My players are all actors

Chapter 182

When Chu Ge had just finished handling his second case, Lu Heng had already started his fourth life.

The process of playing the identity of a beggar is obviously different from other identities.

Every time the game starts, the situation Lu Heng encounters is different.

For the first time, he was born in a tenant farmer's family. He lived in a thatched cottage since he was a child, grazed cattle for the landlord, and participated in corvee labor. , Neither I nor my children escaped, and I was bloated to death after eating Guanyin soil.

The second time, he was born in a family of self-cultivating farmers, and his living conditions were obviously much better than those of tenant farmers.But I didn't expect that the time to live was even shorter, because a sudden drought hit me when I was a child, and the land was far away, and the family members either starved to death or died of illness one after another.

The third time, I was born in a rich peasant's family. I lived a pretty good life, and I could barely call it a good life, but I encountered the officials' excessive expropriation and exploitation.

The imperial court has orders, but the lower levels increase the price. The imperial court adds [-]% to the provinces, which becomes [-]%, and the prefectures and counties become [-]%. times.

Ordinary small peasant families can’t afford to sell their houses, land or even their children, so they have to leave their hometowns.

Fleeing with their parents, almost all the family property could not be taken away. The houses, fields, farm tools, bedding, etc. had to be thrown away, and only a small amount of soft goods were taken with them.After settling down in one place, you have to do it all over again.

As a result, it didn't take long for him to encounter violent expropriation again. This time, he failed to escape and was imprisoned in a big prison. His family was ruined and his family was destroyed.

This time, it is already the fourth life that Lu Heng has experienced.

So he has become quite numb to all this.

The only good news is that the length of each life is not long, and it is experienced in a fragmented way.

The fourth generation was born again in a tenant farmer's family. This time, floods came in his childhood. Once the flood passed, all the few remaining relatives in the family were washed away.

Lu Heng barely survived by hugging a big tree, but looking back, the former village is already a vast country.

After walking for a long distance, I found a broken Taoist temple nearby. I went in to ask for some food, but found that it was already deserted. When I met two hungry and red-eyed thieves, I couldn't help knocking him down.

As for what will happen later, Lu Heng doesn't dare to imagine.

The fifth generation finally had something to do with Sheng Taizu's experience. After his relatives died of the plague, Lu Heng found a temple after several inquiries and became a monk.

But not long after, the famine came again, and even the old monk in the temple was so hungry that his body was swollen and his eyes were black.As a result, Lu Heng and some other young monks were kicked out and left to fend for themselves.

Although I was given a document and a broken bowl, saying that I was going to ask for alms, but in fact it was just going out to beg for food.Wearing a monk's head is not necessarily better than a beggar.

So, Lu Heng had no choice but to walk aimlessly with the broken bowl.

After a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic, and the nearby villages have already been empty.

Lu Heng walked thirty miles one after another with a broken bowl, and he didn't see many living people on the way.If you are lucky, you can get one and a half rotten steamed buns, but if you are unlucky, you will be beaten.

In the end, he fell down exhausted in a place where there was no village or shop behind, and he never got up again.

In the sixth life, he didn't bother to go through the previous steps again, so he simply took a broken bowl, stole some food and ran away from home, leading a life of a beggar ahead of schedule.

This time he went to the nearby affluent prefectures and counties ahead of time. When he saw that when the famine came, thousands of people had nothing to eat, and the hungry people stormed the yamen. I'm never hungry."

So the angry hungry people rushed to the Yamen, drove away the county magistrate, and robbed the food of the big family.

But not long after, the county magistrate returned with his troops, arrested all the leaders of the hungry people, beheaded them for public display, and hung their bodies at the city gate as a warning to others.

In addition, he also saw that the Hao family ordered his subordinates to beat the people to death in the street, but they seemed to be fine, and no government office dared to punish the crime; I left on good terms.

Not to mention that the superior northern barbarians wantonly slaughtered, leaving only stumps everywhere, and good fields turned into pastures.

He also chatted with other beggars, and he heard people say that if all officials above the county level were arrested and beheaded, it would not be unfair to a few.

But Lu Heng echoed that this statement is inaccurate. The accurate statement should be: All officials above the county level must be arrested and killed. There must be injustice, but killing every other ten must have slipped through the net, attracting other beggars. Applaud.

Lu Heng traveled a long distance and met many farmers.

And as far as he can see, only a very small number of these people's sufferings are due to laziness or bad luck.

Because in this era, hard work is a necessary condition for survival, and those who don't work hard have long since starved to death, and they can't persist until now.

However, they are so hardworking and work all day long but still have no clothes and no food to eat. Most of the reasons are due to those high-ranking bureaucrats.

Sometimes he would chat with down-and-out scholars or other educated beggars, saying that if there was such a law: all people who are oppressed by officials can go to Beijing to file a lawsuit against their heads, and all officials along the way who dare to stop them will be executed. .that would be nice.

And the other party either laughed, or looked at him like a madman, thinking that he was confused.

The officials are the emperor's minions, and the emperor and the officials are one, so how can it be possible for the people to sue the officials?How dare an ordinary person go to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit?What a wishful thinking.

In today's world, it is only natural for officials to arbitrarily arrest people into prisons and beat them to death on random charges.

Lu Heng didn't say anything, but silently picked up his broken bowl, and gave the rotten steamed bun inside to the beggar beside him, and at the same time rejoiced that he had acquired the talent of "enduring hunger".

……

At the same time, Huo Yunying, who plays the rebel army, is planning the next target.

"Now the rebel army has occupied Chuzhou City, and I have three or four hundred soldiers under my command. But the current situation is not very optimistic.

"The northern barbarian army will come to attack from time to time. Although the previous encounters were vulnerable, the possibility of a strong enemy in the future cannot be ruled out.

"It is said that a Beiman general surnamed Dong is plotting to attack Chuzhou City, but no definite news has been obtained. Is there such a scene in history? However, judging from the records I have learned before, I have never heard that Chuzhou City was attacked. News of the capture.

"But even if there are no powerful northern barbarian generals to attack, the situation in Chuzhou City may not be good.

"There are four marshals in the city, they don't like each other, and there will be conflicts every time they discuss matters, and I'm just a nobody, obviously I can't get in the way...

"Of course, the most important thing is that Chu Ge told me to pay attention to Gu Yuan, this is the most trusted general of Sheng Taizu, as long as he can hug this golden thigh, many things will definitely be solved.

"But the problem is... until now, I haven't found anyone with the surname Gu at all?"

Huo Yunying frowned, a little confused.
