Chapter 2533 Some death is the end and some death is the beginning
The first winter rain in the sixth year of Taixing finally came down.
Perhaps it’s not the first one?
No one particularly cares about this matter.
The rain in winter is particularly cold.
?The sky and the earth are covered in gray, as if immersed in gray water, with the smell of decay and the smell of blood. The cold wind passed through an abandoned village, whizzed and hovered under the remaining wall for a while, and then whizzed away again.
??Guo You touched the darkness and applied the medicine to his shoulder. He felt pain. He gritted his teeth and tried hard not to make any sound.
An unsheathed, blood-stained ring-headed knife was leaning against his leg.
The wound was covered with medicine, the bandage was pulled up, and the clothes were tied. His fingers and teeth were trembling in the darkness.
??The sound of soft footsteps came, and Guo You gripped the handle of the knife tightly with a cry.
"It''s me..." A low voice came from the other side of the broken wall, "My sister-in-law and the children have settled down..."
Guo You relaxed and let go of the handle of the knife, "Where''s the third child?" How is the third child doing? 』
The visitor seemed to pause for a moment, and then he quietly found a place on the other side of the broken wall that was not exposed to the rain, and sat down. A voice that seemed to be choking came, "The third child is dead." 』
??Guo You leaned against the wall and didn''t speak for a while.
In the dark night, the only sound was the patter of rain.
Yingchuan Guo family, when it first started, relied on the legal route. The Guo family specialized in criminal law and later became a prominent family in charge of the court''s judicial power for nearly two hundred years.
Now, the Guo family collapsed and collapsed. The reason turned out to be a series of changes caused by corruption among one of the Guo family members...
Guo Feng is dead.
??It wouldn''t matter if he simply died, but from his side, Guo Xi was involved. Guo Xi is older. Although he was a servant and a lieutenant in the past, it is well known that many of the three princes during the Han Ling Emperor''s period were scapegoats, and Guo Xi was no exception. He served as a lieutenant for less than a year. , and was dismissed again.
The deposed Taiwei is also a Taiwei or a former Taiwei.
?Before Jishang, the Guo family held a series of official positions such as prefect, Sili Xiaowei, Tingwei, etc. The Guo family was prosperous and prosperous in the land of Yingchuan. For a time, the scenery was unparalleled, even more magnificent than the Xun family. After all, at the time of the Xun clan, Xun Shuang was not an official, and Xun Yu had not yet emerged.
After that, when Guo Jia was still in a state of drunkenness and dreaming to others, Guo Tu had already come under Yuan Shao and made a bet.
The result failed.
Not only were they unable to get their capital back, but the dining table was overturned.
??Guo Tu moved to Guanzhong, but it was not as smooth as he imagined. Even if he is hungry, he will not die of hunger, but there is no way to support him. He came to the Yingchuan Guo family.
what to do?
Corruption is wrong, everyone knows this. But to support the expenses of a large family, to maintain the dignity of the Yingchuan Guo family, to welcome guests and send them off, and to hold banquets and outings, how could one not spend money? With that little salary, how can you afford a mobile phone worth more than 10,000 yuan? Uh, that''s wrong, it''s a sachet. How can you afford a banquet worth more than 100,000 yuan and a car worth 1,000,000 yuan?
?If you don’t make money yourself, how can you wait for Cao Cao to pay you?
So the Guo family, who were born in the judiciary and had law as their family tradition, began to think of ways to make money.
Making money is not shabby, right?
?Everyone needs to have a good meal, and they are not shabby, right?
Therefore, when the Guo family, like Guo Feng, the county magistrate and the county magistrate, the belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the fat is on the heads and faces of the people, the family traditions of the judicial family, etc. It was forgotten.
Does Guo Xi know about this problem? Know.
Do Guo You, Guo Hong and others under Guo Xi know about such shortcomings? Also know.
But they all pretended not to know.
After all, as long as they are peripheral characters who do bad things, they are all offshoots of the clan, and they are all bigger than anyone else, then the Guo family will still be clean and good people, just like the lotus flower, which can emerge from the mud without being stained and care for itself. Blooming on the surface of the water, no matter how dirty the roots in the underwater mud are.
Metaphysical? Or is it schizophrenia?
There are probably a few like this.
At first, Guo Feng was caught and then beheaded. Guo Xi, Guo You and others just felt a little unlucky. It was like wearing gorgeous clothes and then flaunting a horse. It was a bit embarrassing, but it was just the appearance of the clothes. Although it is dirty, the subject is still fine. The worst thing is to publicly apologize and issue a statement, saying that after Guo discovered the relevant situation, Guo communicated with the victims, apologized sincerely, and obtained the understanding of the victims. At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude to the victims during this process. I express my deepest condolences to those who unfortunately died among them!
Bow and apologize.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The matter should be over now, right?
The noble nobles lowered their heads, bent down and apologized. What else do they want?
Don’t be ignorant of good and evil!
?But Cao Cao still wants to cause trouble! He won’t give up and won’t give up!
?So Mr. Guo became angry. Didn''t you, Cao Cao, do anything wrong? Could it be said that the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family are not wrong at all? What''s the point of staring at Mr. Guo all the time? Didn’t you already apologize? What else do you want?
?What else? !
Since Cao Cao wants to cause trouble, let’s do it!
Aging makes people lose hope, anger makes people lose reason, and fear makes people lose self-cultivation. The old Guo Xi is aging, angry, and fearful at the same time. Naturally, he no longer has the so-called transparency and stability, and he claims to be two things. A hundred years of judicial inheritance, and there are many outside marriages. Some can wave the flag and shout, some can secretly plot, some can conspire, and some can instigate dissension. So what can a mere Cao Aha do? What are you going to fight with?
They claimed to have found Cao Cao''s weakness, the Qingzhou soldiers.
They forged a knife and found a man who wielded it.
They poked it out...
They encountered iron armor.
??If they had calculated mentally and unintentionally, they might still be able to fight, but what Guo Xi and others did not expect was that they fell into the trap from the beginning.
The subsequent defection of Kong Qian became a huge breakthrough.
?Kong Qian is a famous person, but not all famous people are as stubborn as Ni Heng.
?Hmm, he doesn’t have a strong **** either.
What are the specific criteria for celebrities? It may be difficult to define, but basically they all have several similar characteristics, such as being able to speak, being flattering, being specious, or confusing right and wrong, and then having a solid foundation. Shameless, if I say something wrong, I will immediately pretend as if nothing happened and it was an honest mistake...
Such a famous person can often be unfavorable when it comes to theory. When reasoning, he talks about emotions, and when talking about emotions, he is reasonable. No matter how he talks, he can win. It is a pity that he met Cao Cao, who is neither reasonable nor emotional. He pulled off his robe and was beaten randomly. It was only when the blood was dripping that he realized how powerful he was. When his skin and flesh were in pain, he could do anything.
?As a result, the Yingchuan Guo Family collapsed overnight!
??It also implicated many other people...
Across Yingchuan, countless people were dismissed from their posts, arrested, imprisoned, and beheaded!
?Cold rain, cold knives, and cold nights. Only by being in it can you feel the turbulent waves behind the night, and the countless undercurrents surging and accumulating.
?? Guo Xi was old and his movements were inevitably slow. The cavalry captured by Cao Jun came quickly, so Guo Xi and others had to stop halfway and took shelter in the manor of the other surname of the Guo family.
??However, just like Kong Qian betrayed the Guo family, the trees fell and the hozens scattered, and the other surnames also betrayed the Guo family and became the leader!
In panic, Guo Xi and others blocked the front, while Guo You and others ran away.
The elderly face death head-on, because the elderly have seen death long ago and know that death will be their end, but Guo You and others are not. They are still young and have children, so they should still have a future.
Grief, fear, struggling to survive.
Guo You and others finally tasted the bitter fruit they had borne.
?Like a dog with a broken leg, staggering away.
During the escape, Guo You and others found some people, but some people also died. The losses far exceeded the replacements...
?That night they went to find a ranger leader named Zhang who was under the Guo family before, but they were betrayed and ambushed again.
Then the third child died.
Guo You had no tears. He didn''t know whether it was because Guo You was injured and he no longer had the energy to grieve, or because his tears had dried up the last time Guo Xi covered their escape.
The family is broken up and the wife is separated.
?These things that they originally thought would only happen to those ignorant and incompetent untouchables, now they have tasted it...
But they did not have any regret or guilt, only endless anger and resentment.? ? ? Cao thief!
The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!
?Well, that’s right, now they don’t talk about reason, they talk about emotions.
In any case, the three brothers of the Guo family who managed to escape lost one of them on the way, and now only Guo You and Guo Hong are left.
??Guo You was still injured. After being silent for a while, he said, "How many people do you think are still standing on our side?" 』
“…” In the darkness, Guo Hong seemed to have slapped his nose, and said hoarsely, “I don’t know… Nowadays, we are so afraid of Cao thieves, I’m afraid there aren’t many people left…”
The night was dark and cold, making it difficult to see the way forward.
??Guo You held the knife, the handle was cold, "Then... we can only go to one place..."
『Guanzhong? ” Guo Hong said. After all, there is a Guo Tu in Guanzhong who can provide some assistance and arrangements.
??Guo You sighed, "It would be best to go to Guanzhong, but... the Cao thieves are probably on guard..."
Halfway through the words, there was a burst of movement in the dark night. The sound came from far to near, with the faint sound of gold and iron rubbing and colliding. The two people suddenly changed their expressions, and they turned over and lay down beside the remaining wall in unison. Peep outside.
?Amidst the chaotic noise, it seemed that a group of soldiers came from a distance. Then they did not come towards the abandoned Zhuangzi, but continued along the road, seemingly heading towards Yangcheng.
?And Yangcheng was blocking them in front.
"I''m going to take a look..." Guo You stood up and prepared to go and check it out.
『I’d better go, you’re injured...』
Guo Hong grabbed Guo You, then turned over and went out, found a place with a slightly higher ground, looked around in the rain and fog, and made sure that only the Cao soldiers of that group were running over, and there were no others, then he put down Heart comes.
There were other people arrested in Yingchuan, not just the Guo family.
?This group of soldiers should not be coming towards them, but it also means that the surrounding area is no longer safe, and soldiers may come to hunt them down at any time.
『We have to go... We will leave at dawn...』
Where to go? 』
“…” Guo You was silent for a long time, and finally said, “Now we can only go to Jiangdong…”
…/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~…
The night is deep.
After the light, there is darkness, and those in the darkness are looking forward to the next light.
Some people die, and death represents the end of one thing, but the death of some people brings the beginning of something else.
?The night in Jiangdong is not heavy, it has been like this for thousands of years, but the people in Jiangdong make the night heavier and even more overwhelming.
Since Sun Lang’s uprising in Wu County, Jiangdong, countless pairs of eyes have been staring at him.
?These things, both openly and covertly, finally exposed some of the secrets that Sun Quan had tried to hide...
The fast horses running back and forth on the official road conveyed the news to every corner. These fast horses will not become a force on the battlefield in Jiangdong, but they will become a help for the children of Jiangdong''s noble clan. It is not used to convey the message of life and death on the battlefield, but it is used to convey the little ninety-nine under the belly of the people in Jiangdong.
?Sun Hao received the latest news in the middle of the night.
?He put on a coat and hurried to the meeting hall.
『The troops of Wu County have stopped fighting... Mr. Lang committed suicide... Old lady, huh? Old lady! 』
?Sun Hao''s hand shook.
?The cold wind outside the door blew in, lifting his robes, making him tremble all over, and he suddenly felt the urge to urinate.
Forget it, now is not the time to change clothes.
Sun Hao checked with the men who delivered the message again, and then waved his men to leave. Then he wrapped his robe tightly, and his hands and feet were shaking slightly. He didn''t know whether it was because of the cold, excitement, or some other reason.
?Although it was still dark, Sun Hao felt as if dawn was coming.
"Father..." Sun Gong''s voice rang outside the hall, "Have you heard the news about Wu Jun?" 』
?Sun Hao nodded, and then asked him to come in and sit down.
?After pondering for a while, Sun Hao handed the information in his hand to Sun Gong and said, "Look for yourself." 』
Sun Gong turned on the light and looked at it. Suddenly his hand trembled, "This!" Madam..."
For a moment, there seemed to be an indescribable atmosphere flowing in the hall.
Sun Hao pinched his beard and said, "Speaking of it, it was really a fight... it was tragic... It''s just a pity, it''s a pity that it was just a little bit worse, it''s a pity..."
Since Governor Zhou is here, of course we can’t fight anymore. ” Sun Gong said.
Sun Hao nodded, and then continued, "Jiang Dong doesn''t like to fight, at least he doesn''t like to fight all the time... Remember, this is very important... Look at this Governor Zhou, isn''t he just here?" 』
?Sun Hao also tried to take action directly before, but later, he was stopped by Yu Fan.
?This incident left a deep impression on Sun Hao, and now Sun Hao felt that the time had finally come.
Old Madam Wu is dead! Although Sun Quan was desperately trying to cover up, trying to delay, and even some time ago he was constantly clearing out all the informants in the Sun family, but in Jiangdong, under the current situation, there is nothing that Sun Quan can hide , can it be closed?
The news was revealed brazenly...
Hahahaha, this old woman is finally dead!
??If it is an ordinary person, death is death, but Mrs. Wu is like the Queen Mother of Jiangdong, and now this "Queen Mother", hey, dead!
It seems that something lying in the front has been eliminated now!
?Sun Hao suddenly seemed to see the dawn in the dark night!
Since Sun Ce’s death can lead to brother-in-law’s death, why can’t Sun Jian’s brother Sun Jing do so? Or is it that Sun Hao himself is not qualified to be a "brother who dies"?
"Haha... what a good death..." Sun Hao couldn''t help laughing when he thought of this. After laughing twice, he suddenly felt that it was not very appropriate, so he grunted and suppressed the sarcastic sentence behind, He coughed twice, "No, what I mean is...well... Jiangdong is in chaos now, and I feel very uneasy..."
"What does your father mean..." Sun Gong asked, "take this opportunity..."
Sun Hao shook his head, "Don''t you understand yet?" You can''t do it forcefully... It was like this before, and it will definitely be like this in the future. Koto, this is what these people are like... As soon as we send out troops, we are the ones who are at fault... So we can''t move... Yes, we can''t move..."
Can’t move? Sun Gong''s eyes widened in surprise, "Isn''t that...a missed opportunity?" 』
Sun Hao finally couldn''t help it and laughed loudly, "How could it be?" This is just the beginning! 』
?When the parents are still alive, there is still a unified place of origin. When the parents are no longer there, there are still different ways to return.
When Mrs. Wu was alive, she could be said to be the hub that supported the entire Sun family, protecting Sun Quan, a fool who jumped up and down, from harm. But now that Sun Lang is dead, Mrs. Wu also died of a serious illness. To put it nicely, it is called Everyone has his own destiny, and the time limit has come, and human power cannot save it, but to put it mildly, this is Sun Quan''s rebellion! Kill your brother and kill your mother!
?As the lord of Jiangdong, there are many things that are destined to be magnified and viewed by other people. Sun Quan, who was unable to realize this problem, ended up in a big mess.
??Some things are done by ordinary people, and if something goes wrong, it won''t involve much, it will only involve a few families at most. But the master of Jiangdong is different. If the idiot fools around, the entire Jiangdong will be affected!
"We can''t move now... we can''t move..." Sun Hao thought again, and then said slowly, "We moved first, it''s our fault, but if...hehe..."
?From tomorrow, no, from now on, I will let your story of Sun Quan "killing his brother and killing his mother" spread throughout Jiangdong!
Sun Hao smiled, smiled, and finally stopped smiling, and then opened his triangular eyes, "When the time comes, I want to see how this "Lord of Jiangdong" can continue to stay in that position." ! 』
