Chapter 8 The road is uneven
The night in Yangzhou County is extravagant.
But that's just the surface.
Truman had just walked out of the door for a thousand meters, and beggars could be seen everywhere on the roadside.
If it weren't for the deterrence he brought after he captured hundreds of prisoners that night, a large part of the beggars everywhere would turn into thieves and robbers.
And once some of these whispered people.
The phenomenon of bullying of all kinds has also begun to appear.
Not far away, I saw a rich boy in brocade clothes followed by seven or eight guards, holding a scantily clad woman, yelling at a beggar next to him, and kicking him hard from time to time.
None of the passers-by dared to come forward to persuade them.
Naturally, they recognized the identity of this rich boy, and they were afraid of getting into trouble, so they couldn't wait to stay away from here.
The only mercy is that they themselves did not suffer from this scourge.
Since Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, the people of the Great Jin Dynasty have lived and worked in peace and contentment, without war, and people's lives have undoubtedly been better.
But people who live better are people who live well.
And people who are not doing well, they may not be able to seize the opportunity when they have it, or because of ability, maybe because of lack of money, or because of laziness.
So as a result, only a small number of these people who were not doing well in the past crossed the dragon gate, and many more people are still not doing well.
As a result, the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer.
Of course, the above words are only limited to Yangzhou County, and Chumen in other counties dare not make rash comments.
The gentry in Yangzhou County have turned into moths, and the bandits outside the county are hungry wolves.
No able-bodied person can withstand the gnawing inside and outside.
Not to mention this already crippled Yangzhou County.
As a result, the pot that led to its incompleteness must be carried by the court of Yangzhou County.
The inaction and corruption of the court will always be an important reason for its current situation.
Before Truman could speak, Li Lianyi behind him had already rushed out.
Truman originally didn't want Li Lianyi to come with him, but he really couldn't get rid of Li Fansheng's kindness.
Looking at Li Lianyi who rushed out, Truman sighed and followed.
He didn't want to worry about this kind of thing.
Because if you want to completely solve this phenomenon of bullying, it does not mean that it can be completely solved by solving this one individual.
In Yangzhou County today, this kind of bullying is everywhere.
It may have helped him today, but in the future, it may bring him even worse revenge.
When Truman approached, Li Lianyi had already knocked the rich boy to the ground.
The rich boy also knows some kung fu, but in front of Li Lianyi, he can't make two moves, and the guards behind him are even more paper-like, and they will fall down when they touch it.
How to say it, this Li Lianyi is not good in other aspects, but his martial arts are quite satisfactory to Trumen.
How could the downed rich boy not be angry, he fell to the ground, and still said unrelentingly: "You.... Do you know who I am? If you dare to beat me, my father will not let you go. ”
The excitement is naturally indispensable for people to gather, and after a while, a large number of people gathered here, surrounding Li Lianyi and them in the middle.
But the crowd didn't speak, but there was a hint of pity in their eyes.
This pitiful gaze was looking at Li Lianyi.
Apparently they knew what kind of revenge this girl would suffer for messing with this rich kid.
Li Lianyi smiled faintly and said disdainfully: "Oh, who is your father?" ”
The rich boy had already been helped up by the guards, he pointed to his face and roared hideously: "Let me tell you, you are dead, my father is Chen Pinli, the richest man in Yangzhou County, and my uncle is the prince of the dynasty, if you beat me, I will behead you all over the house!" ”
When Truman heard this, he couldn't help laughing in his heart, the richest man in Yangzhou County? This kid is self-proclaimed, and he is not afraid of the dissatisfaction of the other three families when he says this.
Prince? Truman remembers.
Remembering the six-year-old kid crying and asking Truman to marry his aunt away, Truman thought it funny.
After Trumen was admitted to the list, His Majesty the Emperor gave marriage to the eldest princess of the dynasty and the emperor's own sister.
At that time, the prince made a lot of effort to let Chumen marry his aunt as soon as possible.
Not only did he come to play with him every day, but he also brought him a lot of things to play with.
Later, this kid got an aphrodisiac out of nowhere, and he unknowingly put it in his aunt and Truman's dinner.
After a night of wind and rain.
The results can be imagined.
The eldest princess was furious, and the entire Forbidden City was restless.
In order to escape his anger, he and the little prince hid in the dog cave for three whole days.
In order to find these two people, the eunuchs and soldiers in the palace turned the palace upside down, but they still did not find it.
There was no food or water to drink for three days, and then the two of them were so hungry that they walked out on their own.
The little prince is okay, after all, the only son of His Majesty the Emperor, the eldest princess can't do anything to the prince.
But that's where Truman's nightmare began.
The eldest princess, who was inexplicably taken away for the first time, vented all her anger on Truman.
All kinds of punishments, all kinds of poisons, and so on, were used on him, and when he was dying, they revived him and then applied them to him.
......
Every time he thinks about the past few months, Truman's body shuddered unconsciously.
Later, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't stand it, so he transferred Truman to this Yangzhou County, which is far away from Kyoto.
It can be said that Truman became the county magistrate of Yangzhou, and this little prince accounted for the main reason.
As for the rich boy who said that the prince should read with him, maybe it was because it had been too long, and Truman didn't remember a few names after thinking about it for a long time.
After all, the prince has read too much.
There are more than a dozen companions in each of the six arts, how can you remember it clearly.
The words of the Chen family's son also angered Li Lianyi, and her body turned into an afterimage, and she came to the former in an instant.
Li Lianyi had already pulled out the long sword and put it on the neck of the Chen family's son.
She said slowly: "Oh, the Chen family is so amazing? Chen Pinli is so amazing? If you want to hit someone, you can kill someone, and if you want to kill someone, you can kill someone? ”
Where was Chen Gongzi put the sword on his neck, his legs trembled, and sweat was already pouring out on his forehead, he motioned for the guards to move, but the guards dared to move.
After all, his son's net worth and life are already in the hands of others.
No one dared to step forward.
No one in the crowd dared to speak.
A large street was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.
Therefore, some small sounds can also be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
"Li Catches Fast ......"
"Li catches fast? It turned out to be Li Zhukuai......"
It can't be blamed that people only recognized Li Lianyi at this time, after all, she was accompanying Chumen out to buy clothes today, so before leaving, under Li Fansheng's repeated pleading, she changed into a white dress.
I have to say that the difference between Li Lianyi after changing into a skirt and Li Lianyi who is dressed in a fast costume is too big.
Less harsh, more soft.
Li Fansheng also looked at it carefully many times when he saw it, so that he could be sure that this woman was his sister who quarreled with him every day.
Truman didn't even recognize it.
