Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Escape to the Stage
"Is the Han family finally going to be in chaos?" Lu Bu put down the official document in his hand about the recent situation of Si Li and other states, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although he was transferred to the chief secretary and became a civilian official, he could not lead troops to fight, but the handling of official documents everywhere also made Lu Bu more aware of the major events in the world, and his horizons were greatly enhanced.
In recent days, natural disasters have continued to break out in all directions, and the people have almost no food to eat, and the powerful landlords have wantonly purchased land, accepted displaced people as slaves, and exploited them on a large scale. However, the more the people suffered, the more evil officials continued, the heavier the forced labor, the more frequent the phenomenon of buying and selling official positions, and at the extreme, an official position would be changed once every few months, and every official would immediately seize the time to loot and collect money after taking office, resulting in the people's misery.
Bingzhou was originally a barren land, and there were often foreign invasions, no one would buy the officials here, and even if they did, they didn't dare to make any moves under Ding Yuan's nose, so although the world was chaotic, the state was still relatively stable, and several other relatively remote and barren states were in a similar situation.
However, although the state is stable, Ding Yuan is still sad every day. I remember that when the news of the second party disaster reached Bingzhou, Ding Yuan held the paper recording the news with trembling hands, tears gushed out, and he knelt on the ground and shouted to the southeast heartbreakingly: "Holy Lord! Don't be fooled anymore! ”
Then he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Zhang Rang! The old man will eat your flesh and drink your blood! ”
Furious, Ding Yuan threw down the official document, rushed to the barracks to personally order three hundred soldiers, threw away all government affairs, drew his sword out of the city, led his own soldiers to inspect the whole state, and found that there were evil officials and corrupt officials in every place and immediately kidnapped them, put them on prisoners and tied them with ropes, and led the troops to every county in the state within two weeks, and when they returned to Jinyang, almost each of the three hundred sergeants had a reins in their hands, or the three hundred corrupt officials who were corrupt or disregarded for human life were tied with ropes, and a rope strung them all the way to line up, The long one is full of people who were in the fish country a few weeks ago, and it is extremely spectacular.
Ding Yuan was angry all the way, and rarely spoke, until the army marched into Jinyang City, came to the most lively market, gathered the people, three hundred prisoners knelt on the ground, and behind each stood a soldier, his sword unsheathed.
Ding Yuan waved his hand, the sergeant raised his knife and fell, and all the prisoners were beheaded.
Since then, Ding Yuan has become more and more active, patrolling around every day, and one day he is seizing the generals to gather at Lu Bu, compete with each other, and meet friends with martial arts.
"Bastard!"
Everyone stopped, and there was silence.
"Qiang" Ding Yuan drew his sword and threw it on the ground, "When the national disaster is at the head, you and other generals not only train diligently, but also have fun all day long!" ”
He angrily pointed at Lu Bu again: "Forming a party for personal gain, do you want to rebel!"
Zhang Yang hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and after all the good things were said, Ding Yuan only fined everyone a little salary.
It's just that Ding Yuan's impression of Lu Bu is getting worse and worse, and he secretly ordered the generals not to associate with Lu Bu, Zhang Liao Gaoshun ignored it, and the daily interaction was as usual, and Ding Yuan hated.
In Jiezhou, Hedong, the famine for many years has made the people miserable, and the Diao family, which was originally a large family, is a little dilapidated, and almost all the shops under the name of the Diao family are sold, and almost all the industries are left with a big mansion.
Originally, although the Diao family was not like a behemoth like the nobles of the family, it was also rich in clothes, so why did it fall so far in a short period of time?
It turned out that every time there was a famine in Hedong, the head of the Diao family would open a warehouse for disaster relief, and the hungry people in the whole city would rush to receive relief from the Diao family. The Diao family has a big business, and if there are not many famines, it is still no problem to help the people of Xie Liang survive the difficult period.
But there was a second famine, not only the second, but the third and fourth...... There are so many famines that it seems to be endless, and the people who have suffered from the famine seem to be endless, but the Diao family's grain storage is not endless.
There are so many rich families in Hedong, but there is no second family willing to open their grain depots to the hungry people, not only that, taking advantage of the current situation to raise the price of grain, it would rather pile up the grain at home and rot than put it into the market to let the price of grain fall, and the people live or die? I'm making money, and you're telling me that the people are alive or dead?
The people in the family also advised the head of the family to stop caring about these hungry people, and it was enough not to oppress them in turn like the wealthy people, and there was no need to do more for them.
But after hearing this, the head of the Diao family burst into tears: "The same descendants of the Han Dynasty are walking in the same world, how can I bear it?"
The Diao family bought the raised grain prices in the cruel smile of the merchants, and raised the hungry people of Xie Liang in the cold eyes of other wealthy families, and gradually, the Diao family ran out of money and food.
Gradually, some people denounced the head of the Diao family for doing something wrong and leading the family astray.
The head of the Diao family glanced at the man deeply: "No, this is the really right thing, the reason for our decline is not because we have done the most correct thing, but because we are not in line with the world, but this is not the standard for judging right and wrong." ”
No one said anything more.
The Diao family is weakening day by day, and their money is getting less and less, but some things are getting more and more.
……
"Guan Yu!" Diao Xiu'er came to Guan Yu's hut and shouted inside, "Come out and go shopping with me." ”
Guan Yu heard Diao Xiu'er's voice and immediately ran out, wearing an ordinary linen clothes, years of training have cultivated a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face is still so red, and his beard has grown beyond his neck.
As soon as Guan Yu came out, he followed behind Diao Xiu'er, like a guard, without saying a word.
Diao Xiu'er walked happily in front, turning back to chat with Guan Yu from time to time.
"What were you doing in the house just now?"
"Uh...... Didn't you let me read "Spring and Autumn" without me? ”
"Where did you read it?"
"Two years after becoming a prince."
"Why do you read so slowly!"
"Ah, what are you going to look at when you're done reading it now?"
Diao Xiu'er turned around and waved her fist at Guan Yu, and said with a vicious expression: "You still dare to make excuses!" ”
Guan Yu smiled flatteringly.
Diao Xiu'er pretended to be angry and ignored him, and strode forward, Guan Yu still followed very easily.
After a while, Guan Yu asked Diao Xiu'er carefully.
"Miss Xiu'er, isn't the Diao family making ends meet now to relieve the famine, why do you still have money to go shopping?"
Diao Xiu'er glanced at him: "Stupid." Do you have to buy something when you go shopping? ”
"Then what are you doing here?"
"It's shopping!"
"Oh......"
After another moment, Guan Yu spoke carefully.
"Miss Xiu'er, why did you take me with you when you went shopping? I still haven't chopped firewood in the afternoon. ”
"Of course you came out to protect me! How dangerous it is out there now, I have to bring ten or eight bodyguards when I go out with such a beautiful girl! But," after speaking, Diao Xiu'er turned around and patted Guan Yu's shoulder with a smile, "Hehe, you are better than ten or eight!" You're Guan Yu, it's okay to protect me against a few little hooligans. ”
“……”
After another moment.
"Miss Xiu'er, why do you want me to watch "Spring and Autumn"?"
"Forehead ......" Diao Xiuer is a little blind, why did Guan Yu watch "Spring and Autumn"? How to answer this, is Guan Yu still Guan Yu who doesn't watch "Spring and Autumn"? "Well, read more and be educated!"
"But what do I want culture?"
"Oh, let you look at it, why do you ask so much!"
"Oh."
Diao Xiu'er took Guan Yu to walk non-stop on the street......
Two hours later, in a small ruined temple.
Diao Xiu'er packed some belongings and a change of clothes into a package and stuffed them to Guan Yu with a panicked face, and said to him with a trembling voice: "Guan Yu, you take these things, run quickly, don't be caught by the officers and soldiers, and don't come back." In the future, don't call it Changsheng anymore when you wander outside, I'll give you a word, call Yunchang, you must remember it. ”
"And what do you do?" Guan Yu hesitated to accept the package handed over by Diao Xiu'er, and there were still dried blood stains on his hands.
Diao Xiu'er choked up and shook her head: "I'm fine, no one knows that you know me, it's a big deal to stay at home and not come out in the future." ”
Guan Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Diao Xiu'er pushed him out of the temple gate.
"Let's go! If you don't leave, the officers and soldiers will chase after you, do you want to burden me! ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he hurriedly put the package on his back and ran, not even daring to turn his head, so he didn't see the moment he turned around, Diao Xiu'er's face was full of tears.
Two hours ago, Diao Xiuer took Guan Yu shopping, and found that the hairpin on her head was missing halfway, and after thinking about it, it should have fallen on the jewelry shop on the previous street, so Diao Xiuer asked Guan Yu to find it the same way and continued to move forward.
When Guan Yu took the hairpin and came back, he found that there were just a few local Haoqiang families who tried to tease Diao Xiu'er, and immediately rushed up with three punches and two kicks to knock them to the ground, just as Guan Yu was about to leave with Diao Xiu'er, a gentleman actually got up and pulled out a dagger and pounced on Guan Yu, Guan Yu was anxious to insert the hairpin into the man's neck, and the rest of the gentlemen were immediately frightened to scatter, and reported to the government and the family, and took people around to arrest Guan Yu, so there was the above scene......
Although she didn't know where Guan Yu went, Diao Xiu'er knew that sooner or later, there would be nowhere in Shenzhou where Guan Yu's name and where he was.
Sooner or later, we will meet again......
