Zong Ze had never felt so blocked in the face of the agitated common people.

He is not afraid of death, there is no need to prove this to anyone, he is already prepared for the worst.

Ever since the news of the destruction of tens of thousands of officers and troops in Yunzhou came, he had imagined countless endings for himself, the worst being trapped in Liangshan and martyred for the country.For this magistrate, who was nearly sixty years old, although he had not made any great achievements in this life, dying to guard the soil was also a glorious and well-deserved death.

But what he never expected was that the people who rushed into the yamen first were actually the common people under his rule.Looking at the faces of different people, young and old, but with the same hatred, this kind of blow was simply devastating to Zongze.

As a low-level court official who has lofty ideals and sticks to them all his life, death is not a terrible thing.The most frightening thing is that he is abandoned by the hearts of the people that he has exhausted his whole life and accumulated bit by bit for the court.

Their appearance was like a sharp knife piercing the heart of this old man who loved the people more than himself, and the belief he had always held on to almost collapsed.

"This is Mr. Zong! It's definitely not Shi Wenbin and other superficial donkey dung, they are two completely different people!"

Lao Menzi shouted hoarsely, but unfortunately his voice seemed very small in front of the crowd.Like the lonely boulder before the sea waves hit the shore.Apart from showing his integrity, he was ultimately powerless to restore the overall situation.

It has been more than half a year since the Zongxianggong took office, but in the hearts of the people of Yuncheng who have been bathed in Liangshan's benevolent government for three years, he really doesn't have much sense of existence.

This is a rare paradise in the Song Dynasty, and the person who created this paradise had already firmly established himself before Zong Ze arrived.

"It's different from Shi Wenbin!? Okay. Tell me, where was your husband when our relatives were suffering in Yunzhou? Where was your husband when the officers and soldiers robbed us of our food and accused us of being bandits?" ? When we say that every day should not work, where is Mr. Xianggong? Now we don’t want you to care about it, and we don’t expect you anymore, but you are going to fight against Liangshan again. You say we answer No! Let’s tell this grandpa, we are 180 people who don’t want to!”

"The imperial court doesn't do personnel affairs, so why don't our heroes on Liangshanbo do it? The pedants who went out in our village said that the sky has not been able to do justice for a long time! It's hard for us Liangshanbo to do justice for the sky, but you just jumped out to stop it Come on! Tell me, what are you asking us to say about you? Since you are holding back your energy, you won’t be able to see us well. If we just watch Liangshan fall, we will not only live in vain in this life, but also sinners for generations to come!"

Lao Menzi's kindness didn't work, but instead stimulated the common people to become even more excited. Everyone stepped forward one after another, and some people started shouting and fighting.

None of these questions were answered directly by Zong Zeke.Of course he can tell the truth, but the key is that he no longer has the intention to speak the truth in public.There is a person who walks in front of the court everywhere, bringing to light many unsolvable but manageable contradictions that can be hidden.As a fringe member of the imperial court, he couldn't open his mouth and act as a fig leaf for another group of thieves who dominated the imperial court and ruined the country and the people.

suddenly.A strange idea came to Zong Ze's mind. If he died at the hands of the people at this time, although it was a great irony, it might not be a relief.

A drop of turbid old tears spilled out of the corner of his eyes, and then soaked into the scarlet official uniform that represented the majesty of the imperial court. A kind of desolation that was about to end began to ferment in the depths of his heart, and spread rapidly, stimulating every pore.Because at this moment, he seemed to have witnessed a period of history, the rise of an armed group that could crush the imperial court in the control of the people's hearts.

And Gao Qiu's blood is Liang Shanbo's silent oath.

"Get out of the way, the second brother of my uncle's family was murdered by the army in Yunzhou. Today I want to seek revenge from this gentleman!" A strong man squeezed out of the crowd and came aggressively.

"The injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner! It's not the family's harm! You...you don't want to make mistakes!"

Lao Menzi realized that he was not helping at all, the blood of Shandong people burst out from his body, and he used his whole body to protect Zong Ze. Anyone who wanted to harm this Zong Xianggong had to step on him.

"What do you see on his body? The imperial court harmed me, and I went to the imperial court. Why didn't I have a wronged person and a debtor? Why did I wrong him? Get up!"

The brawny man didn't want to make things difficult for others, so he pulled at the door immediately, and when the common people saw this, they seemed to respond together. At this moment, they heard the sound of thunderstorm above everyone's heads, which was deafening.

"Folks, listen to Liangshan Wusong!"

When the people heard that it was Wu Song who spoke, they couldn't help but stop and looked back. At this time, someone shouted: "Let's all stay still and listen to what our tiger-fighting hero has to say!"

Wu Song took three steps and made two steps, squeezed to Zongze's side, and said to the densely packed people in front of him:

"Fathers and folks from Yuncheng County, younger brother Liangshan Wusong! Before going down the mountain, brother Wang Lun, the head of the village, told me personally that he ordered my younger brother to invite this Zongzhi county official to go up the mountain. I can't explain it when I go back! Brothers, sisters-in-laws, uncles, and uncles, please hold your hands high!"

Wu Song clasped his fists in all directions, a sense of pride filled his chest.I think that when I accidentally encountered a big insect on Jingyanggang, I tried my best to get rid of it. As a result, I was sincerely loved by the people of Quanyanggu County.But comparing what I did at that time with the current scene, what is it after thinking about it?Back then, he just got rid of a wild beast, but what he is doing now is to remove the shackles from the people. Compared with the two sides, the self who felt good at the beginning is really small.

"Ah?! Our white-clothed Wang Xiucai wants to invite him up the mountain? There is nothing good in the court, please go up and do it?" The strong man couldn't turn around at once, and at this moment he was still thinking about the pain of bereavement, so he couldn't help asked aloud.It's good to deal with Liangshan heroes. If you have something to say in your heart, you don't have to hide it, and no one will think that you are offending him.

"That's right! The imperial court not only has no good things, but also specifically excludes good and beloved people. Our Wang Shusheng was also a character who passed the exam in Tokyo back then. However, the rich and powerful in the Manchu Dynasty didn't know him, so they forced him to go to Liangshan, but who to blame? "

"You can't say that! Wudutou came from the imperial court, so why are there no good things?" Someone in the crowd answered.The words were good, but they sounded awkward, but Wu Song didn't take it too seriously, instead he cupped his fists to signal the crowd, and the big guys burst into a burst of good-natured laughter.

At this time, another human said: "A hero like Wu Dutou is clearly qualified to be a general. He is only a Dutou. Thanks to Liang Shanbo, he followed our Wang Shusheng!"

Wu Song felt ashamed, cupped his hands and said:

"This Zongzhi County magistrate has served as the magistrate of several counties, and the general judge of Dengzhou. My brother met him once in Dengzhou and knew that he is a rare and honest official. So I want to invite him to the mountain to reminisce about the past!"

"A clean official? A good official? I don't feel it!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.If the people outside Liangshan's sphere of influence heard this, they would definitely vomit blood. They couldn't even hope that they would come to a parent official like Zongze.But the people around Liangshan are just so "knowledge later", why do you think?

There is a famous saying in the book "Mencius", which is called "Those who look at the sea can hardly be water", which is the original version of the popular saying in the future, "It was hard to be water in the sea", which means that the sea has been seen before, so what if you see ordinary small rivers? Will be excited?

Think of an armed group that does not collect taxes or pay food. If you are sick, you will be treated for free, if you have a grievance, you will be reported for free, and you will be provided with countless opportunities to make money and make a fortune. he?

It can be said that no matter who the imperial court sends to guard one side of the Liangshan berth, they will be powerless and unable to restore the lost popular support.Even famous ministers like Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye, who are destined to be famous in history, cannot perform well in the face of the benevolent government that has become a system in Liangshan.What's more, there are countless evil mothers-in-law suppressing them, and it is not bad to be able to maintain it with all their strength.As for the dignity that the imperial court had already caused him to lose a clean slate, it was difficult to get it back by relying on these few aliens in the officialdom.

"Our Wang Shusheng said that he is a good official, so he must be a good official. Don't be a disservice to everyone, and send our Zong Xianggong up the mountain!"

The voices in the crowd questioning Zong Ze gradually decreased, while the voices echoing Wu Song increased.

"Mr. Zong, I've offended you! When we see the clothes on you, we feel angry! All the crows in the world are black, but only one is white, and we can't recognize them! Don't be offended if you offend me!" !"

"Our white robed Wang Xiucai is the descendant of Tian Kui Xing, who was sent by God to save our people. You should go up to the mountain to help him, and you will be able to achieve positive results in the future!"

Zong Ze, who had mixed feelings, was helped up by the strong man who wanted to beat and kill just now. The people around him said that he was offended. Like an outsider, this loss made him uncomfortable.It's like a master who is invincible in martial arts, lonely for a long time in the Jianghu, finds that another person has not made a move, and defeats him.More importantly, this person's goal is to overthrow his own sect.

"Zongzhi County, what an offense! Please let me go up the mountain together! I'm afraid Chen Zhizhou of Yunzhou and Zhang Zhizhou of Jezhou are already on the way, let's not be late!"

Wu Song has always been polite to this old man, because Wang Lun once said that this is the "mainstay" and "national backbone".Since Wu Song went up the mountain, he had never heard Wang Lun, who is attentive to people, speak so highly of a person.Even if it was the other two magistrates with much higher official positions than this person, Zhang Shuye of Jizhou was only called the conscience of the court by Wang Lun, and Chen Wenzhao of Yunzhou was the most ordinary, with four simple words: this man is good.
