Chapter 64: The History of Liudian
When Liu Ming returned home, he told his family the news. Up and down the house, everyone rejoiced. Especially Xie Yuying, who made several snacks one after another and brought them to Liu Ming.
"Ming'er, how about you taste this taro round red bean paste?" Xie Yuying asked with concern, "And this rock sugar bird's nest, I made it all in the kitchen." If it doesn't taste good, I'll make it again. ”
"Auntie, you're too polite." Liu Ming said with a smile.
"What is this?" Xie Yuying shook her head and said, "You helped your Uncle Yong find a good position." We thank you too late? ”
Xie Yuying was able to give up the extravagant life in Bianjing and go to Qingzhou to find Liu Yong, and she was also a strange woman who was loyal to her feelings. Although she doesn't love money, she is also worried that her husband will become more and more depressed when she is idle at home all day. As a woman, who doesn't want their man to get ahead?
"You take a bite, take a bite." Xie Yuying moved the snack in front of Liu Ming again.
Liu Ming was so enthusiastic that he had to scoop a spoonful of red bean paste into his mouth.
"How's it taste?" Xie Yuying's pretty face was full of consultation and eagerness.
"Very good, Auntie." Liu Ming nodded, "It's very sweet and glutinous." ”
"I'm relieved." Xie Yuying breathed a sigh of relief, she actually made more than a dozen bowls of these dim sums, picked two bowls with the best taste, and gave them to Liu Ming.
"What are you eating to avoid me?" Liu Yong walked in, his hair was in a messy bun, his hair was fluffy, and he looked like he had just woken up.
"Yo, red bean paste, my favorite! Thank you, lady! When Liu Yong saw the red bean paste, he immediately made a hungry tiger pounce, took the bowl, and was about to put his mouth down.
"You put it down for me!" Xie Yuying slapped the spoon off Liu Yong's hand, and she said angrily: "This is what I made for Ming'er." ”
"Ming'er's, it's mine, right?" Liu Yong scratched Liu Ming's nose and said with a grin.
"Yes." Liu Ming likes to mess with his uncle the most, "Uncle Yong, I just dripped saliva into it, don't you dislike it?" ”
"It's okay, it's all a family, prolong life." Liu Yong didn't care, he reached out and grabbed Liu Ming's head and slammed it into his arms, "Good boy, it's really filial, give your uncle a position in history." ”
Liu Yong's center of gravity was lost, lying in Liu Yong's arms, unable to move, so he had to lean on Liu Yong's chest and murmured: "Uncle, you are jealous and hateful, and you must be suitable for the position of pawn history." ”
"Yes, good. Uncle fed you a mouthful of red bean paste and opened his mouth ......"
Even if Xie Yuying had been in Qinglou and was red, she could be regarded as having seen the world, but when she saw Liu Yong's uncle and nephew feeding bean paste in her arms, she couldn't stand it, she couldn't cry or laugh, closed the door and went out, and let the two continue to toss.
A few days later, in the early morning, Liu Yong, who was wearing a soapy uniform, appeared in the county office in high spirits, looked at a group of errands, and said loudly: "Remember what I told you? The slogan we practice every morning is ......"
"Why don't you take a hook with you!"
Twenty-three officers shouted loudly.
Liu Yong pinned his hopes on fame all his life, but he had nowhere to display his ambitions, so he wrote songs and lyrics in the Qinglou. After becoming a classic, the whole person is naturally refreshed. Every day, the fifth watch got up, put on the official uniform of the canonical history, and was the first to report to the county office. It's a pain in the hands of the servants. The fifth watch of the new Dianshi is here, and he doesn't dare to snooze, so he has to get up early with red eyes to accompany him.
Liu Yong, as a classic history, is in a state of high excitement. During the day, he reads official documents in the palace, and at night he patrols the streets with his servants. For a time, the security of Fei County became extremely good. Because, everyone has heard a rumor, as long as you let the master of the history catch, whether you are stealing chickens or doing something else. The history of the canon always screams, shouts a poem, and then draws a knife and slashes at you.
Since Lord Dian Shi is so crazy, those who commit adultery and criminals can't help but be afraid, and the security in the county is surprisingly good.
Wang Su also stayed in Fei County to preside over the endgame these days. He and Liu Yong also had a good conversation. This generation of scholars and doctors like to dance and write. After a few pots of wine, Wang Su also became poetic, and happened to sing with Liu Yong.
Gradually, Liu Ming found that the other shopkeepers, who were also big households in the county, began to be deferential to himself. At first, he didn't care, but when he saw everyone's appearance, he understood. Uncle Liu Yong was an official in the county, and his father was in the medicinal herb business, and the Liu family suddenly became the leading family in the county with this stable structure of officials and businessmen.
I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope the sea is flat.
Liu Ming believes that the life of the family will get better and better......
……
The gloomy county prison has no sunlight in sight, and the air is filled with the smell of filth and dampness.
Yang Liwu, who was dressed in prison uniform, wore a wooden flail on his head, and slowly walked to the depths of the prison.
Several jailers, huddled together in twos and threes, looked at him with strange smiles. This classic history has always been the boss in prison, but now, he has been arrested and imprisoned, which can be described as the separation of heaven and earth.
"Yang Tou'er, I'm sorry, this is no wine and no meat." One of the jailers laughed.
Most of these jailers brought by Yang Liwu are some city fox club rats, green-skinned ruffians, and they have no love and morality to talk about. Now, Yang Liwu has lost momentum, and they are naturally like grass on the wall, turning around.
All the jailers knew that Yang Liwu had committed a capital crime, and there was no chance that he would get out of the cell alive. Therefore, no one thought of showing mercy to Yang Liwu again.
And the prisoners on death row all looked at the dismissed historian with gloating eyes. There are also many people clamoring to be assigned to a cell with Yang Liwu, ready to "entertain" him.
In the face of the coaxing of the entire cell, Yang Liwu sat indifferently in the prison, not saying a word, ignoring the noisy prisoners.
"Master Dianshi has arrived!" Someone in the cell shouted.
Then, I saw Liu Yong, who was dressed in official clothes, walking in quickly.
"Master Dianshi, ...... you drink tea?"
"You may be seated ......"
Those jailers are all currying favor in disguise.
Liu Yong knew the identities of these jailers and didn't bother to talk to them more. It stands to reason that these city fox society rats should all be dismissed. However, at present, Fei County is purging officials, and if it really overturns a boatload of people with one rod, there will be no one to work.
"You lead the way in front and take me to see Yang Liwu."
Liu Yong said quickly.
The other jailers, when they saw Liu Yong, a cold-faced historian, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led the way.
"Your Excellency...... This cell is. The jailer flatteringly brought a chair.
Liu Yong lifted his robe and sat down, looked at Yang Liwu, and said bluntly: "Yang Liwu, you have committed a serious crime, it is best to recruit them one by one, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin." The station cage, the water prison, I haven't let anyone use it yet. In order to give you a chance. Lord Zhizhou has ordered, you must be asked to spit out the facts, you are invited quickly, what is the use of stealing ordnance? ”
Liu Yong is a scholar after all, although he is a canonical history, he is also a little hesitant about these cruel punishments. He said bluntly: "Yang Liwu, if you can confess from the truth, I will give you a happy whole corpse." ”
Yang Liwu sat on the ground covered with dry grass, his face was bloodstained and looked slightly hideous. He responded, "My lord, please give me a glass of wine to taste." ”
"That's ...... you? Still want to drink? The jailer next to him interjected first.
"Give him a drink." Liu Ming waved his hand.
The jailer had to bring a glass of wine and pass it through the crack in the iron bar.
Yang Liwu took the wine glass and drank it all, the wine flowed through his stubble and dripped to the ground.
"Happy, thank you!" Yang Liwu nodded.
Liu Yong originally thought that this Yang Liwu was arrested and imprisoned, and if he didn't have a mental breakdown, he would kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but he didn't expect that the other party was quite calm.
This Yang Liwu's life experience is really a mystery.
He thought about Wang Su's instructions, and said bluntly: "Yang Liwu, tomorrow morning, Lord Zhizhou will come to interrogate you." This night, you think about it. ”
Before getting up and leaving the prison, Liu Yong thought about it again and instructed the jailer: "The prisoner's three meals a day should be provided normally. If I find out, I will wait for the communiqué to have a personal vendetta and make things difficult for the prisoners, and this official will punish him severely! ”
"How can you?" The jailers agreed.
Liu Yong returned to the county government and reported the matter to Wang Su, and the two decided to retry Yang Liwu the next day.
However, as the night passed, an unexpected news happened.
The next day, just after dawn, two jailers rushed to the county hall in a panic and shouted, "My lord, no...... Oh no......"
At this time, Wang Su was about to interrogate Yang Liwu, and hurriedly asked, "What's the alarm?" ”
"My lord, that Yang Liwu, last night...... Last night......" the jailer was shocked, "biting ...... Biting his tongue and killing himself......"
"Bite your tongue and kill yourself?" Wang Su's face was gloomy, and his fingers kept tapping on the desk. After half a sound, he let out a long sigh: "As soon as Yang Liwu died, this clue was interrupted......"
