Chapter 118: Face Saint
Hua Yinxue's words can be said to be the voice of most of the people present, they don't like Zhao Duo very much, although Zhao Duo has always behaved very generously, but it always makes people feel a little fake.
It's just that because of the other party's status as a prince, Baitang and them are always not good at tearing their faces. But Hua Yinxue is a straightforward character, like is like, hate is hate, she never deliberately hides her emotions.
Maybe this kind of behavior will make people feel a little reckless, but Hua Yinxue has actually been prepared for a long time, and she will bear the mistakes she makes, even if she will pay for it with her life.
However, for the time being, Zhao Duo will not take any action against Hua Yinxue at least on the surface, which is good news, after all, Baitang and they don't want to go against the imperial court.
This episode between him and Zhao Duo did not affect the interest of Bai Tang and the others in visiting, they stayed on the top floor of Wanli Tower for a while, used some refreshments, and also saw the uniqueness of Wanli Tower.
They saw a beggar on the top floor, who even had a broken bowl, and when he came up from the downstairs, he sat down by the stairs and placed the broken bowl in front of him, as if waiting for a handout.
The top floor of Wanlilou is undoubtedly a paradise for beggars, and the people here are basically either rich or expensive, and there is always a few taels of silver on their bodies. However, Wanlilou is naturally not something that any kind of beggar can enter casually, let alone go straight to the top floor?
Since the beggar came up, many people's eyes have been focused on him, some are disgusted, some are disgusted, some are disdainful, and some are curious.
Bai Tang was very curious, so he kept looking at the beggar, and he found that this beggar did not take everyone's money. Some of them went upstairs and threw a large amount of silver into the beggar's bowl with a look of disgust, only to be poured out of the bowl by the beggar, while others simply put down a few copper plates, but the beggar did not refuse.
When Bai Tang and his party were ready to leave, they all gave the beggar some money, and the beggar took it all until the last hand reached out and picked up the bowl in front of the beggar.
The beggar, who had been hanging his head all along, finally raised his head, and his eyes were a little dazed.
Bai Tang took the broken bowl and gave the beggar a friendly and bright smile, and then followed the group down the stairs step by step.
The dazedness in the beggar's eyes turned into surprise, he had never seen anyone competing with a beggar for a job.
He suddenly laughed, inexplicably.
waited until everyone walked out of Wanlilou, and the beggar did not chase down, which made Bai Tang feel very strange, and at the same time felt that the bowl in his hand was a little hot.
It's not really hot, it's just that Bai Tang doesn't know what to do with this bowl. If he returned it, then what did he do with this bowl? Throw it away, but he is sorry for the beggar. But if you keep it...... This broken bowl really doesn't fit Bai Tang's temperament.
At this time, an aunt passed by, and while she looked at Bai Tang with a strange gaze, she casually threw a few copper plates into the bowl.
Bai Tang was blinded, and his friends laughed.
"Why are you taking someone's bowl?" asked Wanlixiang.
Bai Tang coughed dryly: "The idle egg hurts." ”
Although everyone didn't quite understand the meaning of Bai Tang's words, they also knew that it was not a good word, so they didn't ask any more.
Just as everyone was about to leave, beggars suddenly appeared around Wanli Tower, and surrounded Baitang.
Bai Tang suddenly became vigilant, he thought that these beggars had come to snatch the broken bowl in his hand.
When the first beggar came to Bai Tang, Bai Tang was ready to strike at any time, but the beggar only took a few copper plates from the broken bowl, and then walked away like no one.
The other beggars did the same, and soon Bai Tang was left with only a clean and broken bowl in his hand.
When another beggar approached, Bai Tang simply handed him the broken bowl.
The beggar was a little confused, but walked away with a complicated face.
The rest of the beggars saw that Bai Tang didn't even have a bowl in his hand, so he could only leave with regret.
Zhao Heng looked at those beggars and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that there are so many beggars in the capital, I must find a way to make them not have to live such a life again." ”
Bai Tang immediately reminded: "They are just lazy, you don't need to be responsible for their laziness, these people are able-bodied and can make a living by selling their labor, but they would rather be moths of society, such people are not worthy of sympathy." ”
When Zhao Heng heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
On this afternoon, when Baitang and they were visiting the capital, a young man dressed in ordinary clothes suddenly came to Zhao Heng, and after saluting Zhao Heng, he leaned into Zhao Heng's ear and said a few words.
The young man is a person sent by the current emperor, and he is only here to inform one thing, the emperor wants to summon Bai Tang, Ranger and Jianlai.
For people in previous lives, "emperor" is undoubtedly an awe-inspiring word, because he has supreme power and can basically decide the life and death of people in the world.
The first time he went to see the emperor, Bai Tang was really a little excited, and he felt like going to the zoo to see a giant panda for the first time. After all, in the previous life, the emperor was a creature that had long been extinct, and all Bai Tang could see was the role played by the actor, and he really hadn't seen what the real emperor was like.
As for the imperial palace, it didn't give Baitang too many surprises, Baitang had been to the Forbidden City in his previous life, and the palace in this world was much the same as in his previous life, that is, the buildings were taller, and the layout was roughly the same as in his previous life.
Baitang and his party followed the eunuch into a palace called "Shuhua Palace", and there was only one person sitting in it, wearing a Ming Yellow Dragon robe, who was obviously the Yellow Emperor of Dahua.
He sat very upright, looking like he was in the prime of life, and the slight whiteness of his temples did not affect his image in the slightest, but made him more majestic.
There was a hint of a smile on his face, and his deep eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts, making people dare not look directly.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little oppressive, and I don't know if it came from the structure of the temple or from the person sitting on the main seat.
After the eunuch sent the three Baitang into the hall, he retreated, leaving only the three Baitang standing in the hall, and they didn't know where to put their hands.
Their weapons had been unloaded before entering the palace, and the palace had its own palace rules, which they had to follow.
It's just that no one knelt down in the face of Emperor Dahua at this moment, Bai Tang didn't have that habit, the ranger didn't understand the rules, and Jian Lai didn't seem to give face, because his expressionless face made people feel that he didn't even pay attention to the emperor.
The emperor's gaze looked at the three of Baitang for a long time, and then asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you kneel?"
Bai Tang replied: "Because I am the successor of socialism." ”
The ranger looked at Baitang, and then said, "I am also the successor of socialism. ”
Compared with Baitang and the rangers, the sword came much more simply, and he only said two words: "Not worthy." ”
