National Beauty

Chapter 199 199

Song Zhang, a commoner in the tea field, is Guo Xiao in disguise.

Long before the Northern Expedition, after understanding the deep and hot waters of Shu from the few words heard from King Shou, Guo Xiao stayed up all night and gave birth to ambition. Princes and generals were never destined. Looking through the history books, how many founding princes were born emperors? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The world of Da Zhou was also snatched from the previous dynasty. Why could Gaozu rebel with his troops, but he couldn’t?

The people in the Shu area were suffering, and the imperial court had no time to divide the troops in the Liao Kingdom. It was a god-given opportunity to instigate rebellion.

When it is finished, he will be the new emperor of the Central Plains, and his father will not turn his face against him because of the dead Zhao family. He can also fake her identity and then enter the palace to spoil her with integrity. As for the cousin, Guo Xiao feels ashamed, so he will give his cousin two ways. One is to continue to follow him, he is willing to give the cousin the honor of the queen but not favored, and the other is to get away, he will pick a cousin worthy of Her good man, continue to enjoy the princess honor.

In case of defeat…he still has a retreat.

“Song Zhang, come here, let’s eat first, and then pick it up after eating.” A tall man with a dark face called in front of the tea field.

Holding the dustpan, Guo Xiao strode over.

Sitting on the ground were two families. The black-faced man who had just called Guo Xiao was Wang and Wu. He was a tenant farmer in Weijiang Town, Qingcheng County. There are two hundred households in Weijiang Town, but the nearby fields are in the hands of a large landlord. The remaining people used to have land at home, but because they are getting poorer and poorer, they have to sell the land to the landlord, and then rent the land from the landlord. Make a living. Among many tenant farmers, Wang Wu has the highest prestige because of his open temperament and willingness to help others.

The green-dressed woman sitting next to Wang Wu is his wife Li, and the couple has a 10-year-old girl named Liuer. Another strong man is called Li Shun, the younger brother of the Li family. Because the family members are all dead, the older sister who came to be married has been living with his brother-in-law Wang Wu. This year is twenty-three, he has a fiancée who lives in a neighboring village. The two plan to get married when they sell out this batch of summer tea.

“Brother virtuous work hard, let your sister-in-law give you a wife in the coming year.” Wang Wu said to Guo Xiao vaguely while chewing. In Wang Wu’s eyes, Guo Xiao was a disaster victim who had escaped from a famine. He was taciturn and looked hard to get along with. In fact, he was diligent, capable, and very sincere. In order to repay his favor, he was willing to be a servant of the Wang family. Wang Wu couldn’t bear it. Seeing that Guo Xiao had nowhere to go, he took Guo Xiao as his righteous brother.

Guo Xiao smiled, bowed his head to eat, his eyes fell on the tea field beside him. This year is another drought year. The tea harvest is not good. He likes Wang Wu’s prestige among the tenant farmers, but Wang Wu has a simple temperament, and he has no reason to persuade Wang Wu to revolt…

“Li Shun, Li Shun! It’s not good, go and see, Zao’er was bullied by their village chief and forced to hit the wall and commit suicide!”

The tea field was planted on the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, suddenly there was a shout from the villagers, an anxious voice came over, and it continued to echo in the empty valley. Wang Wu was so shocked that he forgot to chew Wowotou. His wife Li looked down the mountain in disbelief. Guo Xiao was also surprised. Only Li Shun lost the Wowotou in his hand and ran down like a wind.

“Look at Liu’er, my virtuous brother will go with me!” After reacting, Wang Wu solemnly urged his wife, and he called Guo Xiao and ran away.

The three big men rushed all the way to a neighboring village three miles away, only to see the bloodied body of Li Shun’s fiancée Zaoer, a 17-year-old girl, thin and small, with a bloodstained face. Only that The eyes of the double-dead stare, you can see the panic and despair, and can also see a little bit of beauty.

“Zao’er!” Li Shun rushed over, grabbing the remaining body temperature of his fiancee, crying with a low headache, trembling shoulders, indescribable sadness.

“I’m going to sue officials!” Zao’er’s father reddened his eyes, coughing and shouted at the closed door of the village chief’s house.

Remembering his enemy, Li Shun suddenly raised his head and rushed to kick open the door of the village chief’s house, but the village chief’s house raised a few strong men, and they united to stop him. If the fight was unsuccessful, Li Shun and Zaoer’s family went to the county seat to sue officials and the county magistrate was promoted to a church. The village chief and villagers interrogated. The village chief naturally refused to admit that he secretly gave the prefect ten taels of silver. Even though the tenant farmers all helped Zao’er’s family to testify, the prefect still sentenced Zao’er’s father and mother and Li Shun to falsely accuse them, each of whom fought 20 taels.

The board was hit hard, and Li Shun was taken back home by Wang Wu and Guo Xiao.

At dusk, before the heat had cleared, Li Shun was lying on the kang with his face buried in his arms and kept crying. His elder sister Li picked the herbs and cried to help his younger brother with medicine. Wang Wu couldn’t see it, and walked to the backyard and beat him severely. A few punches against the wall.

“Big brother, the tyrants oppress the people, and the government assists them to abuse them. It is the second sister-in-law who died today. If we continue to bear it, and tomorrow, it may be Liuer and the sister-in-law.

Behind him came a sound of forbearing anger, Wang Wu’s heart stunned, and he slowly turned around, looking at his brother with complicated eyes. He knew that what the righteous brother said was the truth, not alarmist, but what else could they do besides Shinobi? Can’t beat the landlord and tycoon, even more can’t beat the government officials…

“Big brother, let’s go against it.” Guo Xiao stared into Wang Wu’s eyes, his voice low, but like ice, it directly pierced Wang Wu’s heart.

Wang Wu was horrified, subconsciously looking to the left and right, afraid of being heard. Confirming that there was no one, he later realized that he was sweating, approached Guo Xiao, and worried: “Does Brother Xian know what he is talking about?”

Guo Xiao clenched his fist, his eyes filled with a long-suppressed anger: “Big brother thought I was crazy? Then the big brother knows why I ended up here? Now, I don’t lie to the big brother. I, like my second brother, are both fiancées. I was bullied, but I couldn’t swallow the breath. Taking advantage of the animal being alone, I wiped the opponent’s neck with a single knife, and then fled to this place. I wanted to stay anonymous and live safely, but the result? Second brother…”

Before he finished speaking, he hit the wall with a punch.

Only then did Wang Wu know the bitterness of the righteous brother. Both brothers were forced to die of their wives. After listening to the cries of their own daughter-in-law and daughter in the house, he thought that his daughter might be targeted by a bully when he grows up. Wang Wuyi He gritted his teeth and made a decision in an instant. He held down Guo Xiao’s shoulder and said: “Virtuous brother Mo Bei, tomorrow eldest brother will contact other tenants, but eldest brother has not read a book, knows nothing, how to act, I still need to advise me .”

“My life was saved by my eldest brother. As long as my elder brother gives an order, Song Zhang is willing to be a pioneer and conquer the city and land for my eldest brother!” Guo Xiao stubbornly cut the railway.

The two hit it off and went to discuss with Li Shun. Li Shun had his fiancée dead. He wanted to peel off the landlord’s family and eat the meat of the county government office. Naturally, he would not object. Next, Guo Xiao, the “youngest” who had read books, began to act as a military adviser, first persuading Li Shun to recover from his illness, and he and Wang Wu waited for the opportunity.

A few days later, the official uniform came to collect tea, and the price was 10% lower than last year. Due to the severe drought in Shu, there were already few tea picks this year. The government kept lowering the price while preventing the people from selling it privately. The tea grown by tea farmers was sold to landlords for four times, and the rest was sold, even for half a year’s rations. No, it’s impossible to get past it!

At this moment, Guo Xiao signaled that Wang Wu and Li Shun could secretly win over the tenant farmers, and he also helped them think of a lobbying word: “I am sick and the rich and the poor are uneven, and this is your all.”

Officials, businessmen, and landlords relied on searching for us to get rich, but we got worse and worse. Today I will revolt for the people, and the gains in the future will be shared equally by everyone!

The tenant farmers all had this worry, they could divide the money at the first sound, and with the large number of people, it seemed easy to grab a landlord in the town, and they all expressed their willingness to join. In just two days, all the more than 200 tenant farmers in Weijiang Town took refuge in Wang Wu. That night, Wang Wu held up a torch and led the crowd into the landlord’s house, killing the landlord’s family, and splitting the money.

He opened the bow without turning his head back. Since he killed someone, he must continue to kill, otherwise he would be arrested by the government sooner or later. So he rested all night and ate and drank enough in the morning. Wang Wu and Li Shun brought hundreds of strong men. Went to the next village. Life is difficult, and the tenant households in the villages have long accumulated a lot of grievances. At this moment, when someone took the lead in hitting the landlord, they didn’t need Wang Shun and others to persuade him to take the initiative to pick up the pick and start the fight together.

In just ten days, all the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Qingcheng County belonged to Wang Wu and Li Shun, and his men also gathered 20,000 men with red eyes.

The uprising army was headed by Wang Wu and Li Shun, but few people knew that it was Song Zhang, the righteous brother and strategist of the two men, who actually made the plan, Guo Xiao, the famous elder son of the Weiguo Palace in the capital.

In Qingcheng County, Guo Xiao called Wang Wu and Li Shun to the map, and pointed to a place east of Qingcheng and said, “Big brother and second brother, what do you think about the attack on Qiongzhou tomorrow?”

“The third brother says we will fight wherever we want to fight!” Wang Wu laughed wildly. With the sweetness, thousands of people chanted the commander, Wang Wu had grown courage early, and he no longer had the hesitation of the first uprising, and the brothers’ trust in Guo Xiao became more and more firm.

When the insurgents frantically attacked the county towns far and near, the memorials made by officials from the Shu area about the people’s rebellion were quickly spread to the capital.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Northern Liao Kingdom, after stabilizing her internal affairs, personally led her army to the south to avenge the provocation of Da Zhou.

The court is in a hurry for internal and external troubles!
