Hey, our princess is a fairy

The old man told us that his hometown was originally Songjiang Prefecture, hundreds of miles north of Jindu Prefecture. There were a few acres of land in the countryside below.

Who would have thought that two years ago, there was a severe drought in Songjiang Mansion, and there was no rain for two years, the crops in the fields were all dried up, the big rivers and small rivers were all dried up, and the victims were all over the place, and you could meet corpses every few steps, most of them died of starvation of.

Hearing this, Duan Kai, who was sitting on the side, nodded and said: "That's true. Two years ago, the Songjiang Mansion suddenly suffered a severe drought. The land was thousands of miles away, and even the Songjiang River that ran through it was almost dried up. The people are even more destitute. The emperor has sent several People allocated funds and food to relieve the victims. They also exempted the tax there.”

The old man sighed after hearing this: "It is said that the emperor appropriated funds, but we have only one tael of silver and have not seen it. Should we starve to death or starve to death, should we flee or run away?"

Hearing this, Duan Kai straightened his expression: "What's going on?"

The old man groaned again, and reached out to touch the head of the little granddaughter who was wolfing down her meal:

"The drought is at best a natural disaster, and the worst thing is a man-made disaster! Yuan Shoucai, the magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture, used the natural disaster to make a fortune from the refugees. He declared the will of the emperor to buy all the rice from all the rice shops in Songjiang Prefecture at a low price. , and then sell it to us at a high price with dirt.”

I saw Duan Kai raised his eyebrows.

"As for the tax, he cut it in half for us, but the crops in the field have long since died of drought. Where are we going to pay the other half?"

Duan Kai patted the table, gritted his teeth and said: "But the emperor ordered it to be free!"

The old man smiled wryly: "It's one thing for the emperor to issue an order, but it's another for him to do what he does. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one can control him, not to mention the protection of officials and officials. Those officials are all for themselves. It doesn't matter whether we ordinary people live or die."

Duan Kai was so angry that his eyes almost burst into flames.

"Then you can just escape, why bother to stay there and be manipulated by him." Lu Chen, who had been silent all this time, asked lightly.

The old man took a mouthful of rice and said: "Master, who is willing to leave their hometown unless it is absolutely necessary? Xiaohong and I really have no other choice, so we came here."

Then he told us the real reason why they fled here.

Although Yuan Shoucai was greedy, he also knew that making trouble would not do him any good, so he also opened a porridge shop every once in a while, and donated rice porridge mixed with soil. Although the bottom was clear, it could barely eat.

But a year ago, a group of monsters came from nowhere, and spread it everywhere because some of them ate the descendants of the Dragon Lord. The Dragon Lord punished them by not raining for several years. If they want to rain, they must extinguish the Dragon Lord's anger .

What they said was well-founded and well-founded, and many people believed them.Even Yuan Shoucai treated them like gods and obeyed.

Today they sacrifice to the sky, tomorrow to the sea, and the day after tomorrow to the well. Once they do things, they need to whole cows and sheep.At that time, Songjiang Mansion had already been tortured by the drought and changed its appearance. How could there be so many things, but at that time everyone had the idea of ​​giving it a try, and tried their best to make it out for him, but they didn't see a drop of rain. All the beef and mutton sacrificed to heaven went into the stomachs of that group of people.

After doing a few ceremonies, it was useless, and the group of demons said again, because what they ate were the descendants of the Dragon Lord, so they had to sacrifice their own descendants to the Dragon Lord to calm their anger.

In other words, take human sacrifices!

The magistrate didn't know what kind of evil it was, and he believed such absurd words. He really found a pair of boys and girls during a ritual, and threw them into a dry well.The two children were only seven or eight years old, and there was no sound in an instant after they were thrown in.

When the old man said this, he said a few times about committing crimes, Duan Kai's face was already frighteningly dark.

I dragged my chin, feeling a little annoyed.

Later, every once in a while, a pair of boys and girls would be thrown, but it didn't have any effect at all, whether it should rain or not.

At that time, many people said that they deceived the public with their lies and were liars.

It's a pity that the stupid official was still confused, and ordered all the unbelieving people to be arrested.

In this way, more and more boys and girls were thrown away, and the people hated them more and more, but there was nothing they could do.

Those with children at home ran away. They couldn't find anyone, so they started looking for those thirteen and fourteen. They found the old man's house and wanted to take Xiaohong away. The old man's son and daughter-in-law were hacked to death by them in order to save Xiaohong. Luan led Xiaohong all the way here.

After speaking, the old man couldn't help crying, and while talking about the difficulties of the world, he wiped his tears.

The cup in Duan Kai's hand was crushed by him, and the pupils in his eyes were bottomless. I could see that he was really angry.

At this time, Song Bai also bought bone-beating medicine and ran back. I applied the medicine to the old man and told him what the old man said just now.

Song Bai was so angry that his hair exploded, and he yelled to deal with that stupid official.

Just as he was talking, a chunky old man ran over, who was the shopkeeper of this restaurant.

It turns out that the one hanging outside with his bare buttocks is the only son of the prefect of Jindu Prefecture. He usually commits all kinds of crimes. He advised us to release him quickly and run away as soon as possible to avoid disaster.

Duan Kai laughed back in anger, he ran into these dishonest people within a few steps out of the capital, it really made people feel very angry.

While the shopkeeper was persuading me, there was a noise from downstairs. I looked out of the window and saw a man in a green official uniform leading a group of officers and soldiers hastily rushing over.

Seeing this group of people, the bastard who had been hung out half-dead instantly revived, his whole body writhed like twisted twists, and he let out a whining sound from his mouth.

The team quickly came to the bottom of the restaurant, and the man in the green official uniform hurriedly ordered others to save people, and at the same time, he was about to enter the restaurant aggressively to ask for punishment.

Duan Kai was a little annoyed and waved at Song Bai, Song Bai nodded, a kite turned over and went downstairs, the distance was too far and there were too many noises, I didn't hear anything, and saw Song Bai followed the man with a sneer and said a few words What, then took out a token and held it under the man's nose.

The official froze in an instant, fell to his knees and kept kowtowing.

The little bastard who was hung outside saw his father kowtow to Song Bai, his face was already full of panic.I smiled and patted his head.

Kicked to the steel plate this time!
