Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

Yuan Guifei really couldn't walk, she was carried into the palace gate, Your Highness, Chongzhen said angrily: "You think I don't know, you did a good thing, what means does Wang Pu have with you." "

"Woo. "Yuan Guifei is just crying, but she can respond to the poem, and the tears are like silk, and there is no turbidity to pound the clothes.

"You make it clear, don't cry, I don't want to see you cry. Although Chongzhen's words were hard, his mouth was soft.

Yuan Guifei raised her head at this time, her eyes were full of tears, and she pouted aggrievedly: "The concubine heard that Wang Pu was arrogant, so she thought why there are such disloyal and unfilial bad people in the world, so the concubine asked around." There were tears in his eyes.

"And then. Chongzhen was still anxious and asked.

His aunt turned out to be a childhood sweetheart with him, and the concubine thought that the emperor was kind to Wang Pu Long, just because of this, he was really a martial artist, ridiculous and rough. Yuan Guifei made a disdainful look.

"Hmph, woman's opinion. Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this, how could there be such a thing, could it be that Wang Pu is a lover, hating the emperor for snatching love, so he is disobedient everywhere. But after all, Chongzhen has been an emperor for a few years, and he will never be so naïve, and his instinct is not to believe it.

"The concubine is a woman, but she wants to share her worries for the king and die without regrets. Wow. Speaking of the best, Yuan Guifei suddenly cried and howled, which showed her grievances, and this howl sounded tearful to the sad seekers.

Chongzhen thought about it, and gradually realized Yuan Guifei's hard work, although he was at fault, it was still for him. Thinking of this, Chongzhen was inexplicably moved, so He Yue was relieved: "I ordered before that no more preserved fruits should be tributed, you have no jokes, you love to eat these, Wang Chengen, you send more inventory to Changchun Palace." "

"Yes, Hooray. Wang Chengen said busily.

"The concubine body, the concubine body is a small family, it is inevitable that she is not sensible, and she is not intentional. Yuan Guifei said with tears.

"Alright, get up, get flat. Chongzhen actually went up to help her in person, which is really not annoying.

Yuan Guifei burst into tears and said with a smile: "The emperor is anxious about the suffering of the people, and he is willing to suffer himself. Even the reduction of tribute, the opera class, the people are blessed, the concubine is the daughter of a small family, and she is here to thank the emperor for the fathers and elders of the world. "I was secretly proud in my heart, this time I had Wang Pu's strong foreign aid, in case she gave birth to a son, maybe, what would happen in the future was really uncertain.

At the foot of Wangwu Mountain in Shanxi, a dilapidated house is not far from the cemetery, where lives a pair of brothers, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, as the elder brother Gao Ye is carefully wiping the half-dead body of his younger brother Gao Zizi. A few days ago, Zhu Ping came to the village to grab water, and he went up to theorize, and he was inevitably beaten.

Ten miles and eight towns, who is not afraid of Zhu Ping, this person is

not an ordinary scoundrel, his surname is Zhu, I don't know how many royal descendants of the Zhu family have served, this person has done evil things that hurt the heavens and reason, and the government does not dare to take care of it. Therefore, the honest farmers in the village can only consider themselves unlucky when they are bullied by him, and dare not speak out. However, in recent years, the rain has been disorderly, drought and flood have alternated, and there is no harvest without water, and if they cannot pay taxes, they will inevitably be urged to pay taxes by the government, and countless families will be ruined and killed. Life is still at stake, and the villages and villages are fighting endlessly for water sources, and they are becoming more and more miserable. Some of the distant royal descendants found a living in this way, grabbing water for their relatives who had fields, and begging for some rewards. Therefore, the fields of the royal descendants are evergreen, and the fields of the common people are dry, which has become a temporary scene.

"Brother, you hold on. Gao Ye wiped a handful of tears and gritted his teeth.

"Brother, I'm not reconciled, if it weren't for them, our father wouldn't have starved to death, and Zhang Pawan was the one who forced the debt, I really wanted to burn down their house with a fire. Gao Zizi gritted his teeth and roared.

"No, don't talk nonsense, you don't have to be heard, you get into trouble. "

"Where did this medicinal wine come from, brother, brother, did you take out the dowry money left by your father to marry your sister-in-law. "

"Hehe, our family is like this, how can any girl come to the door, you usually like to make fun of this brother, don't take it seriously. "

"No, brother, I really heard my father and mother tell me, that money is going to be used by you personally, so what should I do." "Gao Zizi is in a hurry.

"In a few days, I will go to the county seat to find some odd jobs, and this year's salary is coming soon. "

"Odd jobs, how can there be any zero jobs. Having said that, Gao Zizai still had no choice but to shut his mouth, this season, the only odd job in the city was to repair the city wall, thieves were everywhere, and the big families in the city did not hesitate to donate silver to hire people to repair the city in order to sleep peacefully, and inadvertently gave the poor farmers nearby a way to live.

But the thieves are not false, from the mountains to the county seat, most of the way will encounter robbers, the elder brother travels alone, the danger can be known.

Went up the mountain overnight to steal some dry firewood and branches, closed the door early the next day and traveled away, Gao Zizai was injured, forced to go out with him, and watched his brother disappear from the tombstone in the cemetery.

Gao Ye walked all the way, until noon, the sun was on the head, the feet were jerky, he smiled bitterly, about last night did not sleep enough, dizziness, just found a tea stall on the side of the road to sit down, this time, the people's livelihood is difficult, even this roadside tea stall is also all over, there is one every few miles. The location of this tea stall is tricky, Gao Ye thought that there was no well water everywhere, and the irrigation water in the field did not dare to drink it casually, so he gritted his teeth and touched a copper coin to come out, slapped it on the table, and said, "Come to a bowl of tea." He took out a bun from his bosom and nibbled on the tea.

In the distance, there were a few more leggy porters, who also sat down at this tea stall and begged for tea. One of them said kindly when he saw Gao Ye: "Brother, you have to be careful when you go out alone, there have been several bandit-infested sections recently." "

Gao Ye hurriedly asked, "Then dare to ask which way is appropriate." "

"No, if you go to the county seat from

here, there is no one who will not meet a thief, but you don't have to worry, you are going to the county seat, and now you must have no money on you, and the thief will spare you first, and when you earn a few dollars from the city, come back, you have to ask a few more companions." "

"Thank you. Gao Ye made a gesture and thanked him.

After a while, since the night, the

stars and shadows are with him, he thinks that at this time the thieves are hiding in the thieves' den to sleep, and it is beautiful to take this time to hurry. It was beautiful, and he slipped under his feet and fell into the mud. He scolded and got up from the mud, and choked with a smell of blood, and was puzzled, so he took a closer look at the moonlight, and vaguely stepped on a strip-shaped stick, about the thickness of his legs, he was puzzled, and went up to check carefully, the more uneasy he became, and he mustered up the courage to reach out and push, startled a heel, sat on the ground and vomited, how could there be soft and hard wood, this is clearly a piece of meat with bones, or it may be human legs, he wanted to take a photo with the fire folds, look good, and finally still didn't dare.

Gao Ye froze down, thinking that this should be a case of murder and stealing goods by a thief during the day. He wants to leave quickly, he can't get involved in this case, the government is unreasonable, and in order to make an errand, the patrol will definitely arrest people indiscriminately, and he will die if he is involved.

Only then did he raise his head and gaze at the moon on the hillside, and suddenly showed the figure of a person immediately, Gao Ye looked at this person blankly, and he couldn't move his legs and feet for a long time, only to feel that this person's eyes were reflected under the moon, cold as a dark lamp, not like a human being.

"Don't kill me, the king doesn't have any money on me, I, I go to the county to work, and when I come back, I will have money, and then I will come to send money. No matter how reluctant these words were, they can only say it, Gao Ye turned around, pulled his legs and left, he didn't dare to look back, there was a sound of horses' hooves approaching behind him, frightened and inexplicable, only that the thief wanted to chase him and kill him, so he opened his legs and galloped, and the sound of horses' hooves behind him followed him unhurriedly.

Until he panicked and stepped into the air, he fell into the river, and the man behind him stayed by the river and lingered for a while before controlling the horse and leaving. In the river drifting, Gao Ye looked at the water, and under the moon, he could clearly see that there was a huge bow between the back of the man riding the horse, and he thought that if this person used this huge bow to shoot arrows, he could not avoid it in the water, and he would definitely die, which showed that this person may not have evil intentions, and his heart is a little stronger.

After drifting for a short time, he climbed ashore, the surroundings were strange, and he couldn't carefully recognize the road at night, but the cold hit, he had to endure the discomfort and walked for a while, and finally saw a farmer's house, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and asked who was in the house, he begged the people in the house to dry his clothes, but the people in the house pushed back on the grounds of the female dependents, refused to open the door, pleaded again and again, annoyed only that there was a ruined temple nearby, and he could go to the ruined temple for a night.

He couldn't think of it, so he asked the people in the house for directions, and climbed a long mountain range, almost thinking that he had been deceived, and he was indignant in his heart, and cursed in his mouth, and suddenly saw a fire in the mountain. Overjoyed, he didn't care much, and went straight to the fire.

After walking for a while, he was a little alert, the fire light came out of the abandoned temple, the temple door was wide open, and there was

a sound of talking inside, but he was really cold and tired, so he had to grit his teeth and enter the abandoned temple.

There are more than ten men in the temple, and they are armed with swords and soldiers, all of them have the faces of villains, Gao Ye shouted and fell into the mouth of the tiger, these Han people saw him wet and shivering, and laughed.

"Are you hungry or not. One of them asked.

"I'm just a little hungry. For some reason, Gao Ye suddenly became not very flustered, he could see that these more than ten people were not very strong, which was an indescribable intuition. When I met the man with a huge bow on his back earlier, he immediately sat lazily, and it was like a dangerous mountain and a strange peak, and it became a towering trend. But most of these people in front of him are ordinary people, and they are just arrogant, and there are such people in the village, and he has been taught them before, and they are familiar with the human flavor, so he is not very panicked.

"This brother, why did he fall into the water. Someone else asked, raised a piece of meat in his hand, and threw it over.

"I, I stepped on the air, this meat didn't dare to bear, you don't want to harm me, I roasted the fire, warmed up and left. Gao Ye picked a corner and sat down, picked up the branch on the ground, inserted the meat at one end, and thrust it into the ground next to the fire with the other, took a few steps back, and squatted down to roast the fire.

"Brother, are you going to work in the county seat, right? A Han man asked.

"Yes. "

"If an officer from the county asks you, how are you going to respond. "This question is a little unkind, and there is a hidden murderous intent.

"I'm just an old and hard-working man in the field, and I'm hiding far away, where can I ask questions. Gao Ye replied.

"Hey, hey. "These people are not killing gods who kill people when they see them, and when they hear this, they are sincere, and their murderous spirit is a little lower.

"Damn, I don't see anyone here, and the third child is not. "One of the thieves said depressedly.

"Where did the plague god come from, I heard that he is still a monk, but he is ruthless. In my opinion, it must be some rich man whom we have offended who has invited us to deal with us. "

"North Cat, South Eagle, you two brothers go down the mountain to take a look, the third is near Nanpu Village at this time. "There are outsiders present, and they only shout nicknames, and don't reveal their real names.

"Why don't you go down the mountain together? If you meet, you will fight with him, and many of us will not be afraid of him. "Brother Owl spared his life, but he refused.

"Isn't it a horseman, with a bald head with a wide back and a big bow behind his back. Gao Ye heard that Nanpu Village was near where he stepped on a broken leg, and thoughtfully, so he asked, thinking in his heart: It's a coincidence.

"You, how do you know. "

"Hey, hey. Some of the thieves became suspicious, and their eyes showed a fierce light, and they shook the knife in their hands.

"I just ran into him, and I was chased with no way out, so I jumped into the river before I stopped. Gao Ye palpitated and said: "Your brother is probably gone, I saw a severed human leg, wearing linen, shoes, and the soles of the shoes are also made of hemp rope." "

"Then, you take us there, the hoof print is still there, and we follow and find an opportunity to do him. "

"Good. Gao Ye thought that if he resigned at this time, it would be tantamount to killing himself, so he nodded immediately and said, "My clothes haven't dried yet." "

"There are clothes, the old man at the bottom of the mountain, ask him to borrow one, hehe, he can not give it. "

The poor farmer refused to open the door for Gao Ye in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, Gao Ye followed the thieves to borrow a set of brown clothes, and he lost a big one.

Gao Ye led everyone to find the place where they fell into the water, and sure enough, there were clear horseshoe prints, and they followed the imprints all the way to Zhangjiaao, there was a local village of a wealthy family, and the thieves hated it, but it was Zhang Evil Eye who was behind the ghost.

However, the sky was white, and the

outline of the stockade was awe-inspiring, and they did not dare to attack. Gao Ye just wanted to stay out of the matter, so he begged to be released. The thieves did not embarrass him.

Gao Ye went to the county seat, and after two days of soil by the

city wall, he met an acquaintance from the same village who came to him and told him that his younger brother Gao Zizai was sentenced to stand in the flail by the county magistrate and was being tortured at the gate of the county government, and he howled miserably.

When Gao Ye heard this, he screamed, shook his hand and ran, and sure enough, he saw his younger brother at the yamen.

"Brother. Gao Ye roared angrily, desperate to rush forward, causing the officials to draw their knives one after another, but fortunately Gao Ye knelt down in time, his scalp was on the blade, and he raised his head and asked: "What is my brother's crime, there should always be an explanation for the county lord to be a flail." "
