Chapter 78 Chapter 1 Merry Forest, the Underworld

Lu Zhishen is righteous and righteous; Lin Chong is technical and powerful; Li Kui is profit-oriented and rogue; As mentioned last time, Shi En not only helped save Wu Song from one hundred killing sticks, but also served Wu Song with good wine and good food, which made Monk Wu Song Zhang Er puzzled. It turned out that there was a market outside the east gate here, and the place name was Happy Forest.According to Shi En, Happy Forest is really happy. First, Happy Forest is an inter-provincial trading place.There are more than a hundred shops, inns and hotels.Merchants from Shandong and Hebei all come here admiringly.

Second, there are 30 or 20 casinos and cashiers.The so-called cashier is a bank specially set up for gamblers.Before gamblers enter the casino, they come here to exchange large ingots of silver into small amounts in order to place bets.If you win, you can exchange the broken silver into big ingots; if you lose, this exchange workshop is also a pawn shop, and you can use the valuable things around you as money to recoup the money. Third, there are many brothels and prostitutes. The question is, how did Shi Eun make Happywood his Happywood? The first is "relying on portable skills".To put it bluntly, it is smashing and looting.But how good is he?In his own words, "I have learned some small guns and sticks from my master in the rivers and lakes since I was a child."The masters in Jianghu are probably like the "seven or eight famous masters" that Shi Jin experienced before he met Wang Jin, and their abilities are not worth half a cent.But this kind of ability is more than enough to bluff ordinary people and beat up those small shop owners.Of course, if you encounter someone with real kung fu, you will definitely show your original shape immediately.Second, the fundamental reason is that his father is in charge of the camp, that is, the warden of the prison or the director of the labor camp.What about him?Known as Xiao Guanying, he relied on Lao Tzu to do evil in the prison.As a result, he was able to use eighty or ninety "abandoned prisoners" as thugs to form a considerable-scale underworld, and he was the boss of the underworld.

After Shi En monopolizes Happy Forest, how can he be happy? First, he went there to open a wine and meat shop, and the wine and meat in the shop were distributed among the shops and the gambling exchange. In other words, he monopolized the wine and meat here. Second, sit and collect protection fees.There are hundreds of big hotels, thirty or twenty gambling houses and exchange houses, and there is spare money every day.At the end of the month, there is still a fixed amount of three or two hundred taels of silver in the account. It is very hateful that he does not even spare prostitutes.Passing prostitutes have to go to the wharf first and pay a protection fee before they can get a license to work, and they are allowed to "take advantage of food", that is, to eat a meal.

This is not even as good as Zhang Qing's black shop.The black shop opened by Zhang Qing also has a principle that it will never harm the "prostitutes in the upper courts of the rivers and lakes", because Zhang Qing can still sympathize with them "rushing to the state, playing tricks on every occasion, and spending so much money and things carefully with them. If you return the result Let him go, those guys, you and I will pass it on, go to the stage and say that we are not heroes like heroes in the world." A man who insults a whore is certainly not a hero.Shi En has never thought about being a hero, and he is a level lower than Zhang Qing in terms of being a human being.He is the boss of the underworld at his core.His goal in life is nothing more than the pursuit of happiness.

Liangshan heroes love to say the word "happy". Let's take Shi Jin as an example. Zhu Wu persuaded Shi Jin to stay in Shaohua Mountain: "Brother is here to be the head of the village, but he is not happy?" Shi Jin said: "Although it is a good relationship between you, it's just that I don't want to stay now. If I find Master, I also want to seek a family background there, and seek happiness for half my life." Song Jiang was going to attack Dongping Mansion. Because Shi Jin knew a prostitute named Li Suilan in Dongping Mansion, Shi Jin sneaked into the city first to prepare for secret operations.I went to the city to find Li Suilan, and said to her, "I'm here to do some detailed work, and I have a package of gold and silver for you. Don't let the news slip away. When the work is over tomorrow, I will take your family up the mountain to have fun."

Liu Tang, San Ruan and the others took the birthday card wholeheartedly, that is, for "happiness".Li Kui kept saying "happy". This actually illustrates two problems: First, at that time, many people were not living happily.That's why he pursues happiness almost crazily, even violating morality and breaking the law.If a society makes many people unhappy, then this society will soon come to an end.Second, most of the 108 people in Liangshan have no ideals at all, and most of them are just pursuing "happiness".We don't have to elevate them.Of course, there is no need to belittle them for this. After all, the pursuit of happiness is a human right.

Sheen is happy in Merry Wood. It's just that if you want to be happy, others should also be happy.Happy forest is such a happy place, if you are happy there, there will always be people coveting it.You are ruthless and dark enough in your kindness. From the prostitutes to the owners of the inns, gambling houses, and cashiers, everyone is afraid of you and has to respect you.However, if you can do this, so can others, as long as they are more ruthless and darker than you. This person appeared, and he was Jiang Menshen Jiang Zhong.Why is it said that Jiang Menshen is more ruthless and darker than Shi En?

First, Jiang Menshen is more ruthless.His martial arts are far above Shi En.He is nine feet long, so he has the nickname "Jiang Menshen".That guy has not only grown up, but also has good skills, such as making a good spear and stick; pulling fists and flying feet, sumo wrestling is the best.According to Shi En, he boasted and said: "Three years of fighting for friendship in Taiyue, there is no right; there is no one like me in the whole world!" He relied on his martial arts to seize Shi En's fortune.Shi En refused to let him, so he was beaten by the servant and couldn't get up for two months.When Wu Song saw Shi En in the viewing hall, he kept his head wrapped and his hands wrapped around his hands. Until now, the sores have not disappeared.Second, Jiang Menshen is even darker.Doesn't Shi En still have his father, the prison warden, behind him?Aren't there still eighty or ninety "abandoned prisoners" thugs?

However, Jiang Menshen's background is harder than Shi En's.Jiang Menshen's background at this time is Zhang Tuanlian in the camp.Zhang Tuanlian not only has a higher status than the warden, but also has trained young men under him, and they are legally armed. Jiang Menshen had these two absolute advantages, and it was easy to replace Shi En.Happy Forest is still the same Happy Forest, but the happy people have changed, and now it's Jiang Menshen's turn to be happy. In the struggle between Jiang Menshen and Shi En, there is no difference between justice and injustice, that is, the black eats the black, and the big black eats the little black.

The stars are still the same stars, and the moon is still the same moon.Why is Happy Forest not my own Happy Forest? Shi En looked up to the sky and sighed, Shi En was not happy anymore.However, there was nothing he could do. Who let me beat Jiang Menshen, and my father's official position is no bigger than Zhang Tuanlian? However, he is not reconciled.In his own words, "I can't repay this infinite hatred... If I can express this infinite resentment, I will die and rest in peace." You see, this is the tone and mentality of the underworld people.It's dark, ruthless, evil, and poisonous.

Now that Wu Song came, he suddenly realized that his chance had come. This man who can kill a tiger is the best fighter in the world, and he can be regarded as the nemesis of Jiang Menshen. Therefore, he had the above-mentioned attentive care for Wu Song.Its purpose is to form kindness, give favors, feel kindness, and win over Wu Song. He was worried that Wu Song would have to work hard on a long journey, and he would not be exhausted, so he asked him to rest for half a year and three months, and then discuss it after Wu Song's body was exhausted. Giving Wu Song good food and spicy food is to rest Wu Song's body so that he can help him beat people! We can see that Shi En is really not a good person.However, he has his honest side.He confessed his thoughts to Wu Song.He could have pretended that he only admired Wu Song as a man, so he took care of him, respected him, and respected him.In this way, his behavior should move Wu Song even more.As for asking him to fight Jiang Menshen in the future, there are better opportunities to speak up.Even, when the time comes, Wu Song will take the initiative to come out and help him settle.It's not that he can't do this, but that novels can't be written like this.Written like this, Shi Eun's image is too bad.Shi En's image is too bad, Wu Song's behavior has lost the basis of justice, and Wu Song's image is not glorious.
