The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 191

Because the Yellow River broke its embankment, the vast plain beside the Yellow River directly turned into a swamp.

Seeing that the crops were about to be harvested, a flood at this time completely washed away everyone's hopes.

For a time, mourning was everywhere, and refugees were everywhere.

At the gate of the county yamen, a thin young man knocked on the big drum at the gate of the county yamen.

The drums rang for a long time before a sleepy yamen servant ran out from inside, arranging his clothes while running.

"It's early in the morning, what are you knocking on? It disturbs people's dreams, and you don't behave properly!" After the yamen servant came out of the room, he said to the young man with a slap in the face.

After scolding like this for a while, seeing that the boy didn't refute, the yamen servant said impatiently, "What's wrong with you?"

"My lord, I'm really hungry, please give me something to eat." The young man said to the yamen servant.

The yamen servant looked at the young man in front of him like he was looking at a monster, and said, "It's because of this incident that you beat the drums to protest your grievances?"

The young man nodded, but he didn't hide anything, and said to the yamen servant: "I'm really hungry. I haven't eaten for three days. I want to see the county master, but I don't know what to do, so I have to think about it." Come up with such a method, please..."

"I'll fuck you!" Before the young man finished speaking, the yamen servant was already enraged. He kicked the young man violently and knocked the young man to the ground. He rushed forward and punched and kicked the young man again. If he wasn't afraid of killing him, he would never stop.

"Bah!" After the beating, the yamen servant spat forcefully on the young man, cursing and saying, "Dare to play me, believe it or not, I will kill you now!"

"Ahem..." This young man seemed to have a tooth knocked out, and when he coughed, he brought out a lot of blood.

"Bah!" The yamen servant spat fiercely at the scholar again, and then angrily walked into the yamen.

The movement here has already attracted many people to watch. They pointed at the scholar, but no one dared to stand up to help at this moment.

After the yamen servant went in, everyone seemed to realize that there was no excitement to watch, so they scattered away. From the beginning to the end, no one took a look at the man who was lying on the ground and was beaten. This idea, human life is worse than dog life Shit, the onlookers are just watching a scene, and it is absolutely impossible for them to come forward to help.

The young man struggled to stand up from the ground, his face was pale, it was the sequelae of long-term hunger, his body was covered with dust, it was the trace left by the soldier beating him just now.

After struggling to stand up, the young man actually walked towards the grievance drum at the gate of the yamen again, and it seemed that he was going to go to beat the drum again.

"Dong dong dong..." Because of hunger, the man didn't have much strength to beat the drum, so the sound of the drum was not very loud, but it could still be heard inside the yamen.

The yamen servant came out of the yamen again. After seeing the man, he didn't bother to ask any more. He just kicked the man down the steps.

"If you let me see you playing the drum again, be careful and I'll beat you to death!" After the yamen servant finished speaking, he couldn't help spitting hard at the young man again.

There was a hint of ruthlessness in the eyes of this yamen servant. When he saw the comments pointing and pointing at this side, he couldn't help but cursed: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave, wait to be caught by me!" Can't you get hit by the board?"

After the yamen servant finished speaking, the onlookers quickly walked away quietly. If the people don't fight with the officials, it is absolutely impossible for them to resist at this time.

The yamen servant returned to the county yamen.

However, the young man who was lying on the ground struggled to get up from the ground again, and his goal was still to complain.

"Is this young man crazy? Is he going to beat the drums again?"

"Hey, the gate of the yamen opens to the south. Don't come in if you don't have money for a reason. The yamen servant saw that this kid didn't look like a rich owner. Naturally, he was rude to him, and I heard that he didn't have any grievances. He just wanted to I want to ask the county master for something to eat."

"Why do you think it's such a trouble? Just for one bite of food, you've risked your own wealth and life." Another person said.

"In a few days, everyone will be desperate for this stuttering. The flood is so severe, it seems that this year will be fruitless again."

"Didn't it mean that the court's disaster relief food has been distributed?"

"Oh, do you believe this kind of nonsense? The grain pulled out from above is 100 million dan, and it would be good to have [-] dan below."

"It's the [-] dan. It is estimated that we can actually distribute it to the victims of the disaster. If there are [-] dan, we will remember it."

……

Everyone was pointing and discussing something, but no one stepped forward to stop this man. Everyone may be happy to see such a joke. This may be the only joy in this miserable life.

"If you beat the drum again, I'm afraid you will be beaten to death." At this time, a person suddenly stood up and said to the young man.

The young man turned his head and glanced at the man standing behind him, smiled wryly, and said, "Being beaten to death is better than starving to death. I, Li Lei, are not afraid of death."

"It does have a bit of backbone!" The man nodded, as if he admired the young man very much. After thinking about it, he said to the young man, "How about we discuss it?"

The young man laughed dryly, and said: "Why not, it's just that Li is a dying person, and I guess he has nothing to exchange with you, my lord."

"I'll give you a full meal, and your life will be mine, how about it?" the man said to the young man.

"A cheap life, if you want it, just take it!" Li Lei said indifferently, people who are oppressed by life have already taken their lives lightly at this time.

"Okay, remember the insult you received today. All of this was brought to you by the Song Dynasty court. I want you to see clearly the faces of the people around you. They know that you are going to die soon, but no one They want to lend a helping hand. On the contrary, they want to watch and watch your jokes.
