Chapter 777: Do you really think there is no zero silver purchase in this world? [2 more]

"Master, have you ever heard of—

“A kind man is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden?”

Huang Wenbing looked out the window:
"My brother is so kind, why does no one dare to bully him?"

Transparent!
Liu Gao had not originally studied Huang Wenye and Huang Fuzi in depth, but he understood it after hearing Huang Wenbing's explanation.

You have to know that this is the Water Margin world where people eat each other. What will be the ending of a truly good person?

Putting aside the minor roles such as Wu Dalang and painter Wang Yi, let's talk about the main characters:

Because of his beautiful wife, Lin Chong was framed by Gao Qiu and exiled to Cangzhou.

Because Xu Ning knew how to use the hook-sickle spear, he was betrayed to Liangshan by his cousin.

Pei Xuan, the "Iron-Faced Man", was framed by corrupt officials because of his uprightness and was exiled to Shamen Island.

There are also "Saint Hand Scholar" Xiao Rang, "Jade Arm Craftsman" Jin Dajian and others...

I can’t say how kind these people are, but at least they have never harmed anyone before going up the mountain.

Pei Xuan, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian and others never harmed anyone after going up the mountain.

So what if he has never harmed anyone? Wasn’t he forced into this situation?

This world is a mess, who can stay out of it?

Huang Fuzi only did good deeds, repaired bridges and roads, made statues of Buddhas and fed monks, helped the poor and the needy, and saved the poor...

Where does the money come from?
Ancestral property?

How much ancestral inheritance can support his extravagance?

Doing business?

Even if Huang Fuzi earned the money through business, although it is said that there is no dishonest businessman, let's assume that he is not dishonest.

Without anyone to protect him, can he keep the money he earns?
Do you really think there is no zero silver purchase in this world?

Liu Gao didn't necessarily have to label Huang Fuzi as a bad guy.

But Liu Gao believed that whether Huang Fuzi wanted to build or preserve his family business, he could not do without the protection of Huang Wenbing, the "wasp sting".

The original book gives a side description about Huang Wenbing sheltering Huang Fuzi.

Xue Yonghoujian set fire to the vegetable garden between Huang Wenbing and Huang Fuzi's homes.

Then Hou Jian knocked on Huang Wenbing's door and shouted:
"There's a fire in the house of the nobleman next door. We need to move some boxes and crates here to send for food. Please open the door quickly!"

When Huang Wenbing heard that Huang Fuzi's house was on fire, he quickly opened the door and went out to put out the fire.

As a result, Song Jiang, Chao Gai and others took advantage of the opportunity to rush in and kill all 45 people in the family except Huang Wenbing.

In fact, Huang Wenbing's family didn't have to go to put out the fire.

Huang Wenbing is a big villain. Why does he care about other people’s life and death?
Since Huang Wenbing's family quickly opened the door to put out the fire, it can be seen that Huang Wenbing has affection for Huang Fuzi.

And he paid a heavy price for it with the death of his entire family.

But what about Huang Fuzi’s attitude towards Huang Wenbing?

When Huang Wenbing heard that Song Jiang had written anti-government poems, Huang Fuzi only cursed behind his back:

"You're doing something so short-lived again!
"It has nothing to do with you, why do you want to harm him?

"If there is justice, retribution will come immediately, but it will not bring disaster upon you."

If you just glance over it, you will definitely think that Huang Fuzi is a good person who is blaming Huang Wenbing for doing bad things.

The problem is that Huang Wenbing was an official of the Song Dynasty. If he saw Song Jiang writing anti-government poems, would there be anything wrong with him reporting it?

There's nothing wrong with that, right?
So what is the weird thing about Huang Fuzi?
Considering the fact that Huang Wenbing’s entire family was murdered, we can see that he was afraid of being implicated!
Besides, Huang Fuzi is Huang Wenbing’s biological brother. Why didn’t he advise his brother in person but only scolded him behind his back?

Isn't it because he's afraid of losing face and losing Huang Wenbing's protection?
Liu Gao felt that there was nothing wrong with Huang Fuzi being a great philanthropist.

But he had to rely on Huang Wenbing's protection, and he had to pretend to be a good person and secretly accuse Huang Wenbing behind his back for fear of implicating himself...

It's just a little disgusting.

"I'm unlucky. My brother must be very happy."

Huang Wenbing smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"I really want to show him that I used to be a judge, but now I have followed my master and become a prefect, and I am even more powerful than before!

"I don't know what his face will be like..."

Runzhou was blackmailed by Liu Gao through Qin Hui and turned into a southern kingdom, but in reality it was still controlled by Liu Gao.

It is equivalent to a country within a country.

Huang Wenbing was appointed as the governor of Runzhou by Liu Gao. If there was anything, he could directly cross the river to discuss it with Liu Gao.

Liu Gao patted Huang Wenbing's skinny little arm:
"Do you want to bring your brother to live in Runzhou?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Master." Huang Wenbing shook his head:
"No need for that, my brother doesn't really like me.

"I know that although he always smiles to my face, I'm afraid he's hoping that I'll get what I deserve."

After two seconds of silence, Huang Wenbing added with a sneer:
"I'll go back and see if he gets his reward for being a good person."

Liu Gao laughed and said, "It's just on the way. I'll take a look on my way back."

……

When they arrived in Jiangzhou, Yan Qing drove the carriage all the way to the riverside:

"Master, I will hire a big ship."

"Wait a minute."

Liu Gao called him and got off the carriage:
"I'm familiar with this place. I'll go ask someone myself."

It must be said that, apart from Huang Wenbing, Liu Gao is the one who is most familiar with this place among this group of people.

Liu Gao walked towards the river, and everyone hurried to follow him.

Liu Gao waved his hand and took Yan Qing with him alone.

There are still many fishing boats lined up on the river bank, all tied up under the green poplar trees.

Among the fishermen on the boat, some were sleeping on the stern, some were making nets on the bow, and some were bathing in the water.

Liu Gao went over and picked a friendly-looking fisherman and asked:
"Excuse me, big brother, have you ever heard of the white shark in the waves?"

Unexpectedly, the fisherman recognized Liu Gao at first sight:
"Are you the official who arm wrestled with the black bear man?"

Good guy!
Liu Gao never expected that his arm wrestling with Li Kui would leave such a deep impression on people...

But it was not surprising to be recognized, because Zhang Shun held a banquet for his wedding and all the fishermen from the river came.

When Liu Gao and Li Kui were arm wrestling, there were tens of thousands of onlookers, and this fisherman must have been one of them.

"it's me."

Liu Gao asked with a smile:
"Brother, have you seen the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun recently?"

"Shh-"

The fisherman hurriedly raised a finger to his lips, then looked left and right cautiously:
"Sir, be careful with your words!"

Liu Gao asked suspiciously, "Why are you so cautious?"

The fisherman came ashore, approached Liu Gao and whispered:
“A month ago, the eldest and second brothers of the Zhang family came to the river to look for a boat.

"I don't know which beast secretly reported it to the authorities, but the government arrested the eldest and second brothers of the Zhang family.

"He is now imprisoned in a large prison, and his life or death is unknown..."

"really?"

Liu Gao's face changed.

No wonder there was no news from Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun after they left. It turned out they were arrested.

"really!"

The fisherman explained:

"The eldest and second brothers of the Zhang family are both very skilled in martial arts, and no one can get close to them easily.

“But there are two new heroes in Jiangzhou.

"One is called 'General of Hundred Victories' Han Tao, the commander of the army.

"There was another one called 'Tianmu General' Peng Qi, who served as the training envoy of the militia.

“Both of them are extremely brave.

“Prefect Cai Jiu sent them to arrest the eldest and second brothers of the Zhang family.

"The eldest and second brothers of the Zhang family are no match for them..."

"They came to Jiangzhou?"

Liu Gao was quite surprised.

Han Tao and Peng Qi originally followed Hu Yanzhuo to attack Liangshanpo.

Later, because Song Jiang was captured but rescued by Chao Gai, the combination of Han Tao, Peng Qi and Hu Yanzhuo disbanded.

Later, Hu Yanzhuo surrendered to Liu Gao and was arranged in Gaizhou by Liu Gao, but he forgot about the CP of Han Tao and Peng Qi.

I didn't expect Han Tao and Peng Qi to be transferred to Jiangzhou, and they also happened to capture Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun...
