Xiao Changge glanced at the street, not wanting to be as crowded as before.

She still remembered the encounter with Chu Yu on the street, when she envied Bai Ling'er, there was such a man who could die for her and give up everything for her.

He should have been able to sit on the throne, but for Bai Ling'er, he was willing to give up everything to enter the palace, if Chu Yu was decisive at that time, he would not be in danger for Bai Ling'er, and it would probably be her and Chu Yan who died.

Of course, if that is the case, there will be no future, and she will not be reborn and will not meet Chu Yu.

Inside the yamen

Wang Hao couldn't help but be a little depressed when he looked at the official document sent from above, and thought he was dreaming after looking at it repeatedly.

Wang Hao's eyes were empty, and he sighed again and again, and he didn't even respond to his subordinates calling him.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency."

The subordinate shouted, and waved his hand in front of Wang Hao, hoping that Wang Hao would come back to his senses.

"Hey, don't call me sir, I'm not your lord in the future."

"Oh, what did I do... How did you get demoted! I've solved so many cases before and I haven't been promoted but demoted, what kind of place is this Xianyang County, ah, what kind of place is this Xianyang County, it actually made me... He asked me to go to such a small and poor county to be a county magistrate. ”

Wang Hao came back to his senses and got up, shouting at his subordinates with a miserable look.

Before he took office, he clearly asked a fortune teller to calculate it, and the fortune teller said that he had a big life and good luck, and he would rise step by step after becoming an official.

As soon as he took office, he solved many cases but was not promoted, and now he is going to be demoted, and he really doesn't know what he did wrong, so he was demoted.

Last time, he also helped Concubine Xing.

"This..."

"What kind of luck do I have, when the official finds the fortune teller liar, the official must make him look good! I shouldn't have believed what the liar said, what is going on step by step, can I still come back if I go to Xianyang. ”

Wang Hao sat on the steps wiping his tears and cried, can he come back after he goes?

It's better to go anywhere than in the capital, and the capital is also under the nose of the emperor Lao'er, no matter what he does, Emperor Chu knows it, but now he has to be transferred to a place where birds don't, and the chances of coming back are slim.

Wang Hao cried: "My official position has cost a lot of silver." ”

When Chu Yun was there, he didn't use less silver to bribe, but now that Chu Yun is gone, his position is also gone.

"My lord, in fact, it's a good thing to leave, you see that the capital has been in chaos like this recently, when those rebels rushed to the yamen, it is not necessarily, you can go or hurry up, if the little ones have the opportunity, they also want to go with the adults."

The officers and soldiers said with envy.

Now that the capital is in chaos like this, they don't want to stay anymore, if they can go, it's better to go far.

"Today, the big brother they arrested a few more people, I heard that on the street, they just picked up the guy and attacked others, and the forehead bleed and left half a life, and the big head went up to the uniform and was injured."

The officers and soldiers honestly said that they all followed Yi Zheng before, and Wang Hao followed Wang Hao after Yi Zheng took office.

In their hearts, they felt that Wang Hao was better than Yi, and at least he would take care of them.

"Datou is fine, can you help him find a doctor?"

Wang Hao didn't care about crying, but worried about the situation of his subordinates.

"Look, but the medical expenses are too expensive, the eldest brother didn't dare to let the doctor prescribe medicine, and now everything is expensive, just that little bit of medicine costs a tael of silver."

The officers and soldiers are embarrassed, the prescription that used to cost a few pennies now costs one or two pieces of silver, which is no different from robbing money, but the price offered by people is the same price for every household, and they can't do it.

Officers and soldiers are not bandits, and they cannot do those things that threaten people.

The way of this world is that if you are rich, you are an uncle, and if you don't have silver, you are nothing.

"You can take this tael of silver to get some medicine for the big head first."

Wang Hao took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to his subordinates.

"Thank you, sir."

The officers and soldiers were not polite to Wang Hao, and now the big head is still lying at home and urgently needs silver for treatment, and if he continues to be polite, maybe his life will be gone.

"It's just that the official is doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, but the injury to the big head is serious, isn't it? Can that traitor be caught? ”

"Fortunately, it's not particularly serious and can be treated, and the traitor is in prison."

"You go and get a doctor for the boss first, and the official will meet the traitor."

Wang Hao got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, and went to the direction of the cell wearing a black gauze hat.

It was the last thing he did for the people of the capital.

He had heard about the traitors but he didn't feel at ease, he didn't expect these people to really make trouble.

On that day, after a cart of corpses appeared on the streets of the capital, a bunch of rebels appeared, and those people were intent on revenge.

These days, we have been on strict precautions, but there are still times when we are negligent.

In the dark, damp cell, the rebels were guarded by two officers and soldiers with chains on their hands and feet.

When Wang Hao came, the man was sitting in the cell, and when he saw Wang Hao, he also looked disdainful.

"You are Hong Tianbao."

Wang Hao asked with his hands on his hips, and the people in the prison looked disdainful and were not afraid of Wang Hao at all.

Anyway, when he was caught, he never thought he would be alive.

The attack on the person is real, and the official errand is also true, and he accepts his fate as soon as he dies.

But what the Emperor of Chu did was not personnel, even if he died, he would turn into a ghost and stay in the Chu State, watching the Emperor of Chu die and watch the Chu State perish.

"You are Hong Tianbao?"

Wang Hao saw that the people in the prison didn't reply, and asked again, but the people inside didn't say a word.

"My lord, he is Hong Tianbao."

The official said cautiously, Wang Hao coughed twice: "Of course the official knows that you still need to say, go and open the cell." ”

"My lord, this man was very fierce and injured his big head, I think my lord, don't go in to avoid injury, the big head is very badly injured, he was still carried back with blood on his forehead when we went."

The official description made Wang Hao have a scene in his mind.

It's quite fierce when you think about it.

"Then, then don't open it, you guys go outside to help first, they can't escape if the door is locked here."

Wang Hao pushed those people away, and the officials bowed their heads and responded, "Yes." ”

Wang Hao squatted down and looked at the people in the cell, his face was full of stubble and he was not shaved, his eyes were fierce and vicious, and he looked at Wang Hao with a vigilant face.

"Hey, you don't have to look at this official like this, this official will go to Xianyang County tomorrow, and when a new official takes up the position of this official, you will fall into his hands."

Wang Hao sighed lightly, but still did not recover from the demotion.

He has not yet figured out the reason for his demotion.

It's done so well that he doesn't even have an official position.

"Hmph, it's the same in anyone's hands, you're not a good thing anyway!"

Hong Tianbao snorted and said, he didn't look at these officials at all.

"Why do you want to do it to those innocent people, who are innocent."

Wang Hao couldn't figure out why they were all innocent people who wanted to attack them, and they were no different from those executioners if they continued like this.

"They deserve it, my brother didn't make a mistake, he just heard that there was a shortage of people on the side of the palace and wanted to eat, but after waiting for a few months, he waited for a corpse, and my brother is also a living person, a living person!"

Hong Tianbao choked up and said, the living person is gone.

That day, he searched for an afternoon in those carts before he found his brother's body, and he inquired about it, and the people who went to the palace to build the palace never returned, and all of them were corpses.

How acceptable to him!

When I went, I was still a living person, and when I came back, I was gone.

"As the Son of Heaven, we shouldn't protect the people, we shouldn't let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but they don't care about human life at all costs to achieve their goals, they don't care about us, why do we care about other people's feelings, if you want to blame those who were born in Chu State, they are Chu Chong's lackeys!"

The more Hong Tianbao spoke, the more excited he became, and even said the full name of Emperor Chu, which frightened Wang Hao's feet and his face panicked.

"Ouch, don't say it, be careful of being heard, you don't want my little life!"

Wang Hao folded his hands and begged.

"Hmph, you officials are all the same! They are all the emperor's lackeys, I have checked, those people were poisoned to death, they must have wanted to kill them when they saw that the palace was built, so that they didn't even have to pay a penny. ”

Hong Tianbao gritted his teeth.

Even if they didn't give money to save their lives, they were ruthless enough to kill them all.

In this way, the Son of Heaven, who disregards the lives of the people, still has so many people to protect him.

"It's not the emperor's fault, the second prince should be blamed, the second prince is also dead, and the people are innocent."

Wang Hao tried to reason with Hong Tianbao, but he didn't listen.

How could he listen to Wang Hao's.

"Innocent, isn't my brother innocent? I see that you are different from those people, and I advise you not to wade into troubled waters, otherwise you will die sooner or later. ”

"The rebels are not only us, but also other places, the taxes are heavy, the things are expensive, how long do you think they can last?"

Hong Tianbao persuaded, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile.

Wang Hao was a little stunned by this, and looked at Hong Tianbao with a serious face: "What do you mean by this." ”

"It's nothing to tell you, it's not just us who are revolting, there are many drought-stricken places this year, many places have a bad harvest and catch up with the heavy taxes, those people can't pay the taxes and are beaten to death, if you can't pay it, guess what?"

Hong Tianbao deliberately paused to leave suspense, and Wang Hao's expression was difficult to guess.

He had seen such a thing before, it was a few years after the Chu Emperor ascended the throne, because the harvest in their village was not good, and they couldn't pay taxes, almost everyone's daughters were taken away by those officers and soldiers...

"They used the swaddling clothes of the farmer's family and the daughter as collateral, and if they could not pay the specified amount of grain, they would even demolish the house."

Hong Tianbao gritted his teeth.

"What!"

Wang Hao stood up and didn't believe what Hong Tianbao said, doing so was tantamount to forcing the people to rebel.

Hong Tianbao grinned, but Wang Hao couldn't hear his laughter, and his soul was unwilling.

Seeing Hong Tianbao like this doesn't seem like a joke, if what he said is true, then the Chu State will definitely be chaotic.

He knew about taxation, but it was difficult for him to even meet Emperor Chu as a petty official, let alone talk about taxation in front of Emperor Chu.

"Hahaha, the state of Chu is going to die, the country of Chu is going to die."

Hong Tianbao shouted loudly, a banging sound brought Wang Hao back to his senses, the laughter in the cell stopped abruptly, and Wang Hao looked at Hong Tianbao who was bleeding from his forehead on the wall.
