The old man looked at Mei Xiaohan and said, "You are really very similar to one of my grandchildren!" ”

Mei Xiaohan didn't want to have any conflict with the old man, and at the same time, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she just nodded no matter what the old man said.

The old man was also very happy to see Mei Xiaohan agreeing so readily, but in Mei Xiaohan's opinion, the old man was no different from a patient with Alzheimer's disease. Treat such an old man, and you must not be serious with him.

After walking a leg of mutton, the old man left satisfied, and no longer lingered.

Zhao Dezhou also looked helpless, and said: "He is like this... I can't do anything about him! ”

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, so why stick to this?"

"Why doesn't Brother Zhao find another way"!

In today's world, where is the day when we and other ordinary people come out, we can only do nothing and waste our lives in vain!

Zhao Dezhou sighed: "I'm just an ordinary small farmer, where will there be any way out!" ”

Seeing off the old man, Zhao Dezhou said helplessly: "Having such a relative for no reason not only failed to bring any benefits, but added a lot of burden to me." ”

If you talk about the family conditions in the past, there is nothing to say about the people who can help, but the family situation of Zhao Dezhou can be seen by everyone with a discerning eye is very poor.

Among the ancients, there were not a few people who talked about love, and many people lived for a righteous word, putting money and even life aside.

Zhao Dezhou and Mei Xiaohan and others made a blood alliance, drank dozens of cups, and became brothers with different surnames.

Worship the heavens and worship the earth.

After the bow, Mei Xiaohan said: "Since you and I are already brothers, then Brother Zhao's affairs are my affairs, as long as I can use my place, I am obliged to help you." ”

Zhao Dezhou said: "Don't hide it from Brother Han, I have a friend of life and death who is now being imprisoned, and I have no way to rescue him!" ”

The person Zhao Dezhou said was named Zhao Guang, who was Zhao Dezhou's best friend, and both of them were each other's benefactors.

Zhao Guang was sentenced to death for robbing military rations, and he will be beheaded after the autumn.

"Rescue Zhao Guang, this matter... I already thought it was impossible! ”

Robbery of military rations is a capital crime, and there is no other way to rescue Zhao Guang than to rob the prison. However, the price to be paid for the robbery is simply too great.

What's more, risking prison for the sake of someone you don't know well, no one would do that.

Prison robbery is obviously a good idea, and it must not be done only as a last resort. Although Mei Xiaohan didn't know what kind of unknown relationship Zhao Guang had with Zhao Dezhou, Mei Xiaohan felt that the relationship between them must be unusual.

A small ordinary villager dares to rob military rations, which shows that this person is already beyond ordinary people, and this person is extraordinary.

It's just that for Mei Xiaohan, he shouldn't have taken care of it, and there was no reason to care about it. For such an insignificant person, it is very likely that you will get into trouble, or even jail time.

Zhao Dezhou said: "Fang is my mouth, this should also be the catastrophe of Zhao Guang's fate." ”

Liu Si said: "It is inconvenient for us to meddle in this matter, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "Since they are all brothers now, friends of friends are friends, and friends are naturally brothers of ours." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Then where is Zhao Guang being held at the moment?"

"Yunzhou Mansion Prison!"

The place where Mei Xiaohan came now is Yunzhou City, which is more than 2,000 miles away from Bianliang, the capital of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

The capital of the Later Zhou Dynasty was in Bianliang, with a total of 54 years in the five dynasties, and Luoyang was the capital of the Later Liang, Later Tang and Later Jin dynasties for a total of 19 years.

Kaifeng was the capital of the Later Liang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Fourth dynasties for a total of 34 years.

In the early days, he wandered between Luoyang and Kaifeng for 30 years, and after three years of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty, he finally controlled Yanzhao in the north, Jianghuai in the south, the water and land metropolis, rich in resources, and the geographical location was better than Luoyang, and was designated as the capital, and was followed by the Northern Song Dynasty that succeeded and completed the unification.

The administrative areas of the Later Zhou were probably in North China and Guanzhong, and later Huainan.

Due to the war and economic factors, the political core transitioned from Chang'an and Luoyang to Kaifeng.

At that time, Guanzhong was abandoned due to war, and the only stronger feudal towns were Li Maozhen and Dingyan Army of Qi State, and the Helong area also continued to decline, while Kaifeng was in the center of the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, responsible for transshipment of goods in Hebei, Guanzhong, Jiangnan and Huguang regions, and was the transfer station of grain and goods in the world.

When Guanzhong was abandoned due to war, Kaifeng, which gathered the wealth of the world, became the preferred position of the five generations.

Most of the wars of the Five Dynasties were dominated by the confrontation between the Xuanwu Jiedu envoy in Kaifeng and the Hedong Jiedu envoy in Taiyuan.

Compared with the late Tang Dynasty, the scope of the Later Zhou Dynasty shrank significantly, and the scope was smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the foreign tribes occupied the surrounding areas of the Central Plains in a big way, and finally established the Liao State and the Western Xia.

The second administrative region of the Later Zhou Dynasty is the prefecture, and the prefecture has a history of assassination, and the third administrative district and county have a county order.

Some prefectures were upgraded to prefectures due to the status of the capital or the importance of the terrain, such as the Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion in Bianzhou, the Xijing Henan Mansion in Luoyang, and the Daimyo Mansion in Weizhou, and some important prefectures formed the Wujing system in the Song Dynasty.

"If there is really no other way, I will go to visit the Yunzhou Mansion Yin."

"It's just that even if you go to visit Yunzhou Mansion, you may not be able to move him."

"Then it depends on what kind of conditions I offer him!"

"As long as the conditions for driving out are generous enough, I believe he will let Zhao Guang go."

Zhao Dezhou said: "If we can really rescue Zhao Guang, Brother Xiaohan will be the benefactor of both of us." ”

"I don't know what Brother Xiaohan plans to use in exchange for Yang Guang's life?"

Yang Guang committed the case of robbing military rations, and Mei Xiaohan planned to exchange grain for Yang Guang's life. And he believes that as long as his offer is high enough, he will definitely be able to reach a deal with the Yunzhou Mansion.

"Deal!"

"Life is a transaction, everyone just takes what they need."

Liu Sinian said: "You have already decided? ”

The reason why Mei Xiaohan did this was not only to rescue Yang Guang, but also to be able to get in touch with the upper echelons faster in this way.

Using the reason for Yang Guang's crime to go to the Yunzhou Mansion to negotiate conditions, even if Yang Guang cannot be rescued, he may be able to achieve other goals.

Another reason is that Mei Xiaohan wants to take this opportunity to learn more about Yunzhou Mansion. And starting from the case, you can know many trivial things.

For example: Why did Zhao Guang commit the case of hijacking military rations, risking his life to hijack military rations.

Zhao Guang is just a grass people, why dare to hijack military rations.

Why did Zhao Dezhou never forget Zhao Guang who was in prison, all of this had to make Mei Xiaohan suspicious.
