Chapter 6: What happened to Wei Qijun
Father Ye heard that the child had woken up, so he hurried back to see him.
"Kid, you're finally awake." Father Ye saw that the child woke up, and a hanging heart finally fell.
"Thank you, Uncle, for saving your life."
Saying that, Wei Qijun was about to get out of bed and bow down to Father Ye.
"Okay, okay." Father Ye hurriedly helped him and didn't let him get out of bed. "Don't kneel, you're too weak to get out of bed."
"Uncle's life-saving grace, the younger generation can not worship." Wei Qijun insisted on worshipping, but Father Ye couldn't stop him, so he could only accept his bowing.
"Thank you for saving your life." Wei Qijun finished worshipping Ye's father and went to worship Ye Yuning.
"No, no." Ye Yuning hurriedly went to help Qi Jun, "If you call me a little sister, how can you worship me, how can my brother worship my little sister." ”
"But the little sister's life-saving grace"
Ye Yuning hurriedly interrupted him and said: "You call me a little sister, and say goodbye, but you want to break my life, if you insist on worshipping me, I can only kneel back for you." ”
"......"
"Okay, okay, get back to bed, you need to get some rest now." When Wei Qijun wanted to speak again, Father Ye interrupted him and helped him to the bed.
"Kid, your accent sounds like it's south, why did you run so far?"
Wei Qijun couldn't help but sigh, was speechless for a while, and then said: "I fled here, I am from Nanjun, and my name is Wei Qijun. There is now chaos there, my parents and younger brother were killed after the destruction of Nanjun, and now I am the only one left. Rao is man doesn't flick when he has tears, but when he is sad, he can't help but flash tears in the corners of his eyes.
Wei Qijun wiped his tears, and then said: "At that time, there was a major flood in Ba County, the Zhuang family had no harvest, and the price of grain in the rice store was extremely high, but the government did not open the warehouse to release grain.
The people of Ba County found the county guard and asked to open a warehouse to release grain, but the county guard not only refused to release grain on the grounds that the people were too greedy, but also detained all the people who went to petition, and wanted to punish them for the crime of being too greedy.
"A man named Gu Jin killed the county guard in a fit of anger, saying that the county guard did not open a warehouse to release grain, in order to make us bankrupt, sell our children and daughters to buy their high-priced grain, and rely on this disaster to make huge profits and make a fortune, to honor the powerful in the court, and to use our lives to get promoted and make a fortune.
"Then Gu Jin said: 'The county guard wants to force us to death, and he wants to step on our corpses to get promoted to become rich, since he is either killed by the county guard or starved to death, why not gamble, kill the county guard, and open a warehouse to release grain by himself, it is better than letting the villain of the county guard succeed.'"
At that time, there were many people present who responded, and Gu Jin took the lead in a riot in the name of Qingjun's side. Gu Jin led people to smash granaries, robbed large households, and sent people to hype up the township brave volunteers who participated in the Qingjun's side operation to receive food for free.
When the hungry and dizzy people heard that they could receive free food, they joined the riot in one go, and Gu Jin gathered tens of thousands of people overnight.
"They occupied Ba County, killed the county guard, robbed the grain, everyone got the grain and was grateful to Gu Jin, and everyone listened to his orders. Gu Jin's ambition is getting bigger and bigger, and he threatens to clean up the dirt in the world for the king, but in fact, he wants to divide one side and want to be the emperor himself. They marched along the Yangtze River all the way to the east, and they marched very fast, occupying more than a dozen counties along the Yangtze River in a few months.
"I heard that the reason why they marched so fast was because Gu Jin spent a lot of money to buy off the eunuchs, and the eunuchs withheld the local soldiers, and the emperor got a new concubine, blindly looking for fun, and he didn't know anything about it, which made Gu Jin so arrogant."
Wei Qijun couldn't help but sigh lightly as he spoke, and paused.
"Then what about later, was it because Gu Jin hit Nanjun that you suffered this catastrophe." Ye Yuning couldn't help but be curious.
Wei Qijun slowly spoke: "The county guard saw that the imperial court had not sent troops to help for a long time, and he was afraid that Gu Jin would hit here and kill himself, so he sent a document in the county, listing the top ten crimes of Gu Jin, and wanted to recruit volunteers to defend Nanjun.
"Many villagers in the county have signed up, and I also signed up for the army at that time."
"So you ended up here after the rebels were dispersed?" Ye Yuning couldn't help but sigh.
"No, I fled here because I was persecuted by the county guard."
"Huh? Why is that? ”
Wei Qijun paused, and then said: "I signed up for the army at that time, frankly speaking, my purpose is not simple, I have always wanted to be an official, I think this is a good opportunity, I can exchange military merits for a career."
"At first, the county guard resisted desperately, but then it was the county guard who opened the city gate and let Gu in.
"Because Gu Jin gave a lot of gold and silver treasures to the county guard, and promised the county guard many benefits, the purpose of Yan Qingjun's side was to sweep away the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the county guard was willing to recruit volunteers to protect the safety of the county, it can be seen that the county guard is a good official for the benefit of the people, how dare he kill the county guard, and even he has to listen to the orders of the county guard.
The county guard was fascinated by Gu Jin's gold, silver and jewelry, believed Gu Jin's nonsense, and opened the city gate to let Gu Jin in. He also deduced that the volunteers were recruited by the county lieutenant, and they were also coerced. When Gu Jin heard this, he wanted to kill the county lieutenant.
"I was standing beside the county guard at the time, and when I heard the county guard say such a thing, I couldn't help but scold the county guard and Gu Jin for being embarrassed, a nest of snakes and rats. The county guard was angry and wanted to kill me, so I desperately escaped and hid in the mountains.
"Half a month later, when I came out of the mountains, the city was already a mess. After Gu Jin completely occupied Nanjun, he killed the county guard and looted property in the city. When I arrived at home, everything had been looted, my parents and my brother had been killed, and Gu Jin's people had occupied my house, making fun of my house, and they didn't even bury the bodies of my parents and brothers.
"After I killed those people and buried the bodies of my parents and brother, I left Nanjun and fled all the way to the famine, asking for food all the way to here."
