But I saw a young scholar wearing a plain turban and gray robe walking out of the crowd and said: "I saw with my own eyes that this lady just lost her footing and fell, and did not accidentally run into the car. The car owner did not want to comfort her, but instead expressed her concern. Indifferent; are you afraid of power and only make things difficult for the common people?"
However, the next moment, Wu Xuanshuang, who was dressed as a charioteer in men's clothing, suddenly took action with a whip. The shadow of the whip that crackled in the air swept across the crowd, causing them to scramble to get away. But it was like a poisonous snake entwining itself, accurately trapping a rickety man.
Then he suddenly pulled it away from the crowd more than ten steps away with a whistling sound; then he let go and rolled it to the ground with all his strength. It was suddenly thrown into disgrace, and the towel was torn off. It was embarrassing for a moment. However, Wu Xuanshuang ignored the bad guy and the leading scholar present at all.
She suddenly jumped in front of the woman sitting on the ground, and started to shout again: "I saw very clearly just now that you were the culprit who pushed you out from the crowd on the street; you Have you ever met him? Of course, someone will make the decision for you..."
However, before the other villains and scholars could speak, the woman looked at the rickety man blankly, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How could it be you who is the master? Why is it you? Is it possible that the slave family is here? For you to dislike me so much, it will harm your children as well."
"You bitch, don't make random accusations. How could Alang have the intention to harm you!" Immediately, another young woman rushed over and blocked the man's body with exaggerated expressions and body movements. The former argued: "It's obvious that you colluded with others and made false accusations."
"So it's you? I wonder why the head of the house always stays up at night. It turns out he went to the place where your rotten hooves messed up." However, the woman who was sitting on the ground with her child in her arms was aroused and reprimanded with tears streaming down her face. ; "I only regret that I was blind and made you stay at home with my relatives!"
Immediately, she knelt down in front of Wu Xuanshuang regardless of the situation. With tears streaming down her face, she hugged the child and said, "This kind-hearted nobleman sent me. If you hadn't acted righteously, the slave mother and son would have died in confusion. This pair of evil and evil people... If you plant something in your hands, please ask your benefactor to be the master even though he is a slave."
As soon as a few words of dialogue came out, the crowd who had retreated some distance away, frightened by the whip, broke out into an uproar again. Most people thought they could see the drama of the powerful driving their cars on the street and hurting people; the bad people taking the opportunity to oppress the kind and charming, and the scholars speaking out for justice.
But in the blink of an eye, it turned into a story about a bad man taking advantage of the chaos in the street to murder his wife and children, and the mistresses fighting over each other? But at this time, when the scholar saw this, his face was red with embarrassment, and he lowered his head to hide his face and hid in the crowd. Only the few bad guys were left, and they stepped forward to ask for advice;
"You should know what to do now. Someone will ask about Chang'an County later." Wu Xuanshuang took out a personal badge and said impatiently to them: "If you don't clear the road quickly, if it ruins the master's temperament for traveling, Or if it delays the trip, it won’t fall on you in the end.”
"Yes! Don't worry, noble one." The bad guys headed by Zhang Maliao immediately swarmed up and grabbed the man and woman who wanted to sneak away. They also helped the woman up and led her to the corridor to give them instructions. "No, madam, you are so lucky to have a noble person come forward."
After skipping this small episode, the carriage continued to move forward in the street market, as if nothing had happened. Jiang Tian also said to the girl again: "Xuan Shuang's method of disposal is not the optimal solution, but it is undoubtedly the most decisive, direct and effective result at the moment."
"This is the benefit of power, even a little bit of extension and influence; it can make those who are in it easily free from most of the irrelevant worries and troubles in the world; that's why countless people in the world are competing for it , we must seek to obtain it by any means necessary;"
"And these bad people are also the lowest part of the power system. Although they are not even officials, they are humble in front of any officials; but how can they be in front of ordinary people? It’s not a terrifying existence like a poisonous snake or beast.”
"Why is this? Can they still be able to carry out the king's law or engage in corruption and fraud?" The girl couldn't help but asked curiously, but Jiang Tian shook his head: "Of course they can't carry out the king's law on their behalf, nor can they be corrupt and corrupt, but But it can easily affect the livelihood and livelihood of ordinary people."
"For example, they put stolen goods in your house and then knock on the door to search for them; or they go to the shop or workshop where you work every day and cause trouble by name; or they instruct the scoundrels to go to your house every night. There is so much noise and foul language. No one can bear it."
"Do you know about the Wufang children in the palace?" Jiang Tian then gave an example: "They specialize in raising eagles, falcons, hawks, harriers and other raptors and hounds to prepare for the king's hunting needs. However, most of the people who serve are not eunuchs. , but people in the market who have unique domestication methods, but do not have quotas and food and clothing."
"Under such circumstances, how do you think this person should make a living? It's nothing more than borrowing the name of someone in the palace to bring food and clothing to the people's homes. Or setting up a net in front of the door, no one is allowed to come in or out; They can't go away if they ask for money or material things. Or they get together to eat and drink in a restaurant, and then leave drunk and full."
"Then, if the shopkeeper presses, he will leave a bag of poisonous snakes and birds as pledge, saying that the offerings collected under the order must be well maintained by the shopkeeper; if there is any mistake, he will need to pay a heavy price for compensation, not to mention the customers who make a daily living. Come to the door. Until the shopkeeper apologized and begged again and again, he took it away."
"It turns out that the world outside the palace is still so difficult, and those ordinary people still have to endure such hardships." The girl couldn't help but murmured to herself: "Are you so humble and insignificant in the face of power? Is this the truth that sir wants me to see and understand?"
"Yes, that was the case at that time." Jiang Tian nodded and said: "I just want you to understand that what you see in front of you is just the capital, which is the best place maintained by the power of the world; as for the people in other places, they will only look at each other. It is more difficult and difficult than before, but it is still maintained from generation to generation."
"No matter how much suffering and oppression life brings, as long as there is still a breath of life left, you can continue to bear the burden for yourself and your family; take every day of your life seriously, and try your best to get extremely meager benefits from it. A little fun and solace.”
"Of course, I am not asking you to give up the cover of power. It is not shameful to use it to deal with those malicious calculations and plots; only those who abuse their power bully others and take pleasure in the pain and suffering of others without any reason. , is the real way to die."
"Because any use of power has corresponding costs and repercussions; because the basis for all rights originally comes from violence, but it is ultimately expressed in different forms; either the force represented by the sword, or the It is the wealth represented by money and silk..."
While they were talking, the surroundings of the carriage became more and more noisy; more and more vendors were walking in the market, carrying small baskets, baskets, and bottles, and they were constantly approaching the carriage, chasing after the wheels. Behind them, there were loud praises and shouts, hawking their own goods;
"It seems that we have arrived at Dongshi." Jiang Tian laughed again when he saw this: "This is also where the capital's various industries and products from all over the world are most abundant; if nothing else, you can Here we can get a glimpse of the economic structure that keeps the world running."
However, not long after, there was a dense sound of gongs ahead; and the crisscrossing flow of people also faintly converged in one direction. Later, outside the wealthy archway in Dongshi, a large platform was erected with rows of flags and flags.
There are not only the Buddhist Yamantaka and King Bishamon, but also the Taoist flags of stars in the sky, as well as some legendary long-legged Haechi and other mythical beasts; there are also mixed discussions among the people: "The execution at Dongshikou is !” “Today is the Ghost Festival, and the executions are unknown!”
"The Ministry of Punishment would actually choose the day of the Ghost Festival to hold a public Autumn Judgment? Isn't it necessary to give eye drops to Zhang (Wen Guan), the minister who stayed in the capital?" Then Jiang Tian said in an understatement: "I want to No, let’s go around it! It’s still too early for you to do this kind of thing.”
"No, Nunu wants to see with his own eyes the true emotion shown when a human being faces death;" The girl showed a determined expression, and reached out to hold the lying figure with her kicking paws. Jiang Tian begged softly: "Sir, can you please help Wan'er?"
"Are you sure? It is difficult to face death and trying to escape death, which is the normal state of most people in the world." Jiang Tian was a little surprised and said: "You are still young, and you have not seen more beautiful things. , a sudden confrontation can easily leave psychological shadow and trauma.”
"Ever since, sir, I have learned that Nunu may die in the future." However, the girl smiled with a sad smile: "Nunu just wants to try it out in advance to see if he has the ability to withstand it... "(End of chapter)
