After going through many difficulties and overcoming many obstacles, Zhou Li and his party finally arrived in Beiliang City...

of the suburbs.

"Lockdown?"

Looking at the guards guarding the city in front of him, Zhou Li wondered: "What happened to Beiliang City?" Why is there a sudden lockdown? ”

"Alas, this is all the explanation of the big man above, and I don't know the specifics."

The soldiers guarding the city sighed helplessly, scratched their heads, and said:

"I don't know what's going on, last night I suddenly announced the closure of the city, and I was not allowed to go out or enter. The magistrate did not give an accurate answer, that is, let us close the three city gates. ”

"Don't you have a warrant?"

Guo Lingyun, who was on the side, stepped forward and asked with a frown, "What about the official documents?" The lockdown requires a notice to be posted at the city gate, so why don't you announce it? ”

"This..."

The soldier guarding the city was just about to scold this person for why there were so many problems, and then he saw the big red flying fish suit on the other party's body. He thought about it, although Guo Lingyun's tone was not very friendly, but for the sake of the other party's young age and ignorance of the rules, he would reconcile with this embroidered spring knife and flying fish suit.

"It's not that we don't publicize it, it's mainly that there is no warrant or notice from above, and we little people don't dare to ask for it from this magistrate."

After hearing the helpless words of the city guards, Guo Lingyun's face softened slightly, although he has an upright personality and can't tolerate sand in his eyes, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand human feelings at all. This is obviously the problem of the people above the county, if you embarrass this little pawn, it will be a bare butt grinding.

"That's not right!"

At this moment, Qianhu on the side finally couldn't suppress his heart of devotion to his post and love his industry, and under Zhou Li's playful expression, he stepped directly in front of the soldier with an arrow step, held down the frightened soldier, and said sincerely:

"According to the thirteenth regulation of the city preparation law in the Ming law, the closure of the city, the search and the curfew outside the specified time all need to be announced, and at the same time, three people form a team at the city gate to inform and dissuade the people."

Guo Lingyun slapped his head directly, raised his head speechlessly, and looked at the sky.

The bare-ass grinder is coming.

"Child, the provisions of the Ming Dynasty law have their roots, think about it, if you don't explain the reason for the closure of the city, then if someone with a heart deliberately instigates the gathered people to storm the city gate, won't the situation become serious?"

Pressing the other party's shoulders, Qianhu's tone was sincere and his expression was gentle, neither arrogant nor preachy tone of the older generation. Qianhu was like the father of this city guard, and taught him earnestly:

"You are an ordinary soldier, I understand your powerlessness to resist your superiors, and I am also from your age. But you can't give up on yourself, and if you accept this precarious life, then everything will go in the direction you don't want. ”

"As it is now, if the people are instigated to storm the city gates, you are the one who suffers, you are the one who is saddened, and you are the one who is found to be guilty of the crime. Child, the world is like this, but you can't be controlled by the world, you have to learn to resist and learn to fight for your own rights. ”

"Got it?"

Liu Zhu quickly turned around in astonishment, and pointed to the thousand households with a Buddha's face full of light. Zhou Li and Tang Guan, who were staring at him, turned their faces in unison, pretending to look at the scenery.

"Let me explain."

Guo Lingyun walked to Liu Zhukuai's side with a relieved smile, and after a short silence, Guo Lingyun said calmly under Liu Zhukuai's gaze: "I can't explain it clearly, you just treat him as having a problem with his brain." ”

At this time, Liu Yukuai only felt as if he was Grandma Liu who had entered Che Chi Kingdom, and saw the species of Optimus Prime for the first time. He looked at Qianhu in disbelief at the soldiers in front of him, and for a while he couldn't tell whether he was still trapped in the hallucination of the mountain god statue.

What species is this?

At this time, under the guidance of Qianhu's foundation, this soldier had begun to weep bitterly, ready to rush into the city lord's mansion to regain the dignity and rights that belonged to the soldier. Zhou Li, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward, and said:

"He is a thousand households in Jinyi, and the magistrate has to kneel on the ground and kowtow when he sees it."

After speaking, Zhou Li saw that the soldier knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed four times.

"No, I didn't mean that."

While sighing at the cleverness of this soldier, Zhou Li helped the other party up and said kindly: "In this way, you take this adult's token and report to your magistrate." ”

After hearing Zhou Li's words, Qianhu directly handed over his waist card, and did not forget to ask, "Do you need me to hand over the embroidered spring knife to you?" This one is more convincing. ”

Are you sure it's persuasion?

At this time, the soldiers' legs were shaken out of the afterimage, for these low-level personnel who can contact a little bit of the government, they know the prestige of Jinyiwei, including but not limited to "killing your head to the ground, killing your whole family's head to the ground, killing your nine clans' head to the ground", anyway, as long as Jinyiwei shows up, often nothing good happens.

At Zhou Li's signal, the soldier finally mustered up his courage, picked up his waist card and ran tremblingly towards the city. After about ten minutes, the soldier ran back breathlessly, panting and said:

"Lord Zhixian, say, you can enter the city..."

"Nope."

At this time, Qianhu on the side suddenly changed his face, and the soldier was directly mourning, thinking that he had annoyed the other party. I saw Qianhu sigh vigorously and lamented: "This magistrate's order is changed overnight, and it is not publicized to the public, which damages the prestige of the imperial court." After a meeting, I had to reprimand this man and make him correct his mistakes. ”

As soon as he heard this, the soldier who had lowered his head and said nothing directly nodded and led a few people to the city gate, opened the city gate in person, and respectfully took Zhou Li and others into the city.

After returning to Beiliang, Zhou Li was suddenly relieved and visibly relaxed. He looked at the familiar butcher shop on the street, the familiar tailor shop, the familiar own shop, and the familiar woman holding the rattan and looking at him with a smile on her face, and the cold sweat ran down.

Me,.

"Coming back?"

The woman was dressed in white, sitting quietly on a wicker chair, her figure slender and graceful, and her dress was not stained with half dust.

A layer of pale blue tulle faintly reveals the woman's graceful and cold face, and the ink-like soft green silk is combed into an elegant bun, which is fixed at the back of the head with a blue blue and white ice moon hairpin. And the long strand of hair that fell down quietly brushed behind him, and the red and white cloud ropes were overlapped together, tied into a dexterous bow.

After seeing the cold sweat on Zhou Li's face, the woman smiled softly, and the jade hand holding the white sand swayed slightly, and an invisible wind mark swept through, brushing away the cold sweat on Zhou Li's head.

"Why am I so flustered?"

The red lips are lightly opened, the sound is like the filament of spring rain, refreshing, and there is a faint smile in the quiet eyes. The woman looked at Zhou Li, who was pale, and slowly took off her veil, her words as calm as water.

"Xiaoli."
