Chapter 2 When the faint king takes office, the people are struggling to make a living
After Gao Pei ascended the throne, he was not only unbridled, but also did not care about military and political affairs, and indiscriminately killed the courtiers and put the people in dire straits, but none of the people and courtiers dared to complain, and occasionally one or two people were brave enough to go to the table, but they also died;
The common people are facing the once prosperous country, but now they are full of devastation, the rivers are declining, the rich families have emigrated to other places, and the poor families can only sigh secretly that they can live for a day and do not seek to survive.
Less than two years after Gao Pei's accession to the throne; 'Changbei' and 'Xia Feng' took the opportunity to jointly attack 'Fanliang'; Gao Pei finally had to face the consequences of his own creation, even if he died tens of thousands of times, he couldn't make up for the fiasco of a country; after the defeat of 'Fanliang'; after the 'King of Changbei' negotiated with the 'King of Xiafeng', the king of Changbei decided to divide one-third of Changbei's land into Xia Feng's, and Fanliang after the defeat was owned by himself, and he also took this as a base and renamed it 'Beiliang Kingdom'.
"Twenty-three years of Beiliang" "that is, the previous Fanliang" "Beiliang King" ascended the throne, ordered that all the courtiers of the previous dynasty related to the "Fanliang" royal family of the three grades were wiped out, and all the court officials below the three grades were exiled to the border pass, and they were not allowed to return to Liangcheng in this life;
The inky night sky, without wind or moon; Dark clouds covered the entire night sky, like a thought, heavy and suppressed in people's hearts; Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves disturbed the silence of the night.
I saw that a group of officers and soldiers in the black press, all holding swords, were densely scattered in the streets and alleys, as if they were mixed with the night; In the dim light, a general led by a black Humvee stopped in front of a maroon gate; The 'Lin Mansion' hung high in the air came into view; with a wave of their hands, all the officers and men broke in one after another; then, just listening, from far and near, from high and low, there were bursts of miserable shouts, and suddenly, the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
In the middle of the night, two black shadows flashed; Came to the west courtyard of the 'Lin Mansion', jumped in; I saw that the blood in the house was flowing like a river, and the corpses were intertwined, this situation was unbearable; the two quickly shuttled in the house, only to wait for a moment, the two returned to the original point, in the dark night, a pair of deep eyes intersected, and then one disappeared here.
On the outskirts of Liangcheng, there is no need to be prosperous in the city, but there is another general scene, with mountains and flowing water, lakes and flowers; There is no lively noise, but there is fairyland-like tranquility; A farmer dressed as a husband and wife by the lake is overjoyed to collect the fishing nets in the lake; Such a scene, with such characters, is comparable to a beautiful scroll in a painting, and one can't help but be immersed in longing.
Wrapped up in the net on the shore, the fish that jumped angrily seemed to be longing for the resources of water, and as if they were fearing the loss of life; The couple skillfully picked the large and small fish and put them into the prepared fish basket.
Listening, the woman sighed: "Oh, this fish is getting fewer and fewer, I really don't know, how to live in the future!" ”
"Don't worry, lady, this 'King of Beiliang' has just ascended the throne, and he will not starve us to death." The man said indifferently while tending to the fishing nets.
"That's what I said, but oh," the woman said halfway through her words, she tripped over something under her feet and fell to the ground.
"The lady is fine, right?" Seeing this, the man hurriedly threw down the fishing net and ran over to help the woman up.
The woman got up, slapped the dirt on her body, and angrily kicked and tripped over her own thing, "Oh, what the hell is this?"
The man comforted the woman and said, "Presumably, the fisherman threw the salvaged aquatic plants here. ”
The woman sighed unhappily, and it was very difficult to dispel the anger in her heart; kicked twice on the aquatic weeds, and suddenly an embroidered shoe came into view; When the woman saw this, she was so frightened that she retreated again and again; The man put his arms around his wife, also with a look of fear.
"Hurry up, let's go home." The woman hurriedly pulled her husband to leave; The man put away the fishing nets on the ground, carried the bucket of fish, and prepared to leave.
The two didn't take two steps, only to hear the "daddy" couple stop when they heard the sound; Looking in the direction of the pronunciation, it was the edge of the water grass just now.
"Let's go", the woman pulled her husband away in a panic.
"Lady, that person is not dead yet!" The man stopped, and said with a little unbearable; The woman also stopped, thinking for a moment; The couple slowly walked to the edge of the water grass just now.
The man gently peeled off the water weeds, and saw that a woman dressed as a person was covered in blood and curled in it; Seeing this, the man was so frightened that he took two steps back; The woman was so frightened that she hid in her husband's arms.
The couple calmed down for a moment, and the man stepped forward to drag the man out of the water and grass; Fingers poked under his nose, turned around and said, "Madam, she's still alive." ”
"So what, we can't afford to raise her." The woman seemed to have a senseless face, but she also had a frightened heart that was difficult to hide.
The man explained, "Lady, I didn't mean to raise her, we can save her first." ”
The woman glanced at the people on the ground, and said with a reluctant expression, "Oh, what if you save it, she can still give us money like this!" ”
"Lady, although our family is a little poor, we still have a mouthful of food, besides, we saved her, she should also help us do some work in the future." The man looked innocent.
"Okay," the woman said, looking at the people on the ground, and picking up the work for nothing;
When the man heard this, he happily picked up the man on his back and walked home.
