Chapter 18: The Four Years of Construction Are Not Peaceful (3)
In the book, it is implied that among the five heroes in Woniu Village, Zhang Chengsi's life is the most bitter. In the past, he was an elder brother, and the years were not good, and the days of Lele's trouser belt were over.
Now that I have married a wife, my wife is hungry, and she doesn't know how to let her husband at the dinner table.
When the food is served, it is often the head buried. Zhang Chengsi didn't eat two bites, and the food on the table was gone.
Zhang Chengsi had a hard time.
Before marrying his wife, he had wanted to go up to the mountain to be the king of the mountain more than once, and after marrying his relatives, he never thought about it again and entered the Tao.
Of the five, he was the first to enter the Tao.
On this day, the officials and soldiers came to the village again, and in those years, the common people were afraid when they saw the officers and soldiers, but these five people were not afraid. On the contrary, the words are tougher than the other.
The officials and soldiers hated Woniu Village, and deliberately said cruel things to the front during the meal, and the words were also ugly, and then asked for bribes from Woniu Village.
At this moment, Zhang Chengsi, Deng Chang, Liu Shu, and the three brothers were talking under the locust tree at the entrance of the village at this moment, and the brothers Zhang Chengde and Zhang Chengen came to them and told them that the officers and soldiers would not leave.
Deng Changyan said that he had been a soldier, and the three officers and soldiers wanted to extort money from the villagers.
The five of them pinched the tooth flower seed.
At this moment, the chief of the village knocked on the door and asked the villagers to gather and come under the tree.
Seeing the five people, "Little buddies are still sitting here?" Something big happened in the village. ”
Zhang Chengsi, "What big things can we do in our village?" ”
"The officers and soldiers from the village are staying in the village and not leaving, even if we want to bribe, the chief is going door-to-door in the village."
"Bribery? When the year is bad, people almost starve to death, how can there be money for them? ”
"They are all lackeys of the court, since they have opened their mouths, why are they embarrassed not to give it?" ”
"I'm going to give it to you, I don't have any money."
"yes, what if you don't give it to them?"
The chief security officer is a middle-aged man in his forties, "It's enough for the family to pay a little, don't bribe them, these three dogs go back to the court, talk nonsense with the dog officials, and deduct what hat our village has." I'm afraid we'll all be guilty of a joint sin by then. ”
Zhang Chengsi called the chief security officer over, "You come here." ”
Bao Chang passed.
"Serial sin? I'm not happy to be in prison. Zhang Chengsi turned the chief around and kicked the chief in the ass, "You fucking know a fart." ”
The chief of the security guard was kicked by the foot, "As far as you are angry, I am afraid that one will be more bearish than the other when you encounter things, and you should not hide when you have the ability." ”
Zhang Chengsi pretended to raise his fist.
The chief of the body walks.
Brother five.
Zhang Chengsi, "The court deceives people too much. ”
The five laughed.
Zhang Chengsi asked Zhang Chengde, "Brother, the imperial court collected a poll tax last year, and a shelf tax this year. Why are there so many taxes in the court? ”
Zhang Chengde, "The intershelf tax is an order issued by Emperor Tang Muzong, it is not as good as the poll tax, it is a temporary tax, and it will be collected together with our agricultural tax in the future." ”
Deng Chang, "The emperor collects the poll tax, and now he collects the tax on the house, what happened to the emperor?" How could the emperor think of such taxes? Didn't the emperor have a big official around him who knew the poverty of the people? Why don't they persuade? What are the emperors and the officials in the court thinking about every day? ”
"What do you think? How do you want to make damage, how do you want to make money, what do you want! How do they want to get oil and water from the common people for them to have fun with their cubs, aren't they? Zhang Chengsi said to Zhang Chengde.
Deng Chang, "As far as I know, there are a few good officials in the court who ask for their lives for the people, and they are famous, honest as water, and bright as a high mirror. There's them, and they shouldn't. ”
Zhang Chengsi, "The world is the emperor's world, the court is the emperor's court, and these bullshit taxes are probably the emperor's meaning." The good officials you said didn't know where they had died for a long time. ”
Deng Chang, "As far as I know, there are several people inside and outside the court who have a great reputation, and they are good people. It is impossible for them not to know about the tax levied by the imperial court, and it is impossible for them to ignore it. ”
Zhang Chengde is the eldest of the five, and he doesn't speak when it's easy, "Leave your words to deceive the ghost!" Poll tax, shelf tax, confiscated by the imperial court? The good officials you said couldn't be much better! The emperor was unkind and treated the people like pigs and dogs. In the eyes of the emperor and the imperial court, the common people beat when they wanted, scolded when they wanted, killed when they wanted to kill, and bullied when they wanted to bully. It is conceivable that Zhang Chengde really hates the imperial court.
Several people were silent.
There was a long silence.
Liu Sheng, "Brothers, you say, let's pass it on by word of mouth, is the story of the heroes and heroes in the story true?" ”
"Of course it's true." Zhang Chengsi.
Liu Sheng, "The heroes and heroes in the story are all cornered, the court is dark, they are opposed, and now, it is the story of the heroes and heroes of ancient times." ”
Deng Chang heard that there was something wrong in the words of the four people, and he wanted to joke, "Brother Liu Yan, which dynasty are you talking about heroes?" ”
Liu Sheng, "There are stories of heroes and heroes in all dynasties, but the court is so dark that they don't let people say it." For example, Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and the twenty-four heroes of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. All of them are heroes of the Wagang Army. ”
Deng Chang, "Hmph." ”
The two attacked each other here, Zhang Chengen suddenly spoke, his words were ambiguous, and he didn't know who scolded them, "The heroes in the book are not necessarily heroes?" Punching sex! ”
Liu Shule, "Our brother's words are interesting, heroes and heroes are a long time ago, and if you really want to be the king of the mountain, I'm afraid no one will be reluctant." ”
Zhang Chengde, "Brother Liu is right, it's just that this day has to be lived, the meal has to be eaten, today there is a poll tax, tomorrow there is a shelf tax, the day after tomorrow is a wife and a baby tax, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers, that is, the emperor's eyes are all money." Who will control our people? The court is a bully! ”
Zhang Chengsi, "Damn, Lao Tzu compares himself to a hero every day, and now he is bullied by the court." ”
The four brothers, all of them have red eyes, and they look scary.
Zhang Chengde to Deng Chang, only Deng Chang is not a relative of the five brothers.
Zhang Chengde, "Brother Deng, you say, can the heroes and heroes in the story be true?" ”
"It should be true."
Zhang Chengde, "I know that this world is not fair, and in the eyes of some people, we are just jokes. Some people are born with touting, and some people are born with good lives. They look down on us. But I want to do something, I want to tell them that people are people, too. I want to tell them that even if I can't kill them, I want to teach them a lesson. Brother Deng, you say, are we heroes doing this? ”
Deng Chang, "Do you want to be opposed?" ”
Zhang Chengde's face was even more unkind, so anyone who saw it could be startled, "If there is no hero in this world, I will be a hero." A few of the court's dogs ask us for bribes, and if they get what they want, they will be even more unscrupulous. In their eyes, we ordinary people are better bullied. ”
Zhang Chengde asked the other brothers again, "If you were to emulate the heroes of ancient times today, would you do it?" ”
Liu Sheng, "If the emperor is unkind, he will allow me to be unjust." ”
Zhang Chengsi, "Lao Tzu has had enough of these days. ”
Zhang Chengen, "There is no one in this world who can be very good B, and forever good B." ”
Brother five and four expressed their position.
Speaking made Deng Chang's heart furious.
He was an outsider, and everyone in the village knew that he had been a soldier in the past, and no one bullied him.
But there will be a loss.
Since getting acquainted with Zhang Chengde's buddies, the five brothers have shaken their heads and buttocks together, shouting and shouting every day, and their lives are also good.
How do you know that these four people are really going to be angry.
