Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1509: Dismissal

Cheng Zhiyan looked at Hongtai downstairs with a hint of meaning, "When ordinary people encounter injustice, their reaction is usually indignation and resistance. Almost no one can think of the last step from the first step."

"Isn't resistance a good thing?" Fang Zilan's voice was deep, and Cheng Zhiyan smiled slightly, "Miss Zixiu, do you know how to tame an animal?"

"I don't know." Fang Zilan's hand holding the plum sword tightened, and Cheng Zhiyan slowly spoke, "When Xianguan was a child, there would be a circus troupe performing near his house, and there was an animal tamer among them. He tied the cubs with iron chains, no matter how young they were. No matter how hard the beast struggles, it cannot escape. Over time, it no longer struggles. Even if it grows up and has enough strength to break the iron chain, it will no longer struggle."

He paused and said, "The lower officials privately believe that disciplining the people is the same as taming animals."

"I can't see Master Cheng being so arrogant." Fang Zilan gritted his teeth, and Cheng Zhiyan smiled warmly, "Is what the official said wrong? Whether you struggle or resist, timing and strength are indispensable. If not, Yin Quanzhang is an example. "

"Master Cheng, this trick of yours may be useful." Fang Zilan's face was as cold as ice, "But not everyone is like you said, giving up struggling and being indifferent. As long as someone resists, one day, the iron chain will be broken Break.”

"Miss Zixiu, when did you say one day?" Cheng Zhiyan raised his hand and tapped the sword on the side of his neck, signaling the owner of the sword to look downstairs.

"There are no bones left of King Rongan, Zuiyue Tower was burned to the ground, and Fang Lihui was seriously injured and unable to walk." Cheng Zhiyan said, suddenly laughing, "Miss Zixiu, by the time you find someone who resists, I'm afraid they have already said no. A single word has come out, let alone revealing the truth and bringing justice to the people? Idiots are just talking, that's all."

"Cheng Zhiyan, are you an official just to whitewash the peace?" Fang Zilan's voice was stern, but the hand holding the sword trembled for the first time.

She knew that killing Cheng Zhiyan would not only be useless, but would also bring panic to the entire Suzhou Prefecture, and she could not kill him.

"Isn't the whitewashed peace not considered peace?" Cheng Zhiyan suppressed a smile and said seriously: "I have been in the Suzhou Prefecture for twelve years. I have worked hard and have no regrets. Everything I do is for peace. …”

"Sir Cheng, are you colluding with the bandits and oppressing the people for the sake of peace?" Hongtai raised his head, his eyes as bright as a torch, as if he wanted to see through the filth in Cheng Zhiyan's heart.

But Cheng Zhiyan remained indifferent, "If a few people die and some money is used, more people can be protected. What choice will you make, Master?"

"I..." Hongtai opened his mouth, and then Cheng Zhiyan continued to talk to himself, "Sacrificing small righteousness for the long term, what's my fault?"

"Cheng Zhiyan, what do you think of the people?" Fang Zilan finally couldn't bear it anymore. She inserted the plum sword on the railing and raised her hand to grab Cheng Zhiyan's throat. "They are living people, not a chess piece in your hands, let alone You are just a brick to build political achievements by whitewashing the peace."

"Insignificant people... there are as many as you want..." Cheng Zhiyan's veins popped out and he said with difficulty: "Why can't they die?"

"Then, why can't it be you?" Fang Zilan's eyes were full of murderous intent, but there was a hand on her shoulder, it was Hongtai.

"Cheng Zhiyan can't die yet." Hong Tai leaned close to Fang Zilan's ear and whispered, "At least, not now."

Fang Zilan took a deep breath and slowly loosened her hand, "Cheng Zhiyan, human life is not trivial. The moment you give it up, it is doomed to be short-lived." Cheng Zhiyan's expression froze, and Fang Zilan's expression was sharp, "The whitewashed peace will eventually be broken. If the people in this world are nothing more than ants, then the so-called prosperous times are nothing more than a dead leaf that obscures the eyes of those in high positions."

"Even in Miluo Palace, I am also the Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Palace in Dajing." Fang Zilan smiled and said word by word: "The daughter of the Fang family is born with gold and gold, so she is also an extraordinary person to be her teacher."

She paused for a moment as she spoke, with a sharp look on her face, "My first master is Mr. Su Hengsu, and he is the best in the world. How can I endure losers like you?"

"What did you say?" the admonishing mother was furious, but she had heard of Su Heng's name even in Miluo. How could such a humble scholar teach such a powerful and aggressive student?

"I said." Fang Zilan snorted lightly and said with disdain: "Teach me, you and none of you are worthy."

Before she finished speaking, the admonishing mama became angry and shouted: "Come here, hold down Madam Prince!"

The whole hall of ladies heard the sound and moved, rushing towards Fang Zilan. She was not in a hurry, dodged left and right, and did not let them succeed at all.

But the admonishing mother was still talking nonsense, "Mrs. Prince, don't you think I'm unworthy? Today I'm going to show you how many ways there are in the palace to make you obedient."

Be obedient? Fang Zilan laughed and dodged a nun's hand again, causing her and another nun to throw themselves together and both fell to the ground.

After a while, all the nuns fell to the ground one after another, except Fang Zilan who still stood upright. She raised her eyebrows in pretending to be surprised, "What are you doing, ladies? Even if I have a noble status, you don't have to pay such a courtesy."

The admonishing mama opened her eyes wide and looked at Fang Zilan in disbelief, "Mrs. Crown Prince, you..."

"Mommy, calm down, it's not good for your body to be so angry." Fang Zilan straightened her sleeves slowly and said with a smile: "I just said a few words, and this is what happened to me. Today's time is still long. "Very well, I'm afraid I will make you angry a hundred and eighty times, but will you still be alive by then?"

The admonishing mama gritted her teeth and stood up, trying to get Zilan to take action, but she shook her head, "Mammy, I am the wife of the Crown Prince Zhongzheng after all. If you go out of the palace and are injured, you will not be able to escape the blame. .but……"

She deliberately drawled, "Mommy also said that there are many ways to make people obedient in the palace. I think there are always ways to punish them without leaving any scars. You might as well give me some insights."

"Madam, are you... crazy?" The other maid who fell to the ground had a look of fear on her face, but Fang Zilan didn't care at all. "If we talk about madness, how can I compare to the maids?"

She glanced at the maids present one by one and said in a cold voice: "You use the rules as shackles, trying to bind the women of Miluo and torture them in every way. What else can you say but crazy? You are clearly the victims, but you are accomplices to the tiger and cause more harm..."

"Shut up!" The reprimanding nanny rushed forward, but was thrown to the ground by Fang Zilan. Her movements were so fast that no one in the room could see her clearly.

"I am not someone who will obey you obediently. Your methods will not work on me." Fang Zilan's eyes were filled with terrifying murderous intent. "But you may not be able to withstand my methods."
