"Don't get excited." Gao Yang stretched out his hand and took Zheng Xiujing into his arms, pursed the corners of his mouth, and explained in a low voice, "This era is like this. These women marry and obey their husbands, and their husbands die according to their children. Husbands and sons are the heavens of women. In this era, women who have been divorced have almost no social status to speak of, and they will be extremely despised. She also has no choice now, and her husband's failure is her bad fate. You may be angry, but this is the kind of universal morality that is present in this era. ”

"Huh~~~" Zheng Xiujing raised her hand to cover her forehead, her face full of anger. After thinking about it, he stomped his feet hatefully, turned around angrily and went back to the tea shed and sat down.

As a woman who grew up in modern time and space, it is indeed difficult for her to understand such a thing that has no human rights at all. As a woman, perhaps the feeling is more profound.

"Hmm." Gao Yang shook his head slightly with a silent expression. retracted his gaze, squinted his eyes at Liu Siniang, and said indifferently, "Since you have interceded for him, then you will be exempted from the death penalty." ”

Liu Siniang suddenly looked overjoyed, and wanted to salute Gao Yang in a panic. But the boy frowned instantly. He had read his father's books before they were sold. It is clearly written in the book, and there is another sentence behind the avoidance of capital crimes, living crimes cannot be escaped!

Sure enough, Gao Yang's eyes fluctuated slightly, and after hooking the corners of his mouth, he continued, "However, what he did made me very angry, and I also felt very embarrassed." As a punishment, let the criminal department send someone to give him a whip every day and give him a wake-up call every day. ”

Gao Yang's last sentence was said to the guards on the side. This is still for the sake of that boy being a weak scholar. If this is a strong person, it will at least start with three whips.

The whips used for execution in this era were all specially made, and the people who beat them were also practiced. Throwing it on people's bodies is definitely a heart-piercing pain!

"And." Gao Yang paused, raised his eyebrows, looked at the little boy, smiled, and said, "Send their family to Jingshi." Let this kid go to the academy to study. If he can successfully graduate in the future, let him learn to become a criminal officer. Provide relief to this boy before he can support his own family. ”

"Yes. Commanded. The guard on the side responded.

"Well, it's getting late. Let's find a place to try the specialties here? Gao Yang turned around and came to Zheng Xiujing's side, took her hand and walked outside. What happened in this tea shed was nothing more than a trivial matter for Gao Yang. Turn around and she'll forget.

As for Liu Siniang's family going to Beijing, that child has to be whipped every day. What should the shopkeeper Zhao and his followers do with being dragged away like dead dogs. What happened to the second housekeeper in the Wei Mansion and so on. Naturally, someone will take care of these things. Gao Yang only needs to mention a beginning and make a judgment on the matter.

If Gao Yang had to ask about everything, then he would either be exhausted to death, or he would not be able to do anything else.

......

In the distance, the sun was sinking in the west, and the clouds in the entire sky were rolling, reflecting a brilliant light like blood and fire.

An inexplicable, unclear meaning wafts through this ancient city. As night gradually fell, there began to be a painting boat on the Qinhuai River to drive slowly. The delicate painting boat is hidden in the fiery red sunset. It is like a beautiful palace floating in the sky.

The quaint brick and wood buildings on both sides of the road on both sides of the Qinhuai River have a timeless atmosphere. There are various trees planted on both sides of the road. On the Qinhuai River, the painting boat drifts with the waves, and occasionally you can see the boatman or the delicately dressed fireworks woman appearing on the bow of the boat.

Gao Yang casually looked at the surrounding scenery.

Vegetable farmers or vendors on both sides of the road hurrying to pack up. Call friends, young handsome people who are ready to go to the painting boat to drink flower wine. Unkempt beggars who squatted in the corner to catch lice. There were also poor people in ragged clothes, with empty eyes, who had put a straw in the back of their necks and sold themselves.

Jiangning Mansion is already a very rare and prosperous city in this chaotic last days. But in fact, under the floating light of extreme prosperity and singing and dancing. There are also beggars everywhere.

As for those displaced people who have drifted from other places and have no food and clothing, they beg in groups to make a living, and it is not uncommon to sell their children and daughters. When you can't eat. That sense of desperate fear is enough to make many people give up their affection and sell their children.

Of course, there are many wealthy families here in Jiangning Mansion. If the homeless people who have no food and clothing can sell their children into a wealthy mansion and become a servant or something. In the future, they can mix up food and clothing, which can be regarded as a good thing for their children.

The fireworks industry in the area of the Qinhuai River is extremely popular. The prettier poor girls also had another place to go.

In the future, if you can learn poetry and singing in these fireworks places. The old bustard is also well-managed, and maybe he can become a famous prostitute who sells his art but not his body. If you are lucky, you may marry into a wealthy family and become a concubine. This is really a good way out for these people who are about to starve to death.

Of course. It's extremely difficult for this to happen. The vast majority of people are just barely able to survive. After all, living in the world today is a luxury.

"Why is this happening?!" Zheng Xiujing, a foodie who was in a good mood after enjoying an original special dinner, looked at the children on both sides of the road who were kneeling on tattered straw mats with empty expressions and numb faces. Madoka has big beautiful eyes. He muttered in disbelief on his face.

For Zheng Xiujing, who was born and raised in the bustling city and the modern time and space where universal morality is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I haven't even seen this kind of thing in a TV series! It's unimaginable!

What can Gao Yang say? All he could do now was shake his head silently.

Gao Yang, who grew up under the red flag, had also never seen such a cruel reality before. It's just that he has traveled in various time and space over the years, and he has seen too many tragic stories, too many. At this moment, his heart was already difficult to touch.

He also wants to help these people. However, there are too many of them. He won't be able to help in a short period of time!

For Gao Yang, it is not wrong for him to first form a strong army and give priority to eliminating all internal and external troubles. National stability is the source of all tragedies. In the case of trying not to stimulate the stability of the space-time channel, even he can only do it little by little.

"It's almost there." Gao Yang stretched out his hand and stroked the face of Zheng Xiujing, who was pursing the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of sadness and pity. Stretching the corners of his eyes, a confident smile flashed in his bright eyes, "Trust me, everything will be fine soon." ”

Zheng Xiujing looked at Gao Yang suspiciously.

"Now the internal and external troubles of the Ming Empire are almost solved. After exterminating Zhang Xianzhong and sweeping away those kings from all walks of life who sit in the well and watch the sky. It is a matter of large-scale restoration of economic production. I will increase the material support. Gao Yang didn't tell her that after settling down in the country, he would set his sights on the whole world and prepare to start the world colonization journey that belonged to the Eastern civilization. This kind of man's work, women don't need to know.

Even if the Ming Empire didn't colonize the whole world, no one would be grateful to them. If Daming doesn't do it, some people will do it!

"Okay, the meal is ready, let's go back?" Gao Yang ignored the strange gazes of those in the distance. Holding Zheng Xiujing's shoulders, she said with a chuckle.

"I want to go there." Zheng Xiujing puffed out her mouth, and a sly light flashed in her bright eyes. Stretched out his hand and pointed to the Qinhuai River, which gradually began to be noisy.

Gao Yang turned his head in astonishment and looked at the lights on the rippling Qinhuai River, which were extremely gorgeous. I couldn't say anything for a while.

......

"Hey, hey~~~" A flattering voice came to the bone, "The two sons really make the slave family wait~~~"

Gao Yang and Zheng Xiujing shivered almost at the same time. This voice is really ......

"Ahem!" Gao Yang raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed twice, and quietly stepped forward to protect Zheng Xiujing behind him. He smiled and said softly, "Find a private room and serve a few exquisite side dishes and fine wines." Let your red aunt here come over and play a tune. Don't ask for anything else. After speaking, he pretended to be from the cuff, but in fact took out an all-fresh red and silver ticket that had already begun to circulate in the Jiangnan area from the storage space and handed it over.

The old bustard, who was over forty years old but still graceful, had a bright eye, and with the speed that Gao Yang's eyes couldn't see clearly, he quickly took the bright red silver ticket. Greedily put it under his nose and sniffed the charming smell.

"The two sons are moving in quickly. Our Mingyue Boat is the best painting boat on the Qinhuai River. Our daughter's piano skills are the best in Qinhuai River! The old bustard, whose eyes were narrowed into a slit with a smile, hurriedly led the way in front and brought the two in.

That's a hundred taels of silver!

I don't know whose rich son brought a rich lady dressed as a man here. This generous gesture made the old bustards who were used to seeing the market slightly distracted.

The old bustard had never seen Gao Yang before, and Gao Yang's accent sounded like a northerner. The old bustard regarded him as a rich man from the north. Of course, this kind of rich man who has a lot of money is going to be easy to get by.

As for Zheng Xiujing. After living in this kind of place for so many years, which one has not developed a pair of sharp eyes? Who can't see her simple outfit?

"Humph!" Zheng Xiujing, who was following behind Gao Yang, wrinkled her delicate nose and raised her hand to make a gesture behind Gao Yang. He whispered, "Do you often come to this kind of place?" Things are going so smoothly?! ”

Gao Yang's footsteps paused slightly, and he shook his head with a wry smile, "I want to find a woman and use it here?" It's all learned from watching TV. ”

"Hmph." Although I know that Gao Yang is right. But as Gao Yang's wife, Zheng Xiujing's dissatisfaction is inevitable.

Sometimes, it's not a good thing for a man to be too good. (To be continued, please search, better update faster!)
