Chapter 144 Fang Jinxin
Chu Yian rolled her eyes. She shouldn't have brought Xiaofu here.
Fortunately, the crowd didn't curse for too long. The storyteller slammed the gavel, and everyone immediately quieted down. He then began to continue.
As expected, Shang Jun died, and he was killed in such a cruel way by being torn apart by chariots. His death was so tragic that many people present couldn't help but shed tears.
They mourned Shang Yang's death, just like the people in the book. They all hoped that Shang Yang could live and continue to contribute to the Qin State, but they were powerless.
In fact, they also knew that Shang Yang had a huge influence on the Qin State. Before his death, Qin Xiaogong did this, which almost blocked Shang Yang's way of survival.
It would be unreasonable for him to be alive.
But they just couldn't accept that Shang Yang died like this and that King Xiaogong of Qin was still plotting against him.
But if you put yourself in their shoes, whether it is the behavior of Qin Xiaogong, the behavior of Ying Si, or the behavior of that group of old nobles, they are actually reasonable.
How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?
After the listeners cursed those who killed Shang Yang, they turned their attention to the person who wrote the book.
"This person definitely has no tolerance for others. He doesn't know that there is a kind of unwavering bond between rulers and ministers in this world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have written Shang Yang to death, nor would he have portrayed Qin Xiaogong in this way. This is completely wrong."
"Yes, petty! Definitely petty!!"
"You're so ignorant. It's just a storybook. Can't the storybook be written in a more relaxed way? Can't they be made more powerful? Can't they be given supernatural powers? Why do you have to write them all to death? Seeing so many of us crying, is she satisfied?"
Chu Yian: ...
You don't say it, I'm quite satisfied.
I just feel suffocated. It is obvious that Shang Yang in history was hated by everyone, and without him there would be no policies to weaken and fool the people.
Although his book "The Book of Shang Yang" was listed as a banned book, many emperors took it out and read it from time to time, just wanting to learn from him how to govern the people.
But the Shang Yang described here was praised by everyone.
Chu Yian felt a sense of guilt, and also a feeling that everyone else was drunk but he was the only one sober, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
What’s more important is that not long after that, these people’s insults became even more unpleasant, and even escalated to the level of personal attacks.
The more she listened, the more uncomfortable she felt. Before this group of people could question her ancestors, Chu Yian hurriedly pulled Xiaofu out of the teahouse.
She is also a bitch. She knew that she would be scolded if she came here today, but she couldn't wait to come here to get scolded...
Xiaofu had just joined everyone in scolding the author and lamenting Shang Yang's death, and now she was still feeling a little indignant.
Turning her head to look at Chu Yian's expressionless face, she was very confused: "Miss, you don't even scold Dapeng?"
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian was numb and pulled the corner of his mouth: "I haven't read this book yet. I just wanted to listen to the storybook on a whim today. I don't even know the content before. It's not good to scold me."
Yes, the lady has never read this book.
Knowing that talking to others about topics that they are not interested in is a very annoying thing, Xiaofu tactfully shut up.
"So are we going back now?"
Chu Yian shook his head: "Let's go shopping. It feels like I haven't been out for a few days."
Xiao Fu quickly said "OK", her eyes lit up, and she instantly put aside her previous indignation.
The streets of Shengjing are very bustling. Since Chu Yian came here, there has never been a quiet day.
There are all kinds of stalls and shops, and the things they sell are also varied.
Chu Yian bought some sugar-roasted chestnuts to share with Xiaofu. As they were walking, Xiaofu suddenly tugged at the corner of Chu Yian's clothes.
Chu Yian turned around and saw Xiaofu pointing at a restaurant not far away and looking at her with bright eyes full of anticipation.
"Miss, I heard that the food at Wan'an Restaurant is very good. I haven't tried it yet. Should we go and try it?"
Chu Yian raised his eyebrows and stuffed a chestnut into his mouth.
Xiao Fu quickly added, "It's my treat. I've saved up quite a bit of money, which should be enough for us to have a meal."
Chu Yian was a little surprised. Although this girl was not that stingy with money and most of the time she would spend when necessary and save when necessary, she had never been as generous as she was now.
You're actually going to treat her to a meal?
Wow, it’s been three years since I came here, and I’m lucky enough to have the meal Xiaofu treated me to.
Chu Yian hurriedly patted Xiaofu's shoulder and led her to the restaurant.
"What else are you talking about? Let's go!"
It looked like he was afraid that Xiaofu would run away.
Xiao Fu: ...
Xiao Fu squeezed her purse and whispered to Chu Yian, "But we can't order anything too expensive, or too much, otherwise I can't afford it."
Chu Yian smiled: "Are you still not worried about me?"
Xiao Fu was silent. To be honest, she was a little worried. After all, Chu Yian's understanding of money might be different from hers.
After entering the restaurant, Chu Yian immediately called the waiter and ordered a lot of things.
Looking at the table piled high with dishes, Xiao Fu almost burst into tears.
Her voice was trembling as she spoke: "Miss, are you planning to make me wash dishes here for the rest of my life to pay off my debt?"
Chu Yian couldn't help laughing, and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.
Xiao Fu's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Chu Yian with grievance without saying a word, her eyes full of accusations.
She really has to wash dishes here for the rest of her life!!
Chu Yian had laughed enough and was about to speak, but just as the words came out, there was a sudden bang and a figure slammed into the table full of dishes in front of her.
Suddenly the table was knocked almost a meter away, and the plates full of dishes on the table fell to the ground and shattered.
Not only did the plate break and the food become inedible, but the splattered food and oil also splashed all over Chu Yian and Xiaofu.
The hems of their clothes and shoes were covered in an unknown amount of oil.
This scene came unexpectedly, Chu Yian was dumbfounded, and Xiaofu was also stunned and unable to recover.
Both of them looked at the woman lying on the ground, and for a moment they didn't know what had happened.
The woman, who looked not very old, fell to the ground and moaned constantly. Her face was pale and had obvious bruises on it.
Many of the broken pieces of the plate pierced into her flesh, and blood gushed out, but she didn't care at all. She just looked behind Chu Yian with fear and despair.
Chu Yian followed her gaze and saw a man with gloomy eyes standing there with a gloomy face. He looked at the woman with murderous intent and walked towards the woman lying on the ground step by step.
His face was filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to beat her to death right here and now.
Chu Yian frowned instantly, obviously realizing what had happened.
At this moment, a mechanical electronic sound suddenly rang in her head.
[Ding, the mission was successfully triggered.]
[Task 8, please help the woman in front of you, her name is Fang Jinxin.]
Fang Jinxin was the daughter of a merchant. Her family had some money from business, but among the four classes of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, merchants were the lowest class and could not even take the imperial examinations.
In order to change their family background and provide a backer for their business, the Fang family contrived to get close to the second son of Jiang Yongsi, the chief judge of the Dali Temple.
[The Fang family's parents forced Fang Jinxin into bed with Jiang Zhijie, drugging her and using this as an excuse to force Jiang Zhijie to take Fang Jinxin in as a concubine.]
[The Fang family's parents only thought about the family's future, but they didn't consider what would happen to Fang Jinxin if they sent her to jail in this way.]
