"Huh!?"

When I heard it, I was immediately confused, what does it mean that the evening breeze kills people?

Jiang Mei also listened a little flustered, and Zhou He explained: "You can go to the alley street behind you and take a look." ”

A few of us walked out the door in confusion and walked towards the alley street on the side.

This alley street is a small street of alleys, where all the slaves who served in the palace lived. In order to prevent these citizens from affecting the city's appearance, the palace specially built a gate in the alley street, so that people would not see inside.

It was the only place in the palace where the poor lived, and it was an important source of good life for the people in the palace.

As soon as we entered the door, we saw several corpses lying on the ground, rotting and stinking, and many flies flying around them.

The dead included an elderly man, a man in the prime of life, and a woman.

A few children who were not yet sensible sat stupidly next to them. Looking at the corpses on the ground in a daze.

And right next to them, there was a cauldron. Two children were already cooked inside, and the smell of meat wafted through the streets, and it was a very strong smell.

A chef is standing next to a pot. Cooking the children inside. I was a little uncomfortable when I saw this, so I asked the chef, "What is this doing?" ”

The cook didn't recognize me, but seeing that we were dressed nobly, he quickly and respectfully explained, "My lords, I am cooking the missing items on the orders of the palace. ”

I wondered, "Defects?" ”

"The Alley Street had a limited place to live, so there was an order in the palace that those who could not work should be cooked into food and given to the slaves to eat, so that they could be nourished......," explained the cook, "and these children were born with cripples, some of them had bad hearts, some of them were missing hands and feet, some of them were not good-looking, and according to the law these children were to be used as food." ”

Jiang Mei asked, "Then what's the matter with the few rotting corpses next to here?" ”

The cook explained: "If you go back to your lordship, these people do not obey the law, so some soldiers kill them and throw them here, which is considered to be an example of killing chickens and monkeys." Because they didn't want their children to be cooked, they caused the disaster of killing. ”

"I see......"

It dawned on me that looking at those children, I couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.

Unfortunately, I can't control it.

What we need to do is not to save these children, but to keep the light and keep the light up. Fight against the Empire. Only when this empire collapses can the path of common prosperity that Jiang Mei said can be realized. If you make a move here, it will cause dissatisfaction among those powerful.

In the absence of any effect, after saving these children, there will still be other children who will die.

I sighed and walked on. The slaves in this alley street are different from the slaves outside, who face danger every day and need to become stronger in life and death. But the slaves here don't even have a chance to get ahead.

If you don't like a powerful person one day, you may be killed.

I suddenly remembered what Viscount Quanlin had said, that when a wild dog enters the lion's pen, it will only kill itself. And these slaves are equivalent to rabbits entering the lion pen, how can they have a little chance to turn over?

Everyone's eyes are frightened and confused, and there is no light in the future life. As we walked down the road, we heard the sound of play, and when we followed the sound, we saw the evening breeze wrestling with a group of children. He was beaten and begged for mercy by the children, because the children's white robe was stained with a lot of stains.

It turned out that this was what Zhou He said about being down.

Little did the children know that the great Earl of Evening Wind was in front of them. chased and frolicked with him one by one.

Jiang Mei said softly: "Earl of the evening wind, not only is he a nobleman who leads the first army in the empire, but he is also called a dirty nobleman by the magnates. ”

"Filthy nobles?" I was surprised, "Why?" ”

Jiang Mei shook her head and said, "I don't know either." I've only heard other powerful people call him that. ”

At this time, a general behind us explained, "There are two reasons why Lord Evening Wind is called so. On the one hand, he was born poor, and his hometown is this alley street. It is rumored that there has never been a nobleman in Alley Street, only Lord Evening Wind has done it, and he is the only one in history. On the other hand, after he became a nobleman, unlike those powerful who only knew about exploitation, Lord Evening Wind thought about the people in all aspects. Over time, the nobles did not want to be with him, so they called them dirty nobles. ”

We nodded thoughtfully, and the evening breeze saw us. He waved to us and walked towards us.

I smiled and said, "Lord Evening Breeze, you are really leisurely and elegant, playing with the children here." ”

The evening breeze said softly: "Their lives, only this time will not know the fear of life. Childhood is inherently beautiful, so why not make them happier in this short period of time? ”

I nodded, "That's right." ”

"Let's go back......," Evening Breeze stretched, smiled back at the children, and said, "Go home early, don't hang out outside." ”

The children all looked at the evening breeze reluctantly, and I sighed lightly: "In this empire, it is estimated that you, a nobleman, are willing to sit on an equal footing with them." ”

Evening Breeze took out a cigarette that he rolled and lit it, and said softly: "When I was a child, or when I was not sensible. My parents began to teach me one thing – and that was to lose my dignity. There was an incident that I still remember very well, when there was a little girl, and she was the daughter of a viscount. Once her father went to the palace on an errand. Brought her with you. The girl came to Alley Street curiously, I was five years old that year, and she was five years old. It was raining, and there was a puddle in front of her. So she pointed at me and told me to go over and lie down in the puddle and let her walk over with my head on my head. ”

"And then?"

"And then I was thinking, why would I want you to step on my head. We are all human beings, we are all children, we all have parents, why should I be a stepping stone for you? So I didn't do it that day. It was because of this that I made the biggest mistake of my life. ”

"What's wrong?"

When the little girl saw that I did not do so, she stood in the street crying. Later, her father found out, and after her father came. It can be described as a rage. Guess what, my parents were on their knees and kowtowing, begging the adult to spare me. I watched them break their heads, and the little girl was still crying. In the end, her father killed my father and mother, and threw their bodies in the alley, and let the little girl step on them, and the little girl burst into tears and laughed. At that time, I understood that there was no equality between people. When I cried, my parents would save money and give me a bowl of white rice. And when she's not happy, she can kill my father. ”

I didn't know how to answer for a while, but I could feel it. Behind the understatement of the evening breeze is how unwilling it was back then.

Jiang Mei subconsciously asked, "What happened to that girl?" After all, you're now the famous Earl of Evening Wind. ”

"She's still alive......" said Evening Breeze calmly, "and when I came of age, I was one of the best-looking slaves." So I was chosen as the male pet. One day, the girl broke into my life again. She was already a young lady and bought me at a low price to serve her every day. Ridiculous. The man who killed my father and mother ended up sharing a bed with me. The woman was a notoriously slut who had to be served by a male pet every night and gave us a secret medicine. As long as there is one night of not being happy. She'll kill. I have been a male pet in her house for two years, and I have to take secret medicine every day to please her. It wasn't until later that he collapsed his body, and he was considered weak, and he couldn't freeze when it was cold. So I just went on and on. Try her best to learn combat skills from the guards at her house, and secretly go to the gladiatorial arena behind her back. She didn't know until I became a viscount. On the day I became a viscount, I went into her room as usual, and then she asked me to undress, but I told her that I was no longer a slave, but a nobleman. You would never guess what a wonderful look she had on her face......"

At this point, the evening breeze showed a slightly hideous smile and said softly, "After that, I cut off her hands and feet, made her a human bunch, threw her into a puddle, and threw her into a muddy puddle in my realm as a stepping stone in a muddy puddle. Right now...... She's still alive. ”
