Chapter 372

After Ling Yun and the old man in black arrived in the capital, they found an inn to settle down. The old man in black asked him when to see the prime minister. Ling Yun said with a smile, "see the emperor first and see the prime minister again. After all, the owner of the name in the capital is still the emperor."

"The imperial palace is heavily guarded. Even I dare not say I'm going to retreat. It's really inappropriate for you to enter the imperial palace." Said the old man in black.

Ling Yun said with a smile, "I can't see the prime minister. Can't you? Just say I'm a disciple of Master Zhang. I'm here to see your majesty. I'm not a fool. Can I break through? "

"You'll just have a hard time."

"Are you stupid to practice boxing? It's not my business to do what I can do when I get into the palace," said Ling Yun. "Tell me, who are the six seals now?"

As a matter of fact, only four seals are in the hands of the emperor, which is not important. One is in the hands of the empress dowager, and the other is in the hands of the prime minister. It is said that it is to keep the seals on behalf of the prime minister. In fact, it is overhead power. Ling Yun gently knocks on the table. The imperial power most taboo the interference of relatives in politics. I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager's move has lost her heart. The best thing the emperor did was to recruit poor scholars and promote filial piety, As time goes by, a kind of public opinion will be formed.

What's more, there are prime ministers and empress dowagers here. The emperor of the great Xia Dynasty only needs to wait for an opportunity to regain power. Ling Yun is good at building up momentum and taking advantage of it. Only when he has enough information in his hand, he can help the emperor of the great Xia regain power. If it's someone else, maybe he will consider it, but Zhang Fu Zi also highly praises it, I'm sure it won't be any worse.

That's why Ling Yun chose to support the emperor. "It's not a big problem. Hey, elder, let's make a serious bet this time."

"Bet on what?" Asked the old man in black.

Ling Yun snapped his fingers, took out a bunch of sugar gourd and said with a smile: "as long as I enter the palace and get the information of the major factions in the capital, I will keep the two old guys and send the seal to the emperor of the summer in three months."

"Seriously?" The old man in black is regarded as Ling Yun's joke. Ling Yun is strong and smart. But if he is strong and smart, he can be in the capital like a fish in water. That's a big mistake. Of course, young people's self-confidence is a good thing.

"Hmm ~" Ling Yun put his legs on the table, "elder, shall we go out for a walk? You're big and windy. Walk cool. "

"Few of them know me now." Said the old man in black.

Ling Yun approached the old man in black and asked with a smile, "if I have the strength of an old man in this world, I can't get involved in any cause and effect in the world. Besides, I still help the emperor who is in the worst situation. Maybe I can't get any benefit, and I'm ashamed. So what do you want, old man?"

"I don't think it's possible to say what baby can help you soar," said Ling Yun, pulling his fingers. "If it's a confidant, you're not 70, you're 80. When you were young, your confidant was either old-fashioned or pink skeleton, so there's nothing to think about; In other words, even if she is the same as you, even if she can live in the deep palace, I'm afraid your relationship is not much better. "

"Besides, even if it's really the old emperor's woman, now at least it's with the empress dowager, or now the emperor has to shout" grandma generation, "Ling Yun said with a squint smile," eh ~ won't let me say it right? "

"When I was young, I met my beloved girl and I was very happy. I could have been together for a long time," Ling Yun said with his left hand on his back and the sugar gourd in his right hand. "Then you had to leave him temporarily because of a very important duel, and then you had to stay away from her when you met some danger on the way back, tut tut, Then she happened to meet the emperor at that time and married him. By the time you become famous, she will have become a mother in the world... "

"That's it?" The old man in black took a sip of tea. He's a bastard. He's right.

Ling Yun takes out a book from his arms and shakes it in front of the old man in black. Its name is "Li Tang Jian Xue". Ling Yun says with a smile: "the smoke is curling up, and Li Tang Jian Xue falls again. There is no Acacia disease, but only their own death

The old man in black wanted to blow the little bastard to death. The story of "Li Tang Jian Xue" came many years ago. At that time, he also caused a lot of trouble in the capital. Now the emperor, in fact, is also a grandson's favorite child. He has no reason to ignore it.

This is also the main reason why he came out of the mountain this time. However, there are few stories like this, and they are not widely spread. Moreover, with his prestige and ability in the rivers and lakes, the emperor was the palace leader in the world 30 years ago, and he was the first person in the rivers and lakes.

"I see that the annotation of this poem is actually about friendship, but it implies the romantic relationship between men and women, which is also very artistic," Ling Yun said with a smile. "Elder, don't you go to the grave to have a look?"

"A dog can't spit Ivory out of its mouth!" The old man in black walked away.

Lingyun smiled, and took out a string of sugar gourd from his arms, but he did not open it. Instead, he took it in his hands and turned around. The capital of Da Xia could still see the bustling past, and now it was also bustling. Only such a bustle was inevitably accompanied by a trace of tomatoes on sticks, as if someone was holding a bubble carefully.

He and the old man in black set up a lot of tents on both sides of the main entrance, which are small businesses. From behind these businesses, there are many intricate alleys. Ling Yun chose the one on the left to go in. The alleys are very clean, but compared with other places, it's hard to avoid that they are a bit down in the world. Some of the doors are hung with red signs, Occasionally, a few girls stand outside the door and gasp. When they look at Ling Yun, they have some inferiority and expectations. Ling Yun is not a young man who has just entered the world. It's just that he should stay away from places like this, no matter what, but he has lost some money far away, trying not to get involved in any right or wrong.

Maybe this kind of thing is a small matter for many people, but for Ling Yun, it is bigger than the sky falling down.

Passing by these places, Ling Yun didn't take a second look. He just felt that these deep alleys were excellent for doing some things.

"Ping-Pong"

It's the sound of the porcelain bowl being planned, and the laughter of a few children. Ling Yun followed the sound in the past. Five children were picking up a broken porcelain bowl and throwing it at a little boy's feet. An older child deliberately cut the little boy's hand with the pieces of the porcelain bowl, which was more like the little boy's broken.

When they heard someone coming, they ran away and ran around several alleys. Ling Yun followed the woman's line of sight and saw that the little boy was dirty, his hands and feet were full of cracks, there was some foam beside him, and there was a sausage left behind him.

The woman grabbed the little boy's ear and lifted him up, "you little son of a bitch again! Dare to steal food and die, right? Let's go! Follow me to your shameless parents

The little boy was born blind. He looked calm, but his voice was a little pleading, "I'm sorry, I'm so hungry, I promise not next time... Don't tell my parents... Please..."

The woman drags the child away. Because of the bumps on the road, many places on her legs are skinned and the blood is flowing. Ling Yun follows her. The woman throws the little boy on the ground. The children were here before. They are a family. The father of the little boy is sitting on the edge of the yard, smoking dry smoke and scowling.

"Zheng Shiyi, you should take good care of this little blind man in your family. I come to my house all day to steal things. I'm also kind-hearted. I would have killed this little son of a bitch by someone else!"

The woman furnishes.

The man in the thin cotton padded clothes held out his hand. The eldest child took out a wooden stick with the thickness of his finger from the room. The man nodded. The eldest boy hit the little boy hard. The little boy curled up, "don't fight... Don't fight. I know it's wrong... Brother... Father... Mother... I know it's wrong... I don't dare to fight any more..."

He cried loudly and tried his best to avoid his elder brother's stick, but every time he beat him, the woman snorted, "forget it, forget it..."

The little boy's mother took out twenty copper coins from the room and put them in the woman's hand. The woman turned and left.

The little boy's mother did not look at the little boy, the man continued to smoke his own dry tobacco, the remaining five children, you look at me, I look at you, who did not care about the little boy lying on the ground.

The little boy was lying on the ground. When he heard that all the people were gone, he slowly got up. The man got up and pulled him into the firewood room. The little boy huddled on the straw and still curled up into a ball. Maybe in this not too warm season, piles of straw is his last warmth.

Ling Yun turned and left. Before he came to the woman's house, he knocked on the door. The woman yelled, "who is that?"

When she opened the door, she saw Ling Yun in royal clothes. She had a gentle smile and was very scholarly. For a moment, she didn't know how to speak. She quickly wiped her hands on her apron, "Gong... Ye... Zi..."

Ling Yun took out a piece of broken silver and put it in the woman's hand. He asked in a gentle tone: "did the blind child really steal your things?"

Seeing that Ling Yun's tone was mild and her attitude was excellent, the woman became a little more daring and said in a trembling voice: "no... no... no... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

"I'm not from the capital. I came from far away and strolled around. I happened to meet the scene just now. Looking at the poor child, I came to ask me. I didn't mean anything." Ling Yun said softly.

The people in this alley are not rich. Maybe they can eat a piece of meat in half a month or a month. It's not too much to say that it's used to hang their lives.

Only women can tell the whole story. There are eight people in the little boy's family. They rely on the man to do some hard work to earn some money to support their families. It must be more difficult to raise a few more children. The rest of them are in good health and can help their families when they are older.

But the child who was born blind couldn't do anything even when he grew up, so the family didn't care much about him and starved to death.

The reason why she beat that child so hard is that she thought that they were brothers and sisters and should take care of each other. But once or twice, they were all the scenes that Ling Yun saw. The woman didn't want to talk about it any more. Her family was not easy either. The man was a soldier, but the general was not, let alone the salary. I heard that there was going to be a war recently, Whether you can come back alive or not is a matter of two.

There are still two old people in the family to support. She has the strength to do sewing and sewing, so she is tired and earns more. She can make a living in front of her.

After hearing this, Ling Yun wrote down to himself, "why didn't the child say it?"

The woman sighed, "if he is not blind and born in such a place, the child will not be hungry even if he is not promising in the future."

"When they stole for the first time, they wronged the child. They called him that time. After that, they never said that their brothers and sisters had stolen and wronged him. He suffered," the woman said in a sad voice. "I've lived for more than 30 years, and I've never seen such a kind child."

"Good?"

"He said that if he was beaten, if his brother and sister could eat some good food, there would be nothing wrong. If they could help their parents with their food, the family would be better. If they were useless, they would die." The woman has asked the child, and this is the same thing.

Ling Yun nodded slightly, and then asked, "how can the military pay not be paid?"

"Well, young master, you're not clear when you first came here. Now it's said that there are many corrupt officials. It's good for those soldiers to have a life. As for money, it depends on luck. You have a good relationship with the leader. If you have more money, it depends on the relationship..."

Ling Yun let go of a generation of money and said mildly, "don't be too kind-hearted. If you keep the money well, it's hard to avoid some minor ailments when you are old, so you can save yourself; Even if you go shopping, it's still the same as usual. Just have a foundation in mind. So that no one will gossip about you. "

"Young master..." the woman knows that those rich young men outside are really rich, but she can't do it if she throws a bag to a stranger so casually.

Ling Yun shook his head with a smile and said, "my parents are all from the military. I don't have much money. You can take it, elder sister."

"Good man..." the woman's eyes were full of tears. The old couple in the family were really sick, but they had no money to see a doctor. If they could get money, wouldn't she have gone early?

Ling Yun stood in the shed with the smell of putrefaction and squatted beside the little boy for a long time. He didn't leave until it was almost dawn. Is there really no resentment in his heart? He doesn't believe it.
