Generally speaking, there is always a difference between people's subjective aspirations and objective reality that cannot be ignored. It's like Indians' self-perceived position as a world power and the reality that a large number of Indian children die every year from starvation and lack of medical care.

And the small civil servants in the Han Guanghe period, and the small civil servants who went to work on time and got off work on time in later generations, and were not happy to work overtime with subsidies, must not be regarded as a type of work.

Kneeling in front of the low table, enduring the soreness and numbness of his knees and calves due to the weight of his upper body, Wei Ye frowned and looked at an official document in front of him: "The text is given to Jing Zhaoyin and the counties of Gyeonggi, and the Taiping Demon Party will be searched." Shouldn't this be the first to ask for an edict from the palace, and then write a letter to Jing Zhaoyin from Shangshutai? Not to mention the nominal examination and refutation organ of the Shizhong Temple, the dead eunuch surnamed Zhou was only ordered to ask the case, so how could such a great power be used to mobilize these pro-people officials in Gyeonggi?"

"Because Zhou Bin asked for a handwritten letter from Zhang Rang, the regular servant of the middle, this kind of court regulation can be done in a hurry, isn't it?" Wang Qinian sat opposite Wei Ye on the ground, peeling the roasted chestnuts slowly, "Wei Sanlang, your errand is these fifteen official documents, and after copying them all, you can go back to your broken temple to study alchemy and draw talismans, but hurry up." You have been in the Imperial Prison Yamen for two days at a time, and there is one more person who eats public meals, so how much less oil and water do you want to let everyone in the Imperial Prison rub off? Yellow brown rice, bean sauce soup and old sauerkraut are not a good food, and you are not one of those kimchi country sticks with deep nitrite poisoning, wouldn't it be good to leave early after finishing the errand early?"

Wei Ye smiled, didn't answer, lowered his head and hung his wrist to copy the official document. Only the old man Wang was peeling chestnuts and looking around boredly. Although the miscellaneous stream is low, the official is the official, and the official is the official, and the distinction is clear, and it can be distinguished at a glance.

As soon as the chestnut fur in his hand was halfway scraped, someone knocked on the door outside: "Prince, but you haven't rested yet?" ”

Someone wanted to talk to the old man Wang, and Wei Ye was not without eyesight, so he immediately swept the bamboo slips on a few cases with interest and walked out of this office.

The moment he went out, he heard Wang Qinian lead He Chu to sit down, and chattered: "Ah, Brother He, why are you so polite? Brother Shi's intention, the old man knows everything, Zhou Daling was ordered to investigate the rebels, and he wanted to send the capable men of the Imperial Prison to investigate the case together with several yamen in Gyeonggi. Anyone who is related to the rebels, whether they are wealthy or wealthy, cannot be let go......"

This old official Youzi was talking about the tricks of running errands inside, but Wei Ye walked outside but sneered in a low voice: "During the period of the Second Emperor Huan Ling, there were many big prisons for the dead eunuchs who had no eggs, and the party case was counted as one, and now this moth thief case is going to start again?"

The so-called moth thief, that is, after the Taiping Road incident, pulled the yellow cloth to wrap the head, and the junction of the cloth strips is just like the pair of short feathers on the head of the moth, hence the name.

Pulling out the bamboo slip terminal from the sleeve, Wei Ye pinched the slightly cool terminal, but never clicked on the historical column inside.

Wei Ye didn't need to read that paragraph, he could almost recite it:

Ma Yuanyi's car was split in Luoyang, and Emperor Ling's edict to the three dukes, Si Li's case, the provincial direct guard of the palace and the people had something to do, and they killed more than 1,000 people, and those who destroyed the family and the mismatch were not counted.

In this era, there were barely one million households in the entire Henan region, and there were only 500,000 people in Luoyang's Gyeonggi land, which was the result of counting all the counties in Gyeonggi and the forbidden army guarding Luoyang. If it is placed in the industrial age, 500,000 is just the population of an ordinary county-level administrative area, but at this moment, it is like the imperial capital of the world.

Naturally, compared with the subsequent waves of Luoyang military disasters - killing the Ten Standing Servants, Dong Zhuo's plunder, the princes cutting Dong, and Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang - the moth thief prison with less than 10,000 deaths, in this series of major events of corpses and blood, it is not even a lace.

But for those who really live in Luoyang City, this is an out-and-out storm.

Sitting in the warmth of a living room and watching the news of a hurricane disaster is not the same as someone who has actually had their roof torn off by a storm.

"Spring is coming to Luoyang, but winter is coming. ”

Muttering, Wei Ye put away the bamboo slip terminal and slowly walked towards the gate of the Imperial Prison.

......

.........

finally got rid of those boring errands, but Wei Ye didn't go back to the old shrine directly, and went straight to Lizheng Mawan's house.

Of course, he didn't come to the door empty-handed, Wei Ye also brought a piece of fresh pork ribs, wrapped it in lotus leaves, and carried it into the old man's hut.

Mr. Wei San visited, the old man Ma was very happy, welcomed Wei Ye into the house and sat down, the old man went to pick up the ribs, the old man Ma himself first found a black glazed potbelly pottery bottle and two vermilion lacquer wine cups, and poured one for Wei Ye first.

The sake is an ordinary rice wine, not to mention it is very turbid, there are many rice grains floating, and the entrance is also sour, astringent, light and bitter.

Of course, Wei Ye didn't come for this thin wine that was both light and sour, he just took a sip and put it down, only teasing the edge of the wine cup with a tambourine.

According to the conclusions of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty or the Zizhi Tongjian, and even the conclusion of time and space observation, the Moth Thief Prison, like the previous Party Prison, is the leader of the eunuch group - Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, the dead eunuchs known as the godfather and godmother of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and the prison set off for political purge. It's just that unlike the previous party prison against the scholar group, the moth thief prison is aimed at the eunuch group. After all, under the blows of the two waves of party prisons, the Shirenqing faction has lost its dominance in the center of the court, and only relies on the local wealthy families to barely support it. Now it is a wealthy family like the Yuan family of Runan, the fourth generation and the third duke, and now it is almost the only one who does not dare to tie his hair. It is only because of this that Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong, the old partner of the dead eunuchs, dared to take advantage of the Taiping Dao uprising to behead these big mink who were on the same front as them but did not have the same heart, and also cleaned the inner palace guards from top to bottom.

As for the unjust imprisonment in the name of "the way to eliminate Zhang Jiao" on the ground in Gyeonggi, in the eyes of Zhang Rang and other powerful traitors, it is just a trivial matter like beating rabbits and hugging grass.

Just like a nobleman in Beijing who stepped on a seedling when he was hunting, who would compensate the farmer? The seedling would be stepped on, and the person would be killed, but that's all.

But that's about it.

In fact, fifteen of the documents that informed several pro-people officials in Gyeonggi to do a good job of joint arrest - or to put it bluntly - "framed" the anti-thieves were copied by Wei Ye himself. According to the usual attitude of the bureaucrats, the prison is now followed by countless denunciations, accusations, false accusations, and falling stones. In this spring in Luoyang City, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to smell the fragrance of peach and plum blossoms, only the smell of blood and corpses remains.

Hooking the edge of the wine cup with three fingers, Wei Ye picked up the vermilion lacquer wine cup that was only a little deeper than the plate, and took another sip of the sour and bitter thin wine.

"It's such a good wine, and when you drink it, your spirits are immediately lifted. Wei Ye nodded, picked up the pot-bellied black-glazed clay bottle, and added wine to the old man.

said that he was an old man, and the white-haired Mari was just in his early fifties, but fifty people are not called dead, and at this moment when the average life expectancy of human beings is still quite low, it is also considered a high life.

"Ma Lao, Fang Shi all take wine as a hundred medicines, and a certain is borrowed from Ma Lao's wine for Ma Lao's longevity. ”

The old man didn't dare to say in a hurry, but he couldn't resist Wei Ye, so he had to do it in one bite.

Although in addition to the pork ribs brought by Wei Ye, there was only a plate of pickled leeks and a plate of soy beans on the table, which was really cold, but Wei Ye, a guy with a cheap tongue, persuaded him to drink and drink, but made a drink like a junior celebrating the birthday of the elderly. When the ribs brought by Wei Ye were stewed, the atmosphere on this low table was already quite lively.

Wei Ye, the scribe of the Shizhong Temple, even if he is just a temporary worker sitting on a cold bench in the system, is naturally good at mobilizing the atmosphere at the wine table. Even in the cold scene of light wine and pickles, between the bamboo and wine cups, the half-old Li Zheng and the scribe pretending to be old also had a slight touch of red on their faces.

At such times, people's conversation will always be aroused by alcohol, and vigilance will naturally be put into practice. The old hemp head finally put down the wine cup and began to ask a question that Wei Ye had wanted to ask since he entered the door:

"The third child, you are doing things in the public gate, and you are better informed than our little people. This mother-in-law of my family, listening to some rumors, was so scared that she went to the Taoist altar to ask for a peace charm for me to come back—even if it was to ask for peace of mind, how much would you tell us, okay?"

Wei Ye picked up the wine cup, slowly took a sip of light wine, and then sighed lightly.

The dead eunuchs who occupied the general trend of the political situation in Luoyang were fighting in the nest, while the relatives and ministers were licking the wounds caused by the party case, while accumulating strength to prepare for a counterattack, and Taiping Dao was planning a shocking blow in the heart of the Han Empire......

Under this three-way game, the three knives of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, the Northern Weicharen and the Taiping Dao Altar, which executed the will of the three parties, were all infiltrated by people with other arms and became demon knives with self-awareness and purpose. The smell of gunpowder in the air is as strong as a day, like a flour mill full of suspended particles, just waiting to touch a grain of spark, and then turn into a burst of fire—

These things, if you think about them, you can guess and deduce, but you can't do it to the ordinary people who are busy with three meals a day like the old man in front of them.

"There's nothing to say, adults and gentlemen are going to make a fuss. What can I think of, whether it is Ma Weng or Xia? Ma Weng, now I have no other way, I have three months' worth of grain and pickles, I have nailed the windows with wooden boards, and then I have blocked the door with a large jar of stones, and I will go into the cellar and stay in the cellar when there is any movement on the street. On the side, you can only look at the creation!"

After saying this, the little bit of enthusiasm just now disappeared. Both of them looked down at the wine and food in front of them, and it seemed that even the wine cup in their hands was cold!
