The general clasped his fists with both hands and arched: "I don't know what His Highness and the commander command." ”

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go out of the palace today, it will be up to you to protect His Royal Highness the Prince." The eunuch ordered.

"The contemptible king is willing to go with His Royal Highness the Prince." Wang replied.

Tian Jian bowed slightly: "I'm going to bother you today." ”

………

Walking out of the palace wall, Tian Jian felt a different place from the depressing and solemn inside the palace wall.

Tian Jian looked at the people who kept coming and going in Linzi City, and sighed in his heart, Daqi, Linzi, today is finally going to see the grand occasion.

However, to Tian Jian's surprise, people in the past were all high-crowned and broad-banded, and few people wore short clothes.

"Wang Yu, why are everyone outside the palace walls wearing gorgeous clothes and accessories, and there are few people in the wilderness." Tian Jian was puzzled. (During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chinese, savages, and savages were generally outside the city.) ）

The king's muffled chatter finally opened, and said, "Your Highness, this is outside the palace walls, not to Guocheng, where there are many wild people. ”

"Oh?" Tian Jian nodded.

After a short time, Tian Jian and the others finally arrived at the castle, which was indeed very far from the outside of the palace, and the smell of horses, cows, and sheep dung wafting in the air was disgusting.

However, it is indeed a bustling place, with people on the streets and a constant stream of noisy shouting.

Tian Jian shook his head and smiled: "I remember that Yan Zi once said to the King of Chu, 'Qi Zhi Linzi has three hundred Lu, Zhang Yuan has become yin, sweating into rain, and he is side by side, what is no one?' Today I know the prosperity of my Daqi Linzi. (There are 300 Lu families in Linzi, the capital of Qi alone, and when they open their clothes (sleeves) together, they can cover the sun and darken the sky, and if they sweat together, they can converge into rain.) On the street, people are crowded shoulder to shoulder, and their toes touch other people's heels, how can it be said that there is no one in (Qi country)? ）

After hearing this, Wang Xiao next to him sighed.

"Why do you sigh?" Tian Jian was puzzled.

Wang Xiao shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness doesn't know that the prosperity of Linzi twenty years ago is not comparable to today, today's Linzi is like a dying old man with white temples, although there is the glory of the past, but it is already sunset. Twenty years ago, the Yingdu of Chu, Handan of Zhao, Xianyang of Qin, and Liang were less than one-tenth of Linzi, but now, Linzi's prosperity is only the middle! ”

Tian Jianqi said: "Have you ever been to Wei Zhiliang? I don't know if I've ever drunk Wei wine. ”

Tian Jian's heart was full of expectations, during the Warring States period of the Wei State, Wei Ying, Pang Juan, Han Feizi, etc. all drank Wei wine and talked about the form of the world, which is heartwarming to listen to!

"I have indeed been to Daliang, but Wei wine, His Royal Highness can taste it from Linzi, and there is no need to go far to Wei." Wang replied.

Tian Jian smiled when he heard this, and said: "Of course, Wei wine is best drunk in Weidi, just like a phoenix only falls on the plane tree, even if Wei wine is delicious, you can't drink the taste of Wei wine when you arrive in Linzi." ”

"What His Highness said is extremely true!" Wang Xiao bowed his head and replied.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

"This girl, I didn't take your things, how can you say I stole it?"

When Tian Jian heard this, he said to Wang Xiao: "I'll wait to see him." ”

When I walked to the place where there was a noise, I found a woman just pulling at the hem of a man's clothes, and the two were arguing.

After listening to Tian Jian, he roughly understood the reason for the quarrel between the two, the man was walking on the street with a piece of cloth, but the woman grabbed the man and said that the man stole his cloth, and the cloth still had her surname on it. However, the man denied it, saying that he had bought the cloth cheaply from a friend for a knife coin.

After a while, two officials came over and said, "What are you waiting for, squeeze together." ”

When the woman saw the official coming, she loosened the hem of the man's clothes, and Ying Ying bowed and said: "Two officials, the little girl is the Lu family who sells silk in the north of the city. ”

The two officials nodded and asked the man, "The Lu family said that the silk you took was lost by his family, I don't know what you think." ”

The man straightened his torn clothes before he said: "Contemptible people have always behaved rightly, and they have never done such a thing as a chicken and a dog thief." ”

The two officials stared at the man carefully, found that the man's clothes were shabby, and said, "You are wearing shabby clothes, it's not impossible to have such a possibility." ”

The man blushed, stared at his tattered clothes, and said, "The despicable would rather starve to death than steal." Thou shalt spread rumors again, and I will accuse thee under slander. ”

Tian Jian nodded when he heard this, since the crepe was jealous and sarcastic about the king of Qi, the matter of slandering wood has prevailed in the Qi country, and the Qi country has been ruled for a while.

(King Qi Wei said: Those who can stab the wrongdoers of the widow in the face of the ministers will be rewarded; Those who write to admonish the widow will be rewarded; Those who can slander and ridicule the city and hear the ears of the widowed will be rewarded. ”）

But something unexpected happened to Tian Jian, and the two officials were furious when they heard this: "Xiao'er, dare to sue me, the time of the king has long passed, you used the order law of a hundred years ago to threaten us and others, and today I want you to taste the taste of whips." ”

When the man heard this, his face flushed, and he was speechless for a while.

When the two officials had finished speaking, they removed the leather whip from behind their belts, and waved it in their hands, intending to hit the man.

At this time, Tian Jian motioned to Wang Xiao with his eyes and asked him to solve this matter.

Wang Xiao saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him to do this, and his heart was suddenly excited, and it was indeed exciting to draw a sword to help when he encountered injustice, not to mention that it was still in the Warring States Period when the chivalrous spirit prevailed.

Wang Xiao immediately took the whip that beat the man.

The clerk pulled back hard, but he didn't expect Wang Xiao to not move at all, but he fell to the ground due to inertia.

"Oops." The officer shouted bitterly.

"Who are you who dare to stop the official errands, do you want to be imprisoned in prison?" The officer threatened.

Hearing this, Wang Xiao smiled coldly, slapped the leather whip in his hand on the official, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here today, I, Wang Xiao, will see who dares to lock up His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince." The onlookers were surprised, looking around for someone who might be the prince.

Tian Jian also walked up to the two officials under the protection of many plainclothes guards at this time and said, "I asked you to beat me, are you not convinced?" ”

The two officials resigned, "Yes." ”

Tian Jian took a deep breath and said: "The two of you have three crimes, one is not knowing right and wrong, and framing others. The two slandered the king, is it true that my Daqi decree is not passable, villains are all over the court, not to mention others, Anping Jun, who saved me Daqi in danger, is still there, Yaqing Wang Sun Jia is also a virtuous minister, and so on, all the sages gathered, what is wrong with my Daqi slandering the wood, the third abuse of lynching, I Daqi thirteen laws, I remember that none of them are allowed to be bullied by officials on the street! ”
