A world of glory

The sunlight passed through the gate, casting golden spots. Seeing the jailer who came up to meet him, Zhang Xiancheng only slightly nodded, and asked casually: "How are the two adults doing in the cell?"

Hearing Zhang Xiancheng's words, the jailers glanced at each other, the leader rolled his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "I have orders from adults, so the younger ones naturally dare not neglect the two adults."

Zhang Xiancheng smiled, and said to these yamen servants: "Even if I don't give orders, you don't dare to neglect the two adults. After all, Lord Li treated you well in the past."

Those jailers smiled embarrassingly, and replied: "The adults are joking, how dare the young ones do that."

The corner of Zhang Xiancheng's mouth twitched, showing a sneer, as if unintentionally said: "Are you still afraid?"

As soon as the words came out, the temperature in the cell seemed to drop a bit suddenly, and the jailers shrank their necks, lowered their heads and stopped making any sound.Zhang Xiancheng didn't realize it, he just flicked his sleeves and walked in.

After walking for a not too long distance, Zhang Xiancheng moved his nose and smelled a faint fragrance. He frowned and asked the jailers, "Where did the fragrance come from?"

Hearing the words, the jailers secretly thought it was bad, but they dared not answer, so they had to bite the bullet and replied after careful consideration: "Perhaps it is the incense from Mr. Li. Mr. Li said that the incense is not burnt." , the humidity in this prison is too high, he is afraid of making his legs and feet hurt."

Zhang Xiancheng snorted coldly, and only said: "He likes to be fastidious, and when he goes to the execution ground tomorrow, it seems that sandalwood will have to be found for this coffin."

Hearing these jailers sweating coldly, I couldn't figure out what the county magistrate was thinking. The two adults who were imprisoned were also very strange. Looking at the idle books, he looked leisurely and content, as if he didn't care about what the new county magistrate said.

Hearing the footsteps, the county lieutenant Li Jinxiu, who was biting the chicken leg, raised his eyes and looked towards the place where the sound came from. He saw a corner of the official robe, and his face showed a little joy. sank.

Li Jinxiu threw down the chicken leg, wiped his hands with a woven gold handkerchief, and put his hands on the iron railing in a strange manner, and said, "My lord, the magistrate, is here to be polite."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a sip and said to himself: "Where did the stench come from? It must have stinked this cell."

Zhang Xiancheng's expression changed, but he suppressed it at the moment, and said with a smile: "I don't know Mr. Li, how are you doing in prison these few days?"

Li Jinxiu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, just smiled and said: "Why is it not good, there is wine and meat to serve, but there is no singing girl playing the piano and singing, it is a bit lonely."

After saying this, Li Jinxiu threw away the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "The county magistrate came to live in this shabby room, what's the matter?" At the end, he added, "Everything is really not going well today. !"

Zhang Xiancheng's face became more and more gloomy, but suddenly he smiled slightly, and said: "Master Li is right, everything is not going well today, and the only thing to do is to kill."

Li Jinxiu's face turned pale, and he said in a little haste, "You...you, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Xiancheng smiled more cheerfully, and said casually: "It's nothing, just inform Mr. Li that the approval document from the Ministry of Punishment has come down, and Mr. Zhou copied the family's punishment. As for other people, I don't need to say more."

Hearing Zhang Xiancheng's words, even Li Jinxiu had confidence in his heart, and panicked, he just said: "You... nonsense..."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he heard the voice of Cao Hewen, the director of the prison not far away: "But Mr. Zhang is here, please come over."

Zhang Xiancheng raised his hand towards Li Jinxiu, and walked forward with a smile. After a few steps, Zhang Xiancheng arrived in front of the cell where Cao Hewen lived. With a little pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Zhang Xiancheng couldn't help but sneered and said, "Lord Cao is really in a good mood."

Cao Hewen glanced at Zhang Xiancheng, and said indifferently: "I can't compare with Mr. Zhang's interest. I watched it today, but I saw Mr. Zhang's high spirits. I think there must be a lot of good things recently. Otherwise, how can I be so happy."

Zhang Xiancheng's complexion changed slightly, and he only smiled and said: "It's not a good thing, but life is quite comfortable. Today is free, so I came here to see how the two adults are doing. I don't know if these jailers are negligent. place."

What kind of person is Cao Hewen? He also came from a small official background and got up step by step.When it comes to observing words and expressions, he is naturally an expert, not to mention, Zhang Xiancheng is proud of the spring breeze, and there is a little emotion in these words from time to time. He only heard this sentence, and he knew that Zhang Xiancheng's visit was fake, showing off and watching The joke is true.

But Cao Hewen was not angry, he just smiled and said: "It's Lord Lao Zhang who cares. The criminal officials and others are very safe here, and the officials in the prison are very considerate in taking care of them."

The tone is gentle, as if he is not in prison, but a guest at someone else's house, with a polite tone.

Zhang Xiancheng didn't take it seriously, and just smiled and said: "It's good for Mr. Cao to feel safe. Anyway, we have worked together for so many years. If there is anything inappropriate, just ask. I can't help Mr. Zhou. But here, Mr. Cao and Mr. Li, if I don't do my best, then I will feel sorry for myself."

Cao Hewen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang was joking, the criminal officer and others were confused for a while, and committed a heinous crime. Now in this prison, I can still be taken care of by Master Zhang. I am very grateful. What can I say?" Regenerate other extravagant hopes."

Zhang Xiancheng heard Cao Hewen's flattery, although he knew that Cao Hewen had something to say, he still couldn't help but smiled and squinted his eyes, and said half seriously and half perfunctorily: "I don't dare to do it, I can do it." It's just these things, so that you adults can live a more comfortable life, so that you don't have to face the end, you have to suffer a little bit, just like what happened to Lord Zhou's family, I can't bear to see you again."

Cao Hewen smiled, he knew what Zhang Xiancheng was talking about for a long time, but he didn't mention it, just smiled and said: "Master Zhang has a kind heart, and the criminal officer is also grateful, now here There is nothing else to repay in a square inch of land, so I have to recite the Buddhist scriptures of the Taoist chapter a few more times, hoping to eliminate disasters and difficulties for adults, and seek blessings."

Regardless of the tone, the meaning of these words is very clear. After listening to others, it is inevitable that Mr. Cao has committed a serious crime, but he has a good heart and knows how to repay his kindness.

But this county magistrate has been with Master Cao for a long time, and he doesn't think that his act of reading a joke can touch his deadly enemy. I'm afraid Cao Hewen's recitation is not Daozhang Buddhist scriptures, but curses, and what he's asking for is not What a blessing, but a disaster.

Come to think of it, there are quite a few people talking about him in this prison, but everyone is cursing Zhang Ziye's family to be ruined and ruined, and it is best to die tomorrow without a whole body.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiancheng not only lost his good mood, but also didn't want to fight with Cao Hewen any more, so he just twitched the corner of his mouth, corrected the expression on his face and said: "Okay, okay, there is no need to gossip Well, I came here today, but I have something serious to tell you. Regarding the case of Zhou Xinhe's assassination of the county magistrate, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has approved the official document. , The sales that should be sold are now in order. Wait for a few more days, and I think other official documents should come down, I just want to say one thing, now there is still time to turn around."

The shadows of flowers, green shade trees, a few poles of emerald green bamboos, and a few osmanthus osmanthus are dotted among them, and the beautiful women come and go, and the fragrant clothes explain their words. If it weren't for the warm sun in the east, it might be that Chang'e has changed the world and the sky.

Because of the calculations in his heart, Qin Yi put in a lot of effort and was busy with the official duties of the yamen for a few days. Now that he has some free time, he just tilted his head and fell on the soft couch. No sound.

The curtain moved slightly, a slender hand opened the bead curtain, and looked up, but Lanyue looked in. She glanced at Qin Yi, and was about to speak, when she turned her eyes to the two little maids.

The two little maids understood, and only shook their heads slightly towards Lanyue, then lowered their heads again.

Lan Yueliu frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, lowered the curtain, her dress moved slightly, as if she had gone out again.

All kinds of lanterns were hung on the trees all over the garden. He Zhu led a group of little maids, carrying a few boxes, and walked towards Xi Cui Xuan.

The wind is slight, the sun is lazy, and it makes people's hearts warm. It's so warm that people just want to find a place to sleep with their clothes on, regardless of the day and night, and not stained with the world.

Falling red reflects the water, stained like tears, a few petals fell into the water, causing a few fish to spit out a blister curiously, clustered together for a while and then dispersed.

"Xiaoyou, look at that golden fish, the scales on its body are so beautiful." A little maid exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the fish floating on the water.

"There is a black tail over there, with golden scales on its body. It looks really majestic, as if the scales can glow." The little maid who was called by the little maid also came over and pointed curiously.

"And here, here are a few white tails and a few red tails, swimming together like a flower." The other little maid shouted happily.

A word from you, a word from me, is much more cheerful than the fish swimming in this pond, He Zhu couldn't bear to stop drinking, just smiled and watched the little maids chatting and laughing, and answered each other from time to time. A word or two.

After looking at the fish for a while, a little maid suddenly said worriedly: "These fish are so beautiful, but just now I heard from my sisters that I want to put lotus lanterns in the pool, and there are candles and fires. Hurt the fish in the pond."
