Poor family mother and son

Hong Liang entered Huang Zhong's private room, and naturally felt that Chu Qing's whereabouts were unknown for a while, and only prayed that God would open his eyes and make Chu Qing's death auspicious.

The civil and martial arts have never met each other for most of their lives, but because Chu Qing was falsely accused of treason the year before last, the two fought against Chu Qing and became friends.

Huang Zhong came to Qingwatai to inquire about Chu Qing's news. The old man didn't expect Chu Qing to disappear due to "eight winds" not long after we parted, so he was really worried.

After chatting for a while, Hong Liang slapped his thigh: "I forgot the purpose of coming here. I came here to tell the Chu family boys that their eldest in-law died, and asked if they would like to celebrate a... er... er... mourning one time?!"

Huang Zhong pointed his fingers at Hong Liang, and said with a smile, "You... tell me, what's the matter?"

Hong Liang talked about how the fourth prince encouraged Zheng Chunqiu to exchange stones for money, and then the buyer paid them with stones instead of grain, causing public opinion.

After finishing speaking, he concluded: "I guess, if there is no such thing, just how much jade they didn't pick up, they really wouldn't be guilty of death, at most they would be demoted to a wild land;

But all the rain and snow in the old world fell into his mind. If he insisted on doing such deceitful things, and under the banner of the Fourth Prince, can the Tian family tolerate him? "

Huang Zhong poured a sip of wine into his mouth, babbled, and commented: "This is also a way of jumping over the wall in a hurry. Think about it, his father-in-law's family has collapsed, and if he wants not to be demoted, he can only gamble on it;

It's just that this matter should not be so simple, and he is not a fool, how could he blatantly use the banner of the Fourth Prince?

I'm afraid someone with a heart would seize the opportunity to publicize it... Who could it be? "

Hong Liang leaned over and guessed in a low voice: "Tell me, could it be sister Chu who did it?"

Huang Zhong stared: "She has that brain?"

Hong Liang withdrew his body: "That's right, the big girl is stubborn, she is more straightforward than a duck, she really doesn't have this ability."

Si'er, who stood at the door and guarded the door for the two old people: ...

Huang Zhong pointed out: "This matter can't be done by outsiders, you think about it, who did Zheng Chunqiu suffer for?"

Hong Liang: "For four..."

Si'er at the door: It's not me.

Huang Zhong: "If Si... is unlucky, who will be the happiest?"

Hong Liang: "One, two, three, five, six, seven, eight, ninety!"

Huang Zhong: "Well, one or two of them, maybe everyone has a share and I don't know."

……

The reason for the two old people's conjectures is that they both had the idea of ​​being officials, and the folks don't think so.

The imperial decree of Zheng Chunqi's conviction was announced to the world, otherwise the "replacing food with stones" would cause a lot of noise, how could we clean up the fourth prince's ass?How to achieve the effect of scaring others?
Therefore, Zheng Chunqiu's ending became the "headline" of the people's discussion in the capital for a while, but it pushed the "disaster relief" initiative to the "second place" on the list.

But immediately, Zheng Chunqiu's wife "overwhelmed the crowd" and took the "No. [-]" position.

Here's the thing:

The property of the Zheng family was confiscated, and naturally the mansion bestowed by the imperial court was also taken back. Mrs. Zheng suddenly became a bereaved dog.

Fortunately, when the family property was confiscated, she was allowed to take a few clothes and leave, and the accessories she was wearing were not confiscated.

But a woman in the inner house does not bring any money except for jewelry. Even if she goes out to consume, she also has her own maid to help pay the bills, so Mrs. Zheng can be said to have left the house without leaving the house.

As long as there is a chance of survival, people are not willing to ask for death, especially after seeing the tragic situation of their husband hanged to death.

So Mrs. Zheng decided to find a pawn shop, pawn the jewelry, and then rent a car to go to her daughter.

However, whether it is a leak in the house, it rains at night, or it is a disaster, anyway, I have searched all the pawnshops, but none of them can give a suitable price, and the more you change shops, the lower the price.

Finally, after returning to the first pawnshop exhausted from hunger, cold and exhaustion, the second owner of the pawnshop took the lead and went through the "death pawn" procedure for Mrs. Zheng's jewelry at a low price.

The second owner of the pawn shop said: "Don't cry with me and pretend to be pitiful. If your family is pitiful, how can you do such a wicked and smoldering thing?
However, since the Holy Majesty didn't sentence you all to be executed for Linyanghou's face, I will naturally save Linyanghou's face;
I can give you this price, not to pity you, you have to thank you for having a good family! "

This is the view of the people.

The folks believe that since Zheng Chunqiu did the thing of selling stones as jade, and dared to pretend to be the royal family, the emperor did not sentence their family to punish the nine clans, nor sentenced the entire family to be executed. .

Mrs. Zheng left the capital amidst snowballs thrown by the crowd, and did not rent a carriage.

Even though Linyang Hou is not a good person in the hearts and mouths of the powerful, but in the hearts of the common people, he is still very popular.

He dared to call out to King Voss, and even bombed people to death; he sent clothes and food to the earthquake-stricken areas; he disappeared, but the Chu family was still donating money and materials; Search and rescue the displaced, help the survivors open up shelters...

Although Linyanghou is missing, Linyanghou's shadow is everywhere.

"Marquis Linyang is with our people!" On the shore of Haizhou, the Chu family boys were leading the people to pick up seafood.

After the "eight winds" raged, there was no benefit at all. The only benefit that can be seen so far is: the densely packed seafood on the beach.

Seafood varies from location to location. For example, oysters and seashells are everywhere on this beach; sea sausages and sea prawns are washed up on a beach far away.

Few people eat these things, unless they are people who can't survive, they will go to the dangerous seaside to pick up seafood to satisfy their hunger.

Now, when they can't survive, the Chu family boys have opened up a "road to get rich" for the victims.

"Everyone comes earlier these days!" The victims warned and encouraged each other.

Haizhou has been a "far-away place" for criminals assigned by the imperial court in the past dynasties. It can be said that this is a territory composed of criminals.

But now, Haizhou, with a total population of 8, has only a population of more than 1 after an "eight wind" passed through.

Miserable, the people are in dire straits.

The boys of the Chu family told them: as long as they can clean up all these sea creatures and dry them in the sun, Marquis Linyang will buy them at a suitable price.

Not only that, but the Chu family boys also organized them to boil oysters into oyster sauce, which is a precious commodity, and more than 100 catties of oysters can be boiled to make a catty of oyster sauce.

It is because of the low output that the price is very high. This is the current and long-term way for Haizhou survivors to get rich.

"The Marquis of Linyang is with our common people!" Haizhou people continued to be grateful while picking up oysters.

"The Marquis of Linyang you mentioned is called Chu Qing?" A young man asked.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties, very thin, but not short, and spoke with a northern accent.
