turmoil

In the 21st year of Great Yin Chengping, Qinghuan Building.

When the gavel was photographed, there was a lingering sound of "pop", which shocked everyone in the audience.

"...The story I'm going to tell you today happened in the fiefdom of Huainan King of Great Yin. What, there is no Huainan King now? Hehe, don't worry, just listen to me slowly.

Three years ago, the imperial court took back the Huainan fief - the last generation of Huainan kings was surnamed Liu, with a single name of "An".This lord has no ability, no bad deeds, mediocre aptitude, unknown, relying on the prosperity of the four realms, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he can always be a successful lord.He is weak at the knees, and he is destined to have only one son in his near years. He loves him like a treasure, and he will never refuse to agree to everything.Over time, a naughty little magic star was raised.

This son of a demon star has a good father, and he usually bullies others or commits crimes.One day, he was wandering in the street. He wanted to go to the red building to have fun, but he met a folk girl on the way.

The woman's surname is Zhang, and she is from Huainan. Her father died young, and there is only an old mother in the family.That day, she was going to the street with her old mother to sell mountain products, but she didn't read the almanac before going out, so she ran into this disaster by accident.The little girl from the Zhang family is only fifteen years old. Although she is a commoner and a Jingchai, she can't hide her national beauty.When the prince of the demon star saw him at a glance, he was immediately startled as a celestial being, and he was about to snatch him into the palace and take him as his concubine.

Aunt Zhang's husband died early, so she only has such a daughter, who looks like a lifeline, how can she be willing to follow?Seeing her daughter being dragged onto the horse, she hugged Liu Shizi's rein and said that she would not let go. She was dragged half a long street, leaving a long bloodstain on the bluestone slab, hitting her head on the stone lion at the gate of the palace, and died .

Miss Zhang's family was originally a weak woman, she was overwhelmed by the sudden change, and she would only mourn and cry when she entered the Huainan Palace.The demon star son was annoyed, so he left her in a small courtyard, and after a long time, he completely forgot about this person.

That Liu Shizi was born restless, he got into a life lawsuit and was imprisoned by his father for ten days and half a month, and then he went out to spend time and drink.Within half a year, he married a concubine again.

No one knows the girl's surname, birth place, or if there are any elders in the family. All I know is that she is born with a beautiful face, and the world is very colorful, and seven points are in her.Liu Shizi fell in love with him so much that he even moved the idea of ​​the matchmaker marrying, and chose a good day to carry the girl into the Huainan Palace in a big red sedan chair.

King Huainan has such a son, he is so precious, as long as he is willing to study at ease, he is allowed to marry a folk woman who doesn't know where he came from.It is said that on the day of the big wedding, the ten-mile long street was crowded with people, with colored silks hung on both sides of the street and peonies of all over the world.

Liu Shizi sat proudly in his new house, waiting for his "beauty" to enter the bridal chamber, but what was waiting was not a boundless spring, but a handful of blood pouring down the sky.

No one knew what happened that night, but when it was dawn, the guard who was watching the night suddenly realized that something was wrong, stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the door of the bridal chamber was locked from the inside, only endless blood overflowed from the crack of the door.

The servant turned pale with fright, fearing that there would be thieves in the mansion, he hurriedly summoned his companions, forced the wedding room open, just took one look, and was almost frightened mad on the spot... Readers, guess what?It turned out that the prince of Huainan died unexpectedly, his body was dismembered, and his broken arms and legs were scattered all over the ground.The "bride" he married was wearing a wedding dress, standing in a pool of blood, and when he looked back faintly, half of his face was stained with blood.

It is embarrassing to say that this "bride" is not a girl's family, but a young man, who is the eldest son of Zhang!On the same day, Zhang's old mother was dragged to death in the street, and her daughter snatched into the palace, causing passers-by to look sideways, but because of the power of the Huainan palace, they dared not say anything more.Afterwards, the King of Huainan sent someone to inquire, and learned that apart from the mother and daughter, the Zhang family had an eldest son, but he went out to take the exam at the time of the township exam, so he escaped by accident.

The King of Huainan was determined to eradicate his son's future troubles, and sent assassins to hunt down the patriarch's son. Although this man was a frail scholar, he was quite clever. Rivers and lakes.The King of Huainan only thought that he was afraid, so he thought he was at ease, but who knew that the eldest son of the Zhang family did not go far away, but sneaked back quietly, changed his appearance, "married" into the Huainan Prince's mansion, and caused a huge commotion turmoil.

The king of Huainan lost his beloved son, and was about to skin the patriarch's son, but the news spread to the capital at this time.It turned out that Zhang's parents and sons answered the test paper so well that he won the favor of the chief examiner and was named Xie Yuan.The chief examiner attached great importance to the talent of Zhang's parents and sons, and never thought of such a trouble, he couldn't help being shocked, angry, angry and hurt, and sent a note back to the capital, actually suing the Huainan king.

All the judges don't know that the Huainan Prince and his son are doing mischief in the fiefdom, the court is not unaware, but the throne is imperially entrusted, so it is not easy to take it back for nothing.Now that there is a reason, it is natural to act resolutely, but within half a month, the decree of withdrawing the feudal clan was sent to the Huainan Palace with Jin Yiwei, and the Huainan Prince and his son were escorted back to the capital to wait for the decision..."

The storyteller paused, picked up the tea bowl and moistened his throat, and some spectators eagerly asked: "The Huainan prince and his son deserve what they did, so what about Zhang's son who avenged his mother?"

The storyteller slapped the gavel and sighed: "No matter how bad the Huainan prince and his son are, they are super-class vassal kings after all. Even if they make mistakes, they should be interrogated by the three divisions and punished by the court. Filial piety moved the heavens, but it violated the criminal law, and according to the law, it is beheaded for public display..."

There was a sudden exclamation from the audience, and some spectators said angrily: "It turns out that the father and son of Huainan disregarded human life, and the court ignored it. The eldest son took revenge for his mother. What's wrong? Sit back and watch your mother get killed and your sister get robbed?"

The storyteller drooped his eyelids: "This judge is right, but there are no rules, there are family rules, and the country has the laws of the country. If everyone is like the eldest son Zhang, who will act recklessly because of his grievances, What is this world like? How does the court govern the country?"

This storyteller has been around the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has some knowledge. He said a few words lightly, leaving the onlookers speechless.The onlooker who questioned him just now grieved for a while, and finally felt a little unwilling: "That Zhang's eldest son... really died like this?"

The storyteller said quietly: "Speaking of which, the son of Zhang's eldest son was selected as a young man and is full of talent. When it comes to the talents of the world, he should have a place, but it's just a wrong step, and he will never be able to recover... He has already won the prize. If he can go to Beijing to take the exam, Senior high school Sanyuan, if you report your grievances to the court, you might not be able to get justice back, but it's a pity..."

"It's a pity" what was followed, he didn't finish, but there was a "coax" underneath, and the discussion started like a frying pan.The curtains of the private seats on the second floor are drooping, behind the low table sits a figure, who looks like a young gentleman, drinking wine by himself.Hearing this, he put the wine glass back on the table, his thick eyelashes half covered his eyes, and the hand holding the glass was as white as suet jade.

"...No rules, no rules," he raised the corners of his mouth, with a half-smile, "It's easy to say, but is it so easy to take it seriously?"

There is a saying that "the son of heaven breaks the law and the common people commit the same crime", but there is also a saying that "wealth and poverty are destined to be rich and poor". If you touch the royal side, you will be high above, inlaid with gold and treasures, and ordinary people will feel humiliated by rubbing the corner of their clothes. How can they be compared?

Just talk.

The man raised his neck and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came quickly, and the young man didn't turn his head, he heard someone kneeling beside him.The man's voice was extremely low, as if he was afraid of alarming others: "...Leader, it's time to start."

The young gentleman put down his cup, shook his clothes and got up.

"Let's go," he said lightly, "Go to Beile now, it's still growing along the way."

In March of the 21st year of Taiping, a caravan set off from the capital and went deep into the grassland without making a sound.

In the 22nd year of Taiping, Beile, a grassland tribe, sent troops to the south, and the Marquis of Dingbian of Great Yin led the troops to meet the enemy.It is said that in that battle, Cao Mang was covered with blood and corpses, and the Marquis of Dingbian retreated [-] li away from the Chile River, beheading more than [-] enemies.

At the end of the 22nd year of Taiping, Beile sent envoys to the Yin army's garrison to negotiate peace with the mighty Marquis of Dingbian.
