The Days in Central Plains

Chapter 155: The most basic trust between people is gone

Views:

In the next two days, accompanied by Lu Dabao and Wuzhi County, I visited Dongping County together with Meng Heitan. Although Dongping County is not big and the scenery is picturesque, Meng Heitan is also happy after serving.

Song Qiufeng and I often discussed martial arts. Huashan School of martial arts has its own strengths and gained a lot in a few days.

Meng Yue asked me when I would return to Beijing. Meng Yue said it was better to go back to the city together, there was a caring on the road. I’ll play haha, it’s Meng catching my head to take care of me, but after I leave, I ask Brother Song to take care of my house. Song Qiufeng would not refuse.

Two days later, Meng Yue and I set foot on the road back to Beijing. Lu Dabao and others prepared souvenirs, but Meng Yue was really inconvenient to hold, so it was better to convert them into banknotes.

Just about to set off, Wu Zhixian asked, Brother Qin, your cousin Wu De is still in prison, you see

I slapped my forehead, you see my memory, I have forgotten it. Saying so and so, so and so to explain.

Back at the county jail, Wu Dese shrank and squatted behind a jailer to beat him back. I saw that he had come down for a few days and his face was yellow and thin, and he really suffered a lot. It seems that Wu Zhixian took care of him quite a bit.

Seeing the arrival, Wu De rushed over as if he had met his father, big cousin, come and save me!

I sighed deeply, brother, I tried my best! Wu De's face was dead gray, as if he had lost his soul. Today, I asked for a knife, and I had a lot of relationships before I came to give you a meal.

Na Lao Ba said, boy, decapitated rice, the last meal, don't eat white or eat, eat well and go on the road.

Decapitated rice, also known as the eight bowls, was originally a rule set by Zhao Kuangyin when he was the emperor to give humane care to death inmates. It's just that most of the death row inmates couldn't eat it. In addition, the prison head deducted food and silver, which was later reduced to four bowls, and then it was simply meat and vegetable. But in any case, wine is indispensable.

Wu De said, cousin, I used to do something wrong, and I have really changed my mistakes in the past few days. I really didn't kill anyone. Can you help me beg the master for unlawful favors

I said with a decisive look, we are brothers today, and we will still be good brothers in the next life! Here are your favorite scallions fried lamb and fried shrimps. Brother remembers that when you were young, you could eat three bowls of rice every time you saw these dishes.

Wu De looked at me whirling tearfully, unable to speak.

I comforted, eat, eat, and if you don’t eat, there will be no chance to eat.

As he said, he handed it up, Wu De picked up his chopsticks and shed tears. When he looked at the food, it was boiled rapeseed in white water, and said, Cousin, it's too vegetarian to eat!

It's okay, then have a drink!

Wu De picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, snorted, sprayed all over the floor! Brother, this wine is mixed with water a bit too much!

I told the cell boss, your meal is too bad. The head of the cell repeatedly pays no, blame me, blame me!

The head of the cell said that it was time, and said that the two dragged Wu De out of the cell, walked to the door of the cell, and shouted at the executioner, hand it over!

The executioner grabbed Wu De and shouted: Close it!

There are also knowledge in this. This kind of delivery must be made clear. If the cell boss says that it is handed over, the executioner confiscates it, and the prisoner smashes to death on the wall, then the responsibility is the cell boss. Therefore, whenever a sentence is executed, the prisoner must yell these two sentences.

Wu De was dragged out by the executioner without leaving his feet. Wu De was so frightened that he did not dare to take a mouthful. He was already limp and muddy, coming out of Baihumen to the execution ground.

Wu De looked at me and said, Brother, why don't you come to a robbery field? I said that as soon as I left the robbing field, there was no problem. Our relatives and neighbours were all suffering and suffering. You can bear it.

Wu De said, then you can just give me a good time.

Wu De was tied up by Wuhuada and escorted to the guillotine.

At three quarters noon, the executioner shouted that it was time! Wuzhixian sits high on the penalty platform, reaches out and picks up a writing brush, dips in cinnabar, and slaps it a little bit. Wu De, the audience, ask for cutting today! He said that he drew a cross on the name, folded it into a triangle, and stuck it upside down on Wu De's neck.

Wu De, do you have a last word to explain

Wu De said, Brother Executioner, be lighter for a while, don't kill if it's too troublesome.

Talking to Wu Demeng. The executioner took a sip of wine, shouted furiously, and asked to cut it!

Wu De was so frightened that he was limp on the ground, and even peeed in his pants. I laughed aloud beside me, Wu De took off his hood, and saw everyone else smiling at him. Am I not dead

Several relatives said, you are not dead! Wu De yelled at me, saying that good brotherhood is deep, and even the most basic trust between people is gone!

A group of people took Wu De back, no need to make detailed lists. In the afternoon of the same day, Meng Yue and I left Dongping County on horseback and set off for Beijing.

The parents gave away ten miles all the way, but Lu Dabao and Wuzhixian followed all the way. The father and son Liu Bancheng were also released a few days ago. Money can make a ghost. According to Meng Yue's private disclosure, their family spent at least fifty thousand taels of silver. I don't care about these, as long as they don't trouble our family, why do they live and die to me

Along the way, I chatted with Meng Yue about Lu Dabao and others. Meng Yue did not shy away from it. The official salaries of Ming Dynasty were extremely low. Although the imperial court issued three orders and five applications for **** and eight regulations, they were all enforced at the grassroots level. It's gone.

In three years, the prefects had 100,000 snowflake silvers, not to mention these old fritters in officialdom. In just a few days, Liu Bancheng's home was scraped three feet, and a small 100,000 taels of silver were collected.

No wonder the world wants to be an official. No matter how much this businessman can make money, even if Shen Wansi was rich in the past, he would not end up being confiscated by his family property and being assigned to the army by the Emperor Taizu. At that time, there were even some Fu Jia who had offended the government, and was tossed to death by a small nine-tier prefect. The ancients said that the prefects who ransacked their homes and the prefects who destroyed the door were not deceived by me!

Isn’t it the same for the Escort? Wasn't the Central Plains Escorts dominating the Escorts industry for several years by escorting the emperor merchants and emperor grains. It was only after the case of Zhao Tianhao, the former chief dart leader, who lost his dart, it gradually fell into decline.

Two days later, when we came to the Texas capital, Meng Heitan said that he wanted to see a few people and took me to go with him.

Dezhou is the place where the king of Qi Zhu Kuai broadcasts the feudal vassal. After the palace banquet, Zhu Kuai broadcast served as the director of the Tiandi Association crusade work committee. He launched a ruthless attack on the Tiandi Association in various states in the Central Plains. In all states, he can act cheaply, and his power is far. Above other vassals.

Among the fifty-four playing cards blacklist of the Tiandihui, except for the great king Huang Xiaoyu and other masters who were missing, the others were arrested or killed. Just as soon as the Tiandihui was removed, Manichaeism gained the benefit of the fisherman. It took the various industries of the Tiandihui under its name, and through a series of operations, the business license was reissued in the government and became a legal business.

Half a month after the martial arts conference, Xiaosheng Jianghu fully published the resolutions of the martial arts conference. Of course, the sanctions on the demon cult and the unpleasantness that occurred on the top of Taoshan were not mentioned. For the three words Qin Sanguan, there was no report at all.

Meng Yue did not go to the Dezhou government office, but took me to a silk and satin shop. The old shopkeeper saw Meng Yue and quickly let him into the inner room.
