The county town of Zheng County is not big or small. It usually has more than 10,000 households and more than 60,000 people. Because it is close to Chang'an, there are many wealthy households. It was originally a very wealthy county town, but because of the wars that caused many disasters in the past two years, the Green Forest Army and the Red Eyebrow Army had a lot of damage to the city when they passed through, so this prosperous county town was also dilapidated.

Shenjing Lane in the south of the city was originally a place where wealthy families gathered, and there were many rich houses, but now it was extremely depressed. There were few pedestrians on the streets, and every family closed their doors, and occasionally someone passed by, and most of them were Red Eyebrow soldiers.

Suddenly, a noise broke the silence, and the neighing of cows and horses added some vitality to the dead street market.

There were countless cattle and horses running over from afar. The young man in rags rode on the back of Guangguang's horse, whipped his whip and shouted loudly, and turned around while running, urging his companions behind him.

After more than a dozen horses, there was an extremely bright carriage with red paint and snow-white horses. A young man in red stood with a carriage. His red hat was blown by the wind, his black face was shining red, and his head to toe was dazzling.

He pointed at the front with one hand and shouted excitedly: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Go to the rich families, smash, rob, and take away all the valuables! I will take you to fight against the rich, fight against the landlords, and divide gold and silver!"

Around him, the half-grown boys shouted happily, each with excitement on his face. Only the two eunuchs behind the car chased and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty slow down!"

The bull head beats his chest and stamps his feet, and cries: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the lord of a country. How can you go out to rob? What kind of morality is that? Your Majesty! Your Majesty cannot be a foolish monarch!"

Liu Penzi laughed, "Haha, the foolish lord! I will be the foolish lord!"

Several yellow oxen ran at the end, and the boy on the cow's back was so bumped that he could hardly sit still. They all lay on the cow's back, hugged the cow's neck with both hands, and a shepherd boy was thrown off the cow's back and immediately cried: "Your Majesty, wait for me, I want to fight against the landlord!"

The carriage rushed into the alley. The road was narrow and it was inconvenient to walk. Liu Penzi jumped out of the car and pointed to the big door of a purse lacquered house next to him and said, "Smash it open and rush in!"

There are more or less violent factors in human nature, not to mention that teenagers in unstable adolescence, teenagers do heavy labor every day, and can only watch their predecessors rampant among the people. Now they finally wait for an opportunity to release and vent, and immediately show strong destructive power.

They screamed, "Siege the city! Siege!" and rushed forward together. The fat and strong Wang Meng took the lead and used his body to break open the empty door. There was no imagined door panel breaking, but only the man who had lost all his strength to turn over.

The emperor was too lazy to pay attention to these pig teammates, so he shook his clothes and walked forward. He walked into the gate surrounded by the teenagers. The group was full of momentum and murderous aura, full of trying to do something big, but after walking for a long time, he broke through countless houses, but he didn't see a single figure.

Why is there no one in such a big house? Could it be that they were all scared away by the heavens of His Majesty the Emperor of Han?

I almost walked through this huge house and saw a living person in a small side courtyard.

The scene in front of us was beyond everyone's expectations. The owners of the house were not panicked because someone broke in, nor did they run away in scatters and no one cursed, cried or begged for mercy.

Men and women gathered in this small yard, each holding a big bowl, standing, squatting or sitting, and drinking porridge together. They drank so seriously that even someone broke in, but suddenly everyone accelerated their speed.

Except for the sound of drinking porridge and smacking lips, no one talks or shouts. It is quiet, terriblely quiet.

The strange scene in front of him made the boys feel a little confused, and the enthusiasm for plundering and destruction was removed at once.

A gray-haired old man suddenly raised his neck and poured all the porridge in the bowl into his mouth, so that his whole mouth was swelling. The old man stared at him and tried hard to swallow the food, but he couldn't help but spit it on the ground with a "pop".

"I'm burning to death!" He said angrily, looking at the porridge that had penetrated into the ground with only a trace of traces, shook his head and said, "What a pity, what a pity."

The old man raised his head and said angrily: "You...rebels, won't you come later? Can't you let someone drink a bowl of porridge well? Drinking more bowls of porridge will not make you rob the money!"

It turned out that he knew we were here to grab the money! The young men suddenly regained their vitality, and Wang Meng shouted: "Yes, we are here to grab... No, we are not robbers, this is His Majesty the Emperor of Han, Your Majesty is here, you should... be happy, yes, you should be happy, hurry up, take out all the gold, silver and jewelry at home and present it to Your Majesty!

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Gold, silver and jewelry? I can't find any of the masters. Since the rebels came twice, the family has been empty, with no money, no food, no clothes... If you don't believe it, follow the little gentlemen to look for it. You don't have to be polite to find anything, just take it away!"

His attitude made the teenagers feel a deep sense of powerlessness, as if you were waving a knife at someone fiercely and shouting, "I want to kill you!" But the man was not afraid of running away, and even put his neck over and said, "Do it, I've lived enough anyway."

Is it powerful or weak when hitting the cotton pile?

The persistent Wang Meng wanted to carry out the robbery to the end. He stared at the steaming pot in the yard, and suddenly a waterline flowed down his mouth, "Look, you don't have gold, silver and jewelry, it's really a bit of trouble, but our Emperor Majesty can't go for nothing, otherwise... if you don't have money, you can eat!"

As he said that, he rushed to the side of the pot and shouted, "What delicious is it? Let me try it too!"

Liu Penzi looked dark, what kind of teammate is this? Can we be more serious in the robber? As a robber, if you don’t steal gold, silver and jewelry, or other people’s porridge, do you have some professional ethics? You still have shamelessness! The style that you finally pretended to be ruined by this sentence.

But his brothers who were half-aged and had never had much oil in their stomachs rushed over and shouted, "Give it to me!" "I want it too!"

There was only a simple-looking boy who was standing beside Liu Penzi, unmoved at all. Liu Penzi asked strangely: "Niu Decao, why don't you go?"

Niu Decao said: "I am Your Majesty's personal bodyguard. You must always protect Your Majesty and not leave your post without permission!"

Liu Penzi was shocked, "Damn it, a cowherd is so enlightened, and herds are not changing in color. Could it be that he is really influenced by his glorious image and personal charm?"

However, he recalled that Niu Decao was really a person who loved everything. He was the most serious person in raising cattle. No matter how others were playing around, he was never lazy.

This imperial guard was just Liu Pengzi said casually, and he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Niu Decao took a hammer as a needle, and had completely taken the role of a guard and stood upright beside him.

And the imperial guards who were snatching food were sticking out their tongues and cursing: "What kind of thing is too unpalatable?" "Is this something that can be put into your mouth?"

Liu Banzi walked forward and saw that the porridge in the pot was gray. There were green vegetable leaves and sticky things in the porridge. It looked like it was made of daily food. When he got closer, an indescribable smell surged up, which made him almost vomit.

The members of the Red Eyebrow Army were all hungry people who were suffering from disasters. They had to find a way to survive before they gathered together and made a living by robbery. They often had poor food and clothing, but they would never lose food. These young men who were wandering with the large army and ate braised vegetables had never eaten this kind of porridge. Is this also called porridge? It was simply mud and could not be swallowed.

The old man sneered, "Can't you eat it? I've been fasting for two days before I finally had this meal of 'tree porridge'. If you want to eat it, don't be polite, just eat it." After that, he took the bowl, served another bowl, and drank it slowly, without even thinking about the Emperor of Han who came to his door.

Banden took out his fingers that had been tinkering in his nostrils, pointed at the pot and said, "Old, old man, what is tree porridge?"

The old man said: "The raw materials for this porridge are all made of trees. The green ones are the leaves on the tree and the weeds under the tree. The bark and roots are the only ones. I took some soil under the tree and cooked them together. This way, it can be more viscous and resistant to hunger."

"How to eat this...this is the soil!" "Yes, how can you eat the soil!"

"What can I eat if I don't eat these? Can't I die? Although my Zhang family was not a wealthy family, and was also a family of poetry and books, and had enough food and clothing, but since the Red Eyebrow... the rebel army came here and said that it was going to raise military funds. The rebel army had come to the door several times and robbed things when they saw them. Not to mention gold, silver, jewelry, vegetables, meat, grain, rice, and clothes and bedding, they were all plundered. We have been out of food for three days, so we can only rely on this tree porridge to relieve hunger. Alas, in troubled times, people's lives are as cheap as an ant, so it's a day to live!" After saying that, the old man buried his head and blew the tree porridge in the bowl.

The rest of the Zhang family ignored the Han emperor and kept adding porridge and drinking in big mouthfuls. They must have been hungry for a long time.

The teenagers in the Cattle Stable are still young and still have a pure nature. Seeing these people's faces are pale and thin, and they can't swallow things, they feel a little uncomfortable.

Little Bandon's snot was flowing down, and he sobbed, "Your Majesty, these people are so pitiful, let's not steal them!"

I can't grab it even if I want to grab it. I haven't grabbed anything?

Looking at the miserable appearance of the Zhang family, Liu Penzi suddenly felt sad and couldn't speak for a while.

After being silent, he spoke, "Let Liu Xiaqing send some food here, don't let them starve to death."

What's going on? A bunch of people came in a fierce manner, and they didn't rush to do anything, but instead had to pay some food.

Niu Tou Ma Mi had long bowed to the ground, and Ma Mi said, "Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son, and his virtues are all over the world. No saint lord from ancient times to the present can compare with Your Majesty. With such a wise and powerful lord...... a foolish lord is really a blessing for my Han Dynasty and the country!"

Niu Tou tore the clothes on his chest with both hands, as if Zhang Jike won the game. He cried loudly, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is really the most benevolent in the world... You are a fool!"

Liu Penzi raised his leg and kicked the two eunuchs, scolding: "Dog, just talk about anything here! Get out of here! Get out!"

The group turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly someone shouted: "Your Majesty, wait!"
