Chapter 34: Master's Past (2)

Under the persecution of his parents, the master finally held back his tears and wrapped himself into a zongzi, firstly to prevent being infected, and secondly for fear of encountering robbers on the road.

"Dad, Mother, I'm leaving" Master stood in front of the bed, his weak heart holding back tears.

"Ahem... Good... Let's go" Father's voice is getting weaker and weaker, it has been more than a week, there has been no rescue, it seems that the court really doesn't care.

Feeling his father's weak appearance, Master's nose became even more sour, and tears flowed down his eyes.

Throwing away the burden, he knelt down with his legs and resolutely kowtowed three times: "Father, mother, the child is not filial!" In the future, the child will make a meritorious deed, glorify the lintel, and then go back... Honor you again! ”

After saying that, the master closed his eyes, left a lot of dry food and water at the bedside, wiped a handful of tears and left resolutely.

Fearing that refugees would flood into the house, Master quietly slipped out the back door.

This small county town was originally a relatively prosperous small city in that era, but this time the master was trembling on the way out of the city.

Repression! It's really oppressive, the sky is dark, and there is no bustling crowd in the streets, instead there are falling leaves that are gargling.

There were even some corpses on the side of the road, buzzed with flies.

In the past, there was no one at the most prosperous city gate, and there were two black ribbons floating in front of the city gate, warning future generations that there was an outbreak of plague.

The master was carrying a big burden, and he had just walked out of the city gate when he heard someone commotioning not far away.

"Master Jun... Save us, Master Jun...."

Master remembered his father's words closely, in this era, the most untrustworthy thing is the imperial court, as soon as he heard that there were officers and soldiers, the master hurriedly turned sideways and turned his head onto the path.

Squatting in a bush, quietly looking towards the source of the sound.

A line of officers and soldiers... No, it shouldn't be officers and soldiers, except for the leader who has a strong physique, and the clothes on his chest are engraved with a big word "soldier", everyone else's chest is "brave".

In the same way, they all wore masks made of cloth, and like the Master, they wrapped themselves tightly.

It should be an officer and soldier of the imperial court with a group of village warriors here.

"Let's go! Hurry into the city, either go back or have you cremated here today! The leading soldier hurriedly kicked the almost dying few people with his feet.

Although those people were in pain, they still wanted to grasp the last straw and hugged the legs of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and men seemed to have reached the limit of their endurance, and after scanning around and finding that there was no one, they glanced at the people behind them.

"Kill him and bury him somewhere."

"It's... No, it was said above...."One of the villagers still has some conscience and wants to persuade him.

"What's on it? Here I'm above, a bunch of jianmin, what do you care about them! ”

As he spoke, the leader directly drew his knife and killed the person who was holding his leg and begging. Seeing this, the other victims were busy trying to escape.

"Quick! Kill them, or you will die!" Seeing that they were a little hesitant, the head directly gave the order to die.

.............

Master was a little afraid to look at this scene, and retreated backwards and ran away, encountering this incident just after going out, which also made Master have an additional concept of the rot of the imperial court.

Now the master doesn't dare to take the big road, it is obvious that the imperial court is preventing the people in the city from running around. Originally, it was right to do this, but this method carried out by the people below was too hateful.

The master lowered his head and just walked towards the south, muttering to himself, "Let's go to my sister and them." ”

In this chaotic era, Master is also a little scared, he grew up in a small greenhouse, let him go out alone, and he really didn't know what to do.

Master's family didn't like to be an official in the imperial court, but in order to gain a foothold, they had to give their sister to a local state official as a concubine, after all, no matter how powerful the people were, they couldn't withstand the imperial court.

Fortunately, Master's dry food was quite sufficient, and by the time he reached the state government on foot, there was still a little left.

Looking at the magnificent mansion in front of him, with red walls and gray tiles, full of power, the master sighed in his heart.

I thought that my family was magnificent enough, but compared with this official, it was a small thing.

There were also two soldiers in military uniforms in front of the state capital, and this look alone was enough to shock off the hungry "Jian people" at that time.

After entering this city, the master had already taken off the tattered clothes wrapped outside, and at this time, the master was carrying a yellow cloth pattern bag, wearing silk, and he didn't look like an ordinary person's child.

After observing at the door for a while, the master raised his feet and prepared to step forward, after all, they were all here.

is what I heard along the way, this state official grandfather doesn't seem to be a good thing, and the officials are all bought.

"What for?"

As expected, the doorman stopped the master.

The master pretended to be calm: "I'm here to defect, and the owner inside is my brother-in-law, you go and report it." ”

The doorman glanced at me, and saw that I was wearing a fancy dress, and for a while he didn't know what my master was about, although the master was still young, his tone was soft: "Okay, let's go in and report it." ”

Master was anxiously wandering at the gate, but he was actually very nervous, and he himself didn't know if this governor would treat him.

After waiting for a while, many people rushed out sparsely in the palace, looking at the master with unkind faces.

The person in the lead was still pointing at the master, as if he was afraid that the master would run away.

"Quick, don't let him run!"

Master only heard this sentence, and turned around and ran away!

After the officers and soldiers in the back approached, the master had already disappeared in a smoke, and the leader found that the person had run away, and directly slapped the doorman just now: "Didn't you hear when you caught him?" ”

That person felt a little aggrieved in his heart, who knows what you said, do you blame me for startling the snake? Stupid.

But the doorman only squirmed a few times in his mouth, and he didn't dare to speak, after all, the official was crushing people to death.

After running for a long time without daring to stop, the master was also confused: "Why is this? We didn't do anything wrong, did we? ”

In an unknown alley, Master gasped for breath and kept thinking in his heart.

He didn't do anything, even if he didn't want to see him, he didn't need to let the officers arrest him, right?

"It's good that I reacted quickly..."

Seeing that it was going to be dark, I had to find an inn first.

…………………

The imperial court is really corrupt, and the city where the state capital is located is generally more prosperous.

But there were hardly any sellers on the street, no shouts from the vendors, and no bustling crowds.

There is only one beggar in ten paces that can be seen.

And, of course, their pleadings.

"Boss, let's have a room." The master stepped forward and directly shot the silver ticket.

The boss glanced at the master with disdain, and stepped forward in a low voice: "Little guest officer, don't you know?" There's a war going on outside, and now I don't even recognize this silver ticket. ”

The master was a little confused: "War??" Great Qing pills? ”

The boss was frightened, and hurriedly went over to cover the master's mouth: "Little guest officer, be cautious, be cautious." ”

The master stared and nodded, and the boss let go of covering the master's mouth: "But I heard that it is no longer possible to go to Beijing, so I don't recognize this silver ticket now, so if the little guest officer doesn't have the silver, ......"

Fortunately, there is still silver in Master's bag, but it is not much, it is all some broken silver.

"Is that enough?" The master grabbed a little bit at random.

When the boss saw it, this little guest officer was a big customer, well-yes, such a particular clothes, it must be a big customer.

The boss took the silver: "Enough is enough, it must be enough, come in quickly, guest officer, arrange a good room for you." ”

The charm of money, it's really good.

Looking at this posture, the master knew that he had been fooled, and he had to make up for it: "Remember to send me supper"

"Okay, officer," the boss replied very simply.

The master secretly scolded himself for being a loser in his heart, how much more did he give?

Sitting in this clean and tidy guest room, Master opened the window boredly to see what was going on outside.

But here are all beggars and the like, and there is no beautiful view.

"Forget it, alas, what's wrong with the death of this world?"

After all, Master is only 11 years old, and he has only studied in a private preschool for a few years, so he barely knows a word.

In addition to a little clothing and broken silver, there was only some uneaten dry food left in the baggage.

The silver ticket is definitely useless.

The sound of Master's sighing came intermittently in the guest room, but Master's mouth was temporarily blocked during the supper.

The accident happened when I left the inn the next day.

............

"Why are you arresting me? Why! ”

It turned out that the master was arrested by the officers and soldiers just after leaving the inn, and now.... Master is struggling in the dungeon.

"You are so daring! I don't know that the parents here are my brother-in-law, right? Let me out quickly, or I'll behead you all." ”

Master's tiny body struggled in the dungeon.

"Hey! Little brat, to tell you the truth, your brother-in-law asked us to catch you, hahahaha. ”

"No, it can't be, what is he coming to arrest me for? Don't lie to me, don't be here........ Yin Feng Yang violated" The master held back for a long time before he came up with such an idiom.

Just as the master was about to continue the struggle, a middle-aged man's voice came from outside the cell: "Don't you want to see me?" Now that I'm here, what do you want to say? ”

It took a while for a middle-aged man with a big belly to come in, dressed in official clothes, and looked at the master with a sense of majesty.

The man brought him a chair, and he sat down straight and looked at the master: "Say, what are you looking for me to do." ”

Do? Master's heart is still angry, so he has come all the way to you, even if he doesn't take me in, there's no need to lock me up in prison, right?

However, the master swallowed this question first.

"Are you really my sister's husband?"
