The medical concubine is all over the sky, and the remnant king loves him every night

Feng Chengxuan increased his vigilance and followed Eunuch Xi forward, but when passing by the tea shop in the village, Zhao Ying took the initiative to take a rest.

Feng Chengxuan had no choice but to go along with him.

The tea shop in the village is very simple, just a straw shed and two tables with dust on them.

People in the village rarely come to the tea shop to drink tea. After all, it costs money. If you have that little money, you might as well walk a few steps and drink it at home.

This village has a shortcut to another town, so there are many people passing by here. This is even more strange. There are many people passing by, but they are the only ones who pay special attention to Feng Chengxuan and others?
The tea seller was an older man, and his hands and feet were not very neat, but the tea bowl was still clean, and when people came, the table was also wiped clean.

Zhao Ying did not touch the tea bowl, but just asked the old man about the situation in the village. The old man hesitated and refused to talk, so Zhao Ying just threw a bag of broken silver.

The old man opened it and saw that there were one or two taels of loose silver minced inside, and he suddenly smiled.

What Zhao Ying asked, he answered.

It turns out that something strange happened in the village during this time. Not to mention growing crops, there were almost no people left, so the villagers were very wary of outsiders.

Grandpa Xi asked, "Why didn't you report to the official?"

The old man said with a distressed look on his face, "I'll report it. I'm just going to go through the motions. Once I check and say it's okay, I won't care."

Feng Chengxuan couldn't stand listening anymore, "It's just nonsense...this is the emperor's feet."

The old man put away the money and smiled, "What's going on at the emperor's feet? There are people under the emperor's feet who are begging for food or starving to death."

These words left Feng Chengxuan speechless.

He was a prince and grew up in fine clothing and fine food. He had indeed never seen the suffering in the world. Although he knew that there were people in the world who did not have enough to eat, in the end he only knew about it, but he did not see with his own eyes those who starved to death.

"You should leave as soon as you finish your tea. It's too late, or you might be tied up as a bad guy, and no one can save you."

Hearing what the old man said, Feng Chengxuan was even more surprised, "Abducting people casually? Is there any royal law for this?"

"Wang Fa?"

The old man smiled disdainfully, "If Wang's method is useful, why don't you care about the affairs of our village? Wang's method is to take care of those who are honest and obedient, but it is useless."

Feng Chengxuan wanted to defend himself, but Eunuch Xi held his arm down. At this time, his defense was useless.

He turned to look at Zhao Ying, only to find that Zhao Ying was sitting calmly, indifferent to what the old man said.

In order not to arouse the old man's suspicion, Zhao Ying stood up and left directly, and Feng Chengxuan had no choice but to follow.

Seeing that there was no one around, Feng Chengxuan asked, "If we go further, we will reach the end of the village. Mr. Zhao, aren't we going to investigate the case?"

Zhao Yingdao, "Of course we have to check, but we definitely can't check now. Come back tonight."

Feng Chengxuan understood. Now that everyone has seen them coming to the village, they must be very vigilant, and they must not be able to find anything.

So we need to wait until night so that they can relax their vigilance before coming back.

The three of them rode towards another town, just thinking that they were really just on the road.

"Master Zhao, what do you think of what the villager said?"

After walking for a while, Feng Chengxuan asked Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying's expression was indifferent. He did not speak immediately. Instead, he pointed to the sky first.

Feng Chengxuan looked up and saw that the sky was blue and clear, but at this time a cloud slowly covered the sun, and the light was dimming little by little.

"Master Zhao, what do you mean?" At this time, the sky was no longer scorching the sun, and it was slightly darker.

Zhao Ying said calmly, "The sun is indeed dazzling, but there are places in the world that the sun cannot shine. Although the people living under the light are safe and peaceful, there are also people living in darkness who do not enjoy the benefits of the imperial court. The advantage is that he still has to contribute taxes to the imperial court, so he naturally disdains the imperial court."

Feng Chengxuan understood the truth, but he was really a little surprised today. This was a place not far from the capital. The law was not shining here, but what about other places?
Isn't it worse to be far away from the court and the emperor?

Feng Chengxuan always thought that Haiyanhe was clear. He knew that the world in the Great Northern Dynasty was not that peaceful, but even if it was not peaceful, it would not be any worse.

After all, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, and there are always times when the court fails to provide rescue in time. When encountering these, a small riot is not surprising.

But he never expected that the place closest to the imperial court would be so uneventful.

At this moment, Zhao Ying said again, "Does the Seventh Prince know what it means to be dark under the lamp?"

Feng Chengxuan nodded.

He thought he knew, but Zhao Ying felt that he didn't know at all.

"This place is very close to the Emperor. As a prince, you will feel that this is at the feet of the Emperor, and it must be very peaceful. Why is it the opposite? Because the Emperor has no control here."

Feng Chengxuan looked shocked, "How could it be? The emperor can't control it here, so why should he control the world?"

"When trouble occurs in other places, the local county government doesn't care. They can report it to the magistrate. Those who have the perseverance and life to escape can report it to the emperor's imperial envoy or the capital."

"The government offices in remote areas have limited capabilities in Kyoto City. Perhaps the person who complained may have already arrived in Kyoto City before the news of him reached Kyoto City."

"But what about here? The people want to see the emperor, can they?"

"The government doesn't care about their case. Besides suing the emperor, who else can they turn to? Among the officials in Kyoto City, who doesn't have access to all directions and walks on many legs?"

"The people below are protected by officials, let alone the people in Kyoto City? Naturally, they are disappointed with the court because they have nowhere to complain."

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, Feng Chengxuan's face completely darkened.

"If there is something wrong with what Wei Chen said, please don't blame it, Seventh Prince. Wei Chen is just telling the truth."

If he said this, Feng Chengxuan would naturally not blame him, and besides, he was only telling the truth.

He knew that there were a lot of moths in the imperial court, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

It has become like this under the emperor's nose, and it is even more difficult to think about other places.

"Everyone in the imperial court walks on multiple legs. So, Mr. Zhao, how many legs do you have?"

Feng Chengxuan asked suddenly. Zhao Ying was slightly startled, and then said calmly, "Weichen has always been by himself. He walks on many legs. Weichen is afraid of falling."

Feng Chengxuan chuckled, not believing what he said at all.

There are so many disciples of Zhao Liquan, not to mention two legs, there are dozens of them.

I just wonder if the Zhao family’s handiwork in suppressing people’s petitions was at work?
Feng Chengxuan's face was not depressed. Eunuch Xi tugged at the corner of his clothes again and persuaded him with his eyes not to continue talking.

This topic ends here, and it would not be beneficial to anyone to delve deeper into it.

Although Feng Chengxuan was dissatisfied, he still did as he was told.

Although he didn't find any weirdos this time, he gained a lot of knowledge.

Especially Zhao Ying, it opened his eyes a little bit.
