Unfilial Sons in Ancient Times (1)

Chapter 42

Ji Changze had been lying patiently on the ground waiting for his strength to return. Then when one of the people walked past him, he suddenly started doing it.

Xiao Bing, who was mumbling something about how kind-hearted he was, was startled and jumped back as he howled miserably.

Seeing Ji Changze looking at him with blood on his face, he howled and screamed again, his knees weakened and he knelt on the ground.

"Grandpa Ghost, there are a lot of you, don't worry about the little ones. We just want to help you collect the corpses. We don't want to do anything else. Please, please let me go. I have an old one and a young one. I will be caught." I haven’t killed anyone in this war for so long, I haven’t even seen my parents at home for three years, and my wife is still eight months pregnant..."

Ji Changze listened patiently to what he said, and then asked: "You haven't been home for three years, and your wife is eight months pregnant?"

Xiaobing: "..."

He choked violently and started to cry without daring to raise his head: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's my fault. I lied to you. My wife is not pregnant."

Ji Changze looked at the soldier who was still standing next to him. When the soldier saw him looking over with blood on his face, his legs were shaking with fear, and he quickly knelt down: "Sir, sir, we are just greedy for money. We are not the ones who killed you. ”

Seeing the two of them crying hard, Ji Changze stood up slowly and patted the dirt on his body: "Okay, okay, don't worry, I know it's not you who are sha're:n."

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could finish breathing, they heard another sentence from the dead man whose face was covered in blood, who didn't know if he crawled out of the underworld; "You are just touching us here and there, it's disrespectful." Just the dead."

Two soldiers: "..."

They were almost pissed.

"We, we, we just want to bury you and see if there are any wounds on your body. We really don't mean that, Grandpa Ghost."

--Ding!

Several copper plates fell down as they knelt down, hitting the rocks with a crisp sound.

Ji Changze looked at the few copper plates.

Soldiers: "...Okay, you can explain that we picked up these copper coins."

"Then since it doesn't belong to you, can you give it to me?"

"Okay, okay, I'll give them all to you, and I'll give you mine too."

As if they had received an amnesty, the two of them quickly took out the money from their arms and carefully placed it all on the ground in front of them.

Ji Changze stepped forward, stretched out his hand, picked them all up, put them into his arms, and asked, "Tell me, whose soldiers are you?"

"We, we are under the command of General Hou."

General Hou.

Before he checked his memory, Ji Changze didn't know what General Hou was doing, but he didn't scratch his head at all and continued following what the two people just said.

"Do you know where those rebels went?"

The two of them thought he was planning to seek revenge against the rebels, so they were overjoyed and quickly told everything they knew.

"The rebels killed someone and then went to the northwest. They seemed to have brought a group of slaves with them. They probably planned to sell them to the northwest. Grandpa Ghost, you should remember that it was the rebels who killed you, right?"

Ji Changze said nothing and only looked at the clothes on his body.

He stood up and took a look. This small village was right next to the river. He opened his sleeves and saw dirty arms underneath that had not been bathed for who knows how long. On the contrary, the clothes on his body were, except for the blood stains and dust on the ground, even The corners and crevices of clothes were washed clean.

If the body is dirty, the original owner must not like to be clean.

If the clothes are clean, it means someone has washed them for him.

This body had lived with people not long ago, but he hadn't checked the memory yet, and he couldn't be sure whether his relatives were among these corpses or what.

Ji Changze stretched out his hand and knocked the two kneeling people on the head.

"You guys wait for me here. I'll go in and take a look. I'll be out in a minute."

The two of them were overjoyed and were extremely happy to see the bloody shoes leave.

They are not stupid, so who can wait for it?

Waiting for the ghost to leave, they immediately turned around and ran away.

When the time came, I went to the military camp. There were soldiers and generals there, and the yang energy was so strong that this ghost probably wouldn't dare to come.

Just as they looked at each other and were about to run away, the cold voice of a dead man with blood on his face came from behind: "If you run away, I will chase you."

Two people: "..."

Ohh Ohh ohh.

Ji Changze chose this house because he saw the same fabric as the clothes he was wearing on the yard rope. He speculated that this house should be the house where the original owner lived.

Sure enough, after entering, I checked my memory and confirmed this.

This is where the original owner lived.

But strictly speaking, the house didn't belong to him, but to his wife.

The original owner's home is not here either.

He was originally the eldest son in a small village in Hu County, and there were no contraceptive measures in this era. After that, he didn't know why his parents never had children. Later, when he was fourteen years old, his mother suddenly became pregnant, and then began a series of birth control pills. He gave birth to younger brothers and sisters.

If you are pregnant with a child, you can't abort it. If you have it, you can only give birth to it.

The original owner didn't have any objections to his parents having a younger sister. The girl's films could be sold for money, whether they were sold to brothels or to some families as child brides, but they had a strong objection to those younger brothers.

He has three brothers and two sisters.

Sisters can be exchanged for money, so I won’t mention it for now, but brothers will marry wives when they grow up. To marry a wife, the family must pay, and the money provided by the family represents the complete share that originally belonged to him. The money will now be divided among the three younger brothers.

The original owner was definitely not happy. After much thought, he came up with a good idea.

That is to study by yourself.

Now everyone is not married yet, and the brothers are still young. If he wants to go to school, his parents will definitely agree. In addition to paying for school, he will need a lot of money. When he goes to the county and asks for money from his family, won't the money be enough? Did you get every bit of it here?

The original owner got his wish and went to school. Every time he came home, he tried every means to get money from his parents.

Every time I say, "Take this money and give it to your husband. When I finish my studies, I can work as a bookkeeper and make a lot of money." He is the eldest son, and his parents have high hopes for him. So he handed over the family's money to him again and again.

The original owner originally wanted to keep the money and spend it when he got a wife, but he didn't study seriously in the county town and learned to gamble instead.

All the money given by his parents was spent, so he could only continue to ask for it.

Two relatively healthy old men had to physically collapse their bodies in order to make money for him.

First, my father fell down, and then my mother followed suit. The doctor said that I could only take good medicine and take good care of myself.

In an ordinary farmer's family, the younger brothers and sisters are still young, which means that the original family has to support two elderly people plus the younger brothers and sisters.

Of course he was not happy with his selfish nature, so he asked the doctor if he could cure it directly. The doctor said that if he wanted to completely remove the root, he could only see if there were any famous doctors, but the consultation fees of famous doctors were not low.

The original owner originally wanted this sentence from him, but he didn't care about what happened next. He coaxed his parents into asking a famous doctor, and then Ma Liu took away all the family's money and left his parents, younger brothers and sisters.

My parents are too sick to get out of bed and need medicine to prolong their lives.

The brothers and sisters were still young, the eldest was seven years old when the original owner passed away.

At that time, there was a war, and it was hard to make money and buy food. You can imagine how these younger brothers and sisters would live after the original owner, the only able-bodied and adult son, left the family and took away all the silver.

The original owner knew clearly, but he simply ignored it and brought

I decided to change my life to save money.

Nowadays, there are people fleeing from famine everywhere. He just needs to blend in and choose a city to enter. Anyway, the household registration is all messed up now, so it is not easy to change his name.

Who knew it would be so unlucky? The robbers came halfway.

All the money he had on him was taken away.

At this moment, he, the fake disaster victim, suddenly became a real disaster victim.

Half-dead from hunger, he fainted on the roadside and was rescued by a girl. The original owner opened his eyes and saw that the girl was good-looking, Shui Lingling, and of the right age, so he immediately started thinking about it.

In addition, the girl is a native of this village, and he has no money now. If he wants to settle down in the village, the best way is to find a girl in the village to get married.

After his inquiring, he found out that the girl's parents were gone, and she was the only one left. Although she disliked her a little and seemed to be a tough person, she didn't have enough to eat and didn't care about it anymore.

So the original owner tried his best to act like a scholar he had learned when he was in the county town, being polite and gentle.

A set of rhetoric was made up.

He said that he was from Hu County. He was studying hard at first. Unexpectedly, his parents suddenly fell ill. He had to go out to find a famous doctor. As a result, he met a robber and lost all his money. His parents lost the chance to treat the disease. I am afraid that now It's already difficult.

He described himself as aggrieved and pitiful, filial and at the same time full of the elegance of a scholar.

The girl was in love, and the original owner was very proactive, so the marriage between the two was completed.

The original owner had a good idea.

This girl has no other relatives in her family, so after he gets married to her, even if he falls out or beats or scolds her, there will be no one to support her.

The husband teaches his wife who will meddle in other people's business.

Because everything is in chaos now and both parents are away, the marriage is kept simple.

Unexpectedly, just three days after the two got married, a wave of rebels rushed into the village in panic, pursued by the court.

The rebels always acted harshly. In order to prevent the villagers here from telling where they were going, they killed all the men and elderly people in the village. The remaining women and children were taken to the northwest with the intention of selling them as slaves in exchange for food.

The way they brought people was to tie them up and throw them in the car. As for the difficult journey, cold and lack of food and clothing along the way, they didn't care whether these people would die.

If it's dead, it's dead, just throw it away and keep walking.

The original owner was always greedy for life and afraid of death. When the rebels came, he was hiding under a tree and was lazing around. He started killing everyone and saw one of the rebels dragging his wife and moving forward.

Normally, when a man sees his wife being robbed, he will immediately rush forward and protect her with all his strength.

However, the original owner was so frightened that his legs weakened. He quickly found a corpse, wiped the blood from the corpse on his body and face, and then neatly lay down on the corpse and pretended to be dead.

The human survival instinct is powerful.

After lying in the corpse for so long, I also heard the miserable howls of people and the cries of women and children. Then the cavalry and the car passed by, and everything became quiet.

When the original owner was about to get up, the imperial army also came after him.

The military camp was set up nearby, but the people around were killed by the rebels. General Hou was furious and immediately led his men to chase them. The remaining soldiers returned to the military camp, except for the two soldiers. Seeing so many people die here, they thought that the rebels would not have time to steal their property in a hurry to kill them, so they quietly slipped over to make a fortune from the dead.

Originally, the original owner stood up when they touched him, and saw that the two people were frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy. The two people saw that he was a living person and immediately became bolder. After scolding him, they planned to return to the military camp.

The original owner was scared because of this incident.

He was just being lazy, and suddenly a bunch of people fell from the sky and slaughtered the whole village. Even if he was lucky enough to pretend to be a corpse and survive today, what if he found another village in the future and was slaughtered by the rebels again.

After thinking about it, it was more friendly to hug the big leg.

So he begged the two people hard, begging them to take him to the military camp together.

The two soldiers were not tough people, otherwise they would not have helped these people collect the bodies after they had touched their property. Seeing the original owner begging, and thinking that the gentleman in charge of accounting in the barracks had died, they tried to take the original owner back.

There was a lack of an accountant, and after hearing the original owner say that he was a scholar, they agreed to let him be in charge of the accounts.

Anyway, if he didn't obey, he could just be killed.

The original owner successfully sneaked into the barracks and started his evolution step by step.

He first established a good relationship with the two soldiers, and then took advantage of their good relationship to produce evidence that the two were spies of the rebels, and then "killed relatives for the greater good" to report the two.

After the two were beheaded, he was rewarded as a meritorious person, and his position was promoted one step further.

The original owner became more and more proud, and from then on he started his "meritorious" path. He gradually learned to be versatile, and successfully hugged the golden leg of the second prince sent by the court to supervise the army.

General Hou is the emperor's man, but his sister is the biological mother of the third prince. The second prince wants to fight for the throne, and General Hou, a general who has made many contributions, is his obstacle.

So the original owner, under the suggestion of the second prince, slandered General Hou for collaborating with the enemy.

He is a small figure, of course, it is impossible to trip General Hou, but he has the second prince.

After Hou Jiangjun was dealt with for treason.

The original owner smoothly joined the second prince.

Because he was very good at flattering, his position was quite good. After the rebels were defeated, the northwest was taken. At that time, the original owner, who already had many concubines, was ordered to act.

As a result, he ran into the girl at the beginning.

The girl who was robbed three days after marrying him was sold to a wealthy family in the northwest as a slave. As a result, she found out that she was pregnant as soon as she entered the mansion.

The girl thought that her husband had passed away, and this child was her husband's only blood in this world. She could have aborted the child, and maybe she could get married again after doing a good job in the mansion.

But in the end, she couldn't bear to let go, and chose to keep the child.

Because she was pregnant, she naturally could not be assigned to do easy work with the young lady as before, but was assigned to wash clothes.

Whether it is summer or autumn, washing clothes is not an easy job.

The girl endured it and gave birth to the child. It happened that the eldest young lady in the mansion was also looking for a wet nurse. Her horoscope matched, and she was a servant in the mansion. Moreover, because she had no husband, the eldest young lady pitied her and chose her as a wet nurse.

After that, she stayed with the eldest young lady as a nanny, and the child also became the book boy of the young master in the mansion.

The original owner, everything was fine.

Although she was still a servant, the eldest young lady was very kind to her and promised to let them go after two years. Her son was very smart and might be able to pass the imperial examination in the future.

But at this time, the original owner came.

The original owner was someone around the second prince, and the family that came to receive him was the family of the girl as a servant, and the two met by chance.

The girl was surprised at first, and then she was happy.

But the original owner looked at his wife, who had gone through many hardships in the past few years and was no longer as innocent and beautiful as he remembered, but he was not happy at all.

He was now wealthy, with the support of the second prince, and a lot of concubines in the mansion. The second prince also promised to find him a daughter of a minor official as his wife.

Everything was fine. If there was suddenly an extra wife and a son at this time, wouldn't it be ruined?

Besides, the two separated three days after their marriage.

His wife was very iconic. Who could guarantee that the rebels had not done anything to her? It was not certain whether the child was his.

He was full of rejection in his heart, but the girl was full of joy.

After thinking about it, the original owner pretended to be very happy. He comforted her first and asked her not to tell anyone about this matter after she returned, and waited for him to arrange it and quietly take her away.

After all, he was now a guest of the second prince. If his wife worked as a servant in someone else's house, it would not sound good.

The girl believed it. After returning, she sat in the house happily holding her son and told him that his father, her husband, came to find them.

On the second day, the eldest young lady received the news that two people had hanged themselves.

The original owner quietly left the place after finishing his business. No matter how the eldest young lady investigated, she could not find out that it was him.

This matter had been hidden for more than ten years before it was revealed.

At that time, the emperor was still alive and the princes were still fighting. A young man passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. Then he exposed the original owner's unfilial behavior and the killing of his wife and children in court.

He was the youngest brother of the original owner. After the original owner left, the second brother in the family always held on and kept his parents for five years. Later, the second brother went to the mountain to collect herbs in person to save some money for medicine. He was only twelve years old before his death.

After the second brother left, the three supported the family. After the parents died, he raised his younger brothers and sisters alone. He became a hunter at a young age. He finally supported his youngest brother to pass the imperial examination.

He was bitten to death by a tiger.

The remaining two sisters were still around, but one of them was taken away by the original owner's men. Later, the sister hit her head and died. It was still the original owner who cleaned up the mess.

At that time, he was already a juren, and hated the original owner for this. He turned to the eldest prince and started to investigate. After the investigation, he found out that the person who killed his sister was actually the eldest brother who abandoned their family, took all the money and let them die.

And this eldest brother has done a lot of harming things in his life.

He passed the imperial examination and risked fame to expose the crimes of the original owner.

After the original owner was sentenced to death, this younger brother was beaten with twenty boards because he reported his brother. The second prince hated him so much that he cut off his own claws and directly bribed the doctor to let him "die of cold".

Ji Changze had only one thought after reading it.

The original owner also thought that his wife was unlucky.

He himself was so powerful.

He had only one youngest sister left among his parents, brothers and sisters. He asked his wife and son to be killed by him. Even his master, the second prince, was finally disliked by the emperor because of this.

He was really shameless.

Ji Changze walked around the room before going out.

The two soldiers outside were so scared that they didn't move at all, fearing that the ghost grandpa would chase them if they moved.

Originally, it was the original owner who knelt on the ground and begged them for a long time before they reluctantly agreed to take the original owner to the military camp.

Ji Changze calculated how many days he could walk at present.

Sure enough, it was still the fastest to go to the military camp.

He walked forward and said to the two people: "You get up, I'm not a ghost, I'm a human."

Neither of them dared to move.

Ji Changze: "Do you want me to kill you and turn you into ghosts and then see if I'm a human?"

The two motionless people jumped up: "We believe it, we believe it!!"

After getting up, they took a closer look and saw that the person in front of them was indeed clear-eyed, and he didn't look like a dead person. The pale face on his face was slowly getting better.

That's not right!

They are soldiers, he is a civilian, he should be afraid of them!

The two were just about to show off their power when they heard the man in front of them, whose face was covered in blood and whose face could not be seen clearly, ask them: "You are soldiers of Hou Jiangjun after all. How come you are so poor that you even want to steal money from the dead? Don't you have military merits after joining the army?"

"Military merits can only be obtained by killing people. After we joined the army, we have not been to the battlefield. Even if we went to the battlefield, we, the insignificant soldiers, would be the first to die."

One of the soldiers looked at Ji Changze hesitantly and asked again: "Are you really a human?"

"Yes, I am a human."

Ji Changze reached out and held his hand: "Look, it's warm, right?"

Oh my god!

The soldier was relieved, and then became angry: "Why didn't you say it just now?!"

"You didn't ask me."

Ji Changze smiled and had a good attitude: "You saved me, don't worry, I will repay you."

The soldier didn't believe it: "Just you?"

"I am a scholar after all, and I can help you with some ideas so that you can get some military merits. Then you won't have to stand in the front and die the fastest. You don't have to believe it."

The soldiers hesitated for a while, but they still thought that they would take advantage of it and asked: "What can I do? You tell me."

After a minute, they looked at each other: "We will find whoever is needed in the barracks. The barracks are short of an accountant, but where can we find people who can read and write in this desolate mountain and wilderness..."

He gradually faded away and looked at Ji Changze steadily.

"You just said you are a scholar, right?"

Ji Changze looked at the sky: "I don't want to go to the military camp."

"Oh, the military camp is great, there is food and clothes, and it's safe to follow."

"No, no, I am a scholar, I won't go to such a place."

"You are asked to be an accountant, not to join the army."

"Then how did your accountant die?"

"Come on, come on, brothers, let's talk while walking."

"Hey, what are you doing, I don't want to go, don't pull me."

So, Ji Changze was "unwillingly" begged and coaxed to go to the military camp.

Hey, it's not that he wants to be an accountant.

It's really that these two people are eager to recruit talents. ,,
