Hearing Chen Guang ask, the little beggar suddenly started crying, Chen Guangke was the most annoying child crying, especially now that he has no experience in coaxing beggars, he suddenly seemed at a loss, but Wu Xin came over and said a few words to the little beggar, and the little beggar immediately stopped crying. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Chen Guang asked, "Why are you so clever when you speak?" Wu Xin said with a smile: "Second master forgot, I only experienced such a thing the year before last, which can be regarded as comparing my heart to my heart." ”

Hearing this, Chen Guang couldn't help but sigh, and then smiled bitterly, and the little beggar said, "I can see that you two are good people." ”

Chen Guang remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, and if it was past the meal, he would only be able to eat the leftovers, so he said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to something delicious, let's go to the restaurant." ”

The little beggar hesitated and said, "Will they let me in?" ”

Chen Guang suddenly took the little beggar's hand and said with a smile: "I invited you to dinner, I paid for it, and you didn't ask for it, why didn't they let you in?" They don't do business anymore. ”

The little beggar was persuaded, so the three of them found a small restaurant nearby, and were about to go in, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper, who said to the little beggar: "Go, go, busy, if you want to eat, you have to go elsewhere, don't disturb Lao Tzu's business." ”

Yo ho, a part-time worker calls himself Lao Tzu? Chen Guang didn't like to listen to it, he stepped forward and said, "We are here to eat, not to ask for food." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Chen Guang in surprise, he really couldn't understand that this person with such a huge difference in dress was actually a gang.

"You're really in this together."

Chen Guang said unhappily: "There is a lot of money for your meal, let us not let us, don't let us eat elsewhere." ”

"Let's, let's. Please. "Although the shopkeeper was dissatisfied with a beggar mixed in, but people came to eat seriously, he didn't dare to offend people and leave, otherwise he would have to be scolded to death by the master.

Although it was an ordinary small restaurant, when this little beggar came in, he was looking around, full of curiosity. And many of the diners in the lobby are looking this way.

"Wow, what did you do with the shopkeeper, the beggars let in, they stinked to death."

"Yes, I went out and went out, and I was disturbed by my interest in eating."

The little beggar looked at Chen Guang, looking very aggrieved, and he said in a low voice: "I'd better go out, I'll wait for you outside." ”

"What are you going out for? We're going to eat here today. Little Er, give me a private room. ”

The shopkeeper was worried and didn't know what to do, and when he heard that Chen Guang wanted a private room, he suddenly became happy and said, "Okay." ”

He led Chen Guang and the others into the private room on the second floor, and lit incense outside the private room, which made the smell not so big, and the other diners quieted down.

After entering the private room, Chen Guang pulled the little beggar to sit down and said, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"I want to eat, rice, and wowotou." The little beggar said. Obviously, just now he was only half a nest, and he was not full at all.

"It's not enough to just eat, you have to eat vegetables." Chen Guang said.

He asked the shopkeeper to serve a few meat dishes and a few vegetarian dishes, plus a big bowl of white rice, and after a while, a table was set.

"Eat."

When the little beggar saw this table, his eyes lit up, and he began to gobble it up, regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one.

"Eat slowly, no one will rob you."

The little beggar's guard at this time was completely relaxed, and he ate a meal like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and he ate more than half of the four or five dishes, and then stopped.

"It's delicious, the best meal I've ever had. It would be nice if my father and mother could eat it once, but unfortunately they are all dead. The little beggar was originally very happy, but when he said about his father, his eyes immediately dimmed.

It's really strange and pitiful to die of my parents at such a young age, Chen Guang asked, "Died of hunger or disease?" "Obviously, it can't be old age.

The little beggar shook his head and said, "No, he was killed by the dog official Peng Cheng." ”

Peng Cheng? As soon as Chen Guang heard this name, he immediately felt a little familiar, as if he had heard this name somewhere, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that when he was in the court last time, a minister said that this guy was the county guard of Wuyuan County.

Hey, aren't we in Wuyuan County right now? Aren't we here to investigate the case? I didn't expect to get in touch with this little beggar, and it really took no effort to get through the iron shoes and nowhere to find it.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Guang suddenly felt that this meal was not in vain.

As soon as the conversation box opened, the little beggar seemed to be caught up in his own memories, and his eyes began to blur.

"It snowed heavily the winter before last, and last year's crop harvest was not good, and our family harvested little grain, and we couldn't afford to pay taxes and grain.

Chen Guang was surprised and said, "There is such a thing? "Taking people to deduct taxes is something I've never seen or heard of." And then? ”

"Then they came to arrest people, my father ran away, my mother was caught by them, I was scared at that time, so I chased after me, my mother and many other people were arrested, and many people in the village were crying. The officers and soldiers who came to arrest people said that they wanted to sell my mother to the Qinglou, and when my mother heard this, she crashed into a stone on the side of the road while the officers and soldiers were not paying attention, and she was killed. Later, my father found out, so he went to the officers and soldiers to fight hard, and he was also hacked to death with a knife. ”

Chen Guang was shocked, this death is true, alas, pitiful. Is it just because you can't pay your taxes? When I was in the capital before, I vaguely remembered that in order to consolidate his rule, Chen Ang was particularly gracious, collecting ten catties of grain and paying one catty of tax for every ten taxes, which should not be much in feudal society, and those who can't pay taxes with grain can also serve hard labor, so they won't arrest people.

"And how much tax do you have to pay?" Chen Guang asked.

"If you collect a hundred catties of grain, you have to pay a tax of eighty catties." The little beggar said.

"What? Eighty? Chen Guang almost couldn't help shouting, how much is this, eight times the government's taxes! The state treasury only received 10 percent of the grain grown by the peasants, and 70 percent of it was actually embezzled by these officials in the middle!

Chen Guang listened with a little blood and anger.

The little beggar said, "Yes, we are growing a year's worth of food, and we can't eat enough to pay our taxes, and those rich people who are officials don't have to work in the fields, and they can't eat enough white rice, alas......"

With this sigh, Chen Guang seemed to hear the helplessness after going through the vicissitudes of the mulberry field.

What kind of experience can make a child who is only a few years old sigh like this?

"These officials are so hateful that they should all be arrested and replaced with good officials. By the way, do you have good officials here? Not all officials are like this. Chen Guang asked.

The little beggar thought for a moment and said, "There is one." ”

"One? Who? (To be continued.) )
