"My lord, the villain knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to accept the punishment." The young man raised his face and looked like a bold young man.

Xue Yuanxian's face darkened, "Violating the management system of the capital, each person will receive twenty boards." Xue Yuansheng threw the token.

Guozhang kowtowed, "Adult, the villain's daughter is really a mother." The messenger stepped forward, grabbed the two of them, dragged them to the execution bench, and beat them with a fat ping-pong beating.

Xue Yuanxiang brushed his sleeves and left. I went back to my study and wrote a notebook, and I took a nap in my chair. The morning light is slightly dewed, and he took his entourage to the palace to meet the emperor.

Tang Wuzong summoned his ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace. Xue Yuansheng handed over the fold, and Wu Zong opened it and took a look, ha, it turned out to be someone outside the palace and a relative of the royal Pan.

The family matter will be talked about later, and Wu Zong will suppress it. His current focus is on the town of Fan, and he estimates that Zhou Yu should also go to Zhaoyi Town.

The Zhaoyi Jiedu Mansion is located in Luzhou. Zhou Yu led his entourage all the way to the dust, and arrived in Luzhou five days later.

Zhou Yu and his entourage found an inn to settle down. The guy called hot water and put it in the house, "Guest officer, where are the two of you?" The guy asked.

"Youzhou people." Zhou Yu replied.

The guy smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's not from the capital, if it's from the capital, the government will invite you to have tea." ”

Zhou Yu also smiled; "In this way, the people in the capital have a lot of face, and the government personally invited them. What kind of treatment do we have from Youzhou? ”

The attendant took out twenty cents and gave it to the man, who put the money in his arms and pressed it with his hand. turned around and closed the door, and then stuck to the door to listen to the movement, and then approached Zhou Yu.

"Two days ago, a county official died, and his family ran to the street to shout that they were wronged, saying that an assassin had assassinated him and wanted to sue the royal court."

"Go to the capital to sue the emperor, where did the family go?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Childe, do you want to, can you let them go? There hasn't been any movement for the past two days, and it's not once or twice like this. It's not safe to be an official. ”

"There's no movement, that's settled." Zhou Yu asked again.

"I guess it's solved." The guy raised his hand and wiped it around his neck. The guy got twenty cents and left happily.

Zhou Yu and his entourage washed up, changed into civilian clothes, and went downstairs to eat. A bowl of sour noodles for a family, Luzhou people like pasta, especially the sour taste.

The big bowl and basin were like a bowl, a bowl of noodles was full, and a bowl of steaming noodles, and the two of them were sweating. Despite the fatigue of the journey, the two wandered around the street.

Jujube trees and walnut trees are planted on both sides of the street, and the tiny jujube flowers bloom all over the branches, and the faint aroma wafts in the wind. The two went to the bazaar in the center of the city.

The gap between the bazaar here and the west and east markets of Chang'an City is not one or two grades. The scale of the bazaar is not small, but half of it is bartered for burdens.

Zhou Yu lingered in front of various stalls, and even the stalls selling straw shoes and hemp shoes he patronized.

"Childe, buy shoes?" The uncle, who was flexibly weaving straw sandals with both hands, glanced up at him, and continued his work.

The grass core was in his hand, quickly knotted and twisted into a rope, and the jagged edges of the grass core could no longer hurt his calloused hands.

Zhou Yu squatted down, took the grass core, and rubbed it seemingly randomly, and the grass core obediently twisted and tied together.

The uncle nodded approvingly, "As soon as the expert makes a move, he will know if there is one." I didn't expect Childe to weave straw sandals. ”

Zhou Yu smiled, "I also grew up wearing straw sandals, and I can also weave straw sandals." How much is a pair of shoes? ”

"Ten cents a pair." Uncle replied.

Zhou Yu and his entourage left. The uncle looked at Zhou Yu's back, hey, the young man who grew up in straw sandals is now dressed in silk and satin.

I still have to be greedy for some black straw sandals, save money to send my youngest son to school, and if I get a show or something in the future, I can't always weave straw shoes from my ancestors. The book has its own golden house.

The two went to the blacksmith's shop. The furnace was blazing, and two shirtless men clanged to forge pig iron. The sledgehammer slammed down, and red-hot iron sparks splattered in all directions.

"Two guest officers, what do you need?" The master shouted at the top of his voice.

"Fight two good swords." Zhou Yuliang replied with a loud voice.

"Guest officer, don't be in a hurry to wait for two days." The work of the big man is non-stop, striking while the iron is hot, and the heat cannot be bad.

"Master, I'm in a hurry. The world is not peaceful, and you need to take advantage of your weapons to defend yourself. ”

"I don't tell the guest official that the master was requisitioned by the government as an errand boy. The technical requirements of the two of us can be completed, and if it is according to what the guest officer said, it is estimated that the two of us will not meet the requirements. "Dahan told the truth.

"What does the government do when it requisitions the blacksmith master?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Weaponry."

The big man is not shouting at the top of his voice. Zhou Yu leaned in front of him and heard clearly.

"The guest officer is in a hurry to use it, and there is no way, and this is also the case with other shops. division

Both fathers were requisitioned as errands. ”

"It seems that the government is in a hurry to use it more than we are. The people don't fight with the officials, so we have to wait. Zhou Yu joked.

"The guest officer is a person who understands."

Zhou Yu and his entourage took their leave. Obviously, Liu Congji's dissident ambitions are not groundless. The two made their way to the street.

The streets are full of carts and horses transporting earth, stone and timber. The two followed behind the chariot and horse, all the way to the city wall.

The scene here is spectacular, with thousands of laborers dressed in short brown erecting ladders to carry earth and stones to the city walls. There were masons on the walls of the walls.

The labor was dusty and ragged. There are patrol soldiers patrolling. When you see someone who is slow, you will be reprimanded at least and flogged at worst.

A few cauldrons under the city wall were steaming hot, and someone knocked on the edge of the pot and shouted, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." ”

People rushed over to grab a pile of jobs at the base of the wall. Each person was given two pieces of bread.

Zhou Yu was far away, and he couldn't see what was in the bowl? At least Liu Congzhi can make the laborers fed.

Strengthen the city and build weapons, as an envoy of the imperial court, he verified with his own eyes that this is indeed the case.

Zhou Yu and his entourage returned to the inn, and it was already the time to hold the lamp. The guy greeted him with gratitude.

"Prepare food for us on the road." Zhou Yu gave the guy two taels of silver.

"Guest, what do you like to eat?" The guy asked for his opinion.

"It's easy to carry on the road."

Zhou Yu went straight back to the guest room, repaired a book, and sealed it.

"You went out of the city overnight and presented the letter to the prime minister."

"Subordinates obey."

The attendant put the letter close to him, and without further ado, he pushed the door and was about to leave.

"Wait a while for the store to buy the food, and you can take it with you on the road."

The two things they saw alone were enough to attract the attention of the imperial court. The imperial court had to prepare in advance.

Since Liu Congji did have a plan, it was impossible to predict what would happen to him when he met Liu Congji. Zhou Yu asked his entourage to go back first, in fact, he had already prepared for the worst. The entourage left the city overnight and rushed to the capital.

Zhou Yu took a simple bite in the guest room, took a hot bath, and slept comfortably. As soon as the day dawned, he got up to wash, changed into court clothes, and went downstairs.

The fellow looked at him in amazement; "Guest." Busy changed his words and said, "My lord, morning." ”

This extraordinary-looking son is an official. It's just that yesterday I had to prepare food for the road, and today I'm still here, and there is no sign of going far. The guy wondered, and went about his work.
