Chapter 22 Liwei
Most of the people in the prison are reckless people, and according to the criminal psychology, they are all very impulsive people.
If they disagree, they will fight hard, and the light case will be disabled, and the heavy case will take people's lives.
Mei Xiaohan asked the two brothers, Liu Sinian and Liu Sihao, to bring a large vat of liquor, and asked Zhang Yun and Zhong Jiehao to give each of these people a bowl.
"Today I invite you to drink, and bring your bowls, and those who will follow me will drink this bowl of wine..."
"If you don't want to, I won't force it!"
"Come... Fill them with wine! ”
Mei Xiaohan ordered a full bowl of liquor to be poured on each death row inmate, but after pouring a full bowl of liquor, he dropped the bag and replaced the liquor with boiled water.
The wind is blowing slowly, and the warm spring wind should not make people feel depressed, but should be proud, but such a scene is a little embarrassing.
Mei Xiaohan felt that the act of shooting and killing people just now did have some impulses, but the thing had been done and was irreversible.
However, these death row inmates did not feel any dissatisfaction because of this, but became more honest and held the bowl blankly.
"I'll do it first!"
Mei Xiaohan raised his head and drank a whole bowl of boiled water, although it was only a bowl of boiled water, it almost made him choke.
Liu Sinian, Liu Sihao, Zhong Jiehao, Xiang Ming, Zhang Yun and others also looked at Mei Xiaohan directly, and they also raised their heads and poured them into their stomachs.
One by one, the death row inmates no longer dared to say more, and poured the wine directly into their stomachs, but as soon as the wine reached their mouths, several people spit it out.
Mei Xiaohan deliberately chose the "Prairie Falcon" liquor as high as 63 degrees, and he wanted to see how these heroes reacted after drinking this bowl of wine.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of people who love to drink, and there are many great writers among them.
Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty wrote in "The Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking":
Zhizhang rode a horse like a boat, and slept under the well.
Ruyang Sandou began to face the sky, and the road was salivating at the mouth of the koji car, and the hatred was sealed to Jiuquan.
Zuo Xiangri spends 10,000 dollars, drinks like a long whale sucking hundreds of rivers, and holds a cup of music and is called a sage.
Zongzhi is a chic and beautiful young man, looking at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind.
Before Su Jin Changzhai embroidered Buddha, he often loved to escape Zen when he was drunk.
Li Bai wrote 100 poems, and slept in a restaurant in Chang'an City. The Son of Heaven couldn't get on the boat, and claimed that his ministers were immortals in wine.
Zhang Xu had three cups of grass sage, took off his hat and exposed his crown in front of the prince, waving the paper like a cloud of smoke.
Jiao Sui Wudou Fang Zhuoran, talking about the four feasts.
In the literature of the Tang Dynasty, the names of soju and steamed liquor have appeared.
In Li Zhao's "Supplement to the History of the People": "Wine has the burning spring of Jiannan" (the Tang Dynasty generally called wine "spring");
Yongtao Shiyun: "Since I arrived in Chengdu Shochu fever, I don't want to enter Chang'an." It can be seen that in the Tang Dynasty, the name of soju has been widely spread.
Tian Xi wrote in the "Qu Materia Medica" said: "Siamese wine is re-burned twice with soju, into the precious fragrance, and its altar is smoked with more than ten catties of sandalwood like lacquer, and then into the wine, wax sealed, buried in the soil for two or three years to eliminate the burning gas, take it out and use it."
Ancient water wine was generally koji-fermented wine, that is, mash lees, with a relatively low degree of 9 to 18 degrees.
Later distilled soju was probably close to 50 degrees, and in the records of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", soju appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and soju was not an ancient method.
Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the method was created, and in recent times, only glutinous rice or japonica rice or millet or rice or barley were steamed, and koji brewed in an urn for seven days, and steamed with retort. It is as clear as water, the taste is very strong, and the wine is also dewed.
Bai Juyi wrote another poem: The lychee is newly ripe and the cockscomb is colored, and the soju is amber at the beginning. Folk soju has appeared as early as the Tang Dynasty.
These death row inmates thought they could drink a bowl of it in a big gulp, but they didn't expect that after drinking it in their stomachs, it would be like a fire burning.
It was as if it was not wine that was drunk, but a fire. But seeing that Mei Xiaohan had already drunk it, he didn't dare not drink it, for fear that he would end up with his hard-won life.
After a few death row inmates drank a whole bowl of liquor, they could still speak a few words in a vague way at first, but then they began to lose consciousness.
"Mei Gongzi.... What kind of wine is this? Why did it burn so badly! ”
After drinking this whole bowl of wine, many people stumbled a little when they walked, and their steps were unsteady.
Seeing these staggering death row inmates, Mei Xiaohan deliberately wiped her mouth and said, "You heroes... My wine tastes good, doesn't it? ”
"It's... This wine tastes good, but I don't know why it burns so badly. ”
"This wine... It's too strong, I can't stand it! ”
"The wine has been drunk, presumably the person who didn't want to leave has agreed to stay?"
"It's natural... Since we have already agreed, how can Mei Gongzi go back! ”
"It's just... It's just that we miss our big brother! ”
"Oh... No, no, no... Don't say it, don't say it! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, do you want to live!"
"After drinking a little wine, I started talking nonsense, and I don't want to kowtow to Mei Gongzi to make amends!"
The constant mention of this eldest brother who was imprisoned in the prison made Mei Xiaohan have to be alert and have some interest in this mysterious eldest brother.
"Wait! Who is that big brother you're talking about? ”
A voice came from the crowd: "Why should Mei Gongzi ask wisely? ”
As soon as she said this, Mei Xiaohan was even more puzzled and said, "This brother, I don't know why I said that?" ”
"It's that Li Jun who is worth 3,000 stone of grain! It's just that Mei Gongzi thought he was too expensive, so he didn't buy it. ”
When this person said this, Mei Xiaohan was quite embarrassed.
"I don't know what the name of this brother is, and what is the relationship between this big brother and you?"
The person who spoke was named Li Jiang, Li Jun's cousin, and was implicated because of Li Jun's matter. In fact, Li Jiang did not commit a crime sufficient to be sentenced to death, but he was implicated due to bad luck.
"There are so many death row prisoners in the world, where can I save them!"
The whole world is not the king's land, Mei Xiaohan feels that she doesn't have so much ability to save so many people.
"My name is Li Jiang, and the eldest brother they are talking about is Li Jun!"
I don't know who spread the news that the three thousand stone grain can be exchanged for Li Jun's head, and now it is difficult for Mei Xiaohan to ride a tiger.
"Please Mei Gongzi save our eldest brother!"
"Please Mei Gongzi save our eldest brother!"
"Ask Mei Gongzi!"
The spring breeze is very comfortable, and the feeling of being kneeling and begging to worship is indescribable, and there is an indescribable pleasure. The feeling is psychological, like climbing to the top of the clouds.
Mei Xiaohan didn't want to give Li Jun out of the way, but she didn't want to make concessions easily, once she gave in, there would be not many bargaining chips to make a deal with Yunzhou Mansion in the future.
But seeing that so many people are talking for Li Jun, there are some entanglements.
Maybe Li Jun has an extraordinary meaning to them, or maybe Li Jun has become their spiritual pillar.
Mei Xiaohan thinks that what Li Jun is to them, none of this matters, the important thing is that they can use it for themselves. It's brutal, but it's practical.
"If Gongzi Mei doesn't want to save his eldest brother, we will go to rob the prison!"
"We don't want to live in the world!"
"Yes... We're going to save Big Brother! ”
I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol, or the loyalty to the eldest brother, these death row inmates are very excited one by one. But Mei Xiaohan understands that just because these people want to break into the prison to save people, it is tantamount to sending them to death.
"Since you are going to save your eldest brother, then go ahead! It's just that... Aren't you afraid of hurting me? ”
"No... We will never give up Mei Gongzi! ”
"One person does things, one person does it!"
"Joke! Are you stupid to be one of those officials? You were rescued by Mei Gongzi, and now that you are let go back, they will naturally come to Mei Gongzi! It was an old man who spoke and suddenly appeared in the crowd.
"I don't know if I can ask Mei Gongzi for a bowl of wine!"
The uninvited old man looked at everyone's surprised eyes and said with a smile: "You don't believe what I said? ”
"You old man, what nonsense!"
There is a Mei Gongzi in Yunzhou Mansion, which has become a well-known thing for everyone, and there is nothing to say.
Mei Xiaohan said: "It seems that I am too high-profile, and I have to change such a bad problem in the future!" ”
The old man smiled and said, "Isn't Mei Gongzi really going to rescue that Li Jun?" ”
"Are you here to beg for a drink, or are you here to intercede for Li Jun?"
The old man said, "Drink first!" Leave the rest of the matter at that! ”
