Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 81
Chapter 083

The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and the people are busy harvesting the crops in the fields.

At this time, a group of people came to the bank of the Zhang River in Fengle Town.

This group of people was dressed in ordinary clothes, nothing special, like an ordinary rich man traveling in mountains and rivers, twenty or thirty guards with knives, a purple-faced book boy, a beautiful maidservant and a maid, a rich man.This rich man was none other than Ran Ming and his party who had left the brigade and came ahead of time.

The purple-faced book boy is naturally Liu Laozhi, the beautiful maid is Liu Mo, and the butler-looking one is Yan Yue.

Looking at the torrential river, Ran Ming thought about it, felt the familiar atmosphere, Ran Ming seemed to feel that this place seemed to be familiar, suddenly Ran Ming pointed to a towering building by the river in the distance and said: "Where is that place?"

Yan Yue smiled and said: "Young Master was born in Ye and grew up in Ye, so why don't you know where this place is? This is the boundary of Fengle, and that building is the landmark building of Fengle Town, Ximen Leopard Temple!

Before Ximen Bao ruled Ye, Fengle Town was a barren land. Later, Ximen Bao was ordered to rule Ye, commanding the people to dig ditches, irrigate the fields, and keep the harvest all year round. This place was renamed Fengle, which means a good harvest. meaning. "

"Ximen Leopard Temple, Ximen Leopard!" Ran Ming vaguely remembered telling the story of Ximen Leopard's rule of Ye in a later text. The three elders (equivalent to the current township cadres) and Wu Zhu took advantage of the ignorance and ignorance of the people, imposed excessive taxes, and took advantage of people's fear of the frequent flooding of the Zhang River to create a strange incident of He Bo marrying a wife, and forced everyone with daughters to leave.In the end, Ximen Bao threw Wu Zhu into the river, put an end to feudal superstition, dug ditches, and gradually improved the poverty situation in Yecheng.

As an atheist, Ran Ming sincerely admires this pioneer of atheism.He took him into the Ximen Leopard Temple. This three-entry building complex is the largest building complex in Fengle Town. The Ximen Leopard Temple covers an area of ​​nearly [-] acres and is magnificently decorated. Ran Ming saw the cigarettes curling up from the incense table, Fresh offerings of three animals are offered on the table.

Ran Ming was also lamenting that Yecheng was short of food. He knew that if he hadn't seized it from Anxi and Liantai, many people in Yecheng would starve to death just like in history.However, these simple people would rather starve themselves than Ximen Leopard, who would bring them a happy life.

Ran Ming, like other common people, devoutly offered incense and bowed to the bronze statue of Ximen Leopard.

Ran Ming said: "I didn't expect that 800 years later, Duke Ximen is still so loved by the people!"

"Ximen Leopard is the order of Ye. He is famous all over the world. The descendants of Zeliu will never end. He is hardly a virtuous doctor!"

Ran Ming said: "Death is inherent in human beings, and it may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. For hundreds of years, how many heroes have risen and fallen, and the overlord who cherished the sun and crowned the world has faded out of people's sight, and the great achievements of the first emperor are rarely known. , the majestic style of Han and Wu, among all the talking and laughing, only the grace and the people can last forever!"

Yan Yue fell into silence upon hearing this.

Liu Laozhi is a good boy who is eager to learn. He didn't know about Ximen Bao, nor had he heard of Ximen Bao, so he hurriedly asked Ran Ming.

Ran Ming patiently said: "During the time of Marquis Wen of Wei, Ximen Bao was the order of Ye. When Leopard went to Ye, he would meet the elders (Sima Qian Shiji Funny Biographies No. 60, please refer to those who are interested for details).

As we talked, the sun gradually set.

"My lord, let's go, this place is less than twenty miles away from Yecheng, we can enter Yecheng before the Guancheng Gate!" Liu Mo said anxiously, looking at the sun.

Ran Ming came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Little daughter-in-law, are you in a hurry to see your in-laws?"

"You..." Liu Mo's face blushed instantly, and when Ran Ming said what was on his mind, Liu Mo waved his small fist in anger and beat Ran Ming.Ran Ming was naturally not afraid of Liu Mo's power, but Liu Mo suddenly saw Yan Yue's cold light and was too frightened to move.

In the era when etiquette and law were paramount, Liu Wei's move was a big taboo.

Seeing the embarrassing scene, Ran Ming smoothed things over and said, "Let's go, let's enter Yecheng!"

Yecheng at this time was not the Yecheng built by Cao Cao, but the new Yecheng built by Shihu mobilizing 40 people.The entire city of Ye is six miles long from east to west, eight miles and eighteen paces from north to south, and nearly thirty miles in circumference. In ancient times, this city was a big city, although it was not as good as the world-famous Chang'an.Luoyang, but at this time Luoyang has been destroyed, and Chang'an is even more dilapidated. Undoubtedly, Yecheng is the largest city in the north.

In history, Ran Min was defeated and killed. Murong Ke sent troops to attack Yecheng, but failed for a long time. The food in Yecheng was exhausted, and the surrounding food was snatched by the Yan army. There was even a scene where everyone cannibalized each other. The city of Ye was not broken, but the captain of Changshui, Ma Yuan, offered the west gate, and the Yan army entered Ye city from the west gate, and Ran Wei perished.

At this time, Ran Ming entered Yecheng from the Dongming Gate of Yecheng.Ran Ming and his party consisted of three to forty people, including men, women, women and children, but they did not attract the attention of the soldiers.

Ran Ming entered Ye City smoothly, and with Ran Ming entering Ye City, it was time to close the city gate.

As soon as he enters the city gate, passes through the inner urn city, and comes to the outer city. The east city is called Qili, which belongs to the gathering place of high-ranking officials and rich families. The northern district is Miyagi. Yan Ranmin doesn't know how to govern the country?It's just that Ran Min lacks time. Wei Guo has no external hidden dangers for the time being, and its development is rapid.

Although the city gate has been closed, the three main streets of Qili, which are 26 steps wide, are full of pedestrians. Although these people are yellow and hungry, everyone is wearing luxurious silk. , is also neatly dressed, the ancient system is strict, and there are strict restrictions on clothing, but in Yecheng, there is no such phenomenon.

Ran Ming didn't know that when Ran Min rebelled against Zhao Zili and established Wei, he opened Shihu's treasury and distributed all the money, food, and cloth in it to the people to build his personal prestige.The Shihu Warehouse that Ran Min got had already run out of food, but not enough cloth. At that time, ordinary people got three bolts of silk and one bolt of silk for each household.And yes, the most abnormal phenomenon appeared. The people in Yecheng were all well-dressed, but they had no food.

Ran Ming didn't go directly into the palace, he led everyone all the way into the lanes, like headless chickens, building relatively clean restaurants everywhere, Liu Mo saw what Ran Ming meant, and took Ran Ming to a restaurant.

There was a traditional Chinese character "Liu" hanging on the door of this restaurant, and Ran Ming suddenly realized that the Liu family actually had a semicolon in Yecheng.

Liu Mo suddenly entered the lobby of the restaurant, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Liu Mo was so beautiful, and he was wearing a tight tunic suit that was incompatible with this era, showing his body curves at a glance.It's even more eye-catching.

At this moment, there was a sudden clamor, "What a beautiful little lady!"

Ran Mingshun looked around, and saw a man in a brocade robe standing in front of the window near the hall on the second floor, wearing a golden crown, with a burly figure, a stern face, and cold eyes that made people feel fearful.

As soon as the man said this, all the whispered discussions in the hall disappeared immediately.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is Liu Yuan's confidant, of course he knows Liu Mo.The shopkeeper's surname is Liu, a noble man.However, it is not the same as Liu Yuan's Liu. He is Liu Yuan's family servant, and was given the surname Liu because he has served the Liu family for generations.

Seeing Liu Mo coming, he hurriedly left the counter, stepped forward and said: "I don't know that the young master is coming, but I am far away to welcome you, and I hope to make amends!"

Liu Wei said: "Uncle Gui, you're welcome, I didn't notify you in advance. Now arrange a few rooms for me, and arrange for my entourage to stay. If you have good wine and food, come up!"

"Obey!" Liu Gui suddenly approached Liu Mo, and said in a low voice, "Young master, the person on the second floor is not a good person. His name is Jiang Ju, he is the only son of General Jiang Gan, and he is a man in Yecheng." Ba, he is the descendant of the founding father of the country, he is a noble son, bully men and women, fish and meat people, he does all kinds of evil, and is hated by the people of Yecheng to the extreme. He just noticed the young master, I am afraid there will be right and wrong!"

Ran Ming looked disdainful, but his heart was dark: "In front of Gu, it is a dragon that has to be coiled by me, and a tiger has to be crouched by a tiger!"

Seeing Ran Ming's resolute expression, Liu Mo felt at ease. She used to be a male portrait to show off to the public, so naturally there would be no disturbances, but since following Ran Ming, she has shown her true colors to others.

Jiang Ju walked downstairs slowly, followed by twenty or thirty black-clothed servants, who seemed to be no good birds.He came to Liu Mo and said, "Little lady, I'm Jiang Ju, he is the only son of the great general of the dynasty, and he was ennobled as Ningling Tinghou."

If Liu Wei was in the past, he really had no way to deal with such a powerful son.But it's different now, with Prince Ran Ming here, what are you, Ningling Tinghou?

Liu Wei said, "What does this have to do with me!"

"Why doesn't it matter." Jiang Ju said: "Maybe it didn't matter before, but soon it will matter. I've taken a fancy to you and I'm going to take you as my concubine!"

Liu Gui didn't know the details of Ran Ming, thought he was just an ordinary guard, and didn't take it to heart. Normally, he wouldn't dare to provoke Jiang Ju, but now, when things were imminent, he didn't dare to retreat anymore. He belongs to Liu Yuan. A slave, loyal to Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan is Liu Yuan's daughter and his master, no matter how willing he is to settle things down, he will not dare to let Liu Yuan be wronged.He stepped forward and said in a low voice: "This is our Liu family's son-in-law, and I ask Mr. Jiang to make it easier for me!"

"It's just a merchant woman! I'm the marquis of the Great Wei Ting, a majestic master, taking her as a concubine is for your Liu's face, don't give me shame!" Jiang Ju said with a sinister smile.

"Concubine!" Liu Gui changed drastically when he heard the words. In fact, the status of concubines was extremely low in ancient times. They were only a little higher than ordinary slaves. Opportunity to inherit the family property.It's better to be favored, but not to be favored, the status is not as good as a favored slave.Although Liu Yuan was born as a concubine, he was also the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, so how could he give his daughter to someone else as a concubine.

"You are making things difficult for a strong man!" Liu Gui is determined. Although merchants value profits, it depends on when and what happens. Now that Jiang Ju is bullying him, if he is bullying himself, he can bear it, but Jiang Ju is beating now. It's Liu's face, and it's Liu's daughter and son who is bullying.

"So what if it's difficult by force!" Jiang Ju narrowed his eyes, and said lightly: "Against me, have you considered the consequences?"

"A man has something to do, and something not to do!" Liu Gui stood in front of Liu Mo and shouted loudly: "Our Liu family is the descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and the relatives of Liu Shangshu of the current dynasty!"

"How courageous!" Jiang Ju shouted: "I see that you are all a group of gangsters pretending to be your relatives, come here, pick them up for me, and arrest them to see the officials!"

Liu Gui's confidants around him are all Liu Yuan's servants. When they saw that Jiang Ju was going to be violent, they were furious. They pulled out their knives at the same time and glared at everyone. Liu Gui gritted his teeth and said, "Whoever dares to come up, I will make him a knife The devil!"

"Gather a crowd with weapons and conspire to rebel!" Jiang Ju said, "Take them down for me. If anyone resists, shoot them to death!"

Liu Gui is also loyal, he knows that he is no match for Jiang Ju in Yecheng, even Liu Yuan is not good here, as the saying goes, people don't fight with officials, Jiang Ju is a bully, but he represents officials.As long as they are caught in the government, it is not a crime but a crime, and they will never get out of it again.

Liu Gui quickly drew back and shouted: "Protect the young master. Fight them!"
