Chapter 209 What happened to theft and robbery?
In the hall, besides the county magistrate, stood two tall men in military uniforms, all in bright armor, with shining silver eyes.

Those two people stood upright with their backs to the door, lowered their heads slightly, and were looking at a dead body on the ground, without saying a word.

And County Magistrate Liu stood cautiously huddled in a corner, as if he was afraid that he would take up too much space and not be humble enough.

Turning around and seeing Shen Liuzhen and the others coming, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "The imperial envoy is here."

When the two men in uniform heard this, they turned sideways and looked back, then turned around completely reluctantly, put their hands on their sabers, raised their chins proudly, and looked at Shen Liuzhen for a step Come in step by step.

Under the threatening eyes of these two Xianbei generals, Shen Liuzhen stepped up the steps calmly and stood in front of them.

Then they looked at each other with several pairs of eyes, and it was Shen Liuzhen who spoke first and said:
"The two generals look familiar, but sorry for my poor memory, I can't remember their names..."

One of the Xianbei generals turned his body slightly, squinted at Shen Liuzhen, and gave a disdainful "hum", and said:

"You don't remember us, but I remember you. Aren't you the coward who was so scared that he almost peed on his pants the day Linjiang City was destroyed?"

When Xie Yuan heard this, he slightly raised his eyes to look at the speaker in surprise... and found that this person was the young general who led people to attack Linjiang City, and later received Xie's father's letter of surrender.

At the beginning, he was only sixteen or seventeen, but now he is in his early 20s, much taller than before, and his appearance is more rough.But still recognizable...

How can you not recognize it? ... Xunya died on that day.And their painstaking efforts and hopes for several months were all ruined in the hands of this person!

"It turned out to be General Hengjia... I remembered it. I haven't seen him for a few years. General Hengjia has become more powerful. I almost didn't recognize him." Shen Liuzhen said with a smile on his face, not at all angry because of Shi Yuhengjia's previous sarcasm, Not to mention the word "shame".

Shi Yuhengjia felt the piercing gaze on his body, and looked at Xie Yuan alertly. Xie Yuan quickly lowered his head and closed his gaze, maintaining the standing posture of a little maid.

Although Shi Yuhengjia was a little surprised at that moment's eye contact, but when he saw Xie Yuan's attire, he gave her a disdainful look and didn't take it to heart.

"My name is He Languang." The other general looked at Shen Liuzhen impatiently.

When he said this, Shen Liuzhen's face showed a little surprise.

He Languang seemed to have met Zong Ai at his residence when he was in power. If he remembered correctly, this person was with Prince Mu He.

Shen Liuzhen's bright eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "It turns out to be General He Lan, who has admired his name for a long time."

After he finished speaking, when he looked at Shi Yu Hengjia again in a blink of an eye, the smile on his face became more gentle.

There is no way, although Shi Yuhengjia's mouth is stinky, but he is a loyal supporter of Emperor Shi Yu Wulei, following him is much safer than following this He Languang.

"Two generals, it's great that you are here. I have honored His Majesty's imperial decree and came to the front of the battle in place of His Majesty to watch the battle between the two armies. I never thought, why are there still Xianbei people who came to assassinate me? I am a little I don't have any rights, and I don't know who is in the way." Shen Liuzhen looked at the corpse on the ground and said distressedly.

Shi Yu Hengjia glanced at the corpse on the ground, his lips moved, as if he had something to say, but he didn't speak in the end.

But He Languang said coldly: "You think too much! It's just a thief and robbery. What does it have to do with whether you have rights or not?"

Shen Liuzhen seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "It shouldn't be, right now Xianbei people still can't afford to eat and rely on stealing to make a living?"

The population of the Xianbei people was not large. With the convenience of the Xianbei people establishing the imperial court, they were always superior to other races, and they were the clan that benefited the most from the Wei Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, they can rob openly, who would secretly be a thief or a robber?

When Shen Liuzhen said this, he originally wanted to force them to admit that there were Xianbei nobles who wanted to harm him, and it was related to disobedience to His Majesty.

But I didn't expect that when He Languang heard it, he looked at Shen Liuzhen and sneered, and said confidently:
"What's wrong with stealing and robbery? We Xianbei people have always been brave, and if we have the ability to kill and steal goods, we are also a hero. Isn't it better than you Han people begging along the street?"

Shen Liuzhen's mouth, which was slightly open in feigning surprise, immediately closed.He looked at He Languang who was about 30 years old in front of him, with a silent expression on his face.

He was truly astonished, and began to question himself: How did I think that I would tell such a person that stealing was bad in virtue and contemptible, and that most people would not do it?
Does he know what it means to be "not to be poor, not to be cheap, not to change one's ambition, only benevolence, only righteous deeds. When you get rich, you will turn against righteousness, get rich when you are unrighteous, be famous and expensive, and the benevolent will not do it." "?
It was the first time for Shen Liuzhen to meet someone who was even more shameless than himself.No, it should be said to be extremely shameless.

He realized that he was at a loss for words and had nothing to say. He could only lower his head and hold his hands slightly, staring at the corpse on the ground, in a daze...

It wasn't just him, the whole room was in this silence and silence, each with their own thoughts, revealing a sense of "mutual contempt", and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging.

Han people like Shen Liuzhen, Xie Yuan, and County Magistrate Liu naturally despise the barbarism and lack of shame and morality of Xianbei people like He Languang, while He Languang despises the uselessness and cowardice of Han people...

Only Shi Yu Hengjia... He felt a little ashamed.

Although, he also feels that those who have the ability to kill and steal goods are indeed better than those who beg for food, but this can't be said clearly, as long as he knows it, doesn't it make him not "noble and civilized" enough to say it?

The reason why the Han people always call them Beiyi people, barbarians, isn't it because they look down on them for being illiterate, uneducated, and lacking in courtesy, justice and shame?

Shi Yuhengjia finally broke the silence and said: "It's just a young man, since he's dead, let's let this matter go."

He looked at Shen Liuzhen, and asked in a bad tone:
"Do you want to go to the camp of the Chinese army? Now all the military towns are busy gathering troops to support them. Why are you notifying so many people? How many people do you need to protect each?"

Shen Liuzhen hurriedly bowed slightly, and said apologetically, "Yes, yes... I also thought that you might not be able to spare some time. But I was afraid that someone would come to kill me again, so I had to notify a few more places to see who is free and who will come... …worked out the two generals."

Shi Yuhengjia snorted again, put one hand on his hips, pointed at Shen Liuzhen with dissatisfaction and said:

"If you know that the military situation is urgent, you shouldn't come out and run around without permission. Don't think that you can mess with us because of His Majesty's will. I will report to His Majesty and sue you later!"

Shen Liuzhen smiled, showing two dimples, and said: "Don't, General Heng Jia, the front line has ceased fighting and is negotiating a peace. That's why I asked General Mu He to accommodate me and went home... General Mu He agreed of."
