PS: I went out to sing in the afternoon, and the director came back late. But I found that the faster the Internet is, the slower it is, and it takes half an hour to pass a chapter of 3,000 words. Oh my God, are you kidding me? Don't say much, hurry up and finish a chapter and present it, I hope you haven't had time to scold me and sweat profusely

Zhou Xiaocao felt strange: "Isn't this someone at home, why does she say that there is no one?" ”

Zheng Zheng replied: "Are women also considered people? The man in his family is not there, and there is no son at home, of course, no one is at home, and he is not wrong. ”

When Zhou Xiaocao heard him say this, he gained a lot of knowledge. It turns out that in the feudal era, women were not considered human. It is said that in Su Dabeard's house, there are more than a dozen domestic prostitutes. The so-called domestic prostitutes, in fact, are still prostitutes, but they are just kept at home. Su Dabeard fell in love with a Qinglou official and liked it for several years. This woman also fell in love with Su Dongpo's talent, so the two secretly communicated with each other, and the woman swore that Su Dongpo would not marry. But Su Dabeard is an honest official, and there are a large number of wives and concubines and prostitutes at home, even if the Song Dynasty is the highest paid dynasty for civil servants in China for thousands of years (according to legend, Bao Zheng's annual salary exceeds two million), but also a small life. Later, Su Dongpo finally scraped together enough money to redeem her. Unexpectedly, not long after marrying into the Su family, Su Dongpo sold her after changing hands. The woman was so sad that she committed suicide by hanging herself.

It's also that Zhou Xiaocao doesn't know how to learn, and he doesn't know that the status of women at this time is extremely low, and she basically has no human rights. For example, if the husband often beats and scolds his wife, the wife can't bear it anymore and reports it to the government. So, first of all, the county magistrate won't say a word, and will first put the woman on dozens of boards, and then he will take your form. Why? Because in ancient times, the husband was the wife's heaven, and if you dare to sue your husband, wouldn't it be a mess of ethics, and if you don't kill you, it will be light. Therefore, those girls who dream of traveling back to ancient times and getting ten or eight princes or talented people have to weigh it.

Zhou Xiaocao asked loudly, "Do you know where he went?" ”

The woman said, "I said that you are really unreasonable, if a man wants to go out, will he tell us where to go?" I don't know! ”

"This"

Zhou Xiaocao looked at Zheng Zheng, who also had a bitter face, and said helplessly: "Let's change it." ”

The two of them returned to Cangzhou City, because the other one was also ten miles south of Cangzhou, and the two decided to go back to Cangzhou City for a meal first. When eating, Zhou Xiaocao also had no appetite, and he was still thinking about helping Xie Bingzhou with this great favor, so that he could help him be accommodating in the capital.

In fact, Zhou Xiaocao didn't want to go over to find the little prince, but if he could let a big official like Xie Bingzhou find someone in the capital, it would be one more way. Moreover, in such a big case of rebellion, the little prince is afraid that it is not easy to interfere, so he can only solve it from the inside first, and investigate clearly, what is going on, why he suddenly found trouble with the Feng family. Also, why did you just let Zhou Xiaocao go? It's all a mystery.

If you want to solve this mystery, you have to take it step by step. This kind of thing can't be rushed, but you can't help it. Even in modern times, the crime of betraying the country is very serious, let alone in the feudal era. If you want to overturn the case, it is almost impossible. So, there's no hurry. However, if something is wrong with the emperor and he orders a decisive decision, it will be too late, so he must be in a hurry.

But right now, Xie Bingzhou has already lost his square inch due to the loss of the tax money in the treasury, and Zhou Xiaocao must help him with this first. It's really, it's messy, it's all messed up.

After casually eating a bowl of ravioli, the two of them continued on their way again. Although Zhou Xiaocao didn't know how to ride a horse, he didn't want to measure the ground with his feet anymore, so he hired a carriage to take the two to the south of the city. Speaking of wontons, how many friends don't know the exact pronunciation of these two words? The correct pronunciation of these two words should be - hun-tun.

The two of them bumped all the way and finally came to the place. But when I arrived at the place, I realized that the whole family had gone to a distant relative's house, and I was afraid that they would not be able to come back for ten days and a half months. Can Zhou Xiaocao wait for ten days and a half months? No!

Walk! Keep looking for the next one!

When it got dark, the two returned to Cangzhou exhausted, but the city gate was closed early, and the two of them had no choice but to go back dejectedly, hoping to find a nearby village and find a farmer to make up for the night.

Just when the two of them turned around and just walked a few dozen meters, they suddenly heard someone chasing after them. When they heard the footsteps, they both turned their heads to look back.

Behind him came a lewd-looking man, dressed in a very funny outfit, and wearing a patched torn hat. When the man came closer, he first made a circle and said, "You two, did you miss the time to enter the city?" ”

Zheng Zheng is a person from the government, where can he afford this kind of guy who looks like a gangster at first glance? So he said angrily: "Yes! Didn't you miss it too? Hmph, what's the big deal. ”

The man didn't pay any attention to Zheng Zheng's attitude. Today, the two of them went out to run errands, and Zheng Zheng didn't wear the official clothes in the yamen, he just looked like an ordinary person who was a little dragged.

"You can't enter the city, but I'm the opposite, I've just come out of it."

Zhou Xiaocao said with a smile: "Don't brag nonsense, this city gate is closed early, how can you get out?" I'm afraid you also missed the time and can't get in, right? ”

The man laughed and said, "It seems that the two of you can't trust me." So let me give my name, and you should know that I am not talking nonsense. ”

Zheng Zheng snorted coldly from his nose and said, "What, are you famous?" Speak it up and listen to it! ”

The man said: "Not to mention that it is very famous, but there are very few people who live in this Cangzhou city, from the officials and uncles in the yamen to the peddlers and pawns, who have not heard of my wild cat name." ”

Zhou Xiaocao really hadn't heard of the name of this wild cat, but Zheng Zheng was taken aback when he heard the three words of the wild cat: "What? Are you a wildcat? ”

The wild cat smiled and said, "Hehe, the contemptible person is the wild cat!" Since this master has heard of my name, he should know that my wild cat still has some means in this Cangzhou City. If nothing else, let's just say that it is not difficult to bring the two of you into this Cangzhou City. ”

Of course, Zhou Xiaocao wanted to enter the city immediately, and he didn't want to stay in a farmer's house outside for one night. Although the Feng Mansion (later renamed the Zhou Mansion) had been sealed, Xie Bingzhou arranged a house for him to live in the inner government for the convenience of Zhou Xiaocao's investigation. No matter how bad it is, the house in the yamen is much better than the earthen kang board bed in the farmer's house.

Speaking of which, it's really depressing today, why is everyone going far away? Is there some conspiracy in this, or is someone deliberate? Is it really like Zheng Zheng said, these people are criminals? But it doesn't make sense, all five of them have avoided it! After thinking about it, Zhou Xiaocao was still inclined to such a consideration. That is, what means did the guy who really stole the official silver use to make these five people escape collectively.

Who could this person be?

Zheng Zheng didn't know that Zhou Xiaocao was still thinking about the case in his heart now. But when he heard that the wildcat was so sure, he asked, "Oh? Do you have a way to get us into town at once? ”

The wild cat immediately slapped his chest loudly: "Look at what you said! Since you've heard of my wild cat's name, you should know that what I say counts! In this Cangzhou city, no one knows that my wild cat has always been a good talker! ”

Zheng Zheng said: "Okay, please take us into the city." ”

But the wild cat did not move, but kept his head down and did not speak.

Zheng Zheng snorted and said, "How much do you want?" ”

Wildcat said: "Not much, twenty big bucks per person!" ”

Zheng Zheng said: "So many?! ”

Wildcat said: "I said this master, I have a unique business, this is the only one!" If you don't go into the city, you will spend the night outside the city. ”

Zheng Zheng was helpless and said, "Okay, deal!" ”

The wild cat stretched out his hand: "Pay the money first!" ”
