Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 386 Broken
At the end of the team escorted by Suzhou guards and gangsters, a fat monk followed behind, trying to sneak into the barracks.

The officers and soldiers at the beginning of the country were still extremely vigilant, and discovered this bald head shining in the dark in time.

"Where did the monk come from?" But the officers and soldiers guarding the gate were also taken aback.If this allowed him to get in, they would all beheaded.

Just a little bit, he succeeded.

"Arrest him!" The officers and soldiers yelled out of embarrassment and rushed forward.

"Slow down, benefactors, listen to what the poor monk has to say." I didn't expect that fat monk to be an unusually flexible fat man.

While dodging the capture of the officers and soldiers, he explained: "The poor monk, named Daoyan, is a good friend of His Highness the King of Chu. Hearing that His Highness is coming, he came here to pay a visit."

"Oh?" Although the officers and soldiers didn't quite believe it, they didn't dare to disbelieve it rashly.So he surrounded him and hurried in to report.

After a while, a waiter from the Chu Palace came out and took a closer look with his thick glasses. "Yao Guangxiao, is it really you?"

"Oh, Mr. Guanzhong, isn't it the little monk?" Dao Yan smiled all over his face and shook his fat hand vigorously. "Let me in quickly."

"Let me come out." Luo Guanzhong took a look at the bustling scene inside, and decisively led Dao Yan to a small tavern outside the barracks, which specializes in selling goods.

~~
Entering the tavern, the two found a secluded corner and sat down.

Luo Guanzhong ordered a few dishes of pigs and water with ease, and poured a jug of wine, then had a drink with Monk Daoyan and said:

"Didn't you place an order in Beijing? Why did you go back to your hometown?"

"Oh, I placed orders in Beijing to look for opportunities. Now that there is an opportunity in my hometown, of course I have to come back quickly." Dao Yan took a sip of wine, put a chopsticks in his mouth, and chewed carefully, only to feel crisp but not rotten. , fragrant but not greasy, and there is no smell of pig offal.

"I haven't eaten this for several years. The small intestine is wrapped in a large intestine. I really miss it." The fat monk looked intoxicated, and his triangular eyes narrowed into a line.

"Is it so delicious..." Luo Guanzhong took a chopstick to cover his sausage, looked at it for a long time, but still didn't dare to put it in his mouth.

"If you don't taste it, how will you know?"

"I don't want to know." Luo Guanzhong rolled his eyes and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"The poor monk said that when Suzhou is in danger, the poor monk should help his hometown to relieve the disaster." Daoyan said seriously, and then changed his smile and said: "Of course the poor monk also has a little selfishness—— Take this opportunity to show your face in front of His Royal Highness Chu. Brother Guanzhong is nostalgic, so he will definitely introduce me, right?"

"Sorry." Luo Guanzhong shook his head resolutely and said, "Liu Bowen told me to take care of His Highness and not let you get close to him."

"It's too much." Dao Yan said pitifully: "All of you have official positions and eat the emperor's food. The poor monk doesn't even have a job. It's all right if you don't give your old friends a hand. You won't go up the house to take the ladder anymore, will you?"

"Didn't you ask for this all by yourself? What is wrong with learning, learning to teach people to rebel." Luo Guanzhong sipped a sip of rice wine and said, "I can't let you lead our Highness down."

"I'm wronged." Dao Yan called out to Zhuang Tianqu and said: "The poor monk just wants to have a formal establishment, so that he can live comfortably for the rest of his life. Besides, your Highness, do you still employ people to ruin it?"

"..." Luo Guanzhong thought of the 'obedience tests' that Lao Liu had done to him, and immediately felt that Dao Yan was right.

That is a bad species, how can it be so bad?

"It's useless for you to tell me these things." Luo Guanzhong said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Qingtian is my boss now, and he said to keep you away from His Highness King Chu, so I can only do so."

"Okay..." Dao Yan was depressed for a long while, and then he said in a bad mood: "The poor monk changed to the way of His Royal Highness, Liu Bowen will not care about it?"

"Shouldn't care about it." Luo Guanzhong shook his head indifferently, he was just entrusted by others, and it was a matter of loyalty.I have no ill feeling towards Dao Yan. "If you just want to be a part-time official, Jinwang's side is a good place to go. He will be a feudal clan next year, and there are no monks in the palace yet."

"Oh, forget it, the third one is boring." Dao Yan was discouraged after hearing the words: "He is too smart and has too many ideas, he won't listen to the poor monk."

"What are you talking about, are you an idiot with our Highness?" Luo Guanzhong didn't like to hear it.

"The poor monk doesn't mean that." Dao Yan sighed and said, "Is it really not accommodating?"

"No." Luo Guanzhong firmly shook his head.

"Alas..." Dao Yan couldn't help sighing, "It's really 'the great way is like the blue sky, I can't get it alone'."

"Hey, there are all the right paths up to the sky." Luo Guanzhong's comfort was a little pale: "Guang Xiao, times have changed. Your dragon-slaying technique is no longer needed. Let it go, let it go, and the world will be enlightened once you let it go." .”

"Poor monk, I want to try again." Dao Yan shook his head, put the half-full jug and the remaining sausage into his sleeves, and said together: "Thank you for the hospitality, the poor monk will come back again. "

Luo Guanzhong nodded, watching his back as he left.Suddenly, I understood why Liu Bowen was so afraid of this 40-year-old fat monk who had achieved nothing...

Without it, no madness, no survival.

~~
The next day, Suzhou Chengguanqian Street was crowded with people.

On the high platform set up overnight by the government, a row of executioners with their heads wrapped in red cloth and their chests puffed up stood there holding ghost-headed knives.

In front of the executioner, there was a row of tied-up prisoners with ashen faces kneeling.

The leader is Xie Yunzhang.

Under the stage, there are still a large number of prisoners waiting to be executed...

The officials of the magistrate's yamen were loudly announcing the names and crimes of the criminals.

All the big families who conspired in Luyuan that day, as well as the gangsters and hooligans who incited the citizens to riot, were basically wiped out in one sweep.

There is no way, the big families are all soft bones, and under the torture of His Royal Highness Jin Wang, they all confessed in every detail.

Suzhou citizens have a relatively high level of education and can understand the crimes read out by officials on the stage.

When they heard that their poor livelihood in the past few years was actually caused by the big households deliberately not starting work in order to put pressure on the court...

Heart, all of a sudden it's completely cold.

They had naively thought that the masters were fighting the imperial court for their own good and for the whole of Suzhou.

It turned out that it was all for themselves!

But what angered them the most was the lord's admission that in order to force the court to abolish the Maritime Commission and impose a sea ban, they actually colluded with Japanese pirates and plundered the people along the coast!
Is this still human?Is this something that humans can do? !
"Bastard!" I don't know who started first, the citizens bent down to pick up the clods on the ground, and threw them hard at the gentlemen on the stage.

"We treat you as ancestors, what do you take us for?!" The citizens were furious and cursed.
