A family of three hid in a dilapidated house, looking at the heavy rain outside, and then looking at his sleeping wife and daughter, he was a little stunned, not knowing why this world suddenly became like this.

In the past years, although the officials were also powerful, at least no one dared to provoke a good family like him who had participated in the Han army.

He lived under Emperor Xiaowu as a teenager, and that was when their family was rising, because Emperor Xiaowu greatly improved the treatment of the Han army.

Although Emperor Xiaoding suffered a big defeat, the overall reputation was not bad.

But since his accession to the throne......

Wang San recalled the sudden tax increase, and the imperial court had to collect taxes according to the total value of assets.

But the value should be a convention between people, but the court has to collect taxes according to their calculations.

In order to give an explanation and performance to the officials, the officials naturally had to report to Gaoli in order to collect money from their own pockets, and they collected a lot of good businessmen like Wang San.

As for those businessmen who have backers, such as the princes, princes and kings or royal nobles in the county, those who are not willing to touch the mold will report normally.

After all, most of the princes were not willing to provoke the emperor at this time, so they could only give up some of their interests to ensure the greatest benefit, that is, to seal the country.

However, at present, no one has forced the liehou to report more, although each county guard has the intention of killing the town guard liehou, and the county guards can also do it, after all, the power of a county is far greater than the power of a county of liehou, but when the emperor is obviously biased towards the liehou, the county guards are still relatively safe.

Some royal nobles and relatives are closer to the emperor, and they are more bold than the princes, and it is nothing to report less.

For example, a shop, the difference between 100,000 yuan and 80,000 yuan is not big, no one will really come down to check a shop 1,000 miles away, as long as you don't report the outrageous figure of 40,000 yuan, no one will deduct it.

Wang San felt a little sad, when did he have to take refuge in the princes to avoid being exploited by the court?

"Click."

Wang San woke up suddenly, this is the voice of the horse team, he used to be the Han army, the sound of the horse's hooves is majestic and powerful, it is very likely to be a war horse!

Who would ride a horse in such weather?

Wang San didn't know who it would be, but he wanted to leave, and at such a moment, he didn't want any accidents.

But the look of anxiety immediately appeared on his face, it was heavy rain outside, and he couldn't get out at all, and his daughter was still young, if it was raining, it was almost impossible to get through.

In desperation, he could only hold the sword and quietly wait for an unknown fate to come.

There was a slightly noisy sound outside, and Wang San listened quietly.

"Childe, this is an abandoned village, depending on the situation, it should be a relocation of the village."

"Quickly let the brothers go into the house to rest, drink all the medicine and ginger soup they brought, collect the dry things in the house, bake the clothes, and be sure not to catch the cold."

"Whoa!"

The faint conversation reached Wang San's ears, making his body relax slightly, at least it was not someone sent by the imperial court to arrest him, listening to the conversation seemed to be a powerful person's trip.

"There's someone here!"

Wang San raised his eyes and saw that it was an extremely tall strong man, and at first glance he was a warrior who was extremely strong.

Wang San and his wife and daughter were taken away by the samurai, and when they went to see the leader of this group, their hearts were full of apprehension.

The moment they stepped into the house, Wang San's family of three was stunned, it was raining heavily, the light in this room was not very good, it could even be said to be a little dark, the only light source was the flint brought by this line of warriors and hit an oil lamp.

But Wang San's family of three clearly saw the person in front of them.

It was a very handsome man, who seemed to be in his twenties, but he looked at the vicissitudes of life, he sat quietly in the room and looked at Wang San's family of three, and the stigma on his eyebrows seemed to bloom with infinite light in the misty yellow light.

Stigmata!

Wang San felt that he must be dazzled, but how could that feeling go wrong?

His whole body was trembling, Childe, Childe, it turned out to be Gongzi Zhao!

Great and Supreme King, have you awakened from your slumber and come to our rescue?

"Poof!"

Wang San and his wife knelt directly on the ground, with an endless roar in his voice, and cried loudly: "King Su is above, son, help!" ”

All the suppressed emotions burst out, and after seeing Luo Sheng, it seemed to see a beam of light in the deep despair, and the surging emotions could no longer be controlled, and they rolled out completely, and even Luo Sheng was startled.

The little girl saw that her parents were crying, so she also cried, and two lines of tears flowed on her little face, which made people feel distressed, even if they were the tough-minded warriors around her, they couldn't help but feel sad.

Luo Sheng looked at the little girl with a surprised gaze, he felt a trace of quality from this little girl, and retracted his inquiring gaze to look at the three Wang San and his wife who were kneeling on the ground.

Let them be helped up first, and then they will be questioned carefully.

Wang San told all about what had happened to him, and the daring warriors around him were furious, but he didn't expect the officials outside Zhaocheng to be so dark.

Although it was Wang San's one-sided words, Luo Sheng actually believed it in his heart.

Because this is very realistic, but even if he has already believed it, he still decided to go and see it for himself if he has the good habit of listening to it and listening to it carefully.

Moreover, he came all the way from Hexi to see what the world would become under these policies.

Now Wang San's experience is very typical, and this kind of thing is definitely not just him, but the experience of countless people.

"When the rain stops, let's go to the county."

Luo Sheng ordered, Wang San's family was taken to another house to rest, as well as medicine to prevent wind and cold and ginger soup, after Wang San left, the housekeeper came forward and said in a low voice: "Son, if you go to the county to investigate this matter, is it more low-key?"

The minister was worried that some officials would jump over the wall in a hurry and take risks. ”

Luo Sheng was a little silent when he heard this, and the housekeeper's words were actually a theory among Luo's, which was called "Luo's Countercurrent Law".

The name of the concept is taken from the phrase "sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat", which mainly means that as a dynasty lasts longer, even if the Rocks do nothing, there will be more and more enemies.

When a dynasty was created, the emperor was wise and martial, caring for the people, and most of the courtiers were honest and honest, and they could restrain their greed.

But as the dynasty lasts longer, the government is corrupted, the powerful are corrupted, and the world is as black as a crow, the white feathers of the Luo clan will become more and more eye-catching.

In particular, Luo's is not willing to be with the light, but is still maverick, in the eyes of many people, Luo's is alive, they can't live, they can't enjoy.

The current Han Dynasty has not yet come to this point, at least the degeneration of the nobility has not been so fast, the balance between the royal family, the princes and the princes is maintained very well, and the princes are still thinking about fighting to maintain their wealth and nobility, and they have not yet extended their claws to the ordinary people.

But the officials are different, most of these people are from the county and county heroes, and they don't need to worry about the disappearance of the feudal country every day like the princes and princes.

In a power field, it will never be the momentary power that holds power, but those who hold the power position for a long time.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties of later generations, many of those county magistrates were set up by Xu officials, if they were willing to be with the light, they could still stay for three or five years.

If you want to do something, then you have to see whose means are higher, if there is someone in the court to protect it, then you can still leave in disgrace, if there is no one to protect it, you will directly pick up the official skin, and even lose your life.

Look at the Lu family and Anyang Han family, who are now friends with Luo's, etc., and ask Luo's opinion on many things to see if it touches Luo's bottom line.

The good thing about Lu is that he is more clear about the bottom line of Rockwell.

Anyang Han's family is a little worse, but Anyang Hou often runs to Zhaocheng, and after so many years, he hasn't done anything wrong.

Luo's family is completely different from the Yuan family of the Three Kingdoms, the appeal and prestige of the Yuan family is not because of the fourth and third dukes, what is the third duke in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who doesn't know?

The Yuan family formed a huge community of interests when he served as the third prince, and this interest group was headed by the Yuan family, which was the source of Yuan's appeal.

In other words, it is because Yuan, the leading brother, is good and can share benefits to his subordinates, and what the emperor is unwilling to give, Yuan can give, which is the source of Yuan's prestige.

But can Rocky give the powerful officials what they want?

No!

How can those two sides who are completely different from Rock's and have diametrically opposite interests walk on the same path?

In the past hundred years, it is an indisputable fact that there are more and more people in the world who worship Luo's and dislike Luo's more and more.

This is the reason why Luo Wujian wanted to transfer the daring warriors to the Western Regions before, and the people in the family were a little worried, because under the thriving appearance of the family, there was a crisis that gradually appeared, and it was an irreconcilable crisis.

The only way to do this is to shuffle the cards, renew the chaos in the world, and purge all the degenerate bureaucrats and aristocrats, but in reality, the situation does not have to end there.

At least for now, no one has dared to do anything to Rockwell.

Luo Sheng thought a lot, was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "The family is at its peak, there is no sign yet, you can't hesitate because of the possible danger, you still have to go and see, but check the horses and weapons, tell the clansmen, be vigilant." ”

"Whoa!"

Seeing Luo Sheng's insistence, the housekeeper responded softly.

Big brothers, there is less verification, I'm afraid, the floor is deleted layer by layer, I really don't mean that, I just write something about the content of the book.

I decided, and then I would write two opposite conclusions, so that there should be less verification.
