Due to the crisis contact of the 300,000 iron horsemen in Dadu, they even took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with Nanyue, and even said that they would pay tribute to Nanyue every year. On the night before the Nantian Festival, Emperor Yan came to amnesty, and the whole country celebrated and the whole people carnivaled.

Luoyun City, the national capital, regardless of the streets and alleys, is full of festive red lanterns everywhere, and the lights are colorful, so lively. Along the moat at the entrance of the palace, the lights are bright, and the crowds are crowded to admire, and the painting boats cruising back and forth on the river are picturesque.

Tonight's Luoyun City is not closed, and most of them are like Nanyue paying tribute and establishing diplomatic relations. Like a spring breeze blowing on the earth, everyone knows it at this time. Coupled with the opening of the Nantian Festival, all kinds of people, enjoying the scenery alone, in pairs, or in groups, all of them are filled with a warm spring-like atmosphere. Tonight all the people will be partying all night.

The lights of Falling Cloud City are brilliant, illuminating the carnival of the night, and the enthusiasm is like fire. The hustle and bustle outside the Peach Blossom Courtyard broke the tranquility of the two people in the courtyard.

"Shall we go out and breathe?"

She nodded.

Whether it was him or her, this lively scene seemed to be a long, long time away. Although a foreign country is not a hometown, it is inevitable that there will still be a feeling: and recognize another country as a hometown.

Chen Changfeng took Yang Xiaofu's hand and stepped out of the gate of the Peach Blossom Courtyard. The two walked side by side, trying to walk in the direction of the crowded moat.

Yang Xiaofu looked at this lively scene, and vaguely remembered a small incident that happened during the Lantern Festival when he was four years old.

When he was young that year, he was the most famous little bully in the vicinity of the north and south provinces of Qingfeng City in his hometown. Every time she went to her father's academy, she could hear many "heroic" deeds about him.

I remember that the day after the end of the Lantern Festival that year, the disciples of the academy talked about his "heroic" feat last night, and their faces were full of "admiration". There are even those who are several years older than him, and after hearing what happened last night, they also have a look of adoration.

She knew that he had two good friends, one was named Lin Rong and the other was Tong Xiaocai. Lin Rong is honest, and the other Tong Xiaocai is full of ghost ideas, and there are as many as cow hair.

In the southeast of the end of the north-south road in his hometown, there is a place called Fangjia Village. There are about 100 households there, and it is the most remote and poorest place in the entire Qingfeng City. There are no high-rise buildings, no traffic, and basically some low-rise mud houses. The common people there make a living from farming, and they all grow some miscellaneous grains, fruits, vegetables, etc. Every morning, the villagers would push their carts to deliver goods to the noble princes and generals in the city. Whenever the money is settled at the end of the month, it is often deducted and oppressed by those princes and generals in the mansion and those housekeepers.

There is a family surnamed Fang in the village, and the man seems to be called Fang Biyou. I heard that when Fang Biyou was more than halfway through the year, he married a daughter-in-law from a foreign country, and the daughter-in-law was still a little beautiful, and her head was probably not good. That year, they had a three-year-old daughter with big eyes and skinny eyes, and I heard that she had some strange disease. The Fang family was bullied by a large family, and the money from selling melons, fruits and vegetables could not be returned, and when they argued with others, they were broken by the nursing home of the big family. Her daughter-in-law, who has a bad head, can still help pick up some leftovers when she is in a good state, and when she is in a bad state, she can only cry silently on the side. This poor father and daughter had no money to heal, so they could only lie in bed pitifully every day, day by day, as if waiting for death.

—————

There was still a short distance from the moat, Yang Xiaofu stopped, looked at Chen Changfeng, and stopped talking.

"What do you want to say?" Chen Changfeng looked at her appearance and smiled.

"Can you tell me about the incident that burned Fangjia Village when you were five years old?" Yang Xiaofu looked at him curiously, and couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"

"I remember that night's Lantern Festival, it was also as lively as this," and then Yang Xiaofu then said curiously: "That incident, my father praised you for doing the right thing, and also said that you have the unparalleled talent of the country." I didn't understand it at the time, but now I want to hear you tell me in person. ”

Chen Changfeng looked at Yang Xiaofu affectionately, and felt her little white hands tighten. Then I remembered the little thing that happened back then.

In Qingfeng City, the heavily guarded Qingshui Road is a mansion built by hundreds of military officials of the imperial court on both sides of the street.

One day before the Lantern Festival that year, Xiaocai, the gentleman boy from the Horse Mansion, sneaked out of the house and ran in the direction of my house. When he passed by, he happened to see the man who often went to the general's mansion next door early in the morning to deliver some fruits and vegetables.

The general's surname is used for a single name, and it is useless for what is used, and he is just doing some sycophancy. However, the housekeepers and subordinates in the general's mansion are all pretending to be powerful and arrogant.

The farmer named Fang Biyou didn't know what the reason was, and he was forced to break his legs by the dozen or so generals of the Great General's Mansion. The farmer seemed to be determined to die, and knelt at the gate of the general's mansion covered in blood. Maybe he was too honest and thought that General He, who was the name used, would make the decision for him.

But he is honest, if you let that high-flying and domineering person see him like this. It is estimated that with his habits, it is not too much of a problem to slash Fang Biyou with a knife. It is estimated that many officials in the court also turn one eye open and close one eye.

When Tong Xiaocai came to my house, he told me about this tragic incident, and I didn't know what he was thinking at the time, so I asked him to take me to see it, and halfway, he called Lin Rong, who was quite energetic at that time.

By the time we passed, Fang Biyou had already fainted at the gate of the General's Mansion. There weren't many people on the street that day. It may be that the housekeeper of the General's Mansion thinks that if that party dies at this gate in the first month, it will be a little unlucky. Then the housekeeper found a fellow farmer, threw a dozen taels of silver to the man, and asked him to send the fainted Fang Biyou "back".

After Fang Biyou's fellow villagers carried Fang Biyou out of the clear water channel, when they saw no one on the way, they abandoned Fang Biyou, who was still unconscious, in a dry well, and then ran away. This is a human life, and it is worth more than a dozen taels of silver.

We happened to see this at the time, and luckily a few good Samaritans who passed by passed by later, so we called them to help rescue him. Then I asked the nurse in our Chen family's mansion to send him to see the doctor first, and then send him home.

That day, in Fang Biyou's house with four walls, we saw your fellow villager who threw Fang Biyou into the well, it was an obscene-looking bachelor named Yellow Ape, carrying a roast chicken, and came to visit him with hypocrisy. Of course...... On that day, there were many people from the village who sympathized with Fang Biyou's encounter, and they also came to care about it.

Later, through understanding, I learned that the yellow ape, who was about to be forty years old, had coveted Fang Biyou's daughter-in-law who was quite beautiful and had a bad head for a long time. There are also those people in the village who came to care about Fang Biyou, most of them suffered the same as Fang Biyou. But how the poor people fought with the officials, they all gritted their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs. If it weren't for that party Biyou, he really wouldn't have enough money to heal his sick daughter. He definitely didn't have the guts to have a conflict with the butler of the General's Mansion who was threatening him to sell vegetables for half a year......

At that time, our family's martial arts guard was with us, and I felt that this kind of bad guy who harmed the villagers should be punished, as well as those dog minions who were fake and powerful...... You know, this is a family affair for the officials and masters of the entire Xijing Kingdom......

And then I thought of one, a prank that I thought was wonderful.

"And then you're going to steal other people's chickens during the Lantern Festival?" Yang Xiao interrupted him with a smile and a small mouth.

Chen Changfeng looked at her depressedly, shook his head and said, "Don't talk about this, the painting boat parade in front of the moat is about to start." ”

"No, if you don't finish speaking, I'll bite you" Yang Xiaofu said anxiously. Looking at him touching his face, he seemed to remember something, lowered his head, twisted and pinched, a little embarrassed.

Chen Changfeng squinted his eyes and crossed his waist to admire her cute appearance, and the little girl in the pink skirt who liked to puff out her cheeks and give him white eyes as soon as she met in her memory seemed to be gradually moving away. Yang Xiaofu, who is left to him now, is like a slightly drunk beauty, peerless and isolated.

I like it, I just like it more than I used to!

The two of them found a pavilion and sat down......

At that time, I asked the nursing home to secretly leave a few people to quietly protect the poor Fang Biyou until the night of the Lantern Festival.....

As you know afterwards, on the night of the Lantern Festival, the villagers of Fangjia Village went to see the lanterns near the entrance of the palace. Tong Xiaocai and Lin Rong and I, in the name of stealing chickens and dogs, pretended to accidentally start a fire, and first burned the weedy haystack in Fangjia Village.

At the time, I estimated how fast the fire would spread. Can you let the person with the highest power in the palace, when he goes out to enjoy the lanterns, he pretends to love the people like a son and enjoy the people with the people.

It is estimated that the hundreds of mud houses were burned, and even if the belongings were compensated, it would not be worth a few dollars.

It also estimates the reaction of those oppressed villagers near the palace when they see their homes burned down and they are homeless.

I also thought about all the consequences that this fire incident could cause.

And in the whole village, only Fang Biyou's family stayed at home that night, and the rest of the families dragged their families out to play, as long as their family was free of worries and did not hurt anyone's life, other problems that could be solved with silver taels were fine.

That night, in the southeast of Qingfeng City, the flames were blazing.

That night, hundreds of homeless villagers cried in front of Emperor Zhao.

That night, hundreds of low-level ordinary people, in front of the emperor surnamed Zhao, dared to kneel down to avenge their grievances.

That night, from the beginning to the end of the Fang Biyou incident, the villagers of Fangjia Village suffered from bureaucratic oppression, and the yellow ape and other incidents surfaced......

Afterwards, the emperor surnamed Zhao was forced by public opinion. The general Wu Yong was demoted, and several beaters from the general's mansion and the yellow ape and others were personally interrogated and dealt with by the prefect. The villagers of Fangjia Village also got back the arrears that had been in arrears for a long time.

The final result of the investigation of the incident, the cause of this series of things, is just three stubborn gentlemen, taking advantage of the Lantern Festival when everyone is not at home, stealing a chicken, and then roasting it there, carelessly, burning that poor poor village......

At the end of the incident, the Chen family compensated a lot of silver, of course, the rich Chen family was more than a dime a dozen for this compensation.

Helped Fang Biyou's family to cure the disease, helped hundreds of villagers rebuild houses, and then helped the villagers of Fangjia Village to build a unified farmers' market, no longer have to do those door-to-door delivery and be oppressed by others.

On the second day of the Lantern Festival that year, Chen Changfeng and the three of them stole a chicken and "mistakenly" burned the entire Fangjia Village, and the entire Qingfeng City knew about it......

"So, this series of events was planned by you?" Yang Xiaofu said in shock.

Chen Changfeng smiled and looked at Yang Xiaofu, who was full of surprise, shrugged his shoulders, and acted innocent.

"Planning the fate of all the bureaucrats who worked for the tiger, even knowing that the homeless villagers dared to avenge their grievances in front of Emperor Zhao surnamed Dog, and a series of response measures after the incident.......... You were only five years old at the time...... no wonder my dad said you ...... That's right...... Say you're a talented countryman......"

Yang Xiaofu was incredulous, and looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, this Chen Changfeng, who had been looking at her with a smile, as if he had re-acquainted him.

"It seems that you must have pretended to be injured that night....... Let me carry you on my back...... And then you ........"

Then she seemed to remember something...... Laughing and rushing over.......

Someone yelled and screamed....... "it hurts....... "it hurts", ........ "it hurts"
