In the year 200 BC, China was suffering from an internal struggle for power. Which led to wars and massacres, people suffered from hunger and poverty, and many dynasties that coveted the throne fell. And the King of China at that time did not hear the pleading and crying of his people. He was a tyrant and tyranny does not fall, and people lived in his rule with injustices.
In the year 201 BC, some people could not stand the king's grievances, and decided to overthrow the king and usurp the throne. It happened with the victory of the revolutionaries.
In the year 202 BC, the revolutionaries were victorious and divided the fortunes among themselves. Liu Bang, who was one of the revolutionaries, ruled the Han capital of Chang'an, which means lasting peace. From there the Han dynasty arose.
At the beginning of Liu Bang's rule, he was generous in the counties and villages near the capital of Chang'an, but harsh in some of the small, remote villages. To the extent that bandits took control of some villages that Emperor Liu Bang did not care or annex. Su village was no exception, it was small and the poor lived in it, Sometimes the aid comes from the rich, but most of them were poor, and the rest of their financial situation was okay. But people lived with each other and loved each other very much. That same night, a terrified girl ran with fear into the western forest of the village, with several bandits behind her.
"Someone help me, please don't hurt me." She stopped at a dead end and was screaming and moaning at them, begging them not to hurt her.
But these people did not hear any of her pleas and were looking at her like rabid dogs. They attacked her fiercely, but the next moment a child emerged from behind the thick trees with an iron bar in his hand. The birds flew with the screams of the bandits.
After a short while, the scene around the girl was tragic and blood splattered all around her and she screamed, "Ah~~".
"Killer, don't come near me. Help, there's a killer here, someone help me." The girl kept repeating these words in the hope that someone would help her.
In the pitch darkness, the moon fell on the spot where they were so that the thirteen-year-old boy looked at the blood-stained iron rod in his hands and his clothes were stained with blood and the smell of blood became strong. He was trembling, nervous and frightened, and took several steps towards the girl and said in fear, "Mi..Mi. I'm not a killer, this-"
"Don't come close... criminal-" with her repeated screams that woke the villagers. The people turned towards the sound. The child heard footsteps approaching.
"Mi.. I'm not the killer, that's me..."
Mi shouted forcefully, turning around, "You're a killer. Don't come close."
This terrified the child, and his eyes became wet, and he knew that once the villagers arrested him, they would kill and torture him. Now with this situation he will kill, "I don't want to die." He whispered this over and over. He threw the iron rod away and before he could turn he glanced at Mi, who was in her eyes like a murderer, and turned and fled towards the foothills of the forest. This was the first killing of common people in the kingdom since the rule of Emperor Liu Bang.
After years back in Venue County.
Venue County was a small county, and most of the poor and common people lived there. He was the county governor, a miserly and unjust person. As long as he took the riches that the capital sent to the county, he kept them in his warehouse. Previously, the emperor would always send someone to look at people's complaints and requirements. But because of the wars and the defense of the country, day by day the emperor forgot about this small province.
The residents of the province lived on the income of their industries, and it was famous for the pharmaceutical industry, and the majority inherited this profession from the previous generations of their families. This village was not the same as Su Village. Rather, it was enjoying life and prosperity, and its inhabitants were more lively and dynamic. At this moment, a rather tall male figure with a white inner robe, a red outer robe, long black shoes, and long black hair walked in and tied at the bottom with a red ribbon so that his hair wouldn't disturb him when the wind was blowing. Not to be noticed, he wore a bamboo hat over his head.
But the hat was not of much use to him. As soon as he entered Venue County, he caught the attention of passersby. Although he wasn't the first person to enter this way, his aura and beauty were enough to attract passersby. At this moment he stood near the herbal shop and asked the old man who was grading medicinal herbs.
"Excuse me, do you know this person?" The handsome man took out a slip of paper and gave it to the old man.
The old man raised his head and was astonished for a moment, and then as if he had returned to the ground, he looked at the figure drawn on the slip of paper and kept thinking while scratching his head, "Hmm..."
The young man continued, "As far as I know, he's based here. But everyone I asked didn't know-"
The old man interrupted him as he extended his hands to hand the slip of paper and said stutteringly, "I…d.. I don't know him...".
"General Leung Heng." Suddenly a boy came out behind the old man and said excitedly, "Is it possible that you don't know General Leung Heng?"
The old man cast a menacing look at the granddaughter, but the boy spared no glances for the grandmother.
The young man raised his head toward the boy and quickly said, "Hm... he doesn't have a close acquaintance with him but he has a something for him to deliver."
The boy looked in astonishment and advanced, took the slip of paper and carefully looked, "But General Leung Heng passed away a long time ago."
"what?!"
"Didn't you know, he was seriously injured in the War of the Three Kingdoms." He rubbed his chin and continued, "My teacher said, he suffered from pain before his death."
"Ah, how unfortunate." The young man looked at the horizon and continued, "Where is he buried? I think I'll go to offer my condolences."
The boy looked strangely and came closer to the young man and whispered, "No one knows where he is buried."
Surprised he asked, "Why?!"
Honestly, we shouldn't talk about him. He was buried in secret, so that some wicked people would not use his body to dig his grave and exploit his body with evil deeds. The nobles did not want to spread the news of his death to the enemies. I don't know why. But I once heard my teacher say that he was buried in the capital."
"Oh, he seems like an important person. Ah, thank you boy." He took out his gold coin, put it in his hand, and left without saying a word.
The boy looked at his hands and was startled and wanted to object but suddenly the handsome young man disappeared in sight.
