little fool's child bride

There are only a few companies that can use such tricks against Xiao Xiao, but he dares to offend none of them.However, he couldn't help but watch Xiao Xiao being murdered to death. After all, it was thanks to Xiao Xiao that he could still sit in this position.Hong Zhifu was very entangled, he raised and lowered the pen in his hand, and accidentally dripped a flower of ink on the white paper.Seeing that it was almost dawn, Hong Zhifu gritted his teeth, picked up a brush and began to write Wanmin Shu.

"The government has posted a new notice! The government has posted a new notice!"

The children clapped their hands and yelled loudly, attracting a lot of passers-by ordinary people, and after the officials and lords left, they quickly surrounded them.They are illiterate, but there are literati who are so good to stand up and read for them: "Notice—Xiao Xiao, a person from Ancheng, invented the method of inoculating vaccinia and the eight precepts and eight rules to prevent and control the epidemic, and invented the cement road to bring Ancheng to Xiangcheng. The delivery time of the supplies was cut in half, and the Liannu was invented to resist the grassland army, which played a vital role in the Battle of Xiangcheng..."

"Praise our Mr. Xiao?" Someone couldn't help interjecting.

"It's really a rare talent—" the literati continued to read, and the passers-by who were watching showed a look of pride, and they already believed in their hearts that this was probably written by the prefect to praise him.However: "However, Mr. Xiao was framed by a traitor today, and now he is being held in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After half a month, he will be punished by Ling Chi - how is it possible! How could Mr. Xiao be locked up!"

The onlookers also made noises one after another, all of them did not believe that Xiao Xiao would commit a crime.

"How can Mr. Xiao be such a criminal! He won't even accept my two eggs!"

"That's right! The magistrate asked Mr. to step on the cement road first, or Mr. said that we can't hinder the lives of our people, so let us go first!"

"Every time my husband comes to my tavern to buy wine, I try my best to charge less, but at the end, my husband finds out, and gives me more money every time he comes back, saying that he can't let me suffer—how can such a person commit a crime!" the waiter of the tavern Filled with righteous indignation, "Mr. must have blocked the way of some people, so they framed Mr. and wanted Mr.'s life! None of those officials are good people!"

The people around were also angry when they heard that, even if they were going to Hong Zhifu to petition for Xiao Xiao, some people even planned to pack their bags and go to Wangcheng after returning home.When the literati saw this, he immediately stopped the hotheaded everyone: "You can't say that, no, prefect Hong is trying to figure out a way for this matter."

"What Hong Zhifu means is that we get the Wanmin Book out, and then he sends people to Wangcheng and hand it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so that the emperor can see it. This is much more useful than us kneeling at the gate of the palace."

"Then how do you write the Wanmin Book?" Everyone looked at the literati blankly.

"The Book of Wanmin has been written," the literati took out a piece of white paper one foot wide and seven feet long from his pocket, "Now all you need is to sign your names."

The common people gathered around the literati one after another. Those who could write their names wrote their names, and those who could not write their names let the literati write it for them. After a while, they wrote three or four lines.The notices were posted in the busiest places, and these people gathered together naturally attracted many passers-by. After they asked what happened, they all joined the team to defend Xiao Xiao.In this way, the continuous addition of newcomers kept the literati busy until the night when they could no longer see them. After making an appointment with the rest of the people to continue tomorrow morning, the literati walked to Hongyuan with the first half-finished Wanmin Book in their arms.

"How about it?"

As soon as the literati walked to the door, Hong Zhifu couldn't wait to come out of the garden, and took the Wanmin book that the literati handed him.Seeing that Wanmin's book was half completed, Hong Zhifu was very happy, and walked to the garden with the literati in his arms, insisting on keeping him for dinner.

"It's hard work for you," Hong Zhifu looked at the nephew with relief, and then patted his hand worriedly, "But like I said, ordinary officials are not as good at talking as you literati. There are so many signatures today. But this is far from enough, and there may not be so many people tomorrow. I will send some people to accompany you tomorrow, and you go to a few big teahouses in the city. Send it back as soon as possible, and then get a new one to continue. The more of these, the better... Otherwise, not only Xiao Xiao's life will be lost."

"Nephew." The literati nodded, he already knew the stakes from the magistrate.For Hong Yun, who is attached to the magistrate's uncle, it is impossible for him to stand idly by, but—"Uncle has decided to join the prince's side?"

Hong Zhifu shook his head and just sighed: "In this officialdom, apart from those big shots, we don't have any choice."

Hong Yun didn't understand, and looked at prefect Hong suspiciously.Hong Zhifu filled the wine glass, then drank it in one gulp, stared at Hong Yun and said bitterly: "You should be sensible! Now that you have left the academy, follow me to do things, and you can always understand these things. There is no truth in the book. Now the matter of Xiao Xiao is beyond my ability to refuse. There is pressure from Lord Ze and the prince on the top, and the demands of ordinary people on the bottom, so I have no way to stay out of it. I have been neutral for so many years, but in At this time of power iteration, if you continue to be neutral, you can only retire early and return to your hometown..."

It's not that Hong Zhifu is not afraid of the tragic death of his daughter happening again, but he knows that for someone like himself who has long been classified as a princeling, if he doesn't stand in line sooner, he will die faster and worse.At first he thought that he was just discussing business with the prince—or the second prince, but who would have thought that the prince would leave so suddenly?The identity of the second prince is sensitive. Maybe he has been secretly monitored by the emperor since he first came to Ancheng to see him. Later, his various protections for Xiao Xiao are said to be pity. In the eyes of the suspicious emperor, I am afraid. It will not be so simple.In order to protect the Rong family, he had no choice but to join the prince's party.

Five days later, Liu Kaize came to the Guiyi Pavilion again, and went down to the room on the second floor under the leadership of Mr. Guiyi.Mr. Guiyi carefully handed him a bundle, which contained not only the book of Wanmin mentioned by Liu Kaize, but also a paper umbrella with red letters on a white background.

"Mr. Xiao really deserves to be Mr. Xiao," Mr. Guiyi admired, "The boss who came back said that he only prepared one copy of the Wanmin Book, but in the end he had to prepare two more, otherwise there is no way to satisfy the urgent need." The common people. On the third day, the surrounding villages and towns rushed out this Wanmin Umbrella, begging the magistrate to bring this umbrella too."

The Wanmin Umbrella was originally made by the people in order to retain a good official who is about to leave office. It shows that this official loves the people like a son and protects the people here like an umbrella.However, different from this kind of umbrella with black characters on a white background, Xiao Xiao's umbrella is full of densely packed names written in cinnabar pens, and there are even blood-red palm prints, which makes people feel shocking.

But after thinking of how many people's appeals were contained in this umbrella, the two of them only felt shocked, not terrified.

Liu Kaize caressed the name on it carefully, then blinked, lest he lose his senior's face by losing his old self.After he thanked Mr. Guiyi, he left the Guiyi Pavilion. It happened to be the dead of night, so Liu Kaize sneaked into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice with these things.

Xiao Xiao really had a good time these few days.

Since Liu Ziming came, Xiao Xiao's living standard has improved linearly, although he didn't know it.Originally, the prison of the Ministry of Justice only had one meal a day, and each meal was served with clear water cabbage and chestnut rice; but Xiao Xiao had three meals a day, and every other day he could still get some meat.Even after Liu Ziming came for the second time, the cell boss ran up to Xiao Xiao with a flattering face, and a big man squeezed his thin voice and asked Xiao Xiao what else he needed, as long as it wasn't something dangerous, he would Make sure to get it for Xiao Xiao.Xiao Xiao refused with extreme incompatibility. He was complaining to the guards that the man changed his face very quickly, when Liu Kaize suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You don't even know. I was so scared that my nose and tears covered my face. It's a pity that people didn't even look at me when they were eating peanuts. Don't talk about it if they don't have money, and then I was directly dragged to the big board." Xiao Xiao He curled his lips and said.

"Actually, it's not bad," the guard sighed, "Like the Xuan and Huang prisons in other cities, let alone the [-]th board, they just put you on torture tools, so what can you do as a dying person?" ?The prison bosses and prison guards have very little monthly money, and they are basically abusive people to do this, so they will not be soft on us death row prisoners. After all, playing half-dead will prevent you from thinking about escaping .”

Xiao Xiao was startled: "So scary?"

The guard nodded: "I have a distant relative who married a prison boss, and ran back to her mother's house within a few days after marriage, saying that that person always likes to take her to the prison to see the prisoners under torture, and then fuck her there. She really felt that there was something wrong with this person, so she ran back while he was not paying attention."

"It's just a pity. Her natal family is really not a good thing. The prison boss found her home and gave some money, so her mother gave her to the prison boss. I heard that she was beaten to death the year before last."

"How come there are such parents?" Xiao Xiao frowned, thinking of the despair of the woman who had nowhere to escape when she was beaten, she felt very uncomfortable.

"What are you talking about, it's a big night and you still haven't slept?"

Liu Kaize appeared in the corridor in a hurry, looking at the scene where the two were back to back with a wall in between, he felt very weird, and for some reason he thought of Jiang Muyu.He shook his head, shook off these meaningless thoughts, and then handed the package in his hand to Xiao Xiao.

"Look, this is from Hong Zhifu."

Xiao Xiao opened the bag curiously, and saw a thick stack of paper and a paper umbrella inside.While looking at what was densely written on the paper by the dim candlelight, he asked Liu Kaize suspiciously: "What is this?"
