The old people and children don't know how long they've been hungry, but now when they see the rice, don't say that it's bran, even if it's muddy, they can still eat the feeling of delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

"Don't choke, eat slowly." Seeing that the old man and child were choking and rolling their eyes, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said.

The old man's mouth was stuffed with rice balls, and he said vaguely: "Everyone has it, why don't you eat it?" Don't worry, it's not a gluttonous meal. Although you are a young master, you still have to eat, don't you? ”

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said, "You guys eat it, I won't eat it." ”

From childhood to adulthood, what he ate was all delicious food that these poor people had never seen in their lives, and if it was slightly unpleasant, he would not eat it directly. These meals that these old people eat? To put it mildly, even if you feed the chickens in Yanwang's Mansion, you are not qualified.

However, these people ate with relish. Zhu Gaoxu was wondering how hungry he must be to be able to eat such a feeling.

Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to remember something, and said to the jailer outside: "Hey, what you just said, after eating this meal, but there is no next meal, what does that mean?" ”

The jailer sneered, "Hehe, you don't know yet, do you? What they eat is a rush meal, also known as a severed head meal. You say, did you eat the last meal and then not the next meal? ”

The old man was suddenly stunned, and his face was still covered with rice balls. He stammered and asked, "What kind of rice is this?" What meal? ”

The jailer looked at the old man as if he were looking at an ant that was about to die: "Hurry up!" Guillotine meal! After eating this meal, you all have to go to Lord Yama, you say, did you eat this meal without a meal? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and asked in a lost voice, "What?" ”

Is this a guillotine meal?

He turned to the old man and asked, "What did you just go out for?" ”

The old man was also frightened by the word decapitation, and he forgot to chew a mouthful of food in his mouth.

"I didn't ...... Nothing......"

"Nothing, what's that for?" Zhu Gaoxu felt that he had never been in such a hurry as he was today.

In his eyes, these ragged people at the bottom are like ants, and they just want to kill or chop casually. But today, when the jailer said the word severed head, he didn't want these people to die, he wanted these people to be the hope of the whole village......

Since he was imprisoned in this prison, the young master has been quiet and does not speak, and now he is suddenly blushing and his neck is thick, which makes the old man a little uncomfortable.

"That's it...... When we went out, the county lord took a document and asked us to draw a pledge, saying that we would have food after the pledge. ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked anxious and said, "The meal is eaten now, but it is a severed head meal that has not been eaten!" Why don't you read what is written in the paperwork? ”

Another person said cautiously: "We asked, and the county lord said that it was written that we are all good people of the Ming Dynasty, and as long as we sign and draw the pledge, it means that we are not in the same group as the people who robbed the grain." Then we had food to eat. ”

"You guys ......" Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how to express his current mood. He now understood why the jailers were so hesitant to confront him when they came to arrest him, and finally gave up on letting him go to the detainment.

The jailer was afraid that he was a literate man!

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu was dizzy, and a feeling of weakness hit his whole body, making him tremble.

This document is obviously to make these ordinary people confess! As long as you have this document, you can pull all these people out and kill them!

Robbery of official food, capital crime!

As long as all these people are killed, then I am afraid that the embezzlement of silver can also cover up one or two!

"What a plan to kill two birds with one stone." Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the jailer, and the county lord who had actually walked away

When they heard that they were about to be killed, everyone began to cry, and the meal that had been eaten with relish was already difficult to swallow, and a child squatted on the ground, inserted his right index finger into his mouth and picked it out, so that he vomited. Zhu Gaoxu asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The boy whimpered, "I...... I spit it out...... Isn't it...... Don't cut off your head? ”

Listening to the child's words, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, and then his nose was sore, and he had the urge to cry. He raised his head, blinked his eyes, took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, touched the child's hair, and said, "Silly child." ”

In a richly decorated and tastefully decorated restaurant.

"Young Master, the people of Jinyiwei have arrived in Yangwu County." Uncle Mu reported to Zhu Shangbingyu.

Zhu Shangbing said lightly: "And then? ”

Uncle Mu continued: "As soon as the people of Jinyiwei arrived at the county office, there was an incident of the disaster victims robbing grain. Nan Dongtian, the magistrate here, was so angry that he convicted all the big and small people in the prison to death! ”

"Oh." Zhu Shangbing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Killing people in front of Jinyiwei, this Nan Dongtian is really capable." ”

Uncle Mu lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Not only that, but I also heard that Zhu Gaoxu was also arrested as a victim of food grabbing?" ”

Hearing the news, Zhu Shangbing felt surprised, and then stroked his palm and smiled: "Oh? Is it? Haha, interesting, really interesting. If Zhu Di heard that his son was beheaded by a magistrate, I don't know if he would be angry to death. ”

He followed Zhu Gaochu all the way, originally wanting to find an opportunity to kill Zhu Gaoxu, but now that he hadn't thought about how to do it, the people in this county had already helped him do everything.

"Just wait for Zhu Gaoxu to die, and immediately report the news to my dear fourth uncle. It's also a piece of my heart as a nephew. Zhu Shangbing looked out the window and said, "When will those people be escorted to the court?" ”

"Tomorrow afternoon."

The corners of Zhu Shangbing's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Remember to ask me to take a look when the time comes." ”

Inexplicably, the four masters all went out to inquire about the news and check the rumors in the prison, Zhou Xing sat in the inn, thinking about how to rescue Zhu Gaoxu.

"Since Jin Yiwei has arrived in Yangwu County, then an investigation should be launched immediately, right? When the time comes, all these corrupt officials and corrupt officials will be arrested, and the second young master will almost be able to come out. ”

Zhou Xing touched his chin and muttered to himself.

The door was violently pushed open with a loud bang ...... bang. Zhou Xing was awakened, and when he looked up, he saw that the four masters had already returned. Seeing the serious or angry expressions on their faces, his intuition told Zhou Xing that the situation was very bad.

"What's the matter? No matter how big the fire is, there is no need to take this door out, if it is broken, you will have to pay for it. ”

Qiao Mo walked over, directly slammed the saber on the table, and said angrily: "I just bought the jailer, and I got the news that the victims who participated in the grain robbery today have all confessed to the food robbery, and they have confessed to the food robbery, and they will be dragged to the court at noon tomorrow to be beheaded, and even the decapitation meal has been eaten!" ”

Zhou Xing admonished: "You speak quietly, be careful that the wall has ears." Tell me, what the hell is going on? The food that is robbed today will be on the Dharma field tomorrow, where is it so fast? ”

Qiao Ming sighed and said: "Alas, that's the way it is, as soon as the people of Jinyiwei entered the county government this afternoon, there was a robbery of grain and grass, and the magistrate here was also angry. It is estimated that there is also the meaning of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys. The common people were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they killed a few of them, which frightened people, and the others did not dare to speak. ”

Zhou Xing asked, "What about the second young master?" The second young master won't be beheaded too, right? ”

That is the son of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, if he is beheaded by a small magistrate county below as a disaster victim, it is estimated that Zhu Di will not say that this small magistrate county will be punished by the ten clans, and the bones of the eighteen generations may be dug up and whipped severely. learned from Wu Zixu back then, and acted perversely.

Qiao Qi said: "I don't know, we can't go in to visit the prison, otherwise, even if we don't rob the prison, we can talk to the second young master and see what the situation is inside." ”

Qiao Miao said with some uncertainty: "I don't think they should dare to take the second young master." Just the second young master's outfit and bearing, even if they are blind, they can see it. ”

Zhou Xing reminded: "No, don't forget, in order to enter Fugou County, the second young master snatched a beggar's clothes on the street before, and then kept wearing them." ”

“……”

Qiao Mo immediately became anxious when he heard this, and said, "Doesn't that mean that the second young master has now been regarded as a disaster victim?" Could it be that the second young master is really going to be pushed to the court tomorrow? ”

Qiao Miao said: "If it really comes to a critical juncture, the second young master should disclose his identity, right?" Could it be that knowing the identity of the second young master, this magistrate can still order beheading? ”

Zhou Xing shook his head and said, "No, if the second young master reveals his identity now, then he will be the first to be beheaded." If the second young master is arrested, it is already a capital crime, if the second young master is released, the second young master will definitely play the emperor and tell King Yan that even if the emperor does not believe him, then King Yan will make a move, and none of the officials here will be able to escape. Therefore, in order to save their heads and their black gauze hats, they will definitely say that the second young master is talking nonsense, and then they will make mistakes and cut off the second young master. ”

"Huh? So what to do? This can't do that, it can't do that, can we just watch the second young master being ......" Qiao Qi made a gesture of wiping his neck, with a sad face.

If Zhu Gaoxu is cut down, all the officials of Yangwu and Dawei will be unlucky, and it is a certainty. The key is that the four of them plus Zhou Xing will also be buried together.

"Probably not. Jinyiwei won't let these people come around. Qiao Miao also pinned her hopes on Jin Yiwei.

Zhou Xingdao: "Counting on Jinyiwei is not a way. If things do get to that point, it's the last resort. ”
