daughter in power

Chapter 20
Going all the way, you will soon reach the boundary of Yuyin City.

The Jade Country is not big, and the Little Yuyin City is located on the bank of the Shenzhou River, just to enjoy the scenery on the river.

As we approached the city gate, more and more pedestrians came and went.

Life is always going on, if you can't pay the 1000 taels of transit fee, and you can't let go of your mother, child and wife, you can only stay and continue to suffer from the subjugation of the country.

Feng Qiqi was wearing low-quality clothes, carrying a low-quality bag, with a dark face, and Yu Yu walked alone.

While walking, he looked at the people of Yu Kingdom he met on the way.However, many of them didn't seem to be showing excessive helplessness, and most of them just looked too serious.

Feng Qiqi raised her eyebrows, looking at the wolf soldiers galloping along the official road, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the wolf guards looked at her face casually and waved her to let her into the city.

In the past, the people of Yu Kingdom always had to pay a tax of three renminbi when entering the city. Since the wolf soldiers who fought against King Xiaoyang were stationed here, the three renminbi was exempted.

Feng Qiqi entered the city with his hands in his sleeves, raised his head, and saw the corpse hanging high above the city gate at a glance.

There were about twenty or thirty corpses, all men of different heights.

The man in the middle, wearing a yellow ocher dragon robe and a red gold crown, is not the old emperor of the Yu Kingdom, but who is he?

Feng Qiqi was stunned. On the first day she traveled here, she opened her eyes and saw an old man pressing on her body. Whoever it was, would have a deep memory.

Goodbye now, even though heaven and man are separated forever, Feng Qiqi still recognized him at a glance.

Sure enough, King Xiaoyang didn't lie to her, he did hang all the top figures in Yuguo's platoon to the gate of the city.It's just to make the common people fear the New Deal and treat the former royal family as straw dogs.

In this way, it is no wonder that the people of Yu Country will almost run away.After all, the victorious nation would not spare even their incomparably noble emperor, so how could they spare innocent people like them?

Feng Qiqi pretended to go to the city wall, and found a tea stand to drink tea and ask questions.

The owner of the tea stall is an old woman, and she didn't laugh at her dark face, but tried her best to turn on the stove, and said with a smile, "Lady, wait a moment, the old woman's water hasn't been boiled yet."

With a flash of her eyes, Feng Qiqi went to sit under the shed of the tea stall, and casually looked at the corpses on the city wall.

Looking at them one by one, she found many faces she was not familiar with, and the only ones she recognized were probably the old emperor of Yu Kingdom and that Eunuch Zhang.Her heart skipped a beat, and she read it again, but still only recognized the old emperor of Yu Kingdom and Eunuch Zhang.

"The tea is ready."

The tea seller put the tea in front of her eyes, followed her gaze, and couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that the lady is from outside Yuyin City? At this time, the lady is not at home to guard the husband and the child, how come here?" ?”

Feng Qiqi didn't answer, she picked up the tea as if to drink it.

The aunt shook her head and said, "My lady must have heard about the New Deal, so she came here to find a job, right?"

Feng Qiqi nodded as a response.

The aunt laughed, rubbed her fat hands, and said with a smile: "Now that King Xiaoyang is in charge of Yuyin City, the common people can be regarded as living a good life. Look at my tea stall, and now I only pay three renminbi of tax in a month. , and can support a family of five."

Feng Qiqi raised her eyes and took a look at the aunt, and sure enough, she saw a satisfied new look all over her body.

This is strange, in memory, Feng Liulang has never said that life in Yu Country is not easy.How come here the tea seller said, it seems that Yuyin City in the past was really in dire straits.

It is probably because it is rare to meet a little lady who does not talk much, they are all women with families, so it is inevitable that they feel closer.

The aunt immediately gushed: "Look at the dead ghost hanging on the top, which one is for the common people to make a good life? They either rob the people's daughters by force, or buy and sell officials. In less than half a year, the whole city in the East City killed a lot of people. Thirty people were killed, all of them were wronged people who went to the city to sue..."

The aunt wiped her tears and sighed: "Who would go to Yuyin City to sue if there is a way to survive? Who would have thought that after suffering all kinds of hardships at the feet of the emperor, he would die unjustly in Dongshi. It is the emperor's dead ghost. The government only drafts girls, three times in three months, and only those under the age of 15..."

Hearing and hearing, there is really not a single good word from the previous dynasty.Feng Qiqi turned her head and looked at the people entering and leaving the city, wondering if her mood had changed, she really saw a slightly different atmosphere.

At least, none of these people were in rags, and there were no beggars or beggars.Everyone has serious faces, but their backs are not stooped, and their steps are not too heavy.

Is this weird?

If King Xiaoyang's new policy is really good, why are there tens of thousands of refugees at the border, wishing to fly into Daxia with wings.

The aunt greeted the guests with tea, and seeing that Feng Qiqi hadn't left, she walked up to her again, and sighed with a smile: "That's right, we women and Taoists, who can't read or write, don't have those who don't know how to write." Open-minded temperament. Whoever is the emperor, as long as life is easy, I will be willing to 1. At least, in the past, there were five people in a family, and my grandson could not be supported by three people. Now, it is a tea The stalls, fish, rice and noodles, can be bought by grandchildren if they want to eat."

The old lady was full of joy, and she was kind to every guest. Looking at those guests again, she listened to each one with great interest, and some even echoed a few words.

Only one person's face turned blue, and he drank the tea bowl in one gulp. He wanted to argue a few words, but he didn't seem to know what to say.

Seeing the man leave angrily, Feng Qiqi couldn't help raising his eyes to look at the corpse on the city wall.

She blinked and said casually: "Ma'am, you only care about the good of the New Deal, why don't you tell us about the scene of King Xiaoyang's attacking the city gate that night?"

Since ancient times, there is nothing good about siege of a city, it is all paved with blood.

The aunt was stunned, and said in disbelief: "Don't you know, little lady? The king of Xiaoyang came in, and it was the commander Yang who opened the city gate himself, and there was no fight at all."

She thought about it for a while, and then said: "It was later, when the emperor got the news and came out, he fought with the people of King Xiaoyang. Once the fight started, whoever of us dared to look at it would just close the door and turn off the lights." dead."

These words were different from what Feng Qiqi heard, before she opened her mouth, the guest next to her said: "I saw it with my own eyes."

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look at him, ready to listen to the miracles he said.

The guest was sitting seriously, took a sip of tea before lowering his voice and said: "I saw Feng Qingtian riding a skinny horse, running in front of the old emperor, he looked like he went crazy, Even my hair stood on end..."

Finally heard the important point, Feng Qiqi's eyes flickered, but she didn't make a sound.

"and after?"

"What happened to Feng Qingtian..."

Everyone hurriedly opened their mouths to ask.

The guest said: "I saw Feng Qingtian like that, how dare I look at it again, I was so scared that I fell off the wall and couldn't climb up again."

Everyone laughed, joking with each other, paying the tea money in a hurry because of the overjoy that was hard to show because the country had just been subjugated.

All of a sudden, the tea stand was gone, and only Da Niang and Feng Qiqi were left.

Feng Qiqi's eyes flickered, and she said softly: "Since Feng Qingtian ran ahead, he must be dead."

The aunt nodded, wiped her tears and said, "It's a pity for a good official like Qingtian, hey..."

Since he is dead, why is there no bones of him on the city wall?Didn't King Xiaoyang say that he hung Feng Liulang's body and the old emperor's body at the gate of the city together?

Could it be that King Xiaoyang lied?
Feng Qiqi paid the tea money, carried her inferior baggage, and headed to the south of the city step by step.Feng Liulang is nicknamed Feng Qingtian, so naturally, their family has no money to place the house in a prosperous place.

The scenery in the south of the city is beautiful, but it is a bit small and clean, so it is not the first choice of high officials.Because of the low price of the house and the large size of the house, Feng Rokuro bought it.

Feng Qiqi traveled unimpeded all the way, and was not questioned or hunted down.Along the way, the common people live in peace, and the shops are open as usual. It seems that not only their lives have not been affected, but they have a new taste in life.

This time, the slight strangeness in Feng Qiqi's heart was replaced by full of doubts.The death of victims of hunger and hunger at the border is not an illusion, how to explain it?
In less than half an hour, Feng Qiqi arrived at Feng's house.In front of the gate of the house, at some point there was a stone lion squatting, looking majestic.

The gate was closed and freshly painted.Feng Qiqi opened her eyes wide and looked carefully, full of suspicion.Could it be that before Cui Lingqiao and Fengyue left, they thought about coming back to stay for a while, so they actually renovated Fengfu?
Fengyue's dowry is almost all of Fengfu's possessions, how could she be willing to spend money to decorate it?
Feng Qiqi pushed open the vermilion door and walked in.

Entering the door, the original landscape painted on the screen wall has long since disappeared, replaced by four ghostly characters.Feng Qiqi only recognizes the third "kuo", and doesn't know the rest.

This is not the handwriting of Feng Liulang, nor is it the handwriting of anyone in the Feng family.

Feng Qiqi was suspicious, she didn't dare to walk with peace of mind, she jumped onto the screen wall, and stood on the top of the screen wall to look at Fengfu.

There were no people in the yard that came in and out, the garden path was covered by snow long ago, in the firewood house where Feng Qiqi used to stay, the evergreen trees were flourishing against the wind, and the tops of the trees were covered with white snow, revealing a silent loneliness.

Feng Qiqi was taken aback, not quite understanding.She jumped off the screen wall and walked along the snow-covered garden path to the small courtyard of the woodshed.

Walk all the way, watch all the way.The scenery of the house is good, and it also attracts the flowing water of Shenzhou River, which makes the place more and more elegant.These are all designs made by Feng Qiqi's biological mother when she was alive. Cui Lingqiao and Fengyue only enjoyed it for 13 years.

Feng Qiqi sighed secretly, and entered the courtyard where her family had lived for 13 years, but was stunned as soon as she entered the door.

The dilapidated and dusty firewood house in the past was overthrown and rebuilt by someone, and the decorated windows are bright and clean.The courtyard is full of red plums, which are in full bloom in the wind.

The scenery is too fresh and beautiful, and the wind is speechless for a while.

When she was sent to the palace, the small courtyard was dilapidated, exposed to the sun at sunrise, windy and rainy, it was really shameful.Cui Lingqiao simply sealed the courtyard door and asked Feng Qiqi to carry it from the flower hall of the main courtyard to the palace.

Back then, the emperor's old son took concubines, Cui Lingqiao was still like this, now that Feng Qiqi is gone, they will not renovate the yard anymore.

Feng Qiqi looked at the garden full of red plums, several new houses, and walked through the small vermilion door with one step.

At the other end of the yard, the door of the flower hall opened, and a person walked out quickly, looking at Feng Qiqi in surprise, and said loudly.
