Chapter 2 When a smug king takes office, the people are struggling to live
In the 21st year of "Fanliang"; the new king "Gao Pei" ascended the throne; and the new king's appointment was about to begin the beginning of Fanliang's demise; after Gao Pei ascended the throne, he was not only extremely debauchery, but also did not care about military and political affairs, but he killed the court officials indiscriminately... and ignored the people's straits, but none of the court officials dared to complain. Occasionally, one or two people were brave enough to express their courage, but they also died of misfortune;
When the people faced the once prosperous country, they are now devastated. The rivers are getting worse and worse, and wealthy families have moved to foreign lands. The poor families can only sigh secretly that they can live for a day without seeking to survive.
Less than two years after Gao Pei ascended the throne, "Changbei" and "Xia Feng" took the opportunity to jointly attack "Fanliang"; Gao Pei finally had to face the consequences he had created. Even if he died tens of thousands of times, it would not make up for the crushing defeat of a country; after the defeat of "Fanliang"; after the defeat of "Changbei King" and "Xia Feng King", the Changbei King decided to divide one-third of Changbei's territory into Xia Feng, and after the defeat, Fanliang owned it, and also took it as a base and renamed it as the "Northern Liang Kingdom".
"The Twenty-Three Years of Beiliang" "That is, the past Fanliang" and "Biliang King" ascended the throne, and all the third-rank court officials related to the "Fanliang" royal family in the previous dynasty were exiled to the border and were not allowed to return to Liangcheng in this life; but a playboy prince who was once known to everyone. By the way, it is because of this that people have been famous since childhood, and are wandering in the fireworks venues, and are extremely romantic playboys. In fact, they also want to show off here; but no one knows the real purpose, and no one dares to guess.
The ink-like night sky, without wind or moon; dark clouds enveloped the entire night sky, like a thought, heavy suppressed in people's hearts; suddenly a loud sound of horse hooves disturbed the silence of the late night.
I saw a dark group of officers and soldiers, each holding weapons, scattered in the streets and alleys, as if mixed with the night. Under the dim light, a general led by a black Hummer stopped in front of a chestnut-red gate; the high-rise "Lin Mansion" came into view; with a wave of his hand, the officers and soldiers broke in; then, they heard, sometimes far, sometimes near, sometimes high and sometimes low, and bursts of miserable screams came out, and suddenly, the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
At midnight, two black shadows flashed by; they came to the west courtyard of the Lin Mansion and jumped into it; they saw that blood flowed into a river and corpses intersected, and this situation was terrible; the two quickly walked through the mansion, waiting for a moment, and they returned to the origin, in the dark night, a pair of deep eyes intersected, and then they jumped and disappeared here.
In the outskirts of Liangcheng, there is no need to be prosperous in the city, but there is a different scene, with mountains and flowing waters and lakes accompanied by flowers; there is no lively noise, but there is peace like a fairyland; a farmer dressed in a couple by the lake is overjoyed and collecting fish nets in the lake; such a scene, with such a person, is comparable to the beautiful scrolls in the painting, and it makes people immerse themselves in their longing.
The fish that were leaping on the shore were pestering the angry jumping, as if they were eager to get water resources, as if they were afraid of the disappearance of life; the couple skillfully picked the fish of all sizes and put them into the prepared fish basket.
He heard the woman sighed and said, "Oh, there are fewer and fewer fish. I really don't know how to live the next life!"
While taking care of the fishing net, the man said calmly: "Don't worry, Madam, this 'Beiliang King' has just ascended the throne, and we will never starve to death."
"That's what I said, but......Oh..." The woman said halfway, accidentally tripping to the ground by something under her feet.
"Are you okay, madam?" Seeing this, the man hurriedly threw down the fishing net and ran over to help the woman up.
The woman stood up, slapped the soil on her body, kicked her angrily, tripping her own thing, and said in discomfort: "What the hell is this? I've killed me."
The woman who comforted the man said, "I guess the fisherman threw the salvaged water plants here."
The woman sighed unhappily, and it was hard to relieve her anger. She kicked her hard on the water plants again. Suddenly an embroidered shoe came into her eyes. The woman suddenly screamed in a "ah" and retreated in fear. The man hurriedly hugged his wife, looking scared.
"Quick...Quick...Let's go home quickly." The woman hurriedly pulled her husband to leave. The man didn't dare to think too much, so he put away the fishing nets on the ground, carried the fish bucket, and prepared to leave.
The two of them did not take two steps, and only listened to "Dad...Mom..." The couple stopped hearing the sound and looked in the direction of their pronunciation. It was the edge of the water plants just now.
"Let's go... go... go..." The woman pulled her husband away in panic.
"Madam, that person is not dead yet!" The man stopped and looked at the woman with a little unbearable feeling, as if asking for advice.
The woman also stopped. She thought for a while, and then the couple walked towards the water plants just now in a trembling manner.
The man gently pulled the aquatic plants and saw a woman dressed in blood and curled up in it. Seeing this, the man was so scared that he took two steps back; the woman was so scared that he hid in her husband's arms.
The couple calmed down for a moment. The man stepped forward and dragged the person in the aquatic plants out. He stretched his fingers under the inexplicable woman's nose. Then he turned around and said with a little excitement: "Madam, she is still alive."
"So what, we can't afford to support her again." The woman seemed to have no intention, but she was also frightened with unconcealed fear.
The man said with a simple face: "Madam, I didn't mean to raise her, we can save her first."
The woman glanced at the person on the ground and said meaninglessly: "Oh, so what if I save her? If she does this, can she still give us money!"
The man said in a gentle tone again: "Madam, although our family is a little poor, we still have a meal. Besides, if we save her, she should help us do some work in the future."
"Okay..." The woman said unwillingly, looking at the people on the ground, she thought to herself, it would be great if she had picked up the work for nothing.
