The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 71 The Real World
At this time, Chen Jingke felt refreshed as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, and most of the depression in his heart dissipated.

It's not all because of beating that Wang Xiuqi, it's mainly because he figured out one thing through the beating.

His body was only ten years old, it was impossible to beat Wang Xiuqi and his three servants, he couldn't even beat one of them, but in the end it was he who beat them up hard.

why?
Leverage.

Give me a fulcrum, and I can tilt the earth.

He who is weak can use the power of Cheng Huailiang and the others to teach Wang Xiuqi a lesson, so as long as he keeps getting stronger, he can use the power of more people, and one day he will be able to shake the order of the entire society.

In the past, he could use the excuse that he was weak and that he could not turn the times around personally, and then accept everything in this era with peace of mind.

But after experiencing everything today, if he, who was born under the red flag and grew up in New China, and has received a complete set of modern education, can remain indifferent, it will be a failure for all mankind.

It is indeed unrealistic in this era not to expect to establish a society ruled by law where everyone is equal.But even if it's just making people's lives a little easier, it's better than doing nothing, isn't it?

It was precisely because he had figured this out that his thoughts became clear, and he led a group of people to walk back with arrogance.

It's just that he was stopped by Marquis Wu who was patrolling the city just after he walked out. After all, it is very sensitive to see so many people gather at the feet of the emperor.

After confirming their identities, Marquis Wu not only didn't stop them, but also warmly assigned a few people to help them lead the way.

Chen Jingke knew very well that he was actually monitoring them.There is Yishanfang across Changlefang and the Imperial Palace, so no one can afford to be responsible if something goes wrong.

Not long after walking, something happened again. The woman with the child passed out while walking, and the child who had never cried once finally burst into tears.

Chen Jingke hurried over to check. After learning medical skills from Sun Simiao for so long, he could still judge the most basic things.

This woman is chronically malnourished and mentally exhausted, and has been supporting herself on one breath.The breath in his heart that finally escaped from the devil's cave relaxed, and he couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.

After making sure it wasn't another big problem, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the restless people around him, "Don't worry, she just passed out from hunger, just eat something and take a rest."

Only then did everyone's emotions settle down again. It wasn't that they had any feelings for this woman. The main reason was that everyone was bought together, and their fates were connected for a short time, and they subconsciously panicked.

In fact, she was not the only one who was hungry and tired. Except for the two sisters, everyone was very hungry, and they were just gritting their teeth to persevere.

Cheng Huailiang knew that going on like this was not an option, so he said, "My real man, why don't you take everyone to find a secluded place to rest for a while, and I'll go to the front and buy some food and come back to pad their stomachs before leaving."

Chen Jingke also saw this, and said, "Okay, then I will trouble Brother Hong Liang."

Hearing that there will be food later, the group of people became excited.

Two able-bodied men took the initiative to stand up to support the woman, while Chen Jingke handed over the girl to the two sisters to take care of them, and everyone came to rest in an open space not far away.

While waiting, Chen Jingke had a brief understanding of this group of people.

The blacksmith's name is Niu Ben. He is very tall and his arms are thicker than a normal person's thighs, but he is very reserved and reticent.

The family's grandparents have been blacksmiths for generations, but fortunately they are not registered craftsmen, and having the status of civilians is relatively free.

The year before last, the local government assigned a task and asked him to hand in ironware beyond his ability, so he had to borrow money to complete the task.

Then he fell into the debt of donkey rolling, until he went bankrupt and the whole family of seven was sold into slavery.

The two sisters are named Yihe and Yilian. As mentioned earlier, they are the daughters of a concubine from a wealthy family.

Fortunately, their father is still qualified and treats their mother and daughter well. He also asks his husband to teach them how to read and write.Their mother also taught them musical instruments, dancing, and how to please people from an early age.

If everything goes well, they should get married under the arrangement of their father and live their lives in a normal way—their father was already helping the elder sister Yihe to find a suitable family.

Unfortunately, their mother died of illness two years ago.Not only did the sisters lose their mother, but their marriage was also delayed because of the three-year filial piety period.

According to the folk customs at this time, women were married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and those who were not married after the age of age were considered old girls—except for keeping filial piety.

If the mother does not die of illness, the two sisters have been married normally in the past two years, and there will be nothing to do later.

Perhaps fate felt that this was not enough, and took away their father's life with an illness half a year ago, and the two sisters lost all their support.

But this is not over yet, the mistress of the house couldn't wait to sell the two of them just after the filial piety period, and sold them to a dental shop at a low price, and the original surname was also taken away when they were sold.

That is to say, the Yaman Zhao Mule wanted to sell the two of them for a high price, so he didn't touch them, otherwise they would end badly.

How miserable it is, just look at the fainted woman next to her.

According to people around her, her name is Qingju, and she can roughly guess her identity by hearing her name.He was sold to a wealthy family as a slave since he was a child, and he had no surname but only a first name.

Because of his outstanding looks, he was selected by the owner for training, and then given to others as a gift.

After changing hands several times, it fell into the hands of a wealthy businessman. This time, he finally lived a stable life for two or three years and gave birth to a daughter.

The rich businessman treated their mother and daughter pretty well. At first, she thought she was lucky to live her life like this.
Facts have proved that she was overthinking. Two months ago, the rich businessman had to go back to his hometown in a hurry, so he sold their mother and daughter to a dental firm before leaving.

It was like a bolt from the blue to her, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Dentistry is hell, especially for a pretty woman like her.First, she was violated by Zhao Mule and others, and later treated as a prostitute to make money.

She was expecting someone to buy her away, but Zhao Mule completely regarded her as a cash cow and had no intention of selling her at all.

No one knows how much she earned for Zhao Mule in the past two months in the tooth shop, but at least it was more than ten times the price of her contract, and all she got was a body of pain and two bowls of corn porridge a day.

She wanted to die, but her daughter was still there, and she couldn't bear to leave her child alone in this purgatory.

Maybe God felt that he had played enough tricks on her, so Chen Jingke appeared.

……

The others also had their own reasons, some were sold by their family members to pay off their gambling debts, some were sold because their families were too poor to support them, some were sold off by the bankrupt family, and some were sold by the original owners.

To sum it up in one sentence, this is the truth in the world.
