Luoyang, Tingwei Prison.

The deep prison did not seem to be much glorified by Ma Yue's permanent residence, but it was full of aroma because of the food brought by Yang Feng and Xu Huang.

Ma Yue, who spent nearly forty days in prison, has changed significantly, his long hair is casually draped over his shoulders, the food in Tingwei's prison is only better than that in Huaili Prison, so his cheeks are deeply sunken and his cheekbones are exposed, he has not taken a bath, and a few green whiskers growing on his chin cannot be shaved, and a prison uniform is hidden and torn, squatting on the ground and holding the food box brought by Yang Feng and eating happily.

Yang Feng and Xu Huang sat opposite Ma Yue, watching him gobble up without saying a word. They came over once every day off, brought some food to Ma Yue, and also told about what happened in Luoyang.

As Ma Yue was imprisoned for longer and longer, the Ma Yue that the two of them saw became more and more depressed, in fact, the word depressed is not very suitable for Ma Yue. After all, when he came to this court and prison, he was like a reckless hero with a low status, and he looked like a hooligan in the market, and he did not have the appearance of filial piety and officials similar to his own status.

It's like a middle-aged beggar who was born at the wrong time and has experienced vicissitudes.

But Ma Yue is different, the soul from two thousand years later gave him a pair of eyes that can also take people's hearts in the dark, if there are no deep eyes, Ma Yue's current appearance is no different from the common beggars in the markets outside Luoyang.

After a few breaths, Ma Yue, who seemed to be reincarnated as a starving ghost, ate most of the food in the food box, and suddenly Ma Yue felt a little uncomfortable.

With his cheeks stuffed with a full meal, Ma Yue raised his head and collided with the gazes of Yang Feng and Xu Huang.

Swallowing the food in his mouth vigorously, Ma Yue looked around at himself left and right, and still felt good about himself, and said with a smile: "I have flowers on my face? Why don't you speak, tell me, are there any rumors lately? ”

Silent.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, why don't you speak."

For a long time, it was rare for Yang Feng to squeeze out a relatively ugly smile on his face, it was really rare for Yang Feng to make such an expression on his handsome face, at least Ma Yue had never seen Yang Feng still look bad.

Yang Feng said: "Lord, you are thin. ”

Ma Yue stretched out his hand and touched his face, and said, "Eh, it seems that I have lost a little weight, it's okay, I will grow back when His Majesty has amnesty and go out to eat for ten years...... What do you call me, Aryo? Lord? ”

Ma Yue suddenly jumped up happily, and he didn't care about the food box when he fell to the side, and said, "Haha, what do you think, Ah Ruo, you actually recognize me as the master in this prison, hahaha." ”

Yang Feng said: "When Lord Xiao Guan carried the hanging door for Ah Ruo, you were already the Lord Yang Feng was determined to follow for the rest of his life, but there was no suitable opportunity. ”

Ma Yue smiled and stretched out his index finger and said, "When I go back, I want to drink, drink our Qin wine in Liangzhou, it is worth celebrating, it is worth celebrating...... Alas, how can the rice be buckled on the ground. Seeing that the food box fell to the ground and the food fell out, Ma Yue hurriedly squatted down and reached out to pick up the remaining little food and put it back in the food bowl, holding it while chanting: "You must know that the Chinese food on the plate is hard, and the grains are hard." ”

Finally, put your fingers in your mouth and suck the soup on it.

Ma Yue knew very well that this time was different from the past, he had no friends to talk to him, and if he was locked up like this, he would suffer from madness.

The prisons of the Han Dynasty were different from modern times, there was no place for prisoners to ventilate, the cells were so big, there was no one around Ma Yue, and he couldn't hear the distance when it was too dark, and the jailers didn't want to talk to him more.

He talks to himself a lot these days. Whether it was the Book of War, War Strategy, or the Book of Etiquette, he couldn't calm down and read it.

The symptoms started about a week ago, and he had to say more while someone was responding.

He must, to hold on until the Spirit Emperor amnesties the world!

Ma Yue smiled: "I can tell you, I can't see the outside disturbances in this prison for months, and it is indeed a little unaccustomed to calming down suddenly, but it is actually not bad after a long time, although the food is not delicious and the body is dirty and smelly, but this mind has time to think about some big problems." Usually, things are one after another, and I can't stop doing some foolish things, and I work hard in vain, and I am all pushed by life and have no plan. Living in this small space every day to read and think is also very beneficial to me. Speaking of which...... A few days ago, you came to tell me that 100,000 Taiping Dao believers rushed from Tiangezhou to Jizhou for the pilgrimage, how is it now? ”

Xu Huang said: "100,000 people from all states in the world went to Jizhou to make a pilgrimage to block the road, and 12 out of 10 died on the road because of disease and starvation. ”

"This is not good, it is too bad, how can tens of thousands of people say that they will die." Ma Yue frowned, looked up and asked, "Is there any other news?" ”

Yang Feng nodded and said: "There is another one, the lord asked me to keep an eye on the rumors about Taiping Dao, recently a group of Yellow Turban Daoists came from the west gate of Luoyang City, they set up a porridge shed to cook porridge for the passing people every day, and also treated the sick people with Fu Shui, I don't know what they are thinking." ”

"Blindfolding." Ma Yue said conclusively: "Can those poor Daoists have the ability to build a porridge shed? It should be a suspicious array set up by big people who came to Luoyang, and they have dealings with the powerful. No matter who it is, it will definitely be noticed by the court, and if they do something, Your Majesty should let me out...... Count the days, it's time for Brother Guan and Yanming to come back. ”

Yang Feng replied: "It's time to come back, there may be something delayed, and now it's on the way, don't worry, my lord, Brother Guan is strong in martial arts and has rich experience in traveling south and north, and the two of them will be fine on the road." ”

Nodding, Ma Yue frowned and said, "I'm not too worried about them, I'm worried about those Taiping Daoists." How is Miss Chua at home? Are you still used to living there? ”

Yang Feng said with a smile: "Habit, Miss Cai and Mrs. Pei play the piano and study in the back house all day long, after the court no longer investigates, Miss Cai is also very relieved to live in the house, but always ask His Majesty Liang Shangshu when he can release you out, Miss Cai is very guilty of the lord in her heart, a few days ago Mr. Cai just sent a letter to Liang Shangshu, so that Miss Cai is now in the Liang Mansion to avoid trouble, and then look for him after a few days of limelight, and let the lord take care of Miss Cai, Mr. Cai still doesn't know that the lord sent him away and went to Tingwei Prison." ”

"Hey." Ma Yue chuckled lightly and said to Yang Feng: "You go back and tell Mr., don't tell Mr. Cai about my imprisonment, the old gentleman has worked hard enough to avoid trouble Wu Hui has been separated by father and daughter for thousands of miles, why bother to burden the old gentleman again." ”

Xu Huang shook his head, took out two volumes of books from his arms, and said, "This is what Liang Shangshu wants to bring to you, saying that it is estimated that you have finished reading those books, and you can't forget to read them in prison." Then he said: "Everything is fine at home, Miss Cai is fine, but after you were imprisoned, Mr. Cai's disciple, the two young masters of the Hedong Wei family always ran to the Liang Mansion, the second young master was still gentle and elegant, and his speech made people feel like a spring breeze, and Lord Shangshu also gave him a greeting, the eldest young master was always domineering, and he always felt that the Liang Mansion was not well entertained, which was disgusting. Today, he was still insulting the farmer in our house, and Ah Ruo bumped into him. ”

Xu Huang said that Yang Feng was a little careful when he bumped into the Wei family, he was from Hedong, although the Wei family had not been an official in the imperial court over the years, it had been deeply rooted in Anyi County, Hedong for several generations.

"The Sun thief of the Hedong Wei family is so arrogant? Running to my house to scold my doorman? Ma Yue frowned and looked at Yang Feng and asked, "What's the matter, Ah Ruo?" ”

Yang Feng said with a smile: "It's also to blame me, the family horse died of illness, I hung the horsetail at the door according to our Liangzhou customs but forgot that this is Luoyang, the young master of the Wei family came to the door today and said that it was too bad to ask the Zhuang Ke to take off the horsetail, the Zhuang Ke knew that I didn't dare to pick it, Wei Qi insulted the Zhuang Ke, and took advantage of Liang Shangshu's absence to scold the Liang family's Zhuang Ke is the lackey of the Pei family. I had a fight with him. It's not a big deal. ”

Ma Yue was puzzled at first, Wei Zhongdao ran to the house to find Cai Yan and could understand, Wei Qi had nothing to do with his family, and he was sincerely embarrassed after making trouble for a long time.

Thinking of this, Ma Yue smiled evilly: "In this way, it's not a matter to always let him deliberately find trouble, he just doesn't like us, and he has to let him know that we are not easy to mess with, so ...... The little bastard of the Wei family dares to come to our house again, the second brother is my senior brother, if he wants to visit Miss Cai, let him go, someone can talk to her heart can also make Miss Cai feel better. But Wei Qi's grandson will be driven out directly when he comes again, and the Liang Mansion of my Ma family does not welcome him, he dares to break in, as long as he enters the door and follows his entourage, all my legs will be discounted! ”

"It's really better to bully when I'm a horse, I can't get used to this kind of trivial thing to pick on with chicken feathers, Confucianism is really annoying, there is a kind of big deal with Lao Tzu, let him cut me first, and I can't kill him if I defend him." After speaking, Ma Yue stretched out his hand and nodded his forehead, and said: "If someone in the house stops me, just say what I said, if Mr. bumps into it, stop immediately, Mrs. Pei's words will tell him that Wei Qian's kid insulted Zhuang Ke's original words, let Mrs. decide for herself." But I think that once this kind of thing is disputed, the effect is the same as if you don't do it, so you don't have to hesitate to give them some color. ”

"Remember, the entourage can beat casually but can't hurt a single hair of the two heirs of the Wei family, now is not the time to tear your face with the Wei family, bear with it first." Touching the scars on his eyes, Ma Yue looked at the deep mouse hole next to the straw where he was sleeping, and said in a deep voice: "Bear with me, I still have some old accounts to settle with Wei Qi at that time." ”
