Early in the morning, as soon as the sun comes out, it shows its majestic might, the hottest season in Chang'an City has arrived, there is no wind, only a heat wave, even if it is morning, there is no trace of coolness, the doors of each square are wide open, and the residents of Chang'an City are going to start a day's life again.

The dog of the Huang family, the moment the door opened, rushed out of the market, came to the cross of Duliu Street in three or two, and after blasting away a large group of flies, he stretched out his red tongue and licked the bluestone slab on the ground.

A foul smell hit the face, making passers-by hide their noses and flee.

A stone flew over and smashed on the Huang family's Laipi dog, and the old dog let out a wail and quickly ran home with his tail between his legs.

"This Huang family's dog is either going to be, what to eat is not good, licking human blood." An old man came out of the door with a broom, followed by a young student carrying two large buckets of water.

Holding back the stench, he poured water with a scoop, and before the water could seep down on the slate, it became red sewage, spreading along the cracks in the slate.

"Uncle Liu, when will I be able to wash the blood clean, Duliu Street is almost stinky and can't live for adults, it's been washed for three days, and it's still so stinky, my shoulders hurt when I carry water." Young posteriors complain while sprinkling water.

"What nonsense, what do you do with the little descendants, be careful of being heard by ghosts, one hundred and sixty-four lives, I heard that they are the children of large families, all of them have fine skin and tender meat, all of them are scholars, it's a pity. Why don't scholars understand the reason, they have to hit the knife by themselves, what can be more big than killing the head? "Lao Fangding has some regrets.

"What's wrong with the reader, he will bleed if he is beheaded, and it will stink if he is put for two days, didn't he say that he would expose his body for three days? Why did it disappear overnight? ”

"No matter how big the national law is, it can't beat a single word of etiquette, all the dynasties and dynasties, all the criminal prisoners who have been exposed to the corpse, except for the lonely souls and wild ghosts who have no roots and no bottom, as long as they are not killed, at night, there are relatives and friends who secretly carry the corpses back for burial, and the government is also blind to the past, and no one cares." Lao Liu has been in Chang'an City for decades, and he has long known these doorways clearly.

Yun Ye was released from the palace, although he heard Cheng Qian say that the important ministers were holding a meeting in the Taiji Palace to study how to control the locust plague. He was still a little frightened, and always felt that a bunch of old guys were waiting at the gate of the palace to capture him.

Fortunately, there are no outsiders, only Lao Zhuang and Liu Jinbao, a good opportunity!

The three of them and three horses slipped out of Chang'an City, and Yun Ye was greatly relieved, as easy as escaping from the ghost gate.

"How's it going at home? I was locked up in the palace and didn't know anything outside, and I didn't know if my grandmother would be able to cope with this locust plague. ”

Lao Zhuang tugged on the reins, slowed down his horse and said to Yun Ye: "The family is fine, you are not here, the old grandmother will take the housekeeper servants, as well as the farmers of the whole Zhuangzi, divided into several groups of day and night to catch insects, the chickens, ducks, and geese at home have been released, and they have eaten straight and swayed, which has kept sixty percent of the food at home, and forty percent has been fed to locusts, if it weren't for the fact that we have more poultry, and the above Hu Zhuang and Liang Zhuang have ended up, I heard that several Zhuangzi have even eaten up the wheat stalks by locusts. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Zhuang unconsciously straightened his chest, very proud, the Zhuangzi near Chang'an still has food in his own Zhuangzi field, and other people's families are miserable, crying and screaming.

"Speaking of which, Hou Ye is still wise, you let those farmers raise chickens and ducks, they were still unwilling, I have long known that they are a group of stupid people, Hou Ye, when have you ever done something unreliable? Still a loser? For this, I didn't beat those nonsense fools in those days, and now no one says that you are a loser, and the one who was beaten went to the house to kowtow to the grandmother and admit his mistake. ”

"Are the bankers still at ease? Didn't flee? Yun Ye remembered that several locust plagues in history had created a large number of refugees, and the situation of dragging children and daughters was miserable. …,

"No, no family has fled, there is sixty percent of the grain on our Zhuangzi, Hou Ye Kaien is rent-free, and there are livestock and poultry at home, which is better than in previous years, what is the difficulty of escaping, besides, the whole Guanzhong is like this, where to escape?"

Yun Ye put his mind at ease, there was no escape, it means that he is qualified as the owner of the farm, and he spent two hundred guan to buy livestock, chickens and ducks, and send them to farmers, which is really nothing to himself, the Yun family does not rely on the little grain in the field to survive, and the output in the whole Zhuangzi field may not be exchanged for money, and besides, didn't he get back 10,000 guan, and he didn't care about spending 1,000 guan to keep the population of Zhuangzi.

"I won 10,000 yuan in a bet with someone a few days ago, did you send the money back?" Counting the days, Li Er should have cleaned up those big families, right? The copying should be very thorough, right? Old Lu Jiang promised me, 10,000? Hahaha, next time I see Lao Lu, a loser old man, and be angry with him again, who let him take the lead in bullying the teachers of my academy? But if he doesn't bully, Lao Tzu won't be able to get this large group of talents, Lao Lu, Lao Lu, you are really my lucky star!

I am happy when I think about it, anyway, your Lu family has enjoyed happiness for hundreds of years, rather than folding in the hands of Wu Mei, it is better to fall at the feet of Li Er, and the bad family is also the first emperor through the ages.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the money was not sent, but the government said that a number of men in the Lu family have been cut, and there are still many female slaves who are selling, and I asked if our family wants it, so that the money can be converted when the time comes." Zhuang San stopped and said.

Yun Ye was as if he had entered an ice cellar, his whole body was cold, and he only felt that the sky was spinning, and he slipped off the horse weakly.

Lao Zhuang, Liu Jinbao hurriedly dismounted and helped Yun Ye up, this time, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and his face was sallow, like a serious illness.

"How many people were killed in the Lu family?"

"I heard that there were one hundred and sixty-four."

"Go back to Chang'an, go back to Chang'an, let's go back to Chang'an." Yun Ye struggled to get up, trying to climb on the horse.

Zhuang San stopped, Liu Jinbao didn't dare to persuade him, so he had to help Yun Ye on the horse, and they walked on the ground, carefully taking care of their own Hou Ye, afraid that he would fall off the horse again. "Actually died, was actually beheaded? The whole family was beheaded? Yun Ye muttered to himself over and over again, as if he was asking others, as if he was asking himself.

The weather was dreary, both sides of the road were full of ruined crops that had been bitten by locusts, and farmers were working hard to catch locusts in the field, and after drying them, they could go to Yunjia Zhuangzi to exchange money, no one paid attention to the three masters and servants on the road, they were all busy with their own affairs, and they were all working hard to fill their stomachs in the future.

What am I running around for? What am I climbing onto the roof to risk being killed by lightning?

Yun Ye's brain was extremely chaotic.

I don't have any sin except for liking to fool Li Er, and deceive him about the ministers who can't eat the ancients, and these things are not sins, maybe it's a good thing, I'm just contaminated with some bad habits that like to save people from Niu Jinda, I just want a few fewer people to starve to death, and I don't want to kill anyone's whole family, I've been addicted to it before, let's just talk about it, why do you shed so much blood when it's a good thing?

Is the contradiction really irresolvable?
