Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 56 Heaven and Earth Are Unkind

The rock walls inside the cave are extremely hard, and the surface is full of sharp edges and corners. Mrs. Li's head hit her head and bled all over her face, which frightened One-Eye. He hurriedly picked up Mrs. Li, who was almost unconscious, from the ground, and tried to press the wound on her head with the palm of his hand, but the blood with body temperature still gushed out from between his fingers.

One-eyed's other hand picked a relatively clean corner of cloth from under the placket, tore it off with a snort, and then tightly wrapped the wound on Mrs. Li's forehead, and the strip of cloth was soon soaked with blood, but fortunately, the bleeding could gradually stop.

Seeing that Mrs. Li was still struggling to break free from her arms, the violent color on one-eyed face calmed down a lot, and her voice became softer.

"Mrs. Li, it's me who is offended, don't move, I just want to help you stop the bleeding. ”

The change in this voice made Mrs. Li want to look at the one-eyed in confusion, but unfortunately her eyes were covered by blood, and through the blood, she saw a red world and a blurred figure. Seeing that she was no longer struggling, One-Eye helped her straighten out the corners of her somewhat messy clothes, and then untied the ropes that cut her arms back.

"Madam, my name is Dong Shusheng, and I am not sweeping the floor in Xia Sven and doing a lot of evil. It is really unkind to heaven and earth, and the world is unfair......"

Taking advantage of Mrs. Li's efforts to lean against the rock wall and catch her breath, the one-eyed Dong Shusheng talked about his life experience.

Dong Shusheng's original ideal was indeed to be a scholar who sought fame. However, the despicable tricks of the traitor in the cold window of ten years are not as good as the traitors, and when he participated in the township examination, Dong Shusheng, who was full of confidence, ended up with Sun Shan.

On the contrary, it was the son of the squire of the same village who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and in one fell high school, Dong Shusheng was not convinced, and filed a complaint with the government, asking the official to thoroughly investigate the cattiness in the examination room.

You must know that seeking fame through the examination is the rule set by the illiterate founding emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, and he himself has endured the hardships of being illiterate, and after gaining power, he ordered the world that all those who study, regardless of their background, can learn high and low, and become officials by virtue of their talents.

However, anyone who dares to engage in favoritism and malpractice in the trial, regardless of their identity and background, will be punished once it is verified.

The trial of the Great Xia Dynasty was held under the portraits of the world's masters and saints and the heads of those who were hanging high because of fraud, which should be a practice of the belief of the founding emperor. However, as the years have passed, the dragon veins of the Great Xia Empire and the imperial spirit of the previous emperors have gradually declined, and now the Great Xia still seems to be singing and dancing, but it is surging in a prosperous scene, and the test site is no longer a pure land.

It is precisely because of the iron rules of the Danshu set by the founding emperor for the trial lift, and if you don't do anything on the trial stage, once the mouth is opened, it will be another bottomless officialdom.

The chief examiner of the township examination received the report from the government, pretended to check it, and came to the conclusion that Dong Shusheng was shallow in learning, jealous of the virtuous and jealous, wantonly made false accusations, read his first offense, and was punished with forty rods and expelled from the court.

is a weak Dong scholar, who has no power to restrain the chicken, so he can only wail under the court staff, and was almost beaten by the court staff. After returning home, the first thing to do after recovering was to burn the books that had been with him for many years with a fire, and then began to carry a hoe and take care of the family's thin fields.

It seems that God rewards hard work, this Dong Shusheng, who abandoned the sage book, has quite a lot of experience in planting the land, although the life is still hard in the past few years, but the body is a lot stronger, and in addition to coarse tea and light rice, he also asked someone to talk about a serious family's family affairs.

Although the daughter-in-law who passed by the door was illiterate, she was very kind, and Dong Shusheng's small life began to have a good time, and the trial gradually became a thing of the past.

It's a pity that fate seems to have been arranged for a long time, just when Dong Shusheng thought that he had shaken hands with fate, fate played tricks on him again.

The lowest level of administrator in Bactria is the county magistrate, and after the expiration of the term of office, the county magistrate will be requisitioned and transferred from other places to implement rotation management. The original intention was to avoid collusion between the governor and the local scoundrels.

This year, a new county order came to the place where Dong Shusheng lived. When the new official took office, he first doubled the tax shared by Dong Shusheng's household, which made the originally hard-working scholar have no choice, almost to the point of not being able to catch up, so he had to work more day and night, but fortunately, his wife was reasonable, and he worked Dong Shu's birthday, and was more diligent and thrifty.

On this day, the scholar finished his work in the field, and went home with a tired body, carrying a hoe, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard his wife's plea from the house.

"Official, official. It's the only ration in the family, so you can't just grab it. ”

Dong Shusheng didn't know what was going on, stepped up his pace, trotted all the way into the door, and found that the house had been smashed, broken pots and bowls were scattered all over the ground, and his wife was snatching a patched rice bag from the hands of a tiger-backed official.

The official impatiently pushed Dong's wife away, "What are you doing, what are you doing? You still plan to fight against the imperial court? You have been in arrears for a long time and have not paid the county lord's public grain, and now you still want to attack the official errand?"

Dong Shusheng hugged his wife who almost fell, and couldn't help but be angry, but when he saw his crying wife holding his sleeve tightly, he was so frightened that he trembled and couldn't bear it, so he suppressed his anger and gave it up.

"Official, you are doing well, this ration is the life of our family, you take it all at once, doesn't it make us have no way to live." ”

Standing in front of the thin scholar like an iron tower, he pushed the scholar to the ground again, "You Diao Min is embarrassed to say, just because of this for your family, I don't know how many legs I have to run." It's only to blame you for being blind and offending our new county master. ”

Dong Shusheng looked confused, but thinking about it, this tax did change with the new county magistrate, he wanted to ask this official, he is a farmer, and even his relatives have little contact, how can he offend a new county magistrate?

The servant waved his hand impatiently, "I don't know what you did." Just to collect this little bit of food from your family, my boots are about to wear out two pairs. ”

Dong Shusheng couldn't think of how he could get into a lawsuit with the new official, but he couldn't ask anything from the mouth of the officer, so he had to get up again and grab the bag of life-saving rations, but his strength was really not comparable to the tall officer, and after several battles, he was dragged to the courtyard by the officer.

"Sun Zhukuai, why can't you do this little thing?" I don't know when, there was already a figure standing in the courtyard, and a shout and question startled Sun Zhukuai.

"Lord Liang. It's not that you don't do your best, you can also see how hateful these people are!" The arrogant official actually flattered the people in the courtyard with a flattering face, Dong Shusheng turned his head and looked at it, and suddenly everything understood.

The new county magistrate is the son of the squire he reported back then, Liang Zheng.

Liang Zheng was dressed in a brand-new official uniform, and although he was the lowest official of the empire, in a sense, he was a powerful official, because they directly managed the people under him on behalf of the empire.

Dong Shusheng felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and let go of the rice bag with both hands, this time the official was defenseless, the two were still fighting, Dong Shusheng let go, the official did not stabilize his body, he took a few steps backwards all the way, and finally sat on the ground, the rice bag in his hand flew out, and several liters of brown rice in it were spilled on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Liang Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Dong Shusheng, you dare to resist the law and disobey, Sun Catch quickly, tie me back to the yamen, and then interrogate." ”

Dong Shusheng was immediately dumbfounded when he was charged with this crime, and his wife on the side reacted, knelt at Liang Zheng's feet, and fell to the ground, "My lord, you let me go, he really didn't mean it." ”

Dong Shusheng already understood at this moment that Liang was coming for himself, and he was even more sure that Liang Zheng had colluded with the government when he was taking the examination to gain fame.

He calmly walked to his wife's side, picked up his wife, who was still kowtowing, and dusted off her body distressedly, "Family, this matter has nothing to do with you, I'll follow the adults back." ”

The wife is the honest daughter of an ordinary family, looking at the calm face of her man, she can see some clues, and the anxiety in her heart is getting heavier.

"In charge, the official doesn't remember the villain, why did you offend him, hurry up and apologize to him and admit his mistakes, please him. ”

Dong Shusheng scraped away the tears hanging from the corners of his wife's eyes with his thumb, "Don't be afraid, my Dong Shusheng has a bright and upright life, I don't do bad things, I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door......"

"Okay!" Liang Zheng interrupted Dong Shusheng's words excitedly, originally he was here to humiliate Dong Shusheng, but he didn't expect this guy to be a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and he held his head high, and regarded himself as a character.

Liang Zheng wanted to get back face from Dong Shusheng, but he touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard, he turned his hands behind his back, his face was blue with anger, and he paced around the yard, thinking about how to clean up this poor scholar who almost hurt his own head.

Seeing Dong Shusheng comforting his wife with pity in his eyes, Liang Zheng's eyes rolled, and a vicious thought rose into his mind, and he pretended to step forward, "This sister-in-law, you don't have to worry too much, I am wearing the official uniform of our Great Xia Imperial Court, so I naturally have to act in accordance with the rules of the imperial court. ”

It's a first-time offense again, remembering that when he reported and tried to commit fraud, he was wrongfully punished for the first offense, and he thanked the official for his generosity and kindness, and now Liang Zheng has offered this excuse again, it seems that he has won the mystery of officialdom.

So Shuchang sighed, turned around and followed the county master back to the yamen and let him go.

Liang Zheng was not in a hurry, and continued to stare at Dong's wife, "Otherwise, sister-in-law will go to the house to look for it again, and try to find some money, food or sundries, so that I can hand over to the top, and I will let your man go." ”

"Huh?" Dong's wife didn't expect the official's attitude to change suddenly, and she didn't even bother to wipe away her tears, turned around and ran into the house, "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness, my lord, you see that there is something else in the house, we will hand it over." ”

Liang Zheng's sudden change made Dong Shusheng inexplicably confused, but watching his wife lead Liang Zheng into the house, he suddenly felt a chill in his back and shouted, "Madam!

Dong's wife just wanted to answer her husband, but Liang Zheng had already followed her into the house, and slammed the door behind her with her backhand, and then there was a sound of pressing the door bolt.

Dong Shusheng was horrified in his heart, and rushed to the door after breaking free from the servants, and his thin body burst out with amazing strength, and he hit the entire door panel with his shoulder.

The officials on the side were also a little entangled, thinking to themselves what the county magistrate thought, in broad daylight, he actually wanted to occupy a village girl. Although this village girl was in the same year, it was not worth it to take such a risk.

There was a burst of furniture being knocked to pieces in the house, Dong's wife just shouted for help, and then there was a whimper, it should be the movement of the mouth being covered, Dong Shusheng hit the door like crazy, and the door began to crumble.

The official also began to bang on the door, "Lord Liang, Lord Liang......"

There was a gloomy voice from inside the house, "Sun Zhukuai, this official wants to personally interrogate why this Diao woman dares to resist donations, if you can't even stop her accomplices, you don't have to be a catcher when you go back!"

The accomplice naturally refers to Dong Shusheng who smashed the door frantically, and the servant weighed it, after all, the job is important, so he went to stop Dong Shusheng and hugged him, and lowered his voice to dissuade, "Who let you offend the official master, maybe he can let you go after he succeeds?"

"What kind of bullshit are you guys in good clothes. Liang Zheng, you dare to move a finger of my lady, I, I, I will bite you to death!"

Sun Zhukuai's arms are thicker than Dong Shusheng's thighs, tightly clamping Dong Shusheng's thin figure, Dong Shusheng struggles desperately, but he can't break free no matter what, the voice of his wife in the house who keeps struggling and shouting is getting smaller and smaller, Liang Zheng is doing evil, and at the same time deliberately humiliating Dong Shusheng,

"You Diao Min, don't you like to sue, you should go and sue me for playing with your wife now. You go and sue, go and sue......"

"Ahh

Sun Zhu was about to suffer from pain, and as soon as he let go, Dong Shusheng came out, spit out the severed finger in his mouth, and continued to bang on the door like crazy, "Liang Zheng, you brute, I did the complaint, what are you doing at me, it won't hurt your wife and children, you can't ...... your wife and children."

Sun Zhukuai was also enraged by the pain from the severed finger, so he picked up the hoe that Dong Shusheng threw on the ground just now, and smashed it towards Dong Shusheng, "I'll let you bite me!"

Dong Shusheng heard the movement behind him, subconsciously turned around, and with a muffled bang, the hoe smashed firmly on his cheek, and then, the scholar's eyes turned black, with blood on his face, and slowly fell down.

......

I don't know how long it took for Dong Shusheng to wake up from his coma, half of his face was no longer perceptual, or the excessive pain had paralyzed the nerves there.

He desperately peeled off the sticky plasma on his face, barely opened his remaining eye, and found that it was already the middle of the night, and it was quiet as if nothing had happened.

Thinking of his wife, he staggered to his feet and groped his way into the dark room. As soon as he entered the house, he was tripped by the household belongings scattered around the house, and his palms and body were immediately cut by a lot of debris.

"Madame, ma'am. He struggled and fumbled all the way, and finally, close to the bed, finally touched a pair of bare thighs.

"Madam!" Dong Shusheng's heart trembled, a suffocating feeling pressed on his chest made him breathless, the cold thighs dangled lightly in the air, Dong Shusheng himself had weak legs and fell to the ground. Then he struggled to get up again, trying to untie his wife from the beam.

After some tossing, finally, with a bang, his wife's heavy body fell down, Dong Shusheng didn't care about the scars on his body, and held his wife tightly in his arms. But the corpse was already cold, and Dong Shusheng could no longer warm up the body that had been hugged countless times.

Under the boundless darkness of the night, in the lonely hut, a man with a flowering head held a cold and stiff corpse, what is the difference between this and Senluo Hell. Suddenly, a mournful voice like a terrible ghost suddenly sounded,

"Heaven and earth are unkind...... Heaven and earth are unkind...... Heaven and earth are unkind......"
