Chapter 714
Luo Yang
Ting Wei Prison
Tingwei’s Prison can be said to be one of the two most terrifying places in Luoyang. One of them is the Embroidered Clothes Envoy’s Prison, and the other is Tingwei’s Prison. The original Tingwei’s prison was not as bad as it is today. The most frightening thing is the prison of the Embroidered Clothes Emissary. Since Man Chong became the Ting Wei, things have changed.

As the saying goes, if you enter the embroidered clothes prison, you will die nine times out of ten. Of course, this is terrible. Once you enter the embroidered clothes prison, it is basically impossible to get out alive. There are also a few people who can get out alive, but it is very rare, but Ting Wei The prison is even worse, as long as one enters, there is no one who can come out safely! !

Even if it's someone like Situ Gong, Man Chong can find a few problems from him, let alone an ordinary person, as long as he goes in, he can't come out without incident. Sometimes Yuan Shang dare not face the important ministers who went in You are ruthless, but Man Chong doesn't care about this, as long as you enter my Tingwei, I don't care if you are Situ or Sikong, I will keep you peeled off!As a result, the notoriety of Tingwei's prison spread, and everyone was daunted by it, but in such an environment, they could still hear the Liangzhou ditties coming from the prison.

In the dark prison, Hua Xiong leaned against the cold wall, squinted his eyes, and hummed a little tune. Hua Xiong leaned against the wall, but his whole body was covered with scars. Man Chong didn't show mercy because of his status. Maybe Yuan Shang didn't dare to treat him like this in the Embroidered Clothes Prison, but Man Chong did. These days, because of his crime of attacking Sangong, he was whipped by Man Chong, and he suffered a lot.

Even though he was suffering, Hua Xiong never pleaded for mercy, or even opened his mouth, and endured it abruptly. Man Chong was not afraid of killing Hua Xiong, but the officials under his command were very afraid. This is the imperial servant, The relationship with the emperor is also very close, if he just died in prison like this, it would be fine!
There are also a few people who want to buy off the soldiers in the prison, and want to make these soldiers who are tortured a little lighter. Duke Hua is old, so don't fight badly, but who knows, the soldiers under Man Chong are just like their chief general, It's smelly and hard, not to mention their bribes, and directly played Li Man Chong, Man Chong arrested another group of people, and now they are also staying in Ting Wei's prison.

Hua Xiong was staying in the prison, humming a song, when he saw the door of the cell in the distance was slowly opened, and a strong light was projected from the outside, all the prisoners in the prison raised their heads in unison, looked at In the past, Hua Xiong did the same thing. I saw a court official leading people in, came to the door of Hua Xiong's cell, opened the door, two soldiers stepped forward, escorted Hua Xiong and got up.

Escorted by the two, Hua Xiong walked out of Tingwei's prison in a calm manner. Not far away, Man Chong was lowering his body, and Liu Xi was standing beside him. The two of them were chatting for some unknown reason. , the emperor seemed to be explaining something, seeing Liu Xi, Hua Xiong grinned, immediately broke free from the escort of the two soldiers, and quickly walked in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I'm finally looking forward to you! Then I'll go first and say goodbye!", Hua Xiong bowed to the emperor, turned around and was about to leave, Liu Xi glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and the soldiers rushed over immediately , directly pressed Hua Xiong to the ground, and brought him in front of the Son of Heaven. Hua Xiong was a little helpless, looked at the Son of Heaven in front of him, and asked, "Your Majesty is going to kill me?"

"Of course not."

"Then why don't you let me go?"

"Duke Hua, I specifically asked Man Jun to sharpen his temperament and entrust me with a heavy responsibility. Now it seems that the prison of the court captain has not played any role at all!"

"Your Majesty, I didn't come to this prison once or twice, and I didn't go home so often. How could it change me here? Except for beheading and beheading, I have experienced all the punishments of Manjun. Now, compared to what I suffered in Xiliang, this is far worse." Hua Xiong said disdainfully, Man Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, I have already said that this person cannot take on important responsibilities."

"How do you know that I can't take the position? I've been a servant, a lieutenant of Sili, have you disappointed His Majesty?" Hua Xiong's face gradually became solemn, he looked at the emperor, and said seriously: " Your Majesty, no matter what, no matter what you order, Hua Xiong is not as talented as Liuhou, but he is almost the same, and he will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's high expectations!"

Man Chong gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his head away, and never looked at him again.

Only then did Liu Xi order to the left and right, "Change clothes for Duke Hua." The little yellow gate on the side had already been prepared, and he took Hua Xiong to change clothes. Bringing clothes to come, how can Hua Xiong He De get such a love from the emperor!Really annoying!
They waited here for a while, and they saw two Huangmen leading Hua Xiong coming over. Looking at Hua Xiong's appearance, Man Chong almost burst out laughing. There is a sachet in between, anyway, it is the attire of a famous scholar.

But Hua Xiong's figure, wearing this clothes, is indescribably against harmony, every move, he does not look like a great Confucian at all. Xi was also taken aback for a moment, but he didn't laugh, and nodded solemnly to express his approval.

Hua Xiong himself was quite happy, wearing a robe of celebrities, grinning, put his hands behind his back in a decent manner, walked up to the emperor in front of him, stretched out his hand suddenly, bowed to the emperor, and said : "Chen Huaxiong, pay homage to the Son of Heaven!"

The emperor nodded with a smile, looked at Man Chong, and asked: "Mr. Man, the clothes of Mr. Hua were chosen by me. Take a look, how is it? Does it have the demeanor of a great Confucian?", Man Chong Frowning and saying nothing, Liu Xi waited for a while, but before Man Chong could reply, he couldn't help but asked with some doubts: "Why didn't Man Chong speak?"

"Your Majesty, I don't want to lie, so I don't speak."

"Ahem. Alright, Mr. Hua, go back with me. I'm going to take you to meet some people and there are very important matters that I'll leave to you to handle." Liu Xi said, and Hua Xiong hurriedly followed Behind him, the two left Tingwei's prison, and Man Chong respectfully sent them away.

After walking out of Tingwei's prison, Liu Xi approached Hua Xiong again, and said, "Uncle!! Don't make things difficult for me in front of outsiders!"

"Ahem, there will definitely be no next time."

"Well, uncle, yes, I'm going to publish the residence newspaper, and uncle must also know that the things that the common people know are all passed on by local officials or the three elders in the countryside, so mistakes cannot be avoided. , the common people don’t know about my decree, many good government decrees have changed their taste in the local area, and even discredited the temple, this is what I can’t bear.”

"I want the Dibao to be my mouth, able to convey my thoughts and wishes to the people of the world, let the people know what is right and what is wrong, so that local officials can no longer deceive and deceive, and have the power of printing. Technique, this method can work!"

"I need a most reliable minister who can handle this matter for me, and that person is you, Uncle Hua. I say that, but uncle understands the importance of repaying the government?" Liu Xi asked in a low voice.

Hua Xiong laughed and replied: "Your Majesty, isn't it just manipulating public opinion and controlling thoughts? It's simple, I can do it!"

Liu Xi's complexion changed drastically, and he said with some displeasure: "Uncle, I don't think so, I am for the people of the world!"

Hua Xiong blinked his eyes and said nothing, but Liu Xi looked at Hua Xiong in front of him in shock. He suddenly felt that he had never been able to see through this person, but Liu Xi still trusted him in his heart. Xiong is absolutely reliable, Liu Bei and Cao Cao may have their own ideas, but Hua Xiong will never, Liu Xi absolutely trusts him.

"Uncle, this matter is not that simple. In order to help uncle, I found six celebrities. These six are all heroes in the literary world. They are good at writing, sharp in writing, good at attacking, quick in thinking, eloquent, and Those who are good at writing imperial edicts and documents are available, and their talents are sufficient, but I dare not trust them completely, so I found Uncle Hua, hoping that Uncle Hua can take them with us."

Hua Xiong listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time, as if he really understood.

The few of them are now in the mansion chosen by the emperor for them. Liu Xi is going to take Hua Xiong to meet them. At the same time, Liu Xi has been explaining these people to Hua Xiong. He naturally hopes that Hua Xiong can get these people. to teach Hua Xiong how to deal with these celebrities.

This mansion was not established recently, but the emperor directly chose a place from the subordinate mansion of Sikong Mansion, and renamed it. Liu Bei did not dare to object, so he had to build another mansion. The place where the Sikong Mansion used to store the ledgers was vacated just like that.

The group of people just arrived here when they heard the voices of arguments coming from inside, which were extremely fierce. These people, who are so harmonious in front of the emperor, seem to have a lot of conflicts in private. , the emperor was about to go in, but Hua Xiong stopped him suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is very inconvenient for you to be here, why not go back to Houde Hall to rest, I am here, just feel at ease That's right!"

Liu Xi looked at Hua Xiong in front of him, it seemed that he also had his own plan in mind, Liu Xi slowly retracted his legs, nodded, "Then leave it to my uncle to do these things, and I will return to Houde Hall Waiting for news from Uncle!" Hua Xiong bid farewell to the emperor, and when Liu Xi left, Hua Xiong raised his head high and walked into the mansion arrogantly.

"Let me tell you, this first residence report should focus on the posthumous title of Marquis Liu's death, and supplement other matters. In the past few months, the matter of Marquis Liu should be the most important thing!"

"No, although the matter of Marquis Liu is a major event, it is a sad one. It can't start with it. We should focus on the topic of our new mansion newspaper. Wouldn't it be good to put the news of Marquis Liu under it?"

"What is your intention, dare to despise Liuhou?!"

"Although Liuhou is expensive, can it be compared to today's?"

Inside the mansion, six people were divided into two rows, arguing fiercely.

ps: The old wolf lost his ID card, very unlucky, he had to go to get a replacement or something, and he was going to go home in a few days, what should he do now, he can’t get his ticket without an ID card!
