Li Shi, who had been talking, shook his head and sighed. He sipped his wine. The wine was too strong. In order to save money, the people of the Ministry of Justice would deal with sweet potato wine. Li Shiwen was born and had always paid attention to the way of eating and drinking. But now it is not a time to choose from. Most people go to the execution ground, and at least there will be libations on the road to send wine to them. This is the last etiquette in the world. As long as the time is not missed, the escort prisoners will also call a taxi and stop, and at least say goodbye to the prisoners who were asked to kill and drink.

Li Shi knew that they had lost their reputation. Not to mention setting up wine to see them off, I guess they could have enough rotten eggs and rotten vegetables along the way. If I don’t eat and drink enough now, I will be a starving ghost on the way to the underworld.

Li Shi had never thought about these things before. Maybe he was still in his prime and never thought about when he would die. Now he knew clearly that he would not live for an hour. In order not to be a starving ghost, he had to force himself to do so even if he had no appetite. Fortunately, the soju was very strong, and after drinking a few sips, the subsequent generation was dizzy, and the frozen thought suddenly became clear.

At this time, when he heard the words of the martial artists, Li Shi suddenly said, "If Emperor Daxing was still in power, Zhang Han would have at most half of the country, and even the king to the north at most. If the current emperor was replaced, hehe, the country would be destroyed within one year!"

"What a slut!" He Renlong said dissatisfiedly: "Even if the emperor wants to cut off our heads, we will be defeated by ourselves. We have no complaints. How many bad things did you, Li Shi, help Wei Yan, do you and the wrong ones?"

Li Shi smiled and said, "You martial artists know nothing, but the emperor doesn't understand. If the eunuch party does, the same thing will be done by the Donglin group. The Ming Dynasty is a terminally ill patient. He will be treated slowly and hang with ginseng soup. He can still last for decades. The emperor is only seventeen, and he acts more than the emperor who is a big deal. After such trouble, a big deal has happened. It's a pity that the emperor doesn't think that he is too urgent and blames the people below. I've heard that

Yes, the Emperor was like this when he was in the palace. He acted urgently and was ungrateful and ruthless. When he encountered something, he told you that this smart man had room for bad things. At least he had room for compensation for this stupid man doing serious things. This stupid man would be hopelessly bad. Let’s take the lead. Look, there are countless people who will die on this Tianjie. Hehe, the Tianjie has all the bones of the nobles. I can’t see the day when the Ming Dynasty falls. But you can wait, it’s soon, it’s soon."

It seemed that there was a cold wind blew in the cell, freezing the cell into an ice cell. A group of martial artists were first told by Li Shi to be stunned, but then they couldn't help but curse.

The general family can be said to be in the same state as the country. Perhaps the senior leaders of these people are already considering how to contact Hutchison, but for these middle and lower-level generals, they are asked to insult the emperor and say that the country will definitely be destroyed within the next year, which is more than they can accept.

At this time, a group of prisoners broke in. Regardless of how everyone was eating and drinking, they immediately took away the wine pot and food box. Some of the military officers were drunk and wanted to scold them. However, He Renlong advised: "Forget it, why should the dying person fight with them? Be honestly tied up."

Everyone was taken out of the cell one after another. The prisoners tied each other up and then inserted a slashing card. This was all done according to the rules and everyone cooperated honestly.

He Renlong suddenly said to Xu Xianchun: "I heard that Lord Xu was carrying thousands of people, and he couldn't find a Hutchison man who dug three feet into the ground, nor did he find a single tael of silver. How could this job be done like this?"

Xu Xianchun's embarrassment spread throughout the capital and the northern prefectures within a few days. He Renlong and others learned about this magical story on the way.

In the north, who can't know about Hutchison? Who hasn't asked Hutchison to bring money, and who hasn't bought anything in Hutchison's store? In the northern provinces, Hutchison's passenger carriages have long become the best transportation tool. Hutchison's shops have all kinds of goods, with a wide variety and low price. The so-called quality is good and low, but that's just that.

Such a big deal, the shopkeepers and carriages all over the north, the number of shopkeepers and carriages disappeared overnight without a trace.

This certainly makes people feel shocked and admired. It is because Hutchison has been prepared for a long time, not so gentle and respectful. Zhang Han was forced to move to Xinpingbao and was placed under house arrest. The public opinion was of course inclined to sympathize with Zhang Han and Hutchison, which also included the soldiers of various military towns such as Xuanda Yansui. Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng took great pains to select subordinates. The main reason was that a considerable number of the original Xuanda garrison sympathized with Hutchison, and even stood aside with Hutchison in secret.

Now it seems that Hutchison is not as docile and helpless as it is. Hutchison's organizational ability, hidden ability, and the ability to dispatch personnel in a short time to cart, horse, cart, and silver are all shocking miracles.

Xu Xianchun was in trouble because of this incident!

After hearing He Renlong's words, Xu Xianchun smiled miserably, but his reply was quite sharp: "I also heard that your Xuan Bing, the strong soldiers raised by more than 10,000 people who spent millions of money on the court, were defeated by the peasant soldiers of Hutchison in the battle in Xinpingbao?"

The two looked at each other, and the Xuan Da generals around him also looked ugly, and everyone felt a sense of humiliation.

Of course, they were also afraid of beheading, but military generals were used to life and death, but they were not as scared as civil servants, and they could not walk the road. After drinking soybean wine, Li Shi couldn't stand firmly now. He was barely supported by several prisoners and was tied up. The other civil servants were not much better, and they all looked like they were lying on the ground.

The generals originally had a sense of superiority and looked down on these soft-legged shrimps. Now that Xu Xianchun's counterattack made everyone breathe harder.

"It's a miner." He Renlong said viciously: "If there are 20,000 farmers, no matter how capable Hutchison can't lead them to defeat our Datong Town soldiers."

Xu Xianchun originally wanted to ridicule a few words, but then several powerful hands grabbed him and someone started to tie him up. Xu Xianchun sighed and said, "No matter what, Hutchison and Zhang Han's ability are admirable. We will die in Zhang Han's hands regardless of what we do. We only hope that the Ming Emperor can cheer up, otherwise the country will be in danger."

Whether it was Xun's relatives or generals, they were unwilling to see the fall of the Ming Dynasty. After hearing Xu Xianchun's words, everyone was silent for a moment, but there was no time to give them any emotion. With all kinds of unwillingness and regrets, including Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun, and more than a dozen defeated generals in the Battle of Xinpingbao were all taken to Dongshi on October, on the day of heavy snow and ice.

Dozens of heads fell to the ground, blood burst out and the snow-covered land was dyed red. The people watching were not as many as they imagined. The weather was cold and the ground was frozen. Many people were worried about how to spend the winter and were not very interested in watching people. Even if they were killed, the high-ranking official Xian Jue, including Xu Xianchun, it was still not as important as a meal tonight.

...

In the dusk, Shi Congbin entered the city from Dongbianmen, passed Chongwenmen, walked west from Chongwenmen Street, and finally arrived at the entrance of the alley he wanted to reach.

The surroundings are covered with darkness. Beijing has not been peaceful these days, and the prices have increased, so many businesses have closed their doors early to avoid disasters from falling from the sky.

Due to the lack of constraints in the factory guards and Cao Huachun hated him so much that Hutchison, many merchants were in trouble. Many ordinary merchants, as long as they had any contact with Hutchison, were caught in the east factory, and had to take off a layer of skin and spend a lot of money to get it out. The streets were full of foreign soldiers. Although Shi Congbin was an outsider, he had fame and fortune to protect him, so he was not surprised when he entered Chongwen Gate. Some foreign merchants were spotted and a group of lieutenants surrounded him. Shi Congbin saw that the merchants were already scared to death and his face was pale. He knew that the smaller the courage, the easier it was to be blackmailed, but ordinary people had no choice but to shake their heads and sigh.

The Shi family originally had no mansion in the capital. Shi Congbin has done a lot of business in the capital in recent years, and the transaction went smoothly and made a lot of profits. Later, he took out money and bought this two-entry yard in Huaihua Hutong near Dengshikou. In Dongcheng, where every inch of land was worth every inch, the house also cost more than 2,000 taels, which was placed in the countryside to buy forty buildings of equal size.

When Shi Congbin entered the entrance of the alley, he subconsciously glanced at the big locust tree. It is said that this tree was planted when Chengzu started the capital, and only three or four people could embrace it. When the locust tree bloomed, the fragrance could be smelled in the dozen nearby alleys. There were not many trees in the capital, and when it bloomed, many people would always come to cook locust flowers and go home to eat pancakes.

When Shi Congbin thought of eating, he felt a little hungry. He came from Tongzhou and ate lunch early. It was very exhausting to travel. By this time, he was already hungry.

He clamped his legs and the horse walked in small steps. The snow in the alley was cleaned up, revealing the black and messy ground. Due to the cold weather, the deformed roads were frozen to the shape of the morning when they were thawed, forming black foot nests.

There were two lanterns hanging in front of the door of the Shi family, and the 20-step range was illuminated a little, so that everyone who came and went could borrow light.

This is also Shi Congbin's order. Two lamps are not much cost. It can light them up to everyone, so that local people can say a few more good things to the Kaifeng people who have just moved to, and the money will be worth it.

When Shi Congbin got off the horse and was about to enter the door, he saw that the door was hidden and several people were talking in the wing room next to the gate. The voice of his nephew Shi Kecheng came from inside.

"I'm sorry, my uncle is not here, my brothers live here for a while, and the situation in the mansion is not very clear..."

Shi Congbin shook his head when he heard this. His nephews, Shi Kefa, were brave enough to visit his teacher Zuo Guangdou at Jinyi Guard. This incident has spread, and Shi Kefa's image has increased greatly. Although he is just a juren, he is already famous all over the world.

Shi Kecheng is not good at all. He is honest and dull and can't even speak. However, he treats people sincerely and kindly. Such honest people are always not bad in the eyes of people, and people are willing to get along with people of such personality.

Shi Congbin opened the door and walked into the wing room. A brazier was built in the room. It was divided into two rooms inside and outside. The inside was Shi Kecheng's residence, and the outside was where he reads and writes.

Shi Kefa was frowning and sitting and writing, and ignored Shi Kecheng and the people who spoke. People knew that he was the candidate who came to Beijing to study and prepare for the next year's exam. The scholar had a big temper and the juren was even more unbearable, so no one bothered him.

Surrounded by several people were Shi Kecheng and the manager in the mansion. Both of them looked embarrassed. When Shi Congbin came into the house, they both showed a relaxed look.

"Uncle." Shi Kecheng stepped forward and bowed: "These neighbors came over and said they wanted to borrow money. They also said that they had had money deals with their uncle before, but they did not default, they were just nephew..."

Shi Congbin made a hand gesture to stop his nephew from being inappropriate, and turned to look at the neighbors who came to claim the loan.
