Han Shizu

Chapter 1726 Why are the people safe?

Narrow streets and alleys, crowded houses, dilapidated huts, rotten thatched roofs, dirty roads...

Livestock feces and human urine can be seen everywhere, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell.

On Zhongxinfang Street, there are merchants, private houses, children chasing each other, and the smell of fireworks. Passers-by are in a hurry and seldom stop. There are beggars begging in the corners, and there are even wandering warblers in front of some low-rise houses. .

Liu Yang just stood on the street, with a slightly gloomy expression, very ugly, and even a little at a loss.Looking around, what he sees and sees, there is no scene of Kaibao prosperity, the scene of poverty, chaos, and filth is presented in the most intuitive way before his eyes.

Such a situation, I have to say, made Liu Yang feel a little panicked and very uncomfortable.Kai Bao Shengshi always gave him the impression that the river is clean and the sea is clean, the people are rich, the country is rich and the people are strong, but precisely in this capital, at the foot of the emperor, there is also such a place where poverty intersects.

Back then, when Kaifeng was newly built, it was so magnificent and glamorous.As one of the most powerful cities in the world, Kaifeng has always been a symbol of the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people, and the whole court is proud of it. Even Liu Yang always has a sense of pride in his heart.

However, the situation in Le'an Square caused that layer of camouflage exuding the glory of a great man to be ruthlessly torn apart, and the real side that was neglected or unwilling to face was put in front of him bloody. Miserable, straight to the bone marrow.

The problem of the big Han is not limited to the chaos in the northwest and civil unrest, and it is by no means the only case.What made Liu Yang a little annoyed was that no one had ever reported these situations to him.

He has been in power for many years, and he considers himself diligent. Under the influence of Emperor Liu, he has always paid attention to people's livelihood, but now it seems that there are still too few, and his vision is still too narrow. Even the emperor's feet still have such an ugly side. Why? On the vast world.

Above the court, it is not purely to report good news but not bad news. However, most of them focus on "major national affairs", and there are not many people and energy devoted to the suffering of ordinary people.

No matter how high the tune is sung, no matter how correct the politics are, the attention to small people is limited after all.If you can see the whole picture at a glance, Tokyo is like this, and there is really no need to have too much optimism in other places.

"Daddy!"

The sleeves were pulled, Liu Yang came back to his senses, looked down, Liu Wenji was covering his nose, looking at himself, obviously a little unbearable the unpleasant smell lingering around the tip of his nose.Obviously, for Liu Wenji, such a situation has never been encountered before.

"Put your hands down!" For some reason, Liu Yang rebuked with a little anger in his heart.

Liu Wenji was taken aback. He felt that his father was a little scary at this moment, so he quickly put down his hands and dared not say anything.Seeing this, Liu Yang took a deep breath, and said earnestly: "You have smelled the fragrance of nectar at home, so naturally you can't stand the filthy smell. However, you must smell these smells. You just feel uncomfortable for a while, so bear with it." It’s over, and the people living on the street in this square, they have to endure it for many years.”

Of course, Liu Wenji didn't quite understand what Liu Yang said, but seeing his father's serious words, he still nodded obediently. After that, he was just held by Liu Yang's hand and followed silently. Dirty, no more complaints.

After crossing the street and going around the square a few times, Liu Yang finally stopped and stood in front of a private house.Cooking smoke is rising, and the aroma of rice slightly dilutes the peculiar smell in the air. Through the open door, you can see the crowded layout inside. There are many people, but most of the people who are active are old, weak, women, children, and young men. Most of them go out. Earn money for a living.

Just about to start walking, to visit inside and observe the people's sentiments, there was a movement at the corner of the street.Looking from a distance, it was a fight. To be precise, it was three people beating a young man. They punched and kicked very hard. Apart from howling, she hugged her head and shrank back, enduring the bullying.

Following his father, Liu Wenji couldn't help being attracted by the movement, looked around curiously, saw the situation clearly, and subconsciously shrank behind Liu Yang.Liu Yang lightly touched Liu Wenji's head to comfort him, his expression remained serious, and he didn't have much anger about this situation, but just watched calmly.

On both sides of the street, there were also many residents sticking their heads out, but they just looked around, and no one stood up to stop them. This kind of brawling, rogue bullying, seems to have long been used to it.Small people have their own way of life, they have nothing to do with themselves, and they will never provoke unbearable troubles easily.

The guards surrounded him early, and Wang Yue had sensed the prince's deplorable mood early, and finally said at this moment: "Your Highness, there are mixed fish and dragons here, so in order to avoid accidents, let's leave for now, and I will send someone to solve this matter! "

"Solution?" Hearing this, Liu Yang immediately asked back: "How do you solve it, can you save that person, and save the people in this whole square?"

"Is this Lifang owned by the big man and under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion?"

Obviously, Liu Yang is asking himself and also introspecting.

However, Liu Yang was a kind-hearted person after all, and he was not immersed in sadness all the time. Seeing those people still fighting, they were still fighting each other, so they sent guards to stop them.

Before they could make the trip, a few more people appeared, dressed in black uniforms, they were guards patrolling the streets.The leader was a rough-looking man who obviously came after hearing the sound.

The guard's reaction was also very straightforward, and he didn't call to stop. Several people rushed up and beat the three people who beat them. Dare to take a position, and greeted those three people fiercely.

More miserable screams rang out in the streets and alleys, and it was not until they were tired from beating that the leading officer stepped on one of them, panting, and said viciously, "Why are you making trouble and beating people?"

The layer of black skin on his body is a symbol of power, extremely deterrent.Not daring to meet the guard's eyes, he said fearfully, "This kid, you won't pay back your debts."

Hearing this, the officer rushed to the man who was beaten first and said, "Why didn't you pay back the money?"

The man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his breath seemed very weak, but he dared not answer, and whispered: "The little one has no money!"

The officer kicked the leading rascal roughly again, and said coldly: "The rules of the government, you don't pay attention to them? I told you earlier, don't cause trouble, you just want to go to the prison , or do you want to fill the prison camp?"

"Don't dare, the villain doesn't dare!" Hearing this, the leading scoundrel repeatedly shook his head and begged for mercy.

Seeing this, the officer moved away the foot that was on his chest, and said coldly: "I don't care what grievances you have. But I will warn you again, please keep quiet and don't ask for trouble!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Have you seen enough of the excitement? Leave it all to me!" Looking around, the officer yelled at the surroundings again, his protruding head quickly shrank back like an electric shock, and closed the door.

After being taught a lesson and showing off his prestige, the officer seemed satisfied, greeted his subordinates, and walked away slowly.Several subordinates loosened their wrists, as if they hadn't enjoyed the fight.

Those scoundrels stood up in embarrassment, even though they were in pain, they still did not forget to put on a humble posture and respectfully see them off.After the messenger left, the leader kicked the "debt debtor" who was still lying on the ground hard: "It's you, who made me get beaten! Take him away!"

The two subordinates gave him a kick each in annoyance, and set him up, and the four figures quickly disappeared at the corner of the street.

Standing in the distance, Liu Yang had a panoramic view of what happened until the streets and alleys were empty, and he still stood there, not understanding anything, and his followers subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to say anything.

Liu Yang was not an irritable person, but at this moment, his chest was filled with anger. After a long time, he asked Wang Yue, "This place is Anminfang, right?"

"Your Highness, that's right!" Wang Yue almost shrank his neck and replied.

"How can the people be safe?"
