Chapter 1017: Changan Jun Is Here, and the Blue Sky Is Here! As Heaven Moves Forward, a Gentleman Should Constantly Strive to Improve Himself!

Treating guests, being treated as dogs, and beheading are the three trilogy that Ying Chengxuan prepared for the people of Qi.

However, the response of the people of Gu Qi far exceeded Ying Chengyu's expectations.

Want to seize family property? Take it!

Want to recruit a young man? Take it!

Don’t you want to rob civilian girls? Please, Your Majesty, just accept your little girl! Even if it’s just to be a slave, a maid, or a concubine in the house, that’s fine! If you, your Majesty, look down upon your daughter, your dog will also admire you for a long time! Your Majesty, please don’t leave!

There was no need for Ying Chengyu to treat him, so all the old Qi people invited themselves to be dogs, just hoping not to be beheaded!

This directly caused Ying Chengyu to spend a month and only legitimately cut off more than a thousand heads.

Such a record is a shame for Ying Chengxuan.

But for the Li Shu people living in their hometown of Qi, it was like a huge earthquake!

Qin Wangzheng August 7th.

Three teenagers under the age of 20 left Peixian County together, passing by buses from various counties to see them off, and finally arrived at Linzi City.

The youngest Zhou Chang looked around, curious about whatever he saw.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chang saw the Jingguan made of more than a thousand heads outside the south gate of Linzi City!

The still scorching hot weather in early autumn caused these heads to emit a strong rancid odor, and there were even black flies entrenched on them, making them look particularly penetrating.

However, there were many common people gathered not far from the Jingguan Temple and refused to retreat despite being harassed by flies and insects. They were crying and laughing, which was very strange.

Zhou Chang's face turned pale instantly, and he said with a slight stutter: "Brother Clan! Brother Cao! Look!"

Cao Shen turned his head at the sound, and his pupils were shocked. When he saw the wooden sign standing next to one of the heads, he even shouted in shock: "That is Xuzhou Shenmao!"

"Such a powerful man who was running rampant across the land was actually beheaded by the entire clan, and his head was even displayed to the public!"

Xuzhou is not far from Peixian County. Although Cao Shen's family is not powerful, it has a small prestige. He has had contact with the Xuzhou Shen clan and knows how arrogant the Xuzhou Shen clan's children are.

Cao Shen never thought that he would have the opportunity to see all the descendants of the Shen family in Xuzhou, but he only saw their heads but not their bodies.

Zhou Ke took two steps forward, looked at the wooden board next to the capital from a distance, and recited: "Xuzhou Shenmao, after Xuzhou entered the Qin Dynasty, defied the king's order and raised servants privately, killed six people, and violated the "New District Provisional Law." "

"After the incident, he arrested and attacked the legal officials. The Lord of Chang'an ordered to attack his mansion, kill those who resisted, and beheaded them as a warning to others!"

Cao Shen and the three of them couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts.

It is known that Ying Chengyu was always guarded by a thousand family soldiers, and when he was traveling around Qi, he was also accompanied by more than a thousand county soldiers. On the other hand, the entire Xuzhou Shen family's strong men and servants were only five or six. Just a hundred people.

I want to ask, why did Shen Mao dare to resist Ying Chengyu’s arrest, and even dare to attack the legal officials?

With deep doubts, the three of them continued to walk towards the south gate of Linzi City.

As the distance got closer, more and more sounds poured into the three people's ears.

"That thief Shen Mao is dead! Lord Chang'an has avenged you! Baby, go in peace!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuntuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuntuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuancyntuu

"Shen Mao, Fei Qiu and other evil-doers will finally get the consequences! The common people are also cautious because of Chang'an Lord. Not only do they not dare to bully us anymore, but they also return all the occupied fields to the old man. The old man has been looking forward to it all his life, and finally Looking forward to good days!”

"I have said long ago that Lord Chang'an is different from ordinary officials and powerful people. Lord Chang'an really treats us as human beings! If you have any grievances, go to Lord Chang'an. Even the most powerful people are not as powerful as Lord Chang'an. Lord Chang'an He will definitely make the decision for us!”

Ying Chengyu was never able to successfully start the massacre of the people of Qi.

But what Ying Chengyu did has actually affected the old Qi Lishu.

Under the oppression of Ying Chengxuan, the people of Qi had to abide by the laws of the Qin Dynasty, return to the fields that did not belong to them, and live and act like ordinary people, and they did not dare to exploit and oppress Li Shu again.

The reins that had always been tied around the necks of the common people were finally cut off, giving all the common people a chance to breathe and see hope for the future!

Listening to the heartfelt cries and laughter of the families of the victims on the sidelines of the capital, and the heartfelt admiration and emotion of the people on the street, Zhou Ke also deeply moved and praised: "In the past, my family was full of people. It’s hard work but hard to gain.”

"My father spent all his money to support my education, just hoping that I could join the government office as a minor official to protect my family from being bullied."

"Now that Lord Chang'an is here, the blue sky will appear in Qi!"

"Think about it, in the future the powerful people will no longer dare to abuse the common people. Even if there are no children in the family who are officials, there is no need to worry about being bullied by others!"

Zhou Yan did not expect Ying Chengxuan to give any preferential treatment to a Li Shu like him.

As long as Ying Chengyu can protect them from being bullied, Zhou Yan believes that Ying Chengyu deserves to be worshiped by thousands of families in Qi!

In the face of this protection, it no longer matters why Shen Mao dared to attack Ying Chengyu.

Zhou Chang said with a sullen face: "Such a silverfish should be killed!"

Cao Shen looked at the gathering crowd thoughtfully: "How can the common people of Xuzhou, who were oppressed by Shen Mao, go to Handan to cry out and complain about their grievances?"

Money, food and work both restrict people's activity radius.

In Daqin, road guidance is an important factor restricting travel in Qianshou.

Cao Shen didn't believe that the scene before him was completely spontaneous. In Cao Shen's view, there must be Ying Chengyu's tacit approval or even fueling of the incident!

Cao Shen raised a slight smile and whispered: "Chang'an Jun killed the big families who disobeyed the order and forced the people to obey the law."

"Although Chang'an Jun's actions are all in line with Qin law, they may cause the people to hate Chang'an Jun deeply and be unwilling to be used by Chang'an Jun."

"Brother Ke, brother Chang, we must work hard in this imperial examination, so that we can help Chang'an Jun govern our hometown!"

Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang nodded vigorously: "We will do our best!"

Finding the cheapest guest house in Linzi City to make do for one night, Cao Shen and the other two hurried to the old Qi Wangcheng as soon as the curfew was lifted the next day.

Cao Shen originally thought that the people of the old Qi would take action to resist Ying Chengjiao's high-pressure policy.

The most common way for the people to resist is to refuse to serve, leaving the rulers with no one to use.

But Cao Shen never thought that before he ran to the gate of the king's city, he saw a large number of people in gorgeous clothes!

Although they did not show their status on their heads, their well-made clothes were enough to explain their status.

When they passed through the city gate and approached the Chang'an Bookstore, Cao Shen was surprised to find that a large group of children of the common people gathered under the ring steps to talk and discuss, while children from small families like them were not only a minority, but also squeezed out to a place far away from the ring steps!

Zhou Chang said a little nervously: "Brother Cao said yesterday that the people of Qi would not be willing to be used by the Lord of Chang'an?"

"Why are there so many children of the common people here!"

Although the teacher always said that Zhou Chang was smart, Zhou Chang also felt that he was very smart. Even though he was only fifteen years old, he was not afraid to discuss with scholars in their twenties and thirties.

But when facing the children of the common people, Zhou Chang could not help but feel inferior and timid.

Just based on the books he had read, no matter how smart he was, how could he compete with the children of the rich families who were well-read!

Cao Shen's eyes were also a little confused: "I don't know either!"

Have Cao read all these years some fake books?

Why is the actual situation different from what is said in the book!

But the next moment, Cao Shen calmed down and whispered: "Because there are so many children of the people who come to take the exam, we should do our best."

"Otherwise, Pei County will still be controlled by those people in the future."

"We will still be oppressed by the people and will not be able to turn over!"

Although Cao Shen's family is not considered powerful, it is still prestigious. Even if he misses this imperial examination, he still has money to continue studying.

However, the two brothers Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang are real poor children. They understand how precious the opportunity is to them!

Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang were both nervous and had an unprecedented sense of mission!

Taking a breath, Zhou Ke strode forward.

Cao Shen was shocked and whispered: "Brother Ke, please stay!"

"Now the children of the people are in front and the children of the common people are behind. If Brother Ke walks forward as a child of the common people, he will probably attract much attention!"

In Cao Shen's view, the most important thing to do now is to be in the same league with the world and compete without competing.

It is not a wise move to attract attention before the big test!

But Zhou Ke looked back and said seriously: "If you don't have the courage to attract attention, how can you be like a needle breaking a bag!"

"You can't fail this test, so you should be confident first!"

"Although my family is poor, I have never been weaker than the common people!"

After saying that, Zhou Ke didn't stop, passed by the common people students, and walked to the place one step below the circular steps facing the different eyes of the children of the common people!

Zhou Chang pursed his lips, followed Zhou Ke and strode forward, standing one step behind Zhou Ke.

Seeing this, Cao Shen had to put down his Erkang hand, shook his head helplessly and walked forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Ke.

Under the guidance of Zhou Ke and the other two, more and more Li Shu children gathered their courage and followed Zhou Ke and the others to the circular steps!

In Chang'an Bookstore, Ying Chengjiao looked down at the Li Shu children who were competing with the children of the people, and couldn't help but smile: "I haven't been disappointed."

Ying Chengjiao has tried his best to provide Li Shu children and even gangster children with opportunities to learn, go ashore, and compete fairly.

If outside Chang'an Bookstore, under Ying Chengjiao's eyes, Li Shu children still can't look at the children of the people equally, and can't hide their inferiority, then Ying Chengjiao will be quite disappointed in his heart, and think that they are useless!

Qi Diaoli also smiled and stroked his beard: "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself!"

"Don't be swayed, don't look away, if you act crookedly, you will offend the slaves, and if you act straight, you will anger the princes. Only then can you be a gentleman!"

"Who is the student who came out first?"

Qi Diaoli didn't know whether Zhou Ke had read Qi Diao's classics, but the qualities Zhou Ke showed already had the charm of Qi Diao's Confucianism. For a moment, Qi Diaoli couldn't help but feel a little bit of love for talent.

Can Zi immediately looked for the booklet, and after checking it, he whispered: "This person is a candidate from Pei County, Zhou Ke, eighteen years old."

"His family has four hectares of land, and the family has no extra money but a large population. This time, he and his cousin Zhou Chang participated in the imperial examination and entered Linzi yesterday."

Qi Diaoli smiled and nodded: "At the age of eighteen, his character is determined."

"He is a rough jade!"

Ying Chengjiao felt that the name was familiar, and murmured softly: "Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang from Pei County?"

Could it be the two iron-willed brothers Gao Jinghou and Fenyinhou who are unyielding?
