The shadows of the trees are slanted, and the lights are full of plums.

The red candle shook in the room, and the figures of the people swayed with it.

There was still a little bit of firecrackers outside, and the sound of firecrackers came in, making it seem that the house was different from the previous quiet.

The two brothers of the Qin family couldn't survive for years, and since Gu Changqing left, they came to Fu Qiang's house and kept guarding Fu Qiang, hoping that he could wake up to the sound of firecrackers.

But the more I look forward to it, the more disappointed I become. Fu Qiang's eyes never opened.

Qin Xin, who was still patient at the beginning, looked at the situation in front of him and thought about Gu Changqing's words, but in the end he couldn't hold back and slapped Fu Qiang with a slap.

He didn't think about how hard he worked, but the anger in his heart was a little irrepressible, why could he sleep so peacefully, but he had to toss and turn and couldn't sleep.

It's not hate, it's just complaining.

Just after Qin Xin's slap passed, Fu Qiang reacted magically, although it was not big, he only moved his eyes slightly, but he was still captured by the old housekeeper.

"Master Qin, come and take a look." The old housekeeper's voice trembled, "Our master seems to have reacted?" ”

Qin Xin turned around and immediately walked over quickly, only to see Fu Qiang's eyes shaking in it, like a bug, and he didn't know when it would break out of the cocoon.

"This, there's a bug in there?" Qin Xin said tremblingly.

The old housekeeper also held Fu Qiang's hand worriedly, and just before the two of them understood what was going on in front of them, Fu Qiang's eyes suddenly opened.

Like the man in the prison who suddenly woke up.

Immediately after, he coughed a few times, one louder and more breathless, and just after that thunderous cough, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Qin Xin and the old housekeeper thought that he was going to the West Heaven, but who knows, he touched the black blood on the corner of his mouth, his eyes rolled around, and then said, "I'm hungry." ”

The old butler immediately ran out, laughing with tears in his eyes, and brought back a table of things. Fu Qiang didn't care about it, he devoured it, and after the remnants of the wind and clouds, the cups and plates were in disarray, but he was satisfied.

From hell to earth, it's just a sudden.

"Brother Fu. You're awake. What's wrong with you these two days, we're all going to die in a hurry? Qin Xin said.

Fu Qiang rubbed his head and carefully recalled the events of that day, specifically dating back to the time when Gu Changqing invited him to drink Wang Ba Soup.

At that time, the Qin family brothers had already left, and he felt sick in his heart, although he was much better after drinking a bowl of sour pear juice, but the whole person was still weak.

He sent the old butler away, and went to bed. In a trance, it seemed to be a dream, and I dreamed that a stunning man walked in slowly from the door, holding a wine glass in his hand, and the wine in it spilled out slowly.

Then, in the middle of drowsiness, there was really the sound of a cup falling.

He was startled, woke up straight, looked up, and saw the stunning man in his dream looking at him and smiling. He wanted to get up but couldn't move at all, so he could only ask in surprise, "Are you......?" Who? ”

"You don't have to know who I am." The man left his eyes, slowly sat down on the chair next to his bed, crossed his legs and drank the wine in the cup, squinting his eyes from time to time as if he was enjoying it, and that leisurely appearance was almost a tune.

Fu Qiang looked at the strange man, he knew that the house seemed to be loose, but in fact, the guards were quite strict, and it was impossible for ordinary thieves and thieves to even get close, but the person in front of him was able to avoid all the guards, and easily sat next to him, and he couldn't help but be scared in his heart.

He said, "Who are you, and what is the matter with your late night visit?" ”

"You don't recognize me?"

The man leaned forward, put his hands on his laps, turned his head to look at Fu Qiang, and smiled contemptuously, "But I recognize you?" ”

"Do you recognize me?" Fu Qiang put his hands on the armrests of the chair, trying to get up, the flesh on his face was trembling, and cold sweat was falling.

The man said mockingly, "Master Fu, I advise you to save your efforts." Even if you use all the strength you used to feed when you were a child, you won't be able to get out of this bed. ”

Fu Qiang exerted himself again, and found that as the man said, his whole body seemed to be imprisoned. The horror in the eyes is like the light of the night, more and more.

The man seemed to be very satisfied with Fu Qiang, stretched his waist, and leaned back on the chair, "What, Master Fu is scared?" But I didn't see you scared back then. People are dead in front of you, and you don't see the slightest throbbing. ”

Fu Qiang became more and more confused, he had no thoughts at all about what the man in front of him said, and he had never seen him.

"It's okay if you don't remember. I remember it all for you. Master Fu, do you remember what happened five years ago? ”

Fu Qiang's mind was spinning desperately, five years ago, what happened five years ago, what would make this man come here late at night?

Zhou Caisheng. After thinking about it for a long time, Fu Qiang finally determined this person. This man is a man who does all kinds of evil, and five years ago, he had personally plotted the death of his father-in-law.

At that time, Shen Rushan, who was the assassin of Fengzhou, was golden, honest and clear, and could be called a model of officials. But his son-in-law Zhou Caisheng is very different from him, all bribes are accepted, and all projects that can make money are not lost, regardless of whether he is against human ethics or will be scolded by tens of thousands of people.

At that time, he handled the trafficking case, just because those people gave him heavy bribes, and forcibly pushed so many villain lives into the abyss. At that time, Fu Qiang hesitated, but in the end, under the lure of money, he gave up the struggle of conscience in his heart.

He had always been worried about this matter, and he always felt that the trial on this matter had not yet begun. And the man at this time, will it be because of this incident?

"I don't know what Childe said? I thought about it, but I didn't think about what happened five years ago. Fu Qiang lowered his head and said slowly. But he kept an eye on it, and didn't say it, if not, wouldn't he dig his own grave.

"I don't know what I'm talking about?" The man stood up, his eyes looked cynical, but he was really angry, "Lord Fu is really a noble person, how forgetful?" With such a big civil riot and the innocent people who died, can you really have a good conscience? ”

Fu Qiang looked at the man who turned from careless to aggressive, and suddenly became scared in his heart, not to mention whether he could beat him when he could move, with his current situation, it was estimated that the man could suffocate himself with a quilt on his head.

"What, you haven't remembered yet?" The man's eyes slowly began to turn red, and even the corners of his mouth were trembling.

He really couldn't understand what this human heart was made of.

Fu Qiang had already remembered the riot caused by a group of ordinary people at that time in order to resist the pressure of taxation. Before that, the twice-a-year tax had been going on for five years.

Some people once complained about why Anqing only needs two taxes, and why other areas still only have one land tax after the autumn.

Fu Qiang once told the lieutenant chiefs and pavilion chiefs that because Anqing was rich and had a high grain output, and the north and south directions needed relief for many years, taxes would be levied twice a year, thus covering up the black tax in front of him.

The lieutenant chief, the pavilion chief didn't know that this was an excuse from Zhou Caisheng and others, thinking that it was all true, and followed the people to complain a few words, and began to collect it in accordance with the regulations.

The first year was actually fine, thinking that it was just this year, and it was okay for one party to be in trouble, after all, I don't know when the disaster will come to my head, and I hope that I can also get help at that time.

It's just that no one thought that these two taxes would be five years after they were collected.

Not only did the people begin to feel that something was wrong in their hearts, but even the chief pavilion chief felt that this didn't seem to be a normal phenomenon.

There are disasters, and it is a common thing for a year or two, but for five years in a row, those who don't know still think that God has killed his daughter-in-law, crying blind?

In addition, five years ago, there was another typhoon, and the continuous wind blew for most of the year, starting from the spring when the seeds went to the ground, until the seedlings grew half a person high, it was still safe and stable, and people said that it was another good year.

However, a sudden gale bent all the crops that grew upwards, and they all bowed their heads to the sun.

However, fortunately, after all, I can still collect a little after bending my waist, thinking that this is all the same, I don't have to help others, and I have to weigh whether I can eat enough.

However, Zhou Caisheng didn't seem to see this disaster, and he didn't take the words of the chief and the pavilion chief to heart.

The land tax of eight liters of rice grain per mu of land, and the poll tax of rice for every two people, will be collected according to the law.

For a while, people were panicked, floating abnormally, I thought that I would save and save, and this year would be passable, but no one thought that I was collected for five years to say that it was food for relief in the disaster area, and in the end, when I was affected by the disaster, not only did no one help, but also continued to collect taxes.

This kind of heavenly principle, where to say. Who can pay attention to the deepest suffering of such a people?

I don't know who started the incident first, but in short, the people were encouraged, and they hid in the vegetable cellar of the house of unknown people, plotted the matter, and prepared to rise up and resist.

Fu Qiang still remembers that the wind whistled like a wolf howling that day, and those people who were unwilling to endure it anymore held rakes and hoes in their hands, and some old people even squeezed in with pots and pans, and the shouts shook the sky.

Fu Qiang panicked, I really don't know what to do if I continue to make trouble like this, and be found out, black tax, that is the crime of killing the head.

Zhou Caisheng was uneventful, drank tea and ate snacks at home, and then leisurely took the carriage to the scene of the incident.

At that time, the anger of the masses had reached a boiling point, but Zhou Caisheng completely ignored it, and the people were angry, and he was even more angry than them.

When he got on the high platform, he began to scold, from ignorance to unscrupulous people, from ignorance to death, in short, he scolded whatever was ugly. has a fearless appearance, it is really the first time Fu Qiang has seen it so real.

As soon as Zhou Caisheng appeared, he really calmed down the scene. After all, his anger can be terrifying. The people don't know what the consequences will be if they continue to make trouble, and they are all terrified.

If it weren't for the desperate man who came up at the end, things wouldn't have become so irreparable.

The middle-aged man stared at Zhou Caisheng, as well as a group of people such as Fu Qiang and the guards around him, and began to scold. And that guard, under Zhou Caisheng's eyes, stabbed him to death.

Blood splattered on the spot, adding a hint of despair to the wind with a fishy smell.

In fact, thinking about it in hindsight, maybe this is Zhou Caisheng's purpose.

A rebellion without blood can never be a successful rebellion, and without blood suppression, there will be no good consequences. This is what he firmly believes.

The truth was indeed as Zhou Caisheng expected, after seeing the blood, those mobs dispersed in a hurry. Only one old man was left collecting the body.

However, as time progressed, this matter was covered with a layer of dust in Fu Qiang's heart. In the past five years, the taxes have remained the same, but no one has resisted, and even the voice of complaining cannot be heard in the streets and alleys.

It was as if people had suddenly forgotten, the blood gushing out, and the howl that rushed to the sky.

They endured it in order to survive in the darkness.

/>

It's just occasionally, Fu Qiang will also sigh, Zhou Caisheng is indeed violent.

………………

"Master Fu. Is this reminiscing? Or is it repentance? ”

The man felt that Fu Qiang's memories were enough, and the rest was a trial of them.

Although he is not a human being, he can't control the affairs of this world, but for some reason, he just can't get used to people like Fu Qiang and Zhou Caisheng, and he can't wait for himself to be a lion spirit at this time, just open his mouth and eat them.

Fu Qiang withdrew from his memories and glanced at the man, "I thought about that matter." But I don't know what you are looking for me for? ”

Fu Qiang had calmed down at this time, and he did not have the horror of seeing the man for the first time, but seemed to have taken a reassuring pill.

"I don't know what it means? You think about everything, and you say you don't know what it means? Are you fooling me? Fooling the hell? The man said indignantly, Fu Qiang was so ashamed, he didn't need to give him a chance.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, before Fu Qiang could react, the man disappeared.

………………

Fu Qiang recalled this, stared at Qin Xin and continued. "The man was gone, and he disappeared in an instant. I did get a little frightened, but then the drowsiness followed, and I didn't think much of it.

The next day, I felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn't pay much attention to it. When Master Gu came to see me, I pretended to be sick just to reassure him, but I didn't expect to see that man again that night.

As soon as he came in, he asked me straight how I was reflecting. I shook my head, and before I could speak, you saw the results, and even I didn't know it, and it became like this in an instant. ”

Fu Qiang remembered the moment before he remembered it, and continued, "At that time, before I fell asleep, I only heard the man say a word.

It should be your judgment, and no one is missing. ”

"What do you mean? Trial? Qin Xin said, "Judging what?" What about taxes? ”

Fu Qiang nodded, "But we have to think about this matter in the long run, this man is very strange, he can come and go, and I am afraid that we can't fight it with our ability, so we must take strict precautions." ”

Qin Xin suddenly thought of something and said, "The day you just fell unconscious, I found that someone was eavesdropping on the roof, and I ran out, but there was no one, could it be him." ”

"Quite possibly. This man behaves in a special way, and eavesdropping is probably very likely. But what are you doing here so late? Fu Qiang pricked up his ears and listened to the voice outside, "What, this is the Chinese New Year?" ”

"It's over on the first day of the Lunar New Year." Qin Xin said, "I came today for something important, the Yongfeng grain depot was burned down. ”

Fu Qiang's hand trembled, and the cup he was holding slipped from it, "You...... What did you just say? ”

Qin Xin lowered his head, his face showed guilt, and repeated what he had just said, "Yongfeng granary was burned by a fire. ”

"I hear that." Fu Qiang's voice trembled a little, "I'm asking you, how did it burn." ”

Qin Xin shook his head, "I don't know." There are no traces of man-made, I guess it will be caused by the dry weather, plus because of the Chinese New Year, the sparks of firecrackers fell. ”

"Impossible." Fu Qiang said angrily, "This Anqing is such a big territory, why did the sparks fall to Yongfeng." It must be artificial. ”

"Could that be the man you just mentioned, or Lord Gu. After all, only the two of them are targeting this matter at this time? Qin Xin said.

Fu Qiang only felt a terrible headache, why did he have to face messy things as soon as he woke up.

Why can't people be like they're asleep? Live only on the unbridled imagination of the brain.
