Lao Yao shook his head and laughed bitterly. Then he said, "in fact, those of you who are on duty outside are Tiangao and the emperor is far away. But what about us? It's equivalent to drilling around under the emperor's feet every day. If you don't pay attention, you'll lose your life! So many people want to climb to the capital city, but only after climbing in can they realize the fear and danger of the capital city! "
"So it's not peaceful in the capital recently?" I asked.
"Ha ha, peace? When was peace again? From ancient times to the present, where is this matter in the officialdom, where is it not clear that they are making money with amity and cheating behind them? If we say that ordinary people wear a mask on their faces when they are adults, those like us who have lived with official seals must take at least eight, and one of them may lose his head. "
I nodded. Yes, officialdom is dangerous. It has always been this truth since ancient times. Although I am not a big official, I have already realized it.
Then Lao Yao said, "brother Chen Kai, you don't know something. The present capital, ah, is not what it used to be."
He raised his hand and pointed to the roof of the car. Then he said, "what's the biggest thing on our head? It's the sky. What's the biggest in the world? It's the emperor. That's our boss. But now? Ah, it's time for the general election again. Fengshui turns and the boss takes turns, but it's time to change dynasties again
"What happened?" I said with a smile: "brother Yao, this matter can be said a little bit floating, after all, it's such a big thing, we can't reach the edge."
"Although that's what you say, there's a saying you should always hear. It's called" one emperor, one courtier. "When the top of the tree is blown by the wind, there's nothing that doesn't shake. The only thing that doesn't move is the roots buried in the ground. The roots are the people. What's the use of that? Whether it moves or not, it's just dregs buried in the soil, which can't hinder the overall situation. But the biggest problem now lies in the treetops and trunks, which is not a small problem... "
When Yao finished, a burst of voice came from behind me: "I don't think you're right. You've totally missed the point."
I quickly looked back. The speaker was a slightly balding old man, wearing a pair of glasses. Although he was wearing prison clothes and shackles, he was different from the other prisoners who were full of flesh and blood. He was inexplicably full of scholarly spirit. He seemed to be a scholar.
Another difference is that the other prisoners are handcuffed together in groups of two, and they are far away from us, and the middle is deliberately separated by two armed police who are in charge of guarding. However, this prisoner is not the same. He always sits in the empty seat behind us, as if he were deliberately separated from other prisoners.
When he interrupted, Lao Yao immediately changed his face, but the old man said to himself, "I think the most important thing about a tree is not the top of the tree, but the root that is not valued by you. If there is no root, the whole tree will die, and it may fall at any time. Therefore, what has been buried in the soil quietly to support the whole tree is that it is deeply rooted in the big tree The root in the earth, any wind and rain, thunder and lightning may make a tree fall, but the root will always firmly bind the earth... "
"What do you know?"
As soon as he was refuted by the old man, Yao scolded him directly and said, "I respect you and put you in your present position. You still kick your nose and face, don't you?"? Take him to the back and sit with the prisoners
After Yao finished, the two soldiers obediently grabbed the old man, but the old man was still silent. After pushing his glasses, he was pulled to the male prisoner's area in the carriage and sat down.
Old Yao was still a little angry. I asked with a smile, "brother Yao, who is this man? You don't want to live well with such courage? "
Although I said so, I admired the old man's courage and insight in my heart. Although I had a little experience, I felt that the old man was right.
"Actually, I don't know much about it. I heard that he was a political prisoner. I think he is honest and honest. He is old and different from other prisoners. He was afraid that he would be beaten if he was sitting with those prisoners. So he was kind enough to let him sit on our side. He really didn't appreciate it."
"Ha ha, don't be angry, brother Yao. Let's continue to talk about us. Why should we pay attention to him?"
"Well, don't mention him. I'm angry."
Lao Yao nodded. Then he lowered his voice. He pressed himself on the table and said, "brother, do you know? At present, the sky is going to change at the top, and there are two groups at the bottom. One group supports the old group, and the other supports the new one. In fact, there is not a lot of trouble in the capital. I heard that the local people are about to hit the dog's head because of this problem. In short, both sides are trying to attract each other's people. You can either follow me or kill me, or I will crush you There have been a lot of cases recently. Ah, those of us who are stuck in the middle are not easy to do! If you flatter one side, you will hurt the other side. If you flatter the other side, you will find trouble for you. What do you want us to do? "
The more he said, the more worried he became. He wanted to twist his eyebrows into a "eight". So I quickly advised him to say, "brother Yao, since both sides are not easy to offend, we should just stay neutral and not get involved. Isn't that ok?""Neutral? Ha ha, brother, remember, there is no neutral in this world. If you become a king, if you lose, you will be a bandit, not if you don't choose. Let me tell you this. Everyone is clamoring for freedom and the right to choose. In fact, the most indispensable thing in our life is the right to choose. We have to choose everything by ourselves. On the contrary, we have never had the right to choose... "
He sighed. Then he looked up at Han Zhuo, who was sitting at the back of the car. He looked at me again and said, "take the woman you brought to the car this time. Brother, you said you wanted to be neutral. You said you wanted not to be involved, but now you are not involved?"
"What do you say?" I frowned and asked with a smile.
"Do you know how big the case she's carrying this time? How many people will be involved? As soon as she arrived at the wh, she just had to open her mouth, and the boy would be doomed in the wh. It doesn't matter if he is finished. He will speak freely in order to survive. When she pulls along this line, it will not be one or two people who will collapse! Brother, it's going to change. It's not as simple as you think
Old Yao said here, my heart also a burst of discomfort, more from his mouth for the first time, he said our destination is wh, I squint to understand this, my mind can not help but emerge Zhao Zhi's face.
Before I came, Zhao Zhi told me clearly that I still had the top secret mobile phone that Zhao Zhi gave me. Besides, Zhao Zhi, an old oilseed, believed me more. What he told me was that he was wrong with Lao Yao. I muttered in my heart, but on my face, I said with a little surprise that we were going to wh? It's like the first time I heard about the destination.
Lao Yao nodded, but on this issue, it seems that he doesn't want to say more. I know, this is confidential.
But what Yao said seems to be that in addition to our TJ, it is also the same bird in the upward direction, which is turbulent. I don't want to be involved in this matter. I'm still a little sure about TJ. If I'm going up, I feel that I will definitely die miserably. However, do I still have a chance to quit?
……
After all, it was too boring to sit there. I fell asleep in the car. When I woke up again, it was already noon. As soon as Lao Yao saw that I was awake, he immediately patted my arm and said with a smile, "brother, are you hungry? Let's go. It's time to eat. Let's go to the dining car. "
"To the dining car? But... "
I looked back at the expressionless prisoners. Before I could speak, Lao Yao said, "ah, don't worry. It's the same whether we are here or not. It's enough to have so many armed guards. In a short time, they will go to the dining car in batches, so we don't have to worry about it."
Since old Yao had said that, I had nothing to say, so I politely said to him, "brother Yao, you go first. I'll tell the people below something and I'll come to you in a moment."
"That's good, that's good, Xiao Zhang. You'll accompany the Chen Kai brothers to the past later."
Old Yao finish saying, the assistant standing beside him who has been silent nodded and watched him leave.
After Yao left, I went to Han Zhuo's seat and told Sun Yi, who was sitting next to Han Zhuo, to keep a good eye on the movement in the carriage. Then I went to the dining car with the assistant named "Xiao Zhang".
In fact, the dining car is separated from our carriage by a corridor, which separates the two carriages where we escort prisoners from those carrying ordinary passengers in front of us. After entering the dining car from our side, we must first bypass the kitchen along the corridor on one side to see the dining hall of the dining car.
I opened the door of the corridor and was about to step into the carriage. Zhang, who had been silent, patted me on the shoulder.
I stopped immediately, looked back at him with a smile and asked, "Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?"
Xiao Zhang first looked around and saw that there was no one else around. Then he opened his mouth: "Chen Kai, there are some things I should not have said, but I heard that you are a close friend of group leader Zhao, so I can only say more."
Seeing Xiao Zhang's face was dignified, I also guessed that he must have something important to say, but he deliberately pretended to be unimportant and said to him, "if there is anything, you can just say it directly. Everyone should not be outside."
"I'll tell you the truth. Yao talked to you a lot just now, but I'd like to advise you not to believe any of his words..."
