The performance in the animal taming hall is definitely new to Zhu Wenkui, and he has never seen it in the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

Those beasts that were once feared and regarded as ferocious by the world, the lions, tigers, bears and leopards performed one after another under the command of the whips of animal trainers.

"Beasts would be so obedient?"

Holding on to the railing of the platform on the second floor and looking down, Zhu Wenkui didn't understand, but the guy who was guarding on the side introduced it: "Don't look at these beasts, they are big and scary, in fact, they were trained when they were cubs, so after so many years of taming, compared to the cats and dogs raised by ordinary people, they have long lost their wildness in their bones." ”

Looking at it quietly, looking at the lion tiger known as the king of the jungle and well-behaved like a pug, Zhu Wenkui suddenly sighed.

"Everything has a spirit, turning a beast into a domestic animal, I'm afraid it has been a lot since I was a child."

After Ma Ling glanced at it a few times, she also felt a little bored, and the audience who applauded and applauded around made her feel disgusted.

"It is because these people are willing to see that these beasts have indirectly suffered. It's cruel to turn a tiger into a dog. ”

Ma Ling, who is naturally chasing freedom and yearning for freedom, really doesn't like this kind of picture.

"I can't imagine now what a terrible thing it would be if one day my father was forced to marry a husband and locked in a deep house without leaving the door."

This sentence just said to Zhu Wenkui's heart, and he sighed.

"Yes, you and me, in the face of major events in life, how can we have the opportunity to really call the shots."

Looking at these well-behaved and tame lion tigers, at this moment, Ma Ling and Zhu Wenkui thought of themselves for some reason, and they were full of feelings.

If the goshawk breaks its wings, is it still called a bird?

Chen Zhao and the others who were sitting around didn't know how to answer, so they had to be silent with their eyes and noses.

On the contrary, in a stand next to Zhu Wenkui and others, a man who was leaning on the railing to watch turned his head sideways and snorted disdainfully.

"You have a bodhisattva's heart, and your tube is quite wide."

"Bold!"

"Presumptuous!"

Several brocade-clothed guards shouted, and even Chen Zhao and the others were frightened.

On the contrary, Zhu Wenkui raised his hand disapprerovantly, waved back a few Jinyi guards who took a few steps forward, and was about to find this man's trouble, and asked a funny rhetorical question.

"Is there something wrong with what the contemptible man said? Or is there something high about this brother? ”

Ma Ling's temper was even hotter, and she stood up and stared at the man who was talking wildly: "This girl wants to hear what ivory your dog can spit out of his mouth." ”

"Presumptuous."

There were also a few guards standing behind the man, and when they heard Ma Ling's rude words, they were immediately annoyed, and they all drank in unison, which suddenly made the atmosphere above the platform tense.

This scared the guys on both sides enough, and they couldn't stop thinking about not fighting, but their legs were completely frozen, and they couldn't move away at all.

This man was in his thirties, and he was not annoyed by Ma Ling's scolding like this, but just smiled contemptuously.

Raising his hand, he motioned for the guards behind him to step back and spoke.

"What is there to worry about these beasts, they have lost their freedom and nature, but they have also gained stability and a full meal, and they do not have to worry about hunting and starving all day long, let alone being hunted by other, more ferocious beasts.

Losing and gaining are always relative, I see that you two are not very old, but you have a noble bearing, which means that there are officials in the family.

Go back and ask Ling Zun, whether it is good to be an official, how many lies you have to say against your will every day, and how many different masks you have to wear.

Even we can't live the way we want to live, but we still have the leisure to feel sorry for these beasts? ”

Zhu Wenkui suddenly felt his cheeks tingle, and his heart was shocked.

It's a good sentence that even we can't live as we want to live.

Unlike Zhu Wenkui's silence, Ma Ling was even more disdainful and ridiculed each other.

"You are talking ignorantly, my father is really not as hypocritical as you say, he is a hero who stands up to the heavens and the earth, and he does things rightly.

This girl has also lived recklessly since she was a child, and she really doesn't look at other people's faces. ”

"Huh." The man didn't bother to respond to Ma Ling, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Wenkui.

"Brother Tai's words can be described as deafening, and he dares to ask Brother Tai's surname."

The man stood still, and then turned his head back.

"Don't have your surname Li, it's not worth mentioning just a thin name."

The man surnamed Li went back to his seat to drink, and Ma Ling cut off: "So it's mysterious." ”

Zhu Wenkui didn't speak again, turned around and looked at the venue again, his eyes deep in thought.

Just now, Zhu Wenkui saw these tamed lions and tigers and instantly thought of himself, and suddenly began to feel distressed, in fact, where did he feel sorry for these lion and tiger beasts, what he really felt sorry for was himself.

Sighing, Zhu Wenkui sat back in his place and was stunned.

Ma Ling looked puzzled and asked.

"What's wrong with you?"

Isn't it just a paradox, as for making Zhu Wenkui so distracted?

"It's nothing, keep watching."

Zhu Wenkui subconsciously answered, and then found that Ma Ling stood up.

"What's there to see, I'll go first."

Looking at the back of Ma Ling's decisive departure, Zhu Wenkui was a little lost, and Chen Zhao came over beside him.

"Your Highness, shall we continue to watch?"

"Look, why not."

Zhu Wenkui raised the tea bowl and drank it all.

The performance continued, and looking down again, Zhu Wenkui didn't feel that he had too many feelings, and it was rare to see a lot more pleasing to the eye, but his eyes would glance to the side from time to time to see the direction of the man surnamed Li.

The lion, tiger, bear and leopard are certainly mighty, but after all, they are fierce beasts with low IQ, and the highlight of the beast taming hall is always on the last monkey show.

But this monkey play made Zhu Wenkui's face change greatly.

I saw a few animal trainers put some trivial parts into the venue, and poured some melons and fruits and the like, and then drove a group of monkeys in.

One of the monkeys, under the guidance of the trainer, assembled the parts with his bare hands, and soon assembled them into a simple wheelbarrow, on which he rode proudly.

When the other monkeys saw this, they chirped and screamed, and then picked up the fruit on the ground and sent it to the monkey riding on the wheelbarrow, with a gesture of recognizing the monkey as the king of monkeys, which was very respectful.

While the monkey king was enjoying the offering, an animal trainer stood on a carriage and entered, and the monkeys were so frightened that they fled in all directions, and the monkey king rode a wheelbarrow slowly and leisurely, and was soon caught up by the carriage.

The beast trainer stood on the carriage, raised his whip and struck him a few times, and all of them were whipped by the Monkey King's side, causing the Monkey King to scream in fright.

But no matter how fast it pedaled, it was no faster than a four-legged horse, and at last it jumped off the cart, sat on the ground and cried, and knelt in front of the carriage, and kept defeating.

There was a burst of laughter in the animal taming hall.

But soon, another wave of angry rebuke erupted.

The innuendo flavor in this play is too strong.

It also made Zhu Wenkui's face extremely ugly.

First of all, the Monkey King assembled a unicycle and enjoyed the respect of the monkeys, which is an allusion to the academician of the Academy of Sciences who invented the bicycle.

This matter was reported back then.

Then there is the entrance of horse-drawn carriages, which is a clear allusion to the traffic situation where bicycles occupy the road.

In the end, the monkey king was constantly beaten and reprimanded, and he had no choice but to leave the wheelbarrow and kneel down to apologize.

"Invent a useless bicycle and deserve the respect of others? The most hateful thing is that these bicyclers are scurrying on the road, and they deserve to be killed when they let the frightened horses. ”

A few pot-bellied wealthy businessmen spoke wildly on the platform on the second floor, while most of the people sitting on the first floor were civilians, all of whom raised their heads and scolded when they heard the words.

Under the war of words, the anger is getting stronger and stronger.

In the end, there was a fight!

The guards of the wealthy merchants and most of the civilians on the first floor fought fiercely, and finally it intensified, and the entire beast taming hall was in a state of anger.

The movement here soon attracted the patrol of the judge, and two teams of officials rushed in to stop the scene.

One of the catchers went upstairs, intending to ask a few wealthy businessmen about the situation first.

"Yo, Chairman Li, you're here too."

It turned out that he saw the man surnamed Li who had spoken to Zhu Wenkui and others before.

The title of chairman is basically unique to the Federation of Industry and Commerce.

After saying hello twice, after the head-catching eyes swept over the position of Zhu Wenkui and the others, he was stunned at first, and his complexion suddenly changed.

"Tongzhi-sama."

This shout, even the man surnamed Li was stunned, he had only seen Zhu Wenkui at the guardrail before, and he really didn't look inside, and the lights on the second floor were dim, so he really didn't pay much attention to it.

I didn't expect this fellow official of the Beijing government to be there.

Chen Zhao coughed and stood up: "Don't look at me, this is the new prefect of our Beijing Mansion and the deputy of our Hanlin Academy, His Royal Highness Wen Kui." ”

The Lord God is here.

At this introduction, Director Li was stunned, and several guards beside him sat on the ground with weak legs.

But Da Ming has several His Royal Highnesses Wen Kui.

Just now, they scolded the eldest prince?

The head catcher was even more panicked, and his waist bowed three points deeper: "A team of the Patrol Office of the South City of the Inspectorate is seeing His Royal Highness Jin An. ”

Zhu Wenkui had a calm face, looked at the entire beast taming hall that had been under control, and snorted coldly.

"Get all the people back to the Judge's Hall."

"Yes."

The head catcher snorted, and just as he was about to leave, he heard Zhu Wenkui speak behind his back.

"Including the shopkeeper of the beast taming hall and the showmanship, take them all back."
