After resting in the inn for one night, he set off again the next day, and arrived outside Fanyang County in the afternoon.

After the evening episode, Zhongli Jiujiu seemed a little unhappy and stopped talking to Xu Buling. She rode her horse in front, looked back from time to time, and then snorted. Even the little sparrow that wanted to ride on the head of the Fengma was called back, looking like she was drawing a clear line.

Xu Buling led his horse to the small street in Xishi. He thought for a while, and quickly walked to Zhongli Jiujiu with a clear smile:

"Miss Jiujiu, the princess is actually just a name. For me, there is no distinction between the people around me..."

Zhongli Jiujiu took two steps away from the outside and frowned and said, "Who wants to be a princess? You should say this to the village. Anyway, I will not agree if the village agrees. You can go to dream..."

Xu Buling also felt that he was a little thick-skinned, but he was telling the truth. There was nothing else to do except smile helplessly.

Zhongli Jiujiu turned her head and looked at the street, not wanting to pay attention to Xu Buling. However, she did not believe in Xu Buling's attitude of treating everyone equally. Perhaps in Xu Buling's heart, the women around her were indeed treated equally, and there was no distinction between superiority and inferiority.

But all men in the world are the same. The girls they like want to be equal, so as not to lose sight of one thing and not be able to enjoy the blessings of all the people.

Although Zhongli Jiujiu has never married, she is naturally good at competing for the style and is very familiar with the wealthy family in the world. Those who are masters may indeed treat everyone equally. No matter whether they are partial or regular houses, as long as they can serve others, they are just a little careless cotton-padded jacket, but the women in the back house don’t think so.

Even in the palace, monogamous wife has many concubines, and the status of a wife cannot be shaken. If the parents' family has a greater power, no one dares to say anything if they obey the master.

Other concubines serve the master at night and have to please the eldest wife during the day. They can bully the younger sister who comes in after watching people's faces everywhere.

So, the old man in the back of the door is a big deal about how to live the rest of his life.

The result was good. She took the initiative to vent her mouth last night, and Xu Buling came up with a saying, "Old Seven". There are six sisters on it. Isn't this obviously bullying?

Although she was born in a woman in the world and was in Nanyue, she was considered a pure and innocent woman. Whether it was based on age, seniority, ability, and appearance, she felt wronged when she was the third and fourth child. She asked her to call a little girl like Yufu, sister, how could she be...

Zhongli Jiujiu didn't fall asleep all night yesterday. She had some intentions, but now she has disappeared. What's the point of such a shameless man? Let Ning Yuhe enjoy himself. Hum...

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

Xu Buling couldn't figure out what Zhongli Jiujiu's attitude is now, but after taking advantage, he didn't turn against him, that was, there was progress. At the moment, he just thought that Zhongli Jiujiu was arrogant.

The two of them had their own thoughts and came to the small street behind West City.

Xu Buling came over and asked for an explanation from Zhongli Jiujiu, which made the unruly news dealer pay the price, but the scene was shocked by him and Zhongli Jiujiu.

The cold wind cleaned the snow on the street, and several fences and taverns closed, making the already depressed street look even more dilapidated.

The old inn in the middle of the street was still open, with a rope hanging from the wooden pillars with wine banners and lanterns. A young man was covered in blood, tied with a rope and hung on his neck. His toes were still dripping with blood, dyeing a pool of black red marks on the snow surface, and it had ice chips.

Zhongli Jiujiu stopped and recognized the young man hanging on the wooden pillar. It was Li Lin who sent her a message a few days ago.

Liu Wu, the shopkeeper of the inn, was still lying on the recliner under the eaves, but now he looked not much better than the hanged apprentice. His ankles and right wrist were bleeding, and his hands and feet were obviously being picked. His eyes were closed and bloodstained, and blood was also oozing from his ears and mouth. He was probably blinded and his tongue was cut, leaving only one with his left hand holding a purple clay pot. Judging from his movements, he was not dead.

"this……"

Zhongli Jiujiu was frightened. Although he had seen many dead people in the world, he was still shocked by this inhumane scene. He blinded his ears, cut his tongue, and cut off his hands and feet. It was much more vicious than killing people directly. It felt like just imagination was cold.

Xu Buling frowned, and was also a little surprised. He came over and was preparing to kill people, but he did not have such a revenge. He made the inn shopkeeper like this, not like revenge, but more like a punishment or a declaration to the outside world.

Xu Buling led the horse to the front of the inn, looked up at the corpse on the pillar, full of holes, and didn't know how torture he suffered before his death. Looking at the eaves, Liu Wu was indeed not dead, but his ears and eyes lost their perception and had no reaction.

There was a brazier burning inside the gate of the inn, and a young man was sitting at the door to cook the fire. Xu Buling looked at it for a moment and recognized the young man. It turned out to be the waiter who often chatted with the shopkeeper in the Huangkou Town Yuelai Inn.

The waiter saw Xu Buling and Zhongli Jiujiu, and hurriedly picked up a wooden pallet from his side, with a plate of silver in it, walked out of the door and came to the two of them, and looked kind and happy:

"I'm really bad at treating the girl. This is because my Youzhou River has produced a rat shit. The uncles on the road have cleared the door. In the future, the young man took over the Fanyang County City. The money was paid by Liu Wu, and my shopkeeper also paid some of it. The girl's news was that the apprentice Li Lin sold it to Yanqi Villa on his own initiative. Liu Wu has been rooted in Youzhou for forty years and has never broken the rules once. He hopes that the girl is magnanimous and will be settled."

Xu Buling heard this and understood the meaning.

The news about Zhongli Jiujiu was sold to Yanqi Villa by Liu Wu's apprentice privately. The local news dealer in Youzhou had already received the news and came to clean up the portal and arranged for the apprentice of Yuelai Inn to come and take over.

Xu Buling, who was in their business, had learned a little about it, just like Mr. Chen Si of Chang'an City, sold his employer's news and killed his whole family according to the rules. Therefore, he would rather have a conflict with the Wolf Guard than communicate with the people in the Renyi Hall of the world.

If Zhongli Jiujiu is sold, it will make the news dealers in Youzhou lose their trust. They must make the bad rules public to make the people who come and go to the world feel at ease to find them. However, it was not Liu Wu who made the mistake. Liu Wu has been living in Youzhou for many years and has some seniority. The shopkeeper of the adjacent Yuyang County Yuelai Inn opened his mouth to ask for a relationship and see if Zhongli Jiujiu is willing to leave the matter.

If Zhongli Jiujiu accepts the rules and refuses to agree, he has to follow the rules and kill the whole family.

Zhongli Jiujiu knew these iron rules in the world, and this was the first time he had encountered them. Seeing that Liu Wu, who had been in contact with ten years ago, ended up so miserably, hesitated and raised his hand to take over the money:

"Thank you for helping me seek justice. It's just... it's enough to just kill Li Lin. There's no need to be so extreme."

The shopkeeper sighed and had a calm attitude: "Rules are rules. This is for people in our industry, not for girls. Girls can be generous and have a lot of gratitude."

“…”

Zhongli Jiujiu hesitated for a while, and didn't know what to say. She nodded and turned around and left the street.

Xu Buling walked beside him with his horse, looked back at the body and Liu Wu lying on the chair, and thought for a while:

"There are good things in the world, but it's too extreme. Speaking of which, the law is more just."

Zhongli Jiujiu poured the silver into the horse's bag and shook his head and said, "The government is unfair. The people who sued the officials without asking the reason will beat the board first. The barefoot people will never beat the gentry in their entire lives. It is better to deal with it too well than to protect the officials and no one cares about it..."

Xu Buling did not deny this. This is what the family is like. It is said that the prince violated the law and the common people. But if he really broke the law, someone dared to report to the officials. No yamen dared to sentence him. If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be so many things like "an ordinary man's anger and blood splashed five steps" would have happened.

This is the framework of the world. Unless Xu Buling wants to destroy all the privileged classes, including himself, it is meaningless to talk about these things.

When he walked out of Fanyang County, Zhongli Jiujiu saw that Xu Buling had not spoken, and thought that Xu Buling was the prince of a vassal prince. He was too careful when he heard her words, and immediately spoke:

"I mean Dayue's court is not good, I didn't say you are bad. The old general Xu Lie was a butcher and also came out of a poor family. Although he was famous back then, he was very honest to the people. Nanyue has been bullied by people in the Central Plains since ancient times, and the soldiers came and went. Only your Xu family's army did not go to the village to grab food, but the murder was really cruel. I heard from the old man in the village that he was so scared that he hid on the mountain and didn't even dare to go back to the village. As a result, after the soldiers passed, he returned to the village and found that the crops were still there, and no one took the clothes hanging outside..."

Xu Buling recalled it and chuckled, "My grandfather wanted to unify the world and not treat the people from all over the world as outsiders. Other generals were conquering cities and territory in the enemy country, so they naturally would not treat the people of the enemy country as human beings. They had different ideas and their methods of doing things were naturally different."

Zhongli Jiujiu felt enlightened, thought for a moment, and glanced at Xu Buling:

"What about you?"

"If I call your village..."

"Dare you! Believe it or not, I will poison you?"

"……All right."

Xu Buling knew that he was wrong and raised his hand to show his apology. Seeing Zhongli Jiujiu's fierceness, he smiled and changed the topic:

"Miss Jiujiu, I trust you very much. You always threaten me with poison. Over time, I will be on guard against it. This is very sad to have feelings."

Zhongli Jiujiu snorted faintly: "You don't need to be wary, it's useless to be wary. I really want to poison it, but you can't help it. I've learned a secret technique that can poison it there. As soon as you stab it in..."

Speaking of this, Zhongli Jiujiu stopped, coughed gently, with a slightly strange expression.

??

Xu Buling glanced at him and his eyes fell on Zhongli Jiujiu's tension-filled lower curve:

"Where does this 'there' mean?"

Seeing Xu Buling's eyes with a bit of teasing and disbelief, Zhongli Jiujiu frowned and said:

"You are a big man, don't you think about it yourself? The night before yesterday, I didn't want to guard against you, so I was dead if I didn't let you kiss me..."

Xu Buling laughed twice and said, "Miss Jiujiu is my doctor, so she shouldn't be watching me die, right?"

"If you dare to touch each other again, see if I will watch you die!"

"I probably won't."

Zhongli Jiujiu wanted to say "You try", but she immediately realized that she dared to say that, Xu Buling would definitely try it on the spot, so she changed her words:

"It's good that you know. I treat you as a friend, don't go too far."
