Chapter 114 Interpretation
After suffering from the government on weekdays, Fugui has no favoritism for the people in the government.
Fugui didn't expect that the person who heard about it as a joke yesterday appeared in his life today and couldn't wait to squeeze their food.
The yamen runner suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Are you changing the topic? Why don't you come here again with a bag of food! I'll smash your house with a broken copper jar if you don't get enough money."
Unable to do so, Fugui had to signal his wife to come over with another bag of food.
Fugui's wife reluctantly went to the cellar to get another bag.
The yamen runner snatched it with a smile, and said, "This is the only thing that's right!"
The yamen runners led their subordinates away with satisfaction. Soon, similar sounds sounded from the neighbor's house, and the crying and begging of the elderly man from time to time.
Fugui fell into deep thought as he heard the riots coming from outside.
Fugui's mother was still sitting on the kang wiping her tears, while her father sat on the threshold and smoked water in a deep breath.
Fugui's wife held the scared child and kept coaxing her, and walked to Fugui's corner of her clothes beside him: "Boy's father, those beasts took away our food for half a year. We don't have much food to store, so how can we live this life!"
Fugui came back to his senses and listened carefully to the noise coming from outside the house. The yamen runners were robbing food everywhere.
Fugui looked at the child's little face, which was still tear-stained, hugged his wife, and made a secret decision in his heart.
Fugui's wife leaned her head in her husband's arms and heard a voice coming from her head: "Don't worry. I'll have a solution."
In the afternoon of the same day, soldiers came to Dongfang Ming’s army camp to report to Dongfang Ming: “General! There is a resident from a county town outside the camp, saying that he wanted to join the army.”
Dongfang Ming said in surprise: "Oh? Bring it in and have a look."
Dongfang Ming did not recruit soldiers in the county town, so how could anyone come to join the army at this time? Did he know yesterday that he was here to conquer the Turks, so he also wanted to help the country?
The soldier brought a simple-looking man into Dongfang Ming's tent.
The man was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, dark skin and strong body, and looked like a farmer who was doing farm work under the sun for a long time.
Dongfang Ming used to ask the identity of the visitor first, "What is your name? What is your identity? Where did it come from?"
The man also replied honestly: "The villain is called Fugui, he is an ordinary farmer. He is from this county."
This person is Fugui. It turned out that he was angry that the yamen runners in the government had scrupulously seized their food.
On weekdays, they just made up some names to collect money and taxes, but they would still leave enough food and they would still have a little bit of life.
This time, the county has collected grain on a large scale, and government runners knocked on doors to collect them. Regardless of whether the population is disabled or not, the county magistrate has to pay the requirement of 100 kilograms of grain per household in each household.
One hundred kilograms of grain, a family of five in Fugui can save food and save money and can only eat for three months.
The grain that had been in the last six months was taken away by the yamen runners, and the food that had been stored for the winter was gone, and the family of five was about to starve to death.
In addition, the yamen runners accidentally revealed the reason for the grain collection and the identity of the person who ordered the grain collection this time.
Fugui made up his mind and thought that he would just sacrifice his life to kill the dog official. If a person dies, he will naturally not need to collect food.
So Fugui shook the knife for a night without telling his family, sharpened the blade and put it in his arms and left the city.
Dongfang Ming's army was huge, and it was stationed ten miles outside the city, with tents connected in a large area, which was very easy to find.
Fugui looked around and inquired. When he walked outside the camp, he was stopped by the patrol soldiers and said that he should not get close to him if he had nothing to do.
Fugui had a sudden inspiration and said that he was coming to join the army, so he asked the patrol soldiers to inform the general on his behalf.
Sure enough, he was brought to Dongfangming.
Dongfang Ming asked curiously: "I heard you want to join the army? Shouldn't it be the busy farming season now? Why do you want to join the army?"
"Because there is no food at home, I heard that the army is well treated and I want to find a way out for joining the army." Fugui replied in a deep voice.
"It's early summer now, and the harvest has not been long since left spring. Shouldn't you store enough food? Why is there no food? Is it because a disaster has caused a bad harvest?" Dongfang Ming asked with concern.
"Because, because..." Fugui seemed to be a little choked, "because" he didn't say anything after saying it several times.
"Why?" Dongfang Ming asked.
"Because of you dog officials!" Fugui suddenly took out a knife from his chest, with a sharp edge and slashed straight towards Dongfang Ming.
When it was lightning, Dongfang Ming had only had time to see a flash of sword light.
Dongfang Ming's body reacted subconsciously and quickly rolled to the side, barely avoiding Fugui's attack.
"What are you doing! Are you crazy?" Dongfang Ming didn't understand why Fugui suddenly suddenly rose up and wanted to assassinate him.
"What are you doing? If you dog officials hadn't bullied us too much and used the name of collecting grain to steal our food, how could we have no food to spend the winter?" Fugui shouted indignantly, slashing at Dongfang Ming like he lost his mind.
Dongfang Ming was confused and couldn't understand what Fugui meant. But it sounded like Fugui's assassination was another hidden story.
The most urgent task is to capture Fugui first and ask what is going on.
Dongfang Ming kept dodging and avoiding Fugui's unruly attack.
Seeing Fugui revealing a gap, he slapped the man's wrist.
Fugui's wrist pain was severe and his hands couldn't bear it. The sharp knife just took off his hand and slashed straight into Dongfang Ming's table.
Fugui has no threat from weapons, so Dongfang Ming is not afraid that he will accidentally hurt people.
Losing his weapons, Fugui is just an ordinary farmer, so he is naturally not Dongfang Ming's opponent. Dongfang Ming defeated Fugui to the ground.
Fugui struggled hard, as if he wanted to turn over and attack Dongfang Ming.
Dongfang Ming directly pinned his hand behind him.
After a while, Fugui finally lost his strength and fell to the ground completely.
Dongfang Ming then spoke: "Say! I have never met you, why did you kill me? Also, explain clearly what I meant to steal your food?"
"If it weren't for you, the dog official, who instructed the county magistrate to collect grain. How could he order those beasts to steal our food?" Fugui accused Dongfang Ming angrily.
Dongfang Ming felt inexplicably, "Are you crazy? Why do I rob your food?" He never ordered the robbery of the people, what was the misunderstanding that this caused.
"Who knows you greedy borers! You don't have to worry about food or clothing, but you always want to steal things from the hands of the people!" Fugui cursed Dongfang Ming loudly, "Anyway, you have stolen all my food now! My family is going to starve to death! I just want to die and take you, the dog official, with you! It's also considered to be a good example!"
"Fugui! Be calm down! Listen to me, who gave the order to collect the people's food?"
Dongfang Ming didn't know anything when he looked at him, and he was scolded by Fugui after covering his head, which was also very helpless.
"Of course it was the order issued by the county magistrate! The yamen runner who came to my house to collect grain said that it was because you forced the county magistrate to collect grain!"
"Nonsense! I have never asked the county magistrate to collect grain from you, and I have told him not to recruit food from the people! I have asked him to recruit food from those gentry and wealthy merchants!"
Dongfang Ming knew who was messing around when he heard this. It seemed that it was the county magistrate who was lying to disobey.
