Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 43 Peng Yue
As it approaches Onozawa, the villages and castles along the way appear more and more dilapidated.

Onoze is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms where bandits are rampant, and although Ziying’s direction still belongs to Qi State, it is not the hometown of Qi State, and it is outside the Great Wall of Qi. Once a war breaks out, it must belong to the first Abandoned area.

Therefore, the State of Qi did not make great efforts to develop this area. Instead, it imposed heavy taxes on the people here, which made the residents of this area relatively poorer than those in the mainland of Qi.

But as far as I know, these are still good, at least they are still serious "citizens" of Qi State, and their life is at least much better than that of the fishermen living in Dayeze.

Those fishermen are basically a group of helpless, without their own residence, living on the boat all day, relying on fishing for a living, wandering on the Onozawa for generations, and even don't know where their country belongs.

Among the township population around Onozawa, the group of people floating on Onozawa are a group of "untouchables" who have no land.

A group of people passed by a market in a village, and Ziying greeted Xia Ke. "Go down and find out."

After getting off the carriage, he walked straight to a fish stall.

The stall owner selling fish is a thin man. Except for the important parts, the rest of his body is covered only with some straw mats made of reeds, which can't even cover his body.

Beside the stall owner, a woman in slightly better clothes was squatting on a bluestone, holding two little girls about five or six years old in scantily clad clothes in her arms.

There are about five or six feet long grass carp in the fish basket. Although the people who come and go ask a lot, their attitude towards the stall owner is not very friendly. The fish is also cheap, and often a small handful of food is enough In exchange for a big grass carp.

The fish sellers near Onozawa were basically the residents of the lake. Ziying estimated that even if all the fish were sold, the food in exchange might not be enough for the family to eat for a day.

Ziying got out of the car and walked straight to the fish beach. The fish seller's family was obviously a little nervous about Ziying's presence.

No wonder, the place is poor.Even if they don't count the homeless fishermen on the Great Nozawa, the civilians on the nearby shore are not rich.Those who can go out with a good set of clothes can be counted as a middle-class family, and Ziying and his party not only ride in a carriage and ride on tall horses, but the clothes they wear are even more gorgeous in his eyes.

Seeing them walking towards him, this man could even be said to be a little frightened. In his eyes, Ziying and the others must belong to the family of the rich and powerful. He could make his family disappear from this world with just a move of his fingers.

Ziying squatted down before walking to the fish beach, Jiang Ge and other four guards naturally spread out to protect Ziying in the middle.

Seeing the four guards carrying weapons, the family seemed even more terrified, and the woman hid behind the man with her two daughters in her arms.

Seeing this situation, Ziying also seemed a little helpless, turned her head and said, "You four should stay away first." Turning her head, she tried her best to reveal a kind smile.

I never thought that this smile would scare the family even more.The man trembled and said, "I'll give you the fish, don't kill us..."

As soon as the man finished speaking, one of his daughters even cried out of fright.

The townspeople passing by only dared to watch from afar.

"The situation is wrong! Why do I feel like I have become a rich young master who does all kinds of evil?" Ziying was depressed.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just want to ask you about someone." After speaking, he took out a few coins from his pocket and put them in front of Hanzi. "Take it and buy a dress for the child!"

Although the knife coin is the currency in circulation in Qi State, the man has only seen it a few times.No matter how many fish he sells, he can't save a knife coin.I never thought that the gorgeously dressed young man in front of me would sell a few knives just to ask someone.

However, he could also see from this that this young son should be a good person and would not be detrimental to his family.So he stammered and said: "Your...Young Master, I want to ask... who is it?"

"Excuse me, do you know where Peng Yue is?"

As soon as Ziying's words fell, Xia Ke who was staying at the side was puzzled. Rao Yangjun really came to find someone, but who is this Peng Yue?How could the young master know that there was such a person in Da Ye Ze in Rao Yang.

"I know, I know!" The man nodded quickly when he heard Ziying's question.

Ziying didn't expect to know where Peng Yue was when he asked. He was one of the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty. He just vaguely remembered that he should have been fishing on the Great Yeze before he rebelled against Qin. After thinking about it, I got his news.

"Then can you take me to meet him?" Ziying continued to ask.

"Yes, yes." The man continued to nod and said: "He should still be fishing in the marsh now. But he built a straw hut for his mother in the reeds on the bank, and I can take you there and wait. "

This man also saw that Ziying and his party had no malicious intentions at all, so he directly agreed to take them to find Peng Yue.

With that knife and coin, he has directly caught up with his income from fishing for several years, so he directly closed the stall and led Ziying to Pengyue's shack.

A group of people walked along the tortuous lake for about half an hour, and came to a grass shed on the shore in a field of reeds.

The grass shed is very short, about the height of a person.

As he approached the thatched shed, he heard a weak voice from inside: "Yue'er, is it you who came back? Mother is so uncomfortable."

Hearing the fish seller explain: "Peng Yue's mother has been seriously ill for several days, she couldn't get up, and the boat was bumpy, so Peng Yue secretly built a straw nest for her mother on the shore.

Peng Yue is very filial to his mother, and has been fishing and selling fish day and night in recent days, just trying to raise money for his mother to be treated by a doctor, but the doctors in the city charge too much and have not been able to raise enough.

After serving his mother for dinner in the morning, Peng Yue should still be fishing desperately on the lake, and he probably won't come back to cook dinner for the old man until evening. "

"Jiang Ge, Bai Ping, drive my carriage and immediately go to the nearby city to invite the best doctor. The room is small and you two wait outside. Xia Ke, follow me in to see how the old lady is doing." The fisherman said Ziying immediately said:
"promise!"

At this time, Peng Yue was a strong Chinese character about 30 years old. He was shirtless on the upper body and a pair of patched linen trousers on the lower body.

The catch in the afternoon was good, and if this continues for a few more days, he might be able to collect the consultation fee for his mother. Peng Yue's heart has been broken by his mother's illness recently.

Thinking of the paddle in his hand, he couldn't help but increase his strength. He was very worried about his mother's condition after leaving for almost a day.

Approaching the shack he built, Peng Yue couldn't help but panic.Not only was there a puff of smoke rising from his hut, but there was also a carriage parked on the shore.

"Mother!..." Seeing this, Peng Yue was worried that his mother had been murdered, and with a loud roar, he abandoned the boat and jumped into the water, swimming quickly to the shore.
