Leaving that miserable world and walking into the illusory world, the closer he got to the false prosperity, the more worried Zheng Guang became, the false prosperity is built on peace, and once the peace is lost, this false prosperity will be punctured in an instant, just like the city of Suzhou, which howled miserably in blood and fire seven years ago. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It must not be the first time, and it must not be the last, last time, Zheng Guang lost his parents and grandfather, so next time, what will he lose?

Sighing softly, Zheng Guang felt a little hungry, and saw a stall selling wontons not far in front of him, so he stepped forward, intending to eat a bowl of wontons.

sat down at the table and asked the store for a bowl of wontons, but before I started eating, I heard a somewhat familiar voice behind me: "I will definitely be able to pass the exam, and the list will be released in half a month, and then I will look at it again, it's not too late, why are you so anxious?" ”

Then a rougher voice sounded: "Don't think we don't know that your kid has been assigned to the stinky number, and you can still pass the test in that state?" Forget it! That's the debt owed by your parents, it was originally agreed to be repaid a year ago, and now it is postponed for you for another year, and you will pay it back when you raise people in the scientific examination today, our second master is kind-hearted, give you this opportunity, you yourself are not lucky, who do you blame? ”

Another rather gloomy voice echoed: "Boy, I advise you to recognize the situation clearly, and now, hand over your family's thirty acres of ancestral land, it's enough, we don't want more, but you have to drag it, and drag it for a few more days, but it won't be twenty acres of land that can be made up, then you have to add a few taels of silver, do you think you can make up for it with a poor sour show?" ”

The familiar voice seemed to be a little excited, and the voice became a little louder: "You thieves, I am a showman, I have a meritorious reputation, even if I am a magistrate, you can't do anything with me!" Besides, what about the stinky number, I can still write articles! ”

The gloomy voice seemed to be quite disdainful: "Yo, Xiucai, who is rare, don't say that my second master is already a lifter, and he will be a jinshi soon, my uncle is an official in the capital, you are a poor and sour talent, what can you do?" It's nice to call you fair, but it's hard to hear, what are you a sour talent? Stinky horn, stinky horn, you still want to turn the sky upside down? Beautiful you! Listen, it is natural to repay debts, even if this lawsuit is fought in front of the emperor Lao'er, we are justified! ”

The rude voice began to threaten: "Give you three days to think about it, after three days, if you are still obsessed, don't blame us, the note can be in our hands, black and white, you can't deny it!" ”

The familiar voice began to tremble, and gradually became low: "It's too much...... You've gone too far...... I only borrowed ten taels of silver from you, and it was only a year, and you actually asked for a hundred taels ...... In your eyes, there is no royal law! ”

The rough voice sounded again, and the words were full of mockery: "Wang Fa?!" Hahahaha! Xiao Xiucai, let me tell you, Wang Fa, can only control people like you, can't control people like us, Wang Fa is just talking about playing, talking and listening, seriously, that is, you poor ghosts, in this world, as long as you have the right and money, Wang Fa, it's just a joke, this sentence doesn't charge money, I'll give it to you for nothing, master! Think about it, little Xiucai! Let's go! ”

Zheng Guang didn't hear the two disgusting voices sound, just now they were talking, Zheng Guang didn't look back, and now when he looked back, he was extremely shocked to find that he was sitting on the bench with a painful face...... Xiang Qing......

"Ziyuan!" Zheng Guang hurriedly stepped forward: "Why are you?!" ”

Xiang Qing obviously didn't expect to meet Zheng Guang here, and the whole person was stunned, and then suddenly startled, and stood up suddenly: "Teacher, senior brother?!" You, how did you end up here? You...... Just now...... That ......"

Zheng Guang thought of countless possibilities at once, thinking of Xiang Qing's actions and words before, and probably understood the ins and outs: "Are those two people from a big family?" ”

Xiang Qing's face froze, then he closed his eyes weakly, sighed deeply, and sat on the bench all of a sudden, covering his cheeks with his hands, silent......

However, Zheng Guang is more concerned about another thing, the stinky number that the two people talked about just now reminded Zheng Guang of the only one among the six stinky numbers who insisted on finishing the exam, could it be that person, that person is Xiang Qing? With such a question, Zheng Guang asked: "Ziyuan, during the exam, you were assigned a stinky number?" ”

Xiang Qing put down his hands, looked at the desktop with blank eyes, and said in a low voice: "Yes, God is joking with me and dividing me into a stinky number, he doesn't know how important this exam is to me, and he won't understand how those **** spend it." ”

Zheng Guang couldn't help but ask, "How can you endure that kind of taste?" Ordinary people are either in a coma or vomiting, they can't treat people at all, and generally speaking, students who are assigned to the stinky number will directly abandon the exam, you ......"

Xiang Qing continued: "Peasant children, in addition to studying, but also to do farm work, the grain and vegetables in the field must always be fertilized, human manure is the best fertilizer, that smell, in fact, I am the most familiar, sitting there, I remembered that at the beginning, my parents wanted me to study despite their physical weakness, when they went to work in the field, every time I couldn't help but want to stand up and leave, I thought of my parents, carrying the feces step by step...... How did I get out of here...... But...... Why did God treat me like this...... What am I doing wrong......"

Tears dripped on the table, Xiang Qing was speechless, since he came to the Ming Dynasty, he lived in a wealthy family, he did not worry about food and clothing, he was very well-off, he had books to read, and teachers to teach, so he gradually indulged in this kind of comfort and wealth, the smoothness of the imperial examination, and the progress of the plan, all made him very happy, and even almost forgot that this is a real, tragic world.

The previous slums, and now Xiang Qing, completely shredded the illusion in front of Zheng Guang's eyes, and made Zheng Guang understand what kind of world he lived in.

Zheng Guang is still very young, still very weak, still in the embryonic stage, and now he is not even a scholar, no status, no power, except for some fame, nothing, not a lot of money, the family business is not very big, the connections are not very strong, nothing is not very strong, enough to fight against the squire bullies, and the forces behind them, even if they can fight, they can help Xiang Qing, but just a Xiang Qing, what is the use?

From the small to the big, land annexation is a big trend, Xiang Qing is just an example, his tragic fate will change because of his own intervention, but what about the rest, the rest of those who can't be seen by themselves, those who can't be touched, those who are equally miserable? Their suffering, their tears, who cares?

For a moment, Zheng Guang didn't want to do anything and left gloomily.

However, if he did this, what difference would he have with those squire bullies? Is the good faith imposed bad faith, and the good faith of omission not bad faith? It's not that there are many bad people in this world, but that good people are too silent, so that everyone has the illusion that the world is declining and people's hearts are not ancient.

If everyone can show a little courage, a little bit of strength, together, it is also a huge force enough to shock anyone, if everyone can fight against the injustices they see in front of their eyes, then all the injustices in the whole world can be eliminated......

Even if Zheng Guang knew that this was just his arrogant fantasy, and this was something that could not really happen, but did he really have to give up the oath he made and the bottom line he decided to adhere to?

No, never.

Zheng Guang stretched out his hand, held Xiang Qing's hand tightly, looked at him seriously, and said, "Ziyuan, go home with me, bring some things, and take me to you to see those two people, I will definitely keep your whole family safe!" ”

Xiang Qing was stunned, his expression froze on his face, and the tears that had not fallen were still being pulled down by gravity and falling on the table.

Xiang Qing suddenly remembered that Zheng Guang was born in a wealthy family, his family was rich, and maybe he was powerful, if Zheng Guang was willing to help him, then, no matter what, there was hope......

Can...... Such a self...... Why did Zheng Guang come to his aid? The strength of the forces behind those bullies is far from what he can imagine, Zheng Guang's family is rich, and he himself is just a showman, although it is very likely to be successful, but even if he is successful, what can he do? At most, to protect himself, maybe, it will have a bad impact on his future career, for a person like himself who is not a friend, how can Zheng Guang pay such a price?

"The forces behind those bullies are not something we can afford to provoke, Senior Brother is kind, Qingxin has taken it, but in any case, Senior Brother can't be involved, Senior Brother still has a great future, you can't be affected for people like Qing, if so, Qingwan will be to blame, Senior Brother, farewell!" The light of hope in Xiang Qing's eyes quickly disappeared, and when he turned around to leave, Zheng Guang grabbed Xiang Qing.

"What is the difference between me turning a blind eye to your suffering for the sake of my own future and my own compromise with a bully? I swore that if I became an official in the future, I would make some compromises for what I wanted to do, but I must stick to my heart, stick to the bottom line, and never let the last line of defense fail, if I don't see it, it's just that, because I don't know, but now I know, if I know and turn a blind eye, then what is the heart, what is the bottom line!

Xiang Ziyuan, this time, not only for you, but also for me, in the future, you and I will be officials, it is inevitable that we will encounter conflicts between conscience and future, at that time, I don't know how we will choose, but now, I know, I choose conscience, what about you? What do you choose?! Is it humiliation, or rebellion? ”
