Chapter 374: Black Dogs Eat People
Renzhou City, Jiangsu Province.
I was happy to walk quietly on the streets, feeling the various pedestrians coming and going around me, and looking at the satisfied smiles on their faces, which made me feel very gratified. Only then will his tired mind be relaxed, and his killing will be meaningful, to protect the people he cherishes, and to make some efforts for this suffering society.
As soon as Xing Xing returned to Xinghua City for more than a month, Yecheng sent an edict to let him crusade against himself, rebelling against the generalissimo, such a big name, so that Gao often couldn't help laughing. Although he knew that even if he ignored Gao Wei's order, the latter would not be able to do it, but this would have a huge impact on Gao Changgong's prestige.
For show, the surface work still has to be done well, at least it can make Cushman feel at ease, and the major events in the future will also be a little shackled.
Happy didn't bring an attendant, just walked quietly on the street in ordinary clothes, although the surroundings were very noisy and noisy, but Happy was quiet and peaceful in his heart. However, after walking for a while, his happy brows were twisted.
Not far ahead, there were many passers-by who stopped to watch something, and many of them showed anger and indignation on their faces, and there was a faint sound of fierce quarrels. Anyway, when I had nothing to do, I walked forward curiously when I was happy, after all, I was the master here, and I was the master of the place to solve some civil disputes, and the difficulties of the masses were also a matter of effort.
"Murong Gongzi, please, you have a big ** amount, open your grace!" Before they could get closer, a hoarse and immature voice came from the crowd, and the tone was so helpless and sad.
Although I don't know the specifics yet, I can probably guess that it is the contradiction between the powerful and the poor. Thinking of this, the pace of happiness couldn't help but speed up a little.
"Kai'en? This son is not a Buddha and a Bodhisattva, let alone a charity hall, why should he be gracious? You pariah, you still owe my son a hundred taels of silver, and if you can't pay it in three days, you just wait to go to the yamen to eat the lawsuit! A male duck-like voice sounded, and the arrogance in his tone was quite unpleasant.
Happy was close at this time, and saw the two people who were talking.
The former one was a ragged, yellow-skinned teenager, unkempt, and couldn't tell his real age. Behind him lay a withered man, dying, and apparently terminally ill.
The young man was kneeling on the ground at this time, looking pleading at the richly dressed noble man in front of him, his eyes from time to time looking at an old, torn clay bowl in his hand, his eyes full of fire and longing. Not far away, I was happy to see clearly that there were one or two pieces of broken silver and a dozen copper coins in the pottery bowl.
"Murong Gongzi, you are doing well, as long as you stay and get money, let my father cure the disease, I will definitely repay your kindness as a cow and a horse!"
The young man saw that the noble son looked mocking and disdainful, but there was not much resistance on his face, and the expression on his face became more and more sad. He pleaded as he respectfully kowtowed, his forehead grabbing the ground, making a muffled "bang-bang" sound. Although the voice was not loud, it was like a hammer smashing into everyone's hearts, making people feel depressed and heavy.
"Just your dead ghost, you are not afraid of polluting the place of this son when you are a cow and a horse!" Murong Gongzi took care of the money and silver in the pottery bowl into his arms, and then sneered: "What are you doing with that cheap old man still alive?" Wouldn't it be better to die, once you are gone, it won't drag you down! Ha ha! As he spoke, he casually threw the pottery bowl in his hand on the ground and smashed it with a "pop".
The shattering of the pottery bowl made the young man feel a burst of despair and anger, and he wanted to tear the white boy to pieces desperately, but when he saw his father lying unconscious next to him, the anger in his heart was suppressed.
The young man grabbed Murong Gongzi's leg and begged loudly: "Murong Gongzi, please, as long as you save my father, I will let you deal with it!" As he spoke, the young man kowtowed again, and his already blue forehead broke and bled in a few strokes. No one looked sideways, and their eyes flashed with anger, but no one dared to come out and accuse them.
Murong Gongzi looked at the bloodied young man indifferently, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth was a little crueler than the harsh winter. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said jokingly: "Are you really willing to give everything for you?" ”
"Yes, I do! As long as Childe saves my father, I'm willing to do anything! The boy suddenly grasped the straw that saved his life, and he was so excited that he was incoherent.
"That's what you said, don't regret it then!" Murong Gongzi said, pulling his legs out of the young man's arms, looking at the dust on the hem of his clothes, a look of anger and disgust flashed on his face.
"No repentance, no repentance!" The young man was dripping with gratitude, and reassured in a loud voice.
"Ah Da, go and pull the big black!" Murong Gongzi gave an order without looking back, and a stout man behind him who was dressed as a family member immediately agreed, and rushed out of the crowd with his feet outstretched.
"I don't know what Murong Gongzi wants the villain to do?" The young man didn't get up and looked at Murong Gongzi flatteringly.
"You'll find out later!" Murong Gongzi smiled inscrutablely, and then threw the money and silver that he had just put in his arms in front of the young man and said, "Take it!" ”
"Thank you, thank you!" The young man thanked him while picking up the money, but his tone was heartfelt and sincere.
Looking at the young man's cowardly and humble appearance, he was happy and sad for a while. The reason why he has the desire to dominate the world is because he is accustomed to seeing the injustice and darkness in the world, and hopes that he can use his own hands to support a blue sky, protect a pure land, and make the world less strife and more just. However, now that the great cause has not been accomplished, there is still this kind of oppression under his own rule, which makes Happy have an unprecedented sense of failure.
Through talking to the people around him, he probably knew the cause of the incident. That Murong Gongzi is the son of one of the largest families in Renzhou City, and his relationship with the yamen is very close, and few people dare to provoke him.
This Murong family used to be just an ordinary rich family, but when they were happy to take refuge in Jiangsu peacefully, they took refuge in time to get a lot of benefits. Moreover, the head of the Murong family is very good at speculation, and has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and has become one of the most powerful families in Renzhou City.
The root cause of the contradiction between the Murong family and the common people is still the thing that the landlord class and the peasant class care about the most -- land. Happiness and goodwill to the common people, this is a well-known thing to the people of Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, and the strategy of annexing the land of the big clans and wealthy families is not to seize it by force, but to take advantage of it.
Although Jinyiwei does not have the power to enforce the law, it is not an ornament after all. It was the landlords who restrained their eating appearance, so as not to be too ugly and let the joy seize the handle.
Intimidation and harassment made the people tired of it, panicked in their hearts, and finally forced to buy and sell. These are just ordinary methods, the most vicious ones such as doing tricks on the seeds of spring ploughing, or secretly attacking people.
The ancients may not know much about genetics and genetics, but it is an indisputable fact that seeds with full grains can grow good crops. This gave some people with ulterior motives the opportunity to sell the two kinds of fried ones to the peasants, so that they would not receive any harvest. In order to make a living, the peasants had to sell their land, and the result could only be a vicious circle, getting poorer and poorer.
Let's talk about life attacks, most of the rich families are thugs, attacking an honest person in the dark night, one by one. If you want to treat your family, you have no other way but to borrow money from the landlord and sell your land.
No matter what kind of approach, the outcome is the same, losing the land, the peasants lose the capital to survive. Even in the happy territory, the industry has been relatively developed, but after all, it is impossible to have industry for the whole people, and most people still have to go to farming.
The boy's family had 10 acres of good paddy fields, and the rice seedlings grew happily, but they were destroyed overnight 10 days ago. In order to save his father, the young man had to sell his land, but the Murong family kept the price extremely low, and the young man had to buy the land even if he was unwilling in his heart. Now he has not only lost his land, but also owes debts, and his father's illness has not improved, so he can only live on the streets, begging along the streets.
Thinking of these contradictions that appeared under the rule, his happy brows couldn't help frowning deeply, his heart was heavy, and his face couldn't help but be gloomy.
"Woohoo!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a dog barking in the distance, and then I saw a commotion in the crowd, but it was the previous family named Ah Da who led a big black dog and galloped over. The black dog was very strong, like a calf, with eyes the size of a brass bell, and sharp teeth that shone coldly.
The appearance of this big dog suddenly shocked everyone, and the crowd couldn't help but disperse, but their hearts were even more strange, I don't know what Murong Gongzi meant by bringing a dog.
Seeing the big dog approaching him, the young man couldn't help but change color, his body huddled together, and he kept shivering, and his eyes were full of horror.
"Big black, good, get down!" Looking at the young man's frightened appearance, Murong Gongzi smiled proudly and gently shouted at the black dog. The black dog suddenly rushed forward with its tail wagging, sticking to Murong Gongzi's thigh affectionately, and the scarlet tongue in the giant kiss kept licking Murong Gongzi's palm, and the smelly hala was left all over the ground.
Murong Gongzi teased Da Hei for a while, then turned his head and looked at the young man playfully and said, "Boy, since this Gongzi gave you money, you should also fulfill your promise!" ”
"What?"
"There are many servants in this son's family, and there is no shortage of you! But you can't spend this body in vain, so why don't you give Da Hei lunch, I believe it will like it very much! Right, Daikoku? Murong Gongzi said softly while rubbing the black fur on Da Hei's body.
"Wow!" Dahei suddenly howled with joy, and his fierce eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
"Hiss-" Everyone couldn't help but take a big breath, and there was a burst of creepy, and the timid couldn't help but take two steps back. Let the dog eat people, or live people, such a vicious and cruel method is really outrageous.
"Murong Gongzi, you, you—" The young man's face was incredulous, and his whole body trembled like chaff. For the sake of his father, he can not be afraid of death, but being bitten alive by a dog can't help but move him.
"What? Do you want to go back? Murong Gongzi suddenly stretched out his voice, "Father's debt is repaid by his son, and it is justified!" If this son sues the yamen, you and your dead ghost father are afraid that they will go to the guillotine! ”
