"It's time to eat!"

The iron door of the prison opened, and as the jailer shouted, the smell of food and wine wafted in, and the smell became stronger and stronger, and instantly permeated the entire cell.

These convicts, who are usually accustomed to big fish and meat, have been coarse tea and light meals for several days and can't eat enough, and a bird has already faded out of their mouths. At this moment, I smelled the strong aroma of wine and meat, like a hungry wolf, and there was a green light in my eyes. Even if he was proud of his identity, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the door of the cell.

The scene before them was bewildering.

In the past few days, there were large vats of food, and the jailers divided a bowl in each room like pig food, but today there were many jailers here, carrying bamboo baskets in their hands, and it was faintly visible that there were vegetables, wine, and meat in the bamboo baskets.

After a while, the basket of blue food was distributed into each room, two meat and one vegetable, and a small pot of wine, although it was not as big as the usual big fish and meat of the prisoners, but it was already rare to be able to eat such food in the cell.

Soon, they were assigned to the last room, and one person in the room slowly got up from the straw pile, took the wine and food from the fence door, and brought it back to it in a wooden manner, sitting on the straw and looking at the wine and food.

This person is none other than Du Gongcai, the former supreme governor of Jingbei Road. In the past, the majestic and invincible capital transfer envoy has now become a prisoner, which is particularly lost.

First, the evidence of his crime is the most complete and undisputed, second, he was not born in the imperial examination, and he is not a scholar, and third, he is also suspected of rebellion and murder of Qincha. Therefore, he has been spending the past few days in terror, for fear that Zhao Hao will cut himself down with a sword, after all, Zhao Hao has the power to cut first and then play.

After just a few days of tossing, Du Gongcai became much thinner and haggard, his face was dark and blue, and most of his hair was already pale. The wine and food are good, but he has no appetite at the moment, even the dragon liver and phoenix marrow are difficult to swallow, just looking at the wine and food in a daze, without the slightest intention of moving chopsticks.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he jumped up as if he had been burned by a soldering iron, and hissed, "Guillotine wine, this is guillotine wine!" ”

It was rare for the convicts to eat a decent meal, and they were eating with relish, and the cell was full of the sound of drinking and the sound of scumbags eating vegetables, and suddenly they heard his shout, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they put down the dishes and chopsticks one by one, and their expressions became panicked, even frightened and desperate.

"Damn, even if he is a Qincha, can he execute me at will!"

"How can this be reasonable, even if Lao Tzu is guilty, it is not a capital crime!"

"Bold Zhao Hao, how dare you look at the law of the country!"

……

The whole cell exploded in an instant, and the crowd was full of voices, and some people began to smash the fence with chains.

"Quiet! What are you talking about? ”

Suddenly, there was a loud roar from the cell, which forcibly suppressed the roar of everyone. Everyone heard Zhang Yue's voice, and suddenly quieted down and looked up one after another.

After a sound of sucking wine and smacking lips, Zhang Yue's angry voice sounded unhurriedly: "I oath to Taizu that you can't kill the doctor, even if it's an official, you don't dare to disobey it, let alone a Qincha?" I waited for one hundred and nine people, only a few people were not from the imperial examination, and now the wine and food we are waiting for are the same, if it is a severed head wine, will he Zhao Hao dare to behead all of us? ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt like an initiation, the frightened look on their faces gradually faded, and they heard Zhang Yue say: "I confessed my guilt yesterday, Zhao Hao's goal has been achieved, not only can he return to Beijing to get a heavy reward from the government, but also copied our industry to fill his pockets, and the praise of the market is great, it is fame and fortune, since I am happy, I will improve our food, you don't have to be suspicious, you have to eat, you have to drink......

Hearing that he was reasonable, everyone showed a relieved smile, and continued to drink and chew, Du Gongcai looked around, confirmed that his wine and food were correct with others, and also relaxed to enjoy the wine and food.

……

Luoyang Street gradually regained its former vitality, and the news that Lord Qincha had brought about the corrupt officials in western Beijing spread the news, making Luoyang City more and more lively.

Dongjie Avenue is the location of the embassy.

In a small restaurant nearby, a group of scholars dressed in Confucian shirts shook folding fans, drinking and discussing current affairs. Most of the scholars are seventeen or eighteen years old, and the scholars at this age are strong in blood and strength, and they like to point out the country the most, and the disadvantages of the times are the same, ancient and modern.

"Brother Ziran, as soon as my Dao Qincha arrived in Luoyang a month ago, all the charms and spirits had to appear...... You don't want to believe it, what is going on today? Ha ha...... If it is said that this Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials, Jiang is the most convinced is Shou Anhou, who can't wait to lead the horse to fall for him, and ...... before and after the saddle "A tall and thin scholar seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, sprayed wine at a person opposite, and laughed loudly.

The scholar on the other side, of medium height, was sprayed on his face by the tall and thin scholar's spittle, but he didn't care, but laughed: "Hahaha...... The contemptible man is convinced today...... As soon as Lord Qincha arrived in Luoyang City, he was really generous. First, he quickly cut through the mess, copied Cheng Jie's whole family, and slashed the profiteers who hoarded Juqi with a desperate blow, and quickly controlled the disaster. Now it is even more corrupt officials and corrupt officials on Jingbei Road...... The contemptible people's admiration for Lord Qincha is like the water of a great river, gushing endlessly...... Come, all of you, drink this cup and applaud Lord Chincha! ”

Before the words fell, several students raised their glasses and drank a glass together.

"Alas...... Lord Qincha saved millions of people from fire and water in the west of Beijing, and we only have admiration, but we just catch them all...... Hey...... But it may not be ......," an old scholar laughed coldly.

Someone asked suspiciously, "What does Brother Ziyu mean by this?" I heard that those evil officials, since Du Gongcai, have all confessed their guilt and signed and detained, just waiting to be sent to the capital and waiting to be released! ”

"Hehe~ Lord Qincha was ordered to go out of Beijing and patrol on behalf of the sky, and both roads in Beijing and west were subject to his control. If you enter the capital, how to punish the crime is not something that Shou Anhou can control...... Du Gongcai was originally just a servant, how could he be promoted to the third rank of the senior member and the shepherd? Is there no big backer behind his unscrupulous greed for food for disaster relief, and his collusion with profiteers to raise grain prices? Shou Anhou is just a member of the third grade, a distant clan, and the backer is so big, I am afraid that Shou Anhou can shake it! ”

When the scholars heard this, their passion instantly seemed to be extinguished by ice water, and they were stunned. After a long time, someone asked angrily: "Could it be that the millions of souls who starved to death on the two roads in Beijing and West have been given up in vain?" ”

The older scholar shook his head and remained silent.

"Out of the charts!"

Below the restaurant, there was a sudden commotion, everyone looked up, only to see the door of the transfer envoy's office, I don't know when a big official list was pasted, and the people of good things poured over like a tide.

"Let's go, go down and have a look!"

The proposal of the student named Ziran was immediately responded to by all the beings, and everyone threw down a string of money on the wine table, and then quickly went downstairs and rushed towards the official list.

The crowd was already full at this time in front of the official list, which was not a special thing in modern times, but at that time, there were really not many people who could read and write on the streets. Therefore, although there are many people in front of the list, they are actually more lively.

The people at the back stretched their necks one by one, stood on tiptoe and looked ahead, not wanting to see the official list, but actually just wanting to listen to the reading of the list in front; As for the people in front of them, some people obviously don't know a word, but they shake their heads and pretend to know the words, and there are words in their mouths, but no one can hear clearly; There are also people who recognize a few words, and they also shake their heads and read them, and their voices are loud and low - when they encounter the words they know, they read them out loud, and the words they don't know are brought over in a low voice and vaguely, and after reading them for a long time, others don't know what is said on the list; As for those who can fully read the list, they haven't arrived yet......

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

With the shouts of those scholars, everyone gave way one after another...... Everyone is not stupid, at a glance, you can see that the main ones in front of you who are shaking their heads are some mallets, and when you see these people dressed and imposing, you will know that the real literacy is coming.

Several people rushed left and right and forcibly squeezed to the front, and the scholar named Ziran took the lead and took the lead in squeezing to the front of the list, and only looked at two lines of words on the list, and then his mouth opened wide in surprise, and his face was full of incredible expressions.

The rest of the people finally squeezed over, seeing his expression, they were secretly surprised in their hearts, and hurriedly raised their eyes to look at the list, and after a while, they all showed the same expression as Ziran.

The scholars turned around, you look at me, I look at you, all of them were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

Hahaha~

Ziran was the first to react, raised his head and laughed wildly: "Shou Anhou, the first hero of the ages!" ”

Hahaha~

All the scholars burst into an irrepressible burst of laughter in unison, and tears came out of their laughter.

After a long time, the scholar surnamed Jiang stopped laughing, raised his hand, and said excitedly: "This matter should be revealed, go, go to the drunken spring building, Jiang has a treat, if you are not drunk, you will not return!" ”

Ho~

All the scholars responded, so they squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards the Zuichun Building.

They tossed in front of the list, coming and going in a hurry, and the content on the list did not reveal half a word, so angry that those who watched the excitement couldn't help but scold: "I'm a young sister, if you don't know how to read, just say it clearly, what kind of pretend!" ”

The scolding continued, and another roar came: "Get out of the way, don't blame me if you break your arm!" ”

Everyone was furious, but they saw two men who were as strong as bears, with fierce faces full of fierce light, and squeezed in viciously. Behind the two villains, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper followed him all the way to the top of the list.

The middle-aged man looked at the list, and was immediately shocked, and hissed: "Quickly follow me back to Beijing to report to my husband, something big is going to happen!" ”

After saying that, he squeezed out of the crowd with two villains and walked away.

Everyone made a fuss for a long time, but they still didn't understand the content on the list, and they scolded "mothers" and "turtle grandchildren" one by one, until finally another scholar came and read the content on the list to everyone word by word.

Ho ho ho ho ~

There was a deafening cheer from the crowd, and some people even lifted the scholar high, as if he were a hero who had returned triumphantly.

After a while, the earth-shattering cheers swept through the entire Luoyang City like a hurricane, and continued to spread around the city.
