CHAPTER XXXI

[Friends, click here!!! 】

The most spread in the township is that Wang Li, who became a widow, after losing her husband, washed her face with tears all day long......

A nearly forty-year-old man, dressed in a villain's colorful cloth clothes, snatched a rattle from a child in the township, and played like a child, making his mother happy.

Which other parents came to the door, Wang Li not only did not laugh, but sighed and depressed, he is already a sixty-year-old man, his life is seventy years old, his time is short, after death, what should this old son do?

Wang Dahan knew that he had made his mother sad, and he was also very sad, once he brought water to his mother, he tripped and fell without paying attention to his feet, and the pain was so painful that he cried like a kid when he lay on the ground, which shocked Wang Li's family, Wang Li saw it, and it was funny and bitter, and the funny thing was that his son's childishness was not big, and the bitter thing was that he was no longer a child, but a strong man in his forties......

Wang Dahan couldn't distinguish the bitterness in his mother's eyes, and when he saw his mother laughing, he also smirked, thinking that this would make his mother happy, so every time he saw his mother frowning, he repeatedly took water and pretended to fall, lying on the ground to go to school, and the child cried......

Although the fate is unfortunate, but life still has to go on, the sixty-year-old woman naturally can not drive a boat into the lake to fish, Wang Dahan has an amazing amount of food, but has no ability to support himself, helpless, so he can only take care of the mouth into the city of Suzhou to beg for food, has survived......

Although being a beggar is extremely lowly, he does not worry about starving to death, because things gather like and people are divided into groups, and beggars also have beggars' organizations - beggars.

Suzhou City, Ximen Street Chen Da Chen pole head, is the leader of a group of beggars gathered in the west of the city, but also the beggar gang is almost the lowest level of the organization, the beggar gang is known for being well-informed, Wang Dahan's mother's stupid thing, has long been reduced to the people of Suzhou after tea and dinner, he naturally knows that the beggar gang has always been chivalrous, sympathetic to their misfortune, so he secretly took care of the two of them.

It's just that this old woman is stupid and doesn't know what is going on in the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't know that she has to "go to the door to apprentice" before she has to enter the industry, although she begs in the west of the city to barely make a living, and even occasionally meets a kind-hearted person, she can also get a penny or two to save, but after all, there is no "organization", just a lonely ghost.

The officials who have been wandering the streets for a long time know that there are three kinds of people in this world who cannot be provoked, the first is the dignitaries, the second is the powerful and powerful, and the third is the monks. This monk not only refers to monks and Taoist priests, but also refers to beggars!

Beggars are homeless, displaced, and seemingly despicable and spurned, but in fact, beggars form gangs, and because of the difficulty of survival, they are quite united, and they dare to offend the beggars, even the lowest street beggars begging for food along the street, often get endless revenge and harassment.

The beggar gang, on the rivers and lakes, is so loud that even Shaolin has to respect him for three points. Even if it is above the court, those Zhu Zi masters have to be cautious and cautious again and again.

Jianghu Tong said that the beggar gang has 100,000 disciples, but this does not mean that the beggar gang is 100,000 in general, let alone that there are only 100,000 beggars in the world......

100,000 disciples refer to the "red sticks" in the beggar gang, and this red stick, in popular terms, is - thugs.

Therefore, offending the beggars is definitely not a good thing. is the emperor on the dragon chair in the court, if he wants to sit firmly in the world, he must also win over and show goodwill, otherwise the beggars in the world will be excited...... That would be an unimaginable disaster.

Dog stick, this is a token passed down from generation to generation by the beggars, in fact, in addition, the beggars also have a token, called the "dragon head book".

The leader of the beggar gang, also known as the leader of the dragon. Canonized by the emperor. However, this canonization is not who the emperor designates to be the leader of the beggar gang, but after the leader of the beggar gang is produced, the emperor will "canonize" the decree. In fact, the emperor is just a layer of high-level powder in the form.

Besides, Wang Dahan's mother and son, an old man and a fool, have saved 100 cents a year, and when the year is approaching, they want to buy some New Year's goods and return to the village, no matter what, they are not really beggars, they also have household registration, have a family, and go home for the New Year, but it is a tradition in China since ancient times.

At that time, the rule of officials was even more unbearable than now, they went out of the city and encountered the soldiers "inspection", and the soldiers were going to have fifty wen before the passage, and the sky was pitiful, although they had it, how could they be willing to give? You know, for the New Year, they only bought eight taels of meat and two big radish! It took nearly twenty wen to do this alone, and I was quite reluctant.

So the dispute arose, and the old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again to beg the military master to raise his noble hand, and Wang Dahan also smirked and kowtowed. Seeing this, the soldier not only did not spare it, but became even more arrogant, crossed his hands on his waist, stretched his legs wide, and sneered: "Old immortal, if you crawl under the crotch of the military master, grandpa will raise his noble hand and save you from the passage money......"

The old woman swallowed her anger and crawled over, Wang Dahan saw this, thought it was fun, and also climbed along, the old woman's life was like a broken candle, and she was humiliated, so how could she allow her son to suffer this humiliation? Strict voice, but not allowed.

Wang Dahan was stupid, so he sat on the ground and cried "wow~~~...... The crowd at the gate of the city watched, and they all laughed when they saw this, and they were extremely mocking.

The old woman was miserable, and when the soldier saw this, he also laughed proudly, and suddenly found a new pleasure, and pointed at Wang Dahan, and asked him to crawl under his crotch, and he had to learn to bark as a dog. The crowd on the spot, suddenly shouted, only to say that there was a good show to watch.

But this time the old woman didn't agree! Wang Dahan listened to his mother's words very much, wanted to "play" but didn't dare, just cried even louder, quite aggrieved. The crowd burst into laughter.

The laughter of the crowd was like the most stimulating stimulant, and the soldiers were even more forgetful, and their faces were full of red light, only to feel that the old woman was in the way, and raised his foot and kicked the old woman's shoulder with a cruel smile, and scolded: "Old immortal, get out!" He pointed to Wang Dahan's crotch and shouted: "Fool, climb quickly!" ”

The crowd suddenly coaxed: "Climb quickly...... Climb ...... fast"

In the commotion, the old woman did not move, and fell to Wang Dahan's side, Wang Dahan was puzzled, pushed the old woman's body, and called: "Mother...... Mother's ......"

I didn't even respond to the screams a few times, and suddenly cried loudly, "Mother......"

"Ahh The crowd suddenly exclaimed, "That old woman won't die, will she?" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but retreat and get out of the way, as if they were in some dangerous place, and they wanted to protect themselves, and they seemed to have done something bad to clear their suspicions.

The soldier was also shocked and killed? It's not easy! At this time, the other soldiers also surrounded him, and one of the older ones, seeing his panicked appearance, hurriedly went over and whispered a few words in his ear.

When the soldier heard this, he immediately pointed at the old woman and shouted, "Die well, die well, a remnant of the White Lotus Sect!" Well dead! ”

In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, they dared to reverse black and white and refer to the deer as a horse! The crowd of onlookers was silent.

White Lotus Sect. Not long ago, the White Lotus Sect developed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was extremely attractive to the poor people at the bottom.

However, the White Lotus Sect's scriptures oppose darkness and pursue light, and the doctrine that light will eventually triumph over darkness, "the great catastrophe is coming, the heavens and the earth are dark, the sun and the moon have no light", "the yellow sky will die, the sky will be born", "the world will change greatly", and other propaganda, but it really offended the ruling class's rebellion, the name of the cult was decisively crowned, and the army was also decisively suppressed......

However, the woman in front of her was by no means a White Lotus cultist.

………………………………………………………………………………………

Lin Tian and the others entered the city. Xinrou was in the carriage, telling Lin Tian bit by bit what happened at the West City Gate.

Lin Tian asked, "What happened later?" ”

"Later?" Xin said softly, "Later...... That Wang Dahan was extremely stupid, and he couldn't understand what it meant for the old lady to die, but after all, after losing his father, in his consciousness, if he died, he would never see him again, and he thought that he would never see his mother again, and this was all caused by the soldier...... He howled and scurried, and snatched a kitchen knife from nowhere, and slashed at the soldiers, who were caught off guard, and their strength was really out of reach, and even if he kicked his mother, he was slashed on the head and died......"

When Lin Tian heard this, he sighed and said, "This fool must die in the end, right?" ”

Xinrou nodded and said: "He hacked to death seven soldiers in a row at the West City Gate, and injured more than a dozen, and the frightened crowd scattered birds and beasts and fled, and finally the officers and soldiers patrolling the city arrived, and the random arrows shot him to death......"

Lin Tian sighed again, silent, not knowing what he thought.

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi also sat on the side and listened to the story, hearing this, they couldn't help but cover their mouths, Xiaoqing had heard this story before, this was a sudden interjection, and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, but after the mother and son died, they were convicted of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, their heads were cut off, and they were hung at the entrance of the vegetable market for three months, but that night, the guards who watched the corpse were knocked unconscious, and the corpse was stolen......"

Xinrou continued: "This matter later caused a storm in the city, and finally spread to the court, when Wang Xianggong had just been appointed by the official family as the ruler, so he used this incident as an introduction to attack the old party, Suzhou Prefecture was dismissed, exiled to the land of Lingnan miasma, and the new law began to be implemented in the same year......"

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "New law? Neither will the new law......"

Xinrou's face changed slightly, and she said softly: "Brother Tian, be cautious." ”

Lin Tianche sighed, disappreciated, and said: "Wang Anshi himself knows that the 'new law' will not work...... Oh yes......" He remembered the matter of Taihu Academy and said, "...... There's something to tell you. ”

"What?" Xinrou asked.

Lin Tian pretended to be mysterious and said: "Don't talk about it now, I'll go to the place in a while, and tell everyone again." "I thought to myself, since Su Shi, Wang Anshi and others are coming to Gusu, I might as well invite them to be the witnesses of my marriage with Xinrou......
