Li Xiang and Bilardo couldn't help but look behind them.

A two-horse wagon was seen coming at a record-breaking super-high speed, and the panicked driver, holding the reins, looked apparently out of control of the horse.

The merchants who had been concentrating on bargaining in the market had to suspend trading and avoid the unexpected crisis to save their lives, so they all scattered.

Where the carriage passed, there was a mess, all kinds of goods were knocked all over the ground, and the merchants were all sad and angry, and while insulting, they picked up their own goods from the ground.

Seeing this, Li Xiang and Bilardo didn't think much about it, only one word "flash".

Since Birado was a soldier, he was more or less skilled, and he easily avoided the crisis.

At this time, the two horses were already crazy to the extreme, and they didn't want to kill a few people, so they "swore not to be horses", and they continued to accelerate and galloped towards Li Xiang.

The will to survive made Li Xiang run as hard as he could, looking back from time to time, the two-horse wagon was closely following behind him, and it was getting closer and closer to him, because after all, his physical strength was really limited, like a machine running out of fuel, running slower and slower.

Seeing that the two-horse truck was about to crash into Li Xiang.

Li Xiang couldn't help but scream: "Help! ”

At this moment, I saw a person jumping down from the side roof, falling beside Li Xiang like a "dragonfly dotting water", and picked up Li Xiang at lightning speed, and then stepped on the horse's head, borrowed the horse's strength, crossed the entire carriage, and landed firmly on the ground.

A woman with a heroic spirit hugged Li Xiang and staged a wonderful scene of "a heroic woman saving a handsome guy", which attracted countless cheers from everyone.

This made the woman a little embarrassed, so she had to let go of her hand in a hurry.

Because before, when Li Xiang was held by a woman, he also hugged the woman tightly, although he was separated by clothes, he could still feel the woman's graceful and good figure, so he recalled the mysterious slave girl who had the same good figure that night in the temple, and this woman's "light skills" were so good, I had to let Li Xiang think that this woman was the mysterious slave girl, so he said: "Are you her?" ”

The woman hurriedly turned her face sideways and said, "I don't know what you're talking about?" ”

"Whether you admit it or not, I want to thank you for saving me again and again."

The woman didn't say anything.

Li Xiang continued: "If you hadn't made a secret move, I would have been beaten to death in Shengdena, and even if you didn't die, you would definitely be seriously injured." ”

"Rome is full of dangers, be careful, I can't be by your side every time."

Li Xiang said excitedly: "I knew you must be the one who is!" ”

"Anyway, take care of yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, I will."

"Then I'm leaving."

Li Xiang wanted to keep the woman, but the woman made a light effort and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Pilardo trotted from a distance, panting and weak, and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, fortunately you are safe." ”

"Fortunately, a woman rescued me just now, otherwise I would have become a 'revenant under the horse'!"

"Brother, you are a 'divine envoy from heaven', so how can you die so easily?"

Li Xiang thought to himself: That mysterious slave girl actually saved me twice today, otherwise I would definitely be more than lucky! In this way, the gamble that night saved her life was definitely an extremely cost-effective 'business', because it was exchanged for people's hearts for people's hearts.

"Ahh A scream came from a distance, interrupting Li Xiang's thoughts.

"Ouch!" Bilardo was surprised and said, "It seems that something is going on over there!?" ”

"Let's go, let's see."

***

In the large market, all kinds of imported spices such as pepper, cloves, cumin, etc. are scattered all over the ground.

Li Xiang and Bilardo trotted in.

I saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground, convulsed a few times, vomited a large mouthful of blood and died.

In front of the corpse, there were more and more onlookers.

After a while, a middle-aged woman squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers.

As soon as the middle-aged woman saw the corpse lying on the ground, she cried out like a heartbreak, threw herself on the corpse, and cried out the man's name.

From the miserable cry of the middle-aged woman, I learned that the man lying on the ground was the husband of this woman, and today was the first day to go out to do business, and he suffered this catastrophe, and even the money for selling spices was still borrowed, and how should orphans and widows live in the future.

Onlookers are unlikely to do anything other than cast sympathetic glances.

But Li Xiang said indignantly: "Go and settle accounts with the owner of that carriage." ”

A young hawker said, "It seems that you are an outsider and do not know anything about us here? ”

"'Inside'?" Li Xiang frowned.

The young peddler continued: "The horse-drawn carriage that went crazy just now is a special wagon for the richest man of the Hidulla family to transport salt, and this has happened more than once today. ”

Li Xiang was very angry and said, "What about the richest man? Can you do whatever you want if you have money? He is not responsible for the death of his carriage? Causing chaos in the entire market, as well as the losses of you people, is it over? ”

An elderly hawker said, "Who is Sidula? He is the 'cash cow' of the patriarchs, and who can touch him! We inconspicuous little people can only dare to be angry and dare not speak! ”

The young peddler said, "Even if Sidulraken loses money, how much can he lose?" ”

"Is there a human life lying on the ground?" Li Xiang said.

The young peddler said: "'Human life'?! We are all 'rural hukou', and the price of a life is not much higher than that of a slave. ”

Li Xiang was shocked, "What? 'Rural hukou'? He looked at Bilate.

Bilardo nodded and said, "Rome divides citizens into four classes and six classes according to the amount of wealth, and only those with a wealth of more than 100,000 sesters can apply to the Ministry of Household Affairs for promotion to 'urban hukou'. ”

"What is the difference between an 'urban hukou' and a 'rural hukou'?" Li Xiang asked.

"There is not much difference in normal times, but now this special situation is very different."

"How?"

"The same carriage hit and killed people, and the different categories of household registration led to a 40-fold difference in the amount of compensation."

'What?' Forty times'? So exaggerated? ”

"So what the peddler said is not wrong at all, because it is a 'rural hukou', and the price of a life is not much higher than that of a slave."

"That's not fair!"

"It's been like this for hundreds of years, and no one seems to think it's unfair?"

"Just because people are poor, even their lives are cheap?" Li Xiang said angrily: "This is simply a fallacy within a fallacy, a fallacy within a fallacy!" ”

The elderly hawker said: "If anyone can change the current 'two-tier household registration system', it will be regarded as a minimum of fairness for us poor people." ”

Li Xiang thought to himself: What can I do? Just out of kindness, to pay some money to comfort the family of the deceased? Or through his current status, he will strive to change the original unfair policies and systems, so that more people can benefit from them? So, the world's most famous self-talk began to echo in my heart again, "To be or not to be?" that is the question", maintain or change? Same problem!
