"If I can kill one, then I can kill a second!"
"Ji'er, don't worry, your father will avenge you right away!"
......
The atmosphere inside the carriage was eerily cold and desolate.
Mu Zian's eyes were icy cold, and Jia Xu, who was standing to the side, spoke up directly.
"Those within Qinghe County are all in cahoots, so the slave contract must have been forged."
"However, the company has been busy with the imperial examinations these past few days and has not had time to complete the formalities. I suppose the county magistrate has already completed the necessary procedures."
"If you want to start from the procedures, young master, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult."
"The Pei family has been in power for a century, and the forces within the court are complex and intertwined. Although you are a Duke, it is by no means easy for you to exert pressure in this way."
"The officials in the court will not make enemies of the Pei family because of the death of a maid."
Mu Zian took a deep breath. Jia Xu was right.
The one who died was just a maidservant; in the eyes of the high-ranking officials in the court, she was probably no different from an ant.
This is simply not enough to justify their war with the Pei family.
Jia Xu looked at Mu Zi'an and sighed.
"Young master, there is no need to blame yourself too much. You have already done your best."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zian lifted the curtain and saw countless ordinary people on both sides of the road in Qinghe County, living in a daze like ants.
But it is these ants that have built the magnificent landscape of China for thousands of years!
Indeed, it was just a maid who died, not worth mentioning.
If he were the Duke of Zhenguo of Dali, he could continue to enjoy the benefits brought by the aristocratic class without any guilt!
He can close his eyes and ignore the suffering of the world! He can simply say that he has done his best.
After all, countless people in this world starve or freeze to death every single day!
But Mu Zi'an was different! What resonated in his mind were the thoughts of Mr. Ziren and the ideals of Mr. Zaizhi!
All people are born equal! There is no distinction between noble and lowly!
The dead are barely cold! The wicked go unpunished!
Where is the law of the land? Where is justice?
Since they think this is just a minor matter! Nothing to worry about!
Then I will tear this sky apart!
Whether it's officials protecting each other or colluding with each other, it doesn't matter!
I'll try to shake a tree with this ant's strength! A single spark can start a prairie fire!
