Chapter 444: The Palace is Waiting to Be Recruited
Since the emperor is "superhumanly talented", it is understandable to summon a few more women. As a result, the most eye-catching official notice in Youzhou appeared: recruiting show girls to enter the palace.
It is said that this notice was drafted by Fan Jun, a scholar, written by Li Gang, a great teacher, and polished by Li Qingzhao, a great poet, which shows its solemnity.
The reason why it attracts attention is because the selection conditions are extremely broad, as long as it is an adult woman under the age of 50, whether she is married or not, even if the husband's family is still there, as long as the family agrees, it doesn't matter! There is also an even stranger rule, the chosen person does not need to leave the family, and the family can be exempted from all taxes for as long as they want.
The little emperor "does not choose to eat", regardless of age or origin, as long as he meets the requirements, he will not refuse, and this matter has become a hot topic on the streets and alleys for a while.
No one believed this to be true, but just two days later, a long queue formed outside the Emperor's palace, much to everyone's surprise.
With the passage of time, the legend of the little emperor's night palace and the hundred maidens spread, and there were more and more women waiting to be called outside the palace. "Watching the show" has naturally become a major event that the people are tired of.
And on the tenth day, things changed, and the people who were watching the excitement were unwilling. Because they found their own family members in the waiting line.
There is no doubt that the woman who came to answer the call was absolutely voluntary. There is a procedure for registration, first go to the Palace Foreign Affairs Hall to get a piece of black veil, cover your face, and then go outside to line up to register. The black veil was worn on the face the whole time, except for a look at it from the interviewer, so no one would know who they were or what they looked like.
In addition to being separated by a simple wooden fence, the whole process was not guarded by people from the imperial court, so it became a key area for the people to watch.
But once you get to the interviewer, it's different. Not only are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court on duty, but they are also far away from the outside, so they can't see the situation inside clearly.
"Lao Zhang, there are more than twice as many people today as there were yesterday!" In front of the dense crowd, an ugly-looking man said to the short and fat man beside him.
"Lao Zhang, look at the third one in the back, the butt is big enough, and the chest is tall enough, but he is shorter, which suits your taste...... Hey? Lao Zhang, are you uncomfortable? ”
"You ****** shut up for me!" The man scolded with a hideous face, "Lao Tzu just asked someone to buy a girl yesterday, and he ran away before he could clean up people, you can help me see if I'm here!" ”
"Lao Zhang, why are you a pig killer marrying so many wives?"
"Lao Tzu is willing, can you manage it?"
"Huh? Lao Zhang, look at the one with his head bowed in the innermost, doesn't it look like your wife vanilla? ”
When the man heard this, he suddenly became nervous, stood on tiptoe and looked nervously, "Where is it?" ”
"The third in front! Lao Zhang, your wife also ran away? ”
"Less! …… Really! The man's face was bruised, and he slipped under the fence with a cat's waist.
Although this fence is rudimentary and unguarded, everyone knows that it is a cordon that ordinary people cannot cross.
Today, I suddenly saw someone entering, and the chaotic crowd suddenly fell silent.
"Slut! What are you doing here? The Humpty Dumpty ran as fast as he could, and in three or two steps he came to the line of women waiting in line, and stretched out his hand to pull people.
Unexpectedly, the woman reacted quickly, and was stunned for a moment when she found him running over, and then quickly pulled the two women behind her, pushed away the people in front of her, and ran directly into the door. The man's hand didn't even touch their clothes.
"Who are you? Get out! One of the soldiers lifted his foot and kicked Humpty Dumpty backwards, and Humpty Dumpty howled like a pig, "The three people who just went in are my wives, and they smuggled in by themselves, I didn't agree...... ”
Inside this gate is the interview hall, and when you enter this door, you are no longer free, and everything has to be arranged by the official. The soldier glanced back at the three women who rushed in, "Do you know him?" ”
The three women kept their heads down and remained silent.
"You wait here, I'll report to my master." The soldier glared at the fat man who was still lying on the ground and shook the steel knife in his hand, "If you dare to scream again, I will kill you!" ”
The fat man was obedient, immediately shut up, and obediently got up from the ground.
The soldier didn't have much time to go in, and Liang Hongyu, dressed in red, walked out of it.
"What's going on?" Liang Hongyu asked in a deep voice.
The three women fell to their knees with a thud, and cried for the first one, "Madam, that Hu Laosan treats us badly, often beats and scolds without saying anything, and spends all day outside drinking, we ......"
Liang Hongyu turned her head and glanced at Humpty Dumpty standing outside, "Are you Hu Laosan?" ”
The man smiled with him, "If Mrs. Hui speaks, the little one is Hu Laosan." ”
"Is what she said true?" Liang Hongyu asked.
Hu Laosan was stunned, "...... This, a woman, if she doesn't fight for three days, she goes to the house to uncover the tiles, how can she do if she doesn't clean up? ”
The woman kneeling on the ground moved, raised her arm and lifted her sleeves, "Madam, please look, the slave family still has it!" ”
Liang Hongyu frowned, and saw that the snow-white arm was full of scars, and a few places were burns, "He made this?" ”
The woman nodded.
Hu Laosan lowered his head and said nothing, his little eyes turning around.
"What do you want me to do with him?" Liang Hongyu asked in a cold voice.
"A thousand knives can't solve the hatred in my heart!" The woman said through gritted teeth.
Hu Laosan's body trembled, "You poisonous woman......"
Liang Hongyu raised his hand and said, "Grab it!" ”
Two soldiers rushed out of it and twisted their arms to press Hu Laosan to the ground.
"Madame, spare your life! I still have an eighty-year-old lady to serve......" Hu Laosan shouted like a pig again.
"Madam, don't listen to his nonsense, his mother was forced to death by him a long time ago!"
Liang Hongyu's brows furrowed even tighter, "Hu Laosan, is this true?" ”
"Huh? This one...... That ......" Hu Laosan was speechless.
Liang Hongyu waved her hand impatiently, dragged it outside the fence, and cut it!
The two soldiers dragged Hu Laosan out, Hu Laosan was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't shout when his words were stuck in his throat, and his crotch was hot and humid......
With a knife, Hu Laosan turned into a corpse.
Hu Laosan's life and death process, before and after added together, not even a quarter of an hour, the onlookers retreated in shock.
Liang Hongyu stood inside the door and said loudly, "If there is a woman who has been abused, come in directly and report it, and your own official family will be the master for you!" Then he turned and went in.
Counting the women waiting to be called, there were tens of thousands of people outside, but Liang Hongyu's voice spread far away.
After a long time, the crowd was in a commotion, and the scene of chaos and commotion resumed.
"I'll go back too, my mother-in-law has been a little wrong in the past two days!" The person who had spoken to Hu Laosan before turned around and squeezed out.
Since then, there have been a lot fewer people who come to see the show every day, and it is the most important thing to keep an eye on your wife and woman!
But...... If they really want to run, who can watch it?
Outside the fence there was another group, which waited day and night, keeping their eyes fixed on everyone who came here to be called, and immediately came forward to interrogate them if they found something wrong.
However, with Hu Laosan's precedent, no one dares to cross the fence to pull people inside, as long as the women enter the fence and line up, even if they find the wrong person, they can only beat their chests outside and scold.
As a result, the number of applicants began to decrease.
Liang Hongyu is in charge of this matter, as the eldest sister, the emperor's younger brother wants a woman, she must take responsibility for safety, and she can't get some messy or even sick women. At first, she was just in charge of interviews, looking at her appearance and figure, and checking whether she was healthy, but later, this nature changed.
She suddenly found that this was a good opportunity for the majority of female sisters to be "liberated", and when she noticed that the number of people who came to answer the call was decreasing, she immediately realized that they might be restricted from leaving the house, so she changed the centralized registration to a door-to-door service service.
This is a big deal, those who successfully prevent the women in the family from going out can no longer hide, the official family on the grounds of the emperor's order, house to house, face to face to ask the woman's opinion, as long as the consent will immediately be issued "Palace to be called" sign, with this brand, it is equivalent to the sword of Shang Fang, no one can stop it.
Liang Hongyu turned this matter into an extreme event, and Zhao Tianci had another label on his head: fighting with the people for his wife!
"Sister, isn't it good to do this? I...... How can I rob my wife from the common people? Zhao Tianci had heard of these things for a long time, and today he went to Han Shizhong's mansion to discuss things, and saw that Liang Hongyu was about to go out, so he asked by the way.
Liang Hongyu said with a straight face, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about these things, what about women, my sister is responsible for recruiting you, you just need to be good to them." ”
"But......" Zhao Tianci was still a little hesitant, "There is too much folk gossip!" ”
Liang Hongyu chuckled, "Your Majesty, do you still care about folk rumors?" Then his face turned cold and said, "Today I personally went to the rich man's house, there are more than 20 female dependents in their family who are willing to answer the call, this old thing actually said that they all went back to their hometown today, it seems that if he doesn't give him some color, he really doesn't know how many eyes the old lady has!" With that, he left in a huff.
Zhao Tianci looked at Liang Hongyu's back dumbfounded, "Big brother, eldest sister, this is not choosing a woman for me, this is ...... Hold the women up, right?! ”
Han Shizhong laughed, "Your Majesty, who asked you to agree to let her be in charge of this matter?" She is now fascinated, walking the streets and alleys in Youzhou City all day long, and the people call her 'Tian Bustard'! ”
"Sky bustard?" When Zhao Tianci heard this word for the first time, he was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and laughed wildly with Han Shizhong. (To be continued.) )
