A wisp of orchid fragrance is like a dream, like an illusion entering the country to complain about hesitation.
Tang Xiaoyu lay on the soft bed. As his eyes were hazy, he felt a warm current surging in his body, as if he was feeling a little carefree when he was drunk.
His consciousness gradually cleared up and he suddenly heard the sound of conversation.
"Mister Ouyang, how are Young Master's injuries?”
"Although Young Master's head was injured by a blunt object, it's fortunate that his life isn't in danger. It's just that his injuries are very serious, and I'm afraid he'll suffer from a heart attack!”
"Heart loss? No matter what, I'll have to trouble Mr. Ouyang to treat Young Master. The future of the Li family depends on Young Master's words!”
"Why do you say that, Secretary Li?"
"In front of Mister Ouyang, this lowly official will speak frankly. The imperial court had been tyrannical for ten years, increasing taxes, seizing able-bodied men, and seizing farmland. The burden on the people was heavy. Although the officials from all over the country had spoken out to plead for the people, it was a pity that they had all fallen into the sea.
The emperor was addicted to wine and sex all day long and believed in the words of crafty sycophants. Without passing the deliberation of the courtiers, he added and changed the laws without authorization, using torture such as skinning, stuffing grass, cutting the waist, and sitting together. Suppressing the loyal and honest, bullying the people, the number of people who died unjustly in the past ten years was countless. In the past three years, there were many droughts in the prefectures and counties. The people affected had no harvest and were miserable. The Imperial Court did not allocate silver in time to provide food relief and compensation. It was already a move that lost the hearts of the people. They still did not know how to restrain themselves and even made things worse. They wantonly made up excuses to increase taxes and supply, seizing labor to build. It's making the heavens angry!"
Tang Xiaoyu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Oh my god, where did my brother's space-time travel machine send me? That Tang Xiaofeng kept saying that he wanted to take a photo with Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, invite Tang Bohu to draw a portrait of him in the Ming Dynasty, and play chess with Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty…
He had said it so beautifully, but it turned out that he was not sure which dynasty he would send him to. What a scammer! He didn't even know where the space-time travel machine would send him, and he could still swear that the safety factor of this space-time travel machine was 100%.
Looking at the cruel reality in front of him, there was absolutely no hope of returning! Tang Xiaofeng! Tang Xiaofeng! If he didn't have the ability, then he shouldn't have researched the space-time travel machine! It was a crime to betray the trust of one's loved ones. It was a crime to deliberately hurt one's family.
But thinking about it, she was still too stupid. How could she have been soft-hearted and believed him? When had her brother ever been so serious? In the past twenty years, there had only been three such incidents.
The first time was when he was in junior high school. He was clearly in a relationship at a young age, but he still lied through his teeth and denied it. The seriousness of his words made his parents feel that they were doubting their good son. They were extremely ashamed.
The second time was to look for a job. He swore that he would become a senior executive of a big company, but in the end? He was the one who paid for the research on the space-time travel machine with his friends.
The third time was this time. He had emphasized safety so seriously. Now, it seemed that the safety factor was absolutely zero. For now, he could only go with the flow. But from the tone of these two brothers, it seemed that this dynasty was not peaceful!
Tang Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes and looked around the room. What she saw made her dizzy. It was simply countless banknotes swirling in front of her.
There were four pictures of maidservants coming out of the bath on the wall of the antique room. Each of the beauties was like a fairy, delicate and graceful. Although the aura between their eyebrows was different, they were all devastatingly beautiful. Every frown and smile hid their charm, and every move they made was full of enchantment.
On the table, the precious ancient celadon waved at her with its unique charm. It had been converted into RMB, which had reached eight digits before the decimal point.
Under the curling green smoke from the jade incense burner, it looked even more exquisite and delicate! It made her sigh repeatedly. It was really a rare and precious antique!。
An old man with a white beard over his chest was sitting on a rosewood chair at the side. He stroked his beard and nodded."I've already heard of this. Now that the people are boiling with resentment, the vassal kings of all places have raised their poles. Although they are under the banner of pleading for the people, how many people are really doing it for the people of the world? He was just fishing in troubled waters for his own self-interest and wanted to win the world! The Li family had always been peaceful, and they were far away in a remote village. Although the situation was like this, it should not be a big deal for the Li family!”
"When the world is in chaos, the people will revolt. Pingjin State is no exception!" the green-robed manager said solemnly. Although Pingjin was located at the frontier fortress and far away from the imperial court, the three years of insect disasters had caused the people to complain endlessly. Now, regardless of whether it was farmers or merchants, they could not eat a full meal. Even in Pingjin County, there were cases of exchanging sons for food. Yi Zi Street, which had disappeared for a hundred years, appeared again.”
The old man was shocked and leaned forward." Is this a street specially used to exchange children for food?" he asked.”The novel network didn't jump.
"Yes, this street is not anywhere else. It's the street behind the Li Mansion."”
"How could the commoners be so bold to do such a thing in the back street of the Prefecture Overseer's mansion? Aren't you afraid that Old Master will punish you?" The novel network didn't jump.
"Punishment? Sigh, how do we deal with it? This is a big deal. In order to prevent the rebels, the imperial court ordered the entire Pingjin City to be sealed off. Most of the people's fields were outside the city. If they could not be cultivated, they would naturally be abandoned. In this city, it was like sitting and eating! The Prefecture Overseer had spent a lot of effort on this, but he was helpless! On one hand, the imperial court was strict, and on the other hand, the people were complaining.
Patrol officer Hu He's soldiers were all local conscripts, and most of the family members were local. How could the rations given by the Imperial Court be enough to feed their families? Food was the most important thing for the people. If they couldn't even eat, naturally, the morale of the army would be unstable. Because of this, Hu He had come to the Prefecture Overseer many times, saying that he was pleading for the people to open the granary to release food for disaster relief. In fact, he wanted to let the families of those soldiers eat their fill and stabilize the hearts of his soldiers! However, the city's stock was empty, and the only thing left was military rations.”
The old man thought for a moment and said,"It seems that Hu He wants to push the Prefecture Overseer to the top of the wave!"”
"This Patrol Inspector is brave and courageous, but his strategy is lacking. It must have been the idea of his subordinate, Thousand Households Bai. He pleaded for the people. Once this matter was spread, it would be supported by the people and soldiers regardless of whether it succeeded or not. He could even turn everyone's attention to the Prefecture Overseer.
Letting the Prefecture Overseer become a target in front of everyone, releasing food to the disaster relief was a crime of misusing military rations without authorization. If the Imperial Court investigated, they would have to confiscate the entire family, and no one in the Li family would be spared. If we don't release food to relieve the disaster, the army will rebel, and the people will rebel. Who will rebel? Of course, it was the Prefecture Overseer who did not help. It was not Hu He who pleaded for the lives of the people, nor was it that smiling tiger, Thousand Households Bai. The reason why the back street of the Li Residence had become Yi Zi Street was probably due to the arrangement of Thousand Households Bai. He had led his troops to chase away the commoners who were exchanging their children. Only the back street of the Li Residence was left untouched, so the commoners would naturally come here.
This way, he was secretly putting pressure on the Prefecture Overseer, wanting him to make up his mind earlier. Was he guarding the food for the imperial court, or did he want the people to live?”
The old man's eyes flashed." They want to make a big deal out of this. Could it be that they already have the intention to rebel and want to force the Prefecture Overseer to submit?"”
The registrar nodded." That's right. I've already received news that Hu He and Zhou Zhi, who has the reputation of being a virtuous king, have been in frequent contact." It seemed that they had already contacted each other and wanted to get their hands on Ping Jin. He must have some scruples about the five thousand soldiers under the Prefecture Overseer, so he used this matter to force the Prefecture Overseer to submit.”
The old man twirled his beard and said,"Since you've already seen through the matter so thoroughly, you should have let the Prefecture Overseer make plans earlier!"”
Hearing this, the registrar's expression changed. He shook his head and sighed."Mister Ouyang also knows that Old Master Li doesn't have any children. For the sake of the rule that hereditary positions were only passed on to men and not women. Old Master had always claimed that he had a son. Although Miss Li had been raised as a man since she was young, she was still a woman! Indecisive, unable to take on great responsibilities. Even if he became the hereditary Prefecture Overseer, he was still a yes-man and could not act decisively!
I've already told her about it, but it's been three days and she still hasn't made up her mind. Today, he went out on his own and was knocked unconscious by the evildoers and thrown into the water, almost losing his life. If it wasn't for Guard Liu's cleverness and timely rescue, the Li family would probably have no heir!
If anything happens to the only descendant of the Li family, how can I face General Li in the netherworld? I, Li Mu, am only here today because of General Li's kindness. Of course, I have to protect the Li family even if I have to die!”
Hearing this, the old man was moved. If it wasn't for General Li's help, he would have died in a foreign land. How could there be such a peaceful and happy day like today? This Li Mu did not have a deep relationship with him. It was only because he was the Li family's master that he had some contact. It seemed that he was trying to find out his feelings by being so sincere to him today. He wanted to see if he was still willing to help the Li family escape this calamity. Thinking of the kindness that Old Master Li had shown him, thinking of the friendship that he had watched Li Yi grow up with, now that the Li family was facing a disaster, how could he sit idly by? If he did nothing today, how would he have the face to see his benefactor when he went to the netherworld?
The old man was moved." What Chief Li said is true. I, Ouyang Jin, am also indebted to Master Li's grace. Now that the Li family is in trouble, I will definitely do my best to help." Today, I'll bring my family to the Li residence and swear to advance and retreat with the Li family!”
With tears in his eyes, Treasurer Li stood up and cupped his fists."Mr. Ouyang knows everyone in the world. With Mr. Ouyang's help, the Li family will definitely be able to escape this calamity. Thank you for your great kindness!”
"Please rise, Treasurer Li. From now on, you and I will be a family. For the safety of the Li family, we will do our best. I'll go home now, pack my things, and move to the Li Residence. I'll have to trouble Bookkeeper Li to help arrange it.”
"I'll order someone to send Mr. Ouyang home and help you take care of everything. I've prepared some food and wine to welcome Mr. Ouyang!”
The old man hurriedly walked out of the door. He suddenly turned around and whispered,"If the Prefecture Overseer wakes up, you have to observe his words and actions to see if he suffers from a heart attack. If he's lucky and is fine, you have to make him make up his mind early!”
"Yes, yes!" said Li Zhubo respectfully.”
Tang Xiaoyu opened his eyes and blinked mischievously when he heard the sound of their footsteps getting further and further away. He felt that his body was fine. She got up gently and saw that she was wearing a man's robe with hot flowers. She didn't know what kind of rule it was for a beautiful girl like her to wear men's clothes. Now that he couldn't be particular about it, could he go and argue with them?
He looked around and tiptoed to the door. Looking out, he saw the rockery in the courtyard, the flowing stream, and the carved beams and painted buildings. It had a different atmosphere.
It seemed that the person who saved him was a wealthy family. The Li family? Prefecture Overseer? He wondered how high an official he was. However, from what the two of them said, something big was going to happen here. He was just a passer-by in history, so why should he be involved in this matter? It was still the 36 stratagems, the best strategy. With his intelligence, he wanted to make a living in this backward place. Absolutely no problem!
After making up his mind, he quietly slipped out of the room and hid along the wall. After avoiding a few maids, he found a secluded backyard. The reddish-brown door was tightly shut, and there was a hustle and bustle outside the wall.
Tang Xiaoyu happily stepped forward and opened the door. What greeted her eyes was a spacious street. After taking a few steps, she couldn't help but gasp at the scene on the street!
