Chapter 1288

"There was a severe drought in Gyeonggi the year before last. My family was originally a wealthy businessman, and I was originally a daughter of a good family. But a drought took the lives of almost everyone in my family."

"The tax collectors were a bunch of wolves. They stripped my house clean, and even I fell into the hands of Ren Yazi. They came to this Ningyu building after many times. Fortunately, my mother took me in."

"It's better for such a country to die than to exist." The girl took a sip from the wine glass, filled it up again, and drank it down again.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Don't you make the young masters unhappy?" The woman in green shirt complained.

The woman seemed to have drunk two glasses of wine and kept talking.

"The imperial court treats us Han people like pigs and dogs. When they leave, we are relieved. I heard that His Highness King Wu is loved by the common people. I often think that if His Highness King Wu becomes the emperor," said the woman Tears welled up suddenly, and she quickly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "Maybe my parents won't die." Her voice suddenly choked up as she spoke.

Zhao Min couldn't help but feel dark when he saw the woman covering her face and crying, her eyes were red and her voice was choked up.

The court of the Great Yuan Dynasty was really unpopular, and the women in the brothel Chuguan didn't have a good impression of the court.

The woman wiped the corners of her eyes, and continued: "But my family is already ruined. I have pity on my younger brother, but he is a first-class outstanding man."

"Reading poetry and books at the age of five and mastering classics and history at the age of eleven should have a good future, but God is not open. A severe drought killed countless people. The drought continued, but the people had no relief."

"No relief?" Zhao Min frowned, "Didn't the court already distribute relief food?"

The woman said sadly: "Young master, you do know that the imperial court has already distributed relief food, but how could you know that the relief food has gone through layers of exploitation, and finally allocated to the local victims, there is not even a single grain of rice left. "

"My mother starved to death. You said that such a court, he can not perish? Why does such a court not perish!"

The girl covered her face with tears as she spoke, "In less than three days, my father will also starve to death." The girl smiled miserably, "In the end I had no choice but to sell myself to Ren Yazi for a bucket of rice. A bucket of rice, I hope my brother can live."

"I don't know where my brother is now." The woman's voice choked up again as she spoke.

"I think my Tang family is a scholarly family from generation to generation. When my father died, he said that the ancestors should not surrender to the so-called Dayuan court with those people."

"After all, the alien rule did not treat us Han people as human beings. There are thousands of miles of barren land, severe drought, starvation and death everywhere, and corpses in the wild. Those princes and nobles, who can understand the suffering of the people."

"This emperor is not the emperor of our Han people." As she spoke, the woman's crying suddenly became louder, and she began to cry.

The woman next to her immediately said: "Sister, what kind of drinking talk are you talking about? Be careful that it comes out of your mouth."

The woman wiped her teardrops with a handkerchief, smiled through her tears, forced a smile on her face, looked at Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min and said: "I think the two young masters should have ambitions in their hearts, so I will say it frankly, and I hope you two don't laugh at me." .”

"The many sisters in my brothel are actually hard-working people. As I said just now, whether the court is here or not has nothing to do with us."

"But we hope that the new king of Wu can treat the common people better, and don't let his family be destroyed in a natural disaster like the parents of the slave family."

Zhang Wuji's heart was sour, he finally began to understand why Ying Wugou was so cruel to the Mongols, and at the same time sent all these officials, businessmen and gentry to the prison in Daxing Prison in Jiangnan, the original reason was here.

The woman wiped away her tears and picked up the wine glass, "The two young masters laughed and heard some complaints from the slave family. Please forgive me. The slave family toasts the two gentlemen. It is such a beautiful day, so we should enjoy ourselves in time." Said He drank it down with his neck raised, revealing his fair and slender neck, and the woman next to him also frequently persuaded him to drink.

After drinking a lot of flower wine, Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji didn't inquire about any special news, it was nothing more than that the princes and nobles of the imperial court were packing up the gold and silver and preparing to escape from the capital.

After drinking the flower wine, the two did not rest in the brothel, but paced under the flower corridor on the tall building of Ningyu Building. Zhao Min leaned on the railing and looked at the brightly lit market outside.

But her heart was very entangled, Zhang Wuji felt the depression in Zhao Min's heart, walked to her side and said: "You don't have to worry about what the two of them said."

Zhao Min glanced at Zhang Wuji, and said quietly, "Brother Wuji, is it true that we Mongolians did something wrong?"

Zhang Wuji could tell that Zhao Min wanted to do something, but back then, Zhao Min was the aloof Princess Shao Min, and no one would tell her about these things, and she didn't even care at that time.

It wasn't until she saw the suffering in the world that she realized a little bit.

Zhang Wuji sighed and said: "The imperial court is lenient in its administration, but most places implement a tax package system."

"This tax system is actually raising a bunch of minions for the imperial court. Sometimes I don't understand why these Han people are sometimes more cruel to Han people than Mongolians are to Han people?"

"Sometimes the Mongols just killed the Han people, but these Han people eroded and devoured the flesh and blood of the people inch by inch."

"These people who have been eaten have to continue to work and cultivate the land, and offer them a delicious meal of blood."

"I don't understand what's going on in this world. When I was a child, my parents said that we should respect each other. Everyone in the world is actually the same. That's what my father said. You should have justice and benevolence in your heart."

But this world is obviously too cruel, the reason why the Ming Cult revolted was because they were oppressed by them, but how could the two of them visit the capital city without understanding the purpose of Ying Wugou sending them here.

One is to inquire about the news of the Great Yuan court, and Ying Wugou does not have much hope for this, and the second is to let the two rural people who no longer care about the world understand that there is still a lot in the world. How much suffering.

The metropolis used to be so prosperous, but it is still so under natural and man-made disasters, let alone other places.

Zhang Wuji pointed to the fire in the city in the distance, "Look, there are so many opportunistic and even desperate people, and most of them are in chaos."

Zhao Min followed Zhang Wuji's finger and looked over, there were already several fires in the city, and the Ningyu floor was quite high, they stood under the flower corridor and saw quite a distance.

In the distance of the city, there were several fires bursting out. The fires shone red in the sky, and the sound of killing continued.

But the rebels didn't attack. Why did the capital city start to be in chaos? The breeze blew Zhao Min's face and raised her temple hair.

Zhao Min looked at Dahuo with piercing eyes, "It's not that the capital city is in chaos, it's that people's hearts have already begun to be in chaos!"
