Chapter 41: Folk Customs~
"That bastard didn't have his belt on, revealing your little? Talk to Lao Tzu Mom, hurry back to your mother's arms to breastfeed~" The man laughed after speaking, took out a golden cake from his arms as he spoke, and it was still at Hu Shang's feet without looking at it.

"This is the money I gave, don't say that I am a Tang man who deceives you." Laughing when he spoke, several servants around him were also holding their arms and laughing on the side, and they really didn't see Li Chengqian's eyes looking towards the other side of the street, how could there be a frame in it, the frame was not gorgeous, but the one pulling the car was indeed an authentic black-maned horse, probably seeing Li Chengqian's eyes, the curtain moved slightly, and the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, playing with the master~
"This business is about your love and my willingness, I am trading with Hu Shang, Your Excellency first stepped in the front, insulted your parents and followed, dare to ask Your Excellency, is your mother still alive?"
Greeting other people's mothers, Li Chengqian is the first time to do it even in two lifetimes, the implication is very simple, he scolded Li Chengqian for being the thing under a man's crotch, and Li Chengqian did say that he had a mother to raise but not a mother, and at first glance, he couldn't hear what Li Chengqian meant, and the big man was not stupid, knowing that Li Chengqian was scolding him, he stretched out his hand to beat him, but when he saw that the guard just now pulled out the knife in his hand and pressed the man under him.
At this time, there was a cold snort from the frame: "It's okay to be a gentleman, King Xian?" I'll see how virtuous you are when I come today. ”
Before the surrounding servants could react, seeing that their master had been taken down, and just about to come to the rescue, the other guard was like a tiger into a wolf pack, first kicked the guards who ran over, and then raised the horizontal knife high, and smashed it towards the other person's head, the person couldn't dodge, and the unsheathed horizontal knife smashed firmly on the man's shoulder, only to hear a click.
The servant let out a terrible scream, and then lay on the ground with his shoulders covered, and cried desperately, and the guard struck a powerful blow, and was so strong that he could not let anyone go, and drew the horizontal knife in his hand and said to the servant who was holding a wooden stick in his hand: "Armed officer, are you going to rebel?" ”
At this time, there was already a group of people around, all pointing and looking at the servant, the servant looked left and right and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, knowing that if he didn't run, he was afraid that he would not have a chance for a while, so he threw the wooden stick and fled into the distance.
"Your Highness, do you want us to help, if it spreads at this time, I'm afraid it will be bad for His Royal Highness's reputation."
The person who spoke was Fang Xuanling, originally Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had been forced out of Chang'an by Li Jiancheng's people, but at this time they had already escaped back, Li Er came to pick him up on this trip, but he didn't expect to see this scene on the street.
"No, this kid is doing too well, just give him some lessons, and we'll take action when he can't handle it."
This is a very simple plan, there is a group of people around the surroundings, many of whom have just come over when they saw the guards make a move, Hu Shang wiped his sweat on the side and made amends to Li Chengqian, and the person who took out the gold cake just now was looking at Li Chengqian on the ground, so a scene is easy to make up the picture in people's minds.
A little boy with a guard took a fancy to Hu Shang's goods, and wanted to ask the man who was pressed on the ground, but the man didn't give it, and the boy in brocade was annoyed and angry, and began to shoot horizontally, and looked at the little boy next to a beautiful man, I was afraid that he wanted to win the favor of the beautiful man to do such a thing.
Sure enough, someone in the crowd who only listened shouted: "It's amazing to be an official now, not to mention beating people on the street of robbing goods, but also stabbing and hurting people, it's amazing." ”
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth, and the sinister smile on the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth was even worse when he watched the person on the frame walk down.
The man walked into the crowd, the man was about thirty years old, wearing a brocade robe, with a golden hairpin on his head, his eyes looked at Li Chengqian coldly, and the man who was pressed on the ground saw the man coming over, laughed and said, "Boy, see that you are not dead this time." ”
The man first smiled gloomily, and then when he saw Li Chengqian, he pretended to be very frightened: "Oops~ This is not His Royal Highness King Xian, the villain's family is not sensible, please don't blame Your Highness, please don't blame Your Highness." ”
As soon as he bowed down and saluted, the surrounding people instantly let out bursts of exclamations.
"Haya~ It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Xian, hearing is false, seeing is believing, let's see the real person."
"That's it, let's see Your Highness."
Saying that everyone bowed in unison, the etiquette of the prince had been done, and these arrogant Tang people instantly recovered their Diao people's nature, haha laughed wildly, although they didn't dare to say anything more, but the irony in the smile could indeed be heard. Say sour words and laugh for a while, what can you still sue me for disturbing Wang Jia?
Li Chengqian was not moved, but stood up straight and listened to the ridicule around him, and he already hated it in his heart, looking at the man in the brocade robe, his heart was already full of murderous intent, if it weren't for the neighborhoods around him who didn't know the truth, Li Chengqian really wanted to cut that person with a thousand knives.
"It's not like this, it's not like this, it's the white wolf we fell in love with first, and then this person came over and bought it for six hundred yuan without saying anything, and Hu Shang didn't agree at that time." Yan Yan was already getting anxious, and there were faint tears in her eyes, she had never experienced such a thing.
"Yan Yan, you go back first, it's good to have me here." Li Chengqian gently patted the back of Yan Yan's hand and glanced at the guard, the guard wanted to step forward to take Yan Yan, but unexpectedly Yan Yan grabbed Li Chengqian's sleeve and said: "Yan Yan doesn't leave, it is because of me at this time, if I didn't see the white wolf, there would be so many things." I'll have to explain it clearly. As he spoke, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
Li Chengqian was stunned, she was only a seven-year-old child, and she was still a girl, in the middle of this kind of ridicule by everyone, if she was an ordinary person, she wished she had left early, and she just cried with some fear.
"You go back first, I'm here." Li Chengqian tried to repeat the sentence just now, and what replied to Li Chengqian was only Yan Yan kept shaking his head, firm, and persistent, although his eyes were dotted with tears, but his eyes did reveal that unshakable firmness, this firmness made Li Chengqian's heart warm, and then nodded and said to Yan Yan: "Look how I punish this bastard." He didn't pay attention to the man who saluted him, but asked the man who was kneeling.
"How much money did you pay for this white wolf?"
The man sneered and said, "Six hundred guan~"
Li Chengqian turned around and asked Hu Shang, "Then what is the original price of this white wolf?" ”
Hu Shang was about to cry, and this kind of thing happened today, but when he heard that this kid was the prince, he didn't dare to slack off and said: "Yes~ It's three ~ three hundred!" ”
Li Chengqian smiled, looked at the people around him and asked: "Fathers and elders, although Chengqian is small, he still knows some things, is that bastard bastard dare to say that he is idle and has nothing to do to buy a piece of goods at double the price?" ”
Seeing that the people around him lowered their heads, they then turned their heads and asked the person standing there and said, "Is that you?" ”
The man was originally improvised, the plan was not thorough, and he was dealing with a child, and he didn't go much, and now it was a dead end, and his eyes were deeply lowered with a trace of remorse and killing intent, and he looked down at the man on the ground and scolded: "Bastard thing!" The one who lost me still does not apologize to His Highness! ”
The people on the ground obviously didn't expect this to happen, so they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Chengqian: "The small ones don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, and the little ones don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, which disturbed the king, and asked His Highness to atone for his sins." ”
The man standing glanced at Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian slowly shook his head, reached out and picked up the wooden stick on the ground that was dropped by the servant, and kicked over the kowtow man.
"Ahh~ Big brother, big brother don't move~Ah~~" I only heard a click, and the wooden stick smashed on the man's leg, the force was so great, just a stick to beat the man's leg and deformed, the man who was triumphant just now was holding his thigh and crying bitterly.
The man threw a stick and bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "Is Your Highness satisfied?" ”
Li Chengqian looked at the man who fell to the ground and kept crying, with a sneer in his eyes, he must be ruthless in punishing such a person, the sneer in his eyes was erased in an instant, and he was replaced by a compassionate look, and hurriedly walked to the front of the man, looked at the man and pointed at the man and said: "You are ruthless with him, this person just scolded the king a few words, the king is magnanimous, and he has shaked his head to say that he will not be punished, how dare you discount his thighs!" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to what Li Chengqian wanted to do, he heard Li Chengqian say to the people around him.
"The surrounding villagers, this matter "Wu Dege" has long been judged, insulting the prince is just the last of the ten evils, at most thirty pounds, a fine of 100 catties of copper, this person is arrogant and unreasonable, and he actually discounted this man's legs."
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Li Chengqian asked the man loudly: "Who are you, how dare you poison the next time!" ”
Li Er had already laughed outside, looking at where his son was pretending to be crazy and stupid, the ninja laughed and shouted loudly: "He is the steward of the Qi Palace, and his name is Yang Lianting Slut!" ”
Defeated captives and convicts and their families and their descendants were generally treated as slaves and served in the government, and their household registration was directly managed by a certain department, so these untouchables were called official households.
There is also a kind of miscellaneous household outside the official house, which is also the descendant of the crime and confiscated into the official government. The status of the miscellaneous household is one class higher than that of the official household, and the status of the slave is two classes higher than that of the slave and maid, but it is still a pariah, lower than the good people. In addition, there are some untouchables called post households, camp households, music households, sage households, and stove households. The post household is a person who was assigned to the post station for service because of the escape of relatives committing a crime, the camp household is a household that is forced to migrate to engage in construction, and the happy household is a criminal relative who is assigned to specialize in art and **** personnel, that is, today's entertainers and *** households are fishermen who have lived on the water for generations in the southeast area, and stove households are households that specialize in burning salt.
In addition, there are some untouchables who are called degenerates, including prostitutes, beggars, shaved heads, carried sedan chairs, preached, and so on. What people don't know is that tenants and servants are also untouchables. Perhaps the largest number of untouchables were slaves. Their status is the lowest, and their status in the law is merely property.
And Yang Lianting is the brother-in-law of King Qi, and he is also the steward of the palace, although he is usually majestic, but he was a real slave at that time.
Li Chengqian heard a somewhat familiar voice, but he didn't pursue it, but looked at the man who fell to the ground and kept crying and said, "You are also a pariah? ”
The man shook his head, and then Li Chengqian stood up and said: "Wu Dege" once said that there are ten evil crimes, one of which is evil rebellion, beating a brother with a brother, and beating a noble with humility is considered a bad rebellion, this is a serious crime of ten heinous crimes, 800 miles in prison, and 50 rods!" Come on, press these heinous people to the capital official province, and this king will personally ask for the guilt! ”
The laws of the Tang Dynasty said that "slaves and maids are cheap, and the law is better than animal property", and "slaves and maids are the same as wealth". It can be seen that the status of untouchables is low, and the sluts who scolded people in later generations did not mean that they were untouchables, but that they were untouchables.
Such cases are generally taken over by Chang'an County, and Li Chengqian directly suppressed the capital and province, which is also telling the person in front of him that he is dead.
However, Li Chengqian looked at the people around him in a blink of an eye, and a sneer appeared in his heart, the anger just now did not subside because of the heavy punishment given to two people, and said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, Chengqian handled it impartially, do you have any complaints?" ”
The people around him bowed their heads in shame, and the folk customs were simple, how could they think of what Li Chengqian, a black-bellied man, wanted to do.
"The virtuous king is discerning, and I will wait for my respect."
Li Chengqian pretended to be embarrassed and said to everyone: "Wu Dege" once said that those who insult the superior will be punished with ten rods and ten catties of copper. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief, but the Tang people were simple-hearted, since they had made mistakes, they should be punished like this, and they were just about to leave, only to hear Li Chengqian say again: "But the punishment of ten rods and ten catties of copper is too heavy, this king will make an exception, only punish you for three, not copper coins, just hope that you will not sit and help the abuse in the future, if you are a baby with an uncertain heart, your words today, I am afraid that it will take that person's life~"
Everyone is you look at me, I look at you, and then bow to Li Chengqian and say, "Write more about the magnanimity of the prince." ”
Li Er had indeed gone far, and when he looked at the situation in the distance, he laughed again, and said to Fang Xuanling: "Have you seen this kid's ability?" ”
Fang Xuanling did shake his head and said to Li Er: "Cheng Qian's methods are naturally very sharp, but I also saw some other things. ”
Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling suspiciously, only to hear Fang Xuanling smile and say, "In ancient times, Jiang Shang painted the ground as a prison. Today, there is a virtuous king who ordered the people to personally receive the punishment, and the people's customs are like this, which is really heartwarming. ”
Li Er watched a group of people walk towards the Yali of Chang'an County, his eyes also showed a hint of appreciation, he looked at his son who was wiping Yan Yan's tears in the distance, and said with a smile: "I am fortunate to watch this scene today, I am also fortunate to have three lives, and I am fortunate to have three lives~"
