Fight for the tiger
After passing through the courtyard through the garden, he turned around for a long time to the main hall of the palace, and there was a report at the door, and the bearded man took Zhao Shi in.
The prince sat behind the desk, with a white face and a short beard, very elegant, about thirty years old.
Seeing the bearded man come in, he said: "This time you did a good job, give me a long face, those two rogues are very famous, I didn't expect to be planted in one day when I arrived in Weicheng."
The most important thing is that he came back quickly and kept Xiaoliu's reputation, and the princes in the palace praised it very much."
"That's the prince's blessing, and the small one is to say goodbye to the prince," the bearded man said and bowed.
The prince waved his hand, "Don't come to these useless people, there are no outsiders here, I won't reward you, and you can't do it if you are an official, send some good wine from the south, and take two jars when you leave"
The bearded man got up and said, "I won't do it for my officials, it's good to have wine, it's good to have wine."
The prince turned his eyes to look at Zhao Shidao and said, "Are you that Langzhong?" What is it called? Where are the people's clan".
Zhao Shi's cheap father's surname is Liu, and the people in the village call him the Liu family's eldest man, and he doesn't have a serious name, Zhao Shi still reports the name of his previous life:
"The villain's surname is Zhao Mingshi, a native of Northern Xia."
After hearing this, the prince was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Shi carefully, and found that Zhao Shi had a vague circle mark on his forehead, which was the mark of the Northern Slave.
It's just that Zhao Shi gave the benefit at the beginning, and the scalding was very shallow, leaving only a little mark, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully.
The prince glared at the bearded man fiercely, he originally thought that this Langzhong was a person from his own Zhuangzi, but he didn't expect it to be a northern slave, and this reckless man didn't say a word in advance.
But he had already called over, how could he have saved his daughter, and he had told this person in front of the prince, so he didn't want to reward anything, and he said after a while:
"The northern slave doesn't matter, fortunately, your brand is not obvious, I asked people to get rid of your slave status, just stay here, where did you learn medical skills?"
"Back to the prince, there is a master from a foreign country who taught me in the village for a few years"
The prince nodded and said to the bearded man: "You arrange an errand for you, and you will go to the government office to arrange a birth notice card in a while."
The bearded man answered and took Zhao Shi out, and the prince continued later:
"I don't have any money to go to the account office to pay some money, don't gamble anymore, they are all cheating you out of money."
Dahan turned around and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, I know, don't gamble"
Out of the palace, the big man walked in front with a wine jar, and Zhao Shi followed behind, chatting casually:
"My lord, I see that the prince and you are very close"
"That is, I was the prince's playmate when I was a child, and I played from childhood to adulthood," the big man said triumphantly.
Zhao Shi asked again: "What are you doing with this pipe belt?" ”
"Catch fast, the servants, the cell heads, and the Weishui City with knives are all under my control except for the prince's soldiers."
After walking for a while, he arrived at a courtyard, the man opened the gate and took Zhao Shi in, and the courtyard was not small, but the miscellaneous piles were relatively messy.
There are three main rooms in the front and one side room on each side. When you enter the house, it is even more chaotic.
The big man patted open the mud seal of the wine jar, grabbed a bowl and poured a bowl, drank it all with a bang, burped and said:
"My surname is Zhou, my name is Zhou Xiang, I will live alone, and you will clean up the room by yourself in a while. I asked someone to bring some rice and make my own food, but I don't eat here, sometimes I go back and sometimes I don't come back at night. Tomorrow I will arrange an errand for you, remember not to touch my wine"
After speaking, he threw a key to Zhao Shi and left.
In the afternoon, an official sent a bag of rice and a jar of pickles, and Zhao Shi began to tidy up the house, and it was not until the evening that he cleaned up a few rooms.
There is also a small courtyard in the back, but it is overgrown with grass. Let's clean it up later, Zhao Shi cooked and ate by himself, and Zhou Xiang didn't come back.
The next day, Zhou Xiang came back and brought a set of official clothes for Zhao Shi to change into, and then took Zhao Shi out.
Zhou Xiang rode a horse, and Zhao Shi followed him to a high-walled compound, only to know that this was the Weicheng prison when he came in.
A man with a fierce face and a fat and strong mother-in-law came to greet Zhao Xiang, Zhao Xiang pointed to them and said to Zhao Shi:
"This is the head of Zheng Prison, and that is his mother-in-law in charge of the women's prison."
turned around and said to the two of them: "This is a new prison officer, the prince arranged it, you arrange an errand, I still have something to do in the office, don't stay, there is no chaos."
"No, no," the two of them smiled,
Zhou Xiang nodded, "It's good if you don't have it", and walked out after speaking, and the two bent down to follow.
Zhao Xiang said as he walked: "That scholar takes care of the wounds, give more medicine for the injuries on his body, don't be too harsh on food, after all, he is a scholar."
"Don't worry, it will be arranged", the two nodded and sent Zhou Xiang away.
came back to arrange work for Zhao Shi, because I listened to a sentence arranged by the prince, I don't know what it is, but I am respectful to Zhao Shi.
There are five rows of cells on the top of the prison, and there is a dungeon underneath, which is full of important prisoners.
There are more than 20 jailers on the side, more than a dozen are on patrol, four are outside the prison, and two are the inner prisoners, which is the dungeon.
Zhao Shi was assigned to the internal and external prison, which was very easy, except for the prisoners who had to be lifted by themselves and then handed over to the patrol, the rest of the food and toilet bowls and the like could be done by honest prisoners.
Work early and late at night, taking turns to be on duty. Zhao Shi first paid half a month's salary, one hundred and twenty big money, and went to work to buy something on the street.
Comparing the prices, I feel that there is no problem with the 120 big money to be tight until the end of the month.
The prison guards have a shed, but Zhou Xiang saw that Zhao Shi was diligent and spoke sweetly, so he left him in the house, and used it as half a subordinate.
After a few days, Zhao Shi found that Zhou Xiang often came to deliver meals, carrying a more luxurious food box, which came out at about the time of a meal in the dungeon.
After a long time, Zhao Shi became familiar with others and prisoners, and only then did he have a general understanding of this world.
It is said that thousands of miles from the north, south, east and west of this continent belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Zhao Shi knew that this was just a very large description of the person, and he didn't know how much it should be.
The emperor of Zhou was surnamed Zheng, and the four people who fought the world with him were divided into four kings, namely the Southern Jin Dynasty King Lijia, the Eastern Han Dynasty King Liu Family, the Western Liang King Qin Family, and the Northern Yan King Zhou Family.
The four small states and the Zheng family of the Middle Zhou Dynasty were collectively known as the Great Zhou. This Weicheng is the second son of the king of Beiyan, who was sealed in Weishui City, called Prince Wei, and is in charge of one government and seven counties.
However, there is everything to say about the Divine Cult, and the people below call it the Tongtian Sect, because the Divine Cult is on the Tongtian Mountain.
It is said that the people living on the mountain are all immortals, and there are all kinds of rumors and rumors. One thing is certain, all princes and grandchildren will go to Tongtian Peak to study for three years before they reach adulthood.
The old king here did not abdicate after death, but abdicated when he was old, and then went to Tongtian Peak to cultivate, and it is said that he can become an immortal.
Zhao Shi was disdainful of this, but it was certain that this Tongtian Sect was really very unusual, and its power was definitely above the imperial power.
On this day, Zhao Shi was in prison, and there was a quarrel outside, and the cell boss went out for a while and came back.
Zhao Shi asked casually, and the cell boss said that it was the scholar's family, and said that he had been in for a few days, and he had to give an explanation if he was not tried or sentenced, and at least he had to meet the criminal.
"Shouldn't you go to the government and ask? How did you get to us? ”
The cell boss sneered and said: "That's because they didn't know the exact news, so they didn't dare to go to the government office rashly, so they came here to find out the bottom first."
After a while, Zhou Xiang came, shouted to the cell boss to go out, muttered a few words, and left.
Zhou Xiang came back rarely, Zhao Shi got two dishes for him, and Zhou Xiang unusually pulled Zhao Shi to sit down and drink.
The taste of the wine is okay, but it is very light, according to the previous life, it is only about 20 degrees.
After drinking for a while, seeing that Zhou Xiang was frowning and not speaking, Zhao Shi asked what was the matter. Zhou Xiang twisted for a long time before telling Zhao Shi.
It turned out that a scholar drank too much and scolded Prince Wei, and it reached the ears of the prince, so he asked Zhou Xiang to take a look.
It wasn't a big deal, but as soon as the scholar was scared by the lock, he peed his pants, and he explained it all on the spot.
When the scholar's daughter-in-law heard that she had come to visit the prison, Zhou Xiang was moved by lust as soon as she saw the beauty of the book, and let the scholar be punished, and let the little lady stand outside to watch, where did this little lady see this, and she was paralyzed with fright.
This week, Xiang coerced and lured the little lady in prison, and promised to help solve the matter afterwards.
But Zhou Xiang didn't know how to judge the prince when he reported it, and he was afraid that the sentence would be heavy and he would not be able to explain to the little lady, so he pressed it and didn't report it.
I couldn't forget the little lady, so I ran to people's houses one after another, and the little lady didn't dare to make a noise, so I had to endure it.
This scholar's surname is Liu, if there is no big family in this world, how can anyone read books, but he is a side branch, and the Liu family just recommends going to the city as a clerk.
This scholar is also stupid in reading, and as soon as a few cups of cat urine are in his stomach, he actually scolded the prince in public. But there was no movement for a long time this time, and the Liu family was not good enough to ask, so they asked a few people to ask, and Zhao Xiang panicked when he heard this.
Zhao Shi didn't laugh after hearing this, and he couldn't settle this matter evenly, but it was really a pig's brain.
"Don't panic, I'll settle this matter with you tomorrow",
"Really?"
"Of course, how dare I laugh with the pipe"
"Tell me how to solve it"
"Don't worry about it, just take me to meet those people tomorrow"
"Okay, good" Zhou Xiangyi was happy, and the bowl of wine dried up in one sip.
The next day, Zhao Shi was on the evening shift, and asked Zhou Xiang to send someone to call the Liu family to the scholar's house to see him. At the appointed hour, Zhou Xiang led Zhao Shi to the scholar's house.
When he arrived at the scholar's house, Zhao Shiyi pointed to a tea shed in the distance and said to Zhou Xiang: "Take it there and wait for a while."
Zhou Xiang was still a little puzzled: "Are you feasible?" Nothing will go wrong with the pool."
"The pipe belt is just safe and error-free".
Seeing Zhou Xiang walk away, Zhao Shi pushed the door and entered, the courtyard was very small, just a hall.
Knocking on the door and entering the room, there were three sitting and two standing inside, and a woman standing in the corner with red and swollen eyes, indeed pretty.
"The pipe belt asked me to come later, why don't you see the pipe belt," everyone asked immediately when they saw a half-grown man wearing the clothes of a servant come in.
Zhao Shi didn't answer immediately, but swept around one by one before slowly asking: "You are all from the Liu family"
These people saw that Zhao Shi was very imposing, so they didn't dare to say anything anymore and nodded in response.
"That's what I'm here to do, you should know that this is a case ordered by the prince himself, if you have any questions, write them down, sign them, and I'll show them to the prince."
Zhao Shi said unhurriedly.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and one of them dared to say: "It's not good to alarm the prince with such a trivial matter."
Zhao Shi sneered and said, "You also know that it's not good? ”
Then he said sharply: "It's all lard."
After saying that, he patted one of them, and the man quickly gave up his seat, Zhao Shi sat down, and said while fiddling with his nails:
"Originally, this matter can be big or small, but the prince is angry now, if you report it now, you will have to distribute the mine for at least three years, my family management belt also cherishes the reader, if the scholar goes down the mine, where will he still have the life to come back, and your Liu family's reputation is also not good, isn't it?
So my family manager thought about pressing it for a few months, and when the prince forgot about it, he brought other official documents and approved it, which is a matter of playing a few boards."
When several people heard this, they hurriedly bowed their hands and complimented them gossipily.
Bang, Zhao Shi slapped the table and immediately fell silent
"But my family manager has a kind heart but he is a donkey's liver and lungs, and he dares to make trouble, my family manager said, there is no benefit, and it is not a hard time to bear a body.
The next day will be handed over to the official document, of course, a few things have to be reported truthfully, the province is implicated in their own heads, this is to tell a voice, I quickly find a way, so as not to say that my family management is not humane"
After finishing speaking, he got up and left, and several people hurriedly grabbed Zhao Shi, but Zhao Shi ignored it and walked out of the house.
A person in charge chased him out and took Zhao Shi's hand and said, "Little brother, you must help with this matter."
After speaking, he stuffed something in Zhao Shi's sleeve. Zhao Shi sighed and said:
"My family manager doesn't want to do this, the two families have no face, but many jailers know about this, and they always have to make some money to gag it, so that it won't reach the ears of the prince."
"That's that," the man nodded hurriedly,
"When I came, I saw my housekeeper drinking tea in front, but I still don't have to say anything, so that outsiders can see that I am implicated."
After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he was discharged from the hospital and left.
Go back and take out the things in the sleeve and take a look, a ingot of silver, enough two or three taels, in this era, one or two feet of silver can be exchanged for two hundred dollars, a small profit, Zhao Shi put it away with satisfaction.
