I don't believe what the old man said, but it seems that everything is moving towards what he said.
The dam has been overhauled, but its condition is only slightly better than before.
The overall condition of the granary has improved a bit. No one dares to sell grain for the time being, but it will recover after half a year.
The only thing that changed was that the chief clerk left.
He was noticed by the inspector and transferred to Kyoto.
Then everything goes back to normal.
Jianyi has changed, yet it seems like it hasn't changed at all.
I couldn’t understand the various situations at the court, but I was greatly shocked.
In the 833rd year of the Great Xia calendar, what was supposed to happen finally happened.
Heavy rains continued for months and the levees collapsed.
Floods raged, granaries were empty, refugees were everywhere, and driven by hunger, wealthy families and official granaries were attacked. They were called rioters and were killed without mercy.
Everything came full circle and then right back to where it started.
This time, the Zhang family was still called traitors because they opened their granaries and distributed grain when refugees were everywhere.
In the Jianyi area, there are countless living people near the Zhang family.
As the Zhang family's business grew, they needed to brew wine on a daily basis, so they stockpiled a considerable amount of grain.
When there is a flood, open the granary and release grain.
Too many refugees survived this round of disaster, but this also became the Zhang family's death.
The county government did not release grain, the wealthy families did not release grain, but the Zhang family opened their granaries and released grain.
The more people there are alive, the bigger the problem becomes.
After the number of refugees exceeded several thousand, many officers and soldiers surrounded the Zhang family and started a massacre on the grounds that the Zhang family was harboring rebels.
The refugees were in a state of excitement and had a head-on conflict with the officers and soldiers.
The blood of the Zhang family flowed like a river, and a section of the Ganjiang River changed color.
The pile of corpses even blocked the river for a while.
In such a brutal battle, personal martial arts seemed to become a joke.
After three rounds of cavalry charges, I was seriously injured and thought I was going to die here again.
I never expected that the refugees would risk their lives and even use their flesh and blood to block the iron hooves and take me away.
The Zhang family was destroyed, but it also seemed like it was not destroyed.
In the end, some scattered members of the Zhang family escaped. Afterwards, I learned that the Zhang family was ransacked and charged with treason, and all the survivors were wanted.
However, after the Zhang family's property was ransacked, it was publicly announced that only a few thousand taels of silver were seized, and no other items were found.
It's really a joke. Not to mention that Weiyuan Escort Agency has accumulated wealth over the years, the wealth of Weiyuan Escort Agency back then was more than thousands of taels of silver, even tens of thousands.
In addition, Yuhuchun has been a best-seller for ten years, and my family alone received tens of thousands of taels of silver, and this was the result of a reduction in the distribution in the later period.
I don't even know how much money the Zhang family has.
It was the Zhang family that had always provided relief to thousands of disaster victims. Such extravagant financial resources aroused the greed of the county magistrate and others. Sheltering refugees and rebels was just an excuse.
I never thought that after nearly ten years of prosperity, I could still be so destitute.
The refugees who saved me were two middle-aged men. They risked their lives to pull me out of the pile of dead bodies, took me into the river, and helped me escape the pursuit of the soldiers and officers.
This is because I was seriously injured and had to rely on the two of them to fish by the river every day for a living.
The red river water has attracted many big fish. Although the two men have no fishing tools, they can catch fish easily.
My injuries are recovering little by little.
I never thought that one day I would survive a life-threatening situation with the help of refugees who were far weaker than me.
The matter was not over yet. Zhang family head Zhang Benji died in the chaos. His body was taken away by refugees and buried in an unnamed hill in the back mountain.
The rest of the Zhang family members were either dead or scattered, and those who were still alive were all wanted. In fact, I was the main one wanted.
Zhang Tuyuan, the symbol of the Zhang family's military power, was killed on the spot.
And I emerged from the chaos and killed two centurions.
He successfully completed the marrow cleansing and blood exchange, generating internal strength from the outside in and forming罡气. In the small area of Jianyi, he can be regarded as a hero.
My family was destroyed, but I was freed from all the shackles.
The Tiger Demon has made no progress in practicing Tiger Fist since five years ago.
The murderous intent that the tiger demon roared in my heart was suppressed by me and could not be vented. My boxing spirit even regressed over the years.
Only the Bull's powerful fist moved forward step by step. Now that the shackles were removed, the Tiger Demon became ferocious and unbridled, and his fist power improved by leaps and bounds.
Just one month after the bloody battle, I had another marrow cleansing and blood transfusion.
I hid in the county government office for seven days. Then, I found an opportunity, cut the county magistrate in half with one sword, and fled away.
As for the mountains of silver in the county magistrate's house, I simply opened the door and threw all the silver out.
Over the next half month, I killed all those involved in the incident that day.
The tiger demon looked so ferocious that it almost jumped out of my mind.
I completed my third bone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion.
The drunk old man found me, and I never thought that he was not dead.
That day he also started a killing spree and fought his way through the chaotic army, but he was also under the most pressure, as a centurion was staring at him.
It never occurred to me that he was alive.
The old man didn't say much, he just told me to go to Shiwan Mountain, where there is a Taoist temple deep in the mountains. He asked me to find the old Taoist in the temple to learn Dragon Fist.
Without the Dragon Fist, the Tiger Demon becomes even more ferocious, with evil intent ingrained into his bones, and he will die sooner or later.
Everything in Jianyi has been dealt with, so I don’t care. I follow the old man’s instructions and go deep into the mountains.
The Shiwan Mountains are still located in the western part of Jiangnan, about thousands of miles away from Jianyi.
But I have never heard that there is a Taoist temple in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The Ten Thousand Mountains are extremely terrifying. Even the locals believe that the mountains are extremely terrifying. There are often top demons roaring, shaking the mountains.
