Chapter 269: Five-flowered horses, daughters Qiu, Hu'er came out to exchange for wine

"Don't rush to get out yet! there's another good thing here!"

Just when Wei Yuan thought that he was finishing work, Ah Suo suddenly said that there were still good things in Liujiazhuang.

According to Ah Suo's guidance, the group came to Liu's house. It is Master Liu's home.

The corpse of Master Liu felt the viciousness of the world and became a greedy ghost, and the first to suffer was the Liu family.

It's just that the greedy ghost was only the size of an ordinary person at the beginning, and maybe even smaller. So the greedy ghost only ate the people of the Liu family at that time, after all, it was more than fifty people, and they ate all night.

The next night, the greedy ghost became much stronger, and began to smell the smell and go to the neighbors' houses to eat people. After all, wood and bricks, how can there be meat delicious?

Later, when the whole village had been eaten, and the greedy ghost had become extremely large, and began to eat dirt and rocks, it was already far away from Liu's house. So Liu Zhai didn't find any damage.

If Wei Yuan and the others come two or three days late, the greedy ghosts will become even more huge, and it is estimated that the entire Liujiazhuang will be eaten up, and there will be a big pit left on the ground. Greedy ghosts will eat in other directions.

This Liu Mansion is still well preserved, and Wei Yuan followed Ah Suo's guidance and came to a small study in Liu Mansion. On the wall of the study, a painting hangs.

The painting depicts a fat horse, with white, yellow, red, black, and blue fur on its body, and its mane is also braided into five colors.

The paper is yellowed, and it looks quite ancient. Look at the payment and stamps, Han Gan in the Tang Dynasty.

Han Gan is known as the originator of the horse painting world, known as the horse walking in the painting. There are even stories circulating that people from the underworld asked him to draw horses as mounts. It can be seen that it is indeed extraordinary.

If this painting is real, it is quite a precious ancient painting!

Of course, Wei Yuan didn't know any Han Gan, and he didn't care about any ancient paintings.

Wei Yuan noticed the abnormality of the painting and tried to consume the energy level to activate.

Hou Yingxiong's eyes suddenly flickered, as if he saw the fat horse in the painting shaking its mane!

He rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, and the painting was nothing out of the ordinary, as if he had seen it wrong!

......

Wei Yuan set off again, he was going to cross the river to Shaoxing Mansion, and then head southwest to Jinhua.

Hangzhou Mansion goes southwest, and then crosses the river to Jinhua.

It's just that the world is chaotic after all, the boundary directly under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou is more than twice that of the ordinary mansion city, close to the east of Hangzhou Bay, it is good, it is very prosperous and relatively stable, although it is inevitable that some small thieves and monsters will make trouble. But it's better than the vast wilderness and no man's land in the west of Hangzhou.

Because of the desertion caused by excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as well as the ravages of robbers and demons, a large area in the west of Hangzhou Prefecture has been barren.

The place that was pioneered and prosperous two hundred years ago is now overgrown with weeds. There has been a regression in the area of human activity.

In this case, if Wei Yuan takes this road, he will have to suffer from the boss!

In the deep mountains and old forests, the demons and evil spirits are probably stacked up! There is no place for a serious landing, and there is not even a single figure to be seen. Maybe you can see the ghost in the grave in the mountains.

Why should people embarrass themselves? Isn't it good to be comfortable? For example, when you really don't want to code, you can drop the pigeon!

So Wei Yuan decisively chose to take the Shaoxing route.

The people of the Hou Mansion respectfully sent a boat to send Wei Yuan, along with the members of the West Animal Park, to the other side of the river.

Wei Yuan waved his hand, and with a long neighing of horses, a group of sturdy horses came running out of nowhere, and stopped in front of Wei Yuan, leaning their necks and baring their teeth, with a very proud expression.

This horse looks a little strange, because the ancients painted a lot of times to focus on the spirit rather than the shape, so this horse has a thick neck and a thin head, and a huge body.

If you are good at Soma, you can recognize it at a glance, there is no such horse in the world, only those who draw such horses. If nothing else, just five colors of fur are enough to bluff people!

But it doesn't matter, it's just a good ride.

Wei Yuan sat on the horse, and the chicken leg was lying on the horse's buttocks.

Erha was trotting next to him, and Erha was squatting on Wukong.

Erha has to run around with a whizz, maybe he will have to take a hoof at that moment.

"Mondo, let's go!Drive~"

Wei Yuan named this five-flowered horse Mondo, because Mondo can go wherever he wants!

Mondo is extremely full of physical strength, and he doesn't need to eat or drink, as long as Wei Yuan consumes some energy level, he can keep running.

Mondo is light and cheerful, and everything is fresh to see along the way. It only took a small day for Wei Yuan to run from the riverside to Xiaoshan County.

As soon as he entered this county area, Wei Yuan felt uncomfortable, as if there was something uncomfortable in the air.

The chicken leg also covered his nose and swept his eyes squinted.

"Ah Suo, what's going on? How do I feel that something is wrong with this county!"

Wei Yuan's voice sounded behind his ears: "Because there is a lot of rich resentment floating in the air. ”

"Grievance? I see! It's just that how can there be such a large area of resentment? What a grievance this is!"

Wei Yuan felt that the resentment was condensed in the air, and even the clouds were disturbed, and they were almost about to manifest.

Grievances of this magnitude are enough to disturb the weather, and the snow in June is a trivial matter.

Ah Suo said: "I don't think it's a person's or an individual's grievance......"

Wei Yuan rode a horse to the gate of the county seat, and there were only two thin and lazy guards at the gate of the city who squatted on the ground to "stand guard".

The person who could have ridden such a tall horse was not something that the janitor could afford to provoke, and this was a bald head, so he felt extraordinary at first glance. These guards are very discerning, where do they dare to provoke indiscriminately?

It's just that Wei Yuan is also wondering in his heart: Even the guards at the city gate who have a lot of oil and water are thin like this, how poor is this Xiaoshan County!

You know, you can't be poor at any time for those low-level petty officials.

No matter what kind of disaster it is, as long as there are still people alive, these petty officials can get back to life.

Now that these two goods have lost weight, it can be seen that Xiaoshan County is really poor.

When I entered Xiaoshan County, the street was deserted. There are a few stalls scattered around, and there are not a few goods.

There are more people setting up stalls than buying things.

Wei Yuan sat down at a wonton stall on the side of the street and discharged a few big bucks, "A few bowls of wontons!"

Wei Yuan snorted and ate the next bowl, and began to chew and swallow slowly to eat the second bowl.

The chicken thighs looked down on this non-carnivorous food, and they didn't get down when they crawled on the horse's buttocks.

Erha on one side was greedy, saliva was dripping down, and he was so anxious that he screamed and jumped in place, and almost flipped the table directly.

Wei Yuan threw a wonton at it, lest the Erhago dog rush the table.

After eating the wontons, Wei Yuan began to ask the old man who set up the stall.

"Uncle, why is this Xiaoshan County like this? It's so close to Hangzhou Mansion, it shouldn't be!"

Although the old man was very angry about Wei Yuan's behavior of feeding the dog with wontons. But people are rich and even ride high-headed horses, and they are still monks, so they can't afford to be provoked.

The old man opened his mouth and replied: "The master doesn't know, we are in Xiaoshan County...... It's miserable!"

Before the old man could speak, his eyes turned red.

"Don't look at us, we are just across the river from Hangzhou Mansion, but we belong to Shaoxing Prefecture. Hangzhou can't control us, and we're not close to Shaoxing. Who cares? And our merchant gang was almost wiped out by a catastrophe a few years ago. He never got up again. So it's all up to the county magistrate ......"

The old man swept left and right, and whispered: "Seven or eight years ago, we were still in charge of the previous county master. Not to mention that there are seven or eight kinds of taxes added, and in the end, there is really no money to collect, so he actually collects the poll tax! Whoever has a child has to pay taxes! If there is no money, he will collect the land!"

"Where is the money for the bitter mud legs? That little bit of land has to feed the family! If the land is confiscated, the whole family will not have to starve to death? As a result, no one dares to have children anymore. The poor family didn't even dare to have a child. When they were born, they were to be thrown into the toilet and drowned! At that age, I don't know how many babies died! There was originally a big ditch in the east of the county seat, which was dedicated to throwing dead children. It was filled in in a few years!"

"Originally, we thought that it would be good if the county magistrate was transferred away after three years! Who knew that Qian Papi had been re-elected for three consecutive terms, if it weren't for the fact that he suddenly climbed to the top official of the prefecture and city the year before last, he was promoted and transferred away. We are still suffering!"

Wei Yuan finally knew what that huge resentment was all about! It was the resentment of thousands of babies who had died innocently and tragically in the past ten years!

Wei Yuan's hatred in his heart! This kind of county order can still be promoted!

This world is indeed a world where good and evil are not rewarded!

Wei Yuan's face was gloomy and he asked, "Then it's finally better now, right?"

The old man shook his head: "Master, look at this street, does it look better? But he feels that in the past ten years, people's livelihood has withered, the population is too small, and tax revenue has also decreased. So now if the family has less than two children, you have to pay heavy taxes. Now the county is so desolate, all because of the death and the escape, and the people are no longer there. ”

The old man bowed his head and wrapped the wontons, and said in a low voice: "Those big families are okay, they have money to sell people." Many of the children were abducted from other places and bought by the big families as adopted sons and daughters. In fact, they are just servants and maids...... I originally had a son, but he fell into the water and died a few years ago. Now that I'm old and have no one to support, I have to pay heavy taxes every year. If I don't come out to buy ravioli, I'm going to be forced to die. When I can't do it anymore, it's time for me to die......"

Wei Yuan felt that something was blocking his heart, and he couldn't speak, and he couldn't breathe.

He looked up at the heavens...... Shangguan is powerful, and the small people are reluctant to make a living. They think they can manipulate other people's life, old age, sickness and death at will, but those grievances are floating in the sky!
