There are many treasures in this country

The sky was gloomy from the west, with a few wisps of purple clouds hanging in the dim light.

It's time to light the lanterns. Two water tank-sized Golden Dragon Palace Lanterns are hung in front of the grand and spacious Shangyang Palace. They light up gradually along the Tianjie.

The red and black marble surface outside the Linde Hall reflected two small inner eunuchs standing with their heads down, their crimson robes were robbed of their splendor by the light and shadow.

Huan Ye was wearing a black gold flying dragon robe, and was standing in front of the desk writing.The Xuancheng Zihao in his hand wandered back and forth on the Chengxintang paper in front of him, gradually forming the words "Four Seas Return to One".

Yan Jun bent over and waited aside, holding the ink pad, raised his head slightly and said, "The emperor's handwriting is getting better and better."

"When did Yan Qing learn to be so flattering?" Huan Ye smiled faintly, "When the late Emperor was around, he often said that my characters were loosely structured, and that they were tangible at first glance, but lacked charm, which was difficult to achieve."

Yan Jun smiled and said: "The depth of love is the depth of responsibility. The late emperor loved the emperor with all his heart, and his father's love was so deep that he treated the emperor so severely. If this word is not good, there really is no good word in the world."

Huan Ye gave him an inscrutable look: "This is not true. The person my father loves the most is obviously Uncle Qi. It is true that my writing skills cannot match his."

"Your Majesty," Yan Jun straightened up suddenly and looked into his eyes. "Only a subjugated king can practice good handwriting. Your Majesty is a wise man, so naturally he can't write thin gold style."

Huan Ye suddenly smiled, put down the pen, rubbed the ball of paper, and said, "I really saw good calligraphy today." Raising his hand, Shang Huai immediately presented a low-level familiar calligraphy.

"Seeing the characters is like seeing people. I ordered the Ministry of Rites not to allow them to transcribe the papers of the current subject, just to see the characters of the examiners. Although they could see them in the palace examination, most of the people were nervous, crooked is also normal, I probably can’t write well. It’s better to look at the characters written behind the back.”

Yan Jun raised his eyes and looked, only seeing the darkness, unable to read the handwriting clearly, he nodded and said, "The emperor has a unique mind and bright eyes, so he can naturally pick out good seedlings."

Huan Ye laughed mockingly: "This is the top paper in this subject. The essay is good and worthy of this rank. The writing is better than the essay, and I like it very much. It's just such a character, what a pity!"

"The first name in this department?" Yan Jun frowned, "But Xiao Suo Xiao Xiucai who was just imprisoned?"

With a black cloth hood over his head and a heavy wooden shackle on his neck, Xiao Suo stumbled into the dark dungeon.As soon as he fell on a piece of cold stone ground, the hood was taken off.In front of him were two jailers wearing official uniforms with knives at their waists, one was unshackled him, and the other was throwing him a uniform.

"Dare to ask the two officials, is this the prison of Yushi's Yamen?" There is not even a window here, only a few air holes in the roof, but it is not like the prison of Yushitai's elegant Yamen.

"Yushitai?" The two jailers seem to have heard some joke, "What are you thinking about! Is everyone eligible to enter the yamen of Yushitai? Even the prison of our Ministry of Criminal Justice, you can only stay here In the dungeon of the civilians, the door of the dungeon is not enough!"

Xiao Suo said dejectedly: "Yes, I was confused. Even if you are imprisoned, you still have to be classified into different classes."

"Okay, okay!" the jailer said impatiently: "There are so many people coming in, no one is more hypocritical than you! Hurry up and change into uniforms, and write to ask your family to pay the money!"

"Pay money?" Xiao Suo was stunned, what money should I pay?

The jailer said: "I said, are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid? Is this big prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice just for you to live in? Eat, drink, drink, brand-new uniforms, which one doesn't cost money? Tell you, if you don't pay money, you won't have food. Food delivery is not in the business here, and we won’t be responsible for starving you to death anyway!”

Xiao Suo suddenly felt embarrassed, Shen Yan went to the southeast to fight against pirates, the only person he knew in the general's mansion was Shen San, he was not very familiar with himself, so he might not be able to make a move, asking him to go somewhere to change money.

"My lord, the student is not from the capital city. He has no relatives, and his family is poor. He really has no money to hand over. Can you be accommodating and wait until the student's grievance is filed, and then make up for it?"

The jailer said: "You don't know the rules. You treat it as a vegetable market and let you pay on credit! When your grievance is settled, why don't you wait for the unicorn to lay eggs!"

Xiao Suo remained silent.

Another person said: "That's all, that's all. I think his clothes look like official brocade, so I quickly took them off and took them to the pawn shop for some money."

"Hmph!" The previous jailer sneered: "Wearing official clothes without money, literati are the most cunning!" After speaking, he forcibly took off Xiao Suo's outer robe and went away viciously.

Xiao Suo sighed, got up, took the prison uniform and put it on, barely blocking the cold air in the prison.

This cell is very tidy, with a plank bed in the corner, covered with a thin thatch mattress, and a plain quilt attached.There is a small table in the room, on which there is half a candle, and there is nothing else, it is really desolate.

He had just sat down when a voice suddenly came from the opposite side: "Hey, Xiao Suo, is that you?"

"Which one is your Excellency?" Xiao Suo was taken aback, he did not expect to meet an acquaintance in the prison.

"It's me, Ouyang Xu!" The man patted his chest in the dark, "I heard the voice sounds like it, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

Xiao Suo glanced through the iron-clad railing, and the eyes of the person opposite him really had a bit of Ouyang Xu's expression. "Brother Ouyang, even you were imprisoned!"

Ouyang Xu sighed: "Oh, don't mention it! It's all Li Fengcheng's fault. His death is a pain for me! I heard that the emperor ordered Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the fraud case of Jinke and arrested nearly a hundred people at once. Try it! How can God not have eyes, but I signed and stamped that petition letter, how can I still sue myself!"

"Brother Ouyang, don't worry, the adults who want to come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice will return our innocence. Since we are here, let's be safe!"

Today when Yan Jun brought the imperial decree to arrest Xiao Suo, he and a few servants were the only ones in the general's mansion. On November [-], Shen Yan went to Quanzhou to suppress pirates. Shen San'er went to the army and was not at home.

The official was not allowed to argue, and only read the arrest document once, and then put him in shackles and handcuffs.Xiao Suo was startled and anxious, and even at a loss for what to do. Suddenly he saw Yan Jun sitting on the horse with a cold face, and it was even more unclear—what did the cheating in this subject have to do with him? What does it have to do with Yan Yushi!

He didn't dare to resist the arrest, and thought that he was so clear-hearted that he was not afraid of being wronged for a while, and the Holy One would eventually return his innocence, so he only shouted a few words of injustice, and did not fight back.It's just that Xiao Suo originally thought that he was going to be imprisoned in Yushitai, but unexpectedly he was put in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

He never dreamed that one day he would set foot in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he came in this way.

The encounters in my life are really hard to express; it is really lamentable that good fortune tricks people!

Xiao Suo suddenly felt his heart calm down.When you know and stop, you will have steadiness, and then you will be able to be calm after steadiness.At this moment, all he knew was that Shen Yan would definitely come to save him, as usual.

Shen Yan is not in the future, he is on his way to Quanzhou Mansion at the moment, riding a horse swaying, walking, and reminiscing about the beautiful scenery that day and night, without knowing the ups and downs in the capital city.

On this day, when I traveled to the territory of Jianzhou Prefecture, I saw starvation and death all over the place, and people who were fleeing were everywhere. The situation was very miserable.

He ordered Eleven to inquire a little bit, and he found out that these people were fishermen along the coast, and they had to flee here to take refuge because they were robbed by pirates.

Shen Yan ordered all the troops to light a fire on the spot, unload the military pay to cook porridge for disaster relief, and found a gentleman who knew the book, wrote two letters on his behalf, and rushed into the city with a front post, one was forwarded to the prefect of Jianzhou, and the other was delivered to the prefect of Jianzhou. The postman came to Beijing to bring it to Yan Jun, and asked him to report the situation here to the emperor, and ask for payment by the way.

He left the Yuchi horse in the camp, took an old bay red horse casually, and took Shiyi for a walk into the city.At noon, there were not many pedestrians on the street, except for a stall surrounded by many people.

Shen Yan became curious, and moved forward with Shiyi to watch the excitement.It turned out to be a young man of sixteen or seventeen, with a weed mark on his head and he was selling himself.Eleven whispered: "Master, I've only seen women selling themselves, so it turns out that men do this too."

Shen Yan smiled and said: "Fool, if there are no men who sell their bodies, where did those young men in the restaurant come from? Could it be that everyone is a confiscated official slave? It's just that they come out to sell their bodies at such an old age. Rare."

He didn't want to attract attention, so he ordered Eleven to inquire.The latter squeezed into the crowd and whispered a few words to the man, only to see the young man suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to him.

"I asked you to ask about the situation, why did you get someone to kowtow to you!" Shen Yan was slightly displeased, "This kid broke his knees, it's your fault!"

Eleven muttered with his mouth open: "Master, you should ask clearly before it's too late to take pity on you! I didn't ask him to kneel, it was him who kowtowed and kowtowed endlessly when I asked him what was going on. "

Shen Yan tapped him on the head: "You talk a lot! What's going on, can you ask me clearly?"

Eleven said: "It's nothing unusual, he is also a refugee, and neither his father nor his mother will be buried, but he just can't survive, and wants to ask someone to buy him so that he can eat!" Turning his eyes, he said again: "Mr. , don’t worry about it! Our family already has one, if we add another one, we must fight!”

Shen Yan scolded: "What nonsense, how can Xiao Suo be compared with them! Even if you buy him, you will take him back to be a servant, not to mention when did you say you would buy him! Besides, who do you think you are? If you love one, take them all home!"

Eleven was dejected, feeling that he was extremely wronged. In the past, he just saw one and loved the other, but he didn't bring him home. It was because the spring breeze had no hope. I'm afraid that out of ten people who like this on the street, five would say Live with him like this.

He said sullenly: "Master, it's not good to be a servant. This man is not bad. As long as you take him home, he will be suspected of sweeping the toilet. Mr. Xiao must have something in his mind when he sees it. You'd better leave it alone. Listening to his words, it is so sticky, you can't shake it off!"

Shen Yan snorted, and said: "This general is living longer and going back, and now I am telling you to take care of yourself. But what you said is a bit unreasonable, so just ignore it!" Leading the horse for two steps, and then Turn around and tell him: "If you don't buy it, give me some money anyway. You go, quietly give him a few taels of silver, and don't make him stick to it!"

Nodding at eleven o'clock, I turned back again.

Here he is happy to do good deeds, but Xiao Suo's life is like a year and he is suffering extremely.

Originally, he had calmed down, but after a few days of being locked up, everyone was released one by one, and on the fourth day, even Ouyang Xu was released from prison.The jailer came over and over to release people, but there was no sign of his turn.

Xiao Suo couldn't sit still.

What shocked him even more was that he found that all the prisoners who came in were crowded together in a large cell, and he was the only one who lived in a single cell.

This does not bode well in prisons—especially in the prisons of the Criminal Ministry, where serious criminals are detained.

Xiao Suo probably spent all his luck when he met Shen Yan...
