Chapter 136: Advancing and Retreating Together (3000 words)
However, tomb robbers have been in an endless stream since ancient times, and the family culture of the Han Dynasty was to die as if you were alive. In the context of ruling the world with filial piety, people have to follow this principle, otherwise they will be gossiped by their neighbors and accused of unfilial piety.
This is just like people getting married nowadays and receiving a bride price, if you spend 70,000 or 80,000 yuan on marriage, then my daughter can't lose face, she will get more than 100,000 bride price, and her daughters can get more than 100,000 yuan when they look like that, so why do my daughters have such good conditions to get more than 200,000?
Once you take less than others, a group of aunts and aunts will gossip on the side: "Is there something wrong with the daughter of the xxx family?" ”
"Wouldn't it? I think other people's daughters are good, with hands and feet. ”
"Why do you take so little as a bride price? Could it be the inner ......"
The rumors are forcing people not to face the reality, and no one has too much money to be hot.
The Chinese are the best face country, and Emperor Sui Zhao worked for ten miles to tie decorative trees with silk rolls to show the wealth and strength of the Sui Dynasty. The Qing rulers strictly forbade foreigners to enter the interior, allowing them to take official routes and escort them with the most elite troops. The almost twists and turns still gave foreigners a glimpse of the serious internal corruption of the Qing Dynasty.
In the diary of the foreign envoy, we can see the situation at that time: when our ship passed through the Grand Canal, the people on both sides of the river watched numbly, but they were too frightened to approach this huge ship that was spitting smoke and roaring like a monster, and did not even want to be pulled on the back of a slender man. Most of them were ragged and glazed. The crew threw a sick pig off the boat, causing the people to go down to the river to rob them frantically. When we arrived in Beijing, most of the children of the Eight Banners nobles were glamorous, but they all liked to carry bird cages and fight crickets, and most of them were skinny, because smoking big cigarettes was the fashion of noble children. Oh yes, and their army, it's hard to imagine, an ancient country where gunpowder was invented, and they still have bows and arrows, and backward weapons like spears and swords, and the standing ranks are not neatly arranged, and most of them are giggling there, as if they are not the army but the idle members of society.
The topic is far away.
Therefore, there was a tomb of the princes of the Han Dynasty, such as the tomb of King Liang, a toilet was also built in it, and the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was even taller, and historical records record that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used one-third of the total tax of the country as the cost of building a mausoleum and collecting burial items. The "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" also records in detail the scene when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was buried: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent him to death with a jade box of pearls, which was shaped like armor and connected with gold threads. "In the Zi Palace, Emperor Wu has cicada jade in his mouth and is wearing a golden jade box." The box is carved for the image of the dragon luan phoenix turtle lin, and the world is called the dragon jade box.
We can also see this point from the tomb of the Marquis of Haihuang in later generations, the mountain of gold cakes was buried in the ground with his master, and the people of later generations were all surprised by the amount of gold in circulation in the Han Dynasty, and fiercely refuted the claim that "gold" was brass.
After digging up the tombs, the old beggar and the ox gold dug out some gold and silver, polished off the marks, bought enough firewood for a winter's heating, and invited a doctor to come and treat them.
In winter, the weather is cold and freezing, and you may be able to take the opportunity to go to the tomb to touch the gold, but after spring comes, everything recovers, and Luoyang has a night ban, which may be useless for high-ranking officials and nobles, and for people like them who live at the bottom of society, they are basically waiting to die if they are caught.
In desperation, in order to feed a group of half-grown children who can eat poor old men, the old beggar had to hit the idea of Hu merchants and foreign businessmen who came in and out of the prosperous Luoyang every day.
Mi Zhen finally woke up, seeing that she was tied to the pillar and couldn't break free, and her mouth was still stuffed with her handkerchief, Mi Zhen sobbed silently and shed tears: "Father, big brother, where are you, I'm so scared, come and save me......"
Mi Zhen sobbed for a while, looked around, this seemed to be a temple, Mi Zhen was tied to the back of the broken idol in the center, and the temple seemed to be empty. Mi Zhen finally calmed down, and she began to try to struggle to grind the straw rope in her hand.
At this time, the sound of the broken door outside the temple being opened, and the sound of hurried and kicking footsteps getting closer and closer, Mi Zhen struggled in horror while looking outside.
As the lame beggar drew nearer, he looked a little angry.
After seeing Mi Zhen wake up, the beggar smiled hideously, walked over and pulled off the handkerchief in Mi Zhen's mouth, grabbed Mi Zhen's hair with one hand, and put a rusty knife next to Mi Zhen's throat in the other hand and said viciously: "The eldest lady of the Mi family!" Wowhaha! I didn't expect to catch a huge rich man casually, and there are people looking for and inquiring about you everywhere on the street, but I'm not afraid, I only have one bad life, I just need money! Miss, how much can you give me? ”
Mi Zhen's painful face crossed tears again, the worst situation is to encounter such a desperate bandit, because they have no fear, and no one knows what crazy things they will do.
Mi Zhen's trembling mouth was glutinous, and she didn't know what she was talking about.
The beggar listened attentively, but at this time, he did not know that the outside of the ruined temple had been surrounded layer by layer. Luoyang Ling personally nodded and served diligently beside Liu Wei.
Nearby shops and residents were called in to identify the beggars as living here, and one of them had just entered.
Luoyang Ling served diligently, but his heart was full of bitterness, Luoyang might throw a brick on the city wall, and it would hit a noble child. The intricate relationships and the gathering of bigwigs make Luoyang Ling one of the most difficult officials in the world.
Luoyang Ling heard that there was a kidnapping incident in broad daylight under his rule, and the Mi family, one of the four giant businessmen, was kidnapped, and the Mi family didn't know how, and they got through the relationship between His Royal Highness the current prince, which made Luoyang Ling's legs and stomachs soften.
Luoyang Ling hurriedly used all the strength he could to assist in investigating the matter, but was told that there was no need, send your servants to maintain order.
"Your Highness, it has been confirmed that at least one murderer is inside, should you go in and arrest him now!" The guards reported.
Liu Wei nodded: "Arrest immediately, I only have one request, don't hurt the hostages, and the rest of the people who hurt the hostages will be killed!" ”
"No!"
Liu Wei's guards didn't know where to get the siege wood, and they slammed into the dilapidated gate directly! The guards of the Mi family were the first to rush into the temple, shouting in their mouths: "Let go of the hostages, spare you from death!" ”
Mi Cheng has already offered a reward of a thousand gold, if anyone can save his daughter, he is willing to reward a thousand gold to that strong man! This time it will make a group of guards rub their hands, a daughter! You can buy hundreds of acres of land directly in your hometown, lie down at home and be a landlord with peace of mind and comfort, no need to fight and kill, and stay away from the swords and swords of the rivers and lakes, which is something that makes these guards extremely eager.
"Coming so soon?" The beggar was shocked.
Cut the rope all at once. snatched Mi Zhen in front of him, held her with a knife, walked to the temple, looked at the group of people in Wuyang, the beggar was not panicked at all, and shouted arrogantly: "Don't come here!" Whoever comes, Miss Mi will go to hell with me, a rotten person! Hahahaha! ”
The guards looked at each other, angry, but they were in the hands of people, and they didn't dare to take a step at the gate of the temple.
"Wreck! Get out of the way, prepare me ten thousand taels of gold, and a carriage, or die!" ”
Mi Zhu walked to the front and looked at his sister's heart trembling, and shouted: "Zhuangshi, as long as you don't hurt my sister, I Mi Zizhong will promise you." ”
When the lame beggar heard the words of the young man in brocade, the tense strings in his heart relaxed, and he smiled: "Okay! The Lord is finally here, and it is also by chance that I tied your sister, as long as you ......"
"Bang!" A loud bang came overhead, and several guards climbed onto the roof of the temple at some point, and at once smashed through the rudimentary waterproof straw mats and some broken tiles on it. Kill the beggars directly!
"You lied to me!" After a moment of distraction, the lame beggar roared angrily, and raised the broken knife in his hand to slash at Mi Zhen!
At this time, Mi Zhen in his arms bit the beggar's hand like a little tiger, biting his hand to death, and being bitten twice a day was also unlucky. But she didn't reach the lame beggar's hand with the knife, and the beggar screamed miserably, and the knife still slashed at Mi Zhen's snow-white and pink neck in an instant!
"Don't!" Mi Zhu shouted.
One of the guards above his head was holding a crossbow in his hand, the shape of this crossbow was a little strange, I saw him quickly press the crossbow and pull the trigger again and again, and the crossbow arrow quickly shot into the lame beggar's hand with the knife, as well as his body!
There is more than one crossbow bolt! Right! As a modern person, Liu Wei has seen the restored Zhuge Repeater! After several repeated experiments and modifications, this weapon was finally made decades earlier! I'm afraid he won't be able to call Zhuge Repeater to change his name in the future.
But the repeater has always been hidden by Liu Wei as one of his hole cards! Just let a few of your personal guards understand and practice using it. Weapons must be tested in actual combat with blood, and the role of the Zhuge crossbow Liu Wei believes that it is not suitable for large-scale battlefields, but for assassination and surprise attacks of small troops, and today, Liu Wei feels that it is a good time to take it out for testing.
......The lame beggar's knife fell to the ground, and the man fell limply.
Looking at the steady stream of people rushing in and the knife hanging around his neck, the lame beggar suffered severe pain, and his heart was even more dead: "It's over, it's over, it's all over...... Regret shouldn't keep admonishing......"
On the other end, the little beggar dog ran back to Yizhuang in a hurry after hitting the water. After climbing into the dog hole, the runway room shouted urgently: "Oh no, no, I see that there are many people looking for that girl everywhere on the street, and the people on the street say that she is the eldest lady of the Xuzhou Mi family who buys salt." There were also a large number of people with knives and guns who went in the direction of the temple! ”
The old beggar slapped his thigh: "Oh no! We have to leave Luoyang as soon as possible, otherwise we will inevitably burn ourselves! ”
"What about him?" Niu Jin asked.
"Alas, it's not death, I'm afraid it's not much better than death."
Sorry, it's the winter solstice today, and the update is a little late.
