Exposing his ability is not unacceptable to Zhou Bei.

When suspicion is already underway, confession is the best approach.

Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and sell it to the emperor's family.

Zhou Bei was deeply influenced by the environment of the Ming Dynasty, and did not have the idea of having no king and no father like people in another world.

Of course, under the influence of the two brothers, he is not as sincere as ordinary Ming people.

He originally had the obsession of relying on his own ability to improve the family class.

Now that he can reach the sky in one step, how could he miss it?

Directly favored by the emperor, no matter how much new technology he comes up with, he is not afraid of being robbed, and the money in exchange can increase the strength of the family, why should he refuse!

What's more, he didn't have a base code, and he didn't say anything about space.

Even so, Li Ji was shocked enough, from his twenties son inherited his father's business, and was directly promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard by His Majesty Gaozu, for the first time in these decades, his worldview has collapsed.

But fortunately, with the previous foreshadowing, he can still maintain his composure.

The two discussed tomorrow's response, and Zhou Bei first gave the holy decree to Li Ji for safekeeping, and then was sent to the prison cell.

Back in the prison room, Hou Guiqiang and Xu Gongcheng had not slept yet, and asked worriedly.

However, Zhou Bei did not directly tell them that now they have a big thigh, and there is no need to worry about safety, only that their father found a relationship with Dali Temple and communicated with them for mediation.

It's not that he doesn't believe Xu Gongcheng, although Xu Gongcheng is a few years older than him, he has been by his side for the past two years, obeying his words and never discounting.

He knew that Zhou Bei's brain was more than him, and his father and brother also agreed that he was messing with Zhou Bei, so he never had two hearts.

As for Hou Guiqiang, although sometimes the bottom line of doing things is not high, he is also very righteous.

The main reason is that even Li Ji didn't dare to let him talk too much, for fear that the emperor would be taboo, and he couldn't pit his two friends.

The two learned that everything was okay and slept peacefully, but Zhou Bei couldn't sleep all night.

He originally suspected that Emperor Gaozu was a traverser, and when he was alive, he didn't dare to expose himself at all.

I never thought that even if he died, he would still leave behind a set of prevention mechanisms to find new traversers.

In order to improve the situation, I just applied for some more patents at one time, and I was noticed.

But now is the best result, the emperor has already paid attention to him, and there is no ill will towards the traverser, and he doesn't need to worry too much.

But now with Xue Wangfu and Tang Wangfu, he will definitely turn his face, and his own family, as well as his grandfather's family, must be settled.

My family is easy to say, there are less than thirty people in total, and it is a big deal to move back to Central-earth.

But the grandfather's family is different, their Liu clan has developed for decades, and now there are almost 300 people, and there are tens of thousands of acres of land in the lake area, and they can't move away at all.

After his case is handled, he has to ask Li Ji to act as an intermediary to protect the Liu family.

The sky is getting brighter, and Zhou Bei, who hasn't slept all night, is still very awake.

This night, he thought a lot, analyzed the problems he might encounter in the future, and made a response plan.

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

Zhou Bei has been thinking about it for a long time and neglecting the present.

This incident, if it weren't for another village, he would definitely have taken a big turn.

When you think about things later, you have to be more comprehensive.

Hou Guiqiang opened his eyes, stretched his waist, looked at Zhou Bei, who was sitting against the wall, and said in surprise: "You haven't slept all night?" ”

"Can't sleep."

He sat up, moved and put his shoes on. "If I can't sleep, 400,000 silver coins, yes, countless people won't be able to earn so much silver in their lifetime."

Zhou Bei smiled and didn't speak, he put on his shoes and went to the toilet in the corner, and then turned around and said: "It's actually not bad to work with you, I also want to go to Zhongzhou to see it, and I also want to go to the island in the sea to see the supreme customs over there." ”

The island in the sea is the trade center between the Ming Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions, the Ming Dynasty is rich in the world, but the countries of the Western Regions are all poor ghosts, they have no resources, they can only sell coolies to the Ming people, and the population trade is the largest trade of the countries of the Western Regions.

There is little interest in the strong men and Ming people, mainly because they like the beauties there, and now a stunning white female slave, if she is a virgin, can be sold for more than two thousand silver coins.

The island in the sea is the Crete island of the Mediterranean Sea in another world, in the island, hundreds of thousands of people are imported into various regions of the Ming Dynasty every year, and it is also the world's largest population trading center.

"There's a chance." Zhou Bei comforted.

He is now just a bastard in Sanhe Prefecture, and it is difficult to be approved if he wants to leave Xuezhou County.

However, after becoming Zhou Bei's entourage, as long as Zhou Bei goes, he can follow him.

Zhou Bei already likes to travel and adventure, and he has been to many places in Dongzhou, but it is still only a few areas.

This world is too big, and it is not like another world, which is very advanced in all aspects of development and has developed transportation.

The infrastructure of the Ming Dynasty is not developed enough, and more importantly, there is strict household registration management.

Everyone who leaves the place of residence needs to apply, and the official document of the state government is required to leave the prefecture, and the official document of the county government is required to leave the county.

There is also a need to pay a travel fee, although it is not high, only one silver coin per person, but most people, will never leave the state capital for the rest of their lives.

Although this is not good for the tourism economy, in Daming, there are almost no human traffickers, because there is no soil for their survival at all, and social stability is maintained.

Strict household registration management is also a major reason for the eradication of human traffickers and social unrest.

Every Ming citizen is required to be born in a hospital, and there is an ID card issued by the hospital with a unique number.

Before the age of six, the local government helps to purchase insurance, and the insurance account information is stored in the database at the same time.

After the age of six, the family buys insurance, and after the age of thirty, there must be a work certificate and tax records.

If a person is 30 years old and still has no work records and tax records, he will be imprisoned and forced to do hard labor.

This information is gradually populated on the ID card, and others cannot fake it.

For travel, such strict management is very inconvenient, but the people of Daming are used to this kind of management and are used to living within the framework.

And most people feel happy, food and clothing, and a life without worrying about illness, for everyone, it is a prosperous era that has not been seen for thousands of years.

Even Confucianism does not regard the cultivators of the ancient well field period as an ideal society.

The kind of life of relying on the sky for food and self-sufficiency, in the final analysis, is just a life of hard work.

After the three of them finished washing up and had a light breakfast, they were taken out by the prison guards and brought to a row of pre-trial rooms in the front yard.

The pre-trial room is a special mediation area of Dali Temple, after the Ming control reform, the prefect of the county, the prefect they do not have the power to try the case.

Only matters related to people's livelihood are the responsibility of the government, and it is not their responsibility to try cases.

The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all have special direct management agencies in the county, government, and county, and they are in charge of all cases except for civil disputes.

The centralized trial of cases requires a large number of office space, and each level of Dali Temple has a variety of pre-trial rooms, as well as a formal trial hall.

And the trial hall will only be activated when the second formal trial is entered, and every time it is started, someone will be sentenced.

Before the time came, Zhou Bei and the three of them were handcuffed together by two handcuffs, strung together, and sat on a row of chairs outside the pre-trial room.

In addition to them, there are two other groups of pre-trial personnel who are also waiting for trial here, and the three parties looked at each other in various ways, and saw that they were not all the way, and they did not have the idea of talking.

At eight o'clock, the door of Dali Temple opened, and immediately a large number of people walked in.

Zhou Bei raised his eyes and saw his haggard mother at a glance, who walked like a fly and walked in the front when she was usually slow.

His nose was sour and his eyes were hazy.

No matter when, even if he is abandoned by the whole world, his mother will never abandon him.

Mentally disturbed at the age of six, seriously ill at the age of fourteen, it was only his mother who waited carefully with her endless love to recover.

Every time she travels, no matter how worried she is, she never stops herself.

Before she could walk up, Zhou Bei couldn't control his emotions and fell to his knees. "The child has seen his mother'......"

His head was hugged into a warm embrace, and he felt his mother's breath, and the tears could no longer be controlled, and they fell.

"My son doesn't have to be sad, my mother knows that you have been wronged......"

She couldn't cry either, but just hugged Zhou Bei's head tightly in her arms.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Gongcheng's voice made Zhou Bei wake up. "Brother, you see that both sides are as deep as the sea, and when you saw me, not only did you not have a deep brotherhood, but you also punched me."

Zhou Bei's left shoulder was injured, his right hand was handcuffed to Xu Gongcheng's left hand, and his right hand was handcuffed to Hou Guiqiang's left hand.

Zhou Bei knelt on the ground, and Hou Guiqiang also knelt on the ground, holding his four-year-old son with his right hand and kowtowing to his mother.

Her mother was a retired female worker with her six-year-old daughter in her arms, and behind her, there was a delicate beauty.

Hou Guiqiang's wife Su Jiao was originally the Oiran of the Qinglou, but he married into the family and raised her in the deep boudoir.

Although he has a bad background, he has little love for this wife, and the two now have a son and a daughter, and there is another one in their stomachs, and they live a very good life.

Both of them knelt on the ground, and Xu Gongcheng was also taken to squat there, and was punched in the shoulder by his brother Xu Gongzhi, and sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Xu Gongzhi smiled at Zhou Bei, punched Hou Guiqiang again, and said with a smile: "Originally, I thought that you would enter Dali Temple because of street fighting, but I never thought that you would be implicated." ”

Hou Guiqiang kowtowed to his mother three times, and his mood recovered a lot, and he smiled back: "It's good to come in and have a look, and I will be more cautious in the future." ”

Zhou Bei was wiped away from his tears by his mother, and was helped up by her, his eyes swept over his mother's shoulder, and he saw the delicate figure behind her. "Brother Heng, you ...... Are you okay? ”
