This was told to them by an old man on the side of the road.

According to the old man, many people died that year, especially the most people died on the mountain, and the water flowing down the mountain the next morning was red, and it made people panic when they looked at it, and no one dared to go to the mountain to see it.

"There are a few daring ones."

The old man pouted and said, "I heard that the mountains are full of broken hands and feet, with heads hanging from trees and eyes wide open, all of them are dead people. ”

Yu Hongjin's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was a little scared: "This, it's so scary......"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, it's all true." ”

Rue Xiang asked, "What about people like the old man?" ”

The old man said: "We are nothing, after the King of Jin came, he just looted some money and left, alas, anyway, it is not a good thing, some of the money that has been saved for most of his life has been swept away, and many people have died, but isn't it like this in wars, if King Xiao won back then, those people in Jin would also suffer such a thing." ”

Yu Hongjin muttered: "It's like this in wars......"

This has been the case since ancient times.

The city is not fought for nothing, so naturally some interest must be charged, otherwise where will the settlement fee of the dead soldiers come from? Where does the pay come from? It can't really be all paid by the prince.

Rue Xiang said: "I heard that Qingshan City was occupied by the rebels back then. ”

Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "There is such a thing, Ah Qing's father also left during that time. ”

Rue Xiang sighed and said, "It's a big mess, and it's the people who suffer in the end, and they don't have a choice at all. ”

The old man smiled and said: "Hey, we ordinary people, just those noble people in the mouth, are all just a cheap life, it's not bad to live, where do you still think about so many things." ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a while, and then asked, "Then compared to King Xiao, how is King Jin?" ”

The old man thought for a while, but shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not much worse, those who are in charge of taxes will still collect more, and those military masters are just as shameless as they are, but they are just a group of people, shock, those rules and regulations are all on the surface, where can I manage this secret thing, aren't they all like this now." ”

It's all too commonplace.

The cat meowed and winked at the old man.

The old man smiled back, trying to silence the cat's head, but was avoided by it, and the old man didn't say anything, but thought the cat was very interesting.

He stopped teasing the cat, turned his head and said: "It's good to get used to it, I think my life is too smooth before, so this old age is a little ominous, as the saying goes, crying is laughing, I just laughed, and then I was left crying, and now the tears of crying are gone, and I will get used to it." ”

Chen Changsheng looked at the old man and asked, "I think that the old man should also be a figure with a head and a face when he is young. ”

The old man smiled and said, "What do you say about the old man, aren't you also an old man?" ”

Chen Changsheng reacted at this time, touched his beard, and nodded.

The old man continued: "But don't say that when I was young, everyone knew about me, and I was really a figure with a head and a face. ”

"I haven't asked the old man for his name yet." Chen Changsheng said.

Then I heard the old man say: "My surname is Gao, the gentleman in the village gave me the word 'Jujie', at that time I was a little more withdrawn, Mr. should be my father's words, he took such a word, and in the years that followed, I did make a lot of friends." ”

Rue Xiang reacted when she heard these two words, and said, "You are the Jinshi of the Two Dynasties?" ”

Gao Jujie was stunned for a moment, "I didn't expect you to hear of me, sister?" ”

Rue Xiang said: "In the early years of the family's business, I also knew a thing or two about various places. ”

Gao Jujie nodded and said, "Okay, well, my horizons are broad, I have seen a lot of things less in my life, and it's a pity to think about it." ”

"The ...... of the Jinshi of the Two Dynasties"

The old man said: "When I was young, I was at the end of the Jing Dynasty, at that time I was really hard to study, from the township examination all the way to the student examination, straight to the name of Jinshi, but unfortunately, I have not yet taken office, Dajing died, the world changes, and no one cares about such a former dynasty Jinshi, and besides, I was young and frivolous at that time, my heart was full of hatred of the family and country, and in front of me, I did not want to be a tiger, so I stopped, returned to the township, and started to teach. ”

"The new lord in the county is quite fond of me, when I am a guest, I don't like this person very much, but then I was also moved by him, so I often chatted with him, if it wasn't for the grievances of the family and the country, I could become good friends with him......"

Speaking of this, the old man's tone was stagnant, his expression was a little stunned, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything more.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, it's all a bit of the past."

He smiled and said, "As the saying goes, among all the sufferings in the world, only the past hurts the most. ”

Chen Changsheng and the others were also interested and did not ask again.

The old man picked up his hoe and said, "I'm going to see you soon." ”

He went out into the country field, where he seemed to have his field to cultivate.

Rue Xiang looked at it from a distance and said: "Later, the official palace became superior, he re-entered the imperial examination, and wanted to help the official family, at that time he was already in his fifties, not as good as he used to be, but his hard work is not comparable to ordinary people, after the official family broke the dark box operation of the Jing people for the official, he was admitted to the Jinshi again in the same year, and the examination was a Jinshi, after many years, he was also able to be admitted to the Jinshi, and this person's talent can be seen to be different." ”

"The official family also once said that I have a virtuous talent, spanning more than 30 years, and seeing me is the favor of God. The official family spoke of him particularly highly, and later entrusted him with important tasks, but the next year, the official family died, the court was in chaos, under a testament, the court was divided into hundreds of officials, and the tall people were unwilling to join these people, so they simply took off their official hats, resigned and returned to their hometowns, and no longer cared about the affairs of the court. ”

Chen Changsheng paused and said, "In his life, he can also be called a legend. ”

Rue Xiang said: "It's a pity that the legend doesn't last long, and it's all about making people by saying more." ”

Far away.

The former master Jinshi is now turning over the land in the field, and his body looks particularly thin, and he doesn't know how many hardships he has endured over the years.

He should have been radiant, but now he was stepping on the mud.

Chen Changsheng was in a trance, as if he had seen something, and said: "He still has luck in his fate, and he won't be buried like this." ”

Rue Xiang was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled.
