Chapter 306: The Prime Minister's Xiaojiao is a Black Heart Lotus 89

Chapter 306 The Prime Minister’s little Jiaojiao is a black-hearted lotus (89)

Gu Mo: "..."

He smiled and closed his eyes: "It's just some past events."

Although he spoke calmly, Bai Wu still heard a hint of confusion in his voice.

Bai Wu feigned displeasure and snorted: "Could it be that you were beaten by your former lover? After all, you rejected me so many times, and you still have a cinnabar mole hidden somewhere that you can't forget."

Gu Mo sighed and rubbed her face: "Are you talking nonsense again? There is no cinnabar mole, you are just a difficult dodder flower."

Bai Wu:?

He actually said she was a dodder?!

All right.

She does look quite similar.

"But since you want to know so much, I might as well tell you." Gu Mo's voice gradually became softer, "I just don't know if you will hate me after hearing this..."

Bai Wu paused, raised her head and kissed his chin: "How could it be? You are just thinking nonsense."

Gu Mo looked at the determination in her eyes, and the ice abyss in his heart had completely melted and turned into a pool of spring water.

The abyss between them no longer exists.

He should also look forward now.

The past moment, let it go away with the cold winter.

Gu Mo moved his lips and spoke after a long time: "You should know that I was brought back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by my mentor. Before that, I had been an orphan..."

In fact, he is not an orphan.

It's just that his parents couldn't afford to raise him, so they left him in the wilderness.

Fortunately, he did not die but was picked up.

But if he had known that the situation would be like that in the next few years, he would rather starve to death in the wilderness.

The people who picked him up were a couple with extremely bad conduct. They made a living by stealing in their early years.

Later, when they got a little older, they found that they were gradually unable to do what they wanted, so they began to deliberately train "successors".

But it's not easy to train a "successor". The pickpocket industry is like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. Not only do you need to move your head quickly, but you also need to use your hands quickly.

So that couple raised seven or eight children in succession, but none of them were satisfied.

The unsatisfactory result is to mutilate the limbs of those children, lie about being born with a disease, and make them beg on the streets to gain sympathy.

All the money they collected would be pocketed by the couple, but they did not take good care of the young children. Instead, they beat and scolded them, treated them like animals, and their food and clothing were extremely crude.

Unfortunately.

He also became one of those people.

It's just that he was born smart and was loved by the couple, so he was spared the torture to the point of becoming disabled.

The couple seemed to have seen the hope of having a successor, so they devoted all their efforts to him.

The young children who lived with him under the same roof ostracized him because of this, and vented all their grievances on him whenever the couple was not around.

And he could only grit his teeth and endure it all.

In the gloomy childhood, there was no hope.

He was in a stinky place, with no one to teach him about right and wrong, and no one to pity and love him.

Until the thirteenth year of Taihe.

Everything has turned around.

That year, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in Shu, which had never seen much snow. The endless snow fell for seven days, and everything in the sky and the earth was covered in pale white.

When a great disaster comes, the whole of Sichuan is wailing, and the people are in dire straits.

All the prominent local people fled the place, and the result was that he wandered around for half a month without stealing any money.

With no source of income, the couple showed their cruel faces again. He received an unprecedented beating, and was even thrown into the ice and snow in the end.

There is no warmth in the cold world.

He lay miserably in the snow, convinced that he was going to die in this whiteness.

But then the couple took him back and told him the good news with a smile on their faces:

"A high-ranking official has come to Shu. I heard he is also a prime minister. He must have collected a lot of bribes along the way. Go and get those things back."

"Don't worry, don't be afraid. His money is just handed in by those officials who squeezed our people's hard-earned money. We are doing justice to God."

They always use such high-sounding words to cover up their dirty thoughts.

But he didn't understand at the time, and he thought that he had done nothing wrong and that everything was just for survival.

He stepped ahead of time and entered the courtyard where the so-called prime minister temporarily lived on a snowy night.

Gu Mo huddled in the corner and waited until midnight before the lights in the Prime Minister's room were extinguished.

He skillfully lit the incense and got into the room skillfully, but the scene in front of him shocked him greatly.

Where are the countless gold, silver and jewelry that the couple mentioned?

Looking around, there was only a square wooden table, a stool with one leg missing, and piles of scraps of books and papers on the table.

Gu Mo was unwilling to give in. How could such a high-ranking official from the capital have nothing in the house?

He had also burglarized the homes of some officials before, and they were filled with treasures he had never seen before.

And those officials did not dare to announce that they had lost something, after all, the origins of those treasures were extremely unclean.

Therefore, he especially likes to go to the homes of officials.

I also really enjoy seeing the funny look of them losing their beloved ones but not daring to pursue them.

Gu Mo thought that all officials were just like this.

This prime minister will be even more so.

So he started rummaging around the house.

But in the end, I only found a wooden box that looked relatively valuable.

He opened the box excitedly, thinking that it must contain some priceless treasure.

Unfortunately, there is only a roll of paper and a crudely made wooden hairpin.

Out of curiosity, Gu Mo opened the roll of paper, but was shocked the next second.

The paper was densely filled with names, and the bright red blood pierced his eyes.

This is a blood seal.

It is a letter written in blood by hundreds of thousands of refugees from Shu who risked their lives to remonstrate.

It was only later that he realized that the disaster caused by the snow disaster was far more serious than he imagined.

Not only were corpses scattered everywhere, but the refugees even went so far as to exchange their children for food.

However, officials from both the upper and lower levels of the government came to support each other and successfully suppressed the disaster.

It was only in the end that the desperate refugees risked their lives and went to Beijing to submit a letter in blood, which attracted the emperor's attention.

The Holy Emperor was furious and sent Prime Minister Su Yuanlin to personally inspect the situation.

And the letter he held in his hand was the bloody complaint of countless refugees.

Although he was young and didn't understand the weight of this blood book, he was shocked by the blood words on it and his eyes became wet.

He still didn't understand why he was crying.

Now that I think about it, it should be the empathy for fellow compatriots and the shock of humanity that are engraved in my bones.

The shock came so suddenly that he panicked at that moment and was at a loss to collect the box and prepare to put it in its place.

But the more panicked, the easier it was to do bad things. When he left, he knocked over the wick that was not completely extinguished. The wick was wrapped in lamp oil and instantly burst into flames, lighting a table full of books and papers.
