Gongzi Musheng placed the sleeping Zhou Rushui into the carriage, turned his head, and saw a strong man with a wide waist and a thick back and a wide mouth kneeling behind him.

Zhong Yan saw that he seemed to bow again and again, and bitterness also appeared on his honest and silent face.

Seeing this, Gongzi Mu Sheng raised his eyebrows, and when he saw the bright dark face on his forehead, he glanced at Wang Yuxi, who had nothing to do with him and had been helped to the front of the car by the servants, and asked Zhong Yu gently and elegantly, "What grievances have you been unsettled?"

In the past, it was recorded under the Tan bow of the Book of Rites, and the Tao was Confucius to the side of Mount Tai, and suddenly heard a woman crying in front of the tomb. When the master heard this, he asked Zilu and said, "The cry of the son is also like a person who is worried." The woman replied, "However, my uncle died in the tiger, and my husband died again, and now my son is dead again," and the master asked, "Why don't you go?" and the woman replied, "There is no harsh government." Then, the master sighed, "The boy knows it, and the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger." ”

The old woman would rather her relatives bury the tiger's mouth one after another than leave the mountains and forests to face the harsh government. It can be seen that the harsh government is ruthless, and it is even more harmful than the tiger.

And the Zhong family sisters and brothers who are here to escape the world seem to have encountered more injustice than the old woman.

Fengyin County is under the jurisdiction of Fengyi County, and the farmland in the county is unusually flat. The Zhong family is a well-known wealthy family in Fengyin County.

Forty-five years ago, the Huanhe River was decided three times in two years, and the tail swing occurred from Qinyun County, and it was diverted to Fengyin County. Because the river has been rushing for many years, the people of the county are miserable, in order to protect the farmland in the county and maintain the people's food, they begged the imperial court to build a stove dam.

At that time, not only the government was dedicated to flood control and damming, but the people in the county also contributed to each other. The first of these is Zhong Qian, the grandfather of the Zhong brothers and sisters. Zhong Qian worked hard for flood control. He spent a lot of money, only with his own strength, spent 30 years of work, from Fengyin County, to build a 40 miles long, top wide, nine feet high stove dam

。

Originally, the government and the people worked together, and although Fengyin County was poor, it was also concerted and life was delicious. However, five years ago, the old county Yin Luqian died of illness while in office, and Yao Zhi succeeded him as county Yin.

After Yao Zhi succeeded him, he no longer cared about Gu He's affairs. Not only that, but he also severely reprimanded the Zhong family for building a dam with ill intentions, which was quite suspected of buying the hearts of the people. So he repeatedly made things difficult, and for trumped-up crimes, he took the Zhong family's Wanguan family wealth.

At that time, Zhong Qian was already old, and he was at the end of the strong crossbow, but after another accident, his blood and blood did not continue, so he died unjustly. For a time, the Zhong clan fled in all directions, leaving only the Zhong sisters and brothers to stay in Fengyin County, guarding filial piety for their families and supporting the fallen portal.

In the autumn of the same year, Fengyin County broke the bay, and countless fertile land houses were destroyed. However, because of the injustice of the Zhong family, although the people of Fengyin County complained bitterly, they did not dare to participate in the dam repair. In this way, the stove dam that had been held for Fengyin County for 40 years collapsed overnight, and finally turned into dust like Zhong Qian.

In this way, Yao Zhi didn't realize that he had it, but sighed that it was better to be blocked, and he said that the annual river disasters in Fengyin County were all because of Hebo, who was the lord of the Huanhe River, and had been lonely underwater for thousands of years, so he couldn't see the peace of the world, and the love of husband and wife. Therefore, the people of Fengyin County should send their wives and serve Hebo wholeheartedly. In this way, when the river is happy, the people will no longer be embarrassed, and the river will not flood.

At first, the people of the county believed in him, all because after Yao Zhi took office to sacrifice the river, there was really no flood disaster the following year. But I didn't want to, so I had to go on for that year. In the past five years, the river has been sacrificed every year, and there have been disasters every year. What is even more terrifying than the river disaster is the so-called worship of the river.

Because he wanted to worship Hebo, Yao Zhi would privately collect a "family tax" every year, taking millions of money from the county residents to fill his private pockets. This is not enough, he will think that in the name of Hebo's selection of women, he will forcibly recruit the sister-in-law who is over 14 years old in the county into the mansion, obviously as a woman, but secretly it is a bad thing.

Yao Zhi couldn't see the Zhong family's prestige in Fengyin County for a long time, so he robbed the Zhong family's Wanguan family wealth, and still looked at the Zhong sisters and brothers who didn't leave. In this way, when he chose a wife for Hebo last year, he deliberately chose Zhong Sui, the only daughter of the Zhong family.

The Zhong family was bullied so far, and they were full of anger, so they decided to "rob their relatives". But in the end, two fists were invincible to four hands, not only Zhong Sui was thrown into the river and lost his life, Zhong Rein's brother-in-law was also tortured to death, and Zhong Rein was also tortured for this.

Listening to Zhong Ying's eloquent words, Gongzi Mu Sheng's eyebrows were cold, he was really angry, and snorted coldly, "Strange power is chaotic, knocking on bones and sucking marrow, so careless of human life, it's really a big joke in the world"

At this point, Gongzi Musheng's expression eased, and when he looked at Zhong Ruan again, he had already changed his expression. He leaned over and gently lifted Zhong Gong, his eyes were full of sincerity, and he couldn't bear to say, "Listen to your words, Sheng thinks about Zhong Lao's life from the five hearts, and his virtue is red, but he suffers from this, which is really my Zhou's misfortune" Saying, his voice sank again, with some awe-inspiring air around him, and he solemnly promised, "Now the past is difficult to make up, but the past is always the same, Sheng Ding strictly investigates and corrects mistakes, punishes evil and eliminates traitors." I will never call you the Zhong family, and still admit this injustice"

Prince Chu was very annoyed when he left Zhou Rushui, turned his head and saw that Sister A was asleep on the couch as if he couldn't wake up, the two curved little eyebrows were even tighter, one wall sobbed, and the other wall pushed away the jade in front of him, and he was so anxious that he said, "I don't eat or eat, why don't I wake up, Sister must be hungry, Sister is hungry, Xiao Wu doesn't eat", kicked the little short legs and ran to the couch again, the little face was full of tears and went to Zhou Rushui's face, a pair of fleshy hands carefully touched Zhou Rushui's pale and bloodless face, and said in a small voice." Sister, wake up quickly, Xiao Wu is not annoyed, Xiao Wu thinks about Sister A, why doesn't Sister ignore Xiao Wu?"

This scene is also very sad, Shu Ying on the side looked anxious, this way Prince Chu cried I don't know how many times, he was young, the ground was stunned, just out of the canyon, suddenly asked her in a daze, "Ah Ying, Sister don't want to be a little five" that made her heart break, but no matter how she persuaded her, this little bit of a villain was so depressed that she couldn't do it.

When he finally saw Zhou Rushui, he also seemed to be alive. But when I saw the female monarch injured and fell asleep, she became a tearful person again

。 At first, he still tilted his little head back and forced back his tears. But after staying all night and not waking up, he obviously panicked.

Thinking about it, Shu Ying was both moved and distressed, so she hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and hugged Wang Zichu, pinched the silk handkerchief and carefully wiped his tears, and gently comforted, "Little master, if you really feel sorry for the female monarch, you shouldn't be hungry for yourself." Aren't you so uncomfortable when the lady wakes up?"

When she said this, Wang Zichu didn't resist, he clenched his little brows and shrunk into her arms, his small mouth was deflated, and a few tears fell, and he said pitifully with red eyes, "Sister Ah must be hungry too, when will Sister wake up?"

After sleeping for a few days, Zhou Rushui woke up from a dream, and his throat was really dry and hoarse. She slowly opened her eyes, first stunned by the light, and only after a moment did she see the moon-white soft curtain above her head. At that time, Prince Chu's delicate voice also slowly came into her ears, with a clear cry, don't make her feel a thorn in her heart.

"Little Five" Zhou Rushui moved her lips slightly, and coughed twice before she spit out the words in a dumb voice, this time she was also much clearer, and saw the prince Chu Yuan's little head coming out of the couch, and the child's eyes were covered with a layer of water, seeing that she woke up, she was surprised and sad, and after a while, she raised her little arm aggrievedly, stretched out her little hand and touched her face, and said angrily, "Sister, you can wake up, you know, you burned so much that you can grill fish last night"

"Sister Grilled Fish is sick, why do you still think about grilled fish" At first glance, seeing Wang Zichu, and seeing him alive and quirky, Zhou Rushui also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him with a pair of apricot eyes, and smiled, "Good, my little five is fine"

As she spoke, Su Ying had already approached with a steaming medicinal soup and a small plate of starch candy. With red eyes, she lowered her head slightly and supported the soft pillow to tell Zhou Rushui to sit up, and after a while, she carefully fed Zhou Rushui medicine without saying a word.

Seeing Su Ying's obviously sulky appearance, Zhou Rushui was also weak-hearted, so he was busy holding her arm, and said softly, "Okay A-Ying, I'm not good?"

But before she finished speaking, Prince Chu, who was staring at her medicine tightly, shook his head without giving face, and muttered in a milky voice, "Sister is not good, Sister A's legs are broken."

was robbed by Wang Zichu like this, and Zhou Rushui was also powerless, so he had to rub his little head with tears and laughter, and feed him a piece of caramel into his mouth. Changed the topic, still looking at Shu Ying, and asked suspiciously, "Where is this, why did you come to San Lang, is his injury okay?"

The breeze fluttered lightly, blowing the hollowed-out silver incense balls hanging by the bed, and the melodious bells whispered.

Shuying listened to Zhou Rushui's words, and saw that her eyes were clear and her spirit was good, so she changed a bowl of white porridge and continued to feed her, until she saw that she had eaten a few bites, and then replied one by one in an orderly manner, "This is Fengyin County, when the ground moves, His Royal Highness is not far from the canyon, and when he arrives in the morning, he will bring the slave and the little boy with him." Wang Sanlang's injuries are quite serious, and Jian Weng came to pick him up in person, and now, I'm afraid I'm going to go away. She said unintentionally, and when she saw Zhou Rushui, she suddenly felt a little depressed, and she frowned. After a pause, he thought about it for a while before pursing his lips and said in a low voice, "Female monarch, there is another matter, the slave looks wrong." Since His Royal Highness entered Fengyin County, his face was as straight as a well. I didn't sleep all night last night, I was afraid that he would be in a hurry for the benefit of the people, and he would provoke the king's anger again. ”

As soon as Shuying said this, Zhou Rushui straightened his face. Her bright eyes covered with a layer of wet mist narrowed, twisted up a piece of starch candy, and asked with her eyebrows, "Why is this Fengyin County so greasy?"

At that time, it was already the third pole of the sun.

In Fengyin County, the roads are still lit on all sides. Above the main road, the red lanterns hanging on the eaves swayed weakly in the cold wind, and a long strip of red satin stretched straight to the ferry. The pedestrians on the road were all dressed in red clothes, but everyone was full of sorrow, and everyone looked numb, all because of the death order of the county Yin, they walked in a hurry, and walked helplessly to the ferry.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Gongzi Musheng's face turned pale
