Along the outer wall of the incense temple, I walked to the back door after a while, and while the janitor was dozing, I cautiously slipped in.

The backyard was empty, I walked slowly along the corner of the wall, and after a while I approached the attic, and I could already hear the sound of warblers from the distance, laughing and panting, and there were some unbearable sounds in the middle, which made people red-faced.

I frowned, but I slowly walked to the corner and looked in.

I haven't entered the Qinglou, but I can also think of what an unsightly scene I will see, the attic is full of singing and dancing, the upstairs and downstairs are full of people in broad daylight, and there are naked women dancing enchanting on the high platform, which attracts the eyes of the men in the audience to look straight one by one, and some people are holding those disheveled Qinglou women, their hands and feet are not regular, and they laugh obscenely while drinking.

Looking at the smoky environment in front of me, my brow furrowed.

Liu San'er, he entered such a place.

What about others?

After watching for a long time, many rich people in the town have come here, and some of them have sons and sisters, and there are many beautiful wives and concubines in the family, but they still come to such a place to enjoy themselves.

Men, are they all like this?

With a hint of unwillingness, I also looked inside, but I never found Liu San'er's figure, and at this time my heart slowly sank - could it be that he had followed someone into the house?

As soon as I thought of this, my heart hurt like a needle prick, and I bit my lower lip and walked around the back wall room by room. Those windows were tightly closed, and they couldn't hide the sound of **** coming from inside.

Every time I hear one, my heart sinks.

In case, the next window came from Liu San'er's voice, that-

If...... If he really ......

Just thinking about it like this, my heart felt as if it had been crushed by a black hand, and my eyes turned white with pain.

I don't know how much pain I would have if that was the case, but I thought maybe there really wouldn't be any credible things in this world, some credible people.

Unconsciously, he had walked to the last window, could it be that Liu San'er was there?

Thinking like this, my heart jumped suddenly, I pinched my skirt, my palms were all sweaty, looked at the empty window, gritted my teeth, and walked over slowly.

Surprisingly, although the windows were hidden, there was no unpleasant sound, but the voices of many people could be heard talking in low voices.

I quietly walked over, looked at it, and was taken aback.

This room, according to a room, is also an ordinary Qinglou room, and the layout is very simple, but now, it is full of young men in their teens and twenties, all wearing simple cloth clothes, with some confused and ignorant expressions on their faces, but they are all fixed looking at this end of the room.

And at a glance, I saw Liu San'er.

He stood at the back of the crowd, in the closed doorway, but unlike the others, he was not wearing a long shirt, but a short dress for work, and carrying a teapot in his hand, but he did not do anything, and like everyone else, he looked fixedly at this end of the room, as if waiting for something.

My heart, which was beating wildly, slowly calmed down at this moment, he didn't do those things, he just came here to work, but then there was a little uneasiness.

Why is this room, and the people in the room, so strange, who are they looking at this side?

I couldn't see clearly because of the open window, and I was wondering in my heart, when I heard a young and firm voice say—

"What we're going to talk about today is 'faith.'" All of you know that people cannot stand without faith, and faith is the foundation of life for people. If a person has no faith, there is no place for him; If a court is not trustworthy, it will not be supported by the common people. ”

The person below immediately responded, "That's right. ”

"So, do you think that the emperor of today can be regarded as a person who believes in his word and an example for all the people?"

As soon as I heard this, my brows immediately furrowed, and I heard the people below gossiping: "The current emperor is a villain who has no word to be trusted!" ”

"That's right, if you don't behave properly, if you don't sit properly, how can you write a letter!"

“……”

Everyone is gossiping, you say a word to me, there are many discussions, I looked at Liu San'er, he didn't say anything, just looked at the person in front of him very calmly.

"Not bad." The man continued: "Take the current taxation of the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, the holy decree issued by the emperor in the south in the middle of the year has obviously reduced thirty percent of the taxes of the people in the south, and openly stated that agriculture is encouraged so that the people can recuperate; However, less than half a year after the emperor returned to Beijing, he began to collect a poll tax, which made the people in the south like stubborn stones and miserable. ”

"There is also the imperial examination, which was opened in Yangzhou this year, and all the gentlemen are people with lofty ideals who have been ambitious for ten years, and they only want to achieve fame, be loyal to the court, and do their best for the people; But how did the emperor do it? They took this opportunity to set up a clever name and extort extortion, can such a practice be called true to their word and set an example for all the people? ”

The people below immediately shouted, "Of course not! ”

"If we say that the people set an example, of course, we should do what is right and do it right. But is this the case with this emperor? All the monarchs must have heard that the edict of the first emperor was to order the ministers of the court to find the eldest son of the emperor who was separated from the heavenly family to return to the palace to take the throne. ”

"The current emperor, after the edict of succession was discovered, burned the courtyard on the outskirts of the capital, and burned the fourth son of the emperor Pei Yuanchen alive inside, and then led his troops into the palace, killing the sky dark, and forcing the virtuous and gentle prince of the heavenly family out of the capital; Then he imprisoned the Emperor Taishang in the name of being seriously ill, imprisoned his biological mother in the palace, and wantonly excluded dissidents, indiscriminately used the relatives of the harem concubines, and brutalized loyal ministers! ”

"Such an emperor, imprisoning his father, imprisoning his mother, forcing his brother, killing his brother, messing up the palace with swords, shaking the dynasty with cool officials, indiscriminately using relatives, and mutilating loyalty, can he be regarded as a virtuous emperor and a good emperor?"

Before he finished speaking, some people below had already applauded, and more people echoed and scolded loudly.

I stood under the window with a solemn face.

It's not the first time I've heard these words, when I was in the imperial study, I had seen them on the folds in the south, but I saw them and heard them with my own ears, so I really felt that every word was like a needle. Pei Yuanhao once said that he couldn't even shout a word of injustice, but now it seems that this is really the case.

But is this really the case?

I have seen those things with my own eyes, and even experienced them myself, although now it seems that it seems to be a matter of my previous life, but I know that many of the inside stories are not something that outsiders can explain clearly and clearly in three or two sentences.

The things of heaven are originally heavenly things, and mortals can only glimpse them when they look at them.

However, what surprised me a little was Liu San'er.

I didn't expect that he would come here to do chores, let alone that he was here to hear and solve his doubts.

Looking at him standing at the door, with a solemn expression, and the farmer and fisherman I was familiar with in the past, it seemed that they were completely two people, when he looked down and thought, the long eyelashes obviously covered his eyes, but I could see that there was a glitter inside, as if it had suddenly fallen from the sky into the clouds of the world, with a trace of fog, but there was a deeper light hidden in it.

Just waiting for the day when it will be set aside.

At this moment, I suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness.

He didn't betray me, he didn't do those things, and this joy came like a tide, but the tide was still mixed with gravel, like the palm of my hand grinding against a rough wall, and my heart was also grinding slightly.

I didn't expect that he was already walking alone, even to a distance beyond my imagination.

When I think of this, my heart is even more uneasy.

Almost subconsciously, I wanted to call him, but before the words could be spoken, a person's back suddenly appeared in front of me.

It was the same person who was standing at the end of the room, blocked by the window, preaching to everyone.

After just one glance, my heart rose to my throat.

The man's back was not tall, but of medium stature, his hair was tied up high, meticulous, and he looked extraordinarily capable, but the clothes he wore were what really surprised me—he was wearing a dark gown inside, slim and obedient, and a milky white translucent robe was covered over the outside of the gown, as if a cloud was enveloping the human body.

This kind of clothes is not too rich, and there are no superfluous ornate decorations, but they are really special.

Because this kind of clothing is only worn by people in one place.

Xishan Academy.

It is the largest academy in Sichuan and Shu region, and it is also the holy place of scholars in the hearts of Shu people, the academy was built in the west mountain of Shudi, shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, there is a fog to gather the mountain, and the students of Xishan Academy are used to wearing this kind of black robe, with a cloud-like burqa outside, which is jokingly called "fog shirt" by the locals.

The Xishan students wearing this kind of caftan have always been the object of a headache for the imperial court, because the style of study in Shu is scattered, coupled with the resistance of the Haoqiang Tusi to the Celestial Empire, most of what the students have learned are also some "deviant" articles and ideas.

This person is from Xishan Academy, that is to say-

At this moment, a handyman from the Qinglou suddenly walked to the door of the cloister, saw me at a glance, and said loudly: "Who? Who's there!? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked out of the window, and the students of Xishan Academy also turned their heads.
