Chapter 62

"I don't even look at who you offended, I'm really impatient! It's your good fortune that our master took a fancy to this land! Hehehehe... It's pretty lucky, why didn't a fire burn you to death? !"

The housekeeper yelled, "Get out of here quickly! Go wherever you want to die! Just make room for Grandpa! Go! Move them... Hahahaha..."

Moving, where else can I move!

Dozens of servants laughed and went forward, seeing that everyone was like fish on a chopping board and could be cooked at will, how could there be any pity!

Instead, the villagers gathered together helplessly, supporting each other, trembling with fear, but they did not leave, because they knew that once they left, this land would not belong to them, so the end waiting for them was also very miserable...

"Is there any law of the king! You dare to occupy the fields and burn down the houses! Who gave you such courage!" The scholar who helped the villagers couldn't help but scolded, full of anger.

The housekeeper saw that his clothes were stained with a lot of dust, but he could still tell that he was an imperial student, so he said, "Our master is Li Chenggong, Marquis of Linchuan, you can't afford to mess with him! Just mind your own business if it's none of your business!"

The Tai student stiffened his neck and took a step forward and said: "Since you are a prince, you should be more sympathetic to the common people! You have committed such lawless things, it is absolutely devoid of conscience! You will not succeed today if I am here!"

The butler said contemptuously: "You, a little Tai student, can stop us? Huh! Get out of here, or don't blame us for being rude!"

The man said angrily: "I am nothing, but there are hundreds of classmates in Taixue! There are great Confucian masters! If you dare to act recklessly, we will go to the imperial city to knock on the gate! Your Majesty, please uphold justice!"

As soon as these words came out, the butler's face froze.

The Tai students are all scholars, and they have very close ties with the civil official group, and they have relatives and nostalgia with some officials.

What's more, young scholars are also easily motivated by enthusiasm. If the Tai students and those great Confucian doctors all go to petition, then things will be really troublesome!
But he still said forcefully: "You are an imperial student who participates in the government's political affairs. Even if His Majesty the Emperor knows about it, you will be expelled from your fame. Your ten or twenty years of books will be considered in vain! Have you considered the consequences clearly!"

The Tai student gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you fight to get rid of your fame and ruin your future, you won't be allowed to be presumptuous! If you don't believe me, just try it! Petition in the imperial city, can your Lord Marquis afford it!"

The color on the butler's face kept changing, he didn't expect that this high school student would be so stubborn, it was smelly and hard, unreasonable!

But if you really want to fight for your fortune as he said, if you force yourself, you will bring trouble to the master!
At that time, the master's anger will not fall on himself.

So the butler had no choice but to hold back his breath, and said with a cold snort, "Okay! That's all for today! But let's see how long you can protect them!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave, and all the common people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait!"

Zhu Yunxi took two steps forward and asked, "Did you burn down their house?"

The butler smiled instead of anger, "Boy, do you want to meddle in other people's business too? Hahahaha... I don't care about you!"

Zhu Yunxi stared at him and asked, "I just ask you, yes or no!"

The housekeeper smiled ferociously: "Yes! We burned it! I burned it myself! So what! You want to sue the officials? Hehehe... just sue! I said I burned it. What evidence do you have? ?! At that time, you will say that you have made a false accusation! See if the government believes in you or me!"

When Zhu Yunxi looked at him, he wanted to see a dead person, so he didn't have to say so much to the dead.

So Zhu Yunxi just looked at them and let them leave arrogantly.

And the suffering people sat down in a dark place, staring blankly at the houses that were still emitting black smoke.

full of desolation...

In the evening, piles of bonfires were lit, and the people, old and young, gathered around the fire to keep warm.

The beating flames and hot colors couldn't warm their hearts.

They cooked a handful of burnt grains in broken pots snatched from the fire, and this was their dinner.

The Qinhuai River is still so noisy, the lights are still so bright, and the silk and bamboo orchestra is still singing.

But this side of the river always seems to be so dark and desolate, lonely and helpless, which makes people feel depressed and uncomfortable.

What an ironic comparison.

Zhu Yunxi did not go back to the palace, he really didn't know how to go back, how to face the magnificent palace, how to face the ingenious and expensive decorations, and he didn't know how to face the exquisitely crafted delicacies.

The people here have no tiles to cover themselves, no food to feed their stomachs!
If he allowed himself to enjoy everything in the palace at this time, Zhu Yunxi felt that he would be committing a crime!
The imperial student went to the Qinhuai River and washed his face, washing away the stains and charcoal dust, and took another can of water with a water can.

When passing by Zhu Yunxi and the others, he stopped hesitantly, walked closer and said, "My lord, please boil some hot water to warm your body..."

"Thank you." Zhu Yunxi thanked him, pointed to the stone next to him, and the imperial student sat down.

Li Fu and Wang Zhong took the water jar, and together they set up some stones around the fire and put the water jar on it.

"Young master, you should go back, it should be fine with me here to take care of you..."

Zhu Yunxi took a look at this imperial student, only to realize that he looks a little different from the Central Plains Han people.

I saw that this person had black eyebrows, a pair of big piercing eyes, and the eyeballs did not seem to be pure black, his face was long and thin, and his nose was strong.

However, Zhu Yunxi was not too surprised. After all, there were many people of different nationalities in China, and the capital was a place where people gathered, so it was not surprising.

The Tai student asked himself to leave, obviously because he didn't want to be implicated, so he said: "You are not afraid of being implicated, I have nothing to fear."

The man hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I'm different, I'm a student, they don't dare to do anything to me..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yun said: "Are you really not afraid of being caught by them? Tai students are not allowed to discuss politics. Your hard work may really be in vain after all your years of study."

He replied: "That's just a matter for one person and one family. It's nothing compared with the common people. Besides, I read sage articles. If I don't regard the world as public, what kind of book will I read!"

He also said: "This matter involves the Marquis of Linchuan, and it also involves several generals. It is not so easy to be kind. Even if the young master is not for himself, he should think about his family."

Zhu Yunxi nodded without explaining, and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'll stay here tonight and do my best..."

 Please support me, thank you!Comparing!
