Approaching the summer, in the city of Chang'an, the temperature is gradually rising, the sun hanging in the sky, like a red-hot fire, boundless, never-ending radiant heat, the air is extremely sultry, the roasting people are sweating, miserable, there is no trace of wind, the branches are motionless, only the tireless cicadas make deaf noises, which makes people more annoying.

Through the window, looking at the gray walls and cornices outside, the exquisite buildings, Han Rui sighed, I don't know how many times he sighed, and finally realized the taste of being in prison, it is really not so easy to bear, if it is not every day, you can walk around the courtyard for a while, Ma Zhou interrogated from time to time, Han Rui suspected, I am afraid that he may not even have the mood to sigh.

It's just house arrest, it's all so hard, those who are really in prison and in prison, isn't it even more tragic, Han Rui is silent, lying on the couch in a daze, not wanting to move, thinking about it, thinking wildly, the tide of thought ups and downs, anyway, don't let your brain be idle, otherwise sooner or later you will not be able to stand the depressing atmosphere, go crazy, go crazy.

Dingding... Bite...... Boom...... Got the wind? Han Rui's numb eyes were more distracted, there was no way, all he had seen were those outside, the same buildings, if he continued like this, he would definitely be so bored that he would have to observe for a long time when he saw ants gnawing bones, and now he was able to enjoy the changing scenes, which was somewhat a rare entertainment.

The wind, breezing, slowly swirling, escalating, whistling, blowing up dust, dead branches and fallen leaves fluttering in the wind, rolling up patches of dark clouds, accumulating into a lot, getting thicker and thicker, the sky was suddenly darkened, and then a dull thunder was heard.

Crazy along the window, swept in, the boring air, a little cooler, Han Rui looked up, only to see the dark clouds rolling in mid-air, pitch black, like dyed ink, suddenly in front of his eyes, a zigzag electric light flew through the sky, as if the vast sky suddenly cracked a hole, and then with a bang, a dull scorched thunder exploded violently, and the earth shook for a while, shaking people's ears numb.

The electric light flickered, like a herringbone fork, boom, another thunder, rumbling and rolling over, the dark sky seemed to collapse down, thunder and lightning, the wind howled, as if to sweep Chang'an City away, the window lattice shook, Han Rui ignored it, maybe subconsciously, he hated a thunderbolt and split the Yushitai.

In everyone's heart, there is always an idea of yearning for freedom and escaping from prison, and it is not surprising that Han Rui is distracted, right here, the rumbling thunder and lightning have been brewing for a long time, and the color of the rain clouds is already black enough to be as black as lacquer, the air is moist, and in everyone's hearts, they have expected heavy rain to fall from the sky, so they have prepared early.

However, as if deliberately fooling the world, after a thunderclap sounded, the clouds that covered the sky began to pee, well, and it was the last residual urine, dripping, barely a few drops, and then the rain god in the sky, as if he was also a little embarrassed, hurriedly drove the thunder and lightning, and drove the clouds away.

Suddenly, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the blue sky, the sun was still shining, bright and bright, Han Rui was stunned, such a result of the tiger and snake tail must have made many people stomp their feet and scold their mothers.

At the right time, there was a knock on the door outside, and the scribe shouted: "Han Xiaoshu, Ma Yushi is invited." ”

Han Rui blinked his eyes, and hurriedly turned over to get up, feeling a little unsettled in his heart, vaguely feeling that the outcome of this trip might determine his future fate. The door was locked, the scribe opened it, pushed the door open, and his demeanor was as usual, Han Rui couldn't see any clues, settled down, and followed the scribe towards the yafang with ease.

When he arrived at the place, Han Rui found that in addition to himself, Gu Yin, and several ceremonial officials were also present, it seemed that his guess was not wrong, and the case was finally going to be closed, on top of the case, Ma Zhou's face was expressionless, obviously the verdict had not been pronounced, Han Rui stepped forward and saluted, greeted in a low voice, stood side, looked at everyone in the hall with a vague gaze, and then converged, waiting for an answer.

When the matter came, everyone seemed calm, how could there not be the slightest ripple in their hearts, but they didn't show it, they all remained silent, and when they saw Ma Zhou get up and open the fold, the air was immediately filled with a bit of nervousness.

"Secretary Lang Gu Yin, the ...... of the Ministry of Rites" Ma Zhou also did not have the habit of selling guanzi, and said directly: "After verification by this official, this matter has nothing to do with you, you can go." ”

Gu Yin and the others, their hearts were finally put down, they all exhaled, and a smile appeared on their faces, the disaster was unreasonable, and it was finally over, and they were naturally happy in their hearts, and then their eyes fell on Han Rui neatly.

Glancing at the fold, Ma Zhou said again: "School scrivener Han Rui......"

Han Rui's heart was tense, a little flustered, his face was heavy, could it be that he was going to carry the black cauldron?

“…… negligence in discipline caused the subordinate officials to act carelessly...... Absconding in fear of crime. Ma Zhou calmly recited: "I will be fined for half a year, and I will be dismissed from the post of school secretary and stay for hiring." ”

Han Rui was stunned, what do you mean, he was fired like this? Others are also puzzled, a few days ago, they also said that the matter is very serious, everyone thinks, someone is going to be unlucky, but now they are fluttering, and the responsibility is pushed to the little official, the thunder is loud, the rain is small, what is this.

Of course, they feel that it is not worth it to be imprisoned for a few days in vain, and Han Rui feels even more aggrieved, for no reason, not to mention framing people, in the end, they actually ended up like this, it has only been more than two months, and the position has not yet warmed up, full of enthusiasm and ambition, and before he has time to show it, the tooth card in his waist has been removed, it is really ...... However, Han Rui felt annoyed, but in the eyes of others, it was clear that he had done it, but he didn't know which minister of the court interceded for him, and put the blame on the missing scribe, and the heinous crime became invisible, he was just removed from his post and retained, it was too cheap, and the whole world should celebrate together, what is there to complain about.

“…… The case is closed, so let's go. Ma Zhou said, waving his hand as if he was rushing someone.

Everyone responded, after all, they had been locked up for a long time, they were uncomfortable, and they no longer wanted to stay in this unfortunate place, so they dispersed one after another, hurrying, and anxious, as if they were late and imprisoned again.

In an instant, the yafang was much empty, but Han Rui did not leave, and said, "Ma Yushi ......"

"What?" Ma Zhou asked.

"Thank you Ma Yushi for your care." Han Rui sincerely thanked him, he was not a person who didn't know what to do, so he naturally clearly understood that he had been calculated by others and was too deeply involved, so he changed to another official and tried the case, even if he didn't torture to extract a confession, he ignored his own defenses, found himself guilty, and closed the case in a hurry.

"Not necessarily." Ma Zhou said lightly: "This official is just impartial. ”

Han Rui smiled and saluted again, then turned around and left, knowing that he was advancing and retreating, Han Rui would not be stupid, he felt that he was innocent, and the court was unjust in executing him like this, shouting and disagreeing, and decided to appeal or something. Things are not clear, do not act rashly, walk out of the yafang, bask in the bright sunshine, Han Rui only feels that the sky is high, Ren has soared, and the taste of freedom is indeed very wonderful.

"Han School Book."

Just when Han Rui was intoxicated by the free air that had been away for a long time, Gu Yin's voice came from his ears, and he saw him walking quickly, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

Han Rui frowned, took two steps back, Gu Yin didn't seem to notice it, and said with an excited face: "I know this matter, it must not be Han Xiaoshu's doing, now the truth has finally been revealed to the world, it is gratifying and pleasant, it is not as good as going to the tavern to conspire to get drunk." ”

"No need, I'm going home." Han Rui said, refusing neatly.

Gu Yin agreed: "Yes, yes, I haven't been back for a few days, and my family must be anxious, but now that I am out of trouble, I will naturally return to appease people." ”

Seeing that Gu Yin was chattering, Han Rui suddenly stopped and asked calmly: "In that case, why didn't Secretary Gu go back immediately and stay and wait for me, what is his intention?" ”

"Han Xiaoshu ......" Gu Yin restrained his smile, showed an extremely serious expression, and said very sincerely: "The reason why I stayed is to tell you that this matter really has nothing to do with me, and when I see Han Xiaoshu, I have ...... By the way, at first sight, you have the feeling of hating each other, and regard them as confidants, how can you fall into injustice......"

Wiping the goosebumps on his arm, Han Rui shuddered in his heart, and interrupted: "I have already been dismissed, I am no longer a school scholar, just call me by my name in the future, and I know that this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

"Brother Fu Jie." As if he was relieved, Gu Yin's face was full of excitement, and he choked up and said, "It's really a confidant." ”

"The court has closed the case, it was the little official who did it, what can it do with you, okay, I'm leaving, it's okay, don't contact me." Han Rui said briskly, waved his hand indifferently, and floated away.

"Fu Jie......" Gu Yin was a little stunned, reacted, and hurriedly called to intercept, but Han Rui didn't give him a chance, walked quickly, and soon disappeared into the corner, waiting for Gu Yin to catch up, but there was no trace of Han Rui, the official offices of the imperial city extend in all directions, and they can be passed in any direction, it is difficult to find, Gu Yin looked left and right, frowned, muttered a few words softly, bowed his head and left.

After a while, Han Rui walked out of the imperial city, looking at the very lively, bustling, noisy and noisy Suzaku Street, and the gloomy atmosphere in his heart slowly dissipated, came out, really came out. Han Rui smiled brightly, took a deep breath, and suddenly ran away, ignoring the intertwined tourists, like children playing, laughing loudly.

Chang'an Yanjing, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the people in the city, well-informed, what strange things, even if I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I must have heard of it, but I really haven't encountered it, like this kind of thing, a young man wearing a dark green official robe, a dignified young man, suddenly, laughed, just ran wildly in the streets and alleys, everyone was incomprehensible, watch carefully, no one should be chasing after it, is it a seizure?

"The wind of the world says, the official heart is not ancient." An old pedant shook his head and sighed.

In the past, there were also officials, and when they heard the discussion, they hurriedly expressed their righteous and awe-inspiring attitude: "Having such a colleague is actually a shame for my generation, if I let me know who it is, I will impeach him and dismiss him." ”

"It's not that serious, maybe someone is in an emergency......"
