The story of Zhuang Yuanlang crashing and dying in the Jinluan Palace still came out of the palace. Students all over the world were panicked and discarded the Four Books and Five Classics, and even demolished private schools and schools. Students all over the world are discouraged and wander all day long, and they have no place to go.

However, a few days later, the imperial court issued another edict, which was expelled to various states and counties, "Recently, there have been bandits in all states and counties. Causing the people to be miserable, our emperor Shengming, ordered the collection of civil ironware, and those who resisted, those who refused to pay were guilty of the thieves! The Sixteenth Year of Dashen"

"I said Mr. Mo, since Prince Xuan values you so much, why don't you live in the palace with him and enjoy the blessings, why bother to suffer with us. You are still used to it during this time" Zhao Yigui said to Mo Zhai while hoeing the vegetable garden, he is a flat-headed commoner, and he dreams of being able to live in the palace, but he really can't figure out why Mo Zhai would refuse to declare the prince.

"Brother Zhao, don't ask. Didn't I tell you? I don't like it. The powerful are good, but my heart is not in this place. Mo Zhai shook his head, he had talked to Zhao Yigui many times, he naturally knew what Zhao Yigui thought in his heart, ordinary people can rely on the mountain of the prince, and they will laugh in their dreams.

"Hehe, Mr. Mo, I don't understand the thoughts of your scholars, I'm just a common man, I just want to live a good life." Zhao Yigui scratched his ears and cheeks, "I'll go and see if my father's rice is cooked, no, it's noon." ”

Zhao Yigui walked home from the vegetable garden, thinking about Mo Zhai's thoughts, he really couldn't figure out Mo Zhai's thoughts, but he heard his father's voice from a distance before he reached the door of the house. He hurriedly ran home and saw several officers and soldiers rummaging around his house.

"What are you doing, why are you smashing our house" Zhao Yigui asked loudly.

Seeing someone coming back, several officers and soldiers temporarily stopped what they were doing, only to see the leader's loud voice: "Get out, don't you see the government doing business, I was ordered by the imperial court to collect all the iron tools of the people, don't bother us to run errands, we are busy, and there are still many homes that we haven't got." ”

"The imperial court ordered, why did the imperial court confiscate our iron tools, and after collecting our iron tools, how would we live." Zhao Yigui asked the leader.

"I said that you have nothing to say, how can you and other untouchables speculate on the affairs of the court, get out of the way, you are disturbing us on an errand and are guilty of the same crime as the bandits." The leading officers and soldiers were dissatisfied with Zhao Yigui, and felt that people like him dared to obstruct them from doing errands, "You guys go and smash that pot for me and take it away." And those hoes and stuff, as long as it's iron, I'll take it all."

Zhao Lao has been begging the officers and soldiers, how can he cook without a pot, but just about to cook, a group of officers and soldiers came to confiscate all the iron weapons. Zhao Yigui was unwilling, didn't he force them to death, and ran forward to stop them.

Several officers and soldiers saw that Zhao Yigui dared to stop him, so they went to arrest Zhao Yigui together, Zhao Yigui is strong and strong, naturally he will not be arrested, how can he cook without a pot, at this time he just wants to stay in the pot to live. also collided with the officers and soldiers.

This completely angered these officers and soldiers, and the leader pointed at Zhao Yigui and shouted, "This person is a thief, he is a thief, kill him for me, and correct the law on the spot." ”

The leader said that he was a bandit, and the remaining few soldiers naturally would not let him go, not to mention the collision with each other just now, and they also suffered a loss. They oppress the people every day, and where will the officials who show off their martial arts all day long be Zhao Yigui's opponent. He drew his saber and slashed it directly. Zhao Yigui fell in a pool of blood.

Zhao Lao saw that his son was hacked to death by the officers and soldiers, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he picked up the bench and smashed it at the leading officers and soldiers, and the blood flowed, after all, it was an old man, not a blunt weapon after all. The leader was furious, and the saber fell on Zhao Lao with a knife. Dead, all dead, Zhao Lao and his son died, died under the swords of officers and soldiers, died under the so-called crime of bandits.

This kind of thing is constantly happening all over the country. Tragedy is unfolding one after another.

Mo Zhai saw that Zhao Yigui had not returned for a long time, so he rushed back, and found that Zhao Yigui and Zhao Lao had died tragically at home, and he couldn't imagine that Zhao Yigui, who had just spoken to him, died tragically. Unexpectedly, the kind old Zhao died tragically. He froze until someone woke him up.

The person who came was Steward Liu of Xuanwang's Mansion and several family members of Xuanwang's Mansion, "This, this, Mr. Mo, what happened here, why are they all dead." ”

Mo Zhai looked at Steward Liu and took a deep breath, "I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, I just came back and that's it." ”

Steward Liu persuaded Mo Zhai, "Mr. Mo's mourning, we came to see you on the order of Prince Xuan, but I didn't expect your brother to suffer this catastrophe, we were late" Steward Liu ordered a few family members to help Mo Zhai sort out the burial together, and sent a family member to notify Prince Xuan.

Several people didn't say anything, and the family members silently tidied up the sparse home that had been smashed by the officers and soldiers, and Steward Liu watched Mo Zhai silently wipe the blood on Zhao Yigui and Zhao Lao over and over again. looked at Zhao Yigui and Zhao Lao silently, looking at this dilapidated home.

Another group of people came, and the leader was Prince Xuan. As soon as Prince Xuan entered the door, he saw Mo Zhai, "Mr. Mo, please mourn"

Mo Zhai didn't expect that Prince Xuan would be able to come in person, "Prince Xuan has a heart"

"Mr. Mo, do you know why they died tragically?" asked Mo Zhai.

"I don't know what Lu Dao is for," Mo Zhai replied to Prince Xuan with an expressionless face.

"Hey, Mr. Mo, it's not just your brother's family who suffered this catastrophe, as far as I know, no less than twenty families have been killed by officers and soldiers," the prince said bitterly.

"Officers and soldiers?" Mo Zhai stood up and looked at the prince, he wanted to know what Lu Dao had to do with the officers and soldiers.

"Mr. Mo, don't you still know what to do, that dog thief Li Zhenshan is greedy for the emperor, fabricating bandits to run rampant, and wants to confiscate all the iron weapons used by the people to make weapons. Even Zhuang Yuanlang failed to stop this matter, and crashed to death on the pillar of the Jinluan Palace" Prince Xuan's expression was sad, he was really heartbroken. He is a good prince, he wants the people to live a good life, but he has been victimized by traitors again and again.

Mo Zhai listened to Prince Xuan's words and didn't say anything for a long time. just picked up Zhao Yigui and walked to the wasteland outside. With the help of Prince Xuan, the bodies of Zhao Lao and Zhao Yigui were buried.

"Mr. Mo, you can go back to the house with me, now that your brother has also gone, you have nowhere to go alone. And now that the people who have been made by Prime Minister Li Zhenshan's traitor are not living, I also hope to get your help. Help me save the people of the world from dire straits. Prince Xuan said earnestly to Mo Zhai.

Mo Zhai still didn't speak, thinking about the current court and the people of the world, so he agreed to Prince Xuan's request. and returned with Prince Xuan.
