The snowfall in Song Zhou finally stopped the night before Duan Mu An Guo's birthday celebration. Feng Yu Heng sat alone in the room while looking out the window, but he found that every house was decorated with lights. The leader's birthday is very close to the new year. For the people of the North, this is equivalent to two holidays. It is only natural that everything will come alive. Even the pedestrians seemed to be in a good mood.
Feng Yu Heng knew that for his people, it did not matter whether the North belonged to Da Shun or Qian Zhou. In fact, they hoped it would fall into Qian Zhou's hands. After all, the three northernmost provinces were forcibly taken from Qian Zhou back then. In the end, the blood that flowed on this fellow person came from Qian Zhou. No matter how well Da Shun treated them, this root root could not be cut.
The Lu family couple finally managed to settle the matter with the guards and were led by someone to meet the leader. Feng Yu Heng slightly closed his eyes and lay down beside the window. He's like a lazy cat. But at this moment, if one could see his eyes, they would find there was a sharp look in his eyes.
He knew if the Lu family couple managed to meet with Duan Mu An Guo, all of their plans would work. Although he still did not know what gifts they had brought for Duan Mu An Guo's birthday, based on the words that Judge Lu sometimes made to him, he said, the matter of sending him to the leader's palace was most likely already determined.
No dinner tonight. The Lu family couple had come out, and only he was left inside the room. The occupants of the inn would not specifically deliver food just to a waiter. This was the degree of human rights under the feudal system. Feng Yu Heng had always thought that if someday he had that power, he hoped, even though this epoch was an imperial age, he could still improve human rights for everyone. For the slaves, this would be the biggest change.
Feng Yu Heng believed that everyone should be equal. Although personal origins and abilities determine a person's quality of life, there should be no adverse impact on a person's body and mind. It's just that this way of thinking is really unprecedented for society today. Even if he wanted to do so, it would be impossible to make any major reforms. Feng Yu Heng thought that after the matter with Qian Zhou was resolved, he would think of a way to go and see the land that was given the title of imperial princess Ji An. Maybe that place could be used to do some small-scale tests.
For now, he threw the idea of that abstract idea behind his head. Standing up, he closed the window and went into the secret room to eat. When he came out after enjoying a bowl of hot noodle soup, the Lu family couple still did not return, but there seemed to be some movement within the inn.
Feng Yu Heng went to the door and listened. Amidst the irregular footsteps, there was the sound of strong footsteps. Start from the bottom move up. Not long after, we arrived at the second floor. After ascending to the top, he stopped around the stairs and did not move. After a while, the innkeeper said. "Sir, there's someone in every room. Other than the distant relatives of the great leader, everyone was still in their respective rooms."
After this was said, the people inside the room could no longer sit still. They all opened the door, wanting to get out and ask some questions, but the guard standing outside immediately pulled out his weapon and said in unison. "Retreat!"
Feng Yu Heng also opened the door but did not come out. He just stood in the room and watched. He saw that the person on the stairs was a man who was at the top of his life. He was born rather tall and had a thick beard on his face. He had round eyes comparable to copper bells, and he looked extremely ferocious. He said that he had come to pick up a birthday present, but if people met him outside, they would mostly think he was a bandit.
Reality proved that Feng Yu Heng was not the only one who had this kind of thinking. There was even a young lady who spoke without thinking. “You are from the leader's palace? Why do you look like a mountain bandit? Everyone says the Northern Province has a lot of criminals. It would be better if you weren't a con man."
After this was said, everyone immediately agreed. After all, the birthday party had yet to arrive, yet someone had come early to receive the gift. They also spoke impolitely. Everyone is questioning it.
But the man looked even more ferocious when he heard this. He raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the young miss who had just spoken, loudly shouting. “I am a general from the palace of the leader. Whoever dares to question it, be careful that I do not cut off your tongue!"
The young miss was frightened yet still felt unreconciled, hence she added. "I am the young miss of judge Gan Zhou. My father was a court official. What right do you have to speak to me like this?"
With someone in the lead, congestion can be overcome. All the officials, mistresses and youngsters on this floor started to report their ranks. After hearing this, Feng Yu Heng thought, alright, there are provincial officials, city officials, and judges who are at the same level as Judge Lu. There are county judges and even some prefects. Whatever happened, other than the officials from the capital, there was actually a wide variety of people from different regions.
