Quick wear: the villain's father's fine cub

Chapter 18
The three streets near the imperial city are full of high-ranking official residences, mostly with white lanterns.But outside the Zhenghe Gate, every household of the merchants and ordinary people is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and festive red is everywhere.

Passers-by on the road talked about New Year's goods, compared the prices of goods, talked about embarrassing stories about the children of each family, and passed gossip about the three aunts and eight aunts.Occasionally, when I talk about the disaster in the south, I usually say "Hey, it's really pitiful".

The teahouse peddler was also discussing the blood-red matter of the Qianmen High Court, talking about "the regent's seizure of power", and sighing, "The Zhang family is really pitiful."

Zhang Rourou immediately cast a look of resentment, as if saying: You still don't admit your mistake?

Fuchen sat with the statue, and the carriage continued to park outside the teahouse, listening to the gathered traffickers.

Someone quickly retorted, "Ah bah, what a pity, let me tell you, their family is a disaster! You don't know how many people starve to death and freeze to death in the south, that's so pitiful."

"The Zhang family killed tens of thousands of families. If you want me to say, it's better if they die. The little one shouldn't be let go!"

"Don't." Someone hissed, and said in a low voice, "I don't know if that is the future princess?"

The Zhang family has always been at the forefront of the storm in the capital.

Zhang Youzhi did a good job of treating people honestly.

Zhang Rourou's title of "No. [-] Beauty" and her legend of having been with the two top men in power have always brought hot topics to the capital.

Everyone is very familiar with their family.

Fuchen glanced at the "future princess", mockingly with a cold light in his eyes: Why don't you overdo it now, don't you dare to be arrogant?
This "pure and flawless" heroine, Zhang Rourou, who is "a body of justice" and "a face full of holy light", won't always just listen to what she wants to hear and watch what she wants to see, right?
The trafficker lowered his voice and whispered, as if there was something secret in the world.

"Let's go." Fu Chen said.

The groom beat the whip, and the horse went "da da" again.

The carriage turned into the alley, with a new look.Everyone was chatting and making trouble, with smiles on their faces, and everyone was jubilant, to please the omen of the new year.No one talked about the past affairs, and each family swept the snow in front of their own doors.

Walking out of the inner alley and coming to "Guanyin Street", what I saw and heard changed again.

This is the famous Beggar Street.Fuchen also came here before.

There are two temples on this street, and the surrounding shops are full of incense paper money and snacks.

Pedestrians on the street bought candles made of paper money, and said offerings to burn incense.

The beggars gathered at the corners of the alleys talked about big things.

The carriage stopped at the intersection of the street behind, just blocking the view.The distance is only a few meters.

The beggars talked enthusiastically, and they were not afraid of the crowds on the street in front of them.It seemed clear that this dark corner was their domain and undisturbed.

The sound came to the ears of the two clearly.

Only one voice was heard to host: "Many of us are from the south. We were not from poor families, nor were we unable to afford food."

"But why are you still a beggar?"

The people below shouted: "Why?"

"Because of corrupt officials!" The man spoke in a cadence, with a strong local accent.

Then he said, "This group of people embezzled taxes. If the regent hadn't killed hundreds of officials, I wouldn't even know I paid more taxes!"

"Back then, there were five people in my family and two acres of land. It was barely enough to make ends meet. Officials had to collect grain. Once they harvested, they would collect eight parts of my land's grain."

"I have the old and the young, and there is not enough to eat without a little bit. The two younger siblings grow up, and the parents can't be short of food."

"When I thought about it, I ate the most. After I left, wouldn't that be enough?"

"I just left home to beg. I walked all the way to the capital to settle down."

"Good guy. I don't even know if it wasn't the regent who killed officials. For five years, the imperial court only collects one acre of land. In case of a disaster, they don't collect and give back food."

"Two acres of land are only charged two cents. The family gritted their teeth and drank porridge at ordinary times, and it passed. Steamed buns can be steamed during the Chinese New Year, and the family is reunited together."

"Then what am I going to beg for?"

After the story was told, the person asked loudly, "Tell me, how many of you came out to beg because you had no food at home?"

"Forehead."

"I!"

"I."

One after another, people responded.

"To put it bluntly, we were all killed by those corrupt officials! The regent helped us kill corrupt officials, he is a good man!"

"good man!"

"good man!"

The beggars agreed one after another.

Leader: "Damn those corrupt officials!"

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

The leader: "But there are those who have no eyesight and no heart, but they actually speak for those corrupt officials! To humiliate the regent! What's more annoying is that they are still ours!"

"We are beggars, but not wolf-eyed wolves!"

"Cutting people's money is like killing their parents. The Regent helped us kill the enemy who killed our mother. Do we want to pay back?"

"want!"

"want!"

"want!"

This time, what echoed the shout was the sound of a wooden stick hitting the ground.

Leader: "A village has its own rules. A clan has its own rules."

"We beggars also have the rules of beggars."

"Since someone broke our rules, we will solve it ourselves, so as not to cause trouble to the regent."

The leader shouted: "Bring people up, right here, kill them!"

"Head, and the bastard was not caught. He took the money, and it seems that he was taken away."

Leader: "Don't worry. Without these little ones, he can't do anything by himself. We'll kill him as soon as he emerges."

Dust lifted the curtains.The carriage took two steps forward, just in time to see the lynching in the alley.

This group of beggars was really ruthless, they surrounded the people on the ground and beat them with sticks.The technique is messy and does not avoid the key points, it is to beat people to death.

Listen to the voice, there is more than one person.There also appeared to be children.

Through the gap between the crowd, blood was faintly visible on the ground.

Fuchen looked at Zhang Rourou, and glanced at his eyes: Let's take a look.

Zhang Rourou had already puffed up her face and glared angrily.Like a deflated bullfrog.

"You don't think that I, like you, bribed beggars to play in advance." Fuchen sneered.Then he sighed, "There are many civilians in this city."

Those who sweep the snow in front of the door in the lane are the norm.

Zhang Rourou turned her face away and lowered her voice, as if to share the country's worries, "Behead all the officials, no one will work for the court, the country will be defeated sooner or later."

Fuchen smiled, "The imperial court does not need corrupt officials, nor is there a shortage of talents. After killing a group, new ones will emerge. The vacant official positions will be filled quickly. The new students this year are more than enough to fill the vacancies."

"The beheading of corrupt officials is just the last lesson for them before they become officials."

At this moment, Fuchen spoke with a calm tone, and he was able to take in and out freely when talking about state affairs, and he had the image of "a thousand princesses".

As a princess, rich clothes and fine food are the norm, and it is only natural to plan for the country.

Responsibility and power have always been equal.

Fu Chen said to Sui Ying, "Since their rule is to die with a stick, throw that beggar to them too."

He took out a silver note of 500 taels, "Change it into broken silver and let them divide it. If you want to go home, if you don't go home and have a good meal for the New Year, it is also a thank you gift from the palace."

Follow along.
