Chapter 1518 Leading Party(2/2)
Meng Laoer chewed the beef in his mouth, picked up the wine glass, and was reluctant to drink the beef, so he chewed hard, and after swallowing, he had time to reply.
"Emperor... no, false emperor. After the false emperor entered Shu, damn, it was fine at first. There were more noble people and Tongcheng became more prosperous. We can also make more money with those businessmen!"
Meng Laoer and his group were collecting protection fees. The merchants gave him money. If there was any trouble, whether it was official or otherwise, he would take the initiative.
"But the puppet emperor suddenly raised business taxes a while ago, and those businessmen were complaining. As you know, I am the most loyal brother. Seeing those businessmen living in a miserable life, can I still skin them? I have no choice but to do so.
I can make a living out of Shu, not only for myself, but also for these brothers."
Meng Laoer raised his head and drank the wine, and said happily: "I haven't drunk this kind of fine wine for a long time."
"What do people in Shu say about my brothers and sisters?" Liang Jing asked.
"You and your concubine were said to be in...Luofengpo! They were killed by the rebels there. The eldest sister and her son escaped and were killed by the local officials. I have confirmed this, and it is true. Therefore, I feel that Brother Liang, you must be
It’s an unexpected event.”
Meng Laoer put two pieces of beef into his mouth and chewed it. He was suddenly startled, "Brother Liang, how did you escape?"
"I was rescued by Your Majesty," Liang Jing said.
"Pseudo-Emperor?"
"Bullshit! It's your Majesty!"
Meng Laoer patted the gum and said, "This is the protection of the ancestors! Oh! By the way, Brother Liang, what are you doing with the army this time?"
"You don't do anything, you just hang out with me!" Liang Jing said with a smile, "Why, you also want to join the army?"
"Think about it!" Meng Laoer said: "My little brother has always dreamed of following the army into Shu. At least he can return home in glory, right?"
"Brother Liang, do you have any ideas?" an evil young man raised his glass and asked.
"This matter... I might as well give it a try."
"Thank you, Brother Liang!"
The villains raised their glasses.
Liang Jing didn't dare to drink more, so he left later and asked them to wait outside the state house tomorrow.
Back at Zhouli, the emperor had just come out of the bath and was reading documents.
"His Majesty!"
"Liang Qing." the emperor asked, "but is there something wrong?"
"I met a few old friends from Shu before. After asking around, I found that the false emperor was already fishing in the lake."
"oh!"
"The puppet emperor raised business taxes several times, and the businessmen complained endlessly..."
The businessman segment is something you can fight for!
The emperor knew it well.
"Farmers' taxes have also been increased, otherwise they won't be able to feed the army."
"This is your own fault!"
The emperor said with satisfaction: "I took you, a local snake, to go on an expedition, and it really paid off."
Liang Jing took advantage of the situation and suggested that several bad guys wanted to join the army and lead the party in making meritorious deeds.
The emperor smiled and said: "Ask Uda about small things."
"yes!"
When Uda heard that it was the emperor who nodded, he naturally agreed.
This class of people are scattered personnel and cannot be mixed with the army. They can only hang out with Uda and others.
On the morning of the next day, Liang Jing waited for Meng Laoer and others outside Zhouli.
"Brother Liang, how are you?" Meng Laoer asked eagerly.
"Yeah, you're doing something, why do you still need to ask?"
Everyone cheered, and then someone inside spoke.
"Nanzun City lies in front of the army. Zhao Yong is asking for instructions whether to attack."
"Don't fight, keep it for the New Year? Send infantry to assist immediately, let Lan Jian go."
Following this sound, a group of civil and military officials came out surrounded by the plainclothes emperor.
The emperor glanced at the bad guys, nodded slightly to Liang Jing, and then said as he walked, "The army should rest and recuperate quickly. After taking Nanzun, it will advance immediately. I want to see what the scenery of Shu is like in the autumn wind!"
"
Several bad guys were stunned.
"That's..."
"That's Your Majesty!"
"The ancestor has appeared." Meng Laoer was so excited that he knelt down and said, "I have met Your Majesty!"
The emperor turned around and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty smiled at me!"
