Emperor Jing and his entourage changed into casual clothes before leaving the palace.
It goes without saying that his clothes were elegant and luxurious, but it was obvious that the servant thought Emperor Jing was a wealthy businessman or some other local tyrant.
Is a mere businessman qualified to be in the same place with his young master? Of course not!
Emperor Jing froze in silence.
He was just a juren, but...Have scholars become so corrupt?
I didn't expect that this was the first time in my life that someone scolded me like this, and the language was so vulgar. A mere servant could be so arrogant by relying on the power of others.
The people behind Emperor Jing were all stunned.
Your Majesty was scolded, and the words were so harsh. He has gained more knowledge at this age.
The faces of the guards who came with the emperor were already as gloomy as water, with their hands quietly placed on their waists, waiting for the order from Emperor Jing to kill the people in the pavilion!
Several guards clenched their knives, with veins on the back of their hands exposed... they were waiting for Emperor Jing's order.
There was a loud thunderstorm in the sky. Emperor Jing put his hands on the side of the boat, looked again at the people who were still pushing the boat hard, and finally bent down.
Seeing this, the other people who came with the king also stepped forward to push the boat.
Everyone worked together, and suddenly they heard a muffled sound of wood breaking, and the boat was able to move!
Several young men on the boat were immediately delighted and called out to their guards.
"Hurry up and get on board! Don't stay here any longer."
The two guards quickly jumped onto the boat, took up the oars and started rowing.
Emperor Jing was furious and pointed at the people, saying, "Why are you so anxious? They haven't boarded the boat yet. Are you going to break your promise?"
"Row faster! Row faster!" Several young masters ignored Emperor Jing's words and just kept urging the guards to row hard.
Emperor Jing was about to order people to stop him when he suddenly heard a muffled sound again.
Then an old man cried out: "Oh! Gentlemen, you hit someone! Hurry up and save him, there is a child! Please be kind..."
When Emperor Jing looked over, his eyes were immediately filled with anger. The woman with the child was pushing the boat at the bow.
It was already difficult to stand steadily in the water, and the two guards paddled so fast along with the current that they actually knocked the mother and son into the water.
The guard beside Emperor Jing dived down and quickly pulled the mother and child out, but they were in a coma and their life or death was uncertain.
Seeing this, the young man on the boat not only did not lend a helping hand, but urged them even more urgently.
In a moment the boat had travelled some distance, and suddenly a burst of laughter reached the ears of Emperor Jing.
Then, dozens of copper coins fell into the water in front of him...
"Hahaha, take it! It's your reward!"
There was a loud roar of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and Emperor Jing felt a little dizzy.
As he stared at the place where the copper coin fell, his face gradually became covered with frost and he felt a chill in his heart.
Then the image of Li Yuanzhao suddenly appeared in my mind.
I wonder if Yuanzhao's place is as bad as this place...
Li Yansong and others stared blankly at the tragic scene before them.
I let the rain splash on my face, my wet clothes fluttering in the wind, and I could only sigh in my heart...
Seeing the situation in front of him, Li Yansong already had an idea in his mind.
When Yan Guoan arrived at Dengjinfang to take charge, he must have first contacted the local scholars and gentry.
These people usually appear gentle and elegant, but each of them is a local tyrant at heart, and even their servants and guards appear to be superior to others.
After all, few poor people can afford to read.
These people have both status and money. Yan Guoan cannot do without them in governing the market town. Not to mention Yan Guoan, even if it is the government, if they want to govern a place, they must contact the local scholars.
After all, they are the superiors and have the resources. What do the common people count for? To put it cruelly, for many officials, the common people are just numbers on paper.
But there is no way to get rid of these people. A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. These people are very powerful in their own territory. If you go against them, you will get half the result with twice the effort.
You look down on local gentry and scholars? Well, they will directly incite the crowd to throw dirty water on you, and after your reputation as an official is ruined, you don't have to be an official anymore.
You want to find someone to enforce the government decree when it reaches the people? Sure, just fool around.
Li Yansong put himself in the other person's shoes and thought about it, and he could understand a little bit.
But the current performance is completely different from the news that has reached the court?
Is this the manifestation of your love for the people and your contribution to their education?
These so-called educated scholars are clearly abusing and harming the people. They have no compassion at all and are chilling!
After a long silence, Emperor Jing turned back to the carriage. The guards and three ministers beside him looked at each other in surprise.
Based on your majesty's previous temper, these people would have been beheaded long ago. Why are they turning around and leaving now?
"Bring that woman and the child to the car... Saving lives is the most important thing, get in the car!"
No one dared to disobey the emperor's order, and everyone quietly returned to the carriage.
In the carriage, Emperor Jing lowered his head and remained silent for a while. He wiped the rain off his face and his expression returned to normal again: "Guo Banban, you can go back to the palace. Let all the guards of the East Factory go out."
"Seal off this place tightly, no one can leave. And those few people just now, no one can be left behind. If there is any omission, you will be held accountable!"
Guo Tianyang couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, but at the same time he felt a sense of relief!
His Majesty is finally going to start a killing spree! Yan Guoan is finished...
