Chapter 673

Why did zhongzhao become the most powerful country in the Central Plains?

First, zhongzhao has unique geographical advantages. The border only borders on other Central Plains countries, and there is no disaster of foreigners.

Second, the imperial edict was first established among the five countries, which seized a lot of wealth of the previous dynasty and attracted many famous families.

It is expected that the wealth accumulated by aristocratic families will become the first of the five countries.

However, excessive comfort gave birth to internal strife.

Today, zhongzhao has stepped into the footsteps of Dongqing, and the dispute over party imprisonment is becoming more and more fierce.

In addition to internal fighting, the rich, extravagant and comfortable life also distorts the thoughts of some people and can be used as demons.

As the man in gray mocked, there are so many moths provoked by the imperial edict. It's just that there are too few dead people.

If the imperial edict were to arrange a bunch of enemies with tiger and wolf rings, their border would be restless. Countless young and strong people died miserably, and the number of newborns decreased year by year. See if they still tossed the so-called "women's four books"... Forbidding widows to remarry and restricting women to keep their virginity

Oh, it's so slippery.

The man in grey left the teahouse and followed his memory to find the place where the sinking ceremony was held.

When he arrived, a group of people who were not too busy had gathered in front of him and stood by the water to point out.

The noisy discussion was mixed with crying. The man in gray looked down and followed the cry. The crying child is not old. The boy has a long childhood, about seven or eight years old, and the girl has a young and thin childhood, but at the age of three or four, they are black and thin.

Beside them, there was a young man in his twenties, who looked ferocious, protected the child and roared at the crowd.

Combined with the discussion of the tea shop and the conversation of the villagers watching the sink pond, the man in gray sorted out the outline of the story.

To put it simply, a young widow of twenty-three couldn't stand loneliness. She stole a man from the same village, was caught and sank into the pond.

The man in gray took two steps closer. With the convenience of his tall body, he saw a drowning woman with blue and white skin lying by the pond.

Before he arrived, the man had been drowned in a pig cage.

Before long, the crowd dispersed, with the strange joy of violating the taboo. It was disgusting.

The man in Gray was about to leave, but he saw the young man dripping into the water, picked up the woman's body half submerged in the water and prepared to carry it home.

He lowered his eyes, paused and took out some broken silver to the children around the young man.

Look at the clothes of young people. They don't look like rich people, let alone give women a dignity after death.

The young man bit his lips tremblingly, and his eyes were filled with tears. After half a ring, he said in a strong accent, "thank you, big brother."

The man in grey took the opportunity to ask two more questions and heard another version.

The woman who was sunk in the pond was a village flower from a neighboring village. She married her husband a few years ago. Her stomach hasn't moved for several years. She finally got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. Her mother-in-law hates her very much. After her daughter was born, her husband died. The woman was young and widowed. Her mother-in-law treated them more harshly. She felt that her granddaughter was born to control people. Even when the woman didn't pay attention, she threw her daughter into the mountain and nearly fed the wolf.

The young man went hunting in the mountain and happened to save his daughter. The two met and fell in love with each other over time.

A widowed widow has a difficult life with her only daughter. One is a widower who has lost his wife. He has a son under his knee. They have good feelings. They are a perfect couple. After a long time, I pierced the barrier. After discussion, I was ready to live together and support each other.

However, the woman's mother-in-law couldn't accept it. She scolded the woman for being cheap, didn't keep festivals for his son, and slandered that they had an improper relationship for a long time. The couple also went to the patriarch, hoping to drown the unclean woman so as not to dirty the family's reputation.

The young man hunts all year round, but he frightens the people who come to catch people back with his brute force.

He can protect her once or twice. How can he protect her forever?

This morning, the woman found that her daughter and stepson were missing. She was afraid that the child would be abducted and sold by human teeth or thrown into the mountain by her mother-in-law to feed the wolf. She hurried out to find it. Unexpectedly, it was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. She was caught by the people who ambushed in the morning and forcibly caught in the pond and drowned.

When the young man realized that it was bad, he hurried to come. It was too late.

After listening to the story, the man in gray gave a short and sarcastic "Oh".

What's the funniest thing in the world——

A woman who does her best to ask women all over the world to observe festivals in a righteous manner!

"Take these silver and change places. If they remember one day, they may catch the girl too..."

The young man cried and looked wronged, but he didn't accept the kindness of the man in gray.

For him, it was the greatest kindness for the man in gray not to come and scold him and the woman.

With a sigh, the man in gray gave the money bag to the boy who shrunk aside, and couldn't help rubbing the girl's bun.

"What's the matter with the world..."

The young man carried the woman's cold and swollen body and sobbed.

"Oh, the wicked will eat their own fruit."

The man in gray left this sentence and left quietly.

That night, the lights in the imperial city were bright.

All the teaching workshops are bustling, with endless strings, graceful figures, and Miao man's posture arouses people's reverie.

The palace is also full of vocal music, and there is a luxurious and decadent atmosphere everywhere.

The man in grey sneaked into the palace through the door and came down to the Tianfeng palace where the queen lived with the help of his insiders.

On the top of the red door hung a black gold nanmu plaque with three big characters of dragon flying and Phoenix dancing - Tianfeng palace.

In the palace, candles flicker, and a phoenix spreads its wings on the cornice and bucket arch carved of sandalwood.

In the bedroom hall, sandalwood beams and pearls are used as curtains. A huge moon pearl is hanging in the sky of the hall, shining, as if the full moon in the sky is hooked into the hall, just like a fairyland on earth. The ground paved with white jade shines with warm light, embedded with precious stones and gold beads. The ground is chiseled into lotus. The lotus blossoms are lifelike, the petals are fresh and exquisite, the stamens are delicate and discernible, and the gold-plated incense burner in the middle is steaming mist.

Oh, it's the ultimate luxury.

The man in grey had changed his clothes. He went straight into the hall. He didn't meet a gong'e on the way.

"Come on, give it to the palace..."

In the hall, the palace woman is kneeling in front of the dressing mirror and making up on the mirror.

Take a closer look, the mirror full of gems is not copper. It can reflect the human figure clearly and brightly, like a magic mirror.

Through the mirror reflection, the woman in Palace Dress saw a man with a changed face standing behind her. Her face gave her a very familiar feeling... This man... Seemed to be an acquaintance... She was shocked. She found that there were no palace people waiting in the hall.

Suppressing her fear, she turned to him calmly and asked him, "who are you?"

"Noble people forget things. Do you remember Xie Qian, who was murdered by you more than ten years ago?"

As he spoke, he showed the long gun wrapped in cloth and directly took the gun to the woman's heart.
