Following.

Today is not a lecture day, Jiang Xinghuo naturally got up late.

Anyway, he wasn't hungry in the morning, and he slept until noon and woke up naturally before eating lunch.

Or else? Do you want to roll in the edict prison? Which leader is the volume for? Is Jinyiwei commanding Ji Gang?

Commander Ji will not give you a "three-good prisoner" and "excellent prisoner", so why bother.

Jiang Xinghuo always believes that the highest state of life lies in not engaging in labor for the sake of engaging in labor, which must be what he loves and ideal.

If you don't have or can't do this kind of ideal labor that Jiang Xinghuo loves for the time being, such as teaching and educating people, such as transforming the world, then it is okay to empty yourself and let yourself cultivate your spirit.

Anyway, just from Jiang Xinghuo's personal point of view, he doesn't think that he must force himself to do something he doesn't want to do, such as getting up early to torture himself, such as insisting on some meaningless punch-ins, so that people will feel the meaning of self-discipline.

Thinking further, that is, "a person's destiny depends not only on personal struggle, but also on the course of history."

Sometimes, the fruits of personal struggle are just a grain of sand that has been submerged before the waves of history or the tide of the times.

Hundreds of millions of peasants in the "I Daqing" are in the process of involution, getting up early every day, greedy for darkness, intensively cultivating, and the chickens wake up before anyone wakes up, are they not self-disciplined? Is it bitter or not? Jiang Xinghuo already has a deep understanding of this answer.

Just as the self-disciplined person is often just the fastest hamster in a cage, suffering is not worthy of praise, but it is worth singing about if it is physically eliminated to give suffering.

Therefore, suffering is often unavoidable for ordinary people, and it is better to find a way to solve the root cause of the suffering, which is the way to save Li Shu from hanging upside down.

After a period of mouth clearance, Jiang Xinghuo began to stretch his exercises.

"The person who gets up at this hour is the star of the future, the pillar of talent, the idiom in the rich five cars, the talent of the eight buckets, the person in the proverb, the dragon and phoenix in the plain language, the self-discipline of my three provinces and my body, the king of the jungle in nature, the spurner of all the ugliness and evil in the world, and the creator of all the beauty and good in the world.

The inmates next door and across the street have long been surprised by this eccentric Mr. Jiang.

After all, according to Jiang Xinghuo's words, it seems that they are better at getting up early, right?

It's a compliment to everyone.

"Bell Chang Chang~"

The sound of bells rang, and the jailers who delivered the meals and the prisoners who were drawn by lot arrived.

Today, it turned out to be the bearded man who was in charge of delivering food, and the big bucket that usually takes two people to lift was easily lifted in his hand with one hand.

The jailer, Lao Wang, stood in front and rang the bell and shouted.

"Come on! Come on! ”

Jiang Xinghuo stopped moving, uncovered the clay pot, used the water stored in the small bucket, washed briefly, and stood on the edge of the cell waiting for a meal.

Zhu Gaoxu obviously took extra care of Mr. Jiang and handed him a food box from Jinyiwei.

In addition to steamed buns, pickles and porridge, there is also a plate of fried cabbage, a plate of soy tofu, a few slices of bacon and a small plate of pickled radish.

Zheng He obviously didn't have Jiang Xinghuo's treatment, the jailer Lao Wang snorted coldly, his wrists shook and trembled, and a spoonful of gruel was only a few mouthfuls of yellow soup and water left in the bowl, which was extremely pitiful.

Zheng He was about to have a seizure, but he could poke his eyes out of the small window of the cell door slightly, and when he looked sideways and saw the next door, that is, in front of the cell where he and Jiang Xinghuo were in prison, he didn't know when there was an extra Zhu Gaoxu, but he couldn't help it.

"How do you"

Zhu Gaoxu, who was talking to Jiang Xinghuo, was stunned when he saw Zheng He, who was made up as a bare-faced and long-haired Guan Gong.

Zheng He was afraid of revealing his stuffing, but he hadn't gotten the spherical chart in Jiang Xinghuo's hand yet, so he hurriedly gestured to Zhu Gaoxu and explained with a wry smile.

"General, I'm not afraid of your jokes, you also know that I was originally a good family in Shandong, and it was the imperial court that levied conscription during the Jingjing disaster. After the Battle of Jinan, the whole of Shandong was destroyed, and the Yan army rangers went out to destroy the supply line from Huaibei to the camp in Dezhou. ”

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu, who realized it later, realize that since Zheng He pretended to be a prisoner and approached Jiang Xinghuo, he thought that he had a set of explanations for his origin, which was to tell himself again, which was equivalent to patching the sewn clothes.

"Hey, you two are still old acquaintances?"

Jiang Xinghuo stopped "sucking and sucking" and looked next to him, it was the irritable old brother who stared at people at every turn last night.

"I am indeed an old acquaintance with this person." Zhu Gaoxu said in a teasing tone, pointing to a short and narrow scar on his face and said, "This scar of mine was cut by this righteous man on Huaidian. ”

“.”

Jiang Xinghuo suddenly discovered that this was a script in which the enemy was very angry when they met.

Interesting, very interesting.

Zhu Gaoxu, who played the role of "Gao Yu, the cavalry general of the Southern Army", also entered the play, and then snorted coldly, made a statement of righteous indignation, and said in a deep voice.

"If it weren't for the inexhaustible extermination of these bandits and the decisive battle of Lingbi, why couldn't the army supply food and grass? How does the swallow thief win? ”

Zheng He is also an old actor, looking outside and raising his voice: "The court has forced us to be cornered, if we don't rebel, do we have to wait to starve to death?" ”

The more Zheng He spoke, the more energetic he became: "Jianwen Huangkou child, where do you know about the suffering of the people?" was only bewitched by the two traitors of Qitai and Huang Zicheng, and lost the hearts of the people from top to bottom, if not, how could King Yan be invincible all the way? Not the desire of the people? ”

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes, his father and emperor were not here, and he could still hold it like this.

The two continued to fight loudly, but were warned and stopped by the jailer farther away.

Zhu Gaoxu carried the bucket and left the prison area with the jailer Lao Wang.

Next up is the lucky hour's time in the morning.

The jailer will draw lots to determine which prisoner will be in charge of cleaning the passage in the prison today.

"Yichen 13."

Zheng He, who reported on the first day, was drawn, and in Jinyiwei's official document, his identity was the leader of the bandits who had fallen into the grass in Huaibei, and as a key prevention object, he was required to wear handcuffs and shackles to perform this work.

Again, there are many prisoners and few prisons in Nanjing now, so those who were not qualified to live in the edict prison before are now stuffed in.

There is no strict time limit for cleaning the passages, as long as it is done before the wind is released at noon.

Therefore, seeing Zheng He's staggering appearance, the jailer did not urge, and returned to the big iron gate not far away to rest.

Zheng He cleaned and peeked again.

Jiang Xinghuo, who was drinking white porridge, seemed to be aware of it, and he also turned his head sideways, but only saw Zheng He sweeping the floor seriously.

Seeing Jiang Xinghuo turn his head, Zheng He secretly turned his head again, wanting to look at the "globe" buried under the straw pile.

However, this time, Jiang Xinghuo quickly turned his head and grabbed him.

"What do you always look at me for?"

“.”

"White porridge?"

“.”

"If you want to drink it, you can say it, how do I know if you don't say it."

Jiang Xinghuo moved his buttocks, squeezed to the side of the cell door and stretched out the bowl, tilting the remaining white porridge.

"That's not what I meant."

Zheng He swallowed his saliva and shook his head.

"I know you've eaten a lot, and you've been hungry since last night." Jiang Xinghuo obviously sympathized with him, "Come on, face is not worth much, how many heroes and heroes are stumped by a penny?" A mouthful of porridge in the edict is much more expensive than a penny. ”

Zheng He was busy last night, he didn't have time to eat, and he ate a lot, if he didn't drink those two mouthfuls of gruel in the morning, it would be fine, and he could endure it, and after drinking two mouthfuls of gruel, it was appetizing.

Zheng He saw the white porridge at this time, and he endured his hunger even more, waved his hand and said.

"I'm really not that. Belch! ”

The belly was like a drum, and the scene was embarrassing for a while.

Zheng He waved his hand, anyway, his face was dark, and he couldn't see the blush: "You thing, can you lend me a look?" ”

"Which one?" Jiang Xinghuo became vigilant.

"That." Zheng He was indescribable for a while.

"Which one is that?" Jiang Xinghuo's brows tightened.

"That's it. Spherical charts, maps. Zheng He eventually found the exact descriptor.

"Oh, you said a globe."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded.

Zheng He put down his broom and looked at him hopefully.

A "thank you" was about to blurt out.

"I don't borrow it."

Jiang Xinghuo said righteously: "Don't you know that it is illegal to hide a map in Daming?" I'm a law-abiding person who wants to be released from prison, this is not a nautical chart, a map, but a handicraft carved out of a personal hobby, do you know the handicraft? ”

Jiang Xinghuo is not a fool, since he knows Li Jinglong's true identity, he knows that the identity of the person in this prison who he feels abnormal must be abnormal, but he doesn't know it.

Now that "Mr. Qiu" has just left, a man who looks like Guan Gong has come, which is obviously a problem.

Since he knew that the other party had a problem, Jiang Xinghuo certainly couldn't let the other party be happy.

Otherwise, how can this game of "you guess I guess the identity" continue?

Jiang Xinghuo turned over and continued to sleep back in the cage, leaving only Zheng He, who was sluggish outside the small window of the cell.

Zheng He clenched his fists, and his cheeks, which were already painted red, turned a little purple.

However, after considering the hardness of his fists and the iron door, Zheng He gave up the idea of dismantling the iron door with his bare hands and snatching the Rausch "globe".

"Calm down. Calm"

Zheng He is a person who has seen the world after all, and the reason why he is so angry is because he was inadvertently sent too much by Jiang Xinghuo before.

I stayed well in the capital, because I went to listen to a class with the emperor, I was sent to Quanzhou to build a ship, and it was just a matter of shipbuilding, and I had to go to sea to exterminate the Japanese invaders, and I had to go to the stone pond to dig guano!

And these, just because a prisoner inadvertently pointed out a few words to the country, he almost broke his leg!

Outrageous!

If someone else comes to Zheng He's perspective, I'm afraid they will be angry.

But after Zheng He got out of the angry state, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Jiang Xinghuo really didn't know all the troubles he caused him.

And from Jiang Xinghuo's point of view, he was scared by himself in the middle of the night last night, and he was so aggressive during the day today, and no one would lend it to him if he changed it.

After such self-reflection, Zheng He calmed down.

So, he began to clean the passage of the prison area in earnest.

Zheng He believes that as long as he can let go of his prejudices and get along with Jiang Xinghuo well, it won't take a few days for Jiang Xinghuo to let down his guard.

"Well, I'm sure I'll be able to see that 'globe' again."

——————

Two streets in front of the Imperial Prison.

"Thank you, Mage, for your help!"

Jiang Xuan was shocked and thanked Huikong, who was dressed in an apricot yellow monk's robe.

Huikong, who practiced closed-mouth meditation, still kept silent, but folded his hands and bowed.

And not far away, there is a scolding distant uncle and her sons.

The uncle still turned his head and scolded "there is a mother without a father", but her sons were beaten by Huikong with a blue nose and swollen face, and at this time they pulled their own mothers and just wanted to run away quickly.

"No need to thank you, since we are passing by, we can't see this injustice, this is what we should do!"

The Qingfeng female crown who had just shrunk behind Monk Huikong shook off the dust at this time, but comforted Jiang Xuan with a kind smile.

These two people were naturally sent by Dao Yan and Zhang Tianshi to secretly protect and monitor Jiang Xuan.

After the distant uncle was hacked to death by a knife in the "Ningbo Caravan", the uncle and grandmother lost their square inches, and they didn't think that they had anything to do with Jiang Xuan, a little girl, but they just felt that their man had an accident inexplicably, which must be because of bad feng shui.

Why is feng shui not good, naturally the new house is not good, why the new house is chosen, naturally it has to be attributed to Jiang Xuan.

Well, it can only be said that the logic of the vixen does not need to be more serious.

Huikong gave Qingfeng a look to the female crown, and Qingfeng suddenly took out something from his sleeve without leaving a trace.

An exquisitely carved jade statue of an immortal.

Qingfeng Nuguan smiled sweetly and said to Jiang Xuan, who was a little timid.

"The fertilizer immortal is on top, and this thing is given to a friend, which can be regarded as a blessing for you and me."

Jiang Xuan looked at the miniature version of the immortal statue in front of him at the big altar in the eastern suburbs, and when he thought of his brother's appearance, he was indeed a little moved, but it was not good to take other people's things for nothing as soon as he was helped.

"This"

Qingfeng Nuguan simply stuffed the immortal statue directly into Jiang Xuan's hand, and handed a sachet to Jiang Xuan.

"Xiaoyou relax, the two of us are by no means evildoers, this sachet is used to ward off evil spirits. As for the statue of the fertilizer immortal, although it is a casual work of my teacher, it also has the effect of praying for peace. ”

Jiang Xuan was even more puzzled when she heard this, even if this immortal statue was a casual work of her teacher, it wouldn't just be given away, right?

But after thinking about it, since the other party said so, there must be a reason, and Jiang Xuan did feel that the jade material used in the statue was indeed extraordinary, and it was warm and tight in his hand, and the other party might have any intentions, but it was difficult to say now.

After two more sentences, Jiang Xuan couldn't refuse, so Jiang Xuan had no choice but to thank the two: "Thank you Master for saving your life, thank you for the gift of the female crown." ”

"Little friends don't need to be polite." The breeze is the first to go.

Huikong also folded his hands.

Watching Jiang Xuan walk in the direction of the edict, the two who had completed the task also left with grace.

Soon, Jiang Xuan, who was wearing an ordinary cloth and linen skirt, met Jiang Xinghuo unusually smoothly in the Imperial Prison.

As for whether there was a greeting from Ji Gang for this abnormal smoothness, it is unknown.

Jiang Xinghuo, who came out to see his family, also stuffed some copper coins for the jailer and invited him to tea.

"Out of money?"

Jiang Xinghuo's question, as always, hit the soul.

It stands to reason that the price of silver in the early Ming Dynasty was very strong, and the silver flood in the late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was not comparable at all.

Jiang Xuan shook his head and took out a delicately carved white jade statue from his arms.

"What is this?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the humanoid white jade statue and asked suspiciously.

Jiang Xuan handed the statue to Jiang Xinghuo and said softly.

"Brother, look at what this looks like."

Jiang Xinghuo took the statue and looked at it carefully for a moment, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

This statue is dressed in a robe. But why does it look familiar?

Wait a minute!

Isn't this my statue?!

Jiang Xinghuo put down the statue, pressed his cousin's shoulder, and looked at his face reflected in the other party's eyes through the other party's big watery eyes.

Broken,

I'm a stand-in.

Jiang Xinghuo sat back on the chair in the duty room, rubbed his cheek, and took a few breaths before he came to his senses.

"You carved this thing? When did you get this craft? ”

Jiang Xuan shook her head.

"A female crown gave it to me."

Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it may be a coincidence, his face is heavy, it is not impossible.

And Jiang Xuan's next sentence immediately made his breath of relief get stuck in his throat, causing a violent cough.

"This is a miniature version of the fertilizer immortal statue outside, and now in many places in Zhili and Jiangnan, there are exactly the same fertilizer immortal statues."

Previously, Jiang Xinghuo heard Jiang Xuan talk about the binding of chemical fertilizers and Daming treasury bonds, so he sensed that something was wrong, and then guessed Li Jinglong's identity.

But now the new information made him suddenly sober up.

Chemical fertilizers, Ming national bonds, fertilizer immortals.

Jiang Xinghuo's mind seemed to have a small lightning bolt.

Fertilizer immortals, it's actually me?

At this time, Jiang Xuan also felt that something was wrong, and she asked softly tentatively, "Brother, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Jiang Xinghuo endured the turmoil in his heart, pretending to be calm and said to his cousin.

"This fertilizer immortal looks too similar to me, for a while I thought it was carved in my appearance, and I was inevitably a little shocked, right, what is the name of the fertilizer immortal?"

Jiang Xuan said strangely: "How can the fertilizer immortal have a name?" Fertilizer immortals are fertilizer immortals. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xinghuo put down his hanging heart.

As long as it is not the extremely social death of the name of "Fertilizer Immortal Jiang Xinghuo", it is not a big problem.

However, Jiang Xinghuo's vigilance has been further improved, and this time, just in case, to learn more information, Jiang Xinghuo asked again.

"What else have you heard lately? Tell me about everything. ”

Jiang Xuan told Jiang Xinghuo about some of the market news she heard in the inn.

At the beginning, it was all a short affair of the East and the West, until one of the rumors aroused Jiang Xinghuo's high suspicion.

"You mean, now in the market of Nanjing, there are rumors that the second prince Zhu Gaochu is about to be released from prison and will compete with the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi for the crown?"

Jiang Xuan nodded obediently.

"Which prison is the second prince Zhu Gaoxu in, and why is he imprisoned?"

"It's in the edict, I don't know if my brother recognizes it?" As for the latter question, Jiang Xuan was puzzled, "Why are you in prison, it seems that you are angry with Your Majesty?" Who knows? Anyway, I've been there for months. ”

Jiang Xinghuo was silent for a moment and asked the last question.

"What is the rumored Zhu Gaoxu in Nanjing?"

"Nine feet tall, King Xiang is reincarnated, he must be like a dragon, and he can carry the tripod."

Another small bolt of lightning flashed through Jiang Xinghuo's mind.

Gao Yu, bearded, second prince, Zhu Gaoxu!

A possibility that had never been imagined was realized in Jiang Xinghuo's own operation.

In prison, he was bored and idle, and the two students he taught were Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao Guo, and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu!

No wonder!

No wonder the fertilizer fairy has become myself!
