Chapter 227: Ascension

Example A group of people walked north along the main street for more than 200 meters, and the way was full of citizens of An Yun who came to see the Western scenery. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 These people often march back and forth on the avenue south of the county, especially during this time, the soldiers in uniform blue military uniforms often march on the avenue in a neat queue and sing majestic songs. But I usually look at it from a distance, so when have I seen it so closely? Now I saw that the children rushed up to ask for candy, and they all crowded up to watch the Martians.

The road in this Anyun County was originally dilapidated, and it was probably paved with gravel at the earliest, but no one repaired it for a long time, and the road surface was very seriously dented. Not to mention that there are still people pouring night incense indiscriminately, and sewage is flowing all over the ground, which makes the example can't help but have the urge to cover his nose. When he pushed away these onlookers with a deep foot and a shallow foot, he stepped on a slippery and greasy thing, and couldn't help but look down and saw that he had just stepped on a lump of ...... Suddenly felt very disgusted, and hurriedly rushed forward a few steps, scraping several times on the bluestone slab on the side.

As a patriarch from the old time and space, he always thought that the living conditions in Anyun City were better than the ordinary villages outside, so he and some of the elders have been advocating that they want to launch an attack to capture Anyun County, and then live in the county seat. But now I walked through the city wall and looked inside, and I couldn't help but taste it. Just looking at the way these ordinary people scratch their ears and cheeks one by one, God knows how many fleas are eyeing their delicate skin and tender flesh under their clothes. Not to mention the rancid smell that permeated the air, God knows if it was the smell of these night incense or the smell of these people, anyway, it made him faintly gag several times. In the eyes of the example, the city of An Yun is nothing more than a slum surrounded by a wall. There were not many houses in the city, and the compounds of the rich were not large, and the shacks of the poor were even more. It is said that the shantytowns of the old time and space are like this, if you compare them with here, the shantytowns of the old time and space are simply paradise, even the slums of New Delhi are thrown off this living condition for several streets. "Meow, if you come, the city management will have to be demolished." He couldn't help but muttered something secretly, causing the naturalized people next to him to look at him in amazement.

Not long after, the brigade walked to the gate of the county government under the strong onlookers of more and more ordinary people. At this time, the militia began to move according to their pre-assigned tasks, some drove away the people who were too close to the onlookers, some drove the prisoners to carry the wounded prisoners off, and the people were busy moving the wooden boxes down one by one and piling them up in front of the porch at the entrance of the yamen.

Example: The head of the counterintelligence division now looks idle, with his right hand on the holster, his left hand taking out a cigarette in his pocket, putting it to his mouth, and then taking out a box of matches and lighting it directly. Of course, this is not a real cigarette, to be precise, it is not a cigarette at all...... Since it only took two months for the Patriarchs to clear all the cigarettes they had brought, and then in the third month, the Patriarchs had been able to clear all the Cents' Welfare Cigarettes in the Senate's Club. Now all the patriarchs have to quit smoking, not because they want to quit, but even if they want to, they can't find a cigarette to smoke, there are absolutely no cigarette factories and supermarkets here, and there is no hope for even tobacco leaves.

In the old time and space history, tobacco was transmitted from the Philippines to Fujian in the late 16th century, and then to Taiwan, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. And in the era of Emperor Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty also banned smoking for a time. Therefore, there is no tobacco anywhere in the whole of Annan now, and we can only honestly wait for the tobacco in Sun Wenbin's farm to mature. But how can these bunch of smokers survive these months? You have to know that you haven't smoked for a few months, what is the difference between this and quitting smoking? As a result, many patriarchs began to pick leaves to roll cigarettes, and then from the dried leaves they picked up to the fresh leaves to make roasted leaf cigarettes. Then Sun Wenqing stumbled upon a Solanaceae plant in the field during a field search for herbs, although this large-leaved plant has a very different appearance from tobacco, but the leaves are sticky to the touch. After roasting, they found that the burning taste of the leaves of this slightly higher oil content could be fake, especially after being processed with solid spices such as clove and fennel, which was comparable to the tobacco leaves of the past. Although there is still some impure leaf flavor in the taste, it is better than actually drying the leaves. This kind of cigarette was named "Oriental Port" brand special cigarettes, and privately in order to thank Sun Wenqing for finding a substitute for this tobacco leaf, the elders called this kind of cigarette "Wenqing tobacco".

There are two kinds of Wenqing cigarettes sold to the veterans, one is the filterless cigarette rolled out by the cigarette factory through the machine, and the other is directly shredded tobacco leaves, which need to be rolled into cigarettes with cigarette paper before lighting the cigarette. Both cigarettes have a number of adherents, such as Paradigm, who carries a wooden cigarette case full of twenty cigarettes.

The example took a deep breath with a cigarette in his mouth, then puffed out of his nostrils and looked up at the yamen. The yamen in front of him is really dilapidated, the original vermilion lacquer gate is in disrepair, the crack in the door is wide enough to reach through, and the nails on the door are sparse, and I don't know if it was originally like this, or if it was stolen a lot. Looking up, the tiles above the porch of the yamen are also broken in many places, and there are also many holes in the bluestone slabs on the corresponding ground that have been dripped out of the water, and I really don't know how many years it has been broken. Seeing this, he couldn't help but take two steps back, there was a stone lion on both sides of the county yamen, but this workmanship really didn't look like a lion. You must know that there are no lions in China, and in the history of the old time and space, it was during the period of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Dayue Clan of the Western Regions sent a male lion over, which allowed the Chinese to see the lion for the first time. However, this kind of royal plaything must not have been seen by the common people, so although with the introduction of Buddhism, the lion gradually became a divine beast endowed with divine powers, but it has always been regarded as a mythical animal rather than a real-life animal. Since not many people have ever seen a lion at all, it is understandable that the doorkeeper does not look like a lion.

There was clearly a man standing behind the door, nervously looking through the crack in the door, and seeing his trembling appearance, he probably thought he hadn't been discovered. The example couldn't help but look left and right, but he didn't see the Dengwen drum on either side of the yamen, so he couldn't help but be curious, and asked the naturalized people standing next to him, "Isn't there a Dengwen drum at the entrance of the county yamen?" ”

The naturalized people are also full of stars, "Chief, what is the Dengwen Drum?" ”

"It's the kind of drum that beats the drum and sounds the grievances, it's a big one, it's placed at the door of the county office, and when you hear someone beating the drum, the county official will come out and ascend to the court."

After listening to the explanations of the examples, the naturalized people were also confused, "Chief, An Yun has never heard of any Dengwen drums. ”

"Good fellow," Paradigm frustrated, "do you have to knock on the door?" Talking to himself, he waved at the militia beside him, "You go knock on the door and say that the Senate has come to give gifts." ”

Before the words fell, I saw the figure behind the door running back in a panic, and it seemed that he had accidentally fallen, which made everyone outside the door laugh.

"Master Zhou, Master Zhou! The big thing is not good, the thief has already arrived at the gate of the county government! A servant ran into Zhou Jinfeng's study again. However, Zhou Jinfeng was not as panicked as last time this time, he calmly brushed down his sleeves, coughed lightly and asked, "Why did the thief come?" ”

Although he was calm, his heart was beating so fast that he was almost unsteady on his feet, so he simply sat down with a small packet of arsenic on his right. He has already prepared to live and die with the county government, Fuzhou has fallen into a heinous crime, since Beihai does not send troops to rescue, he has no choice but to live and die with An Yun. In his mind, he just came up with the scene when he was reading hard and the title of the gold list, and he couldn't help but recall the joy of finally waiting for a real lack at that time. Looking around, I remembered the excitement I felt on the first day I went to the gate of the Anyun County Yamen, but I didn't expect that this day would finally come and I would die with the Anyun County Ya.

Zhou Jinfeng was in a trance, when he suddenly heard the word gift, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the small packet of arsenic that he had already picked up in his hand fell to the ground, "What?" Gifts? What to give? ”

"I don't know the little one, the thief...... Ah, the man is still waiting at the gate, and he still asks the master to instruct. The official hurriedly said, "Judging from the villain, these people don't seem to have malicious intent. ”

Zhou Jinfeng had already had a nervous breakdown from the ups and downs of the plot, and since the arsenic bag had fallen, he didn't bother to pick it up, so he got up and smiled bitterly, "Then let's go and see what the thief is going to do." ”

With the shouting of "ascending to the hall", the door of the yamen was slowly opened, and several officials opened the door with some weak legs, and saw that a group of people at the door were looking at them with a smile, and they suddenly felt that they were a little shorter, and they quickly nodded and had, "Master Zhou is ...... in the lobby" said another meal, and did not dare to say any more.

Why is it in the lobby, Zhou Jinfeng has already made a plan, generally speaking, the welcome must be in the flower hall or directly in the backyard. But the person who comes is a thief, and he is an official, even if he can't win against these thieves, he is still an official. It is the least position for officials and thieves to stand together, even if he Zhou Jinfeng wants to die, he still has to have this backbone, so he will be promoted directly. In this way, I am setting an example, even if I Zhou Jinfeng dies, I will die as an official of Dawu, and I will not give anyone a handle.

However, he Zhou Jinfeng had the backbone, but he didn't dare to do these things himself, but instructed the official to call the thief to come over. These officials trembled one by one, for fear that they would be cut down by the thief on the spot if they said the wrong word, although they usually say that the thief is not like a thief, and he does a lot of good things in An Yun, but when people kill people, they really don't blink, if they are killed because of this, it will be too unjust.

Zhou Jinfeng is actually worried from the bottom of his heart, to say that he is not afraid of death is nonsense, but since the thieves said that they came to give gifts, and listen to them tell me what happened. In case they break out and kill people, they have arsenic at their disposal, and they must not let them do so.

He sat in the lobby and watched as a group of thieves walked in. The first person had a white complexion, and was wearing a blue cardigan gown, just like the people around him, except for a black belt around his waist, and a strange triangular box on the belt, I don't know what it contained. The movements of the people who came in were uniform, although there was a slight difference in height, but they all held their heads high, and their gestures were full of confidence and deterrence. Compared with them, Zhou Jinfeng suddenly felt that his servants were as timid as the flower children on the street.

Every time the thief who walked in passed through a doorway, the last two people in the line would stop, and they would stand upright at the door, and the spear in their hands would also stand on the ground, and that kind of expression of not being angry and arrogant suddenly made Zhou Jinfeng's eyes red. How nice it would be if your own subordinates had this kind of momentum? At this time, Li Xijue walked over from the side hall, saw Zhou Jinfeng looking at him, and quietly waved his hand at him, meaning not to act rashly. When Li Xijue walked to his side, he quietly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Master, the thief has already closed the backyard door." ”

Zhou Jinfeng's heart tightened, but he immediately relaxed, the thief was determined to eat himself, even if it was so, the big deal was to die to repay the country, thinking about it, he quietly opened the bag of arsenic under the table.

When the example walked into the lobby with a few militiamen, a person walked straight to the trial table and stood two meters away. The militiamen behind him were all standing at the door of the lobby, the spears in their hands were on the ground, the tips of the spears were facing forward, staring at these officials in the hall one by one, and immediately stared at this group of usually high-spirited officials like turtles with shrunken heads.

"Who's in the audience?" Zhou Jinfeng deliberately knocked on the startling wood and asked loudly. In fact, he was emboldening himself, in fact, his legs were already quietly shaking, and when he looked around, the officials around him were similar, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads one by one.

"In the following example, the commander-in-chief of the counterintelligence department of the Oriental Port." The example was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes stared straight at Zhou Jinfeng, and he said in very standard Mandarin. Zhou Jinfeng carefully looked at the thief in front of him, and saw that he had a white face, a polite appearance, and although his clothes were strange, he was very neat, and he looked like a serious child. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he studied hard, it wasn't that he couldn't get fame, so why should he be a thief?

The example didn't know what was going on in his mind, and just continued; "At the request of the Senate, we specially escorted a group of extremely vicious bandits and the heads of the bandit leaders who were identified to be sent to the Anyun County Ya."

"Duh!" Zhou Jinfeng was shocked again, "Nonsense, you are a pirate, and now you are a thief shouting to catch a thief, who knows if you are killing good and risking your merits?" Zhou Jinfeng was very conflicted at this time, he was afraid of death, but at this time he wanted to die. In fact, he didn't dare to let him eat arsenic himself, so he wanted to provoke these thieves, so as to get the reputation of scolding thieves and dying. Sure enough, I saw that the thieves in the hall were carrying spears in their hands one by one, and they were about to attack when the thieves in the hall gave an order. The officials were so frightened that they threw their water and fire sticks to the ground, and hurriedly leaned back, for fear of being killed indiscriminately by the thieves.

"Hahaha!" The example laughed. "I'm waiting to send these heads and bandits here, and I don't want you to receive a reward, and I can't do such a lack of virtue and smoke as killing good people and risking merit."
