Liangzhou, Zhangye County.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the crowd at the entrance of the vegetable market was crowded, and the people of Zhangye especially liked to watch the execution scene.

A prisoner kneels on a wooden platform, and behind him stands a ready executioner. A seat was set up not far away, and on the table sat the prison officer of this execution, the new Zhang Ye Taishou Fu Chang.

I saw Fu Chang take out a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube next to him, smash it on the wooden platform, and said loudly: "The time has come, and the executioner is accommodating!" ”

The prisoner raised his head in panic and exclaimed, "Master Fu, the grass people are wronged, the grass people are wronged!" Yes! ”

As the executioner's knife fell, the man's shouting abruptly stopped, and when he looked again, his head had fallen to the ground.

No one noticed, and in the crowd of onlookers, there was a man and a woman, full of sadness.

The woman was about thirty, and she was very good-looking, and her demeanor was quite graceful. With a big belly, she looked like she was about to give birth, only to hear her sobbing softly and murmuring: "Husband, ......"

Seeing that her voice was getting louder and louder, the man next to her hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, leaned into her ear and said urgently: "Brother and sister, don't make a sound, be careful of being discovered by the government!" ”

While speaking, the man looked at the headless corpse on the wooden platform again, and sighed to himself: "Alas, Brother Murong, you go all the way, your wife, I will raise it!" ”

Then, he pulled the pot-bellied woman and quietly left from the crowd.

After the execution, Fu Chang did not leave immediately, but got up and announced loudly to the onlookers: "Although Mu Rong has been punished, his wife has escaped from prison!" After investigation, Hu Yanping, the jailer of Zhangye, because he had a personal relationship with Na Mu Rong, secretly helped Na Mu to accommodate his wife this time, and committed Duan's escape. This official hereby announces that the whole county wants Hu Yanping and Duan, if the masses of the people have clues, welcome to report to the Yamen, the government will be rewarded! ”

At the same time, some arresters began to post portraits of Hu Yanping and Duan's everywhere, and began to prepare for the search and arrest. The onlookers also dispersed, planning to help the government find the two damned fugitives. How good it is to catch fugitives for the government, not only can it be regarded as a righteous and courageous act, if it is really caught, there will be a reward!

No one shouts grievances for Mu Rong, this Mu Rong wants to say that he is wronged, but if he wants to say that he is not wronged, he is not wronged. He was beheaded for leading the bandits of the territory to massacre the people and capture the government.

This crime is actually unjust, he did these things!

But it's a little wronged, because when he did these things, it was more than ten years ago...... At that time, his identity was the king of Beihai of the puppet Yan, and he had led the Yan soldiers to attack Great Qin, slaughtered the Qin people and captured the local government of the Qin Dynasty many times.

It stands to reason that since the imperial court did not investigate his guilt when Pingyan was in the first place, and acquiesced in him living in Zhangye County as a citizen of Daqin, it was basically equivalent to forgiving him. However, in these years, there is no provision that too many juveniles will not be prosecuted, and now although more than ten years have passed, Fu Chang has to convict him of the events of that year and sentence him to a summary sentence, which is also reasonable and legal.

In fact, the people of Zhangye have long seen that this Mu accommodation is not pleasing to the eye, it has been 20 years since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, and this kind of thing should have disappeared a long time ago! At this time, the people of Great Qin looked at Yan Yi in the same way that the people of later generations had the same attitude towards Manchu.

No one can find fault with Fu Chang's treatment, who let you create so many sins back then, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come!

......

said that Hu Yanping, with the Duan family with a big belly, trotted all the way and quickly slipped out of Zhangye City.

"Ah, I'm going to give birth, I'm going to give birth!"

Xu ran too fast and moved the fetal gas, Duan suddenly frowned, holding his stomach and squatting on the ground.

"Hey, brother and sister, why are you going to give birth?" Hu Yanping touched his head and looked at Duan's face full of puzzlement.

Duan glared at the rough man fiercely, and his heart was full of sadness.

I think she Duan was also a princess back then, but later the pseudo-Yan died in the country, although she became a flat-headed commoner. But the Great Qin Dynasty did not confiscate their property. Relying on the money saved when they were princes in the Yan Dynasty, the life of the couple in Zhangye County is still very nourishing, and her Duan family has never suffered in her life!

Where would you have thought that the newly appointed Taishou this year inexplicably turned over the old accounts from more than ten years ago, and killed her husband without saying anything, and even ...... If it weren't for the rescue of this rough man named Hu Yanping in front of her, she wouldn't have been able to escape today.

Duan endured the pain and explained: "I'm afraid I'm going to have a baby, Brother Huyan, quickly find a room for me, and invite a stable woman to come!" ”

Hu Yanping patted his thigh and said, "This child is the seed of Brother Murong, don't worry, brother and sister, I, Hu Yanping, will definitely let this child be born successfully!" ”

In the current situation, the two did not dare to return to Zhangye City to give birth, Hu Yanping had to take Duan to find a broken temple on the outskirts of the city, and then removed a door panel and spread it on the ground, let Duan lie down, and then Hu Yanping went out to find Wen Po.

Duan watched Hu Yanping leave, and when he thought of his newly deceased husband and the current predicament, he couldn't help but sobbed again.

Hu Yanping is a friend Mu Fang made after moving to Zhangye, this person is not very smart and has no intentions. Mu Rong happened to meet Hu Yanping at the beginning and knew that he was a jailer, and he was also a civil servant. I also thought that I was a newcomer, I was not familiar with the place, and it was always good to have a friend who was a civil servant. So Mu Rong deliberately made friends, relying on a lot of money, and after a few drinks with guests, he became close friends with Hu Yanping.

But in fact, whether it is Mu Rong or Duan's family, they can't look down on Hu Yanping, a rough man.

Although she didn't look down on the rough man in front of her, Duan also understood that this rough man was the only thing she and the child in her womb could rely on.

Soon after, Hu Yanping came back with an old beggar woman.

"Brother and sister, in this wilderness, I really can't find Wen Po, the government is searching you and me, and I don't dare to enter the city. But I found this beggar on the side of the road, and she seems to be able to deliver babies at a very cheap price, so let her give it a try! ”

The beggar woman grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth: "The people in the neighborhood who call Hanako can't afford to hire a stable wife, they are all old people who come to help deliver babies, the old body is experienced, and the survival rate of receiving is a full thirty percent, Mrs. Don't worry!" ”

"Three...... Thirty percent? Duan's eyes widened, he looked at Hu Yanping, and then at the pickled beggar woman, and suddenly he didn't catch his breath, and suddenly fainted.

......

The child was finally born smoothly, Hu Yanping looked at the beggar mother-in-law and called out the good technique. The beggar took the honorarium and went away happily.

Duan had already woken up from the pain, and she was holding her newborn child, her face full of exhaustion.

Hu Yanping pointed to the child's lower body and said in surprise: "It's a handle, Brother Murong has a queen!" Brother and sister, give him a name! ”

Duan sobbed again and said: "My husband discussed with me before his death, if he gave birth to a boy, he would be named Murong Chao, hoping that the child's future achievements can surpass him!" ”

Hu Yanping patted his chest and said: "Brother and sister, rest assured, in the future, I will treat Chao'er as my own child, and strive to cultivate him to become a talent, so as to realize the legacy of Brother Murong!" ”

As soon as Duan heard Hu Yanping say that he was coming to cultivate her son, he immediately felt uneasy, you rough man will also educate children? Immediately, his face was a little ugly, and he smiled reluctantly: "Now you and I are both wanted by the government, and I have just given birth to Chao'er, and my body is weak, and I will have to rely on Brother Huyan next." ”

Hu Yanping said with a big bag: "I didn't listen to the question, with me, my brother and sister can rest assured!" ”

Duan asked again, "I don't know what Brother Huyan plans to do next?" ”

Hu Yanping thought for a while and said: "Zhangye County can't stay anymore, maybe the whole Liangzhou may not be safe, it's better to go to the capital, rent a shop in the capital and do some small business, and you can live!" And the capital is thousands of miles away from Zhangye, and the Zhangye government can't catch the fugitives in the capital! ”

Duan's euphemistically reminded Hu Yanping: "Brother Huyan knows, it's not easy to live in Chang'an, when my husband was arrested, the government copied our house."

The house was raided, and the implication was that there was no money. How much does Hu Yanping pay a month as a jailer? That's it, want to go to Chang'an to open a shop?

Hu Yanping smiled at this time: "Brother and sister, don't worry, what we have is money!"

As he spoke, he took out a handful of silver tickets from his body.

In this era, paper money in the strict sense of the word had not yet been created, but in order to facilitate trade, such a thing as silver stamps had appeared. It is not issued by the government, but by the big money banks in various places, and it is precisely because it is not issued by the government that it is not counted as paper money.

Although it seems to be very unreliable if it is not an official release, in fact, everyone uses it this way, and there is no problem. Those who can afford to open a money bank and print silver bills are all people with strong financial resources, and they will not have an accident easily.

In later generations, Alipay and WeChat are also not officially issued, and billions of people use these two software to receive and pay? It's all the same!

Duan's is a person who has been a princess, and he is well-informed, and he can see at a glance that this silver ticket is real, and it was issued by a big money bank in Chang'an, and it is unblocked all over the world. At a glance, I found that this stack of silver tickets has more than 100 taels!

Duan was taken aback and hesitated: "Brother Huyan, where did you get so much money?"

This money is enough to open a shop in Chang'an! Duan was surprised that Hu Yanping could save such a large amount of money.

Hu Yanping said: "Brother and sister, have you heard of Nanchong Hou?"

Duan said: "Nanchong Hou Pei Shengqin? I have heard that he is a young famous general who made great contributions during the southern expedition of the imperial court. ”

Duan's eyes looked at Hu Yanping with a pair of wonderful eyes, how could he never imagine that this rough man could still have a relationship with the young Pei Hou?

But seeing Hu Yanping raise his head, he said proudly: "Although Pei Hou is thousands of miles away, he has been friends with me for a long time, and he admires me a lot, and he specially asked someone to send me money a few months ago, and he wants to make friends with me!"

"Huh?" Duan's was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself Hu Yanping, is he crazy to lose his heart, he didn't drink today!

What is the identity of Pei Hou? I heard that Sima Daozi, the king of Langya in the Jin Dynasty, behaved like a grandson in front of Pei Hou at the beginning. Even if she Duan is still the princess of the Yan Dynasty, she may not be able to talk to Pei Hou. You Hu Yanping is a little jailer, and you dare to speak out and say that Pei Hou admires you?

Seeing that Duan's didn't believe it, Hu Yanping was about to say what happened two months ago, and he talked about it again.

The more Duan listened, the more shocked he became, Pei Shengqin actually sent someone to Liangzhou, just to win over the rough man in front of him? To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the real silver ticket in front of him couldn't deceive people, the Duan family almost thought that Hu Yanping was talking crazy.

However, in the face of the ironclad evidence of the silver ticket, Duan still believed Hu Yanping's statement after all, and finally she sighed: "This Pei Shengqin is still a loyal person!"

Duan really can't think of a suitable adjective, a dignified young general, inexplicably spending a lot of effort to make friends with a rough jailer, should he describe a fool, or describe an idiot?

There was no way, and finally held back a sentence of "loyal people".

Hu Yanping slapped his thigh and said, "Who said it wasn't, let's settle in the capital in the future, when we need to visit Pei Hou, come to thank you!"
