dawn of dynasty

Chapter 241 Returning to hometown, death of an old friend
Chu Yingyu and her little sisters also walked down. Chu Yingyu was too embarrassed to stare at Shen Guanye. She just smiled and nodded with Shen Guanye, then lowered her eyes.

Her little sister was bold and cheerful, staring at Shen Guanye curiously.

Shen Guanye saw that Tang Yingxiang didn't introduce the two of them, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Master Shen, why don't you come sit with me?"

Tang Yingxiang invited warmly.

He originally resisted this blind date, and he couldn't let go of his charm in front of Chu Yingyu to "seduce" his little sister. This was the time when he was bored and bored.

Now I accidentally watched a play and found someone who suited my taste. Naturally, I wanted to invite someone to dine with me without much thought.

That's what makes it interesting!

As for suddenly bringing someone else in during the blind date, would it make Chu Yingyu unhappy?
He can't wait!
Shen Guanye had an "sorry" smile on his face.

"What a coincidence. We just finished our meal and I'm afraid we won't be able to eat much now."

Although Tang Yingxiang expressed his admiration for him, he was still the son of one of the top eight warlords in Tianxia. It would definitely be beneficial to make friends with such a person.

But he is not a follower of others, he wants to make friends with those he is willing to make friends with.

Tang Yingxiang didn't have a good impression on him, and Shen Guanye didn't have much intention of making friends with him.

Tang Yingxiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Okay, let's have dinner another day."

That's how he is. He has no patience for people he doesn't like, but he is very tolerant of people he likes.

Shen Guanye rejected him. Not only did he not feel angry, but on the contrary, he felt that the other party was genuine and unpretentious.

Unlike other people, as soon as they heard about their identity, they changed their appearance and flattered to the extreme.

Today's incident was just a small episode for Shen Guanye, similar to his previous life when he had affairs with people online, so he didn't stay long and left quickly.

While sending Shen Zhizhu and Shen Zhizhu to Tunghai University, they happened to meet Teacher Lin Muyuan, and they chatted for a while.

Teacher Lin has been thinking about thanking Shen Guanye for helping Shen Zhizhu and Shen Zhizhu to exchange studies at Tunghai University.

After that, Shen Guanye went to the work unit and found relevant information about Tang Yingxiang - as the son of the top eight warlords in the country, of course he had information about the Bilong clan.

Shen Guanye frowned more and more as he read Tang Yingxiang's information.

This person is a standard dandy. It is hard to tell how talented he is in military affairs and business, because he has not held any position until now. He is a standard dandy who is good at eating, drinking and having fun.

But his talent in playing with women is outstanding and breathtaking.

Throughout his adult life, he has had affairs with countless women: ladies, daughters of high-ranking officials, daughters of warlords, movie stars, famous opera actresses, etc., and even foreign women.

This is a woman who is somewhat famous. If she is not famous or is a prostitute on weekdays, she is even less famous.

However, I could still get along with most of them easily, and after provoking so many women, not many of them started to make trouble after separation.

Even more powerful than Prince Duan Zhengchun of Dali!

Shen Guanye would never let such a person get close to Shen Zhimei.

Don't say that Tang Yingxiang is a scumbag. Even if he is not and is loyal to his eldest sister, Shen Guanye will not agree to marry her unless she wants to marry her.

Without him, Tang Yingxiang's identity alone would have destined that there would be no good results with his eldest sister.

Tang Yingxiang is the only son of the commander-in-chief of the Fangu Clan!
In an era when men can still have three wives and four concubines, this is extremely rare.

Every one of the warlord leaders has a group of wives and concubines and many children.

People like Tang Yingxiang's father who only married one wife and had only one son in his life were a rare breed.This is also the reason why Tang Yingxiang has not held any position under his father even at this age.

It wasn't that his father didn't value him, on the contrary, it was because he doted on his son too much that after Tang Yingxiang expressed his wish that "he didn't want to work anywhere, he just wanted to live and drink," he let him go.

A big warlord would never dare to think of this situation.

If Tang Yingxiang is just one of the many sons of Marshal Tang, then there is still a possibility that he and Shen Zhimei are there. After all, with Shen Guanye here, Shen Zhimei's family background can't be different, right?
But an only son?
That's impossible.

Qi Dafei, the gap between Shen Zhimei and Tang Yingxiang is too big - unless Shen Guanye can unify Tianxia within a few years.

But even if Shen Guanye knew that he had such a powerful power as the Kingdom of God, he didn't think he could unify Tianxia within a few years.

Therefore, no matter from any aspect, Tang Yingxiang is not a good candidate.

I just hope he has some idea and won't provoke his eldest sister again.

Shen Guanye thought to himself.

He didn't want to have a conflict with Tang Yingxiang unless he had to.

After reading Tang Yingxiang's information and thinking about Shen Zhizhu's previous words, Shen Guanye decided to leave home immediately.

It's true that he hasn't been home for a while. He has to go back to see his parents and the old man, and then tell him about Brother Yu's situation - he pays attention to Shen Guanyu's situation every once in a while.

It has to be said that although Shen Guanyu is a tough guy, but stupid people have stupid blessings. After running away from home, he first recognized a good sworn brother and met a group of good brothers. Later, he was favored by an expert. Now he is successful. It can be said that things are booming.

This experience, this template, is exactly how the protagonist is treated. If he hadn't been cheated, he wouldn't be able to keep up with Shen Guanyu.

……

At the train station, Shen Guanye walked out of the carriage with his suitcase and soon saw his father and Li Silang waiting in front of the platform.

"You're back? How many days can you stay at home?"

Shen Shenghui looked at his eldest son with a pleased look and a smile on his face.

"About two days."

Shen Guanye couldn't help but smile.

When I return to my hometown and see my relatives, my mood is completely different.

In the car, Shen Guanye talked to his father about recent events.Of course, what can be said is nothing more than daily life at work, and what happened to the third sister Shen Zhizhu after she arrived in Donghai.

There was no mention of Inoue Qingxi's private contact with him and the National Salvation Association, or the thrilling battle at Chidori Islands a few days ago.

Shen Shenghui probably never imagined that a county king of Fusang Kingdom died, which led to the outbreak of war between Fusang Kingdom and Zhongxing Kingdom, and that such an international event would be related to his son.

It was even caused by his own son.

Shen Shenghui also talked about what happened at home during this period.

Nothing big happened, just steady growth.

Now that the great god Shen Guanye is in charge, what big things can happen to the Shen family?
With Shen Guanye's current status, no matter how hard the Shen family tries to commit suicide, they will not be able to drag him down. On the contrary, if something happens to Shen Guanye, the Shen family may face a disaster.

Shen Guanye suddenly interrupted his father.

"Dad, why are there so many beggars in the county?"

When he was at the station just now, he felt a little strange: Why are there so many beggars?
But he didn't think much about it at the time. Places with dense crowds like train stations have always been a place where beggars gather. This will be the case in future generations, let alone now.Today there are just a few more than usual, but it’s not abnormal.

But it's a bit strange that there are so many beggars in the county.

The three provinces under the jurisdiction of Bilong Clan, Zhenlong Province and Bishan Province are prosperous places, among which Zhenlong Province is the most prosperous place in Tianxia, ​​and it has been like this for thousands of years.

Tianshui Province is slightly worse, but in terms of wealth, it can barely reach the upper reaches among the 54 provinces in Tianxia, ​​not to mention Hongdong County is close to the provincial capital.

Even in today's war-torn era with frequent natural and man-made disasters, the lives of people in Hongdong County are relatively easy.

Beggars, yes.

But compared to other places, there are not many, but just driving along this way, the number of beggars I saw was several times more than before.

What's going on here?
Was there a natural disaster somewhere nearby?
Or is there another war somewhere?

Hearing this, he sighed deeply, hesitated to speak, but finally said:
"The marshal has collected a lot more taxes. The people's lives are already very difficult. The marshal has levied a lot more taxes. Many people have no choice but to sell their sons and daughters and go to the county town to beg."

"A lot more taxes were levied?"

Shen Guanye's face didn't look good.

The Bilong Clan's taxes are very heavy, including the taxes collected by the central government - your three provinces of the Bilong Clan were not ceded. They are still nominally Tianxia's territory and are under the jurisdiction of the central government, so they naturally have to be handed over to the central government.

There are also taxes from Marshal Hong - since Marshal Hong has become a warlord, he naturally wants to exploit the common people to satisfy his own selfish desires, otherwise why would he try his best to climb up?Besides, he needs money to support so many people.

The common people who are equivalent to the Bilong clan have to pay double taxes. Therefore, although the three provinces have been prosperous since ancient times, the lives of the vast majority of the common people are not easy.

But if you are not well-off, you are not well-off, and there is no time when you cannot hold on.

Previously, the vast majority of ordinary people could barely support themselves by relying on their previous family wealth.

Unexpectedly, Marshal Hong would actually create a name for himself and add a lot of exorbitant taxes?Isn't he afraid that the common people will rebel?Didn’t Governor Bai and the others dissuade him?

A few rays of anger suddenly floated in Shen Guanye's heart, but it soon turned into helplessness.

No, the man named Hong is really not afraid.

The period from the end of the dynasty to the establishment of the new dynasty was the darkest. The rulers only saw their own class interests and regarded the common people as pigs and dogs.

Rebelled?
That is suppression.

Is this kind of thing rare in history?
Which dynasty's last years are not full of absurdities, which make people feel suffocated and angry when reading them. I wish I could jump into the history books and kill all the dog emperors and the ministers who were rebellious at that time, so that the world could be prosperous at that time?
If the rulers really cared, they would not plunge the world into collapse.

Although it is said that "when prosperity occurs, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer", if you really want to say it, the people who lived in the prosperous period of the dynasty must be luckier, and much luckier.

As for Governor Bai, they don’t want to dissuade him?

If a single man insists on going his own way, what can you do as a subordinate?

Deadly advice?
Putting aside Governor Bai, they definitely don’t think they have reached this level. At this stage, they can still suffer the people. Even if they really get to that level, how many people have such courage?

Besides, a leader who listens can never go so far as to remonstrate to death?As for a leader who doesn't listen, will he listen even if you rebuke him?
The successful death remonstrances in history were not because the emperors really woke up because of Qin's death, but because they were oppressed by public opinion and righteousness!

"It is said that Marshal Hong made a deal with the Star Kingdom, and the Lion of the Star Kingdom opened his mouth. Have you heard about this?"

Shen Shenghui looked at his son and asked.

Shen Guanye was slightly stunned, he really hadn't heard about it.

He was in the East China Sea. Because he had many things to do, his attention was basically on work and how to get the second level 5 lair. He didn't pay much attention to the internal affairs of the Bilong Valve. The key point was that Governor Bai and the others didn't tell him.

But according to Hong Canghai's temperament, there is a high probability that this is true.

Hong Canghai suffered such a huge fall and lost face so much that he even dreamed of getting it back.

Moreover, he has indeed lost some of his top combat power. It is when the sense of security is insufficient. In order to obtain a sufficient sense of security, it is very possible to purchase archangels and other heroic spirits from the Star Kingdom at any cost.

Shen Guanye was about to say something when he suddenly saw a lot of people gathering in front of him. The location was where Qingxi Medical Center was.

"What happened up front?"

Shen Guanye couldn't help but frown.

"I don't know. I was fine when I picked you up at the station."

"Master, Master, do you want to get out of the car and take a look?"

"Get out of the car and have a look."

Shen Shenghui said.

The three people got out of the car and approached the crowd. Soon someone saw Shen Guanye and his son.

"Hey! Director Shen is back?"

The villagers greeted Shen Guanye and his son warmly.

"What happened?"

Shen Guanye asked.

The villagers gathered in front of them frowned and said in a tone of sigh and pity:

"It was Huang Datou. He threw himself into the river."

Shen Guanye paused.

Huang Datou is Huang Xianggong. Because his head is much larger than that of ordinary people, many people call him Huang Datou.

"Huang Xianggong? Why?"

Shen Guanye felt a sense of trance and unreality as he suddenly heard that someone he knew had died.

"Yes, it's him," the villager who spoke gave a positive answer, and then glanced at Shen Guanye, "Director Shen, you were familiar with Huang Datou before, so you should know that he only has a seriously ill mother in his family, right? "

Shen Guanye nodded subconsciously, but he still didn't come back to his senses.

The death of a stranger has a completely different impact than the death of an acquaintance.

Shen Guanye could kill so many soldiers of the Star Kingdom and Fusang Kingdom without any expression on his face, and it was easy to hit them one by one, but the death of Huang Xianggong made him confused.

Huang Xianggong was a hard-luck man. His father died when he was very young. He had an older brother, but he was disabled and his brain was very difficult to use. (In fact, Huang Xianggong's brain was not very bright, but at least he was considered a normal person. To the point of stupidity, Shen Guanye felt that Huang Xianggong's family should have a genetic disease that caused low intelligence).

Huang Xianggong's mother lost her husband at a young age. In these troubled times, one person raised the foolish eldest son and the young son. One can imagine the hardships and fatigue they suffered during this period.

Later, one night, the eldest son suddenly went out for some unknown reason in the middle of the night. When he found it, he had already floated on Zhenlong and had been dead for a long time.

Huang Xianggong's mother lost her husband when she was young and her son when she was middle-aged. It was already miserable enough. Finally, her life got better, but she became seriously ill again.

It can be said that "the hemp rope only picks out the thinnest places to break, and the bad luck only picks out the miserable people".
