Chapter 182 Ruler
In the government office, Jiang An and Huo Changming stood side by side in front of the teacher.
They both lowered their heads, their clothes were tattered and when the wind blew, cotton wool flew out.
The master supported his old waist with one hand and patted his head.
The blow on Huo Changming was particularly strong, giving the illusion of testing whether the melon was sweet or not; the blow on the little girl's head was much lighter.
The old man sighed and asked with concern: "Are you injured anywhere?"
The two children shook their heads in unison, "Master, no."
No~
The Master snorted and said in a leisurely tone, "You two have been heroes today!"
"When the two little heroes return to the barracks, please write another article about what you saw and heard today."
Jiang An:!
Huo Changming:!
Li Xingsang and Qi Shanyuan who were just about to come in:!
They paused and looked at each other.
If you go in at this time, you will easily be fined to write an extra article...
Unfortunately, it was too late to hide.
The Master raised his eyelids and asked, "What are you standing there for?"
The two gentle boys twitched their lips and sighed in their hearts. After all, they couldn't escape it!
"Student has seen the Master..."
Now the number of people standing in the corner has increased from two to four.
Jiang An quietly raised her head, revealing two dimples on her delicate little face, looking clever and adorable.
Meng Burang stepped forward, not wanting to see the little girl standing here as punishment, and said to the teacher, "The governor Wu is busy tonight, and the young lady's clothes are all torn, so you should go back to the camp first."
"What do you think, Master?"
Someone handed him a ladder, and the teacher, who was already worried about his students, quickly went down the stairs and responded to save face.
"What the general said is very true."
Just like that, with Meng Burang and the Master singing the same tune, the matter was brought to light.
The little girl scratched her face, her round eyes filled with disbelief.
That’s it?
No need to tell the parents?
Don’t you need to be scolded?
Meng Burang took off the cloak behind him and covered Jiang An with it, wrapping her up like a fat worm.
"I will carry you to the carriage."
The little girl knocked her head against his shoulder, which was her habit when she relied on her father.
I only heard her whispering, "Master, won't you punish An An?"
She is so upset that she is afraid she won't be able to sleep tonight!
Meng Burge held her in his arms and strode out. His clear voice spread into the wind and snow, "Young lady and Changming have solved a dozen criminals who kidnapped and sold young children, and saved so many children. The master will be proud of you."
"Then An An sneaked out of the camp?"
The young general's mouth corners curled up, and his raised brows showed an indescribable sense of high spirits.
I only heard him say: "Miss, you can go wherever you want. It doesn't count as sneaking away."
Jiang An swung his feet happily...
This undisguised preference was like warm sunshine, always shining on her.
After returning to the camp, the girl changed her clothes and refused Jiang Si's intention to apply ointment on her, and instead ran into the teacher's tent.
Jiang An didn't hold the hot water bottle, and his cheeks and hands were frozen red.
Her eyes were as bright as the stars at night, "Master!"
The teacher put down the book and glanced at the volume of Nan Shang Law in her hand.
"It's already night, why did An An come to look for me?"
The little girl raised her head and said, "I want to ask you, Master, what is the law?"
She told the Master everything she had seen and heard on the streets of Junzhou today.
The teacher waved to her and asked Jiang An to sit on the cushion.
He stroked the little girl's hair gently, his eyes loving, "What do you think, An An?"
“The law should be ruthless, but also compassionate.”
Wu Bai whipped the people and used extremely cold words to restrict their behavior, which seemed ruthless to the people.
But when the people hit the prisoner with stones, Wu Bai did not actually stop them. Even the yamen runners guarding the car only tried to stop them in a vague manner to prevent the prisoner from actually dying. Does this count as being merciful?
When Jiang An came to find his teacher, he felt confused.
Should we be affectionate or ruthless? Who holds the yardstick?
The old teacher looked at the student's confused eyes and laughed out loud twice. His laughter was full of joy and relief.
"You are more suitable than your father!"
Eh?
This incoherent sentence made Jiang An even more confused.
"My dad?"
Didn't the Master always call her father "Prince"?
"What is An An more suitable for than my father?"
The teacher avoided answering and instead grabbed the little girl's hand, "An An, the ruler is in your hand."
"Similarly, this ruler is in the hands of the prince and His Majesty..."
His eyes flashed with a different sharpness than before, "But you only have one ruler. The amount you can grasp determines how much you can change."
Do you want the law to be compassionate or cruel...whatever you want depends entirely on how much you can grasp the ruler!
The little girl lowered her head and looked at her fat paws.
The little hands opened and closed.
Jiang An seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand, "Master..."
The old master waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, An An, remember what the master said, one day you will understand."
"It's too late today, go to bed."
After getting an answer that didn't really count, Jiang An's cheeks puffed up, and he obediently performed a student salute before leaving the tent.
She yawned and muttered, "Ruler..."
"Why should we use a ruler in different ways..."
Are you very poor?
Never mind, let’s go to bed first!
The little girl fell into the quilt with her head and fell asleep.
Jiang Si appeared from the corner, gently settled his master down, and covered her with a quilt.
He stood beside the bed for a long time before he walked out of the tent with his knife in hand.
He's going to fight!
Jiang Jiu, that idiot, actually allowed those beasts to hurt his master!
In the northern nights, the wind blows the snow, as if it is scraping people.
Meng Burang listened to the fighting noise coming from the young lady's tent and smiled.
Today, he lost his mind in panic. How could the prince arrange for Jiang Si to accompany the young lady on her study tour?
Princess Dongli's residence,
The beauty was half-dressed in a veil, leaning on the couch.
She pinched a thin piece of paper between her fingertips, and her red lips curled into a smile, "So you are here."
In the silent palace, her whispers were filled with indescribable charm.
The princess narrowed her eyes slightly, and her slender fingertips traced the words on the letter paper, "Born with supernatural powers?"
"As expected of my daughter..."
"Someone is coming."
She gently threw the letter into the stove, and the burning flames reflected her beautiful face.
"Send the assassins to Chongzhou, and tell the Nanshang royal family that their prince who is the king of the state doesn't even have a single secret guard by his side..."
The beauty rubbed the cardamom on her fingertips, and the smile on her lips grew wider.
She raised her eyes, a flash of murderous intent passed through her, "I want him dead."
"Yes."
It took her several years and she paid so much to finally gain control of half of the Dongli court in her own hands!
But Jiang Jichen made several moves in just one year, and now the power in her hands is crumbling.
She wants to settle this account!
