In the tenth year of Jinghao, the world was full of epidemics.
The once glorious Yongchang Kingdom completely collapsed after Emperor Liu Qing was killed.
Officials from all over the country ran away, fled, and countless corrupt officials were beaten to death by the "disruptive people".
It can be said that none of the officials under Liu Qing's rule was innocent.
When turbidity becomes a normal state, innocence becomes a sin.
In this soil of exploitation everywhere, honest officials cannot be born.
Either you are in vain or are squeezed out. In such a huge country, there is no place for you to survive.
The internal collapse made it easy for the Dakun Dynasty's southern expedition army to recover its territory.
Fifty thousand people were divided into ten groups and went to each county. Wherever they passed, the people did not resist, but were excited. The city gates were wide open and welcoming each other.
When the bandits heard that Da Kun was back, they went down the mountain one after another, preparing to return to Dangliang people, waiting for the government to divide the land and land.
Who would be able to eat enough and live and work in peace and contentment? Who would be willing to rob the house and kill and set fire all day long?
The originally bleak folk atmosphere suddenly changed, as if every citizen had seen hope in life.
However, the imperial court sent officials to Yongchang State to accept the local area, appease the refugees, and investigate the land. It was a long process, and it would take at least two or three years to produce results.
The troubled times are not so easy to end. The world is still very chaotic and the people are still very miserable.
In Yongchang City, after three months of hard work, the huge palace was finally filled up and turned into a high earth mountain. The finishing work is underway these days.
Ma Liu is a busy man, so he naturally has no time to take charge of the bullshit here. He was called back to Beijing by Emperor Jing Hao within a few days.
Zhang Wu had already given the antidote to Uncle Six, and as for whether to eat it or not, he was not sure.
Shi Fumo also returned to Beijing. With an official position, he pretended to be "Zhao Kunpeng" and it was difficult for him to disappear for too long.
Zhang Wu originally planned to return to Beijing, but in order to avoid any trouble in the high walls of the palace, he stayed for a while longer and set up a Feng Shui pattern before leaving after the completion.
Shi Bodhi was preparing to take Hutu Bao back to Shaolin to practice the Qing Dynasty and personally pass on the Vajra Indestructible Art to A Bao, so that he could be the second protector of Shaolin.
Before leaving, the twin sister who provoked Jiang Bufeng, the pearl of the Jiang family, vowed to look good in Shaolin...
In the county magistrate's office, she always knew Hutubao's true identity, but she didn't guess it. She had to say that love could be fascinating.
Now Shaolin is going to take her lover away and become a monk, so the little girl naturally thinks that Hutubao has captured the old monk's magic.
Just like Fahai back then, he forcibly split up Bai Snake and Xu Xian, and suppressed the White Snake under Leifeng Tower...
Such a sad and beautiful love story made Hutu Bao Buddha unstable.
I stayed in the room with the little girl for seven days and seven nights. When I came out, I was wearing two dark circles, my legs were weak, and I walked on the wall, and finally got the person out.
A Bao can still tell which one is more important.
He is a beggar-born mud-legged girl, what can he use to match the princess of the Jiang family?
If you don’t make any achievements, and if you don’t have Shaolin as your backer, the head of the Jiang family can cut you into pieces.
However, it was precisely because of his sixth uncle's mercy that when he killed the Liu Qing's ninth clan, he released the Jiang family.
Even if you do this, it is easy to cut the grass without eradicating the roots, leaving behind future troubles.
But Uncle Six believed that Hutubao could clean up the Jiang family.
If this great family that has been passed down for 800 years is extremely powerful if it can be used for itself.
Besides, Jiang Bumi is here, and this Immortal King is already Zhang Wu's man, so Uncle Liu naturally wants to go out of the way.
Before saying goodbye to Hutubao, Zhang Wu couldn't help asking:
"Why did Miss Jiang agree to you going to Shaolin?"
Hutubao pointed at the thing under his belt, looked proud, and stuck out his tongue to make a charming licking move and said:
"Of course it's my three-inch tongue and the indestructible Ruyi stick."
“…”
Zhang Wu's face twitched and said speechlessly:
"Serious."
A Bao looked upright and said:
"I made her pregnant with my baby."
Zhang Wu was shocked.
"Then she shouldn't let you go, after all, children cannot be without a father."
"I promise to marry her after I return from my studies."
Hutubao quietly glanced at the old monk standing in the distance, and hehe he leaned over and said:
"I'll go to Shaolin to earn a betrothal gift."
"I heard that the money and power in the world are occupied by a family, and the Shaolin is occupied by nine dou."
A Bao showed a hint of greed and said:
"Anyway, the monks don't spend much money. They pay gifts for Buddha. I will only dismantle Buddha gold. After I get enough, I will go down the mountain. It's better than robbing the family and becoming a bandit?"
Shi Bodhi, whose eyebrows and eyes were drooping in the distance, suddenly his face condensed and he quickly recited the mantra of meditation.
Zhang Wu smiled and praised:
"If you have this enlightenment, as long as you are not beaten to death by the old monk and your demon-subduing uncle, you will definitely be rich enough to defeat the country and your wealth will surpass that of the Jiang family."
"Uncle Master speaks nicely."
Hutu Bao smiled and said a few more words, waved his hand to say goodbye, and left with the old monk.
The figures of the two were shrouded in the afterglow of the sunset, which had a unique artistic conception.
Watching the two of them go away, Zhang Wu laughed and shook his head, and asked at the Immortal King beside him:
"What did your family leader say about Abao?"
Jiang Bumi said:
"I sent me a letter last month and ordered me to break his legs."
"..." Zhang Wu: "What do you patriarch say about our affairs?"
The super strong people trained in the clan are subdued by others and will follow them in the future. If the Jiang family has no objection, it would be strange.
But Jiang Bumi said with a strange expression:
"The patriarch was not angry, but instead asked me to follow you in the future."
"Forehead?"
Zhang Wu asked in surprise:
“Why?”
"You are the Grand Master." Jiang Bumili should have said.
"..." Zhang Wu.
It is not embarrassing to follow the Grand Master and be a follower of the Grand Master.
With this relationship, it is equivalent to the Jiang family also indirectly relying on the Grand Master, and it will be more stable in the future.
"The wisdom of the aristocratic families cannot be underestimated."
Zhang Wu shook his head and sighed and ordered:
"I have nothing to do here for the time being. You can escort your Mingzhu home first. The people in Yongchang City are almost killed by the epidemic. They are a woman who has never practiced martial arts. They should leave earlier."
Jiang Bumi nodded and ordered to leave.
Zhang Wu turned around and looked at the people around him, leaving behind only the old brother Cheng Gou from Tianzhu.
"Dog, what are your plans?"
Cheng Gou shook his head blankly and said:
"I don't know, let's take a look. After two years of life in the world and then go to the barbarians to be secret spies, someone must be watching the fourth prince."
Zhang Wu nodded, sighed and patted Cheng Gou on the shoulder, and the two went back to the inn together.
The brothers around are all old bachelors, and they are just on the waist of the trousers. It is a luxury to get married and have children.
Of course, there were also retired former commanders of the tutoring department, Sun Qianhu, Sun Dehai, and Sun Gang.
He was originally from Yongchang. The name Sun Dehai is his nickname. It comes from a half-knife chopping. It describes him as "conquering people with virtue (knife), and great virtue is like the sea." After being famous for a long time, he was called him
For Sun Dehai.
In fact, his real name is Sun Gang.
The Shadow Guard didn't find him, and he didn't expect the royal family to let him go. It was too extraordinary.
Now Yongchang City is short of food and supplies, and the restaurant cannot even expose it. Early the next morning, Zhang Wu was about to drink porridge with Cheng Gou, and saw Sun Gang coming hurriedly.
Now that everyone's identities have been revealed, Sun Gang shouted:
"Brother Wu, it's almost impossible to take the blame."
"What happened?"
Cheng Gou is more anxious than Zhang Wu. He, a tuberculosis man, has the best relationship with the hunchback in prison, and naturally he is also most concerned about the hunchback.
Zhang Wu frowned and asked:
"Anti-epidemic disease?"
Sun Gang nodded and sighed:
"A few days ago, Luoguo started vomiting, diarrhea, and coughing. He didn't care. I saw the clues and wanted to persuade him to treat him, but he refused. He was already in a coma just now."
Not to mention the serious illness of plague, it was a fatal matter to occasionally experience wind and cold in ancient times.
Taking medicine and taking medicine is a luxury consumption. Ninety percent of the people rely on hard work. Many people cannot afford to be ill and have their lives lost by a small cold.
Sometimes even the family who cares for him will be infected and eventually the whole family will die.
The most useful filial piety in ancient times was to take care of elders infected with wind and cold in front of the bed, not afraid of infection or illness, which was equivalent to giving up your life and naturally everyone praised it.
Although the hunchbacked Luoguo is the chief banner of the Fufusi, he has never practiced martial arts. Under the epidemic, his resistance is no better than that of ordinary people.
The promotion of the position of the tutoring department is rarely related to force unless you are a law enforcement team.
Spy only needs to provide valuable information, and if they contribute more, they will rise.
"Go and go and have a look."
Zhang Wu stood up and the three of them rushed to the hunchbacked house.
There are some fences on the walls in a dirt house. The weather has just become warmer and the room is still very cold.
He lay on the bed with a hunched back, covered with a thick quilt, his head trembled, his face was as silly as earth. He was already terminally ill.
When Luo Guo heard someone coming, he opened his tired and unconscious eyes. Zhang Wu had turned into a guai Er, and Cheng Gou also wore a human skin mask of a sick man.
After glanced over, Luo Guo forced a smile and said:
"You're here."
"Don't talk, have a good rest."
Zhang Wu grabbed Luo Guo's wrist and prepared to take the pulse, but the other party took his hand back and shook his head and said:
"Brother Guai, I know you have great supernatural powers, but I have suffered all my life and have lived enough. Although Fenghan is a little uncomfortable, he is finally a good death."
"You..."
Zhang Wu frowned and looked back at Sun Gang and Cheng Gou, asking what they meant.
Hunchbacked the burial, shaking his head slowly to the two of them, and said firmly:
"I am almost forty years old, and I can't compare to those who live long, but I have more than that. I can be a secret agent of the tutoring department in this life and see the turbulent and strange things of the big guys, and it will be worthwhile to do this life."
Cheng Gou squatted beside the kang and grabbed Luo Guo's hand and advised:
"As long as you get better, you can continue to be a spy. Let's penetrate the barbarians together."
"Let's forget it."
Hunchbacked and said self-deprecatingly:
"Teacher, I'll tell you the truth. The Shadow Guard really didn't catch me, otherwise if I were exposed, you would have died long ago."
"..." Cheng Gou.
Zhang Wu and Sun Gang looked at each other and looked at each other.
Luo Guo said:
"I'm not hiding it. If I fall into the hands of the Shadow Guard, I will take everything without being punished. Outsiders don't understand it, but I know how greedy I am. Before joining the Funeral Office, I was on the street
When I saw the officers beating people and whip blood, I felt very scared. I couldn't sleep for several days. It was my turn, and I didn't think my bones were hard."
This time, Cheng Gou didn't know how to persuade him.
Zhang Wu asked in confusion:
"Since you're scared, why do you think of being a spy?"
"I said I was just looking for excitement. Do you believe me?"
"..." Zhang Wu's face twitched.
Hunchback Luo Guo's face was bloodless, and he suddenly started to cough. After a while, he took a breath and said:
"I grew up in Yongchang City. The farthest place I have been to is only a hundred miles away. What is the capital like? Is it the most prosperous place in the world? Only in my dreams can I think of it."
"In this life, I am like a pig or sheep, and I can't even get out of the shed. I have a chance to be a secret spy and live an unusual life for the people, and it's worth dying."
"After all, this life is too boring."
Zhang Wu and the other two were silent.
All three of them are the top figures in the world, including wealth, power, things that ordinary people cannot reach. They have seen them all.
However, 99% of the people in the world are trapped in a city and a county, and are treated as labor by the government. They face the loess and backs all day long, work hard, work hard, and work diligently to survive.
When you open your eyes and watch the sun rise, close your eyes and watch the sun set, life remains unchanged, without surprises, hope, and no future, and life will end like this.
Life is almost fresh when you see it, and you will naturally experience it by experiencing it first, no matter what the consequences are.
People are not saints, and they do not have such high awareness.
Zhang Wu was silent for a moment, and was not ready to persuade him anymore, but just asked:
"Do you have any other wishes? What else can we do for you?"
After thinking about the hunchback, he asked in great weakness:
"Brother Guai, Brother Sun, what do the upper class powerful people look like?"
Sun Gang replied in a deep voice:
"In terms of food, it is no different from ours in prison. We also eat white rice, eat a few dishes at a time, and wear clothes more elegant than us. Wear silk robes, if you live, live in a luxury courtyard, travel by carriage, and then
Even if you spend more money and be more generous and flatter others, that's all."
A hug-back Luo Guo's face showed a hint of yearning. He raised his hand slightly and pointed to the cabinet. Cheng Gou opened the bag and took out the bag, which cost about a thousand taels of silver.
"These are all the salaries I saved as a secret spy. I didn't dare to spend them before, for fear of exposure, but now I'm not afraid of them."
Luo Guowuli said:
"I dare not think about the powerful and powerful things, but I heard that some rich and rich families and great charity can open a shed to help the people. Today I will spend money and be generous."
After a pause, Luo Guo became weaker and angry and said:
"Teacher... Please help me with a trip... see how much rice can I buy for this money, and give porridge to the people who are still alive in the city."
"good."
Cheng Gou is sank the head.
As a secret spy for years and in prison, he had long been used to life and death. He could die and fulfill his wishes, and had accumulated merits in his previous life.
Zhang Wu gave Hunchback Luo Du a little internal force, left the room and ordered:
"We will act separately. Chenggou, go buy rice and cook porridge, Brother Sun, go prepare coffins and burial items, I will prepare silk shrouds, carriages, etc."
"good."
The three of them acted on their own.
Zhang Wu restored his true appearance and rushed straight to the county magistrate's mansion.
Liu Qing was destroyed, and the entire county magistrate's mansion was directly sealed and sealed, but most of the things inside were there.
Zhang Wu climbed over the wall, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, found two gorgeous silk clothes, and found a luxury treasure car, carrying it out of the county magistrate's mansion.
There was a soldier patrolling outside the door. When he saw it was him, he didn't dare to let anyone go. Instead, he took the initiative to bring a horse to pull a cart.
When Zhang Wu returned to the hunchbacked Luoguo's house, Cheng Gou and Sun Gang were almost back.
After a busy day, I cooked the porridge, put on the silk clothes on the pot, and carried him to the car and sat down. The three of them started to serve porridge along the street.
Zhang Wu led the carriage.
Cheng Gou pushed the cart with a large jar on it, and there was steaming rice porridge inside.
Sun Gang shouted at the top of his voice, "The great charity has given the porridge."
Unfortunately, few people opened the door. The plague spread for three months, and nine out of ten people died of illness.
Occasionally, when people open the door to pick up porridge, Zhang Wu and the others will feel the hope of life.
These survivors were also grateful for the hunchback, and some of them even gave a bow and bow.
Halfway through the journey, he hunched his back and slowly closed his eyes, smiled, and passed away.
