Back then, the head of the Green Bamboo Sect became more and more dissatisfied with the eldest disciple, Diao Jingtang, so he supported the little-known Fan Dabei in the gang, thereby dividing Diao Jingtang's forces. The image of the head of the Green Bamboo Sect passing on the throne gradually became clear, and Fan Dabei's power also expanded rapidly. Diao Jingtang felt threatened, and the conflict with his master finally intensified. , succeeded the head of the Green Bamboo Sect.
However, after all, Diao Jingtang has been operating in the Green Bamboo Sect for many years, and his power should not be underestimated. Fan Dabei turned out to be a wandering orphan, and it was Fan Dabei who introduced him to the Green Bamboo Sect. Fan Dabei's case should not be an isolated case. In other words, Diao Jingtang has many direct descendants in the Green Bamboo Sect.
Fan Dabei has the legitimacy of the head position and power, while Diao Jingtang is highly skilled in martial arts and has many direct descendants. After all, Diao Jingtang is not in the right name, and he is guilty of murdering his master. Therefore, if he wants to overwhelm Fan Dabei, he must continue to expand his power. Therefore, he turns his attention to the outside of the gang and seeks foreign aid.
Jade Mianhu and the others entered Diao Jingtang's field of vision. Dare to openly kidnap a court official and the son of the governor of Liangjiang, Yumianhu and others are very powerful, the boss is arrested, Yumianhu and others also need help, so the two sides hit it off. Yumianhu and others respected Diao Jingtang, of course, because of Diao Jingtang's martial arts skills, but, more importantly, the Qingzhu faction was huge, and there were thirty-six villagers in the country.
Jade Mianhu and others are just one of the foreign aids that Diao Jingtang made friends with. Facing the ever-expanding Diao Jingtang, Fan Dabei was under a lot of pressure. Fan Dabei was just a wandering orphan when he was in the hall. Fan Dabei always felt inferior in front of Diao Jingtang, mainly because of his seniority.
As the head of the Green Bamboo Sect, Fan Dabei couldn't make friends with outside forces like Diao Jingtang, so Fan Dabei thought of government forces. This can explain why Fan Dabei is so proactive in helping Jin Yanzi, who has never met before, because Jin Yanzi is a member of the government and the daughter of the governor of Liangjiang. For Fan Dabei, Jin Yanzi can become a middleman between himself and the government.
Putting down the pretense of being the head of the Qingzhu Sect, Fan Dabei came to Jin Yanzi's residence in person and tried his best to flatter him.
It is implied that Jin Yanzi went to the temple, and Fan Dabei's purpose was to create a direct conflict between Jin Yanzi and Diao Jingtang, so as to realize his friendship with the government. Judging from the development of things, Fan Dabei achieved his goal.
According to Jin Yanzi, her father was originally unwilling to compromise with Yumianhu and others. This should be true, otherwise Jin Yanzi would not have to take risks alone. However, he actually accepted Fan Dabei's plan and sent heavy troops to escort the hostages.
Fan Dabei and Jin Yanzi had a heated fight, and Diao Jingtang actually sneered as "nosy". It can be seen that Diao Jingtang is really a simple-minded person in the arena without any political awareness. Tiger and others, thus placing themselves on the opposite side of the government. In this sense, Diao Jingtang was not Fan Dabei's opponent, and it was no accident that he died at the hands of Fan Dabei. In fact, the official recognition of Fan Dabei is also because of the maturity of Fan Dabei's political consciousness.
