Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

As night fell, everyone, tired after a day's work, returned to their simple huts to rest.

Perhaps they were worried that overwork would lead to too many casualties, thus causing unnecessary trouble.

So with sufficient jade supply, they can get two and a half hours (five hours) of precious rest time.

After Chuwu exchanged a glance with the other two, he picked up his own dinner - a black-faced steamed bun - and then dispersed.

At this time, Chuwu looked like an honest farmer.

While chewing his steamed bread, he chatted with the person next to him: "Brother, how did you get here?"

The other party smiled bitterly and replied, "Alas, I am so unlucky. I originally came to the city to find a job, but I was deceived and came here."

Chuwu followed up and said, "Haha, we really are in the same boat! I'm the same as you."

A person nearby replied, "You guys are lucky. I was arrested for no reason."

Chuwu asked curiously: "Brother, what's your name? What do you do outside? How did you get in?"

The other party sighed helplessly: "My name is Li Ming, I am a peddler.

Once, I passed by a village and sold some things there. At night, a woman in their village died.

Later, the police came over and took a look, and actually said directly that I was the murderer. Tell me, am I wronged?

I tried to explain but they didn’t want to listen.”

Li Ming pointed his finger at his forehead, his voice trembling: "I am really wronged! I have never seen that woman and I have no motive to hurt her.

But now, I have lost my freedom and am forced to work here. Even my parents don’t know where I am.”

At this time, someone nearby interrupted and said, "What's the big deal? Many of these people were wrongly imprisoned, and quite a few were wrongly accused."

As he spoke, he pointed to the person in the distance: "Do you see that person over there?"

Chuwu looked in the direction the man pointed and saw a thin man sitting in the distance.

His face was shrouded in shadow, his eyes were dull and he looked particularly haggard.

Chuwu asked curiously, "What happened to him?"

"My wife and children were separated. I heard that my father was beaten to death, my mother was also dead, and my wife took the children back to her parents' home.

A good family was destroyed just like that."

Chuwu lowered his head, his eyes flashed slightly, and he found it.

But Chuwu was a little curious. He was already locked up here, so how did he know about his family?

So, he looked at the person who was speaking and asked, "How did you know that?"

"Hey, I don't know if I know it, many people know it, that day Mr. Li came,

When he saw it, he rushed out with a stone in his hand, not even thinking about how he could possibly succeed!

He was beaten half to death.

These were all told to him by Master Li, and we who were standing nearby heard them all.

Master Li also said that if he died, he would go and taste his wife. "

Chuwu clenched his fists, knowing that he would take care of these beasts sooner or later.

He sat in the straw hut, and the people around him seemed to have found a resonance and began to share their experiences.

Each person's story is full of helplessness and pain, like one tragedy after another, which makes him angry and deeply sympathetic at the same time.

"My name is Zhao Qiang, and I'm from Dawang Village." A thin young man also spoke. Although his voice was weak, it was firm.

“A few months ago, there was a fire in my village.

I was working in the fields that day and didn't go home at all. As a result, a neighbor was burned and they said I set the fire."

Tears glistened in his eyes.

"I even provided evidence to prove my innocence, but the officers refused to listen and just believed what those people said."

"When I was arrested, my mother and wife were also driven out of our home. I don't know what's happening to them now."

As the man spoke, tears began to fall from his eyes.

At this time, an old man in the corner said: "I may know why..."

Everyone around looked over and heard the old man sigh and say, "I'm from Xiaowang Village, which is next to their village.

I have a paddy field connected to their village.

One day, Lord Lin's servant found me and said he had taken a fancy to my paddy field.

I thought that the people would not stop fighting with the officials, so I gritted my teeth and sold it, and then went to buy another one somewhere else.

But who would have thought that they would only offer one tael of silver per mu? My paddy field is top-quality.

After decades of hard work, the land that carries countless hopes,

It’s only worth a few taels of silver, and after selling it we can’t buy other paddy fields. Then what will we eat?

You know, the best paddy fields are sold for sixteen taels of silver per mu.

So I, an old man, disagreed and had a conflict with Lord Lin’s servants.

As a result, he was framed and arrested on the charge of "harassing public officials".

I don’t know what the situation is at home now.”

At this time, an impatient person beside him interrupted and said, "Brother, you didn't mention Zhao Qiang's family at the end."

Old Man Wang glanced at him and continued, "After Lord Lin's servant arrested me, I overheard their conversation.

It turned out that Lord Lin wanted to build a villa.

Aunt Li suggested that Dawang Village and the surrounding lands be good, and that the back hills be enclosed to make hunting grounds.

Lord Lin also thought it was a good idea and agreed, so Aunt Li took the opportunity to take over the job. "

Zhao Qiang stopped crying at this time and said excitedly: "Then she can come and buy it, why burn the house."

Chuwu sighed and explained the reason for his guess, "Because after the house burned down, she went to comfort and coerce and bribe people, and then she could buy it at a very low price.

Besides, the villagers will only hate you because you set the fire."

I have to tell the truth about the fifth day of the New Year.

"Is that so? Is that so?"

As he spoke, Zhao Qiang started crying again, crying for the injustice of fate, crying for his grievances, and worrying about his family.

Liu Xin, who was lying on the bed, listened to everyone's experiences, thought about her own experience, and suddenly sat up and sighed weakly.

"Alas, I don't know if there will ever be a day when I can get justice in Cangzhou."

A person who had just come in nearby said quickly after hearing this: "Uncle, don't be discouraged. You must persevere. I believe that day will come soon."

The person next to him immediately perked up after hearing this, and asked in a low voice, "How did you know, or..."

They didn't dare ask the following sentence.

The man smiled and replied: "I just think that people should never give up hope.

Besides, I believe that evil will be punished.”

After hearing this, the few eyes that had just brightened up dimmed again.

The man didn't realize at all that his few words brought hope to people, but immediately pulled them into despair.

Instead, he asked Liu Xin how he got here.

Liu Xin probably wanted to talk to someone, so she said, “My family runs a restaurant, Shiweifang, in Cangzhou City.

Because my youngest son likes to eat it, he came up with some new dishes, which made the restaurant business very prosperous.

Later, Mr. Lin's nephew also opened a restaurant next to our house.

However, their dishes and service are not good, and people who go there are there just for Mr. Lin's sake.

After a long time, there will be no one left.

I didn't expect that he would catch my family's attention.

If you want to merge my restaurant and ask me to hand over the menu, I certainly don't want to do that.

Suddenly one day, the police came to arrest people, saying that there was something wrong with our food and people had died after eating it. We didn’t give any explanation, so they closed the restaurant.

My father and I were all arrested. Later, in order to save us, my wife had to give the restaurant and the recipes to Mr. Lin's nephew.

But even so, they only agreed to release my two sons, sentenced me to mismanagement and wrongful death, and then detained me.”

Finally, he smiled bitterly, "I don't know if I can get out alive."

After hearing this, the eyes of the people around them became even darker. Even the boss of Shiweixuan couldn't get out like them, so they had even less hope.

At this time, Chuwu said: "Don't worry, you can definitely go back."

He was talking about you, not us, but everyone was so caught up in their own pain that no one noticed.

In the shadow of Jade Mountain, almost everyone is drawn into a ruthless game of power.

Everyone's story is intertwined to form a tragic picture.
