Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2254 Beggar
Seeing Fang Jun glance at the few beggars not far in front from time to time, the leader of the family behind him, Wei Ying, rode up, a little behind, leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "Erlang, what's wrong?" .”

Fang Jun whispered: "Do you think those beggars are quite unusual?"

Wei Ying's heart tightened, and he subconsciously pressed his hand on the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist. He frowned and looked forward, but he didn't see why for a long while...

It's just a few beggars, I've seen them a lot, so what's unusual?

"There is nothing unusual..."

Fang Jun said: "No? There are so many unusual places!"

Coughing his throat, he saw that the generals were already surrounded by dragons. When people entering the city saw this group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses, they knew that they were either rich or expensive, and they all stayed away from them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Trouble, then I emphasized softly and said: "I tell you, since the ages, no beggar has wanted to rebel. Why? Because apart from life, old age, sickness and death, as long as a person can get up early, he will not beg for food! "

Wei Ying: "..."

A group of generals: "..."

This may sound like a joke, but after careful consideration, it also makes sense.

Right now, the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous all over the world. In recent years, the weather in Guanzhong has been even more favorable, and there are few refugees.

As long as you are not disabled or elderly women and children, you can always find a bite to eat, and you will not be reduced to begging on the street.

Beggars are a type of vagrants, and vagrants belong to the humble people without household registration and property. Their status is much lower than that of slaves, almost no different from dogs. No one cares about their lives...

What's more, Chang'an is a place under the foot of the emperor and the capital city. The management is usually extremely strict. There are basically few beggars who come to Chang'an to beg. It is also common to have a meal of stewed meat with a whip, or even tie it up and throw it into the Wei River to feed the fish.

Jingzhao Mansion will not care about the life and death of a beggar...

Looking at it this way, these few beggars who were among the crowd waiting to enter the city were indeed suspicious.

Could it be a secret work sent by the countries of the Western Regions?
The generals put their hands on the hilt of the knife one after another, and stared at the beggars with bright eyes. If it is really the secret work of the enemy country, once captured, it will be a credit.

Fang Jun almost died of anger, and quickly winked again and again, these parts just woke up, spread out a little, and dared not stare again.

If it's really an enemy country's secret work, wouldn't you be scared away?
When entering the city, the city guards searched a few beggars, but there was probably nothing to search, so they impatiently waved their hands and put them into the city.

When Fang Jun arrived at the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city rushed up to greet him, nodded and bowed their heads and said hello: "Erlang, did you not return to the city last night? Then be careful of His Highness Gao Yang's family law!"

Fang Jun took a closer look and found that he was the second generation ancestor of the Xungui family. Otherwise, how could the idle soldiers dare to talk to him like this?He himself doesn't mind it. He has reached a certain level, and he doesn't care too much about others being trembling and fearful of you.

The superficial respect has long been forgotten in his heart.

What's the point of smiling and scolding your mother in your heart?
It's just that with his current prestige and status, how many people can make jokes in front of him?

This leaves only these unscrupulous second-generation ancestors...

Fang Jun ignored his ridicule, pointed at the few beggars who had just entered the city gate with the whip in his hand, and said: "Chang'an is an important place in the capital, under the foot of the emperor, if beggars are allowed to run rampant, wouldn't it be detrimental to Datang's face? People can beg everywhere in the world, so they can be driven to other places, and the face of the capital still needs to be maintained."

The city guard was a little bit embarrassed, he pondered for a while, and then said: "This is not something that our little gate guards can expel without authorization, it must be the responsibility of the Jingzhao Mansion, how dare I overstep my authority?"

Fang Jun stared at him for a while, and looked at the soldier so guilty, he turned his head away hastily, not daring to meet Fang Jun's eyes.

Fang Jun was suspicious, although this gatekeeper soldier was no different from ordinary soldiers, but guarding the city gate and checking passers-by was a heavy responsibility, so he was considered a fat job, usually from aristocratic families or from the families of honored ministers and noble relatives The partial branch of the son is in charge, and you can't catch it in a hurry.

These guys are usually arrogant, so why would they care about the Jingzhao Mansion?

Fang Jun said with a sullen face, "If I remember correctly, you belong to the Dugu family?"

The soldier's expression brightened, and he hurriedly said: "That's right, Erlang really has a good memory, the last time His Royal Highness Ankang celebrated his birthday, the little one was ordered to entertain guests outside the gate of the residence."

Fang Jun said: "You are smart and well-mannered, and you are also very talented. I have a good relationship with Dugu Mou. When I drink someday, I will definitely recommend it to him..."

The soldier was even more overjoyed: "Thank you Erlang for your support!"

Although Fang Jun has been dismissed from his post right now, who can't see that this is the intention of the emperor to suppress it?As long as he turns his head, this guy will definitely rise to the top, maybe in the blink of an eye, he can become the chief official of the six yamen, and he may even ascend to the court to pay homage to the prime minister.

Who can ignore such a recommendation?

To be developed!

However, Fang Jun hadn't finished his sentence, so he continued: "... Mobei is a good place. The sky is high, the clouds are wide, the fields are vast, and an aspiring man can fulfill his life's ambition. Shi Ren fights a few battles fiercely, and it is no problem to make meritorious deeds and seal his wife and son."

The soldier's face turned pale...

Don't wait in Guanzhong, who the hell wants to go to Mobei?

Furthermore, that Tuqishi was brave and good at fighting, and surrounded by powerful enemies such as the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks, Kunjian, etc., he still didn't care about safety, and belonged to the kind of fanbang barbarian who couldn't be beaten to death. If the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty did not use firearms, they would be helpless.

Fighting against the Tuqishi people, wouldn't that mean death?
Not all the children of the aristocratic family have a heart to make contributions, more of them are lazy and lazy...

The soldier was helpless, he knew that if Fang Jun really mentioned such a thing to Dugumou, then he would go to Mobei to serve.

I had to look around, and said in a low voice: "Those people are not real beggars, they hold the seal of Prince Jing's mansion, claiming that they are slaves sent by His Royal Highness King Jing to go on business, only because of an accident on the road, that's why they got there. looks like..."

Fang Jun raised his eyebrows thickly.

King Jing's Mansion?
Turning around in my heart, I patted the soldier's shoulder and said, "Dugu Cheng, right? Work hard, you have a future!"

After all, the master will walk away with his own trilogy.

That Dugucheng rubbed his face and let out a bah.

have a future?
The future of fart!
Although Dugu's family is relatives of the emperor, the tree has deep roots, but there are countless children from remote families like him, how can the family take care of them?If some names can be created to attract the attention of the family, perhaps some resources can be obtained to cultivate them, otherwise they can only be left to fend for themselves.

Just now I thought that I was close to Fang Jun. If I could get Fang Jun's recommendation, even if I just mentioned it, it would be my own luck.

Now that Wang Xuance has already become a legend among all Chang'an gatekeepers, who wouldn't want to get lucky like him and be picked up by Junxiang Fang, and from then on, his official career will be prosperous and his career will rise steadily?
It's just that now Dugu Cheng is praying to God and worshiping Buddha, hoping that Fang Jun will quickly forget what happened today, let alone mention it in front of Dugu Mou...

Back at the gate of the city and stood still, I couldn't help complaining about those slaves in King Jing's mansion.

It's so hard to die, why did you come to the city gate at this time?

Depressed in my heart, my temper came up, and it happened that several beggars came in front of me...

Dugu Cheng's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Mother! Damn it, where are these beggars queuing up to enter the city, waiting to be reincarnated?"

The soldiers next to him didn't hear the conversation he had just had with Fang Jun, so they didn't understand why, and wondered: "It's just a few beggars anyway, why are you so angry?"

Dugu deliberately said that if it wasn't for those unlucky beggars just now, why would Fang Jun miss him?As long as that guy said a word before Dugu met, with Dugumou's cautious temperament, he would definitely fight him far away for fear that he would offend Fang Jun.

Although it is only a remote branch of Dugu's family, its surname is Dugu after all, and it is equivalent to a talisman in Chang'an City.

When you go to the capitals and counties outside, who the hell knows who you are?

Those were the worst days!
The anger in my heart rushed upwards, and when I saw the beggars in front of me looking at me from the sidelines, I suddenly became angry, picked up the sheathed horizontal knife in my hand, and directed at these beggars Throwing it over, scolding: "Mother! One or two strong and strong people with hands, feet, why can't they eat a full meal and have to beg along the street? Things like pigs and dogs, I will teach you a lesson for your ancestors today. you!"

The horizontal knife is in a sheath, so it won't hurt people's lives, but it is also an iron object weighing more than ten kilograms. If it hits the body, if the porcelain is solid, it will break bones and tendons.

Misfortune fell from the sky to a few beggars, their faces were stunned, and they were hit by scabbards, screaming and begging for mercy.

Dugu Cheng hit it, and found that these beggars would intentionally or unintentionally protect a beggar with disheveled hair and dirty face in the middle, he was suspicious, and the scabbard kept greeting this beggar.

Sure enough, these beggars would even take the initiative to stand in front of the beggar, Dugu Cheng shouted: "These beggars have problems, let me take them down!"

The soldiers behind him are still in a daze, wondering why this guy is so dedicated to dealing with beggars today?

When the beggars saw that something was going wrong, they didn't know who made a cry, and immediately fled in embarrassment, not caring about entering the city.

The city guards finally realized that these beggars really have a problem, otherwise why would you run away?
"stop!"

"Mother, run away and break your legs!"

"Not one can let go!"

A group of soldiers drew out their horizontal knives one after another, and chased after him with claws and teeth.
