Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 47: :Zhashui County
I don't know what the reason is.
Li Zhen always felt that the closer he was to the Eight Dragon City, the stronger the throbbing in his heart. It seems that there is some kind of calling in the dark, it seems that someone is waiting for him in Eight Dragon City.
"Who is waiting for me?"
Li Zhen murmured in the carriage, took out a piece of paper from his arms, looked at the words 'Zhang Zhi' densely written on the paper, and smiled lightly: "If you wait for me... "
Passing through a county, one can already clearly feel the attitude of the people of Zhongzhou towards the No. 1 champion in Kyushu.
"Look, that is the number one champion in Kyushu for a hundred years."
"I heard that his No. 1 Scholar came by chance. This year's No. 1 Scholar should have been the Eighth Prince Xun Shitian."
"What is hearing? That's the truth. Some people say that he is the only number one scholar in Kyushu who cheated successfully in a hundred years."
"What and what, don't talk nonsense. The latest gossip says that this number one scholar actually bribed the Kyushu chief examination officer. The champion has appeared."
"Shh, don't talk anymore, the number one scholar is here. Look at the murderous spirit of this line of imperial guards."
“…”
In the carriage, watching the common people outside pointing fingers, Li Zhen looked neither sad nor happy.
He doesn't care about fame.
So what if someone guides public opinion? Do you want to reason with the people? They don't understand equations, they don't understand the periodic table, and they don't understand physics formulas. How do you go about arguing with them?
People never support the correct answer, they only support the answer that they find interesting. They don't care about the truth, they only care about the truth that they feel is the truth.
This is the people.
This is how scary rumors are.
Mingkang's face was gloomy: "It's disgusting, how can the eighth prince do this? What about the royal family's heart? If you can win, you can also afford to lose. Isn't it just the second place and not the number one? Is it interesting to spread rumors like this?"
Qi Lengzi was also indignant: "Why are these people so stupid? They believe everything others say, how could they cheat in Kyushu? How could they bribe the chief examiner? Do they believe such words?"
Li Zhen smiled and comforted: "Stop talking. This is normal."
"Aren't you wronged?"
"I'm wronged."
"You are wronged and you are still so calm?"
"Calm is because there is nothing to do, so why show your grievances?"
Li Zhen said indifferently, then lay down with Erlang's legs crossed, and continued to look at the paper. He looked at the two words Zhangzhi repeatedly, looked at them, and smirked.
"This kind of person shouldn't be allowed to pass through our Zhashui County. Our Zhashui County has outstanding people. Although we haven't had a champion, we can't let this kind of person who cheats to get a position stain our Zhashui County!"
Outside the carriage, an old man's roar sounded.
Li Zhen paused, and there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes, but he turned his face and continued to look at the paper in his hand with a smile.
The distance between heaven and **** is not far away, only in one's own thoughts.
The feeling of heaven and **** is separated by a thin line, which is the thought of others.
The people of Kyushu praise him, he is the number one scholar in Kyushu.
The people of Kyushu step on him, he is a piece of shit. Even walking here and passing by, others think he is dirty.
This kind of aggrieved heart comes from an innocent disaster, so what can he do? What can be proved? It would be a lie to say that he doesn't care, he cares more than anyone else. Li Zhen sighed deeply and closed his eyes.
"Get out!"
Outside, the imperial guards drew out their swords and aimed at the old man who was about to walk over.
The old man was not afraid at all, he stood in front of the road with a cane, and spit was flying all over the sky: "I have lived in Zhashui County for 80 years, and this is my pure land. You take this **** champion out of here , don’t defile the land of our Zhashui County. Don’t enter the city!”
Seeing that he was an old man, the imperial guards could only intimidate him, but they did not dare to act forcefully.
At this time, the county guard of Zhashui County rushed out with depression, and the county guard rode a maroon horse and shouted loudly: "That old man, how dare you block the champion from crossing the road, get out! Don't get out , still not immediately give way to the champion?"
The old man sneered: "Master of the county, you are quick to flatter, and you want to flatter this kind of **** champion?"
The county guard was furious: "Come here, let me drive this old thing away."
"Grass, stop for me!"
"Who dares to touch my grandpa?"
"The government is bullying the common people."
"The magistrate of the county is going to kill people in the street in order to flatter the number one scholar. Help, there is no law of the king, no law of heaven."
"Remember the appearance of this yamen servant. He was going to draw his sword to kill people just now. Remember his appearance. He bullied the elderly and kind people. Let's jointly sue the government of Balong City."
“…”
As soon as the servant of the Zhashui county government moved, the old man lay down on the ground. The entire Zhashui County was thrown into chaos on the spot.
First, the old man's family rushed up and pushed the yamen servant viciously. Before the yamen servant could do anything, the old man's grandson burst into tears.
The people watching the excitement exploded in an instant, what a government, you actually bullied the lonely old man just to flatter the number one scholar? Even the elderly have to be bullied, are you still human?
Hundreds of people immediately surrounded the dozen or so officials, pointing and pointing.
"Remember this person's appearance, remember him, tomorrow we will jointly sue to Eight Dragon City."
"There is no kingly law, and the old man is still bullied."
"Does the government only bully kind people?"
“…”
A dozen or so young officials were surrounded by their hometown folks, and they were all in a hurry. They held simple knives in their hands but didn't dare to pull them out. They just shouted in a hurry: "You have wronged me!"
"We just wanted to fight him off, we didn't bully the old man."
"Don't come here, don't come here."
“…”
Riding on the horse, the county guard's lungs exploded with rage, and he screamed tremblingly: "Troublemaker, trickster, trickster!"
What can he do?
That's the way it is in society.
Whether one thing is right or wrong does not depend on who is right or wrong, but only on who is strong and who is weak. I'm vulnerable, so I have a point. But the atmosphere at the feet of the emperor is even stronger. It is no exaggeration to say that the people at the feet of the emperor are not afraid of officials at all. On the contrary, officials are afraid of the people. It is because they are afraid of public disturbance.
Li Zhen stepped out of the carriage, stood on the carriage platform and looked at the chaotic front with his hands behind his back, his expression extremely calm.
He watched as the two young men picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the county government officials while they were in chaos. There were too many people, and the officials couldn't resist it at all. Their heads were smashed immediately, but they didn't know who it was.
That should be the descendant of the old man, right?
Mingkang's face turned cold, and he murmured: "There is no law for the king...these troublesome people. The imperial army obeys orders!"
"Go!"
More than a thousand imperial guards who had already felt angry immediately drew their swords.
"Take this group of troublemakers..."
Before Mingkang finished speaking, Li Zhen waved his hand, and Lang shouted: "Exit Zhashui County, and take a detour to Niubeiliang. Don't cause trouble here."
"Huh?"
Mingkang was shocked: "I can't. You are the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor, how can you give way to the unruly people? Niubei Liangshan high road is dangerous~IndoMTL.com~The detour will take too long."
Li Zhen retreated into the carriage, unable to see any sorrow or joy: "Don't cause trouble for others."
Mingkang sighed, stood on the platform of the carriage and cast a vicious glance at the magistrate of Zhashui County, Lang shouted: "Listen to the number one scholar, quit Zhashui County."
"Yes!"
All the imperial guards felt aggrieved, they followed the champion all the way, how could they expect to suffer such a disadvantage when they were near the emperor's feet.
The magistrate of Zhashui County saw Mingkang's gaze, trembling all over, angry and startled, watching the imperial guards turn around and leave with the carriage. Looking at the hundreds of folks in the village singing and dancing, cheering for the whole world:
"Hahaha, what kind of wolf with a big tail are you pretending to be."
"Fake No. 1 Scholar Go!"
"Look, he looks as dingy as a dog."
"We won, we won. We finally forced out the fake champion, and we succeeded."
“…”
The magistrate of Zhashui County sat on the horse and trembled all over his body. Thinking of Mingkang's eyes, he burst into tears with red eyes: "Tricksters...tricksters, how can you listen to such rumors? What about you? You, you are so angry that you have left Kyushu No. 1... troublemaker..."
"County guard!"
"Quick, the county guard is in a coma!"
"Come quickly, the magistrate fell into a coma."
“…”
The officials panicked.
Seeing that the county guard had also fallen, the common people laughed even more, and surrounded the officials who pinched the county guard:
"Official, hahaha, look, this is the official."
"Everyone who is an official deserves to die, and everyone who has power deserves to die. Die. Still flattering and flattering? Delusion!"
"We are victorious!"
“…”
Absurd!
