The spring breeze is slow, and the willows are still there.

Kyoto's bustling streets, pedestrians, picturesque scenery, shouting and shouting one after another, the scene is not lively.

At this time, it was noon, the carriage arrived at the heavy and majestic city gate, and eight forbidden army guards, dressed in pitch-black standard armor, held halberds majestically, and carefully guarded both sides of the city gate, as if they saw the carriage of the Guogong Mansion passing by, and had driven the residents in and out to both sides.

Many of the villagers who wore coarse cloth clothes and had loyal and honest faces went to the city to catch the market, and many of them still stood on the edge of the city wall with their heads bowed and carried their baskets, waiting for the carriage to pass by, as if they were accustomed to this scene.

There are also many students, laughing and laughing in and out, although they deliberately avoid the carriages and horses, but they do not have the panicked look of ordinary civilians, the folding fan is gently shaken, and the romance is fully revealed, and they are quite surprised to look at Zhao Xian who came out.

It was not the first time that Zhao Xian had entered here by car, but he had been thinking about his own affairs in the carriage before, and he had not cared about the scene outside the car window.

If it was just the fathers and villagers who entered the city ordinarily, they were a little afraid of the carriage of the Guogong Mansion, but it would not attract his attention, this era is like this, even if modern high-ranking officials pass by, they still have to close the road to show that they are noble and different, there is no difference between ancient and modern, even if Zhao Xian doesn't want to, he can't change everyone's opinion.

He stopped because there were four or five eleven or twelve-year-old children in the crowd, with heavy iron shackles on their feet, and blood was gradually oozing from the friction of walking.

These children looked blank, and their eyes, which should have been dark, were empty at this time. stared blankly at the errand officer leading the way in front of him, skinny, as if he hadn't eaten a full meal for many years.

What happened to this group of poor children made the surrounding people frown, but most of the people had a little disdain in their eyes, and there were even a few spit on the good deeds.

Zhao Xian, who was still joking with Sister Su just now, his face gradually sank, he is not a nosy person, and he generally won't interfere if he doesn't figure out who is right and who is wrong, but a group of eleven or twelve-year-old children. What could be a big mistake? It was treated like this.

Zhao Xian walked over. Although several forbidden soldiers guarding the gate did not recognize Zhao Xian, the frame of the Guogong Mansion and the gorgeous robe of the loyal and brave man were obvious, and this person was probably the upstart of Kyoto. Uncle Zhao Xian.

The Forbidden Army immediately wanted to kneel. was stopped by Zhao Xian. He walked straight up to the officer who had locked up the children. Looking at the dents on the child's ankles, his back was numb, and he endured his breath and said, "Open the lock." ”

The two mustachioed servants didn't recognize Zhao Xian. However, on an errand at the feet of the Son of Heaven, his eyes naturally could not be bad, he lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The little Wang Wu has seen the adult." ”

Zhao Xian didn't help him, but squatted down and touched the face of the child in the lead, it was dirty and smelly, and there were a few whip marks on his body, and he didn't know how he was abused.

As if knowing that Zhao Xian's status was not low, fear flashed in the child's eyes, and he took a few steps back, not even daring to make a sound.

Zhao Xian didn't let Wang Wu get up, Wang Wu could only continue to kneel, secretly glanced up, saw Zhao Xian touching the heads of those children, and hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, these untouchables are very dirty, don't stain your hands." ”

"Untouchables?" Zhao Xian looked at a few eleven or twelve-year-old children, and was angry in his heart, but he understood a little bit of the reason, turned his head to look at Wang Wu, and said coldly: "Do you believe it or not, I can make you become the same as them?" ”

"Ah!!h Wang Wu was shocked, he didn't know that he had provoked this prince and nobleman, if he was demoted to a pariah, a man was a slave, a woman was a prostitute, and he didn't want to turn over in his life.

He fell to the ground in fright, and said loudly: "Small letters, small letters, you have a lot of adults, if the small ones inadvertently offend the adults, please be merciful." ”

Zhao Xian suppressed his anger and said coldly: "I asked you to open the lock, didn't you understand?" ”

"This ......" Wang Wu's face showed a little embarrassment, and Zhao Xian's expression was obviously to release these untouchables, but he had this power.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Xian, then bowed again; "My lord, these untouchables, the ancestors bullied the king, and were demoted to untouchables and enslaved forever, this is the holy decree of the first emperor himself, the small, the small ones can't open the lock."

"Slavery forever?" Zhao Xian's forehead jumped with green tendons. He had heard of such a punishment, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

Just because he offended the rights and interests of the emperor, whether it was right or wrong, he wanted his descendants to carry this heavy burden for the rest of his life, and he could not study, and could only engage in lowly industries such as prostitution and subordinates.

Zhao Xian is not from here after all, in his eyes, every life, when he just came to the world, is clean. Eleven or twelve-year-olds, what can they do wrong?

Zhao Xian grabbed Wang Wu's collar and carried him to him, the blood vessels on his forehead exploded high, and he said angrily: "I don't care who made the will, if something happens, I will carry it, you just let them go, and there are people like them, if you can't do it, I'll let you accompany them, what kind of life they live, what kind of life they live, what kind of life you live." ”

Wang Wu was frightened and frightened, secretly said that today is really a catastrophe, the emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, but he failed to pardon these sinners left over from previous dynasties, how could he release his power?

But the hero doesn't eat the immediate loss, Wang Wu thought about passing Zhao Xian's level first, and reported the matter to the top to solve it, he hurriedly bowed down and opened the shackles of several children.

"Are you really going to save these people? There are thousands of cheap lives left by generations of Daliang, how can you save them? A woman's voice sounded in Zhao Xian's ears, soft and ethereal, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making his mind move a little. If it were on weekdays, Zhao Xian would definitely take advantage of the situation to make a good fuss, but today, he lost that interest.

"As much ability as a person has, there is a great responsibility, I don't want to be nosy, but watching a few innocent children wear this shackle for life, I can't even sleep comforting." Zhao Xian gritted his teeth and snorted. There was a glint of anger in his eyes: "I'm not a good person, I've also killed innocent people, but every adult should be responsible for their words and deeds, they have a reason to die, and these are just children, they are only eleven or twelve years old, and they are slaves and slaves for life, Sister Su, if you are replaced, what will you do?" ”

Su Wanyun frowned slightly. said lightly: "They are pitiful. But have you ever thought that these ancestors turned their backs on the emperor and deceived the emperor and caused trouble to the court. To put it mildly, they did it themselves! ”

After all, Su Wanyun and Zhao Xian have different cognitions. Woe to the family. It's a joke in this day and age. Even in Northern Qi, it was common for people who offended the emperor to be relegated to pariahs and enslaved forever. What's more, Liang Liang, who has no feelings for her, this group of people who have been abandoned by society deserve sympathy at all.

Zhao Xian was surprised at first, then suddenly, he glanced at her, his eyes flashed a few traces of disdain, which was completely different from the previous smiling eyes, which was a complete disgust.

This kind of look appeared on Zhao Xian, and it was the first time she saw it, Su Wanyun's expression was cold, and she frowned: "What? Am I wrong?! ”

"You're right! It's this era that's wrong. Zhao Xian shook his head and sighed lightly: "In this ruthless era, cultivate you into a superb strategist who is high above and ignores the fireworks of the world, and tells you that the emperor represents justice and public trust, and all those who oppose the emperor are rebellious ministers and thieves, and their children and grandchildren should bear the emperor's anger." ”

These words were a bit rebellious, Zhao Xian deliberately pressed it very low, and only let Su Wanyun hear it alone.

Su Wanyun was furious and said angrily: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, you are not afraid of causing trouble?" 、”

"Nonsense? No, I'm teaching you, teaching you the most simple truth, you, and this court, this world, have never figured out the truth. Zhao Xian shook his head and sighed lightly, speaking like a storm, without showing any mercy.

Su Wanyun turned around and left, not believing that he could know the truth that the whole world did not understand, and was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

Zhao Xian watched her walk quickly, stretched out his hand and smiled slightly: "You don't understand at all what 'human' is." ”

Su Wanyun's eyes flashed slightly, slowly stopped, turned around and glanced at him, and said lightly: "What did you say?" ”

Zhao Xian looked at a few children who were freed, shook his head and smiled: "Am I not clear?" Sister Su, do you know what a person is? ”

Su Wanyun sneered: "You are human, and so am I, do you still need to ask?" ”

"And what about them?" Zhao Xian pointed to a few skinny children.

Su Wanyun pondered for a moment and insisted: "They are also human beings, but their ancestors are untouchables of the emperor who betrayed them, and they will be punished for breaking the law. ”

"." A chuckle appeared on Zhao Xian's lips, and he waved his hand disdainfully: "Let me tell you, the self-proclaimed Bodhisattva-hearted Su Da Fairy, people live in this world, everyone has their own ideas, everyone has their own life, and with their own life, they can truly become 'people'." ”

Zhao Xian pointed to a few children: "You said that their ancestors were traitors, but their ancestors were traitors, what does it have to do with them?" They were born as clean as we are, with their own ideas and their own lives, but because of the anger of a man a hundred years ago, they were deprived of everything. Many of them will never understand what 'man' is and what 'freedom' is, and they don't even have the opportunity to choose. To put it bluntly, they are not human beings in your eyes, they are just a group of pigs and dogs used to work, but they are all like us, they have families, relatives, they are poor worms forgotten by history, they are also the people of Daliang, no matter what mistakes their ancestors made, they should not be imposed on their descendants...... Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

Su Wanyun's face was full of consternation, obviously difficult to accept his words.

She regarded the orphans displaced by the war as her own children, which was out of sympathy, but the descendants of those who committed crimes did not deserve her sympathy, and if they made mistakes, they would be punished.

But Zhao Xian's words are not unreasonable, the Northern Qi secret guards are all orphans born due to the war, and she also grew up alone, thinking that there is no more pitiful person in the world than them. Listening to Zhao Xian's words, it made people can't help but think deeply.

Zhao Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, it is indeed a bit whimsical to talk about human rights with people now, even the good woman who is kind by nature and wants to take all the suffering people to her home to eat, she looks down on businessmen and prisoners, not to mention the cold Sister Su.

Zhao Xian had to grin and said, "Forget it, with your conceited temperament, it's understandable that you can't understand." ”

There was no need to think much about this, Su Wanyun's face immediately turned cold, glanced at him, and snorted: "You are a good person, why do you start saying bad things about me again?" Did I mess with you? ”

Zhao Xian said with a smile: "It's not that I said bad things about you, but I can't help but want to compare, you and Yijun are masters and apprentices, and Sister Liu is sisters and sisters." They should know each other well. Coincidentally, I have had intimate contact with the three of you beauties, do you know who I admire more in my heart? ”

Su Wanyun smiled slightly: "You have bad intentions for Yijun, you must appreciate her more, so I don't listen to your nonsense." ”

This woman is really smart, Zhao Xian laughed and said: "You are right, I do like Yijun more than you, but what I appreciate the most is Sister Liu, not because of bad intentions, as for the reason, alas, Sister Su will be angry when she hears it, so it's better not to say it." ”

Su Wanyun shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "You are really boring, don't you do something serious all day?" Don't listen to your nonsense, I'm leaving. ”

said to go, but Su Wanyun walked to a few children and used a handkerchief to clean up the dirty stains on their faces. Women, they are always a little curious, especially when she compares with her junior sister.

Zhao Xian shook his head and chuckled, and continued: "The reason is very simple, Sister Liu is as cold as you on the outside, but on the inside she is as gentle as water, always leaving the softest place in her heart to her own people, and even would rather suffer herself than bear to see the people around her sad, this feeling is touching and loving, she lives more really, more like a woman." ”

Zhao Xian's voice changed, and he said: "And Sister Su, you, are high and have a bamboo in your chest, and things are always above your feelings, just like the obscure books, tireless machines, difficult to approach, difficult to get along with, only insist on your own truth, because you are worthy of sympathy and sympathy, but you don't have that real feelings." With all due respect, except for your beautiful face, you really can't see any feminine taste in other places. ”

Zhao Xian said, looked at her not magnificent chest with a smile, and said with a righteous look on her face: "But you don't have to be inferior, how can you level the world if your chest is uneven, you are a strategist, it doesn't matter if it's big or not." ”

"You..." No matter how well Su Wanyun cultivated, she couldn't help but be angry when she heard him tease him like this in front of her: "You, you despicable villain, shameless, hooligan......"

"Sister Su, how can you scold people the same as Yijun, it turns out that she was taught by you." Zhao Xian grinned: "I'm immune to this, in fact, you can change the way, such as: Well, ah!" You're necrotic!! Don't do that...... Regarding this, you can humbly ask Yijun for advice, you teach her the things under the bed, and the things on the bed...... Yaoooo I was wrong, good men don't fight women, don't force me to do it..."

After ravaging Zhao Xian for a long time, Su Wanyun was shocked to realize that there were still people watching around, although she didn't hear the two of them clearly, but her movements were as good as she could.

Hurriedly stopped, she looked at her delicate hands suspiciously, and her face was full of disbelief. I have cultivated myself for so many years, and today I was provoked by him to be angry, this person is really shameless.

Su Wanyun was angry and anxious, stayed there, touched the ground with her toes, and disappeared at the city gate.

"Oh, young master, are you okay?" Virtue smiled cheaply, and only then ran over to rescue the driver and support Zhao Xian, who was ravaged enough.

Zhao Xian rubbed his severely painful waist and eyes, and ravaged Sister Su a hundred times in his heart, but hummed softly: "It's okay, the woman is just spilling, women have a few days a month, go back and clean her up, you don't have to worry." ”

Am I worried? Side's chubby eyes floated with Zhao Xian, with an expression that I understand.

Looking at a few children, as well as Wang Wu, who was submissive, Zhao Xian also knew that it was unrealistic to release all the prisoners, and he could save a few and save a few, so he said to Side: "Send these children back to the Guogong Mansion for resettlement, and I will go around the city."
