A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 157: Be Cruel

Today coincides with the opening of the Daxiangguo Temple for trading, and thousands of merchants gathered, turning the entire temple into a super market.

There are many stalls outside the temple. People visiting the market and businessmen inside come to eat from time to time. Business is good.

"Brother, there is candy!"

When they got here, Shen An was worried about encountering a kidnapper, so he picked up his sister, while Aunt Chen specially carried things.

Guoguo hugged his neck, pointed at a stall in front of him and shouted.

"Brother, there is a cat!"

"Brother, there are so many things!"

Everywhere you look, there are people coming and going, and there are crowds of people. At this time, there is only one word in Shen An's mind: prosperous!

Only in prosperous times can there be prosperity!

This is a rare period of peace. Although people are suffering everywhere, in Bianliang, the capital, it is prosperous.

Shen An also relaxed and followed the crowd into the temple.

Animals, daily necessities, calligraphy and painting...

There were all stalls in front of the main hall. Guoguo was very happy. She looked here and played there, and then begged her brother to buy more.

Shen An just agreed in a doting manner, so he bought more and more things, and Aunt Chen couldn't take them all, so he had to hire an idle man to get the goods.

After Xianhan had nothing on his hands or body, Shen An took Guoguo to the temple for dinner.

The food in Daxiangguo Temple is very famous, and the Shen An brothers and sisters found the famous roast pork.

A monk stood in front of the grill, dancing with joy. The barbecue was also sizzling with oil and fragrant.

It came later, because Guoguo was still young, so Shen An gave her a small piece.

After eating, the two brothers and sisters wandered further inside.

Some nuns set up stalls in the corridors selling needlework and embroidery, and the business was particularly good.

"If you buy something with Buddha nature and take it home for your children, the Buddha will bless you!"

Several women were queuing up, and one woman was bringing a little boy. While she was talking to the people around her, she was looking at the crowd in front of her, and she was very happy.

The little boy was restless and looked around for excitement.

He broke away from his mother's hand and went to a preserved fruit stall on the right.

A man followed quietly. Just as the child squeezed into the crowd, he held the child's chin from below with his left hand. At some point, he found a veil in his right hand and covered the child's mouth and nose.

His techniques are skillful and you can tell he is an expert at first glance.

He was even smiling relaxedly, like an ordinary tourist in the crowd.

Then he felt a pain in his waist and fell out.

The crowd was disturbed by this, and they all subconsciously moved away in all directions.

The child was also looking back. He touched his chin and saw a boy rushing over with a little girl in his arms.

Just as the man was about to get up, the boy kicked him towards him.

Boom!

People on the side turned their faces away, unable to bear to look directly at him.

This kick was directly printed on the man's face, and nosebleeds suddenly started flying.

"ah!"

As soon as the man screamed, the boy kicked him again.

The people on the side just turned around and saw this scene.

This foot stepped directly on the man's calf.

Click!

The young man stepped on it, then turned around with the girl in his arms, covered her ears, and handed her to a woman.

"ah……"

The screams broke through the bustling scene, and people from everywhere were swarming in this direction.

Naturally, there were sergeants to maintain order in such large-scale commercial activities, and they immediately began to intercept and divert the people.

When they arrived at the scene, they couldn't help but gasp.

A man howling miserably on the ground; a young man beside him; and a group of people talking about it all around.

So lively!

A man came in and asked, "What's going on?"

Someone pointed at the young man and said, "That man stepped on and broke this man's leg."

Dutou's eyes lit up and he thought this was his achievement!

"Take it!"

The two sergeants rushed towards him like wolves and tigers. Shen An turned sideways and said, "This man is a kidnapper."

He came sideways and blocked Guo Guo's sight. Aunt Chen quickly hugged Guo Guo and backed away. Keep retreating until you can't see the scene of the broken leg.

"How can I see it?"

Only now did Dutou clearly see the condition of the man with the broken leg, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The calf was obviously tilted from the middle, at a rather large angle.

Such a fracture...who can treat it?

This man is useless!

Shen An pointed at the man and said, "His handkerchief must have drug on it."

A handkerchief was scattered on the edge. They all went over to pick it up, and then sniffed it, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

"Tou!"

The two sergeants went over and supported Du's head.

Du covered his forehead and said, "It's a kidnapper, hold him."

He took a few deep breaths and felt a little more awake, so he came over and said, "You're fine, but you just want to sign up."

The law of the Song Dynasty stipulates that when someone commits a criminal activity, those on the side are not guilty of blocking or pursuing him, and even killing the criminal is not punishable.

Those who do not save others in the face of death or do not act bravely in the face of justice are illegal acts according to the law and must be punished.

Shen An said: "A certain Shen An is waiting for the imperial edict."

"Shen waiting for the imperial edict?"

No one expected that the famous Shen Taizhao would be the one who acted bravely, and the people around him all applauded in unison.

"Well done!"

Shen An said with a smile: "I also have a sister, and I know that my child was abducted and I am in great pain. UU Reading www.uuknshu.net So if you encounter a kidnapper like this, you will be beaten to death!"

As he spoke, he walked up to the man, then stretched out his foot and stepped on it heavily.

When the people on the side saw where he set his feet, they couldn't help but cover their eyes. The men also clamped their legs.

"Destroyed a kidnapper?"

Zhao Zhen was reading the alchemy book, but unfortunately he couldn't get the point.

"Yes, official."

Chen Zhongheng said: "Today is the day when Daxiangguo Temple is open for trading. Shen An took his sister to go shopping... That kidnapper is completely useless and is no longer an adult."

Zhao Zhen felt that there was something sad in his words, so he frowned and looked at him, and then asked: "But is there a hidden secret?"

People around the emperor should not have personal affairs, it is best to be honest, otherwise something will happen sooner or later.

Chen Zhongheng said with a tangled look on his face: "The official family, that person's place... was abandoned, and it was said that it was turned into a ball of minced meat."

His area was also destroyed, and it was completely cut off. So after hearing this news, it is inevitable to have some painful memories.

Zhao Zhen's cheeks twitched, and then he said: "Who has time to visit Daxiangguo Temple in broad daylight...who has as much leisure as him?"

Chen Zhongheng's heart moved and he said: "Guan family, Shen Daizhao is still young!"

Zhao Zhen said last time that Shen An was too young to be promoted, otherwise it would be difficult to write about it in future history books.

In a certain year and month in the Song Dynasty, the underage Shen An rose to the top. When he became Prime Minister, he was only in his twenties...

A mature dynasty must also have a mature bureaucracy that will not be shaken by one or two people.

Step-by-step is often not a derogatory but a compliment.

Step by step, the entire bureaucracy will be stable and will not be shaken.

The so-called Gan Luo twelve prime ministers thing can't happen in a mature dynasty, it's just a joke.
