Chapter 113 Human life is not as good as cattle and horses
Therefore, Yang Guang could lower his status to show some goodwill and appropriate appreciation to Wang Junlin, but he would never antagonize Wang Junlin because of Wang Junlin, such as Yang Su and Qiu Rui, who to a certain extent affected his ability to control the world.
In fact, the reason Yang Guang was able to say these words today was because he admired Wang Junlin so much for poisoning Longxi City and burning Shuiquan Pass.

At this time, the ministers had dispersed one after another, and Chang Sun Sheng, Han Qinhu and Yang Lin also left. Wang Junlin tidied up his clothes and walked out of the palace.
Just after walking out of Hanyuan Hall, a young eunuch stood at the door of the hall, holding a plate covered with yellow silk and satin, and said sharply: "Master Marquis! This is the key and land deed of your Marquis' mansion in the north of the city. A reward of one thousand taels of gold.
The Ministry of Revenue will send someone to your house later."
Wang Junlin was overjoyed, carefully put away the things on the plate, took out a cup of gold ingots, gave it to the young eunuch, and said to him with a smile: "I'm sorry for bothering you, my servant. I hope you don't dislike it."
This eunuch was also a wonderful man. He took the gold ingot with a polite and skillful smile and saluted Wang Junlin: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the reward."
After saying that, he neatly put away the gold ingot and turned around to leave.
Today, he went to court to see the emperor. Wang Junlin had expected most of the things, but some things were beyond his expectation. For example, the emperor crowned him personally, but did not meet him alone afterwards, let alone make it clear to him.
mission, and did not mention when he would return to Gaotai City in the northwest.
"Perhaps in Yang Jian's view, as soon as I came to the capital, I formed a deadly feud with the Duke of Yue, who was second only to the Dugu clan of the later clan in the family, and I had already exceeded or completed the tasks that Yang Jian wanted to do for me ahead of schedule. So I simply
Just let me use it myself."
With these thoughts in mind, Wang Junlin walked out of the palace and the imperial city.
Outside the imperial city, all the guards and servants who were originally standing there had left. Only Zhan Peng and three guards were left waiting for Wang Junlin with excited faces. They had already heard from the officials who had come out before.
When they learned that their generals had been granted the titles of Marquis and General Zhenyuan, if this was not the imperial city before, they would have been shouting with excitement.
Seeing Wang Junlin wearing a golden crown and walking out of the imperial city from afar, Zhan Peng and the other two men couldn't wait to greet him. While saluting respectfully, they loudly said: "Congratulations, lord."
The four of them were all illiterate roughnecks. Apart from these four words, they really didn’t know what to say. Compared with the civil servants who flattered Sui Emperor Yang Jian at the previous court meetings, they were completely different.
But Wang Junlin liked it very much, because he could feel that the four guards were sincerely happy because he had received the award, and he vaguely noticed that the four of them were more respectful and restrained when facing him.
After a brief thought, Wang Junlin understood the specific reason for the change among the four people - this was caused by the current status difference between the aristocracy and the common people. Before, Wang Junlin could only be said to be a small aristocrat, but now
He is considered a great nobleman, and as long as he can continue to live, a new wealthy family will appear in one or two generations.
When I came to the palace today, I didn’t know how long it would take to go to court, so Wang Junlin didn’t dare to ride the blood-maned horse, otherwise he wouldn’t be around. Guards like Zhan Peng couldn’t stand the blood-maned horse, and the blood-maned horse was so violent
The beast-like temperament is likely to cause catastrophe. Of course, it is impossible to bring out the little lynx, which is a ferocious beast in itself. Even though it is still young, a ferocious beast is a ferocious beast, and its wild nature is innate. I am afraid it is more dangerous than blood.
Maned horses are also prone to causing trouble.
Wang Junlin casually threw the house deed and the keys to the mansion to Zhan Peng. After the latter held them in his arms like a full-month son, he said with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go see my prince's mansion first."
At this time, Daxing City was much smaller in area than when it was renamed Chang'an City after the expansion in the Tang Dynasty, but the population was not large at all. Therefore, the crowds were bustling along the way. Although they were not waving their sleeves like clouds, they were still crowded.
It can be considered a rush.
But compared with the day before yesterday when they first entered the city, no matter where Wang Junlin and the others went today, the crowds dispersed automatically, not to mention touching, not even making eye contact.
Naturally, Wang Junlin would not think that he had a sudden outburst of bastard energy. Of course, if these people knew that he was a poisonous general who could stop children from crying, he might be able to achieve the same effect. But obviously these people did not know that he was a poisonous general who could stop children from crying.
's true identity.
After a brief observation, Wang Junlin figured out the reason from the changes in the gazes and expressions of these people. He wore a marquis gold crown on his head and a goldfish bag hanging around his waist. The combination of them all showed the nobility of his physical status.
, and look at the four powerful and muscular guards behind them. In this era where the hierarchy between civilians and nobles is terrifying, it is strange that ordinary passers-by dare to approach them!
Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, thinking that if he had been dressed like this when he entered the city the day before yesterday, Yang Rong and others would definitely not be so bullying, and there would be no trouble later.
When passing by a market, Wang Junlin saw a group of people surrounding an open space from a distance. There was a tall flagpole standing on the open space, which was five feet high. The flag had been removed, leaving only a bare wooden pillar. At this time
There is a person standing on the top of the wooden pillar. The golden rooster is independent. He is doing various difficult movements on the top of the flagpole, which is only as thick as his wrist. Sometimes he turns over and stands on one hand with his body upright. Sometimes he hangs a curtain with a golden hook and his body hangs upside down on the wooden pole.
, attracting waves of exclamation from people.
Under the flagpole, there was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen who was as thin as a hemp pole. She was holding a gong, and she was asking people for rewards in a weak voice. Wang Junlin could faintly hear that every word this little girl said, she was asking for rewards.
He coughed and seemed to be seriously ill.
Obviously, they are a pair of hard-working brothers and sisters who work as entertainers. But the young man on the flagpole is quite capable no matter how he got on the flagpole.
However, since arriving at this time, Wang Junlin has met many experts. Now he can be considered an expert himself, so he no longer had the initial surprise and doubt, and after taking a few glances, he walked forward on his own.
As soon as a group of five people left the market, Wang Junlin narrowed his eyes slightly and deliberately slowed down.
Someone was following them, and the level of tracking was very high. If Wang Junlin hadn't been an expert in this field and had mastered the Wuming Dao Scroll, and had sharp six senses, he might not have been able to detect it.
When passing a corner, Wang Junlin suddenly turned his head and looked to the rear right like a knife. A figure flashed past and disappeared into the corner. Wang Junlin snorted coldly and continued to walk forward.
"This noble man seems to be no ordinary young man from an aristocratic family. He was able to discover me. In this case... it's not bad." There was a young man in his twenties behind the corner with a look of surprise on his face.
While Wang Junlin continued walking towards his new residence according to the route, he was thinking about who was following him. Logically speaking, Yang Su and Qiu Rui had no need to send someone to follow them in broad daylight today.
At this moment, a young man suddenly separated from the crowd, rushed in front of Wang Junlin's horse, and blocked their way.
When Zhan Peng saw someone blocking the road, he immediately became furious and stepped forward to drive them away.
But at this moment, the young man suddenly fell to his knees on the ground without saying a word.
Seeing the young man kneeling in front of the horse, Zhan Peng couldn't help but be startled and turned to look at Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin immediately narrowed his eyes. He saw that this young man looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he remembered that this young man was not the same young man he had seen performing in the market from a distance before.
Before Wang Junlin could figure out what was going on, he heard the young man shout loudly: "Give me a hundred dollars, and my life will be yours!"
Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and said, "It was you who was following us just now."
When Zhan Peng and the other three guards heard that someone was following them just now, but they just didn't notice it, they couldn't help but look ashamed, and looked a little angry at the young man.
"Shen Guang, why didn't you recognize the noble man when you blocked his way?" An old man in the crowd suddenly shouted, with a worried look on his face, and his face turned pale, as if Shen Guang would be killed by Wang Junlin in the next moment. In fact, the old man's worries and anxiety are in line with the reality of this era.
Who is Wang Junlin? The old man doesn't know his true identity, but Wang Junlin's outfit and temperament have shown that he is a high-ranking nobleman. In this world, there are some people he can stop, and there are some people who can stop him. After that, you will lose your life.
"Chen Guang, this name sounds familiar." Wang Junlin frowned in thought and looked at the young man in front of him. At the same time, he wanted to see how the young man would respond to the old man's dissuasion.
This young man is not very old. He looks like he is in his early twenties. He has a slender body and looks a little thin, but his shoulders are relatively broad. His limbs are slightly longer than ordinary people and he looks very powerful. At this time, his face has been tempered by the difficulties of life. above, with a decisive look.
The young man glanced at Wang Junlin and saw that the latter did not drive him away immediately, and even ordered the guards to kill him directly. He breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Uncle Liu, my sister's illness cannot afford to wait. I Now it is impossible to raise enough medical expenses in a short period of time, so I can only sell myself to get money, don't stop me."
After saying that, he turned to Wang Junlin and said: "Sir, as long as you give me a hundred pennies, my life will be yours!"
A life is only worth a hundred condoms, and a hundred condoms cannot sell an ox or a good horse. A human life is not worth as much as an ox or a horse. This is the way of the world.
At this time, Wang Junlin suddenly spoke.
"You said your name is Shen Guang, right?"
Shen Guang was startled and looked at Wang Junlin expectantly. He quickly nodded and said: "If you don't change your name when you are walking, or change your surname when you sit down, you are Shen Guang."
"Chen Guang, you just said that if I give you a hundred hangings, your life will be mine?"
Shen Guang nodded and said: "That's right!"
