"Stop! Get off the sedan car! ”

Finally, I don't know how long the group had been gone, with a low and sharp voice from the bearded man in front of the sedan chair, everyone stopped. Chen Youliang's eldest brother, Chen Hailiang, also walked out of the official sedan chair.

And before that, our Li Tianyu was still wondering if the official sedan chair that Chen Hailiang was sitting in today was his own? After Chen Youliang's confirmation, he learned that the official sedan chair that Chen Hailiang was sitting in was his father Chen Zhifu. And Li Tianyu couldn't help but sigh, it seems that no matter what era it is, this second generation of officials can still be very good. Drive the bus, burn the oil, spend the public money, and go to the Gongqing Building...... It's noisy, those bastards of later generations, and after the sons hang a pass from the provincial government in front of their cars, they can all go against the road in reverse gear.

"Li Gongzi, the official office has arrived, please let Li Gongzi get off the horse and move with me to the palace." But after seeing Chen Hailiang come out of the official sedan chair, he walked straight to Li Tianyu's horse, and then said to Li Tianyu on the horse.

"Oh, Sarui! And that's down. I didn't know it had arrived. But Li Tianyu said this with a big grin, but he couldn't see the slightest embarrassment from his expression and tone.

And Chen Youliang and Xiaohao on the side couldn't help but laugh after listening to Li Tianyu's words. It's noisy, what kind of excuse Li Tianyu is looking for, he has to find such an excuse that he knows at a glance that it is nonsense. With such a big Yangzhou official in front of you, you actually said that you didn't know that you had arrived, this lie is really too untechnical. Although Chen Hailiang knew it very well in his heart, he didn't care much about it, because he had already heard of the name of this Li Gongzi in front of him before. And now that I've seen it, although there is still a bit of a gap with the image I thought in my heart, I don't look like that kind of arrogant son.

Li Tianyu, Chen Youliang and Xiao Hao quickly got off the horse, and then under the leadership of Chen Hailiang, they went to the Yangzhou official line in front of them. Li Tianyu didn't pay much attention to this official office before, he only cared about farting with Chen Youliang and Xiao Zhengtai, and there was an official sedan chair in front of him blocking his line of sight, which made him unable to observe the true face of this official office in Lushan.

What catches Li Tianyu's eyes now is a big wall, just like the one in Zhongnanhai that he saw on TV in his later life, facing the door, with the words "Serve the people!" "A few big words like a big wall. It's just that there is no slogan written on this wall, which can only be used to shout, but a picture is painted on it, uh, to be exact, it should be a relief carved on a page, yes, this is the legendary mural. Li Tianyu saw that this mural was painted with a large unicorn beast, and the feet and surroundings of this unicorn were full of gold and silver treasures, and the unicorn beast on the picture was indeed facing the sun in the upper left of the mural, to be exact, it should be Chaoyang with his blood basin mouth open. This scene looks really domineering, just this picture, it will definitely make those Shengdou small people have to hide when they see it, and it is estimated that they will soon catch up with the golden dragon fish in the palace, oh no, the pattern of the golden dragon is mighty.

"Youliang, I see this unicorn on this mural sitting east and facing west, the whole body is shining with golden light, radiant, and the posture of looking up at the morning sun in the sky at 45 degrees, it looks really domineering and majestic. Oh, actually, I just wanted to ask, is this thing still used to ward off evil spirits and suppress and protect the entire official office? ”

"Well, I think it should be." But seeing that Chen Youliang also pretended to know very well, he nodded in affirmation.

"Li Gongzi, it seems that you really haven't come to this official office."

"Oh? Brother Hailiang said this, it must be that the younger brother said the wrong function of this unicorn beast. ”

"Don't hide it from Li Gongzi, in fact, the wall in front of us is called Zhaobi, also known as Xiao Wall. This wall has what Li Gongzi said to ward off evil spirits, this is because in the past, people thought that there would be ghosts in their houses to visit, so they built a screen wall like this in their own gate to cut off the way of the little ghosts. Because it is said that the imps can only walk in a straight line and cannot turn. In addition, as a screen wall, the wall also has the effect of blocking the eyes of people inside and outside the courtyard and gathering energy and wealth. However, the monster depicted on the mural is not a unicorn, but a monster called 'greed'! ”

"Greedy?" But seeing Li Tianyu who was present, the three of them couldn't help but be surprised in unison after listening to Chen Hailiang's words beside them.

"Yes, that's right, this monster is called 'greed', it is a mythical monster that can swallow gold and silver treasures, because it is more greedy, so people call it 'greedy'. Li Gongzi, please see, there are gold and silver treasures scattered under its feet and around it, but this 'greed' is not satisfied, but opens his blood basin and wants to swallow even the sun in the sky. In the end, instead of swallowing it, it ended up with a tragic end of being crushed and buried in the cliff and the sea. Therefore, the purpose of this mural painting is to warn officials not to be reckless in corrupting the law, otherwise they will end up with the same fate one day. (Note: According to the wall painting, it is actually the first creation of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the name of the monster similar to the unicorn on the above is next to an anti-dog on the left, and a "greedy" one on the right, which is read as "greedy".) However, after all, Ah Liang's cultural level is limited, and it is really difficult to type this word, if there is one who is very interested, you can try to type. ）”

"Oh, there's a story like that. Brother Hailiang, admire, admire, the little brother has been taught. But when Li Tianyu said the end, he didn't forget to look at Chen Youliang beside him with contempt, but Chen Youliang didn't show a trace of embarrassment. It's noisy, these are clearly brothers who grew up together, why is the gap between people so big? Is it because the two have different genes on the X chromosome?

Chen Hailiang saw that after listening to his explanation, the three people present all had a deep understanding, and looked at the wall carefully, and learned that the three sons in front of him did not know anything about the structure and facilities of these yamen, and it seemed that they had been worrying about other places all day long, and they really didn't know whether to praise them or damage them. However, looking at their full of interest, it seems that today it is better to lead them to visit and get to know this yamen!

"Okay, Li Gongzi, Youliang, Xiao Gongzi, since the three of you are coming to our Yangzhou official office for the first time, then I will lead you to visit today."

"Okay, that's very good, then there will be Brother Lao Hailiang."

So at that moment, our Chen Hailiang led the couple to continue to visit the Yangzhou Yamen. Not long after the four of them walked through the wall, they came to a memorial arch similar to a gate, and Li Tianyu felt that the thing in front of him was a bit like the white gate of Tsinghua Park in Tsinghua University in the later generations. Of course, what is written on it is definitely not the three words "Tsinghua Garden", Li Tianyu squinted his eyes and exhausted his brain cells, and after listening to Xiao Zhengtai next to him, he barely recognized that what was written on it should be "loyalty, honesty and filial piety" The four traditional characters.

"Loyalty, honesty and filial piety?!" Xiao Zhengtai on the side read it out slowly after reading it.

"Li Gongzi, Youliang, Xiao Gongzi, this archway is called" Xuanhua Fang", its south is written "loyalty, honesty and filial piety" four words, the north is written is "Xuanhua" two words. Xuanhua Xuanhua, that is, on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, the prefect comes to preach the holy oracle to the people and educate the people, so this is also the origin of the "Xuanhua Fang". ”

"Oh." After listening to Chen Hailiang's preaching, everyone walked behind the Xuanhua Workshop to take a look, but saw that the word "Xuanhua" was indeed written on the north side of the Xuanhua Workshop. This time, Li Tianyu recognized two words at once, perhaps because these two words are no longer traditional characters, but it should be more the reason why Chen Hailiang has said this in advance before.

Finally, our Li Tianyu saw the very familiar façade in front of him, but he saw that in front of him was the gate of the official office, on the east side of the gate stood the shouting drum that he often saw in TV dramas and movies in later generations, and on the west side was a stone tablet with two links.

"Add three to what, and fifty for what. Alas, I've been reading a lot lately, and I can't even recognize these words, Youliang, you can help me recognize it! Li Tianyu walked to the stone tablet but involuntarily read the handwriting on it, and after he reacted, he immediately justified it.

"I said Tianyu, I usually see that you are also blurted out into poetry and talented, why can't you recognize these words now. Come, Xiaohao, you will tell you how to pronounce these words Brother Tian in person. Chen Youliang first asked Li Tianyu with a contemptuous tone, and then said to Xiao Zhengtai beside him in a disdainful tone.

Banana, you are Barra, you kid is embarrassed to say brother, if you kid know, why don't you tell my brother and let Xiaohao say it? It's clear that you kid doesn't know these words!

"False accusation plus three degrees, more than fifty flogging!" But when Xiao Zhengtai was about to say that he couldn't recognize it, our eldest brother Chen Hailiang on the side had already read it out like this.

"Ah yes, that's it, Brother Tian, Brother Liang! I was about to say this. ”

After Li Tianyu and Chen Youliang heard Xiao Zhengtai's words, they couldn't help but shoot two disdainful glances at Xiao Zhengtai in unison.

"Well, it seems that this is used by the people to warn the people when they come to beat the drum and shout injustice, and if they make false accusations, they will be punished by three degrees, and if they go beyond the level of complaint, they will also be whipped fifty times." After Xiao Zhengtai saw Brother Tian and Brother Liang beside him looking at him with strange eyes, he couldn't help but immediately find a way back for himself.

"That's right. Then please follow me and go inside the gate. ”
