Chapter 50: Tragedy
There were too many people and too crowded, so the family of four still didn't see the most exciting sprint, only knowing that the first place was the Xinyue Teahouse, which was said to be the royal son of the big boss behind the scenes.
Moreover, this Xinyue teahouse is really wealthy, and the reward obtained is placed on the dragon boat, slowly rowing along the moat, and throwing a whole box of silver naked children towards the shore, causing the onlookers to rob.
So, with the screams and the sound of falling water, I don't know if they were squeezed down the river or jumped to the bottom of the river to pick up the silver!
Being rich is so capricious!
Bai Qingshuang secretly sighed and despised these people who were selling their reputations, and took Bai Yao's hand when the crowd had not yet surged to them: "Dad, mother, let's get out of here quickly, so as not to be squeezed into the river by them later!" ”
A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and Bai Qingshuang generally doesn't care much about the pie falling from the sky, because it comes at a price.
For example, the excited screams turned into tragic wails and the sound of falling into the water that did not stop, and the crew on the dragon boat laughing wildly as if they were watching a play.
Contemptible rich people, have never taken human life seriously?
The family retreated in time, and was not crowded by the money-hungry people who were swarming behind, but they also stumbled several times and were almost knocked down by people who heard the wind coming from elsewhere.
"It's not easy to make money, so I'm so eager for other people's money!" Escaping to the pergola, Bai Yao looked at the people who were almost crazy, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm afraid that this silver is not easy to take!" Bai Zhihong frowned and looked at the crowded people who were moving along with the dragon boat not far away, and then looked at the spacious temporary grandstand road with a wide field of vision prepared for the dignitaries, "Look, aren't those nobles sitting in the stands watching this 'big show' with relish?" ”
"Therefore, who took the first place and threw silver at the ordinary people watching on the roadside, which is about the after-entertainment program they were already preparing?" Bai Qingshuang gritted her teeth and asked.
Under this feudal system, is the life of the common people so low?
But how can this only blame the cruelty of those in the upper class, and more people living at the bottom of society can't love and respect themselves?
No! It cannot be said that if the society were fair and just, the gap between the rich and the poor would naturally not be so large.
It is precisely because of such a social environment that the people who are oppressed at the bottom will ignore the lives that have fallen one by one for the sake of that silver naked.
"What the nobles think, it's not something we can speculate!" Bai Yao sighed, he couldn't bear to look at the moving crowd anymore, and he didn't know whether the bodies that fell after the moving crowd were dead or alive, so he didn't look over and said, "Let's go home first!" ”
"Good! Let's go! Bai Zhihong also retracted his gaze, and took Bai Qingfeng and Bai Qingshuang's hands with Bai Yao's respectively, leaving this place that was supposed to be a celebration.
It's not that they have no regard for human life and are unwilling to help those who have fallen, but that they are powerless.
Bai Qingshuang forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and followed Bai Yao's step by step with heavy steps, but she still couldn't help but look behind her, those were all fresh human lives! How can they? How can it!
"Let's go, Frost, don't look at it! There is no place for us to help! Bai Zhihong gently stroked her head and urged her.
"Hmm!" Yes! She has no ability, no ability.
In her previous life, she was neither a doctor nor a nurse, and she didn't have a powerful golden finger like other heroines who traveled through the text, and she could do her part in such a dangerous moment, she could only watch those weak people in the crowd fall one by one, and life and death were uncertain.
Her small fists were clenched into fists, her nails pinched in the palms of her hands, but she couldn't feel the pain.
Suddenly, from the direction of the city gate, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, trampling on the ground like a drum, stirring people's hearts and shaking with it.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The six princes arrived, and the idlers avoided at a fast pace! There was a loud shout in the sound of the horses' hooves, and the horses did not mean to stop.
On top of a white horse that led the way, a young man was dressed in a golden crown, his face was as heavy as frost, his eyes seemed to carry a lot of anger, and he galloped like the wind, and soon disappeared in front of everyone who Bai Qingshuang and others were retreating aside.
Behind him, dozens of horses galloped past and rushed towards the commotion.
"Oh my God! What are they going to do? Is it to wash those people into the river? There are also people who, like Bai Zhihong's family, have never been attracted by silver and fell into a scramble, covering their mouths and whispering.
On a May day, although the weather is warm, the river is still cold, and if this large number of people are pushed down, what will happen?
"Don't guess, the six princes are generous and benevolent, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing that loses their conscience!" Someone immediately refuted, "In my opinion, the Six Princes will definitely come to stop this farce!" ”
"That's right, the sixth prince is the prince who is the most sensitive to the people's hearts and has won the people's will, and he will definitely not be so cruel and unreasonable." Someone else echoed, and then pointed ahead excitedly, "Look, the sixth prince stopped the horse and stopped!" ”
A few people looked in the direction of the man's finger, and saw that the six princes and the others had already stopped beating their horses, and the attendant with the oversized throat was shouting with great strength: "The people on the dragon boat obey the order, immediately stop throwing silver taels, otherwise, they will be sent to the yamen immediately for punishment!" The people on the shore obey the order, stay where they are and do not move, and do not trample on human life again, or they will be punished for the crime of contempt for human life! ”
The man's voice seemed to penetrate people's hearts, and immediately shook the field, and the people on the dragon boat stopped even if they didn't see who ordered them to stop.
The people on the shore did not know whether it was because the people on the dragon boat no longer threw silver coins or because they were shocked by the sound, and they really stopped squeezing and stampeding.
The people who were originally watching the excitement in the stands, but at this time, as if they had done something wrong, they retreated one after another, leaving only the person in charge of the office at this time, Jing Zhaoyin and the director of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, who could not avoid it, waved a handful of sweat, grovelled and hurried over, and bowed respectfully in front of the horse of the six princes.
The afternoon sun shone on the young man's upright body, making his whole person even more tall and tall, his handsome face was as dark as frost, his eyes swept sharply over the frightened and lowered heads of the two people under the horse, and asked in a deep voice, "Whose idea is this?" ”
On the side of the moat, there was almost no meaningful murmur in the silence, yes, although the voice of the six princes was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly.
"Is that him?" Bai Qingshuang couldn't help but be stunned, and her familiar voice made her stare at the heroic figure riding on a tall horse in the distance.
