After crossing, I became the vicious concubine of the tyrant

Chapter 256 Doubtful Points
After leaving the gate of the mansion, Gu Qingcheng could still feel the gaze closely following her back.

"There are too few cities in this city, do you really think that the mighty dragon is no match for the local snake?"

Gu Qingcheng thought of the recent deeds of Chen Taishou, "Even if you are not in the capital, you are still an emperor, so you are not afraid that you will dismiss him from his official position?"

Nangong Mo chuckled: "Gaozu has taught you not to be dismissed easily without evidence."

"Okay!" Gu Qingcheng still looked a little puffed up: "That's the only way to go."

"But if we find the evidence, then no matter what, he won't be able to hold this official position."

Nangong Mo said, his eyes darkened: "Since he did something wrong, he should be responsible for what he did."

Gu Qingcheng smiled: "It's true that you said that, so where are we going now?"

"Of course I'm looking for evidence." Nangong Mo remembered the old man whose son had died in the army when he saw it at the beginning: "Let's visit some old people."

Gu Qingcheng naturally thought of the old man he met at the beginning.

The offspring will no longer be able to accompany the elderly when they join the army to serve the country.

So much so that the old man has become the desolate look he is now.

"Then let's go."

Although it was easy to say, it took a lot of effort to actually find it.

Until later, I found a thatched hut on the outskirts of the city. The old man with white beard and hair dragged his injured leg and cooked slowly.

"Old man." Gu Qingcheng stood outside the thatched hut and gently knocked on the door: "We went out to play, but accidentally lost our way, can we ask for a bowl of water here?"

The old man came over tremblingly and opened the door, but with just one punch, he recognized the two of them.

"Oh, it's you two dolls." The old man quickly opened the door: "The road is next to you, why did you two get lost?"

Nangong Mo coughed softly: "The two of us are not good at identifying directions in our lives. Fortunately, you are here. I am really thirsty offline..."

The old man has always been alone at home. After his own son went to the battlefield, he never came back.

At this moment, seeing young people of similar age, I naturally wouldn't think too much about it.

Gu Qingcheng originally had a bright and pleasing appearance, but when the old man called out, the old man lost most of his defenses.

"Old man, why do you live here alone?" Gu Qingcheng slowly introduced the topic: "I remember that after the emperor ascended the throne today, there were many subsidies for those whose parents and children died in battle. At your current age, no matter what It should be here."

The old man sighed, "You probably came to find the old man for this, right?"

He smiled and glanced at the two of them: "From the first time you were like an old man, this old man knew that you were never simple characters, since you have already found them, you can ask whatever you want. "

Gu Qingcheng's face was a little hot, but the matter has come to an end, so I can only ask again: "You said before that your parents and children died in the battle, and you fought every year before. Compassionate for gold and silver, at your age, no matter what? The gold and silver handed out by the imperial court are still there...Why do you look so downcast now?"

What you said was really blunt, but the old man didn't show any anger on his face, he just smiled lightly.

"Girl, you think too well of people."

The old man eloquently said: "A few years ago, my two sons went to the battlefield one after another, and neither of them has returned. The Holy One ascended the throne, and did not amnesty the world. Instead, he distributed the silver captured in the battle to us. These old and homeless people, this is the benevolence of the Holy One."

"But although my two sons were defeated on the battlefield, they have no fame, and I am just an ordinary old scholar with no power or influence."

"For people like us, it's perfectly normal to withhold some silver taels." The old man smiled, but tears welled up in his cloudy eyes: "I don't want to run a business, I just want my It is impossible for the two incompetent sons to come back to me now."

Nangong Mo listened quietly to the side for a long time, and all of a sudden, he had mixed feelings, "You mean, the pension you should have been deducted!"

Probably because Nangong Mo's expression was too bad, the grandfather just sighed: "It's not just me? The children on the battlefield, if they don't have any light on them, the gold and silver distributed by the court will not be worth it." If they can be counted and fall into the hands of their parents and relatives, although the Holy Majesty regards us more than himself, he can't stand it, there will always be some young people who do those black-hearted things!"

"In this way, you are not the only old man." After all, Nangong Mo stayed on the battlefield for a long time, and he still had the greatest hope for these dirty things in the court: "So many people have been harmed. Here is so close to the capital, why don't you go to the capital to sue the imperial court?"

"Young man, do you really think that no one will go to the capital to sue the imperial court?"

The old man took out a jar of turbid wine from nowhere, and poured it on the ground profusely: "But the people who went to sue the imperial court before, now, their house is covered with grass, even if they want to drink wine, they can't drink it." We can only see when the old man thinks about it and worships."

He paused as he spoke, and seemed to think of something: "Don't talk about us ordinary people who have no power, no power, and life like nothing, even if you have been oppressing us before... Forget it, anyway, you are foreigners. The prefect's confidant who has been oppressing us all the time, did not know what happened a few days ago, and the whole family disappeared suddenly. It is said that even that confidant can only be reduced to a beggar .”

As he spoke, he glanced at the faces of the two who were filled with righteous indignation, and quickly said: "You two young people, don't be impulsive, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a snake, if you confront the prefect's mansion, you don't know which side can take advantage of it. "

Gu Qingcheng's heart moved slightly, "You said that the people who made troubles in the past can only be reduced to beggars now? But I stayed in the city for a long time before, and I didn't see them. There are one or two beggars!"

"It's because the newly rich disguised himself as a beggar that the established beggars will suffer innocently."

The old man shook his head: "I'm really not reconciled, so I have been watching the actions of the prefect's mansion. You two young people, you still have a good time in the future, so don't get involved again."
