The fourth uncle's forehead was full of wrinkles, his eyes were deep, showing a bit of pride, a little bit of refusal to admit defeat, and a bit of hatred. If it weren't for Zhu Di's martyrdom, he would only be afraid that he would have become a general now, where would he still be a ploughman with a hoe in both hands.

Ascending to the heights, resisting Zhu Di, avenging Jianwen, and resisting the oppression of the government, he didn't think about it.

I can't live today, who cares what tomorrow will be? Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's words are very incendiary, princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?

Chen Yuan sympathized with them very much, the government bullied them year after year, and the people were miserable. I don't know the suffering of the people, so I will say, "The people have no food to eat, why don't they eat meat porridge".

However, Zhu Di's Ming Dynasty is mighty in the desert, subduing hundreds of departments, with a vast territory, a vast territory, a vast land and strong soldiers, and a small land in Shizhou.

Chen Yuan said coldly: "I don't need to prove anything, and I don't need your trust. ”

The fourth uncle was stunned, and his eyes were blazing at Chen Yuan.

He didn't want to think about it, they were the ones who suffered, Chen Yuan did things with his heart, sympathized with them, and showed them a clear way, it was impossible to beg them.

"Fighting a war is a real fight of strength, weapons, money and food, soldiers, knowledgeable generals, and unity, but it is not something that can be wiped out by shaking a feather fan and talking and laughing. The strength is not good, even if Zhuge Wuhou is only able to flee everywhere. ”

The light in the fourth uncle's eyes dimmed, what Chen Yuan said, he knew something about it. Just now, I was just driven into a desperate situation, and I just had some fantasies, rebelled, and hit the stone with an egg.

His attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee: "Chen Gongzi, I know that you have an extraordinary background, and please save the people of Shizhou." ”

Chen Yuan was taken aback by his actions, and hurriedly said, "Fourth Uncle Meng, get up and speak, you are a tormented boy like this." ”

"If you want to avenge your grievances, go to Lord Qincha, I have no right or position, and it is impossible to help you."

"We have lived in Shizhou for a long time, many people have never gone out in their lives, where do we know what Lord Qincha, he came from Nanjing, I don't know if he will be like Wu Yingde, drive us to death. A few years ago, we could barely live, but in the past two years, Wu Yingde has intensified his efforts and changed his methods to collect taxes. Three endowments a year and four endowments are not to be said. After the collection is over, they have to use various names to make extortion, and various officials and lords build Buddhist temples, do big birthdays, and hold church meetings, and the people of the whole state have to donate gifts. Whoever donates less will be given more! Over the years, the land in Shizhou has been scraped off by them. The villagers are all miserable, and it can be said that the people are not happy. ”

"Then no one cares?"

"Who's in charge?" Fourth Uncle Meng said helplessly and sadly, "You have also seen it, roadblocks are set up everywhere, and we can't get out of Shizhou Mansion at all, this is Wu Yingde's world." Even the emperor of the capital city was not at ease with him. ”

Chen Yuan was silent for a long time, feeling a little strange, as everyone knows, Zhu Yuanzhang hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials very much, he was born in a poor family, and he once became a monk. He has witnessed the corruption and oppression of officials in the Yuan Dynasty, and he is resentful of it. Officials have standards for eating, drinking, housing, and transportation, and if anyone dares to commit a crime against the wind, they will not be able to eat and walk around. In order to severely punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, a lot of torture has been invented, such as skinning people and Ling Chi.

Zhu Yuanzhang left the Emperor Ming ancestral teachings, and there are also explanations on how future generations can deal with corrupt officials, Zhu Di has always respected Zhu Yuanzhang and strictly abided by the emperor's ancestral teachings, he used a lot of cool officials, such as Chen Ying and Ji Gang, but in the end he also brutally killed them.

Under such circumstances, why did Wu Yingde, a prefect, dare to cover the sky with one hand and commit a crime against the wind.

"Fourth uncle, the imperial court's envoy has arrived, but when one of us finally saw him, he drove us away before we could finish speaking." Huohua rushed in.

Ergou and four or five teenagers, they came in, and saw that the fourth uncle had great respect for Chen Yuan, and looked at him with fierce eyes, if his eyes could kill, Chen Yuan would have died hundreds of times.

Fourth Uncle Meng's heart was half cold, and the hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again. He looked desperate.

Chen Yuan was also shocked, he has been following Kuang Yu recently, judging from the conversation, he is a kind person, so he didn't just enter the city for half a day, and forget about the people's lives and deaths, Zhu Di is so unreliable in employing people? I don't know what went wrong.

"Fourth uncle, we can't wait any longer, wait any longer, the villagers in the prison have already been tortured to death, so they simply don't do it, they don't stop fighting, they kill the surname Wu, and they turn against him."

"Shut up." Fourth Uncle Meng shouted, his eyes circled, and several teenagers lowered their heads.

"Huohua, you go out first."

"Fourth Uncle—"

"Get out!"

Huohua pointed at Chen Yuan and said angrily: "If it weren't for him, we would have slaughtered Wu Santian today." He definitely said that the officials and bandits are in a gang, and the officials and bandits do all kinds of evil, and if we kill him, as long as we are single-minded, we may not be able to kill Wu Yingde to take revenge. Several people were ignited by his words, and stared at Chen Yuan with fire.

"Go out, what's the matter, don't you even listen to the fourth uncle?"

They sighed angrily and reluctantly went out.

"Two dogs stay."

The two dogs with big shoulders and thick waists stayed, and they didn't look at Chen Yuan well.

"Don't be rude to nobles." The fourth uncle reproached Ergou, and said to Chen Yuan, "His father's surname is Fan, and he was the former Lizheng, who was forced by Wu Yingde to be fierce, and he didn't want to be with them, so he died of hunger and cold." ”

Speaking of his parents, Ergou's eyes instantly turned red and he lowered his head and sobbed. The fists clenched and creaked.

"His father took me in before, and I was like a brother to Ergou's father, so they called me the fourth uncle."

The man has tears and does not flick, and the revenge of his parents cannot be avenged, it can be seen how much pain this man endures in his heart, Chen Yuan said to him: "Brother Fan, I understand your feelings, everyone hates Wu Yingde, but you must protect yourself first, if you take an extreme way, you will fall into Wu Yingde's arms, the relatives are painful, and the enemies are fast, please believe me, I am also from Nanjing, I know how much Kuang is a person, and I will never be in the same stream with Wu Yingde and others, as for his reaction today, I am afraid that there will be any hardships." ”

"You put it mildly, what do you think you are? I also know the personality of Lord Chincha. My second dog has never had the opportunity to go to school, but he knows the word conscience, don't you see it, he and Wu Yingde are so good that they wear a pair of pants, our people go to avenge their grievances, he doesn't think about it, he directly asks people to beat them out with sticks, officials protect each other, and they are dog officials. ”

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, can you do things reliably, Wu Yingde has played your rebellion, do you want to find Qin in private, in front of Wu Yingde, what can Master Kuang do. He brought a few people, and there were Wu Yingde's people everywhere.

"Brother Fan, if you believe me, I will give you an explanation tonight."

Fourth Uncle Meng and Fan Ergou looked at him blankly, seeing that his eyes were firm, and it didn't look like he was lying.

"What did you say?"

Chen Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, but tonight, as long as you believe me, you can watch a good show." ”
