Everyone has no interest in talking and drinking for a while, and the sorrow will disperse.

Suddenly, the door curtain was opened again, but the two young people ran back in a hurry, panting and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I forgot the account before, I don't know how much it costs?"

As he spoke, he reached out and took the money.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "No need, no need, there was already a guest from Xunzhou just now who met for the two of you." ”

The two people who were about to take the money couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and looked up in surprise and said, "Merchants from Yunzhou, this is ...... But we have never recognized the merchants from Xunzhou. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Hehe, Xu doesn't recognize it, but the guest said......"

The shopkeeper paused slightly, and then said with a low smile: "That guest said that there should be two good men like Xiaolang in Daqin.

Oh, he also said that Xunzhou people don't eat people. ”

“......”

The two young men were a little stunned when they heard this, and they nodded in a daze, but they didn't quite understand what it meant.

The young man named Ah Tang scratched his ears, then hugged his fists and said, "Since that's the case, then...... If the shopkeeper sees him again, he will thank the guest for the two of us. ”

"Good. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and agreed with a smile.

The two stood for a moment, but they didn't know what to say, so they had to hug their fists again, say thank you, and turn around to go out.

The shopkeeper suddenly stopped the two again, "Two Xiaolang." ”

"Huh?"

The two of them stood still, not knowing what was going on.

The shopkeeper just smiled, hugged his fists and said, "The future is bright!"

Although the two of them didn't know why, they nodded seriously, "Thank you for your auspicious words!"

......

After the two left, the other guests in the restaurant also left.

The shopkeeper who was smiling in front of people just now, but the smile on his face gradually put away, and he looked left and right to see if there were no outsiders.

His expression suddenly froze, and then he walked quickly to the warehouse behind the store, stretched out his hand and pressed it somewhere on the wall, only to hear a click, and a dark grid was suddenly revealed on the wall, which contained pen and paper, and there was a small hole behind the dark grid, which was dark and did not know where it led.

I saw the shopkeeper quickly pick up the pen and paper, and the pen was like a fly and wrote: "Jinyi Wei Bingwu report...... Chen Zhao, the son of the Chen family, and Feng Tang, the son of the Feng family, talked about the ...... in the wine shop Then there was a merchant from Xunzhou, whose name is unknown......"

After writing, it is skillfully rolled into a roll, sealed with wax, and then thrown into the small holes.

Do all of this, and then close the dark compartment again.

Exhale softly.

When I walked out of the store, I was a shopkeeper with a smile on his face.

......

And almost at the same moment, the waxed paper scroll had already appeared in the palm of a hand that was a little too white for a man.

Then it passes through the owner of this palm and passes it out again.

Soon after, it went through layers of transmission, screening, and screening, and then it appeared on the desk of Lin Yuchen, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, along with a pile of hundreds of paper rolls.

Here, it goes through the last layer of screening.

In the end, it was fortunately judged to be critical, and appeared in the hands of Emperor Zhao Xin that night.

More similar rolls of paper were either sealed or identified as useless and burned as if they had never existed.

And when Zhao Xin unfolded it.

Chen Zhao and Feng Tang had already set off from Luoshui and headed south.

And they're not the only ones.

In fact, there are nearly 100 young people like them, who were imprisoned in the Dongchang Black Prison because of the knocking case, and thought that they would never see the light of day again, were received by Cao Xiong, the eunuch of the Dongchang palm print.

And he was told that the emperor was merciful and could not bear to see them die at a young age because of a mistake.

So it was decided to give them another chance.

But whether they can cherish it or not depends on themselves.

Then these people are surprised, excited, or grateful to see the light of day again.

Most of these people are also the same as Feng Tang and Chen Zhao, either children of poor families or concubines of wealthy families.

All in all, they all have a common identity, which is that of people who have been abandoned by their respective families.

At this point, they were each given a different task.

These tasks are varied.

Several groups of people, like Feng Tang and Chen Zhao, were ordered to survey the geomorphology and geology of the places where the canal routes and routes could be carried out.

Some tasks are to survey the water network of the capital or a certain state and county, and the drought situation.

Others were ordered to lead the displaced people in digging a certain section of the riverbed.

There are even those who go to a certain county to find out the atmosphere of local officials and find out the pattern of local families.

These tasks are a bit difficult, and some seem to be easy.

It is necessary to investigate the official atmosphere, and so on.

This is very simple in the eyes of many people, and they think that they can understand it by going directly to the local people and asking them.

But after some people get these tasks, after a little thought, they immediately feel that this matter does not seem to be easy at all.

Observing the atmosphere of officials, is it really enough to go to the local area and ask the people?

If that's the case, why don't you just let Jinyiwei send someone to ask?

What exactly does the Emperor want to know?

What about after observing the atmosphere?

Smart people know at a glance that these tasks are actually tests for their follow-up tasks.

At the same time, I am afraid that it is also for them to prepare for the follow-up tasks.

For example, surveying the canal route.

Anyone who has a brain, will think of it.

The construction of the canal is such a big thing, and the canal route is such an important decision.

Will it really let a few young men who don't understand anything have the final say?

That's child's play.

So smart people will know that they not only have to complete the task, but also understand what exactly is the purpose of the task?

Obviously, this is a test.

But what is the test?

Zhao Xin looked at this sealed report.

The expression on his face was dull and uncertain.

But there was a hint of a noticeable lift at the corners of his mouth.

At the beginning, all the students who participated in the knock were taken down and imprisoned, but they allowed the family to redeem them with money and food in person.

In the eyes of many people, this is the emperor's poor and crazy, stinky and shameless blackmail.

At the same time, it is also a compromise with the Maison.

That's right.

It's just that if those people think that Zhao Xin is just that, then they are wrong.

His real goal wasn't just money.

There are also the outcasts of these families.

He just wanted to let them see in front of them, his family, his so-called benefactor teacher's abandonment of them.

Then let them brew this unwillingness and unconvincing in despair.

Now it's finally time to use it.

But whether they can use it, Zhao Xin is not sure.

He didn't just want to see if these people had really despaired of their respective families, and even developed hatred.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be a problem.

In that case, he was abandoned by his family, and he suffered despair in a place like Dongchang Black Prison.

How can there be no enlightenment in such a situation?

But there are always exceptions.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as some of these people came out, they returned to their original families or benefactors.

But not for revenge, but to kneel and beg.

Kneel and beg those people to give them another chance.

Kneel and beg those people to help them out of the sea of suffering.

Or weep bitterly at their benefactor, "Benefactor, the student has finally seen the light of day from the Dog Emperor, and the student will be able to serve you again in the future!"

"Hehe, that's loyal. ”

Cheap, cheap!

Cao Xiong was beside him, a chill flashing in his eyes, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty." ”

"Go, take down the people they confessed to in the East Factory, and use their confessions as witnesses!

They should have something to confess, right?"

Zhao Xin said coldly.

Cao Xiong smiled when he heard this, and replied without hesitation: "Yes." ”

Does it matter?

Say that he has it, and he has it, and if he doesn't, he has it.

Isn't it just to find a few guys with conclusive evidence from the family to take it down?

Isn't it those sluts who confess?

Yes, definitely!

Not really!

A group of bastards, Your Majesty is so merciful, the old slaves are all moved, and those beasts are still indifferent and don't know how to cherish them.

Who do not frame them?

Of course, in practice, there is no need to say that those people confessed.

It's exactly at this juncture.

It just so happened that those people were free.

Then it happened that someone was given incriminating evidence by Dongchang.

And then...... Do you need to then?

Of course, these dirty means, of course, he would not say it in front of the emperor.

Your Majesty is merciful, great, wise, and holy.

Those dirty things, the old slave just needs to do it.

Cao Xiong walked out of the hall, then turned around and melted into the night.
