"That was a long time ago, so long ago that I almost forgot about that time when my sister did"

Walking in Xiangqin Xuan as if he was wandering, Xu Yuan followed Lou Ji and quietly listened to her tell about the past.

Lou Ji's voice was still light-hearted with the smile of the past, but today Xu Yuan heard a hint of other meaning from this smile.

Tonight, she was a little sad.

The light of that sword still stretched across the sky.

The rockery is covered with frost, the blue pond is icy, and the snow is silent.

The two walked slowly.

Xu Yuan tried to understand the stories experienced by the previous generation, but what he obtained was extremely limited.

Most of the information has been distorted.

Just as what is recorded in the history books is not necessarily the true history, or for the sake of reputation, or secrecy, or for some other reason, there are many conflicts between the written records of the previous generation and the internal references of the Xiangfu that Xu Yuan read.

The internal references of the Prime Minister's Office that he read will not be falsified, so those official records must be fake, and although the internal references of the Prime Minister's Office can be authentic, the content is limited.

It only records some complicated fragments of time in the past, although Xu Yuan vaguely glimpsed a corner of the story of the year, but that's all, and it is not even as comprehensive as the information obtained from chatting with those high-level officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion at home.

Tonight is the first time Xu Yuan has fully understood this old lady's past.

Lou Ji's background is actually not low, and even in this feudal dynasty, it can already be said that she is a person who far surpasses the people of Limin.

Her father served as a transfer envoy for the military reserve department in Wuling City in Pinghuai.

A proper child of a family.

Converted to the previous life, at least it is a positive place.

As far as Xu Yuan's understanding of the official system of Dayan is concerned, no matter what kind of government subordinate the transfer envoy is, it is fat.

After all, even in the previous life with modern management and monitoring methods, places like warehousing were the hardest hit areas of corruption, not to mention this feudal dynasty with closed information at the bottom.

Moreover, before the current saint and the prime minister rectified the rule of officials, the huge Great Yan Dynasty had actually decayed to the roots, and there was basically no real clean official.

And Lou Ji did not hide this, she smiled and told about the embezzlement methods she had seen her father use when she was a child, her impression of the middle-aged fat man with a big belly, and how her home was destroyed after the flood.

In the thirty-ninth year of Yongqing, the seventh year after Xu Yinhe entered Beijing, Lou Ji had just turned five years old in January.

After more than 70 days of rainfall in Pinghuai Prefecture, the waterlogging broke the embankment in the upper reaches of Luoshui, and the behemoth flood that slanted down hit Wuling County in the lower reaches of Luoshui, and millions of people were directly displaced as refugees overnight.

In times of great disaster, the imperial court will mobilize troops to rush to the disaster area, in order to provide disaster relief, but also to prevent the germination of thieves.

And in this case, the middle-aged fat man with a big belly was naturally ordered to raise military rations and a series of armaments and materials because of his official position.

In Lou Ji's words, the flood was both a crisis and an opportunity for her family.

"During that time, I often didn't see my father in the house for a few days, he was a corrupt official, but he was a corrupt official who did practical things, at first every time he came back from the rain, his face was sad except for seriousness, but then gradually I began to feel a sense of relief from him.

"It wasn't until he came home in the rain that he picked me up with a smile as soon as he came, and told my mother that his exploits in dealing with the flood were favored by the big people in the court, and there was a high probability that he would be promoted in the big exam next year."

"At that time, I didn't know about promotion, but I did know that for the first time, the house, which had been lifeless since the beginning of the floods, was a little alive."

“.”

Xu Yuan listened quietly, did not speak, did not interrupt, but already knew what was going to happen next in his heart.

It's not because of Lou Ji's previous words about Granny Long, but because he has seen this matter in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The flood of Yongqing in the 39th year was not so much a natural disaster as a man-made disaster.

Lou Ji glanced at Xu Yuan lightly, and said with a smile:

"It seems. Have you read that internal reference for a long time? ”

Xu Yuan nodded silently.

"Oh yes, that flood was a natural disaster, but it was also a man-made disaster, involving some important ministers in the court, and also involved some sect disputes, but my father stupidly felt that he was taken advantage of, and the result naturally does not need to be said."

As she spoke, Lou Ji was silent for a while, her beautiful eyes were half-narrowed, and her slender eyelashes trembled slightly:

"At that time, the court was really too far away from us, and people who were far away only needed one word to shatter my home."

In the forty years of Yongqing, Xu Yinhe entered Beijing for the eighth year, and Lou Ji was six years old.

Wuling Cheng Jun Chu Division transferred Lou Qingwu to regard Shu Li as a mustard, and was put on death row with his own pockets.

It was also from that moment that

There is one less eldest lady in the world of Lou Mansion in Wuling City, and there is also an ignorant little girl named Lou Ji.

After a long journey, Lou Ji's mother died on the way, and she had to learn to survive alone in this world.

She learned to disguise, she learned to please, she learned how to kill people with her thin body and bright brain.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the side of the old lady's face.

Murder at six?

Ruthless people are really made from childhood.

Lou Ji didn't care at all.

The journey is really long, and the choice between the death of others and the life of oneself is not difficult.

She calmly told what she was thinking when she was only six years old:

"I persevered all the way, because I knew that I was different from those people, I was beautiful and smart, as long as I persevered to the teaching department, I would soon get the best treatment, and then climb up step by step, until I saw the "big man" who decided the life and death of my family."

"Revenge?"

"Old-fashioned reasons?"

"At that time, you should need a reason to live."

“.”

Lou Ji was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then her red lips raised lightly:

"yes. Reasons to live. ”

This was Lou Ji's idea at that time, but bad luck picked on the hard-working people, and the hemp rope was broken in detail.

She didn't enter the Sect Division of Di'an City as she had hoped, because they had encountered a demon plague on the way.

The prison guards were defeated by the demon beast, and they quickly dispersed, leaving more than 20 open-air prisoner cars along the way exposed under the sharp teeth of the demon beast.

Lou Ji said that when she watched the demon beast walk towards the prison car she was in, she was not frightened or panicked in her heart, because she felt that she could survive.

exchanged the lives of other female dependents in the same car for their own survival.
