Chapter 317 Great Song's Oath

"Look, look, Huahua Tai Sui is here."

"Hey, didn't you say that the big devil's eyes are as big as a copper bell and his waist is as thick as a cow? Why is he a handsome young man?"

"Yangjun is handsome, but unfortunately he is an unreliable hooligan and a gangster."

"It's not surprising. When Gao Qiu was young, he was just a gangster who was not doing his job properly."

After entering the city, many people pointed at Gao Fangping in the bustling county. Although his reputation was not as exaggerated as in Tokyo, he was helpless. Old Gao Qiu was also a gangster before, which made Gao Fangping unable to raise his head here.

While walking, I came to a archway.

This is Chaijiafang. Gao Lian turned around and planned to dismount the Hutou Camp cavalry team led by Liang Hongying.

But Gao Lian had not made a sound yet, and a angrily shouted by the side of the house: "Where did the jackal soldiers come from? You dare to ride a horse through the house? It blinds your dog's eyes, and you don't look at the words on it."

After saying that, a group of gangsters stood up and surrounded him, not allowing him to pass.

Gao Fangping looked up at the archway, with four big words "The merit of showing virtue" written on it.

"Wow, what a big tone." Gao Fangping sighed with an exaggerated look.

Perhaps Xiao Gao looked a little funny, giving people the feeling similar to Stephen Chow. So a leading gangster pointed at Gao Fangping and said, "Where is this a ignorant playboy? Are you sarcastic?"

Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a moment, and said coldly: "The emperor and the prime minister today basically won't cause trouble for me because of their remarks. Which garlic you are, what is your official said and what I don't say, and I need your advice?"

The man who looked like a gangster was stunned. He heard that he claimed to be his official, and when he saw him standing with the magistrate of Gaotang, he was restrained, but he looked not afraid.

Gao Lian didn't want to cause trouble, so he raised his hand to stop the people who were about to talk to him, turned his head and ordered Liang Hongying, "Everyone dismounted."

Seeing that Gao Fangping was not angry, Liang Hongying shook her head stubbornly.

"You..." Gao Lian's macho chauvinism broke out and wanted to tie up this arrogant woman who had not made progress before talking about it.

But at least I had to give Gao Fangping a face, so Gao Lian held back and said, "This county is not a suggestion but an order, otherwise I will drive you out of the city. Get off the horse quickly."

So Liang Hongying had to dismount. She was a relatively disciplined person, and this was indeed the rule of the Song Dynasty. Unless there was an order from the Privy Council, no army could enter Gaotang without Gao Lian and Bozhou's consent. Violations could be designated as a rebel. This point is not really transferred by Gao Fangping's will.

After Liang Hongying and Hutou Camp dismounted, no one said anything. After all, wealth does not compete with officials, so those who look like gangsters are not in a dilemma.

Gao Lian seemed to have become accustomed to all this and took the lead.

Gao Fangping was the last person to pass the archway. After everyone walked over, Gao Fangping passed by, looked up at the four words for a long time, and said with a dark face: "Sooner or later I will pull this archway."

After hearing this, everyone in the crowd was furious. Gao Lian almost fainted and wanted to come over to cover his little brother's mouth. He really didn't expect that Gao Fangping was so ignorant.

In fact, Gao Fangping certainly knew that those four words were inscriptions by Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

The merit of showing virtue refers to the name of showing virtue, Chai Rong, the Later Zhou Dynasty Emperor Shizong.

Chai Rong was a relatively capable person during that year. The Five Dynasties was one of the darkest periods of the Han Dynasty in the historical years, but Chai Rong was relatively the best one. Lao Chai relied on Zhao Kuangyin and was kind to Zhao Kuangyin. Later, he developed the economy, developed the administration, etc., and did a very vivid job. It can be said that the years of showing virtue had a profound impact on Zhao Kuangyin's formulation of various systems and national policies of the Song Dynasty.

So the Chenqiao mutiny took away Zhao Kuangyin, who was in charge of the Chai family, and in return he gave the Chai family an affidavit and inscription: Showing virtue.

The so-called affidavit is the promise and oath of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to the Chai family on behalf of the Song Dynasty, which is the legendary single book iron scroll of the death card.

The death card is just one, and it is in the hands of Chai Jin, the successor of the direct descendant. However, the inscriptions of Emperor Taizu can be used to frame them everywhere. These words can be found in front of the yard where the descendants of the Chai family live. Of course, it is not the instructions of Emperor Taizu, but the interpretation of the people of the world themselves. Over time, it has become a popular unspoken rule.

Official Chai Daren has a very positive image in the book, but Gao Fangping doesn't think so. Especially after experiencing this scene, Gao Fangping's impression of the Chai family is very bad.

Relying on Zhao Kuangyin's "oath", the Chai family has actually become a place where dirty and dirty are hidden. In fact, the family of Chai Daguan in "Water Margin" is indeed a place where dirty and dirty are hidden. Most of the wanted criminals who committed crimes, killed people, and caused lawsuits to run away, so they ran away and hid in the Chai family. Then, under the protection of the four words "Showing virtue and merit", the government cannot investigate or deal with it, or it is inconvenient to investigate and deal with it.

Then, the official Chai Daren was generous and accepted the heroes of the world, and looked like he was not short of money and laughed: Even if he came to eat and drink, he would have enough wine and meat.

So here is a question, where does Chai Jin get the money for raising wanted criminals?

In short, Gao Fangping did not believe it was earned by doing business. Although the Chai family's ancestors were profiteers, the style of Chai was not a businessman at all. Because merchants were all tyrants, they were not so generous. They were full of money to be earned for business and let the wanted criminals eat for free. If there were indeed profiteers doing this, the only purpose would be to turn over the wanted criminals and then send them to the government to receive rewards. Once the businessman invested, he would pursue profit returns, which was in line with the logic of the merchant.

Or, if Chai Jin is a businessman and allows the wanted criminals to take it for free, and then turn it over and go to the government to receive rewards without medicine. There are usually deeper reasons, such as "raising dead soldiers in captivity". Then let the dead soldiers create a larger family business for him, and then raise more dead soldiers in captivity.

At least, Chai Jin also took the state's reward, that is, taxpayers' money, to raise the wanted criminals who murdered taxpayers.

Yes, in Gao Fangping's interpretation, it's just such an essence and logic.

When thinking about this, I wondered if it was because of blood relationship, Gao Fangping couldn't help but feel that the image of the demon Gao Lian was much taller. This kid is really an enterprising young man with ideas. I think that in Gaotang City, I have been influenced by the Chai family for a long time. The Gao family is also a big family here. The friction with the Chai family should not be as simple as one year or two years.

After thinking about this, some things can be explained. After passing the Jinshi period last year, Gao Lian was shameless and said that he wanted to ask Gao Qiu to help him to put him in the magistrate of Gao Tang. There should be a reason. Unlike the heartless Gao Qiu, the young man who made progress, Gao Lian was a member of the Gu family and ancestors. He became famous. Perhaps his goal was to come back and fight the local evil forces to the end.

Many years later, Gao Lian found an opportunity to punish the family members of the Chai family who had the affidavit of Emperor Taizu to search the house. Of course, his ability was still a little lacking, not cunning and decisive enough, so he eventually triggered a bloody case of the bandits of Liangshan attacking Gao Tang, and then he messed with his "uncle" Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu's old man failed, but he was a nostalgic person, so he had to resist and always had deep resentment towards the Liangshan people.

"Damn Li Kui, this is how the turmoil caused by an impulse comes from the situation." Gao Fangping sighed as he walked.

Gao Lian had been dissatisfied with his younger brother for a long time and cursed and said, "But who is the damn Li Kui? Are you really stupid or fake? You just want to make trouble for me, right?"

Gao Fangping pointed to his nose and said, "I originally wanted to scold you, but that would make me very uncivilized. Anyone who knows me knows that I have always won people with virtue."

A group of people around fainted, and the great devil said that he wanted to be convinced by virtue. My mother had just come to Gaotang and didn't respect her elders. She called her aunt an aunt, scared her to cry, and called her "auntie" in a teasing tone, but pointed to the nose of "uncle" but claimed that she wanted to be convinced by virtue. No matter how she looked at her, she was all a scent of Tai Sui, and I don't know if the old lady would be angry to death later...

When I returned to the Gao family's mansion, the first thing I did was to pay my respects to the old lady. I was a younger woman from Wang Qinfei's house, but her mind was clearer than that. Her face was full of wrinkles, her teeth were gone, and she didn't feel the legendary kindness, but this old lady really had a court imperial edict. Of course, it was brought by her father Gao Qiu for her.

The old woman's prestige in the Gao family is similar to that of She Taijun in the Yang family. Of course, she is definitely not as harsh as She Taijun. Then when Liang Hongying gets old, she will be a rampage-like old woman like She Taijun.

"Gao Fangping pays homage to the old lady."

Gao Fangping went over properly and kowtowed a few times in front of him and dealt with the matter.

This was beyond everyone's expectations. Most of the rest of the people agreed that Gao Fangping would not kneel. People with official positions would not kneel, because they would not kneel even when they saw the emperor.

However, Gao Fangping is still a good thing to fool people. He kneels down and doesn't spend any money. He fools the old lady, brainwashs her, and makes some slander, so that she can teach Gao Lian to be a good person. Humph, so that he can train Gao Lian to be a good person.

The old lady was very happy, smiling like a tomato, touching Gao Fangping's head and said, "I'm back, Xiaoping'er finally returned to her hometown. Lao Shi is still muttering, she is so old, I don't know how many days she has left. They all said that you are busy and doing big things, Lao Shi is sad. I feel that I can't see you in this life, so I shouldn't have given you to Gao Qiu's grandson back then."

"..." Gao Fangping was a little helpless. If someone else said this, it was a swearing person, but Gao Qiu's old man was really her grandson, as if he had a false intention.

"The old lady clearly sees that it is normal for me not to come, but it is an accident when I come. Dayu managed the flood several times but did not enter." Gao Fangping said, "Now I am also managing the water in Yuncheng."

Everyone half opened their mouths to think, could this grandson be more shameless? It just said, it seems... this kid didn't say anything. He was really managing the water in Yuncheng, trying to use human power to lead away the magical water pool. (To be continued.)
