Chapter 657: What I Saw

Regarding Cao Xiaochun's suggestion, Wu Zhao had no intention of rejecting it. After all, he himself had no right to refuse.

What's more, now that she has suffered a backlash from heaven, even if she wants to do something, she doesn't have the ability. Although the god-level elixir can treat her injuries to the greatest extent, she is no different from an ordinary person now.

After Ansuna and Tia heard the news, they were not very interested in Wu Zhao's injuries, but when it came to dressing up and going out for a walk, the two women asked to take them with them.

Cao Xiaochun didn't care. After all, there was no difference between bringing one and three.

After some disguise, although the three women were dressed in men's clothes, they had a unique style. After getting ready, they rushed towards the town of New Delhi.

Because Cao Xiaochun played the role of a wandering businessman, the four of them gave up their mounts and chose to walk. But surprisingly, Cao Xiaochun directly skipped the rich area and walked towards the civilian area and slums.

Compared with the rich area, the common area looks much inferior. There are not many gorgeous buildings, but it is full of human touch. The people here are also much less indifferent and more tender.

The four of them came to a large street in the city. There were all kinds of goods, materials, and food on the street. Many businessmen who came from other places walked through the street with their goods, and the surrounding vendors were selling their goods. .

Although this is the center of the rule of the gods, at a glance, these people do not seem to care who the ruler is, but are running around for their own livelihood.

Ansuna and Tia went shopping directly. When they encountered something they were interested in, they stopped and picked it up enthusiastically, as if they were just ordinary people at this moment.

Wu Zhao frowned, wondering what Cao Xiaochun meant. Did he intend to let himself see these peaceful lives to prove that no matter who ruled, it meant nothing to these people?

"It seems that what they experienced is not what you said. The underlying forces you want to rely on don't even have the courage to resist."

Wu Zhao curled his lips and said softly.

"Haha, if a gold coin has an obverse side, it will also have a reverse side. If this thing only has an obverse side, it proves that it is a counterfeit coin!"

Cao Xiaochun casually took out a gold coin and said with some hint.

"Behind this seemingly calm appearance, if you look carefully, you will naturally find something different."

Cao Xiaochun did not point it out immediately, but let Wu Zhao see for himself. In his opinion, the queen was not qualified. She was born to be an emperor. It is okay to be aloof, but if you do not fully understand the things you manage, then in the end , will only be ignored by the people at the bottom.

At that time, what you see from above is just an illusory world spun by others.

After hearing Cao Xiaochun's words, Wu Zhao was full of doubts, but she calmed down and observed carefully. Soon, she discovered the undercurrent surging in this peaceful scene.

"Dear Sir, this is this month's offering. Please take it."

Next to an inconspicuous stall, an old woman with a gray beard held a money bag and respectfully handed it to two big men who looked like military officers.

The big man just glanced at the banknotes inside, and his face suddenly looked unhappy.

"It's not that we are making things difficult for you, but the rules say that the Shudras who set up stalls on this street must hand over 50% of their net profits to us every month, and we will provide you with shelter."

"But look at it, does the amount in this purse reach this amount?"

The big man looked at the old woman with disdain and said angrily.

Although their class is the same as the old woman, because they joined the army, they are subordinate to the Kshatriyas, so they carry out the orders of the Kshatriyas. For people like the old woman who do small business, they are naturally There is a complete sense of superiority.

All living beings have their own desires, and there are always things that will embarrass the same kind to the greatest extent within their own power.

"Two adults, I really didn't mean to give less. This month, the Brahmin adults have come here to collect offerings twice. This money was earned by my old woman through hard work. You see, I only have a small food stall here. This is the limit.”

"You need to leave something to eat for me!"

When the old woman heard the big man's words, she immediately knelt down, her expression full of despair.

Originally, her stall was still enough for her to live on after turning in most of the offerings. Although her life was very hard, she had long been used to it.

But this month, those high-ranking Brahmans suddenly appeared and directly collected offerings from everyone, and the amount was very huge. They levied 80% of their personal property from everyone without any reason as the price of offering sacrifices to the gods in exchange for blessings.

Moreover, once collected, it means twice!

Nowadays, almost everyone on this street has had their savings drained away. Some people with rich families can still make ends meet, but like the old woman, it can be said that they are completely broke.

Even so, she still had to sell her belongings and collect enough money to pay the protection fee, because this stall was all she had, and if she lost the stall, she would starve to death on the streets in a short time.

The old woman doesn't want to die, she wants to live.

"Humph, we have nothing to do with the affairs of Brahmins. In the poisonous country, if they open their mouths, even the Kshatriyas cannot refuse. However, this is not the reason for you to pay less for protection. If everyone is like you, then we Is it still running?"

"Since you don't have enough money, then get out. This stall will belong to someone else from now on!"

The big man raised a sneer on his face, without giving the old woman any chance to plead, kicked her away, and directly lifted the stall. As the food flew, a piece of baked brown pancake fell at Wu Zhao's feet.

Wu Zhao took in what was happening in front of her and frowned deeply. Such things would happen from time to time on the busy streets, but the people nearby seemed to be accustomed to these things and would not even look at them.

"Numbness, indifference, everyone has an attitude of not caring about it."

"If this is what you want to show me, then I think it is meaningless."

Wu Zhao exhaled heavily and said helplessly.

Heaven created things and handed them over to the gods for management. The gods divided the gods into different levels. This kind of class difference is too obvious, so these things must happen. Wu Zhao knew this a long time ago.

"Of course not this, if you continue to watch, maybe you will find that even this ant-like existence has the same character as us."

Cao Xiaochun smiled. I didn't refute anything, but advised Wu Zhao to read on patiently.

What Wu Zhao said will definitely exist as long as there is a group, so there is no point in discussing it in a big way.
