When Zhao Shan saw the hairpin stabbing him, he decisively grabbed Bai Youyou's wrist and flicked it, causing the hairpin to fly out and fall to the ground. The severe pain made Bai Youyou look miserable and there were tears in her eyes.
She did not give in, her eyes were stubborn, and she cursed: "Zhao Shan, I, Bai Youyou, live by the word justice. You are lustful and domineering. You are not a tyrant. Who is the tyrant?"
Zhao Shan sneered in his heart.
There is something interesting about this woman Bai Youyou, she does uphold justice, but she is too simple.
This is also what Zhao Shan can take advantage of.
If this can be used to instigate Bai Youyou, further plot against the Xuannv Sect, and interfere with Jianghu forces, it will strengthen Zhao Shan's control over the local area. Zhao Shan had an idea and looked at Bai Youyou with more interest.
If you want to win over Bai Youyou, you have to suppress him first and then give him benefits, so that Bai Youyou will be grateful.
Zhao Shan ran his hand across Bai Youyou's delicate and smooth skin and teased: "You said I'm tyrannical. If I'm not tyrannical, wouldn't I disappoint you? You said I'm lustful. If I don't satisfy you, wouldn't it mean I'm not worthy of my name? I'll make it happen today. you."
Bai Youyou was completely panicked. While struggling, she exclaimed: "No, no!"
When she was almost in despair after being controlled, the next moment, she suddenly found herself flying up and then fell to the ground with a plop. Bai Youyou looked up at Zhao Shan and was stunned again. Didn't Zhao Shan want to rape her?
Why did you stop suddenly?
Bai Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes were extremely wary and asked: "Zhao Shan, what are your intentions?"
Zhao Shan grabbed the clothes he had worn, threw them over and said, "Put them on and make do with them."
Bai Youyou put it on in two or two times, blocking the spring sunshine on her body, but the vigilance in her eyes was also reduced a lot.
She doesn't understand what Zhao Shan wants to do?
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Since you Bai Youyou uphold justice, I will take you to the place tomorrow morning to understand how the people view me and Li Wu? Do you dare to go?"
Bai Youyou frowned and said stubbornly: "Just go, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "In that case, I will arrange for someone to take you to rest. Don't worry, I will not restrict your movements. You can leave the palace quietly. I will treat you as the wrong person."
There was a hint of excitement in his words.
Bai Youyou has a simple temper and always believes that she upholds justice, so she immediately said: "I, Bai Youyou, will never run away."
Zhao Shan smiled and ordered the eunuch to take Bai Youyou away.
Bai Youyou followed her away in confusion. When she walked out of the hall, she looked back in the direction of Zhao Shan. Did Zhao Shan really believe that she wouldn't run away? When Bai Youyou was placed in a side hall and calmed down completely, he thought about what happened today.
Bai Youyou felt a little regretful in her heart. It was a bit reckless to assassinate Zhao Shan because she didn't understand him.
However, she has no regrets.
Zhao Shan showed a lustful scene, but did not force her to do anything. Coupled with the fact that Zhao Shan helped the victims, Bai Youyou felt a little curious in his heart. What kind of person is Zhao Shan?
With this in mind, Bai Youyou fell asleep in a daze.
Early the next morning, Bai Youyou had breakfast, washed briefly, put on fitting clothes, and came to Zhao Shan's main hall.
When Zhao Shan saw Bai Youyou, his eyes flashed with a smile, and he said straight to the point: "Miss Bai, after we leave Luoyang City, you will show us the way. Wherever you point, I will go to avoid you saying that I am deceiving."
Bai Youyou said: "Okay!"
Zhao Shan led people out of the city and asked Bai Youyou to choose the direction, and he chose the direction of Baiyun Mountain in the southwest of Luoyang. The group left Luoyang and walked far away. Bai Youyou saw an old farmer in the farmland ahead and said, "Your Majesty, ask this old man."
"Can!"
Zhao Shan came to the old farmer's side and asked, "Old man, I'm sorry to bother you. I want to go to Baiyun Mountain. How far is it?"
The old farmer saw that Zhao Shan was well-dressed and that he came from a wealthy family. He was a little cautious and said quickly: "It's still seventeen or eight miles from here to Baiyun Mountain."
Zhao Shan nodded with a smile and said smoothly: "Old man, I just arrived in Luoyang and I am going to do some small business. But I heard that the new emperor is very cruel. He killed Li Wu, a wise minister in the court, and killed innocent people indiscriminately. I'm afraid I won't be able to do business." easy."
"fart!"
The old farmer suddenly became angry.
He looked angry and scolded: "Young master, what you heard is all gossip. His Majesty the Emperor killed Li Wu, but he made decisions for the people. The land cultivated by the old man belongs to Li Wu."
"The nearby villagers all rent land from the Li family. They have to pay the Li family for water use, 60% of the harvested grain is given to the Li family, and the family also provides free labor to the Li family. Li Wu is so rich, but he still exploits us. , what kind of wise minister is he?"
"His Majesty the Emperor is a good man. He opened warehouses to provide us with grain and distributed land."
The old farmer looked expectantly and said happily: "Young Master, His Majesty the Emperor is very kind. I have also been assigned a few acres of land. You are a noble person and cannot be indifferent to right from wrong."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "The old man is right, the boy has learned a lesson."
After he thanked him, he took Bai Youyou and continued walking, asking questions as he walked. The people he asked all said that Zhao Shanshengming and Li Wu deserved to die.
Only Bai Youyou's face became more solemn and her brows were furrowed. She received news from the sect that Li Wu was the pillar of the country and the mainstay of Daqian. The result of all the inquiries today was that Li Wu was bullying the people.
Bai Youyou has his own judgment and can see that the person Zhao Shan asked was not lying.
As a result, Bai Youyou also had doubts about Xuannv Sect.
Zhao Shan finally met a traveling businessman, who was carrying bamboo decorations and shouting. Zhao Shan stopped the businessman and said, "Brother, please excuse me."
The businessman smiled and said, "What do you want to buy, sir? I have a dustpan, a bamboo basket, a bamboo cup and the like?"
Zhao Shan took a closer look at the bamboo handicrafts, which were quite exquisite.
Zhao Shan bought a dustpan and said, "To be honest, brother, I just arrived in Luoyang and am planning to start a grain business. I heard that local gangs collect tolls, and brothers walk around the streets. Do you know the secrets here?" "
After selling a dustpan, the businessman became patient and explained: "The gang in this area is the Changle Gang, and businessmen passing by have to pay. In fact, it's not bad to pay. The Changle Gang kills people frequently, and the young leader of the Changle Gang is very You are lustful, so be careful with the girls around you."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice. I know what to do."
The businessman shook his head and said with emotion: "There are martial arts gangs everywhere in Daqian, and they all collect taxes. The most vicious ones may even rob homes. You avoid the Changle Gang, the Black Tiger Gang, etc... Oh, how difficult it is!"
The businessman shook his head and left.
Zhao Shan looked at Bai Youyou and said in a deep voice: "Miss Bai, I have learned about the situation of Li Wu and others, as well as the situation of local gangs. Do you think the Xuannv Sect upholds justice?"
Bai Youyou defended: "Our Xuannv Sect..."
Zhao Shan interrupted: "Do the disciples of Xuannv Sect know how to farm? Do they know how to do business? They don't know anything. But there are so many people in the sect and no stable source of income. Do they all drink the northwest wind?"
"The Xuannv Sect can gain a foothold on the one hand because it controls countless pieces of land and can exploit the people for profit."
"On the other hand, you get benefits from helping Zhao Yong do things. You claim to be righteous, but you have never thought about the background of the Xuannv Sect. If you don't exploit the people and don't help the tyrants, how can the disciples of the Xuannv Sect be well-off and well-educated?"
Kick! Kick!
Bai Youyou couldn't help but take two steps back. Her beautiful face no longer had the pride it had before, and her eyes were even more confused.
The Xuannv Sect does have a lot of land, and there are people who are responsible for collecting taxes, and the Xuannv Sect is indeed helping Zhao Yong.
Zhao Shan smiled in his heart.
Bai Youyou is different from Ye Qingxuan. Ye Qingxuan has a city and it is difficult to surrender directly.
Bai Youyou is a child of Jianghu, with clear grievances and more innocence. She is not stupid, she just has not been exposed to the bottom and does not understand the situation at the bottom.
Zhao Shan looked at the increasingly autumn scenery and said in a deep voice: "Governing the world, they say that governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies, but it is actually very difficult. There is a needle on top and a thousand threads on the bottom. It is very difficult to sort out. No matter what, , the people who suffer are the people. When things prosper, the people suffer. When they die, the people suffer."
boom!
Bai Youyou's body trembled.
She listened to Zhao Shan's words, felt the compassion in Zhao Shan's words, and suddenly seemed to understand Zhao Shan.
This is the real Zhao Shan!
In Bai Youyou's eyes, Zhao Shan was no longer the same as last night. She felt that the Zhao Shan in front of her was so bright and kind.
This is the true lord of the world.
Zhao Shan had a spring breeze-like smile on his face, his eyes were shining, and he said softly: "Miss Bai is a pure person. I need the help of people like you to manage Daqian well. Are you willing to help me?"
Bai Youyou's eyes lit up and her heart skipped a beat.
