Chapter 5 The beginning of chaos in Kyushu, trouble came to the door
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit!
The heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the various taxes of the officials, have pushed countless poor people to the brink of despair, and the darkness of officialdom is reflected on the entire Kyushu continent.
Two years later, that is, in the sixth year of Yuanwu, the west continent of Kyushu, the south continent, drought broke out one after another, and it happened that the locusts crossed the border, this year there was no harvest, the disaster covered the entire south, southwest, and west, and the officials levied a lot of miscellaneous taxes, and the people who could not survive fled to the mountains, gathered, and robbed the passing merchants.
The government has taken measures to suppress these poor people.
The brutal repression of the government stirred up a thousand waves, and countless rebel armies rose up one after another to fight against the government, intending to overthrow the tyranny of the ruler and establish a new regime.
In the south of Beizhou, the north of Zhongzhou, and the west of Dongzhou, a serious plague broke out, and countless ordinary people died one after another and fled to other places.
In the Black Marsh, countless dawn people were buried, those who died of the plague, those who were killed by officers and soldiers, and those who died in battle gathered here, and it became a place like a Shura region.
Another three years passed, and in the past three years, rebel armies appeared one after another, and they were brutally suppressed one after another, and the vassal states in various places have obtained military power, taken charge of various local political powers, and supported their own troops.
Many powerful princes set themselves up as kings and began to annex each other, and the flames of war began again, and the people of Dawn were in dire straits.
In the ninth year of Yuanwu, the old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, so he began to take revenge and began to collect military power, but unfortunately the new emperor looked down on himself and did not recognize the essence of the princes.
Suppressed by the powerful princes one after another, and finally the princes pressed the border with a large army, settled in the Zhongzhou Palace, and imprisoned the new emperor.
The princes have supported their own recognized royal children to ascend the throne, the conflict and contradictions intensified again, the war broke out in the imperial city of Zhongzhou, and the descendants of the major royal families died in the war and conflict one after another, and there was no one to succeed the throne.
The temptation of power and the growing ambition ignited the flames of war, and the entire Zhongzhou was in a miasma, and there were fights in the imperial city, no longer a happy land, not the most prosperous place, and countless dawn people fled one after another.
The people were displaced, the war swept all over the place, the major princes looked at their neighbors one after another, intending to annex their territories, and for a time everyone was in danger, and the rebel army went forward one after another, extinguished and rose, rose and destroyed, and endured...
Dongzhou, Huangzhou, the undercurrent is surging, everyone is in danger, and Linshan County, ushered in a new county order, named Cai Peng, is a young man, is the nephew of Cai Yang, the state pastor, this person has no ambitions, spends all day drinking, is extremely poor and arrogant, and yinluan is unbearable.
This person has been in Linshan County for three months, and he has been famous all over the world, of course, it is a bad reputation, many girls from good families have been mutilated, no one in the county dares to take care of it, and Wang He has been dismissed, idle at home, watching his grandson practice martial arts all day long, enjoying his old age, just not looking for trouble, trouble to the door.
On this day, Cai Peng personally came to the door, brought two thousand taels of silver, and came to propose marriage, and the object of the proposal was Wang He's little granddaughter, Wang Yue, Bei Minghao's cousin.
At this time, Wang Yue had just turned fifteen years old, three months younger than Bei Minghao, a small jasper, and quite familiar with etiquette.
Wang Yue unfortunately was bumped into by Cai Peng during a street trip, shocked by heaven, and searched for it a thousand times, and finally found out a few days ago, it was the granddaughter of Wang He, the former county commander, and this was the scene just now, of course Wang He did not dare to offend, so he had to invite him into the inner court to discuss the matter.
"Oh no, young master, no, Miss Wang Yuebiao, she..."
Bei Minghao, who was practicing martial arts in the backyard, suddenly heard Liu Ling running in in a hurry, out of breath, and for a while, he couldn't speak.
Bei Minghao frowned slightly, stared at Liu Ling, and said slowly: "Liu Ling, what's going on?" What happened to Yue'er? Was it bullied by someone? ”
"Young, young master, you're right, you were bullied by a turtle king bastard, it's the newly appointed gentleman Cai Peng, he came to propose marriage, and he plans to marry Miss Cousin, go and see!" Liu Ling hurriedly said.
"Cai Peng? Cai Yang's nephew, is that the new county magistrate? He's coming to propose? ”
Bei Minghao realized it and confirmed it, then put away the black halberd, changed his clothes, and went to the hall.
"Wang County Order, I think you have been a county commander for a short time, and you also know who is in charge of Huangzhou, right? So I still hope you think about it more, don't get into trouble, I heard that your grandson has been learning art since he was a child, and his skills are extraordinary, as long as you agree to this family business, we are relatives, I will introduce your grandson, how about it? ”
Seeing that Wang He pushed back and forth, Cai Peng was angry and quite annoyed, but in order to get the little beauty, he still "compromised" and put forward his own conditions.
As soon as he saw that Cai Peng was willing to introduce Bei Minghao, he hesitated, and thought that Wang Yue had grown up since he was a child, and it was absolutely impossible to push him into the fire pit with his eyes, and Cai Peng was powerful and powerful, for a while, I didn't know how to choose!
"How? Old man Wang, have you thought about it? Seeing that Wang He had hesitated for a long time, he asked impatiently.
"Not how? Cai Peng, get out, the Wang family doesn't welcome you! ”
Suddenly, a cold drink came from outside the house, Wang He's face changed greatly when he heard it, and he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and take Hao'er down!" ”
It's just that before Wang He's voice fell, Bei Minghao had already walked in, with a sinister face, looking at Cai Peng coldly, and the cold momentum suddenly frightened Cai Peng.
Cai Peng didn't dare to speak for a while, but after reacting, that sense of superiority arose, his face turned pale, and he roared angrily.
"Old man Wang, who is this person? Why did you break into here for no reason, don't you know what will happen to you if you offend me? ”
"What about offending you? Hurry up and get out of here with the dowry, or I'll throw you out, get out! ”
Bei Minghan scolded coldly, and after scolding, he sat down and poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and looked up again, Cai Peng had red eyes, like a wounded lion, staring at him angrily.
"What? Still not rolling? Don't think that you are the nephew of the state pastor, you can do whatever you want, if you know each other, get out of me immediately, otherwise, I don't mind giving you some color to see! ”
"Hao'er, shut up, let me out!" Wang He scolded with an iron face.
As soon as he heard Wang He scolding him, Cai Peng's face softened slightly, Bei Minghao's eyes flashed sharply at this time, he stood up, regardless of Wang He's scolding, directly lifted Cai Peng up, and put the dowry on the other hand, and walked towards the outside of the mansion!
"You, put me down, do you know who I am, put me down, if you dare to throw me out of the house, I will destroy your royal family!"
As soon as he heard that Cai Peng was so ignorant, Bei Minghao's face flashed with anger, and he threw Cai Peng down the steps outside the mansion gate, and at the same time threw out the bride price.
Yes!
With a scream, Cai Peng's ribs were broken twice, and he fainted instantly, and his entourage stepped forward to help Cai Peng up, and he insulted him violently.
"Little bastard, do you know who this is? You're in a big disaster, you wait, your royal family is finished, it's really over, you wait..."
After speaking, the left and right entourages carried Cai Peng and left, without dragging their feet, and they were obviously quite afraid of the evil star of Bei Yinghao!
"Stop, take away those filthy copper stench, don't pollute the air of the Wang family!"
Those entourages dared not stop, so they had to roll up the dowry and take Cai Peng with them, and fled in embarrassment.
As soon as Bei Minghao turned around, he saw Wang He running out in a hurry with Wang, and when he saw Bei Minghao, he subconsciously asked, "Where is Cai Peng?" ”
"I threw it out!" Bei Minghao said indifferently.
"What, you threw Cai Peng out, you, do you know that Cai Peng is the county magistrate of Linshan County? How can you throw him out? Do you know that this will bring great disaster to the Wang family, you! ”
"So what, do you want to push Yue'er into the fire pit with your eyes open? Is this fair to Yue'er? Bei Minghao said coldly.
"Well, at least sacrificing one person's happiness can save the lives of dozens of people in the entire Wang family, isn't it worth it?" Wang He trembled angrily and roared angrily.
"What's the use of talking about this now, you better think about how to deal with it next, right?" Bei Minghao pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"You, you, you're mad at me! Yan'er, take this little brute down, I won't come out to make trouble without my permission!" Wang Heqi's face turned red, and his heart ached sharply.
Bei Minghao didn't care, but followed the Wang family back to the backyard.
As soon as he arrived in the backyard, the Wang family erupted in a sky-high rage, and smashed down with his head and face, but Bei Minghao didn't talk back, just listened.
waited until most of Wang's anger was gone, and then explained in a gentle voice.
"Mother, Yue'er, I grew up with me, I can't bear to fall into the fire pit, as for Cai Peng, I don't care about it at all, now I think that my grandfather is probably going to hand me over for the lives of dozens of people in the Wang family!"
"What? How can it be? Daddy can't hand you over, you think too much! When Wang heard this, he was shocked, and then vetoed Bei Minghao's statement.
"Then what do you think my grandfather would do? Fleeing for their lives with dozens of members of the Wang family? Do you think it's possible? There are 3,000 county soldiers in Linshan County, which is more than enough to destroy my Wang family! ”
As soon as he heard Bei Minghao say this, the Wang family believed it, and at the same time, his eyes were full of fear, and the six gods were masterless.
"Hao'er, what should you do then? Are you going to leave and flee Linshan County? Don't be afraid, my mother still has some savings, all for you, it's impossible for my mother to watch you being captured by officers and soldiers, go, go now, my mother will prepare your luggage for you! ”
After speaking, with tears on his face, he walked out in a panic, as if he was going to prepare for Bei Minghao.
"Mother..."
Before Bei Minghao finished speaking, the Wang family was already gone, Bei Minghao looked up at the sky and muttered: "It's up to you, I hope you don't let me down..."
