The grief brought to Donghai City by the death of Taishou was not comparable to the death of Lao Zhang and the eldest lady, and many ordinary people spontaneously came to the Taishou Mansion to wear linen and filial piety, with a face full of sorrow, which made people feel sad when they saw it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems to be seen from this that although Lao Wan has done a lot of absurd things to Donghai County, it is not that he has not done good things that have won the hearts of the people, otherwise, these ordinary people would not be so sad that they have gone to the west.

My fate with Lao Zao always seems to be so good-hearted, I just stepped into the gate of the Taishou Mansion with my front foot, and I saw him head-on, and I was immediately taken aback, and asked with concern: "General Lao, why are you so thin, don't overwork, your body is not supported." ”

At this time, Lao Zao lost not just one circle, but two circles, how arbitrary and optimistic the former round and rich General Lao Zao, and how tired and depressed General Lao Zao is now.

Lao Zao was not surprised at all, not happy at all, and said, "Huo Ling, you are here for my brother-in-law's funeral." "My presence no longer seemed to interest him, and he was completely changed, disheartened and discouraged.

I nodded yes, but I didn't know how to comfort him, my dealings with him were far from enough, so I couldn't find his heart.

Lao Zao looked at the direction of the mourning hall behind the house and said, "Go and put incense on the pillar for Taishou first, and then we will go to the side room to talk." ”

After Lao Zao finished speaking, he left silently, and the news that he didn't look back was around the corner of the corridor.

I think back to Lao Zao's family relationship in Donghai City, the relatives seem to have only one sister, the sister married Taishou, Taishou also became his closest relative, and later had a nephew and niece, the family can be said to be happy, the scenery is infinite, and he once became the indispensable general of the Donghai County Levy Army.

It didn't take long for a series of tragic events to happen, which undoubtedly hit him with a great deal of discouragement, discouragement, depression, and malaise.

I went to the mourning hall to put three sticks of incense on the coffin of the Taishou, worshiped three times with great sorrow, and said some words of comfort and condolences to Lao Feng and Lao Qianying, the filial son of the guard, and went out of the mourning hall to find Lao Zao.

The subordinates said that Lao Zao was resting in the room where Mrs. Taishou used to be, so I asked the subordinates to take me there, and Lao Zao really returned to the courtyard where his sister once lived, and the things in the yard did not seem to have moved, and they still remained as they were, very simple, and all the furnishings in the room were just decent, not very precious.

Lao Zao sat at the round table in the room decadently, his eyes did not have any thoughts, looking at the air in front of him nothingly, seeing me coming alone, he suddenly said coldly and strangely: "I know that my brother-in-law's death is not so simple, but I can't do anything." ”

I asked enthusiastically, "Why?" ”

"Even if those bandits can defeat my brother-in-law's personal guards, however, they will not be wiped out, and this is not something that bandits can accomplish." Lao Zao has a little thought, and he has a little emotion when he speaks.

"Who are not bandits?" I asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, no one knows, I can't find out at all," Lao Zao fell into deep self-reproach, "Now that the bandit leaders have been beheaded for public display, they will no longer be able to find out the truth." ”

"The bandit leader has been beheaded, and there are soldiers, they must have witnessed the whole thing." I reminded.

Lao Zao said: "On other people's land, what right do you have to investigate?" ”

The crux of the problem is that my territory, I am in charge, other people's territory, why do you point fingers, so people, don't go to other people's territory to be arrogant, sometimes showing your face is also a capital crime.

I reassured: "I heard that the general has brought back a lot of compensation from Xiangjun, and this is all the general's credit, and others may not be able to get back so much compensation." ”

"People are dead, what's the use of holding these things outside the body," Lao Zao almost bittered, "What my brother-in-law dreams of is to live forever and seek health for decades, but I didn't expect to be ahead of me, my brother-in-law will definitely not be reconciled." ”

I said helplessly, "If the general feels suspicious, why don't you go to the royal capital and ask the Lord to uphold justice and justice?" ”

"The Lord is an incompetent puppet, what justice can he preside over." Lao Zao suddenly shouted.

It turns out that the lord is really an incompetent puppet, and most of the power has been divided among several princes, so instead of asking the lord to uphold justice, it is better to find a few princes.

Donghai County took refuge in Ying Shanhou, but Ying Shanhou was unconscious, his successor is still in the stage of taking over, and he can't take care of these things that shouldn't happen, I'm afraid that he will be closed, and he will go in vain, of course, he still has to go, the key is who goes.

Count the talents of Donghai County, and find that there is no one, this matter is to blame, he has not been to the royal capital for many years to send gifts to the princes, who still remembers the remote and weak Donghai County, I am afraid that it will be forgotten, the fact is the opposite, there are many people who are worried about Donghai County.

In any case, it is also a large county with a vast and far-reaching land, and there are seven counties, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, the soil quality is not good, the food produced is low, and the people who give birth to it are weak in combat.

"Fire Spirit, there is another bad news for you, the royal division of the royal capital fought with the main army of the White Turban Army, suffered defeat, and did not win as we imagined." Lao Zao's divine light suddenly appeared, and it was not hopeless.

"You mean this tumultuous war won't end anytime soon." I said thoughtfully.

Lao Zao didn't answer, the meaning was very clear, I looked at him quietly, and my heart was greatly moved.

Lao Zao suddenly mourned again: "My sister's flesh and blood are only left with my niece, I don't know how she is doing in Wolf Mountain County, since he married Qiao Tianmu of Wolf Mountain County, he is actually thin and unadultly, I am afraid that he will also suffer from the life of suffering, there has always been no good end to political marriage, but my uncle is powerless, it's really sad." ”

I took a long breath, this life is really difficult to explain clearly, but people in fine clothes and jade food are exploited by a hand of power, how can people live to be complete, I think it is definitely not a fasting and chanting Buddha, to be a vegetarian light, away from the hustle and bustle, at least it is the pursuit of food and clothing without worry, and can make the pursuit come true.

I said, "General Lao, Miss Lao, she has her way to go, everything depends on herself, you have to cheer up, you can't be disheartened." ”

Lao Zao shook his head and said: "I'm old, I'm tired, I don't want to fight for power anymore." ”

"People don't live in the world for power or profit, what else can they do for, I'm afraid it's no different from the walking dead." I couldn't help but sigh that on the earth, in a highly free and developed society, people don't know why, let alone in this country that is ruthlessly exploited and suppressed.

"In the end of the struggle for power and profit, relatives are separated, and a lonely person exists in the world, and it is better to live than to die." Lao Zao opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"General Lao, you have a few beautiful ladies and a few well-behaved children, you have to think about them if you don't think about yourself." I reminded.

"I'm thinking about them, so I don't fight anymore." Lao Zao said without scruples. (To be continued.) )
