"What's the matter?"

"I heard that the imperial court recently issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world, and even the sinners in that disaster sixteen years ago have been pardoned, but is there such a thing?"

Li Zheng was visibly stunned for a moment, a gleam flashed through his eyes, and then he smiled again. "Little trick, I don't know very well, you might as well go to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a look, if there is such an edict, there must be an announcement at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Thank you, uncle." Liang Xiao saluted again and turned to leave.

After leaving Shili, Liang Xiao did not go to the side to inquire about Huan Sheng's news. He dragged the oxen through the streets and alleys, galloping all the way to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is in the old city, located on the highest Shugang in Guangling. Originally, the prime minister was under the dual leadership of the imperial court and the kingdom, and his status was still under the king, but after the Wu Chu Rebellion, the royal power was suppressed and deprived of the right to govern the people, and the prime minister became the most powerful official in the kingdom, and the prime minister's mansion became the most feared place in the minds of the subjects of the kingdom.

Even naughty teenagers like Liang Xiao and Tu Niu'er dare to go wild in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you annoy the prime minister, you may be killed on the spot. Therefore, as soon as he saw the halberd guards and dependents in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only Liang Xiao slowed down, but even Tu Niu'er became a little restrained.

"What for?" Seeing Liang Xiao and the others approaching, the two halberd guards greeted them, and the cold and shining halberd pointed directly at the hearts of Liang Xiao and the others.

"Look at the announcement." Liang Xiao hurriedly stopped and stretched out his finger to point to the place where the announcement was posted.

The guard glanced at them disdainfully, and the halberd in his hand did not put it down, but stuck closer. "Look at the announcement? Do you know how to read? ”

"You don't look down on people." Tu Niu'er blushed and said loudly, "We ......" He thought for a moment and pointed his finger at Liang Xiao again. "Ah Xiao has also read books and knows words."

"Really?" The guard couldn't help but laugh and wrote a word on the ground with a halberd. "Sue sù what is this word, recognize it, let you go to the announcement. I can't recognize it, how far it goes, how far it goes, go wild elsewhere, but don't look for trouble here. ”

Tu Niu'er looked at Liang Xiao with a look of hope. When it comes to fighting, he is not afraid of anyone, and rushes forward in front. But when it comes to literacy, he is blinded and can't even write his own name.

He can't be blamed for that. In this era when books were still copied, the literacy rate was outrageously low, and education was only the right of a very small number of people, and ordinary people could live a lifetime without the opportunity to write. Official education has not yet developed, and there is not even a shadow of the village school in later generations, and the amount of education that can be accessed depends on the conditions of each person's family.

Liang Xiao knows words because his mother Liang Yuan is literate and seems to know a lot. However, Liang Xiao was similar to Tu Niu'er in the past, and he was not a person who liked to read, and he was beaten by his mother for reading and literacy. If he had changed to Liang Xiao before, he would definitely not know this word.

Fortunately, he has a soul from the 21st century, and there is still some ink in his stomach, and in order to study the knowledge of the Han Dynasty, he did not read less Han Jian. Even if this guard writes in traditional Chinese characters, and it is a variant character, it can't stop him.

He was just about to tell the sù guard for an answer, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and a young man in brocade clothes walked over on a snow-white high-headed horse surrounded by more than ten riders, and when he saw Liang Xiao from afar, he couldn't help but sigh: "Why aren't you dead yet?" ”

Liang Xiao looked up and saw that this person was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face was good, but he had put on too much powder, like a hanged ghost, and deliberately raised his eyebrows, looking high and low on one side, obviously wearing brocade clothes, but revealing an indescribable ruffian.

The halberd guard hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "I've seen Hu Jun." ”

Tuniu'er had a gloomy face, squinted her eyes, and stared at the young man, looking ready to pounce and fight at any time. Liang Xiao understood at a glance that this young Hu Jun should be Hu Lai who knocked "him" stuffy stick.

I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, how did I meet this mourning star. Liang Xiao secretly regretted it, but he couldn't show the slightest flaw on his face.

"Actually, I'm dead." Liang Xiao rolled his eyes with great difficulty, his knees did not move, he jumped towards Hu Lai one by one, and said in a gloomy tone: "I came back to you on purpose." ”

Hu Lai originally looked angry, but when he saw Liang Xiao's appearance of only seeing the whites of his eyes, not seeing the pupils, and walking without bending his legs, he couldn't help but shudder.

Liang Xiao smiled in a hoarse voice again: "Hehe, you are here too, I am waiting for you so hard, the water here is so cold." ”

His appearance was already a little scary, and speaking in such an eerie tone at this moment made him feel like he was seeing a ghost in the day. Although Hu Lai was stubborn, after all, he was a teenager, and he had done something wrong, and his heart was weak, and when he saw Liang Xiao like this at this moment, he suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, reined in his horse, and took a step back.

With the surprise of Hu Lai and the others, Liang Xiao quietly tore off a piece of his clothes, quickly pinched it into a ball, and stuffed it into the nose and eye of Hu Lai's mount. The white horse's nose was plugged, very uncomfortable, and he shook his head again and again, trying to shake off the cloth, but he couldn't succeed, and became more and more anxious, shaking his head and tail constantly, snorting frequently, and turning back and forth.

Hu Lai was frightened, and pulled the reins of the horse hard, trying to control the white horse, but it backfired, the tighter the reins, the more anxious the white horse became, and the more anxious he turned, Hu Lai tried his best, but he couldn't sit in the saddle, so he could only lie down, holding the horse's neck with both hands, and screaming.

Liang Xiao looked around, and saw that people's eyes fell on Hu Lai, and no one paid attention to him, so he secretly took out a crossbow arrow, held it upside down in his hand, hid most of the arrow shaft in his sleeve, and only exposed the arrow, and when the white horse turned around and turned his back to himself, he looked at the white horse's anus and stabbed it hard. The white horse was in pain, neighed, spread its hooves, and galloped away.

"Help! Help me! Hu Lai was so frightened that he screamed repeatedly, holding the horse's neck and not daring to let go. His entourage didn't dare to slack off, caring if it wasn't Liang Xiao, they hurriedly chased after him, and disappeared without a trace in a moment.

"It's a pity that a good horse meets a knight with such inferior riding skills, and it's fate." Liang Xiao sighed with emotion, and looked at the stunned halberd guard with a smile. "What do you pronounce this word, Hu Jun has already performed for you, now I can go to see the announcement, right?"

The halberd guard looked at Liang Xiao, forced a smile, lowered the halberd, and nodded: "Go, leave quickly after reading, don't make trouble." ”

Liang Xiao understood that Hu Lai's horse was shocked, Hu Lai was likely to be injured, and the people of the Hu family could come back to him at any time to find trouble. The longer he stays here, the more dangerous it becomes. He took a big stride and ran to the announcement, quickly browsing through several announcements, old and new.

Soon, Liang Xiao found the latest announcement: pardon Wu Chu and the Seven Kingdoms who lost to the officials.

Liang Xiao smiled secretly in his heart, sure enough.
