Chapter 57: When prosperity comes, the people suffer! When decline comes, the people suffer!

Winter goes and spring comes

Time flies!

Fast forward to mid-March.

Although the weather in early spring is still bitterly cold, it is still somewhat better than winter.

The heavy snow that shrouded the divine capital all day long has slowly dissipated.

The refugees gathered outside the city have finally been properly resettled!

The court spent a lot of money to send people to escort them back to their hometowns, and the public security in major cities in Shendu immediately improved a lot, no longer like the chaos of the past.

As for the last conflict between the Tiger Head Gang and the Blood Crow Gang!

It's just a game between big guys.

Thousands of people were killed and injured, and even a splash of water could not be raised in this huge capital.

Wei Hong returned to his former peaceful life.

He kills pigs, practices martial arts every day, and occasionally goes to the martial arts gym for sparring.

Now that he has become stronger and stronger, he has obtained thousands of taels of stolen money from the casino. Although he has plenty of money, he is too lazy to go to the martial arts studio to make money every day. Most of the time, he just goes to the teahouse to drink tea and spend the day.

A pot of tea and a few plates of side dishes!

One person and one friend were sitting alone on the second floor of the teahouse.

It is a good enjoyment to sit and watch the people coming and going in the street, and listen to the storyteller on the stage describing the changes in the court, the battles between the martial arts forces, and the wonders and wonders everywhere.

"Speaking of the heavy snowfall last winter, the disaster spread across the four prefectures of Xu, Qing, Cang, and Qing. Hundreds of millions of people were affected, and the number of casualties was countless."

"During this period, vassal kings from various places had rebellions from time to time, and the barbarians in the borderlands continued to raid and plunder. The largest group of rebels belonged to the King of Wei."

"This King of Wei is a younger brother of today's generation. He is only twenty-two years old. Not only does he own the fiefdom of Xuzhou, which has a strong folk custom, but he is also rich and powerful. The Tianyun Chamber of Commerce provides him with military supplies and armor, and he has millions of troops to sweep through all the states. Like a roll."

"Now that Mizhou, Quzhou and other places have been captured by the rebels, the adults in the court are still arguing over who should lead the army to put down the rebellion. It is really sad..."

On stage!

The storyteller narrates with emotion as he shakes his head.

The audience in the audience either cursed or lamented the end of the dynasty.

Turning around, he only cared about what he was going to eat at night.

Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up. The Zhou Dynasty has been in constant rebellion for 800 years, and I have never heard of anyone being able to capture the divine capital, so there is no need to worry too much.

After all, it’s not you who is unlucky in the end!

"Prosperity, the people are suffering! Death, the people are suffering!" Wei Hong couldn't help but sigh: "After the great disaster, there was military chaos again. I don't know how terrifying it would be to see ten houses and nine empty houses in other states exchanging children for food. Fortunately, we were born in God. Du, although he started out in poverty, he managed to survive the day with enough food and clothing. "

"That makes sense." Lin Weisheng agreed with a smile: "You are becoming more and more compassionate like a scholar. Now you don't look like a pig butcher, but more like a young man from a powerful and wealthy family!"

"Uncle Lin, don't make fun of me." Wei Hong laughed dumbly: "I actually like to kill pigs. I don't have to sit around in the camp every day. When I have free time, I can meet up with two friends to drink tea and listen to books, or go to Goulan to listen to music. Isn't that right? Beautiful?”

"You are quite smart." Lin Weisheng continued to joke: "But you should also consider getting married and having children, right? You will be 17 soon, and you will be crowned next year. Ordinary farm children have children at your age, but your grandfather is Very anxious.”

Speaking of which!

Wei Hong couldn't help but feel a headache secretly.

Old Wei Tou saw that his family was getting richer and richer.

Naturally, he was looking forward to holding his great-grandson every day when he was full and warm, but Wei Hong had no interest in getting married and having children, so he wasted his time searching for a woman of the right age for the parents of the Li family.

"You just have a high spirit." Lin Weisheng drank tea and pointed out: "You can make a good living by killing pigs. Now that you have successfully practiced martial arts and found a powerful person to affiliate with, your life will get better and better. Although you are not worthy of a high-ranking family, but It’s okay to find an innocent woman from a small family to be your legal wife.”

"As the saying goes, the most unfilial thing is to have no offspring. For the sake of the old man, you should get married as soon as possible. The Liu Dong family of Liu Ji Clothing Shop on West Street has a daughter. She is now fifteen and tall, and the Liu Dong family is also interested in you..."

When Wei Hong heard this, he quickly raised his hand to stop him.

He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Lin, are you here to be a lobbyist for my grandpa? I said why do you have time to drink tea with me? That's it!"

"There's nothing I can do about it. Old Wei heads to me every day to complain." Lin Wei said confidently: "As your elder, you have to help me out."

"My matter is not urgent."

Wei Hong refused with a smile.

He really has no interest in girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Forget it!" Lin Weisheng was also a sensible person. He casually changed the subject and said: "I heard about an interesting thing happening in the slums recently. There was a kind man who came from nowhere and threw money into the homes of poor households every night. What do you think? Isn’t it weird?”

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Wei Hong pretended to be surprised.

"No." Lin Weisheng took a sip of tea and continued: "Do you remember Lao Lu who used to sell offal soup on the street? He was seriously ill and had no money to treat him. His family was crying every day, and they had already prepared straw mats. Mingyi was ready to do something, but he received several large bunches of copper coins at night! "

"In the past few days, I have been treated at a medical center, and I have come back to life and started jumping around. Now I burn incense at home every day to pray for my benefactor. I don't know who is so kind."

Wei Hong raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word.

Who can be so kind these days when everyone is in danger?

Isn't it just that he took the gambling money from the Blood Crow Gang's Sifang Gambling House and had three large boxes of copper coins with nowhere to spend it? After the limelight passed, he might as well take advantage of the night to send warmth.

These copper coins are not much, but they can help many people.

It was just a matter of convenience, so it can be considered as a good deed.

"And!" Lin Weisheng suddenly said in a serious tone, "I just heard that the leader of the Zhongyi Hall of the Tiger Head Gang died of a serious illness this morning. The news has just spread. You should be careful."

Wei Hong paused while drinking tea and frowned subconsciously.

He naturally understood what Lin Weisheng meant.

The last time the Blood Crow Gang attacked the Tiger Head Gang, it was rumored that the leader of the Zhongyi Hall dragged his sick body, which had not yet recovered, to force the leader of the Disha Hall of the Blood Crow Gang to retreat, and then disappeared without a trace.

Now two months have passed, and he still couldn't hold on!

In this way, others may not have any trouble, but there will definitely be turmoil within the Zhongyi Hall. Several deputy hall masters will probably beat their brains out in order to fight for power.

At the same time, Zhuji Meat Shop will definitely be implicated.

The big boss and the second boss were not on good terms. Now that Zhu Sihai's backer died suddenly, will the second boss Tan Fei take the opportunity to stir up trouble?

"Thank you Uncle Lin for your advice. You are really well-informed." Wei Hong couldn't help but sigh.

"You are still in the mood to joke?" Lin Weisheng said unhappily: "You should think about yourself. If you are troubled, you should change your place as soon as possible."

"What are you afraid of? When the enemy comes, the general will stop him and when the water comes, the earth will cover it!"

Wei Hong smiled indifferently, and his heart was even calmer.

He is no longer the same as before, so why should he be afraid of a small-scale turmoil?
