    After walking five or six miles, they came to a farmyard under a high hill. They saw only a few cattle and sheep on the hill, but there were flocks of geese and ducks in the pond in front of the yard.

    Mu Hong led everyone through the front yard and invited them to a pavilion in the backyard. He said with a smile: "I saw that brother Gongming just ate some random food on the roadside. When he came to my village, I had to entertain him again."  That¡¯s right. You can take a rest and I¡¯ll give them instructions myself. Mu Chun, please talk to the brothers.¡±

    As he said that, he walked away quickly.

    Song Jiang looked at Mu Hong Rufeng's footsteps and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Mu Hong is quite a happy person."

    Chao Yong saw that Mu Chun was still standing and said with a smile: "You should also sit down. We don't know each other before fighting. We are both good men. The previous matter has been revealed."

    Mu Chun hugged everyone awkwardly before sitting down.

    Chao Yong asked suspiciously: "I have also heard about the dangers of this Huashi Gang. I heard that many people in Jiangnan have lost their families and their lives because of it. I am afraid that the money you collected from the merchants is not enough?"

    Mu Chun nodded and said: "Well, there is an endless stream of ships transporting Hua Shi Gang on the Xunyang River, and money, food and labor are sent down every few days. The merchants in the town can only collect a hundred thousand dollars a month, how can they do it? Originally, it was still possible.  There are several big households in the town who share the burden, but as time goes by, everyone can no longer bear it. Several families have moved away, and the burden left behind is even heavier. You see, there used to be herds of cattle and sheep on my mountain, but now only that is left.  There were only a few, and the rest were slaughtered by the officials who escorted Hua Shigang, just to save them money, food, and servants. "

    Chao Yong asked doubtfully: "Then why don't you distribute some to the people in the town?"

    Mu Chun smiled bitterly and said: "I never thought about it. It's just that Hua Shi Gang not only apportioned money and food, but also divided the labor. Ten of these laborers never come back. If the people in the town have labor, the money and food should naturally be paid."  Shared by large households.¡±

    "I'm ashamed to say that although we are not afraid of death, we don't want to die in vain, so we have to use money and food to replace the servants. Just because when the Hua Shi Gang encounters inconvenient traffic sections, we have to use manpower to carry it, regardless of the heat or rain.  They had to grit their teeth and endure the snow, wind and frost, and were beaten severely by the officials if they made the slightest difference. The civilians could only sleep in the fields, exposed to the sun and night, and suffered from the cold, summer, wind and frost.  He was tortured and died on the way, so people avoided him like a snake or a scorpion."

    Ruan Xiaoqi heard this and shouted: "You are too cowardly. After your cattle and sheep are slaughtered, what will you use to entertain the officials? This world is muddy and there is no end. I think your brother will go to Liangshan with us to gather for justice."  , Kill corrupt officials and save the people, that¡¯s what a good man does.¡±

    Hearing this, Mu Chun said with surprise: "Could it be that my brother is a hero from Liangshan?"

    Chao Yong saw that Ruan Xiaoqi had let it slip, so he also clasped his fists and said, "It's not because we deliberately concealed it from each other. People have so many different mouths just now that it's inconvenient to use names. I am Chao Yong, the little overlord of Liangshan, and he is Ruan Xiaoqi, the Living Yama."

    When Mu Chun heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "In recent days, all the talk in the world is about the deeds of the little overlord, and Mu Chun's ears have become calloused. If I don't want to meet each other today, please bring me to join the gang, brother."  I also want to do justice to heaven and be a good man like you.¡±

    Chao Yong looked at Mu Chun and felt a little helpless. He was just a big kid, and he didn't have any concepts of good and evil. He probably only wanted to be a good man. If he agreed to it, he might be suspected of kidnapping.

    Mu Chun saw that Chao Yong was silent and said hurriedly: "I was reckless in the town today. I kowtow to you and admit my mistake. Please take me up the mountain."

    Chao Yong quickly stopped Mu Chun and said, "Get up quickly and discuss this matter with your brother."

    While talking, Mu Hong had also returned. Seeing the two of them, he shouted: "Mu Chun, what are you doing?"

    Mu Chun couldn't help but trembled when Mu Hong yelled at him, and turned around and said, "I'm paying my respects to brother Liangshan Little Overlord."

    When Mu Hong heard that Chao Yong was the Little Overlord of Liangshan, he couldn't help but was stunned. His steps slowed down a little, and he walked up to him, clasping his fists and saying, "It turns out that it's the Little Overlord in front of me. Mu Hong has been rude and I hope you can forgive me."

    Everyone saw the ceremony again. Ruan Xiaoqi spoke quickly and said: "Just now Mu Chun said that he wanted to go to Liangshan with us. I wonder what brother Mu Hong wants?"

    Hearing this, Mu Hong couldn't help but glance at Mu Chun.

    When Mu Chun saw his brother looking at him again, he was so frightened that he hid behind Chao Yong.

    When Chao Yong saw this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mu Chun's character is undecided, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

    Mu Hong thought for a while and said: "The heroes of Liangshan are doing justice for heaven. No one in the world of our generation would admire him. But I still have my father at home, so I'm afraid he won't be able to stay away from his homeland. I just have to wait for Mu Hong to serve his father for the rest of his life, and then Mu Hong will definitely lead him."  Brothers, go and meet all the heroes.¡±

    Ruan Xiaoqi said: "You are also a man, how can you be such a mother-in-law? How many times can you send the remaining cattle and sheep to the government. When you finish slaughtering the cattle and sheep, you brothersIt's time to move the flowers and rocks.  "

    Mu Hong smiled bitterly and said: "Mu Chun must have told you that during the Chongning period, Suzhou set up the Yingfeng Bureau to start transporting these flowers and stones. At first, I thought it would only take a few years for the emperor to build the palace and garden. Unexpectedly, ten  Several years have passed, but Hua Shi Gang is getting bigger and bigger. My fortune is almost at its bottom, but Hua Shi Gang doesn't know when.  But the villages and towns in the upper and lower towns hated my brother to the core. Just because there were fewer servants from Jieyang Town, they had to make up for it in other places. I don¡¯t know how many people in other villages and towns lost their families because of this. I don¡¯t know whether what I did was right.  Wrong, many times, I also want to escape from this place and have nothing to do with this Hua Shi Gang. "

    Chao Yong didn¡¯t expect Mu Hong to think so far-reaching. When a disaster strikes, everyone only thinks about protecting themselves and their families, and they don¡¯t care about others.  Just like Chao Gai and others robbed the birthday card and dropped the grass, how could they care how many public servants were punished for it.

    "I went to Tokyo last year. The construction of Genyue is only half completed. I'm afraid it will last for many more years. I'm not trying to lure you away. If your family's wealth has been exhausted, it's better to leave early. It's better than the end.  The family was destroyed.¡±

    Hearing this, Mu Hong couldn't help but wonder: "This Huashi Gang has been around for more than ten years. How come Gen Yue has only been built for less than half of it?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "When I was in Bianjing, I also made some inquiries. The emperor once painted nearly a thousand acres of land in Genyue, which naturally required a lot of exotic flowers and stones. Then there are the corrupt officials who wield power, and there are many  They have intercepted all the flowers and stones, and the construction period of Genyue is naturally getting longer and longer. Moreover, there are always more strange flowers and stones sent. After looking at the backward ones, he feels that the previous ones are not satisfactory, and there are countless ones discarded. "

    Mu Hong said angrily: "We, the common people, are struggling hard and just waiting for Gen Yue to be built. How could we know that those people in Tokyo don't care about us at all?"

    Speaking of anger, Mu Hong slapped the stone table hard.

    "Snapped"

    With a crisp sound, the stone table in the pavilion was torn into pieces by Mu Hong's palm.

    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but get up and hide.

    When Mu Hong saw this, he quickly clasped his fists and apologized.

    Seeing that his brother was angry, Mu Chun plucked up the courage and said, "Brother, we are all dead. Why don't we follow the little overlord to Liangshan?"

    Mu Hong paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said, "That's all, this muddy world has no end, so I still ask the little overlord to take the contract."

    Chao Yong did not expect that his words would actually persuade Mu Hong, and said happily: "Okay, brother Mu Hong is such a hero, even if he goes up the mountain, he can become a leader."
