Chapter 257 is not the same as us

   In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

  Early in the morning, Junli woke up refreshed, dressed and washed before going to morning in a good mood.

  After the morning morning, she will go to the eastern suburbs of the capital. Today is the last scientific examination. She wants to see for herself how the students of the final scientific examination are doing.

At noon yesterday, Hei Miao came to report that they had been found. There were eleven blacksmiths in total, and they all expressed their willingness to serve Junli. Messages came and none of them were problematic.

   Doctor Luo also sent news last night that half of the things she needed had been found in about two days, and she could officially start making bombs in a few days.

  The jewelry shop has also started renovations, and it will take seven or eight days to complete the renovations and officially open for business.

  Jun Li has the final say, it was almost the time when envoys from various countries entered the capital.

  Secretly, she also sent people from the secret cabinet to start looking for traces of the hermits. She didn't expect to find their lair at once, even a branch would be good. When the bomb is made, it's time to give them a hard drink...

   Let them know who is really calling the shots in Beirong Kingdom!

  After the scientific examination, she will find an opportunity to meet shopkeeper Guo at Linglong Jewelry Store. She still has a lot of questions about the painting, and maybe she can get some news from shopkeeper Guo.

  The morning court was insipid, and it was all about lack of nutrition. After an hour, the morning court ended. Jun Li was in a carriage, and it was Zi Yiwei who was still clearing the way ahead, heading towards the eastern suburbs.

  Because of what happened the night before, the common people just knelt by the roadside this morning, and there was no crowding anymore.

  In view of the assassin incident that happened the night before, Captain Liu sent two more pairs of guards to protect the carriage.

   The journey was peaceful and nothing happened. It's just that when passing by the Linglong jewelry store, through the thin layers of gauze, Junli saw the shopkeeper Guo standing outside and looking towards her with a smile on his face.

  The gauze covering the carriage is very elegant, people outside can't see the scene in the carriage, at most they can only see a vague figure. But the people inside the carriage can clearly see the scene outside. It has to be said that the wisdom of the ancients is infinite.

  In addition to shopkeeper Guo, when the carriage passed by a teahouse, Junli also saw Qin Muyan standing by the window on the third floor of the teahouse, looking at him coldly.

  Jun Li frowned, he didn't expect him to leave the palace today. Or he, has never been back to the palace?

   It's been a while since I've seen him, he seems to have lost a lot of weight.

  The carriage gradually went away, and Junli, who was sitting in the carriage, could only see his thin figure slowly becoming dots in his sight...

  When passing by the building outside the building, Junli was a little surprised that she actually saw Rong Qingcheng in lotus-colored clothes.

  At this time, he was standing by the window on the second floor of the outer building, shaking a feather fan, and winking in her direction.

  The corner of Junli's mouth twitched, that **** Rong Qingcheng, looking at the expression on his face that he didn't want to be beaten, he must have suffered nothing from fighting Qin Muyan that day, otherwise he wouldn't have the strength to stand there with a relaxed look on his face.

   Standing beside Rong Qingcheng was Yun Jin, dressed in white as snow, looking around, with undisguised curiosity on his face.

  Jun Li raised a slight arc from the corner of his lips, sat down, and gradually moved away with the carriage.

   "Okay, I've read it, let's go eat." Rong Qingcheng grabbed Yun Jin's arm and walked towards the table behind the screen. Above, the meals have been laid out.

  After sitting down, Yun Jin rested her chin on her hands, and asked in confusion, "Brother Qingcheng, why do you think there are so many veils hanging around the carriage?"

  Rong Qingcheng picked up a corn bun, and after hearing what Yun Jin said, he laughed, "Because I don't want people to see what it looks like."

  Yun Jin frowned, "Isn't a person's appearance meant to be seen by others? Why do you have to cover it up?"

   "The face of an emperor is something ordinary people can see."

  Hearing this, Yun Jin nodded, "Brother Qingcheng, what do you think the Empress looks like?"

Rong Qingcheng rolled her eyes indecently, there is no such thing as a magnificent appearance in front of outsiders on weekdays, like a floating cloud, "What can you look like, isn't it just like us, with two eyes, two nostrils and a mouth .”

  Yun Jin was stunned when she heard the words, as if she didn't expect Rong Qingcheng to answer like this.

   "What's the matter, am I wrong?" Rong Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, not forgetting to stuff a chopstick of food into his mouth.

  Yun Jin smiled mischievously, "Brother Qingcheng, what you said is right, but... there is no way to describe people like that."

   "Of course I have." Rong Qingcheng sandwiched an egg for himself, and said, "I am not."

  Hearing this, Yun Jin didn't know what to say anymore, so she could only lower her head and silently ate the green onion porridge made from white rice in the bowl.

  A while ago, not to mention porridge made from white rice, even an egg, Yun Jin felt that it only existed in fantasy.

  A slave, an existence that is worse than pigs and dogs. Sometimes it takes two days to eat a meal, which is the kind of porridge made from rotten rice. Because there were too many slaves, the porridge in everyone's bowl was almost full of water, only a few grains of green rice settled at the bottom of the bowl.

  Lack of food, moldy rice, and a lot of work every day, many women among the slaves could not bear it and died, let alone the old people, children, and men among the slaves.

Slaves are the most despicable existence, even small restaurants will not accept them, so those male slaves who are slightly attractive can only be used as a tool for slave traders to vent their desires on a daily basis. They were tortured to death without even being given a straw mat, and they were thrown directly into a mass grave.

   Male slaves have little strength, can’t do much work, and no one buys them to be slaves, so it doesn’t matter how many they die. No one will show any mercy to slaves. Many slaves die every day in the slave market.

  The slaves are mostly dignitaries who have committed crimes, or family members of wealthy businessmen, and some are captives of defeated countries, and most of the rest are the children of slaves, slaves from generation to generation...

  Yun Jin was originally a son of a scholarly family. Later, his family was housed. His parents and servants all died in a fire. He was the only one who escaped. Later, he was abducted and sold by human traffickers and bought as a slave.

Originally, his appearance should have been ruined by the slave trader long ago, but he is also smart. When the trafficker dragged him to the slave den to find the slave trader, he put ashes on his face and messed up his hair, waiting for the trafficker to look for him. After he left, when the slave trader came to see him, seeing his appearance, he couldn't see his face clearly at all, so he lost that thought, which made him escape every time.
