When the Li brothers were arrested, Wang Chang, who was in Xu County, received new news.
It was not the matter of the Li brothers and others, but the news from the emperor.
The celebration of Emperor Liu Xie has been generally determined. Not only will it hold the sacrificial rituals that are usually held, it also adds a new and important content. The Emperor wants to hold a prayer ceremony for the agriculture and sericulture, but also organizes people to reorganize books on the agriculture and sericulture affairs in Shandong!
The key point is the reorganization of this agricultural and sericulture book. It is said that it was derived from a "Sweeping Wind Record" written by a previously unknown Dong Yu...
"The Wind Patrol?" Wang Chang asked Wang He, "Have you heard of this person?"
Wang He shook his head and asked, "Do you want to report it?"
Wang Chang thought for a while, "This matter naturally needs to be reported, but there is no need to do it now..."
When Wang Chang delivered some experiences and stories from Guanzhong to Shandong, he felt that this was not a big problem and could not be called a sin at all. However, Dong Yu had never heard of it before, so he needed to report it.
This change derived from Dong Yu made Wang Chang feel that it is more worthy of follow-up attention.
Wang Chang felt that Emperor Liu Xie added this agricultural and sericulture link to the celebration, which was obviously to confront Qinglong Temple. This did not make Wang Chang feel very strange, because Shandong was indeed behind in many aspects this year. Not only in agriculture, but also in classics.
Previously, in Yingchuan, Shandong, there was a saying that it would introduce foreign talents, hold a grand ceremony as big as Qinglong Temple, and then open a school. But later, the grand ceremony seemed to have been held once or twice, and the so-called school fell into Yecheng...
This made the children of Shandong gentry very embarrassed.
Is it said that this great thesis was organized by the emperor's will? It was in Yecheng. I said that it was not, but it was indeed named the emperor.
So this time, is the so-called saints of agriculture and sericulture and book compilation of the so-called "Sheng" or "Cao Cao"?
After all, if the person in charge is different, the meaning of the event itself is completely different.
The two of them discussed for a while and found that based on some current news alone, they could not make a correct judgment, so they had to wait until the celebration to check it out...
As the envoy of the Guanzhong Cavalry, Wang Chang would definitely need to attend the celebration. At that time, he could observe Liu Xie and Cao Cao's words and deeds at close range, and then make a judgment.
While the two were discussing, Xu Ji, who had run outside whenever he had the chance in the past two days, came back staggeringly...
With the breath of balm and water powder, Wang Chang and Wang He immediately made fun of him.
Perhaps in the eyes of those who followed Cao, Xu Ji, he was a liar who was completely controlled by his lower body, and his brain was full of JY's martial arts. It is said that it caused a lot of complaints. After all, he saw others drinking flowers and hugging Mei Ji, and he was blowing the cold wind outside and eating dry cakes. No matter who had worked for a long time, he would complain.
Xu Ji was dissatisfied with the jokes between Wang Chang and Wang He. He laughed and said that he would give Wang Chang and Wang He a "pioneer scout" to inquire about the pros and cons of the red light in Xu County, and also made relevant recommendations...
No matter how much you make fun of, you still have to say the main thing.
After retiring and finding out that there was nothing around him, Xu Ju put away his slutty look, made a gesture, and briefly said: "It's done!"
Wang Chang and Wang He looked at each other, and they couldn't believe it.
『It's done? It's out?" Wang He asked, 『It's only been a few days, and he's moving quite fast...』
Xu Ji nodded and smiled, "This is difficult, it is easy to say, it is easy to say... The most important thing is to find a child that is almost the same... It happened that the weather suddenly became cold these days, and the weather was cold. Some poor families outside the city had frozen to death... These poor families were unable to bury them, so they could only throw them to the mass grave...
"Mass Furrow..." Wang Chang repeated in a low voice, and was speechless for a moment.
Generally speaking, the government only reports the death values ​​of the lower-level people and basically will not be announced. Even the emperors of the top class have nearly half of the abnormal deaths. Even among the emperors who died well, there are high risks such as assassination and poisoning all year round. The abnormal death rate of the second-level prince is far greater than that of the emperor. Then, even the grassroots people have a little turbulence, which is probably a catastrophe for grassroots families.
Overall, the climate of the Han Dynasty was relatively warm, and the people did not store much clothes to keep warm, and they were sleeping on the floor. Therefore, once it was cold, it would easily cause various problems, especially the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who were more likely to die under severe changes.
Of course, for these senior gentry and political leaders in Shandong, the life and death of the grassroots people is basically just a numerical value. It seems that it is enough if you need to understand and know it. As for the few words you can sigh, it is worth singing for thousands of years, indicating that you can see how considerate people are in the sufferings of the people...
『Is there no Sales Bureau in Shandong?" Wang Chang couldn't help asking, but after asking, he also reacted and waved his hand, 『It's okay, you continue to say...』
Wang He sighed aside. The more he understood Shandong, the more he felt that the gap between him and Guanzhong was too big.
Xu Ji nodded, his face, which was somewhat proud, also calmed down a little, and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, we are a step earlier... I heard that Prime Minister Cao was going to rectify the administration recently, and many people dared not accept money... I will probably not be able to handle it now... Moreover, the school secretary who arrested Kong Wenju's children has now gone to other places to arrest some of his accomplices. He is not in Xu County, so no one can verify the authenticity of it...
Wang Chang said oh, nodded, "That's really luck..."
Xu Ju nodded, but soon he said: "It's just that Prime Minister Cao is like this, it will be difficult for Kong Wenju to save him..."
This is the truth.
The changes in the upper political class are, the more sensitive the higher the level of the upper level. When it comes to the level of prison guards, it is already very lagging behind. Therefore, after Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun of Qiao County took action, it took some time to pass from top to bottom to the level of prison guards. Therefore, Xu Xu Ping and others have a way to get Kong Rong's child out.
As for the method of avoiding humans, it is actually very simple.
Because no matter whether it is a dead or a living person, they have to eat, drink, defecate, and even if the prisoner can be pulled on himself or in the cell, the prisoner can't hold the place where he stays like the prisoner, so there must be a thatched cottage in the prison. If there is a thatched cottage, there must be a manure truck to clean it, so just add a bottom floor under the manure truck...
The smell is a bit smelly, but because of the smell, no one goes to check it. Even if there is one, just a general glance, basically no one will deliberately use a manure spoon to mix it on the manure truck to check it. I have seen people using spears to rig fodder trucks and supplies trucks, but who would rig a manure truck with a spear?
Therefore, as long as people can be brought in and with the cooperation of the jailman inside, they can of course be brought out.
But the manure truck is a manure truck after all, and it is not very big in itself. In addition, it has to be made into a mezzanine. In fact, the space for hiding people is very limited. It is already the limit to hiding two children. It is impossible to hide adults again...
Wang Chang was silent for a while and said, "Send the two sons of Kong's family away first... As for Kong Wenju, it's all his power..."
…(^ω^`)…
Xu County Prison.
Kong Rong lies in the cell.
Logically speaking, Kong Rong's identity should have a cleaner and even more comfortable cell.
After all, from a certain perspective, Kong Rong should be considered a "political prisoner" rather than a murderer of some crimes.
But there isn't at the moment.
At the beginning, there were some preferential treatments, but soon because of Kong Rong's "unyielding submission", these preferential treatments were cancelled.
Although the prison head who manages the prison is still within his authority, he arranged a relatively better cell for Kong Rong, but no matter what, this ordinary cell is bound to have all kinds of blood, dirt, insects, and mice.
At the beginning, Kong Rong was really in pain.
He would rather stand than sit down.
Because there are bugs on the floor of the cell.
I won’t talk about common flies, fleas, lice, and cockroaches, and there are also those who don’t see Kong Rong in the sun, who like to live in humid places, moths, rat women, etc.
Kong Rong had never seen so many bugs before, nor had he seen a mouse who was not afraid of humans at all.
These mice all have red eyes and dirty fur, and they shuttle through the cell and crawl away on the human body.
But as time goes by, Kong Rong is exhausted in both spirit and body, sitting or even lying down seems to be no longer a problem that troubles Kong Rong.
In such an environment, Kong Rong suddenly understood a truth, that is, in prison, people can no longer be considered alone, but have become the same kind as these insects and mice. In prison, people are like insects and mice, living in dark and cold places, living unknown, and dying unknown.
Fortunately, his child was rescued.
Kong Rong knew that his child was innocent.
Everyone knows that his children are innocent.
But some people still arrested his child, with a simple purpose, just to make Kong Rong surrender.
Kong Rong refused to surrender for a day, so his child had to stay in such a cold, dirty, filthy, and full of insects and mice. He could see the child's pain, but could not give any care to the child, and even the verbal comfort seemed so pale and powerless. He was the child's father, but he caused the child to be imprisoned and joined the insects and mice.
Therefore, when someone secretly passes a message to him that he can save his child, he is willing to cooperate with him.
Then his child died and died in the cell.
Kong Rong looked at the two small, stiff corpses, then exhaled a long breath and closed his eyes steadily.
This is a damn era, and anyone will die...
It may include himself, but his children should not die.
Now, his child is saved.
Kong Rong slept very peacefully, as if the insects and mice around him had bypassed him and did not disturb his sleep.
It's dawn.
The clerk who was patrolling the prison cell came slowly.
Little officials usually don’t come early because the smell of the cell is really not very good. For a person who can breathe fresh air outside and eat a normal diet, it is undoubtedly a major test to get into the cell after eating early. Not everyone can be so dedicated day after day, so these people will only go to the cell to count the list when it is almost noon and the yang energy is abundant.
Although the minor officials would not make things difficult for Kong Rong, occasionally putting a cup in front of Kong Rong will undoubtedly make these minor officials feel happy in life. After all, if it weren't for Kong Rong's difficulties, it might not even be aware of how difficult it is to meet Kong Rong on weekdays.
Therefore, when the little official slowly walked to the cell not far from Kong Rong's neighbor, where Kong Rong's children were imprisoned, he originally thought that he could hear Kong Rong's plea, such as giving his children some food and drink, etc., and then he could choose one of the two choices of righteousness and pretending to be helpless...
"Where is the law of the court..."
"I am also a person who obeys the orders..."
Which one should I use today?
While the little official was thinking, he suddenly felt that the surrounding area was too quiet.
The little official was stunned for a moment, and then found that not only Kong Rong's two children were lying on the ground of the cell, but Kong Rong was also lying down, with only some rustling sounds around him, and the sound of prisoners shouting at prisoners in the distance.
Suddenly, as if something heavy hit the little official's heart, he couldn't help but scream and asked the prison guard to check the situation of Kong Rong and Kong Rong's children in the cell.
The jailer came in a hurry, opened the cell and went in, then came out soon, pointed to the cell and said, "Qi Bijuan, this... is dead..."
"What's dead?!" The prison official rushed in and saw the corpses of the two children.
A gray complexion, a distorted face, and filth contaminated the face and body, and corpse spots appeared on the exposed blue-black skin.
The prison official is not a coroner. He is not very interested in corpses. He is as disgusted and afraid as ordinary people. In addition, if Kong Rong and his family are dead, then as the one who is responsible for counting prison prisoners every day, he will have to bear some responsibility. So in panic, he did not take a closer look at the child's appearance. He just depends on the clothes outside the corpse to determine...
"Why did you die? How could you die?!" the little official shouted.
The prison guard was roaming his eyes, "Probably... it's frozen to death. The temperature has dropped in the past few days, and there is no warmth in the cell... Two or three people have also frozen to death in the cell in front...
"Frozen to death?" the clerk screamed, "Then why don't you give them bedding?!"
The jailer waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Mai Dian said this, is it because you want to frame me? Isn't this what you said?! You said you wouldn't give it, how dare we give it privately?!"
"I... have I said it?" The prison official lowered his face.
The prison guard said, "Two days ago, Kong Beihai said, please ask these two children to have cold clothes and quilts, and then what do you say about the prison sentence... Well, "Where is the law of the court, how can there be a private relationship with each other?" Then he said that he would report to the process. You said this loudly, and it was buzzing in the prison cell, and I could hear it in the vestibule!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I heard it too..." Another prison guard was also helping him.
"Uh...you, you..." The little official didn't know what to say for a moment.
He seemed to have said this two days ago. He said he wanted to report it, but he forgot it.
Who would have thought that the cooling suddenly dropped in the past two days?
"Where is Kong Wenju?!" Compared to the life and death of these two children, the prison official cared more about Kong Rong's life and death, because it is obvious that Kong Rong himself is the most important. Could something happened to Kong Rong, right?!
The jailer went to check Kong Rong again, and then said, "Alive... Kong Beihai is still alive...I'm just asleep..."
"Are you asleep?" The little official couldn't help but feel a little angry when he breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s all the fault of Kong Rong’s family!
If Kong Rong hadn't messed up, could these things happen? If Kong Rong had pleaded guilty earlier or "understood" the truth earlier, Kong Rong's child would not have suffered, and would not have made him slutty at the moment!
"Kong Wenju!" The minor official arrived at Kong Rong's cell and shouted loudly, "Your child is dead! You killed your child! Look! They were implicated because of your crime! If it weren't for you, they wouldn't be here, and they wouldn't be frozen to death! Now they are dead! They are all because of you! Look! Look! You can still sleep peacefully?!"
The prison official said this, of course, mainly to clear his responsibilities. After all, the weather is cold and the old, the weak and the sick are dead. God is taking over people, and it has nothing to do with him, such as the minor officials.
Who told Kong Rong to be careless?
Who made Kong Rong ignorant?
It’s all Kong Rong’s own fault!
The children are dead, Kong Rong is still sleeping peacefully?!
The prison official jumped and shouted, but he didn't expect that Kong Rong just looked over there blankly. He had neither emotional excitement nor sadness. He just glanced at him and said nothing, and then turned around and turned his back to the little official and the corpse over there.
"Ah?" The prison official was stunned. He didn't expect Kong Rong to react like this. "Kong Wenju, you...you...you...can't be crazy...your child is dead, do you know?"
Kong Rong didn't look back, and after a while, he said calmly: "I understand."
"Ha?!" The prison official looked around and seemed to suspect that he had heard it wrong, "As a father, why did your child die...you, you are not sad at all? You were disloyal to the court, but now you are so indifferent to the life and death of the descendants...you, you..."
"Haha...father-son love..." Kong Rong was silent for a long time, and then suddenly burst into laughter, as if he was a little crazy, "What should the father have to be with his son? In terms of his original intention, it is actually a desire. Why does the son do to his mother? It is like a place where he is sent to his body, and he will be separated! He will be separated!"
Chapter completed!
