Turbulent Times Chapter 113: The life of a human is not as good as a horse
Therefore, Yang Guang can lower his status to express some kindness and proper appreciation to Wang Junlin, but he will definitely not influence whether he can control the world for the sake of Wang Junlin, Yang Su, Qiu Rui, etc. Important ministers turned against each other.
In fact, Yang Guang was able to say these words today because he really appreciated the matter of Wang Junlin poisoning Longxi City and burning Shuiquan Pass.
……
……
At this time, all the officials had dispersed one after another, Changsun Sheng, Han Qinhu and Yang Lin also left on their own, Wang Junlin tidied up his clothes and walked out of the palace.
Just after walking out of the Hanyuan Hall, a young **** stood at the entrance of the hall, holding a plate covered with yellow silk and satin, and said sharply: "My Lord! Here is the key and title deed of your Marquis' mansion in the north of the city, one thousand taels The gold reward, the household department will send someone to your house later."
Wang Junlin was overjoyed, carefully put away the things on the plate, took out a cup of gold ingots, handed it to the little eunuch, and said to him with a smile: "I am sorry to trouble the servant, I hope the servant will not be disgusted .”
This **** is also a wonderful person, unceremoniously and skillfully took the gold ingot with a smile, and saluted Wang Junlin: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the reward."
After speaking, he neatly put away the gold ingot and turned to leave.
When I went to see the emperor today, Wang Junlin had already expected most of the things, but some things were beyond his expectations. Give yourself a clear task, and don't mention when you will return to Northwest Gaotai City.
"Perhaps in Yang Jian's view, as soon as I came to the capital, I had a deadly feud with Yue Guogong, who was second only to the Dugu clan of the later clan, and I had already exceeded or completed the tasks that Yang Jian wanted to entrust to me. .So I simply let me play by myself."
Thinking like this, Wang Junlin walked out of the palace and the imperial city all the way.
Outside the imperial city, all the guards and servants who were originally standing were gone, leaving only Zhan Peng and three guards waiting for Wang Junlin excitedly. During the discussion among the officials, they learned that their general had been named Marquis and General Zhenyuan. If it wasn't for this place before the imperial city, they would have already yelled excitedly.
Seeing Wang Junlin walking out of the imperial city with a golden crown on his head from a distance, the four of Zhan Peng couldn't wait to greet him, saluted respectfully, and said loudly: "Congratulations, my lord."
The four of them are all illiterate and rude people. They really don't know what to say other than these four words. Compared with the civil servants who flattered Sui Emperor Yang Jian at the court meeting before, there is a difference between heaven and earth.
But Wang Junlin liked it very much, because he could feel that the four guards were genuinely happy because he was awarded the award, and he faintly felt that the four guards were more respectful and restrained when facing him.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Junlin understood the specific reasons for the changes in the four of them—this was caused by the current status gap between the aristocrats and the ordinary people. In the past, Wang Junlin could only be regarded as a small nobleman, but now he is considered a great nobleman, and as long as he can continue to live, after one or two generations, a new wealthy family will appear.
When I came to the palace today, I don’t know how long the court will be, so Wang Junlin didn’t dare to ride the blood-maned horse. With a violent temper like a beast, it is likely to cause a catastrophe. Of course, it is impossible to bring out the little lynx, which is a fierce beast itself. Even if it is still young, a fierce beast is a fierce beast, and it is born with wildness. It is probably more likely to cause trouble than a blood-maned horse.
Wang Junlin casually threw the house deed and the keys of the mansion to Zhan Peng, and after the latter held him in his arms like a full moon son, he said with a smile, "Let's go! Let's go and see Lord Ben's mansion first."
At this time, Daxing City was much smaller than when it was expanded in the Tang Dynasty and was renamed Chang'an City, but the population was not small at all, so the crowds were bustling along the way, although it was not up to the waving sleeves. It's not that far, but it's also considered shoulder-to-shoulder.
It's just that compared with when they first entered the city the day before yesterday, no matter where Wang Junlin and the others went today, the crowds would disperse automatically, not to mention touching or even looking at each other.
Naturally, Wang Junlin would not think that he had a sudden outburst of arrogance. Of course, if these people know that he is a poisonous general who can stop children from crying, maybe he can achieve the same effect. But obviously these people don't know his real identity.
After a brief observation, Wang Junlin figured out the reason from the gaze and expression changes of these people. He was wearing a marquis gold crown on his head, and the goldfish bag hanging around his waist. Look at the four guards behind them who are quite arrogant and have big waists. In this age where the ranks between the common people and the nobles can be called terrifying, it is strange that ordinary passers-by dare to join them!
Wang Junlin felt emotional in his heart, thinking that when he entered the city the day before yesterday, if he was dressed like this, Yang Rong and others would definitely not bully others too much, and there would be no incidents later.
While passing by a market, Wang Junlin saw a group of people surrounding an open space from a distance. A tall flagpole was erected on the open space, which was five feet high. The flag had been removed, leaving only a bare wooden pillar. At this time, there is a person standing on the top of the wooden pillar, the golden rooster is independent, doing various difficult movements on the top of the flagpole with only thick wrists, sometimes turning over, standing upright with one hand, the body is upright, sometimes the golden hook hangs the curtain, and the body hangs upside down on the On the wooden pole, people were amazed.
Below the flagpole, there was a thin, fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl who looked like a hemp pole, holding a copper gong, with a weak mouth begging for rewards from people. Wang Junlin faintly heard every word the girl said. Then he coughed, it seemed that he was seriously ill.
Obviously, this is a pair of hard-working brothers and sisters who perform in the rivers and lakes. It's just that no matter how the young man on the flagpole got on the pole, his ability is not small.
However, since this time, Wang Junlin has met quite a few masters, and now he can be considered a master himself, so he no longer had the initial suspicion, took a second look and walked forward .
As soon as the group of five people left Fangshi, Wang Junlin narrowed his eyes and slowed down intentionally.
Someone followed them, and the level of tracking was very high. If Wang Junlin was not an expert on this trip, and after he had practiced the Unknown Dao Scroll, his six senses were keen, he might not have been able to detect them.
When passing a corner, Wang Junlin suddenly turned his head, his gaze was like a knife looking to the rear right, a figure flashed past and disappeared into the corner, Wang Junlin snorted coldly, and continued walking forward.
"It seems that this noble man is not an ordinary son of a family, but he was able to find me. If so...it's not bad." There was a young man in his twenties behind the corner, with a look of surprise on his face.
Wang Junlin continued to walk towards his new mansion according to the route, while thinking about who was following him. It stands to reason that Yang Su and Qiu Rui didn't need to send someone to follow them in broad daylight today.
At this moment, a young man suddenly separated from the crowd, rushed to Wang Junlin's horse, and blocked their way.
When Zhanpeng saw someone blocking the way, he was furious and wanted to drive him away.
Just at this moment, the young man suddenly knelt on the ground without saying a word.
It can be seen that the young man was kneeling in front of the horse, Zhan Peng couldn't help being taken aback, and turned to look at Wang Junlin.
Immediately, Wang Junlin narrowed his eyes. He saw that the young man looked familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that this young man was the one who saw the performer from a distance in the market.
Wang Junlin hadn't figured out what was going on, he just heard the young man shout loudly: "Give me a hundred hangs, and my life is yours!"
Wang Junlin was taken aback for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and said, "You were following us just now."
Zhan Peng and the other three guards heard that someone was following them just now, but they just didn't notice, they couldn't help but look ashamed, and looked a little annoyed at the young man.
"Shen Guang, why are you blocking the nobleman's way? Why don't you quickly recognize him!" An old man in the crowd suddenly shouted, his face pale with anxiety, as if Shen Guang would be killed by Wang Junlin in the next moment like. In fact, the old man's worry and anxiety are in line with the reality of this era.
Who is Wang Junlin? The old man didn't know his true identity, but Wang Junlin's outfit and demeanor already showed that he was a noble person. In this world, he can stop some people, but some people will lose their lives after blocking them.
"Shen Guang, this name sounds familiar." Wang Junlin frowned and pondered, while looking at the young man in front of him, and at the same time wanted to see how the young man would respond to the old man's persuasion.
This young man is not very old, just in his early twenties, his body is slender and looks a little thin, but his shoulders are relatively broad, his limbs are slightly longer than ordinary people, and he looks very powerful. There was a resolute look on the honed face.
The young man glanced at Wang Junlin and saw that the latter did not drive him away immediately, and even ordered the guards to kill him directly. He breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Uncle Liu, my sister's illness can't wait Now, it is difficult for me to raise enough medical expenses in a short period of time, so I can only sell myself for money, don't stop me."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Wang Junlin: "Young master, as long as you give me a hundred hangs, my life will be yours!"
A life is only worth a hundred jin, and a hundred jin cannot sell a farm ox or a fine horse. Human life is not as good as an ox or a horse, this is the way of the world.
At this time, Wang Junlin suddenly spoke.
"You said your name was Shen Guang, didn't you?"
Shen Guang was stunned, looked at Wang Junlin expectantly, nodded quickly and said, "If you don't change your name or surname, you will be Shen Guang."
"Shen Guang, you just said that if I give you a hundred hangs, your life will be mine?"
Shen Guang nodded and said, "That's right!"
