Chapter 639: Only by becoming them can you understand them

"What is the Taoist priest's order? I'll ask for instructions!" Bo Yikao shook his sleeves, then bowed and clasped his fists, and said to Cao Zhe.

In any case, Cao Zhe's move allowed him to see the shadow of the prosperous era under the rule of Xiqi.

For Bo Yikao, this is a unique experience.

It is also a must-pay attention when governing Xiqi later.

And then... it's just that!

This is all his limitations as a person of this era.

He would not think about why some people live in luxurious castles, while others do not even have shelter or clothes to cover themselves.

"Stop talking nonsense! Join them..."

"In a month, I'm going to see you and them completely blend."

“This is the first stop of the trip.”

"If you can't do it, then whether it's saving your father or dismantling the pressure from Chaoge, you need to return to Xiqi immediately to bear it." Cao Zhe said.

Bo Yikao didn't think much about it, jumped off the horse's back, then walked towards the crowd with his head held high.

Behind Bo Yikao, Cao Zhe waved his hand to seal his not-so-savvy cultivation, causing him to completely fall into a mortal who was just a strong body.

Bo Yikao's pace was slightly chaotic, but he still strided hard, without any hesitation.

He is knowledgeable, well-educated, well-versed in astronomy and geography, proficient in musical instruments and painting, and is also the first heir to Xiqi.

On the land of Xiqi under his feet, his confidence should not be just the clothes that appear on the surface.

On the first day, Bo Yikao seemed to have easily "integrated" among the poor civilians.

Xiqi does not have a very strict household registration management system, which is the basis for Boyikao's integration.

The way to distinguish slaves from civilians is also simple and crude.

Slaves often have unique imprints left by their masters.

Bo Yikao, who entered here, seemed to have succeeded, but everyone was very polite to him.

During the verbal conversation, he was looking at him with a scrutiny.

The next day, Bo Yikao lost a pair of shoes.

Although the straw sandals are not comfortable to wear, they are quite intact and can be regarded as important property for any civilian family here.

Bo Yikao looked for his shoes barefoot for a long time.

Finally, they were found at the feet of a six-year-old boy.

Then he smiled and gave the shoes to the boy in front of many people.

And he educated boys that they would not be ashamed of barefoot, but that they would be ashamed of stealing.

What humans are different from animals is because they know how to be ashamed.

And he himself continued to barefoot, enjoying the gaze that seemed to be "approval".

On the third day, Bo Yikao's clothes were forcibly taken away, and he didn't even keep the last fig leaf for him.

He asked the boy who was given shoes by him to cover his body, but the boy refused.

The mountains are full of leaves, but they are all the "property" of the nobles.

It is not easy for civilians to pick up leaves to cover their bodies.

On the fourth day, Bo Yikao was hungry and cold, and he began to become weak and sick. His originally proud face was already full of pain.

On the fifth day, continue to suffer.

On the sixth day, it was still the same.

On the seventh day, Bo Yikao's physical foundation was also on the verge of limits, and he began to have hallucinations and beg Cao Zhe to save him.

The instinct of survival is constantly squeezing his reason, making him want to do something that he would never have done.

On the eighth day, the boy who had been given straw sandals by him brought him a few fruits and told him that the fruit was stolen.

If the core is not processed properly, they will be found by the noble servants and they will be whipped.

The boy was very glad to tell him that because this is Xiqi, the nobles would not easily harm the lives of civilians, nor could they easily rob the people as slaves.

However, the slaves are different.

If you are found stealing the fruit of your owner, you will be executed directly.

Bo Yikao knew that a healthy slave would certainly be more valuable than a few fruits, but slave owners needed to use this harsh punishment to maintain their management of slaves.

Gu Bi/span>  Many times treat slaves kindly, they will not wait for their gratitude.

Bo Yikao himself had never punished slaves himself, but he knew how the servants in the family handled the slaves who made mistakes when they were at home.

Cruel punishments such as potting, marinating, and sausage were not first created by King Zhou.

He just used these punishments for slaves to impose on the nobles and princes.

The cruelty of punishment is one aspect, and this humiliation that regards it as a slave torture is also something that many nobles and princes cannot bear.

Reality is very ironic!

A few days ago, Bo Yikao educated boys not to steal, but to know honor and disgrace.

But now, he looked at the stolen fruit, constantly swallowing his saliva, hunger and weakness, and urged him crazy to make real choices.

Bo Yikao, who was hungry and cold, eventually ate the fruit instead of choosing to report it.

On the ninth day, he went to steal the fruit himself.

Fortunately, I was not caught by the slaves who managed the orchard.

On the tenth day, Bo Yikao went to steal the fruit and fill his stomach again.

Because of experience, I returned safely.

Bo Yikao has read books and knows how to use his brain. He just needs a little trick to bypass the slaves who are in charge of the orchard.

The eleventh day is still the same.

On the twelfth day, Bo Yikao, who had eaten fruits and had a full stomach, was discovered by a boy. He then led the boy to steal fruits. The two cooperated to harvest a lot of fruits, and they all had a full stomach.

On the thirteenth day, the team of stealing fruits expanded to five people, and all five returned home with a full load.

At this time, Bo Yikao had been officially accepted and had his new name...'Stealed'.

Bo Yikao was deeply ashamed of this new name, spreading his long hair and covering his face.

At the same time, he began to think about why he fell into such a situation and how he could get rid of this situation of stealing the fruits and making a living.

On the 14th day, we continued to steal fruits, and the team grew to twelve people.

Day 15, same as above!

On the 16th day, the team was over twenty people. Bo Yi thought deeply that the population should not be increased, and warned everyone that they should not be informed of the matter and spread it.

On the seventeenth day, three new people were added to the team, and some quarrels occurred due to uneven distribution of spoils.

Day 18··· On this day, the eight slaves who were guarding the orchard were all hung around the orchard. Their skinned bodies attracted lively mosquitoes there. The gray eyes stared at the people who came to the orchard to steal again. Bo Yikao was shocked and planned to turn around.

Everyone did not obey Bo Yikao's dissuasion and still went into the forest to steal fruits.

On the 19th day, the thieves were tied under the castle, and everyone suffered a torture.

At the same time, the nobles and slave owners here appeared in front of Bo Yikao.

At this time, Bo Yikao was already a sloppy, dirty, thin and unclothed civilian. Standing in front of the nobles, the other party could not recognize him at all. He was the eldest son of Xibo and the future master of Xiqi.

"You ordered them to steal my orchard."

"According to the laws of Da Shang and Xiqi, you must compensate me for more than three times the losses within seven days, otherwise you will become my slave." The nobleman looked at Bo Yikao with unconcealed malice in his eyes.

Bo Yikao said: "You have no evidence, I have not been stolen and received. Xiqi law stipulates that any compensation must be made at the time of the incident."

The nobleman looked at Bo Yikao in surprise and then said, "It seems that you have read books, why are you so depressed?"

Bo Yikao didn't answer.

The nobles continued, "I have twenty witnesses, and they all believe that you are driving them, and they are all bewitched and coerced by you. Even if I go to Xiqi and go to the eldest son to ask for advice, I will still be rational."

Obviously, Bo Yikao's familiarity with the law made the noble a little afraid.

In this era, those who can read and know the law are basically born into nobles.

Although Bo Yikao does not look like a nobleman.

But even a certain noble escaped slave is not easy to "provoke" it.

After all, slaves who can learn words and laws from their masters should be trusted in their masters.

Bo Yikao opened his mouth... He couldn't speak.

He could not tell the nobleman in front of him that there were many clauses in Xiqi's laws, which were written by him.

I can't tell him that I am the eldest son in his mouth.
