The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 590 Make a friend
The one who robbed him was the steward of the younger brother of the concubine of the local county doctor.

Such an intact fire fox is considered a rare item and is worth at least a few gold coins. However, the butler unceremoniously used ten Dangzhibu coins to force the sale on it.

Of course his father was unwilling and was beaten severely.

The Firefox was robbed and not a single piece was captured. He also suffered a lot of injuries and it took him three full months to recover.

During these three months, it was all thanks to his mother's hard work that the family did not starve to death.

Because of this, his mother's waist was so tired that she could no longer straighten it and would always be hunched over.

Of course this matter must be reported to the authorities. After his father recovers from his injuries, he will go to the authorities to file the case.

His mother pulled him and begged him to let it go, pretend that the incident had never happened, and continue living his life as before.

But it was a clear day, in broad daylight, I knew I had been robbed, and the wounds on my body were still aching, how could I just let it go?

His father was a stubborn man who had never stolen or robbed anyone in his life and was always friendly to others. He could not understand why some people could rob others of their property in broad daylight and beat up innocent people at will.

His father took great pains to find witnesses from the market that day, and a few people were willing to testify.

Then, disaster struck.

The county official first beat him with twenty sticks, then tattooed him and cut off his nose, on the grounds that his hunting was illegal and he did not pay taxes to the tax collectors in charge of the local mountains, rivers, and lakes.

God can testify that every time we go hunting, we pay taxes to the tax collectors. But why do the tax collectors say they don’t have any?
Those who tell lies will be punished by God!
The poor hunter had no idea that the fire fox he caught had long become the shawl of the county doctor's concubine. Every time the county doctor saw it, he would praise the beautiful fur and how it reflected the beauty's charm.

His father was sent home, but died within three days. His mother cried so much that her eyes went blind, and he was the only one left at home.

At that time, Yabai was twelve years old.

Yabai is like his father, a stubborn person.

The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable.

But what could a mere hunter's son do to take revenge? The county doctor could kill his entire family with just one word.

And he still has a poor old mother to take care of.

His mother cried until she went blind, so he would never cry again.

At the age of twelve, the whole family fell on his shoulders.

He is smart enough, hardworking enough, and tenacious enough.

Although it is hard to inherit my father's craft, it is enough as long as I can take good care of my mother.

He never paid taxes to the invaders again, preferring to go deeper and farther into the mountains.

Even if it means taking a longer detour, taking a more dangerous road that no one has ever taken, it can't even be called a road.

Pay taxes to the tax collectors. Since they say there is no tax, then there is really no tax.

The axiom is false, but the hunting knife in your hand is real.

He chopped wood every day, swinging his knife a thousand times. Three years later, that number became five thousand.

One day, ten days, one month, one year, ten years.

Never slack off for a single day.

I don’t know since when he was able to face any prey head-on.

No matter what prey it was, in front of him, it could not withstand a casual cut from the ordinary hunting knife in his hand, which was so blunt that it could hardly kill a chicken.

Even if it is a tiger that dominates the mountains and is feared by everyone, you only need to raise your hand and wave it down, and the tiger will fall down and never stand up again.

But he still couldn't take revenge because of his mother.

Killing is easy, but what happens after killing? The former county doctor has become the county magistrate, a true Marquis of Baili, an official appointed by the imperial court.

If we kill him, we will have no place to stay in the entire Chu State. My mother is old and has become increasingly frail and frail in recent years. She cannot stand the constant running around.

If I die, who will take care of my mother? What if I cause trouble for my mother?
I can only continue swinging the knife.

Sharpening the knife at night, the bleak moonlight shines on the sharp hunting knife, and the cold knife light shines on his face, which is already old enough at a young age. His eyes are bright, but he can't shed a single tear.

When Fu Chu saw the cliff cypress, he was hunting in the forest. At that time, he was too deep in the forest and was a little far away from the guards. From a distance, he only saw a flash of a knife and a black bear fell down neatly.

This knife made Fu Chu shocked.

What is the most important thing if you want to achieve great things in this world?

Talent!

For a man with great ambitions, or even great ambitions, talent is more important than a wife!
Fuchu didn't care about hunting, and rode as fast as he could to chase Yabai, but unfortunately he was too far away and couldn't catch up with him. He couldn't catch up with Yabai who was hiding with the black bear on his back even on horseback.

Although he failed to catch up with her, Fu Chu had already remembered the appearance of Thuja saburoki.

The man was tall but slightly thin, with a distinctly tough demeanor.

His facial features were clearly defined, and his skin was rough and dark from years of exposure to wind and sun. He didn't look very old, but there were already a few shallow wrinkles on his forehead, and his beard was untidy.

He was wearing a gray suit that had been washed to a pale color. It was simple but clean and tidy.

He had a tattered cloth belt tied around his waist, with a small patched cloth bag hanging on it, which could hold some dry food. It was made for him by his blind old mother.

As for what he held in his hand, it was a hunting knife that was less than three feet long. It had been sharpened through who knows how many years.

He was dressed in simple and poor clothes, and his appearance was ordinary. Fu Chu had no doubt that if he had not seen the knife, he would never have taken a second look at such a man if he saw him on the street.

But once you see it, it’s the fate given by God!

Fu Chu immediately summoned all his guards to inquire about this person. He must find this person.

Yabai himself does not care about food and drink. All he has in his mind is revenge, and he uses the knife in his hand to enforce justice.

But he couldn't bear to see his mother suffer.

His mother was a woman with a miserable life. She never had a good life after marrying his father. After his father passed away, she cried until her eyes went blind.

When Yabai was still unable to take care of the family, it was his blind old mother who took on the responsibility of being a mother. She could no longer do needlework, so she could only make a living by washing clothes for others in a more diligent and hard way.

In winter, all ten fingers were swollen like radishes, and the palms and fingers were covered with winding and crisscrossing cracks. Each line was a dry wound. After being soaked in water for a long time, the wounds had turned into white flesh and could not bleed.

Now she is less than 40 years old, but her waist has long been unable to stand straight, and her hair has long been gray. The cruelty of life has left obvious marks on her. Just one look at her and you will know how cruel life has been to her.

If it weren’t for her son’s company, I really don’t know how this poor woman could have survived?
After Yabai had mastered the art of hunting, he was able to live a wealthy life. Although he kept a low profile and did not want to attract attention, he built a new courtyard for his mother in a remote place and bought a poor little girl to take care of.

Although life cannot be said to be rich and prosperous, it is stable and peaceful.

After Fu Chu's unremitting search, he finally found the Thuja sutchuenensis and sent people to carefully investigate the situation of the Thuja sutchuenensis.

Although the information he received was that Yabai was just a hunter with good luck, who was usually eccentric, taciturn, and seldom interacted with others, Fu Chu naturally knew the real Yabai.

There must be a reason why a master lives this way.

He personally led people to investigate and finally found out that this happened more than ten years ago, and there are not many people alive who still remember it. It was Yabai’s neighbor at that time who told Fu Chu.

A county lord, even one as powerful as a prince, cannot be disposed of at will.

But Fu Chu still gritted his teeth and insisted on getting rid of the county magistrate!
Fu Chu took great pains to collect all the negative information about the county magistrate, and then impeached him personally, intending to kill him, and mobilized several ministers.

This made King Kaolie of Chu feel a little puzzled. Since when did it become a big deal for a county magistrate to control a few unruly people?
However, seeing that Fu Chu was so determined, he just dealt with the county magistrate. As for the several cases that Fu Chu wanted to overturn, they also handed them over to Fu Chu to handle.

Some things are not even three ounces if they are not weighed, but they weigh a thousand pounds if they are weighed.

If Fu Chu stood on this scale called fairness, then the county magistrate on the other end would have to be set up.

The county magistrate didn't know why he was arrested until he was thrown into jail. He obviously didn't do anything excessive. He was respectful to his superiors and loyal to the royal family. As for some other minor issues, everyone did the same. He didn't do anything excessive and didn't cause the wrath of heaven or people.

Until Fu Chu came with only a few guards, escorting the county magistrate, his concubine, his concubine's brother, especially the housekeeper of his concubine's brother's family, including the tax collector in charge of collecting taxes from the county's mountains, rivers, ponds and lakes, all to the door of Yabai's house, the county magistrate still had no idea what was going on.

More than ten years have passed, and he has long forgotten the little bit of power he once had.

After all, he has acted willfully too many times since he became an official.

Fu Chu waited patiently at the door of Yabai's house for two hours, until it was dark and Yabai came back from hunting.

It was not until this time that Thuja sutchu got to know Fuchu.

When Fu Chu arrived, the old mother in Yabai's house and the little girl who served her had never seen such a world before. They were so scared that they dared not go out. Fu Chu did not disturb them but just waited outside the door.

Fu Chu waited for half an hour. Yabai's mother felt that Fu Chu had no ill intentions and wanted to invite Fu Chu to go into the yard first. Fu Chu respectfully declined and insisted on waiting outside the door.

When Yabai saw Fu Chu, the first thing he saw was the county magistrate and the steward who were tied up behind Fu Chu, and the conqueror. He would never forget these faces.

But he finally suppressed his murderous intent and invited Fu Chu into his home first.

Fu Chu was respectful, without any airs of a young master. After explaining his identity, he only said that the injustice of that year had been investigated and redressed, and the notice had been issued, restoring the innocence of Yabai's father.

All the people who caused the wrongful case have been arrested, and they have been found to have committed favoritism and abuse of power. They have all been sentenced to death and are now being handled by Yabai.

Yabai was silent for a long time and only asked Fuchu what he wanted.

Fu Chu had only one sincere word to say: let's make friends.
