Chapter 2: Generous Gifts

Ye took Ye Hua and wanted to go out of the city, but found that the city gate was suddenly closed, and this time it was a disaster. Kaifeng City, as the capital, is far from being prosperous with millions of households a few decades later, but there are also hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

Every day, the need for grain, vegetables, meat, cloth, firewood, charcoal, etc., is astronomical, and as soon as the city gates are closed, merchants from all over the country, and vendors from neighboring villages, are all trapped in the city and cannot get out.

The big guy complained and didn't know what to do.

Ye is even more anxious, she brought her grandson to join relatives, but now she can't even go home, how can this be good? It seems that I can't get out today. You have to find a place to stay and stay for one night.

The old lady could only take Ye Hua to find an inn and asked one after another, but as soon as they said the price, the old lady was stunned, it really deserves to be the capital, where can I afford to live!

Just when the old lady had no idea, Ye Hua suddenly spoke.

"Big Mom, why don't you go to Guo's Mansion!"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, turned her head suddenly, stared at Ye Hua, and warned solemnly: "Hua'er, we are poor, we can't lose our ambition, the Guo family treats us like this, do you still send your face to be beaten?" The old lady was very angry, but she also knew that it was useless to be angry, so she hesitated for a while, reached out and took down a golden hairpin from her head, put it in her hand and sighed.

"This is what your grandfather left me, go to the pawnshop, find a good inn to live for a night, I won't let you be wronged."

The old lady said that she was leaving, but found that Ye Hua was still not moving, and said solemnly: "Big mother, it's not that the Guo family is unsympathetic, it's that they are in trouble." ”

"Difficult?" The old lady didn't believe it, "Guo Wei is a privy envoy, he holds military power, what can be difficult for him, don't talk nonsense about you kids!" ”

Ye Hua shook his head, "Big Mom, we are going to visit the Guo Mansion, someone is following behind, after entering the Mansion, I saw that the people of the Guo family were all panicked, and the mansion was in chaos." drove us out and scolded fiercely, but he didn't beat people much, as if he was doing it for others to see. Also, it is not unusual for the city gates to be closed abruptly before noon......"

Ye Hua is not a mouthful, he is familiar with the history of the five dynasties, this is an era full of absurdities, among many absurd things, the actions of Emperor Liu Chengyou of the Han Dynasty can definitely rank in the top three, completely brainless!

Liu Zhiyuan, the Taizu of the Later Han Dynasty, replaced the Later Jin Dynasty and died less than a year after ascending the throne, and was succeeded by his son Liu Chengyou. The little emperor is young, the power is in the hands of a few old ministers, the lord is suspicious, the powerful ministers are full of dynasties, almost all young sons of heaven have to face a tricky situation, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms are particularly terrible, a little careless, but to change the dynasty.

However, Liu Chengyou chose the most crude and simple way to solve the ministers.

He let his cronies directly set up an ambush in the palace, killed the prime minister Yang Wei in one go, and commanded Shi Hongzhao and Wang Zhang.

Not only did he kill these three guys, but he also destroyed their full door.

In the first round, the little emperor won a big victory.

Next, the little emperor set his target on the privy envoy Guo Wei.

Guo Wei is different from those three people, he leads the troops outside, and his prestige is extremely high, even the Khitan is afraid of Guo Wei's three points, which can be called the dry city of the country.

In the face of such a fierce man, you should think slowly and think twice. But Liu Chengyou did not take the usual path, and directly ordered Ma Jundu to command Guo Chong to kill Guo Wei and Wang Jun, and then issued an edict to make Li Hongyi and get rid of Wang Yin.

If these three were successfully killed, like the brothers in front, the old minister would be swept away.

But Li Hongyi had a backbone in the back of his head, and he revealed the news.

Guo Boss is not an ordinary person, he immediately discussed with the strategists, forged the edict, and instead threatened his generals, saying that the emperor had issued an edict to him to kill the big guy.

Of course, the soldiers were full of righteous indignation, this is the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the most chaotic and unreasonable time, and the generals' rebellion is as easy as drinking cold water.

Immediately, Xiao generals surrounded Guo Wei, played the banner of Qingjun's side, and returned to Kaifeng.

These people are all heroes in a hundred battles, and those who can resist the Khitan can not be matched by Liu Chengyou's shrimp soldiers and crabs. Guo Wei's golden knife was like a bamboo, and he fought all the way back to the capital.

When the little emperor learned that Guo Wei had raised troops, he was furious and immediately killed Guo Wei's entire family.

It was this accident that Guo Wei lost his beloved wife, Mrs. Chai, and two sons, and no son inherited the world, so he had to pass on the throne to his righteous son Chai Rong...... Ye Hua found out that he was related to the Guo family, and he was going to the city to visit the Guo family, so he thought of finding an opportunity to remind the Guo family to be careful of the emperor's poisonous hands.

If you can save the lives of the Guo family, when Boss Guo ascends the throne, he will suddenly hug the thickest thigh in the world, which is exciting to think about.

But who would have thought that the timing of the crossing was too bad.

He came to this world two days ago, followed the Ye family into the city in a daze, and then was driven out by the Guo family, and there was no time to warn.

In Ye Hua's judgment, Guo Wei is a kind person, and Mrs. Chai, who is in charge, is even more of a strange woman, so there is really no need to speak harshly and ruthlessly to her poor relatives in the past.

When he saw the forbidden army closing the city gate, Ye Hua guessed seventy or eighty percent.

It's a shame, the little emperor has already done it!

Ye Hua shouted regret, but the old lady was thoughtful.

She was also confused just now, but now that she thinks about it, the Guo family is indeed very abnormal, and she was very enthusiastic when she entered the door, but after reporting to Mrs. Chai, she immediately changed her face, which is too fast!

The old lady felt that what her grandson said was reasonable, maybe she was wrong to blame the good people...... The old lady picked up Ye Hua and walked quickly towards Guo's mansion, there was still some way to go, and she found that she couldn't get close, and even the street was full of forbidden troops. The Guo family has been arrested, and at this moment, someone is transporting gold and silver from Guo's mansion, and the carriage is full of boxes, swaggering through the market. The old lady only felt that her feet were weak and she almost fell.

Ye Hua hurriedly hugged her grandmother!

"Big Mommy!"

The old lady shook her head, full of sentimentality, and whispered, "I'm fine, let's go!" ”

The two of them cautiously bypassed a street, and did not go to the inn, but sat down silently next to a ruined earth temple.

In fact, the imperial court ordered the city gate to be closed, and raided the home of the privy envoy Guo Wei, what a big move! The inns in the capital have closed their doors early, and they want to go to the hotel, but there is nowhere to go.

The two grandchildren were tired and hungry, Ye looked at his grandson and felt distressed, and put his hand into the baggage. This bag contains some walnuts, jujubes, dried vegetables, and mushrooms, which are local goods specially prepared by the son-in-law and given to the Guo family, although they are not valuable, but they are a heart.

Ye wanted to take out a handful of jujubes to his grandson, but found that it didn't feel right. took it out suddenly, and it was actually a string of copper coins, which frightened Ye Shi and immediately stuffed it back, and his heart was pounding.

She looked around warily and saw that no one was there, so she cautiously checked.

It turned out that in the baggage, there were several strings of copper coins stuffed, and in the bag of walnuts there were some silver pieces, and in the bag of mushrooms were a few gold beads.

The old lady was even more shocked, this is not a small amount of money!

Rough estimates, there are dozens of them, especially gold and silver, don't look at the market is not in circulation, but when you get the cabinet, you can exchange it immediately, full of hard currency!

Who put it in the baggage?

Is it a son-in-law?

Don't be funny, that loser has all this money, he will only gamble, eat, drink, and never give gifts! Then there is only one possibility left, which was stuffed into it by the Guo family!

The old lady looked in the direction of Guo's mansion, and suddenly her face had a fever, and she didn't know what to say.

Wrong, really wrong!

The Guo family didn't look down on people, and the old lady was puzzled: "Are they afraid of affecting us?" ”

"Hmm!" Ye Hua Zhengse said: "If the Guo family hadn't blasted us out, but stayed to eat and rest, maybe we would have been arrested as a family." ”

Ye Shi held a gold bead and said ashamedly: "They also have a heart, they hid the money in our baggage, deliberately threw it out, and said those over-the-top words, all of which were said to those people who were secretly staring!" ”

Ye blamed himself more and more, after living for such an age, he thought that he was sophisticated, and he saw through it all, but he didn't expect that he still misjudged the Guo family!

I scolded them so much in my heart, what a shame!

When the old lady was sad, suddenly from the other side of the street, a person ran in a panic, she was holding a swaddling baby in her arms, and ran not far from Ye Hua, the woman accidentally slipped and fell, she desperately protected the child in her arms, her arms and legs were broken, she struggled in pain, and couldn't get up for a while.

Ye Shi stretched out his hand and helped her up, the woman looked up, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "It's the old lady!" Ye also recognized the woman, she was Mrs. Chai's personal maid, named Xiuyun......
