Chapter 158: Thousand Miles of Frozen
Jinghu Villa is located in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture. It is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers. It is surrounded by rippling blue waves all year round. Not only the most senior officials of the imperial court lived here, but even the Song royal family often spent summers here to escape the heat and even handle political affairs.
At this time, something strange happened in Jinghu Villa, which made everyone extremely curious. Even the "hero" who had been reading a book became interested.
"The most surprising thing is." The person with a Jiangnan accent continued: "After the members of Jinghu Villa recovered, they donated most of their wealth."
"Who did you donate it to?" the person with a Kaifeng accent asked enviously.
Without a solid family background, it is impossible to live in Jinghu Villa, so the donations from these non-members will definitely be huge sums of money, which makes people feel envious.
"I'm not sure." The person with a Jiangnan accent shook his head and said, "But it probably has something to do with Fairy Girl, right?"
"What's your estimate? It must be related to the fairy aunt. Otherwise, why would the fairy aunt treat them?" the person with a Shaanxi accent asked.
"The Huawai Fairy Girl also collects property? Oh my God, how much money is this?" The man with a Hubei accent smacked his tongue.
"Huawai Fairy Girl is not a real fairy. She also needs to wear clothes and eat." The person with a Sichuan accent said: "It's just that she wants too much, right? She's too black."
"Who says it's not the case, but the fairy lady didn't want it, it was given to her by non-members willingly?" said the person with a Jiangnan accent.
"Willingly?" "Hero" couldn't help but said at this time: "It's just a fairy jump."
Who would be willing to give away a wealth of wealth to others? Someone must have set a trap, and there may be an element of coercion or inducement, the "hero" thought to himself.
"Young hero, what is the Immortal Dance?" someone asked in confusion.
"Seeing the pleasing appearance of a person means that there is a true fate." "Hero" thought for a while and then replied: "Just because it is not true, it cannot be true, so there is no way to hide the secret. People in Lingnan call it catching the 'yellow-footed chicken' ', The love between men and women in the world is originally human nature, but some treacherous people, young people, deliberately use this kind of greed to seek love, and design a trap to lure the children of good families and defraud them. A lot of money."
As soon as "Hero" said this, the eyes of the woman in yellow and the other three people suddenly showed a hint of anger, but they quickly covered it up.
"A man is in love with a woman, but he falls into a trap in his pursuit of love. Young hero, those non-commissioners were infected with insect poison and donated their wealth after being cured. What does this have to do with the love between a man and a woman?" The person with a Jiangnan accent asked doubtfully.
"Isn't the truth the same?" "Hero" replied after hearing this.
"Even so, the belongings in these people's homes are all ill-gotten gains, and they deserve to be robbed by the people." The person with a Kaifeng accent said loudly.
"What Xiongtai said is true." The person with a Jiangnan accent also said: "It would be best if all our wealth is gone. Only by dispersing all our wealth can we relieve the hatred in our hearts."
"Yes, yes, since it is all ill-gotten wealth, that is how it should be. It is a pity that it only belongs to the fairy. If the fairy can use it to help the victims, that would be perfect."
"That's what the fairy did. She used some of her property to help the people around her who couldn't survive the winter. They all regarded the fairy as a living Bodhisattva."
"I wonder if I can share some of the property when I go there?"
"Save it, you can't survive the winter?"
Everyone in the inn discussed the matter excitedly and praised the fairy for helping the world and saving people.
"Haha!" "Hero" suddenly laughed at this time
Coming, everyone in the inn looked sideways. Some were doubtful, some were angry, but no one was happy.
The laughter from "Hero" was obviously sarcastic.
"Why are you all looking at me? Shouldn't you be laughing?" "Hero" saw the strange looks in everyone's eyes and asked.
"You shouldn't...!" The innocent girl glared at the "hero" and said with a long tail tone.
"Oh" "Hero" nodded and said: "I just think that a gentleman loves money and should get it in a proper way. Illegally acquired wealth? How do you know that their property is ill-gotten wealth? What evidence do you have? Even Jinghu Villa The people's property is ill-gotten wealth, the wealth of the people looted by corrupt officials, but the government has its own court and the government makes the decision. How is it different from robbery? The property taken in this way is ill-gotten wealth, even if it is scattered Spending all your wealth to save people is also ill-gotten gain and is not advisable!"
"The imperial court, the government? The imperial court, the government will make decisions for me and other common people?"
"That's right, that's right, their officials protect each other, how can the people fight with the officials?"
"Don't you heroes claim to rob the rich and give to the poor? When did you change your gender?"
"That's right, what kind of hero is he? He shouldn't be humiliated by the word hero."
"Exactly, heroes make decisions for the people, how can they speak for corrupt officials?"
Everyone in the inn accused the "hero" and accused him of speaking for corrupt officials.
"I am not the one who speaks for the corrupt officials." The "hero" saw that everyone was criticizing him, but he was not afraid, and "warred with the Confucian scholars": "Corrupt officials are certainly hateful, but they cannot violate the laws of the imperial court. They all ignore the laws and regulations. What's the use of having laws and regulations on taking other people's property? Isn't this going to cause chaos in the world?"
"It would be better if the world were in chaos. Only when the world is in chaos will the corrupt officials be scared to death and not dare to bully the people."
"That's right, that's right, if the world is in chaos, I will go and get back the property that they have squeezed."
"No! You are completely wrong." The voice of the "hero" became louder and louder, and he continued to "battle with the Confucian scholars": "How can there be complete eggs under the overthrow of the nest? If the city gate is on fire, it will affect the fish in the pond. The world will be in chaos? The world will suffer in chaos. First of all, we are ordinary people. In troubled times, human lives are like grass and grass, and ordinary people will be even more miserable. Is this a good thing? "
As soon as "Hero" said this, everyone in the inn immediately became much quieter, and many people who understood the truth agreed with "Hero"'s statement in their hearts.
When the world is in chaos, the first ones to suffer are the ordinary people without money and power. The rich and powerful will find various ways to avoid disasters, but will be less affected by it. They may even take advantage of the chaos to intensify their exploitation. What about the people?
Unexpectedly, this person looked like a rude hero, but he could say such a truth. He was simply beyond appearances. Everyone looked at the "hero" silently, thinking in their hearts that except for the three of them, these three people are The woman in yellow, the innocent woman and the thin black man all stared at the "hero", but did not scold him.
At this time, the woman in yellow's "fascinating eyes" turned into "electric eyes", and she was scraping them back and forth on the "hero", wishing to scrape them into powder...
The thin black man even showed a cannibalistic look. It was not because of the large number of people, nor because of his "heroic" or "high martial arts skills", he had already gone up to take action.
The pure woman was so angry that her legs trembled slightly and she made a series of noises.
"It's getting late, young master, I'm going to bed." "Hero" saw that everyone was speechless, so he stood up proudly, yawned and said.
No matter what tomorrow, we have to risk crossing the river, otherwise all our previous efforts will be wasted. On the side of the "hero"
Thinking of this, he went to get the long sword on the table.
The scabbard was too heavy. At the same time, the "hero" took the sword and held it in the hilt. The long sword made a soft sound of "Canglang", and the blade was pulled out of the scabbard. A hint of sword light suddenly appeared.
It was revealed and instantly seemed to light up the entire inn lobby.
The other people in the inn lobby were fine, but they were surprised by the sharpness of the sword. The woman in yellow and the other three people all looked blankly at the sword on the "hero's" table, as if they had seen something horrifying...
.
"Hero" frowned and quickly returned the blade to the scabbard.
King Wu's sword was too eye-catching, so the "hero" wrapped it in rags, which made it look more normal. But at this time, it was accidentally exposed, which made the "hero" feel a little worried.
Once someone becomes interested in wealth, the "hero" will immediately reveal his true colors...
Fortunately, we are approaching the capital, and it will be much safer under the emperor's feet. "Hero" thought to himself, otherwise he would have to worry about it when he goes to bed at night.
But he still had to sleep with his sword in his arms at night... At this time, "Hero" had already noticed the dissatisfied look on his face by the woman in yellow and the other three people.
The three people including the woman in yellow looked at each other at this time, with extremely surprised expressions in their eyes.
........
Thousands of miles of ice cover, thousands of miles of snow drifting, the ice layer on the Bianhe River is getting thicker and thicker, like a huge mirror, without any sign of thawing.
The "hero" tied straw on the four hooves of the strong horse, but even so, the "hero" did not dare to ride across the river on the slippery ice, so he could only lead the horse across the river.
Fortunately, the Bianhe River is not wide, only about two miles, so the "hero" looked at the vast expanse of white, sighed, and took the risk to lead the horse to the other side.
Today is the last day to submit the writ. The "hero" must rush to the city before dark, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted and all efforts will be in vain.
"Hero, hero, slow down, wait for me." At this moment, in the inn last night, a man with a Sichuan accent led a horse and ran panting from behind.
"Are you... do you know me?" "Hero" turned to look at this person and asked doubtfully.
"Oh, old...I am Liu Anjie, a member of the Chengdu Prefecture. I am going to the city to take the exam. I recognized you last night. You are going to the city too, right? How about you and I going to the city together today?" Liu Anjie
He said pantingly.
Liu Anjie also had to take the exam, and today was the last day to submit the application form, so Liu Anjie also took the risk of crossing the river.
It is better to cross the river with others than to cross the river alone. If something goes wrong, such as falling into an ice cave, there are still people who can rescue you.
At the same time, the "hero" looks like he has great martial arts skills, so it is relatively safer to travel with him, Liu Anjie thought proudly.
"Oh, it turns out it's you, let's go." "Hero" nodded in agreement and led the horse forward with Liu Anjie.
"Hero..."
"I'm not a hero, I'm also a Lingnan candidate, and I went to the city to take the exam."
"What? Are you also from Lingnan? What is your name?"
"My surname is Li, Sanjian, from Danzhou, Lingnan."
"Danzhou people? It's so far away. It's so hard to come here. No wonder you look dusty."
"To each other, each other, brothers, let's go quickly!"
