Years ago, because he couldn't stand the repeated assassinations of Li Chuang's men, Chang Yu decided to use his own body to retaliate and sent people to Xi'an to apply eye drops to Li Zicheng. Based on the situation at that time, Li Zicheng had stabilized Xi'an. He was originally in Xi'an.
A large number of Jin Yiwei over there have either betrayed, been killed or been forced to withdraw from the realm. Only a handful of well-hidden spies are lurking silently, but it is extremely difficult to do anything. They can't even collect intelligence, let alone plot an assassination.
.
So under the circumstances at that time, Chang Yu sent Wu Shu and others there without much hope, nor did he expect them to make much noise. After all, Li Zicheng was too popular in the west, and nine out of ten people were his idiots.
Fans, they are all Chaoyang people, it is difficult to defeat them.
But it’s not that there is no place to stand. Isn’t there still 10% of the soil? Ordinary people have been brainwashed to follow Li Chuang and scream, but as for some landlords and gentry, to be honest, Li Chuang started to attack them, so this kind of
The crowd hated Li Chuang with all their heart.
Isn't this scene a bit familiar? We were copying Li Chuang's route at that time, and we did a pretty good job. We were better than our masters.
At that time, Chang Yu wanted to mobilize some experienced veterans of Jin Yiwei to do this, but Wu Shu volunteered and said he would take the opportunity to hone himself, so Chang Yu agreed and sent Wang Lang and Li Bingxiao to go with them. Of course, some Jin Yiwei and Fanzi were also included.
.
Because the Yellow River defense line was tightly sealed at that time, a group of people traveled across the mountains and ridges in a long way, so there was no news for half a year. At that time, Chang Yu thought that their entire army was wiped out. It was not until the Yellow River negotiations that sporadic news came. A few people actually sent Xi'an to Xi'an.
The city has been restless, especially in the past six months. Almost every attack has been successful. They even visited the Prince of Qin's Mansion several times at night. Although it was difficult for the big bosses such as Li Chuang to attack in the face of tight protection, many of the smaller bosses under his command were assassinated.
The Li Chuang Group offered a heavy reward for their heads.
Although the imperial court and Li Chuang had made peace with each other at this time, both parties knew that it was just for the sake of the overall situation. The imperial court was determined to kill Li Chuang, but it was just that they could not do such a thing on the surface, and Li Chuang was also worried about it.
He knew full well that his people could not enter the imperial city to kill the emperor, but they could assassinate the eunuch who liked to run around. Once he succeeded, there would be many benefits. Whether he would honestly return to the imperial court or rebel again, the imperial court would not be able to decide.
His person.
A few months ago, Jiang Fa was ordered to set up the Dragon Gate Inn in Wuchang to deal with Li Chuang's assassination organization Shence. He sent people to Xi'an to get in touch with Wu Pan and others, and ordered him to temporarily withdraw his efforts to seek stability and accuracy, and not to assassinate him yet.
Those little fish and shrimps turned their attention to dealing with Shen Ce, finding out their details, and at the same time entrusted Wu Shu and the other three as hall masters.
Chang Yu has always valued Wu Shu. Although he is biased against the theory and practical strategies of his martial arts, he really likes his personality and character very much. All records about Wu Shu call him a strange man, a prodigy, an arrogant character, and an informal person.
, he doesn’t stick to trivial matters, he is free and easy and wanders around the world.
This is also a good knife, but it lacks training. Once it is sharpened in the future, it will be good for you!
At dusk, when the heat had subsided, when the man came to refill the water, he informed Chang Yu that the two battalions had crossed the river and set up camp outside the city.
As for why the two battalions had to cross the water from the other side, this was actually the itinerary they had discussed a few days ago. Chang Yu wanted to go north, but taking the water route was too slow and detoured, so he decided to go directly north from Anqing land.
Chang Yu walked to the window and looked out. Outside the window was the street. Pedestrians were walking in a hurry. Some were in a hurry to leave the city, some were in a hurry to go home, and some were sitting in front of their homes waiting for dinner.
Diagonally opposite the door of a restaurant, there was a monk standing in front of him, holding a sword and asking for alms, which attracted people's attention. Some diners offered him steamed buns, but the monk shook his head and refused. He only wanted money, which aroused indignation. Many people pointed and whispered.
Cursing, Fanseng stood quietly at the door of the restaurant without changing his expression. The waiter wanted to drive him away, but it was obvious that Fanseng was a burly man with a fierce face and a tough guy. He felt weak and let him stand there.
There was a clanging sound, and a few copper coins were beating in the bowl. Monk Fan was startled. Just as he was about to raise his eyes to see who the kind person was, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "It's a miracle that you didn't starve to death even though you're such a scumbag."
.
If anyone else had said this, Duoji would have punched him with his temper. He did not dare to do this, or even look at it. He pinched a Buddha seal to show his gratitude, and the voice in his ear came again: "I will take you out to practice, you
How about he go to the road himself? Can he walk a little further and just stand in front of me..."
Duo Ji felt miserable, and I didn’t want to do anything, but Ji Ji asked me to follow closely, so that if something happens, I can take action in time... There is no way to explain the suffering, and there is no way to explain it, because Chang Yu turned around and left after whispering
, but others started pointing again: "Brother, if you really have money to spend, it would be better to go to Wanhua Tower for entertainment than to give it to this monk..."
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, and just walked along the street to look at the flowers. The sun was about to set and hung red on the peak above the city wall. The sky was filled with tile clouds as the sun set. It was going to be another hot day tomorrow.
A wailing cry startled Chang Yu who was looking up at the clouds. He turned around and saw the wooden door of a house on the street opening. Several big men with sinister faces dragged a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old out. The girl
Her face turned pale with fright, and she struggled desperately while wailing: "I won't go, mother, mother, I won't go, let me go..." A woman in her thirties, with tears on her face, rushed towards her and tried to pull her away.
The big man kicked his legs on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Bah, the big man spat: "I've said all the good things, but it's unethical to repay him. If you feel you've been wronged, go to the Yamen and sue me!"
"Mom, mother, what's wrong with you..." The girl who was dragged struggled and shouted hysterically when she saw this. However, she was held tightly, but her shouts immediately attracted passers-by and neighbors, who flocked to watch the fun. If you are brave,
They shouted, "What are you doing in broad daylight?"
"What are you doing? Asking for a debt!" A black-faced man snorted: "It is only natural to pay back debts. His father owed money, and he pledged it to us with a white paper." As he spoke, the paper in his hand shook.
, and did not forget to glare provocatively at the citizen who was fighting an injustice: "You are a good person, or if you pay back the money for him, we will release him immediately..."
After hearing these words, the onlookers who were originally agitated immediately became mute...
This may be unbelievable in future generations, and it is 100% illegal. But nowadays, not only is there a law to follow, but it is even considered reasonable and reasonable in people's cognition. People and animals can be mortgaged and bought and sold!
Human trafficking has been around since ancient times, and there are laws to follow. During the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court had a specialist who specialized in human trafficking, called a "pawnee". According to the records of "Zhou Li", "The hostage controlled the market's goods, bribes, people, cattle and horses, and weapons."
, chariot, rare.”
In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang even encouraged people to sell people and sell their children in exchange for food to satisfy their hunger. By the Sui Dynasty, he had received explicit support from the court, and by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people had begun to collect human trafficking taxes.
It can be said that until the Republic of China, this business was either legal or a gray industry that the government turned a blind eye to, with huge profits and prosperity. Of course, the legality mentioned here is trafficking, that is, voluntary, while trafficking is illegal.
Selling is legal, not to mention mortgaging or buying and selling one's own children. Even Chang Yu has nothing to say. After all, he has also bought many servants from Yapo when he first traveled through time.
Seeing that the people watching were dumbfounded, the big man waved his hand and his men dragged the girl away. The girl's heartbreaking cries were arousing sympathy, but everyone could only watch helplessly.
Chang Yu was used to seeing the suffering in the world and thought he had long been numb, but when he saw the girl struggling hysterically and the woman crawling on the ground to catch up, he still couldn't help it and shouted: "Wait!
"
Immediately, dozens of eyes came to him, and someone recognized him: "Hey, isn't this the little brother who gave alms to Fan Monk just now? Hey, little brother, why don't you buy that poor girl? It would be nice to be a daughter-in-law.
Okay, if you are taken away by them, you will end up in a pit of fire..."
The group of people turned around and looked at each other in shock. The black-faced man who led the group saw that he was a strong young man, and looked disdainful: "Hey, the male Bodhisattva is here. Do you want to be chivalrous and righteous, or do you want to accumulate virtue and do good deeds?"
Chang Yu's face was expressionless: "It is natural to pay back debts. How much does he owe you?"
"Not much, fifty taels!" The big man chuckled and shook the paper in his hand. The onlookers exclaimed, "Fifty taels, it's a huge amount. In these years of disaster, even buying ten girls wouldn't cost so much."
