From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 643

Adopting a son knows the kindness of his parents. Since he married a wife and had children, he finally realized the hardships of his father.Being a bandit is not what he wants, and no matter how many bad things he has done in these years, he has never owed him half a penny.Therefore, he has to be filial, and as the eldest son, he must stand up at this time.

It is said that men do not flick their tears lightly, but they did not reach the point of sadness. Pan Yongnian cried, as if he did not expect his son to say such touching words.

His son Mei Jinze especially understands his feelings, and it can be said that he empathizes with him at this moment.After thinking about it, he glanced at Fang Pingsheng, seeing that he had no objection, he said: "This matter is up to your father, if you are worried, go with it. Just don't blame me for not reminding you, there is still a big family behind you." Woolen cloth."

Pan Yongnian has three sons, and Pan Jiachang is the eldest, who is 23 this year.There are two younger brothers below, one is 20 years old, and the other has just turned [-]. Both are not yet married but are considered adults.However, because of their personality differences, the two of them were at odds with each other, and they fought and fought a lot these years.

Turning his head, he first glanced at his mother and wife, then Pan Jiachang looked at his child, and then his gaze stayed on his second brother Pan Jiaxing.The four eyes met with solemn expressions, and he said solemnly in the tone of a big brother: "Father often says that brothers work together to cut money, I don't care how you used to fight, how you fight, how you think each other is not pleasing to the eye, but..."

"Brother, don't talk about it, I know, I will take care of my mother, sister-in-law and Xiaobing with my second brother." The third brother Pan Jiahong couldn't take it anymore, his eyes were red and his heart was twisted like a knife.

He turned to look at him in a daze in his heart, as if he didn't expect that he would reconcile with himself after being stubborn. Pan Jiaxing frowned and said, "Yes, brother, take good care of your father. We will take care of mother and sister-in-law. Don't worry. , I’m old too, I know the seriousness.”

With their words, Pan Jiachang was relieved. He glanced at his wife and children reluctantly. He knelt forward and came behind his father, then silently grabbed his arm.

Pan Yongnian felt that his life was worthwhile, even if he died immediately, he would have no regrets.Raising his hand and wiping away his tears, he looked at Mei Jinze, and he said as if death was at home: "Your Majesty, please speak, what do you want us to do?"

Touched by things, Mei Jinze waved his hand to take away all their relatives, and then left Fang Pingsheng behind and said: "As you said, the soldiers of the Mei family army need winter clothes, food and grass, and money. No To tell you the truth, the gold mountains and silver seas you mentioned are only used by the Mei family's army for half a year, and after half a year, there is nothing left."

Sighing a long sigh and sitting down on the tiger leather chair, Mei Jinze said with a cry of poverty: "You don't know, every time I go to Zhezi, the Ministry of War says that the treasury is empty and there is no money to send. Let us solve it ourselves. I really want to solve it." , but I can’t steal, rob, or rob. So, this matter is dangerous if it’s not dangerous, and it’s not dangerous if you say it’s not dangerous, and it’s not too difficult for you to think about it.”

Knowing that his father was going to rebel, Mei Jinze was very supportive of this, and if Mei Xin hadn't stopped him, he would have killed the prince long ago.Therefore, when Fang Pingsheng said he wanted to get some money, he immediately thought of this trick.

The bandits were doing the business of robbing houses, and none of the soldiers sent by the emperor had captured Pan Yongnian, so naturally he couldn't catch them so quickly.Therefore, he came prepared today, and he brought all his cronies with him.

Speaking of which, this trick is a bit of a loss, what can be done, as the Mei family, as the next leader of the Mei family army, he can't lead his own troops to rob it.Besides, the houses he let the bandits rob were not good families, they were all rich families with blood on their hands and someone who killed them in a lawsuit.

Of course, the government in the first-line sky also has to be robbed. If you don't do business after getting so much money, who will you rob if you don't rob him.

Pan Yongnian and his son were a little confused, but Lu Youliang quickly understood.Feeling that Mei Jinze must not have come up with this idea, he turned his head and looked at Fang Pingsheng.

Everyone in the world knows that the Mei family's family style is extremely upright, and no one is allowed to be a thief.As Mei Jinze was the eldest son and grew up beside Mei Zhannan, Lu Liangping instinctively thought that it was impossible for him to come up with such a bad idea.

Looking at each other with a slight smile, Fang Pingsheng casually stroked his beard and said, "As expected of the backbone of this bandit den, he thought of it in a blink of an eye. Since you have already thought of it, then go ahead and do it. People have already given you the idea." Get ready, as long as you do your best, they will guarantee your safety. On the contrary, if you dare to pour dirty water on the Mei family, you will bear the consequences."

Lu Youliang was thirty-four, and had a pair of children under his knees. I heard that he and his wife had a deep relationship with each other, so he had something to say at the end.

At first, he never thought that they would easily recruit the bandits and himself, Lu Youliang said without changing his expression: "Employers are not suspicious, sir, you can rest assured. The loyalty of the Mei family is well known in the world, even if we go there with great fanfare. If you say you believe it, no one will believe it.”

Generations of sons and daughters of the Mei family have weaved a banner with their blood and lives, a banner of justice that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Therefore, what he said was not an exaggeration at all, not to mention that they were bandits, and a few words in the mouth of the bandits were true.

Fang Pingsheng saw that he was smart enough to understand, and said lightly: "Naturally, otherwise, the son of the world would not have to go through a lot of trouble to kill you directly. You think that no one knows where you hide your gold and silver, but you don't know that it has already been buried. Someone betrayed you. After this period of time, you have lost countless lives and are weak in the suppression of bandits. In order to hide your eyes and strengthen yourself, you can contact the bandits nearby. These gold and silver princes don’t want it, you keep it for yourself. In addition, you don’t need to keep in touch, How to do it, you can discuss it yourself, the son only wants the result."

Collusion between officials and bandits is not a trivial matter, he has to be cautious, and in order to avoid many troubles in the future, not participating is the best way.

Lu Youliang saw that he had completely used them as knives, so he smiled slightly and said, "Mr. is a good plan, I admire you."

Isn't it a good strategy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, reap the benefits of the fisherman, and mess up the hundreds of miles around without any effort.

Fang Pingsheng laughed it off when he heard that his pun was obviously sarcastic.He is a prisoner, and he is not qualified enough to bother him, but if he was not worried about Mei Jinze, he would not have come to this deep mountain and old forest without sleeping in the middle of the night.

Seeing that Pan Yongnian and his son had come to their senses and understood, Mei Jinze didn't say any more.The commander separated all relatives, and after quietly moving them away, he took Fang Pingsheng and others back home.

Fang Pingsheng is now his military adviser, out of admiration and trust he is regarded as a guest of honor.
