Chapter 695: Purgatory on Earth

How can it be so easy to distinguish between right and wrong? There are some things that cannot be distinguished from right and wrong by different standpoints. It can only be said that everyone's perspective is different, that's all, there is no right or wrong.

Zhang Bairen was lying on the bed weakly, looking at the top of the big tent with a pair of eyes, Zhang Lihua sat beside Zhang Bairen with a distressed face, and kept saying words of relief: "Sir, this is not your fault, Mr. has good intentions and wants to work for the benefit of all people." What's more, if there is no imperial examination, all rights are in the hands of the gate valve family, and ordinary people don't even have that glimmer of life. What's more, Mr. created paper and printing, and countless books were published all over the world, and ordinary people got this glimmer of vitality It was too late to thank Mr., so how could they blame Mr. ”

said so, the truth is so true, but Zhang Bairen is still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Time does not depend on human will, and the wheels of the Great Sui Dynasty are constantly rolling.

After the New Year, Yang Guang began to toss again. Since last year, he plotted against Goryeo, Zhaoshan Dongzhi Mansion, and ordered horses to be raised for military service.

The people were also sent to transport rice, accumulated in Luhe and Huaiyuan two towns, the carts and cattle did not return, more than half of the soldiers died, the cultivation was lost, and the fields were deserted. Coupled with the famine, the price of grain is very expensive, especially in the northeast, and the rice is hundreds of dollars.

"Grain is not planted, and the fields are mostly deserted, which makes the price of rice rise, and a bucket of rice is hundreds of dollars. Although His Majesty calculated, but there was no door valve family to promote, the copper mold case could not be cracked for a long time, all kinds of inferior money circulation and market, so that prices continue to expand, there is no way for the people to live" Zhang Bairen interpreted the information in his hand: "The gate valve family wanted to use the copper mold to impact the financial system of the Great Sui, but never wanted to rebel, and was used by His Majesty, forcing the gate valve family to barren land, and the people starved to death. Read on:

The rice transported may be rough and evil, so that the people will pay for it. and sent more than 600,000 deer coachmen, the two of them pushed rice and three stones, the road was dangerous, not enough to feed food, to the town, there was nothing to lose, they were afraid of sin and died. Heavy on the corruption of officials, the invasion of fishing due to fate, the people are poor, the financial resources are exhausted, the peace of life is unbearable, the death period is urgent, and the plunder is still prolonged, so they began to gather as a group of thieves.

"Smack!" Even if he had been prepared, Zhang Bairen was still shocked, and it was really strange for those in power to use it for their rights. 600,000 rice was transported from the Guannai, and two people pushed a cart, and each car carried three stone rice, which was close to one million servants. Moreover, the road is difficult and dangerous, and the distance between the customs and this place is too far, but I am afraid that before it can be transported to this place, the grain has already been eaten by the servants.

Eating up the food of the court is a capital crime, which is forcing people to rebel.

"Recently, bandits have been rampant in the Great Sui, and there are countless bandits of all sizes, and the local government has not been able to encircle and suppress them at all. These bandits are all people who escort food, as well as those people who can't survive, and there is still a glimmer of life when they gather to be thieves, otherwise they will only starve to death," Zhang Lihua said.

Zhang Bairen sat on the Taishi chair with a somewhat pale face: "Why does Your Majesty refuse to open a warehouse to release grain, the Great Sui has never been short of food, even if the people are not producing, it is enough for the people of the Great Sui to live for more than three or five years." ”

The secret letter in his hand was thrown into the fire, and Zhang Bairen's eyes were full of contemplation: "It seems that Wang Bo should revolt in Changbai Mountain!

"Here!" Zhang Lihua was already ready.

Zhang Bairen took the secret report, slowly held it in his hand, and after a while, his face was unbearable.

"But do you want to send someone to kill Wang Bo?" Zhang Lihua bit her red lip.

There are signs of rebellion in Changbai Mountain, and it is best to extinguish the fire as soon as possible.

"Don't worry about it, although the Changbai Mountain Uprising was promoted by the gate valve family, it gave the people a way to live after all. Now that there are countless thieves, one Wang Bo has died, and there will be another Wang Bo who will continue to stand up, this is forced by the general trend, the officials are forcing the people to rebel, I don't know what His Majesty can do to suppress it!" Zhang Bairen's eyes were full of helplessness.

"This is a secret report about Dou Jiande!" Zhang Lihua took out another document, and now fifteen years have passed, Tianting has been taken care of by Zhang Lihua in an orderly manner and has become Zhang Bairen's right-hand man.

Taking the secret report in Zhang Lihua's hand, Zhang Bairen slowly opened it.

Speaking of Dou Jiande, he is a native of Zhangnan, he admired the Jianghu ranger when he was a teenager, and his courage was outstanding, and later he inadvertently obtained the ancestral secret scroll, and he learned a good martial arts, and his reputation spread out within a radius of dozens of miles, and he was attached to the nearby township party.

Last year, Yang Guang recruited soldiers to fight against Goguryeo, and Dou Jiande was selected as the commander of 200 people because of his bravery.

If you want to say this, there is no place for Dou Jiande to get ahead, but Sun Anzu, who has a fellow county, was also selected as a soldier because of his courage and good fighting. and Dou Jiande didn't understand, but Sun Anzu was unwilling to be requisitioned by the imperial court, so he simply ran away from home, and his wife was harmed by the county order, so he assassinated the county order in anger.

Killing officials and rebelling is definitely not as easy as in China, Sun Anzu fled to Dou Jiande, was hidden by Dou Jiande, chased by the government, and followed the trail all the way to Dou Jiande's house, Dou Jiande said to Sun Anzu: "When Emperor Wen, the world was prosperous, and millions of people were sent to defeat Goryeo, but they were defeated. Now that the floods are plagued, the people are poor, and in addition to the previous years of the westward expedition, the travelers will not return, and the devastation has not recovered; the Lord is not sympathetic, but has sent troops to attack Goryeo in person, and the world will be in chaos. If the husband does not die, he should make great contributions, but he will be killed and evil!"

So the two rebelled!

"Zhangnan, this official will go in person, go to meet this Dou Jiande, and there will be some details in my heart in the future" Zhang Bairen's face was pale, he stood up slowly, got up and walked out of the manor.

Seeing this, Zuoqiu Wuji immediately selected more than a dozen good players, and rushed out after Zhang Bairen.

Walking out of the Chengnan Manor and looking at the countless homeless people outside the manor, Zhang Bairen sighed lightly. These days, Zhang Bairen began to give porridge, because there were too many people, there was not enough food at all, so he could only eat porridge a day, and everyone barely starved to death.

In this cold north wind, countless homeless people gathered together and built some wooden houses, which could also shelter from some wind and rain.

"Alas!"

These refugees are all yellow-skinned, barely covered by clothes, and look miserable.

"Sir has done his best, why blame himself!" Xiaoyu said softly.

Xiaoyu is the 'rain' among the four protectors of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and the only woman among the four brothers and sisters of the Lu family.

Now that the brothers and sisters of the Lu family have come out of the customs, they have cultivated to the Yuan Shen, and they are Taoist pseudo-yang god level powerhouses.

The four brothers and sisters sit in the base camp on weekdays, and when Zhang Bairen goes out, he follows the Dharma protector out of his body in the wind and rain, thunder and lightning.

"Let's go!" Zhang Bairen's face was distorted, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and he took one step and shrank into inches and walked into the distance.

But along the way, there were homeless people everywhere, and the poorly clothed people either fled for their lives in a hurry, or fell to the ground, struggling to get up.

In the distance, a wisp of meat fragrance wafted in, and I saw a large group of homeless people gathered together, numb around a cauldron, and the stomach gurgled non-stop.

"Where do the homeless people get their meat?" Zhang Bairen said in surprise.

Zuoqiu Wuji on the side suddenly changed his complexion: "I'm afraid it's human flesh!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became tense for a moment, Zhang Bairen's face changed wildly, his body was stiff, and he couldn't move.

The brothers and sisters of the Lu family on the side sighed lightly, and the old avenue: "When there was a great drought in the north, if the four of my brothers and sisters were not relieved by the governor, I am afraid that they would have already become the belly of others." ”

Looking at this picture of purgatory on earth, the four brothers and sisters couldn't help but think of the tragic experience back then, and they admired and thanked Zhang Bairen even more in their hearts.

"These guys, they actually eat human flesh, they are really bastards! Moral degradation, wait for me to teach them a lesson" Looking at Zhang Bairen's miserable face, Zuoqiu Wuji said angrily.

As he spoke, Zuoqiu Wuji stepped forward, glanced at the refugees in a circle, and said angrily: "You dare to eat human flesh?"

Everyone was speechless, and didn't seem to hear Zuoqiu Wuji's words, just quietly looked at the cauldron with the smell of meat.

"Vomit!" Zuoqiu Wuji smelled the aroma of meat, and suddenly rolled in his stomach, and when he saw the minced meat of white flowers rolling in the cauldron, he immediately couldn't help but vomit out the nausea in his heart, and slammed the cauldron over.

"Whoa!"

The broth spilled all over the ground with human flesh, and the next moment the group of numb refugees suddenly became agitated, rushed over, threw themselves on the ground and began to bite the human flesh that fell to the ground.

Even Zuoqiu Wuji, a strong person with easy bones, was pushed out of the crowd.
