Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Li Huoyue was also shocked.

To be precise, it was a shock and a headache.

It’s not because the words of the woman in yellow are so thought-provoking, but because of the examples she picked out.

Endless daily cleaning, time-consuming and laborious heating of bath water, sedan chairs that rely entirely on human labor...

Ordinary people living in the South would never mention these common things. Only those who have enjoyed the convenience would think these points are worth talking about.

Li Huoyue keenly captured a piece of information——

This is a time traveler.

The situation now became a little complicated. Li Huoyue raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

She didn't expect that there was still a time traveler who had not appeared in Kyoto!

Li Huoyue felt a chill down his spine when he thought of his useless old father.

Xu Jiaoer was allowed to come out by the emperor, and the other time travelers had been secretly arrested long ago. What about this woman in yellow?

If the woman was not discovered by her father first, but was discovered by someone else, or if she exploded on her own, then the father's dereliction of duty would be a foregone conclusion.

The position of Special Inspector is special. Once a Special Inspector is dismissed, he will not return to his hometown like other officials. There is only one outcome for them when they are dismissed - the whole family will be beheaded.

The crowd didn't understand what was going on at the moment. Those holding their bowls had already finished their food. They didn't see any "good show" and still preferred the direct approach just now.

Li Huoyue didn't dare let others continue listening. She happened to catch a glimpse of the steward who was in charge of the Sang Mansion standing at the door, and she gave him a look.

The steward understood what was going on immediately. He closed the door of the Sang Mansion, shouted at everyone to go back to their homes, and cleared the area around the Sang Mansion.

Li Huoyue saw that the manager was doing his job efficiently, and he felt temporarily relieved.

He turned around and was about to look at the woman in yellow again, and the woman also turned around and looked at Li Huoyue.

The woman in yellow had been talking for a while, and was wondering why Li Huoyue didn't continue talking and was just standing there in an idiot manner.

She raised her eyebrows and signaled Li Huoyue to continue.

Li Huoyue suppressed his current emotions, his expression normal, and followed the words of the woman in yellow:

"If you really believe that everyone is equal, you shouldn't let your servants work for you unconditionally. You should pay your servants enough wages."

The woman in yellow nodded: "Yes!"

"You should return the indenture to them and let them be equals with you."

The woman in yellow kept nodding: "Yes!"

"Thousands and thousands of servants like this should be given the freedom to make their own decisions!"

Li Huoyue's voice was cold and his tone was firm and powerful.

The woman in yellow, who had been simply nodding in agreement, was unable to keep up this time and froze in place.

Li Huoyue didn't care whether the woman in yellow caught up or not, and continued to speak to Xu Jiaoer:

"But you haven't done anything. On the one hand, you enjoy the good treatment brought by inequality, and on the other hand, you spit on the unequal rights of others. You are so noble. You just shout that everyone is equal. On what basis do you have the right to do so?"

The woman in yellow was still looking straight at Li Huoyue. The sky was getting darker, but she felt that Li Huoyue's figure was becoming clearer in her eyes.

Xu Jiaoer lowered her head. She really hadn't thought about these things.

She thought that after traveling through time, as long as she invited the servants to eat at the same table with her and did not let them kneel down to her, she would be respecting them and that everyone was equal.

At least around her, she has achieved it through her own efforts.

She had never thought that the various tasks that were taken for granted for servants in life actually revealed inequality.

This kind of errand is different from the work done by modern contract employees. It is trivial and unconditional.

Since she traveled through time, she got rid of her initial discomfort and gradually became familiar and adapted.

She had adapted so well that she didn't even realize she had gone against her original vision.

Thinking about it carefully, she actually didn't really regard those servants as equals from the bottom of her heart.

She also thought about doing those trivial things herself, but she was so busy every day, memorizing lessons and taking imperial examinations. How could she have the time to do everything herself?

She had read quite a few time-travel novels, and few of them seriously discussed these inconveniences.

There was a ready-made, enslavable and obedient person right there, how could she avoid it?

As for "being lazy", once you do it, it will happen again and again, until it becomes a habitual and dependent path.

Xu Jiaoer didn't say anything for a long time. She felt her face was getting more and more painful, a piercing pain.

She thought about it for a long time and she felt that it was because technology had not developed well enough and it was not her fault!

It’s all because of this backward feudal society!

Sang Fuqing didn't know when he noticed that everyone had stopped talking. He turned his head to look at Jiao'er, but he couldn't get a close look at Jiao'er's face.

Seeing the wound on Xu Jiao'er's face, he seemed to have just been disconnected and reconnected. He then stood up and spoke for Jiao'er who had lost her "fighting" spirit:

"Jiao'er's face... Sigh, no matter what, you can't just hit someone casually! Jiao'er is the first female champion in the Southern Kingdom after all!"

Sang Fuqing was very angry, but subconsciously did not want to show it in front of Li Huoyue, so his words of questioning sounded weak.

The sister-in-law has been keeping silent for a long time, and she doesn't even dare to interrupt. Who the hell is this pretty boy Sang Fuqing? How could he have a chance to speak?

Almost immediately he retorted: "I beat you up, if you don't agree, go and sue me! What the hell is this top scholar? It's not like I haven't beaten him before!"

"You! What are you talking about?!"

My sister-in-law has always been bad at speaking, but she is very active. She upholds the spirit of "If you can't hear me, I'll bring my weapons over to your side and say it again." Without saying anything, she has already swung the sledgehammer in her hand and rushed forward like the wind.

When Li Huoyue heard the noise behind him, he stretched out his hand without turning his head and intercepted the attack steadily from his sister-in-law.

Said: "Xu Zhuangyuan's injury looks really serious. My fifth brother knows Doctor Huo in Kyoto. Why don't we..."

"You don't need to be so hypocritical!" Xu Jiao'er interrupted Li Huoyue, holding back the pain and saying stubbornly, "Put away your sense of superiority. No matter how many high-ranking officials you have in your mansion or how many people you know, in my eyes, they are not worth mentioning at all!"

Li Huoyue shut his mouth, somewhat speechless. His fifth brother had not entered the officialdom, so why was this number one scholar so excited?

Since the other party didn't appreciate it, she was too lazy to talk any more.

Catching the eager sister-in-law, Li Huoyue turned around and said, "Sorry for bothering you today. Goodbye."

After saying this, he walked away without any hesitation.

The sister-in-law was dragged away unwillingly, but there was really nothing else in the house for her to damage, so she had to give up and let Li Huoyue take her away.

"Miss Li!" Sang Fuqing suddenly called out from behind.

Li Huoyue stopped and looked back in confusion, wondering what this kid was doing.
