After Qin Ruse and Gongsun Jin left the inn, they went to the yamen of Linyang County. The two of them found a conspicuous place at the door and sat on the floor.

"The princess is suspected of being a foreign enemy in Linyang County?"

Qin Ruse rubbed her old cold legs like an old man and said, "Isn't it, old man." Let me tell you, this Wang Mang has been inactive for a long time, but recently there have been people missing in Linyang City, but this matter has not been reported, don't you think it's strange? ”

"And how did you know for sure?"

"I'm not sure, but how are things? Try it and you'll find out. ”

The two of them pretended to be beggars and sat at the gate of the yamen for a few hours, and when the weather became colder and colder, someone finally came out of the yamen. After inquiry, it was determined that the two were childless and daughterless, so he invited them to sit in the yamen and have a hot meal.

"I said old woman, this Linyang County Cheng is really a good parent."

"Not really, old man." The two sang and followed the official and walked inside.

As soon as he entered the door, King Mang of Linyang County walked out of the backyard with a concubine in his arms.

"Here are two more old immortals." Wang Mang looked at the two rickety old men in front of him in disgust

"How do you speak?" Qin Ruse asked in a trembling voice.

"If it weren't for the fact that you were still worth a few dollars, Lao Tzu wouldn't want to deal with you. Take it down, and let's go. ”

"Yes!" After the official finished speaking, he was not as kind as he was just now, and pushed Qin Ruse and Gongsun Jin towards the prison.

"I said, where is the official taking us?"

The man also took off his disguise and scolded: "What so much nonsense, just leave quickly." ”

Qin Ruse and Gongsun Jin were pushed into a big prison, and then the official left the two buns on the ground: "Eat." ”

"You!"

Qin Ruse saw that Gongsun Jin was about to explode, so he hurriedly picked up the buns on the ground and stuffed one into Gongsun Jin's hand: "Eat quickly, old man." Lives matter! ”

Gongsun Jin couldn't bear to let his princess suffer such grievances, but in view of Qin Ruse's consideration of the overall situation, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and take the buns.

The previous official looked at the two people with disdain and said, "This old woman still knows some current affairs, if you make trouble for me, I don't know how to die." With that, the official slammed the door and left.

Gongsun Jin took a bite of the bun, frowned, and pressed Qin Ruse's hand: "Drugged." ”

Qin Ruse gently patted Gongsun Jin's hand and whispered: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." ”

When the two woke up again, it was in a carriage. On the cramped carriage sat more than a dozen old men like them. Qin Ruse woke up Gongsun Jin and said, "Old man, where is this?" ”

"This is on the way to Nanyue." The old man next to him said.

"Nanyue? How did we end up here? ”

"You were also deceived by Wang Mang. Hey, I heard that we were going to be sent to Nanyue to wait for death in a cave. The old man with a furrow on his face said helplessly.

Also? It seems that this is how everyone here came. Is Wang Mang really in touch with foreign enemies?

"What does he want us bad old men to do?" Gongsun Jin asked.

"What else can you do? Go to work. The young man who was caught digging the rocks in the mountains, and the old man and the old lady were pulled to do some simple work. ”

"No, no, no." Another retorted, "I've heard that we're going to be burned alive in the sword furnace. They said that if Nanyue wanted to forge an evil sword, it would take a thousand and one lives to be sacrificed. ”

"Won't it?" This person's words obviously frightened the other old men, and everyone couldn't help but have a look of fear on their faces.
