Chapter 40: It's all miserable
Suddenly, everyone present changed their faces.
Especially Wu Tian, he almost subconsciously blocked Xiao Zicheng and stared at Sun Er with a cold expression.
You should know that the Manichaeism almost subverted the Great Zhou regime. Although the uprising failed that year, it was able to withstand the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court for many years, which shows its background.
Now a living thief leader appears in front of the young master, how can he not let Wu Tian arrive nervous?
Compared to Wu Tian's nervousness, Xiao Zicheng seemed much calmer. Since the other party was damaging his identity, there was no threat.
"You are the helm leader of Manichaeism, and after all, you are the leader. Why do you still rebel against your leader? Is he not good to you?"
Sun Er shook his head:
"It's not good or bad. The villain is not prominent in Manichi. There are left and right guardians, as well as great Zen masters from various provinces, as well as deputy leaders.
The capital was divided into stewards, with more than a thousand disciples, and the scale was quite large. The villain... He was willing to do things for the leader."
"Just..." He hesitated a little, and after a while he continued:
"Later, many disciples heard that the barren mountains were recruiting workers, and they all went to the barren mountains. The villain thought that the disciples had gone, so the villain naturally had to go too. The villain had a pair of children, so he came with him with him.
When I arrived at the barren mountain, I saw two benefactors. Only then did the little man realize that there were still good people in this world. Benefactor asked everyone to work hard on mining..."
"Although these jobs are hard, my benefactors are different from the group of dog officials and gentry that villains met in the past. My benefactors are willing to pay attention to finances and build houses for us.
We have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and we have food for us. A few days ago, my benefactor ordered people to kill two pigs. Although each family had not much meat, it was enough for a villain's family to eat for two meals.
Every day in the barren mountain seems to be in a dream. Sometimes the villain thinks that even the leader of the school can't give us such a day.
The villain's son is almost in a state of weakness and is working in the mine. He doesn't have to worry about food and drink, and can save five cents of silver every month.
Which farmer’s house near the barren mountain doesn’t envy the people in our mines, the daughters of good families nearby, and who doesn’t want to marry into the barren mountain…”
Speaking of this, his eyes became brighter and a happy smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
"The villain thought in his heart that Manichaeism is not Manichaeism, that is all fake. The villain's family lost their land due to war and entered the church in order to survive.
But the children of villains are different. When they have children, they can also send them to school with the money they saved in the mine. If they pass the exam, it will be a great joy for Guangzong to be glorious.
Thinking of this, the villain has endless energy to work in the mine every day.”
As he said that, his eyes became redder and his voice was trembling.
"The villain's family is grateful to the great kindness of the man. Although the villain has never read a book, he knows that the kindness of water will be rewarded with a spring of water.
These days, the villain has received news from the deputy leader, asking the villain to act according to the opportunity and muddle the water in Kyoto.
At that time, the villain felt that things were not simple. As expected, nursery rhymes were heard in the capital within two days. Every day since then, the villain was extremely distressed.
The villain is afraid that a good person like his benefactor will be ruined by these rumors, so that the villain will definitely go to Avici Hell after his death.
I am even more afraid that the leader will rebel seriously and that there will be no peace in this barren mountain, and that our last hope will be gone..."
Speaking of this, Sun Er actually burst into tears.
Xiao Zicheng raised his head slightly, his nose a little sour, and Wu Tian's face was not much better. He seemed to have a bottle of five flavors overturned, and thousands of flavors surged into his heart.
He looked at Sun Er who was crying in front of him, and felt mixed emotions.
After all, Sun Er is a farmer who is a mere farmer who only regrets that he lost his land in a chaotic world and has no choice but to embark on the evil path.
Since you have a good life now, you don’t have to be displaced and have food, food, clothing, and naturally you won’t think about rebellion.
But Xiao Zicheng was a little confused, what were the people below him thinking:
"There are more than a thousand Manichaeism members under you among the refugees in the desert. Are they clear and reasonable as you do?"
Sun Er's body trembled, as if he was a little afraid, subconsciously stopped crying, and secretly glanced at Xiao Zicheng.
When he saw that there was no threat on Xiao Zicheng's face, he said tremblingly:
"My benefactor, although the Manichaeans shouted, "Maitreya was born and the Ming king was born, most of them were from poor people."
The reason for joining Manichi is mostly the same as that of villains. Only when they can't survive can they do this. If they have a full meal, who would be willing to do this stingy life?
In the deserted mountains, my benefactor gave us food, and no one bullied us. Who cares about the Maitreya Ming King?
To be honest, even if the villain is determined to be the traitor and force his brothers to take risks, the villain's head will appear in front of the Jingzhao Government tomorrow morning."
"Before the villain came, they were angry with the disciples below. They were grateful to their benefactors and did not want to live the worried life they used to be.
Therefore, the villain would rather apologize to his benefactor on behalf of all his disciples than leave. The deserted mountain is the villain's home. If the blame is hard to escape, the villain will die.
But the villain's family did not participate in anything. They are innocent. The villain only has one wish, which is to allow them to live safely in the barren mountains."
Sun Er said that, he actually kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"If my benefactor doesn't believe it, I will send the villain to Jingzhao Mansion. The others are ordinary disciples. I hope my benefactor will spare their lives..."
call....
Something in Xiao Zicheng's heart was touched, but the crystal clearness in his eyes was hard to suppress.
He asked himself that he was not a good person, let alone the Virgin Heart, but when he saw Sun Er's slightly turbid eyes, he still couldn't bear to give him to the government.
Furthermore, the current Manichae Kyoto branch has been destroyed in name only, with only a group of poor people looking forward to a good life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zicheng gently stretched out his hand and helped Sun Er up:
"Get up first, Sun Er, remember what you said today. Since you are determined to reform yourself, I will help you this time.
But in the end, I cannot decide whether you can survive. You should first go back to the wild mountain to think about your past and tell your disciples that as long as they stick to themselves, the wild mountain will always be their home."
Sun Er was grateful to Xiao Zicheng. When he heard that he promised to help, he fell to the ground again:
"Yes, thank you, my benefactor. When the villain comes back, he will convey his benefactor's meaning to the people below."
