Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

"how's it going?"

Master Li asked expressionlessly.

At this moment, she had put on a wide blue monk's robe and a flat gray monk's hat, covering her black hair tightly. She was holding a whisk in her right hand and a string of red beads in her left hand. She was dignified and solemn, and her whole body was full of emotions. It is filled with a sense of alienation that excludes people thousands of miles away, and there is no trace of the frivolity and dissipation in the magnificent palace.

There was a coffin in front of her, and inside lay an old man with a slightly sunken head.

The old man is not dead, his chest is still heaving, but anyone can see that his death will be today or tomorrow.

He turned around suddenly, his eyes flashing coldly, making everyone standing in the hall tremble involuntarily.

In the huge Mahavira Hall, except for the golden Buddha statue, everything that could be moved was moved away. Not even a futon was left.

Instead, there were hundreds of nuns and guards dressed in black.

The atmosphere is oppressive and you can hear a pin drop.

No one dared to answer her question.

"Seal down the entire Changzhou Prefecture. If you can't catch it, just go to Tai Lake to feed the fish yourself!"

The so-called pork noodles are actually a type of rotten pork noodles.

Not chunks of good meat, but scraps cut from other meats.

So the price is very cheap and the quantity is large.

After all, it is not easy to eat scraps and rotten meat these days.

Of course, this is what the poor eat.

The rich people only order braised pork and fine grains. If they feel thirsty, they can warm up two or three bowls of wine. If they are drunk, the big car shop can still earn another accommodation fee.

Sitting in the corner of the big car shop, eating noodles, Wu Gong looked at the people in the shop.

It's not dark yet, but people are already drinking.

Several muscular men with round waists were sitting in another corner of the room, drinking wine and shouting loudly.

The shopkeepers and clerks of the big car shop seemed to be afraid of them, but they also had indescribable disgust and helplessness in their eyes.

It seems that he hates them making loud noises in his store, but he doesn't dare to offend them too much.

The surrounding guests also looked disgusted. No one wanted to sit around them, but no one wanted to meddle in their own business.

After all, it's better to get into less trouble when you're out and about.

Wu Gong naturally had no intention of meddling in other people's business. He was thinking about which way he should go.

I just checked with the waiter and found that he has actually reached the edge of Wuxi County.

Keep walking eastward along this road and you will reach Zhenjiang Mansion.

And if you go west, you will reach Jiankang Mansion, which is Jinling.

Wu Gong checked his position slightly.

He decided to continue walking eastward.

Seeing that no one noticed his side.

Wu Gong took out the long note from his arms and prepared to memorize the topics on it and then burn them.

But the more I looked at him, the more I felt something was wrong, and at the same time, intense cold sweat began to break out on my forehead.

He had discovered that he seemed to have guessed the identities of the people at the table incorrectly.

Because the test questions from Wuxi County were not the only ones on the long post, but all the scientific examination questions from all the counties and prefectures along Liangzhexi Road were written on that long post.

This is simply not something that the academic administration of a county government can grasp.

After reading all the content on the long post, Wu Gong knew that he was in big trouble.

No wonder the other party is so nervous.

It turned out that this examination fraud actually involved the entire West Zhejiang Road, seven states, and more than ten prefectures and counties.

If a county's test questions are leaked, it can be solved by replacing the test questions.

Anyway, the provincial examinations are all test questions set by the local government, and they do not need to be very rigorous. It is normal to change the test questions before the test.

But if all the test questions from Liangzhe West Road were leaked, everything would be different.

There were some important state capital examination questions that were to be reported to the imperial court. If they were changed rashly, the officials below would have no way of explaining it to the higher authorities.

Once suspicion is aroused and someone from above comes up to investigate, who knows how many people will lose their heads.

Rather than taking the risk of changing the topic and taking back this long post, killing someone and silencing them is the best choice.

Wu Gong felt like he had a hot potato in his hand.

He didn't dare to look at it anymore and hurriedly put it in his arms.

He thought his actions were very secretive.

Unexpectedly, before he raised his head, a smelly palm touched the long post in his arms.

Wu Gong raised his eyebrows and ducked back. He looked up and saw a face full of flesh.

It was none other than the drunkard on the table not far away.

This guy was originally a yamen servant in the government, but he was dismissed because he was drunk and causing trouble.

He had seen this kind of official document and long post when he was working as a yamen servant. He accidentally saw Wu Gong take out the long post and looked at the little beggar. His whole body was in tatters and his face was gray. , so he took action to snatch the long post.

"Hey, you dare to hide! What good things are you hiding? Let me see!"

Wu Gong felt a little funny in his heart. Could he have encountered such a bloody thing?

He hurriedly said with a smile: "There is no good thing. This is just a little wine money. Please treat me with a noble hand."

He took out a couple of pieces of silver from his pocket and handed it to the drunk man in front of him.

The drunk man's eyes lit up.

Greed flashed in his eyes.

He took the silver and waved it in his hand for a while, and finally pointed at the drunken men on the table behind him: "Where are these uncle's brothers?"

You ungrateful animal?

Wu Gong's hand had already touched the dagger. He put away his smile and said, "One tael of silver is a lot."

"I can't say enough!"

The drunk man laughed wildly and reached out to pull Wu Gong's collar. At the same time, he also attracted the attention of other people in the car shop.

Wu Gong sighed and was about to take action, but he didn't expect a sound to come from the next table.

"The criminal law of the Song Dynasty stipulates that anyone who robs more than three taels of silver will be punished by death. If you robbed one tael of silver, how many times should you die?"

The drunk man was stunned, his palms hanging in the air.

He was born as a yamen servant, how could he not know about this punishment?

But, how many people abide by this set of punishments now?

Turning around, he saw a handsome young man wearing a yellow silk gown. His skin was as fair and tender as a woman's, and his features were delicate and delicate.

Or perhaps it should be better described as oily hair and powdered noodles, a typical look of a young man from aristocratic family.

Seeing someone coming forward, the drunk man immediately focused his attention on him.

"Where did this pretty boy come from? What does it have to do with you if I teach a little beggar a lesson?"

Judging from your oily hair and pink face, you can’t be a rabbit, right? "

Wu Gong also silently put away the dagger.

If you want to leave now, you will definitely not be able to leave, so you can only see if you can find an opportunity to escape later.

After auscultating those disgusting words, the young man in yellow shirt immediately frowned, grabbed the bench beside him and threw it over.

The drunk man didn't expect that he would make a sudden move.

Inadvertently, he was smashed and fell to the ground.

The damage wasn't serious, just a little bit of skin on his forehead.

But the drunkard was used to being domineering and tyrannical, and he felt that his prestige was damaged, so he immediately called on his brothers to attack him.

Seeing the young man being surrounded, Wu Gong sighed that there were still many good people, tightened his belt and walked towards the outside of the big car shop.

The shopkeeper was about to cry but wanted to stop him. This big car shop was his hard work.

If he was beaten to pieces, he would have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind.

But he didn’t dare to get close, so he could only say stop fighting from a distance, stop fighting.

No one noticed Wu Gong running away.

The handsome young man was one against many but didn't panic at all. He didn't even stand up. With every move of his hands and feet, the shadows of his fists were flying all over the sky.

Seven or eight people besieged him, but they did not gain the upper hand at all.

Anyone could see that he was showing mercy, otherwise, these seven or eight drunkards would probably be lying on the ground moaning.

However, the drunkards also got angry, and instead of using their bare hands, they picked up the bench, and the scene immediately escalated again.

As soon as Wu Gong reached the door, he suddenly turned around and blended into the crowd.

It wasn't his conscience that noticed it, but a group of men in black came outside the door.

He recognized the clothes these people were wearing.

It was the same group of people who were chasing him during the day.

Wu Gong felt bitter in his heart.

If he had known earlier, he should have eaten the rotten meat noodles and run away, and should not have stayed here too long.

Now I am stuck in this big car shop, with no place to hide.

At the same time, seeing seven or eight benches being drawn toward him, the handsome young man no longer held back his hand, and a bronze cigarette rod that was made into a piece of steel came out of his sleeve.

The cigarette rod was obviously made of metal, but in his hand it seemed as weak as a strip of cloth, circling and flying.

Just hearing a few dull sounds of "dong dong dong", these drunkards covered their heads and lay on the ground groaning. The benches in their hands flew everywhere, knocking down several onlookers.

Coincidentally.

The leader of the men in black had just stepped into the big car shop when he saw a bench and hit him on the head.

He immediately squatted and jumped back, and then a cold light flashed in his hand, and the entire bench was split into two in the air.

She slowly put away the knife and looked around the big car shop, and immediately understood the cause and effect.

The handsome young man accidentally injured the crowd.

Quickly clasp your fists to apologize.

Especially the leader in black who was slashing the bench with his knife.

"It doesn't matter!"

The leader in black didn't mean to cause trouble. He waved his hand casually, then took out the portrait, jumped up on the table, and said to everyone in the store: "Here, the Liangzhe West Road Transfer Order, wanted criminals , whoever provides information will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver once it is confirmed, and whoever captures the key criminal alive will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. If he does not report the information, once he is discovered, the three tribes will sit together."

His words immediately attracted the attention of the entire car shop.

People rushed to look at the portrait in his hand.

He is a fairly handsome young man, he feels like he is only eleven or twelve years old.

How could such a child be a wanted criminal?

While talking, another man in black had posted a wanted notice at the door of the big car shop.

The shopkeeper of the big car shop was so painful that he almost wanted to cry, but when he saw this wanted notice, he was stunned.

This face looks very familiar.

But for a moment I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

Scratching his head, he turned his eyes to the table in the corner.

He suddenly woke up and immediately said to the leader in black: "Sir, I have seen this person."

"Um!"

The leader in black was delighted.

Could it be that this huge credit is going to fall on me?

"Which direction did it go?"

"He's dressed like a beggar, and he was eating noodles in my shop just now!"

The shopkeeper of the big car shop pointed to the unfinished noodle bowl in the distance and said, "I don't know where it is now, but it shouldn't be far away!"

"Search!"
