"What's the plan?" Inexplicably, the quartet asked in unison.

Zhou Xing took out a silk bag and said, "Rely on it." ”

Qiao Mo said: "Shang Fang Sword? ”

Shang Fang, also made above. It is the official office in charge of the manufacture and supply of imperial utensils, which is already in Qin and famous in Han.

Shang Fang Sword, that is, the sword used by the emperor. The minister who holds the sword given by the emperor has the power to cut first and then play.

The Shang Fang sword in Zhou Xing's hand was rewarded by Zhu Yuanzhang when Zhu Di was crowned King of Yan. Zhu Yuanzhang's more than 20 sons, Shang Fang's sword was only rewarded with one, and it was given to King Yan, which shows Zhu Di's status in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

This time, Zhu Di was transferred out of the capital by Zhu Zhang, and Zhu Di used his son to resolve it, in addition to sending Zhu Gaochu to the four masters of the interior, he also gave this Shangfang sword to Zhu Gaoxu.

To say that this old Zhu family is also very strange. Zhu Yuanzhang likes Zhu Di the most, but Zhu Di is the fourth, and it is impossible to inherit the throne according to the patriarchal law.

And Zhu Di's favorite Zhu Gaochu is Zhu Di's second son, even if Zhu Di later becomes the emperor, according to the patriarchal law, Zhu Gaochu will not inherit the throne.

Seeing Shang Fang's sword, everyone's eyes lit up. Qiao Ming said: "Ah, how did I forget this stubble? With this Shang Fang Sword, see who dares to get along with the second young master. ”

Qiao Mo clenched his fists: "Hmph, tomorrow we will go to the Dharma field and use this Shang Fang sword to save the second young master." ”

In the face of this Shang Fang sword, Zhou Xing was also excited. In those years, watching the old dramas, the loyal and traitorous dramas and fights, the situation became fire and water, the loyal ministers often fell behind, and the emperor was also mediocre, just when the loyal ministers were about to be poisoned by the traitors, a miracle appeared: a Shang Fang sword came out of the box, the upper beat the king was not right, the lower hit the minister was disloyal, the king was depressed, and the traitorous minister was given the head. The audience was happy, and thousands of angry hearts were comforted. Shang Fang's sword has become the sustenance and expectation of the common people for justice and loyalty. In the struggle against lawlessness with divine power granted by heaven, Shang Fang's sword glows with magical brilliance.

For a long time, Zhou Xing thought that this thing was a fabrication, but after traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he found that there was really such a thing as Shang Fang's sword in ancient times.

According to the "Biography of Zhu Yun in the Book of the Former Han Dynasty": Zhu Yun wrote to the emperor and said, "The minister gave Shang Fang a sword to cut the horse, and cut off one of the ministers to kill the rest." ”

Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty also said: "First seal the sword of Shang Fang, and punish the traitor according to the law." ”

The name Shang Fang sword symbolizes arbitrary power, and there is a solemn sword ceremony, which should start from the Yuan Dynasty. During the time of Kublai Khan, the Taoist priest Zhang Liusun cured the queen's illness with Shinto, "the emperor and queen are happy, that is, the order to keep the grandson as the heavenly master, Liu Sun Gu did not dare to be, but the number of the Shangqing, the order of Shang Fang to cast the sword to give, build the Chongzhen Palace in the two capitals, so that the grandson will live in it, and be in charge of the ancestral hall."

Since then, the Shang Fang Sword has become a royal token with a specific purpose.

Zhou Xing took this Shang Fang sword and watched it wrapped tightly in yellow silk, and his heart was extremely curious. What does this Shang Fang Sword look like?

He placed his sword on the table and carefully untied the yellow silk. A beautifully crafted and gorgeous sword appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The scabbard is made of red sandalwood, this kind of wood grows slowly, it can not be made for hundreds of years, it is extremely difficult to get a large material, and the wood is hard, dense, suitable for carving a variety of exquisite patterns, the texture is slender and floating, and the changes are endless, especially its tone is deep, it appears stable and generous and beautiful, so it is regarded as the best in the wood, and there is a saying of "one inch of red sandalwood and one inch of gold". To make such a scabbard, the red sandalwood needed must be made with a whole section of teacup thick red sandalwood, and it must also be straight wood, otherwise it cannot be made.

The hilt of the sword is also made of red sandalwood, decorated with precious stones, and carved with auspicious cloud patterns, which is extremely exquisite.

Zhou Xing pulled out the sword, only to see that the sword body was finely chiseled, the pattern was clear, the sword body was engraved with a soaring dragon on one side, and a phoenix with wings spread on the other, and the sword body was also decorated with the Big Dipper.

"What a good sword." Although he didn't know anything about the field of swords, after seeing this Shang Fang sword, Zhou Xing was still full of emotion.

Wrapping the sword again, Zhou Xing said: "With Shang Fang's sword, everyone can rest assured, let's go to the Dharma field tomorrow." If the second young master is escorted to the court, we will save him. If the second young master is still in prison, we will go directly to the prison to ask for someone. ”

Qiao Mo breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's good that I brought Shang Fang's sword. ”

At the moment, Zhou Xing and the others each dispersed to rest, and did not mention it for the time being.

In the Yangwu County Jail, although it was already night, no one could sleep.

After all, we will be on the execution ground tomorrow, who can sleep?

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't sleep either.

He always felt that he should be a carefree person, and even if the sky fell, someone would help him carry it. So insomnia or something is not a problem for him at all.

But he couldn't sleep tonight, and the child who had cut his throat and thought that he wouldn't have to die if he spit out the severed food he had eaten was lying on his lap.

This child, whose name is Ah Shi, is said to be the tenth in the family. But there is no surname.

The Han people of the Yuan Dynasty did not have a name, generally speaking, they were named by the date of birth or the row of behavior in the family, for example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, ranked fourth in the family, and the brothers in the family ranked eighth, so he was called Zhu Chongba, his eldest brother was called Zhu Chongwu, the second brother Zhu Chongliu, the third brother Zhu Chongqi, his father was called Zhu Wusi, and his grandfather was called Zhu Chuyi......

However, Ah Shi is even worse, not only does he not have a name, he doesn't even have a surname.

The person who gave the hope of the whole village to Zhu Gaoxu is called Xiang Renjie. Although the name is very domineering, he has not been able to become a hero for decades, and he is about to be beheaded.

I didn't be a hero in life, and I don't know if I can fight for a ghost male after I die.

"Brother Yang Xiaomu, am I going to die tomorrow?" Ah Shi raised his head, and from this angle, he could just see Zhu Gaoxu's chin.

This awkward name is a pseudonym given to himself by Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "No, how is it possible? ”

Ah Shi said, "But the jailers outside have said that we are going to die after we have eaten the severed head." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "He is just a jailer, and he can't do enough to say anything." ”

Ah Shi asked, "Then who needs to say what to count?" ”

"I've got the final say, haha." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

Xiang Renjie smiled and said, "Young Master Yang, I know that you are not an ordinary person. ”

How do you say that? Is the clothes I'm wearing not dirty enough and not torn enough? Zhu Gaoxu pulled off his clothes and ripped off a piece.

The garment is rotten.

Xiang Renjie shook his head slightly and said, "Young Master Yang, no matter who you are, all in all, please." ”

He was talking about the "hope of the whole village." ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "Wouldn't it be more convincing for you to go by yourself?" Well, don't talk about it, let's sleep in peace. What should come will always come, and what can't come will never come. ”

"Alas......"

Zhang Yang lives in the best inn in Yangwu County, and the entire inn has been chartered by them.

"My lord, this matter in Yangwu County ......" spoke of Yin Zihao, who was the deputy of Zhang Yang of the Zuodu Yushi this time, and was responsible for assisting Zhang Yang in investigating and handling the corruption case of disaster relief funds.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Shouldn't this matter be investigated?" All the money for disaster relief has been used to buy grain from Nandongtian. ”

"But in fact......" Yin Zihao knew that this was completely a rhetoric, hundreds of thousands of taels of disaster relief money, how much food do you have to buy? Everyone in the entire Yangwu County can get a lot.

If that were the case, there would be no victims in Yangwu County.

Zhang Yang naturally knows this.

"There is no need to say much about this matter, after returning to Beijing, I will report it according to Nan Dongtian's words." Zhang Yang finally closed the coffin.

Corruption, whether it is Zhang Yang or Yin Zihao, naturally has a share, as the saying goes, eating people with short mouths and short hands with short hands, since Zhang Yang already has an idea, Yin Zihao is naturally silent.

"I just got the news that all the people involved in the grain robbery have confessed and detained, and they will be beheaded for public display at noon tomorrow." Yin Zihao continued.

Zhang Yang was a little surprised, and said: "He is a small magistrate, and he has this right?" ”

Yin Zihao said: "If the evidence is conclusive and the criminal has signed and drawn the charge, there is." ”

Zhang Yang smiled slightly and said, "This guy still has some guts. Kill it or not, don't worry about this matter, and when this matter is over, let's leave for Beijing. ”

"Yes."

After sleeping until dawn, Qin Tian opened his eyes, stretched comfortably, looked at Shang Fang's sword beside him, and smiled on his face.

"Haha, I watched all kinds of Shang Fang swords on TV all day long, and today I will also take Shang Fang Sword to rob the Dharma field and experience the majesty of this drama."

"Everything in the drama is fake, and I'm all real guys, and I'll really kill people if I cut it down."

There was a knock on the door outside, and Zhou Xing said, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Jomo. Circumference history, up? ”

Zhou Xing grabbed Shang Fang's sword and said, "Get up, come in." ”

Jomo came in from outside, a cloth bag in his hand. Zhou Xing asked, "What is this?" ”

"Chincha wears." Jomo said.

Holding the sword of Shang Fang, there is naturally a set of corresponding Qincha costumes, in the Qing Dynasty, this thing is called the yellow coat.

The entrance of the vegetable market was full of people. Under the city walls, Minami Toda sat on a high wooden platform. There were two people standing next to him, one holding a sign of silence and the other holding a sign of avoidance.

More than a dozen ordinary people, escorted by officers and soldiers and jailers, came from the prison to the entrance of the vegetable market, with shackles on their hands and necks, and a sign on their backs, on which the names of the criminals and the charges of beheading.

"It's coming, it's coming."

"Heaven, earth, is there any reason for this?"

"These corrupt officials ......"

Seeing those people being escorted over, the onlookers gritted their teeth with hatred for Nan Dongtian, who was sitting under the city wall.
