Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 183 It's New Year's Eve
Chu Xuan liked field battles, especially night battles, and used to mess around with his concubine "Chrysanthemum" in the tea garden.It's very different now, it's a living wolf outside!Whenever a child cries, the adults in the family always scare him, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, or if you cry again, you will attract the wolves."

After entering the temple gate, Chu Xuan's heart was half relieved, two beggars.Can you still expect beggars to know themselves?Presumably, these two beggars are heading towards Luoyang, and they haven't seen the arrest warrant at the city gate of Luoyang. The news from other small counties will definitely not be faster than the news from Luoyang, right?Chu Xuan was a little deceiving himself, but he himself didn't dare to go any further.In desperation, Chu Xuan became cruel, stamped his feet, and left!

Chu Xuan left, but he was walking towards the inside of the temple`````` When he walked in front of the two sleeping beggars, Chu Xuan hesitated.Chu Xuan was used to intrigue in the little fat man's house, and he didn't change it for a while. He was struggling, should he throw the two beggars at the door to watch the night for him, or should he humbly please them?If you please them, does it appear that you have a guilty conscience?Let's act like a prince in charge of affairs!Chu Xuan finally made up his mind and decided to put on such a score in this poor village.

Who is not vigilant in the mixed society?Accidentally planted.Although he didn't make a name for himself by leaving this time, Xun Zhu'er still prepared a brick in advance.A knife is not something that he can possess with his identity. If he doesn't have something to defend himself in the wilderness, he might become a lonely ghost.

The pig is very big, this baby is dreaming of eating pancakes.I haven't eaten warm food for several days. The oil pancake I ate in my dream is very delicious. Put more chopped green onion and more oil. What's the matter? It costs five yuan a piece, right?After three cakes, Sao Zhuer still felt hungry, and was beckoning for the proprietress to bake another one, when he felt someone shake him.

If you want to talk about shaking, it's really flattering the pig, Chu Xuan's intention is to make the pig swing, but he didn't do it, he still used his feet ``````" Beggar! Go out and guard the door for the master, tomorrow A warm meal for the two of you is indispensable!"

Sao Zhuer slept in a drowsy state, lacked nutrition for a long time, and had severe hypoglycemia.Hypoglycemia is not a serious illness, but there is a very annoying problem - bedside gas, that is, when you don't wake up naturally, you will feel angry in your heart, especially when you are confused.Gouwa is very clear about his brother's faults, so every time Gouwa yells at Sao Zhuer to get up, he pokes him with a bamboo pole, afraid that Sao Zhuer will raise his hand and slap him. What about the strong?Gouwa can't bear a slap in the face.

How did Chu Xuan know this?The little one is already half-dead, but the big one is very strong. If the big one is not taken outside to guard the gate, Chu Xuan will not be able to sleep well at night.In fact, Chu Xuan didn't know that this wolf would not come up to the side of the road easily. Everyone has their own territory. If they don't break into their territory, it doesn't matter under normal circumstances.

It doesn't matter if Xaozhu'er is confused, when he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of big feet in front of him, raising them up to make another intimate contact with his face, and the owner of the feet was swearing, it was very unclean.

Sao Zhuer picked up the bricks in his hand and looked for the foot. The world was temporarily quiet, but two seconds later, Chu Xuan uttered an "ow", which seemed to wake up the two little brothers completely.

With the faint afterglow of the bonfire, Sao Zhuer knew what disaster he had caused, and he knew at a glance that there was a scholar in front of him.After the war, scholars had a high status. I heard that after passing the imperial examination, they became a county magistrate.County magistrate!Landlord Zhang in his own village would be respectful when seeing him, so Xao Zhuer was scared.

Quickly got up, threw away the bricks in hand, Xun Zhuer rubbed his eyes, and stammered apologetically, "Young master ``` small ``` small is not ```intentional``````"

Chu Xuan was tearful, sitting slumped on the ground, hugging his foot, and kept muttering in his heart: Broken```broken```Under the strong force of the pig, even if Chu Xuan’s foot was not a comminuted fracture, at least Also fractured.

Chu Xuan is a master who is used to being arrogant, even with deep tears in his eyes, his mouth is still unrelenting, "Young master's feet! You lowly beggar, did you just say it on purpose?! The young master wants to sue You are bankrupt!" Chu Xuan was half-crazy, and he didn't even think about it, what kind of property could two beggars have?It's just thinking that Jinyu is used to it.Besides, if you have some scheming, you will definitely not utter wild words to anger the beggar now. He is barefoot, so he is afraid of you wearing shoes?Wouldn't it be faster to kill people and steal money directly?
Sao Zhuer was quite frightened, although he had already come out to mix with the society, but he was really afraid of involving his family, "A good man should do things by himself."Sao Zhu'er wanted to check the injury of the person in front of him, but the fire was too small at this time, so he added a handful of dry wood to the fire. "My lord, let the little one show you back, just bandage it up, and send you to the doctor tomorrow." Sao Zhu'er was also very unwilling, she slept soundly by herself, who asked you to wake me up?If you want to quarrel, just quarrel, and use your feet, why don't you use bamboo poles like Gouwa?

If Gouwa knew what was going on in Xaozhu'er's mind, he would reply to Xaozhu'er without hesitation: It's fine if you don't use your head, but if you use your head, you might be killed now, right?
As soon as the fire gets hot, people's faces can be seen in a similar way.Sao Zhu'er stared at the sufferer in front of him and was stunned, what kind of face is this?This is a face worth 50 taels of silver!This is a face entrusted with marrying two concubines!
Li Er's ancestor, Comrade Lao Dan, deputy curator of the National Library of Zhou Dynasty, once said that "when misfortune comes, blessings rest on it, and when blessings come, misfortune rests on it."This sentence is very famous, and later generations recognize Comrade Lao Dan as the ancestor of the simple dialectics. Don’t you know that Comrade Lao Dan has never known what this so-called “simple dialectics” is all his life.

Sao Zhu'er didn't know that the ancestor of His Majesty Tang had said such a sentence, but it didn't stop his excitement in the slightest—the most wanted criminal of the imperial court was caught!
"What am I talking about? Turning the head is useful? If it wasn't for turning the head, we two brothers would be finished today!" Sao Zhuer directly tied Chu Xuan up without consulting the person concerned, and chose another rag It fell into Chu Xuan's mouth, saving the baby from howling indiscriminately.It looks like a rich man at first glance, and he doesn't know how to save some effort if it doesn't help.

There are not many things in Chu Xuan's luggage, some loose silver and some dry food.The two of them were not polite, and took everything they ordered, eating and chatting while eating.

"Every day you talk about 'thieves have the right way', and you don't let the sap stick. If he hadn't happened to be hit by this brick today, we still wouldn't be able to get such a full meal!" Sao Zhuer said Talk to Gouwa while eating.

Where there is food, there is strength.After eating some noodles and jerky to satisfy his hunger, Gouwa is much better, at least he is not in a half-dead state, as if the priest added temporary attributes, and he is very alive and well.Hearing what his brother said, Gouwa shook his head and said, "That's different. If this person is not a court official, we will have to compensate him if we offend him. We are stealing from the beginning, just for money, so it is necessary to give Fat Sheep a sap, let him Will people be injured after losing money? If one is not grasped well, there will be an extra murder case on him, and he will not be able to sleep well."

Sao Zhuer nodded, thinking that what his brother said was reasonable, in fact, what did they have to do with the gangs in Luoyang City?It is because of this way of attack, the gang leader is too vicious, every time he asks his subordinates to hit a stick first, then rob money, and occasionally rob for sex, the two brothers just couldn't bear this way and left the gang angrily.What can be said is that there is still some morality in my heart, and it is not too much to say that "theft has its own way".

"The gang leader in Chang'an City is right, 'No matter how good your martial arts are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. No matter how good your kung fu is, you will fall down with one brick'. If it weren't for my brother, I prepared an extra brick today, and we would have no money today. "Sao Zhu'er touched his mouth and checked the broken silver in the bag. It looks like less than 20 taels, which is enough to marry a concubine, but if you want two brothers to have one, it's still not enough, and you can't share it. Bar?

Gouwa lay down and rubbed his belly contentedly, and finally had a full meal. If he said the money, he didn't want it to be fake, but he didn't have any credit for it, so he just lay in the haystack and didn't go Watch the pig counting money to play.This brother of mine is a bit stupid, and he even admits death.The leader of the gang in Luoyang City and the leader of the gangster in Chang'an City have letters and exchanges. Ever since the leader of the Luoyang City received a letter, he kept repeating in his mouth, "No matter how good martial arts are, I am afraid of kitchen knives. No matter how good kung fu is, "Let it down with one brick", from then on, Sao Zhuer regarded this sentence as the most reasonable saying, and it almost rose to the height of the creed of life.

Seeing his brother lying contentedly on the licorice, Sao Zhu'er weighed the pieces of silver in his hand, hesitantly, and asked: "We hand over this criminal of the imperial court, what should we do with the money? Do we need to hand in one piece?" Er knew very well that Gouwa had always been smarter than him. If it wasn't for Gouwa, he would have suffered more in Luoyang City, and he might have been reduced to a grassroots worker of the Beggar Gang by now.

"Want?" Gou Wa glanced at his life-and-death brother, no wonder he thought so, what kind of life are the two of them living now?If you have some living money on hand, you won't be reduced to such a point.Seeing Xun Zhuer nod, Gou Wa beckoned, letting Xan Zhuer listen to him, and after explaining this, Xun Zhuer nodded straightly.

Sao Zhuer pushed the door of this ruined temple again and again, for fear that someone would break in again.Chu Xuan has already been tied to the pillar by him, and there are some curtains in the ruined temple, all of which he used on Chu Xuan, so Xun Zhuer was still worried, so he used his belt to circle Chu Xuan .Seeing Chu Xuan's appearance, Sao Zhu'er clapped his hands and fell asleep in peace.

Now that Chu Xuan wanted to die, his fame was ruined in the hands of two beggars?If I had known this, I might as well have been caught at the door, at least I could have a meal in prison, and now I am tied up like a mummy, not to mention, I am still hungry, so I have fallen to my grandma's house.

Gou Wa's idea to San Zhu'er was that early the next morning, San Zhu'er pressed Chu Xuan into the city alone to receive the reward, and waited for him to come back at the ruined temple with the broken silver.If the yamen asked about the broken silver, they would say that they had forgotten it in the ruined temple, and they could just get it when they came back.

Early the next morning, Sao Zhu'er followed Gou Wa's idea and dragged Chu Xuan to receive the reward.If it were someone else, this matter would have to be weighed a bit more. Nearly 20 taels of silver is considered a considerable amount of wealth for ordinary people.How many people have brothers turned against each other and father and son became enemies because of money?But the pig is the pig, and he believes in his brother.

Things went well, although the urban management was very jealous, but they still led Xun Zhuer to the yamen. To be honest, he was still a person at this time. If he was in a certain court, hehe, he probably would have been put in concrete to stand guard.

Although Luoyang is known as the "Eastern Capital", its economy is not the best, and it is not as good as Chang'an. Chang'an was built by Yang Guang for more than ten years before it took shape, but he never wanted his cousin to pick the fruit.

The county magistrate of Luoyang County is a fifth-rank official position, not even as high as Jin Yu's title.What news is wearing the fastest this year?It's not an imperial decree, but rumors and gossip.Before the arrest warrant came down, the county magistrate heard about the incident in Chang'an City, which involved the current prince and an earl. After the founding of the country, such a incident has not happened, right?

After hearing Sao Zhuer's narration, the county magistrate was overjoyed.Although I didn't catch it with my own hands, I was arrested and brought to justice on my own ground after all, and it was still by two beggars!What is it called?Contributing to enlightenment, what the people want!It seems that this year's good reviews won't go away. The more the county magistrate thinks about it, the happier he is, and his mouth is wide open.

Even if Chu Xuan wanted to quibble, he couldn't speak anymore, because the letters he carried and so on all proved that he was the most wanted criminal by the court this time.

The county magistrate was so happy that he didn't really ask about Chu Xuan carrying the money, Sao Zhu'er's coquettish heart was half at ease.After escorting the limping Chu Xuan down, the county magistrate didn't mention the reward, and Sao Zhuer couldn't bear it any longer, "My lord, Caomin heard that there is a reward of 50 taels for arresting and bringing to justice``` ```"

"That's what happened." The county magistrate was in a good mood today, and didn't blame Sao Zhuer for being rude, "But now that the yamen is closed, even this county magistrate can't get the money out. How about getting it later in the year?"

Sao Zhu'er believes that Gouwa is true, but he can't believe that the two mouths of the word "official" may disappear in the next year, so finding a concubine is really impossible for two people to share?Smell pig shook his head, unwilling to take the money after the year.

The county magistrate had a second thought, came up with an idea, and said embarrassingly: "Forget it, I will make an exception today! Write you a letter, take the letter, and go to Chang'an with the yamen servant to get it!"

If you say 50 taels of silver, even if you don't use the treasury, the county magistrate can get it out. First, I didn't see any benefit from this matter, and second, spreading it out hindered the official voice. A small county magistrate, a month How much is your salary?Where did so much money come from?So the county magistrate chose to let the pig go to Chang'an.The letter I wrote was for Jin Yu, and it would be beneficial and harmless for me to talk about a powerful man in the capital. This way, everyone is happy, so why not do it?

What the county magistrate said was very clear, the reward belonged to the lord himself, and he had to wait until he was escorted to Chang'an to get it out, there was nothing he could do to help.Sao Zhuer gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and followed!
Chu Xuan belonged to the person the emperor wanted, and belonged to the important criminal of the imperial court, who was escorted through the post station with special permission.There were not many yamen servants in Luoyang County, but in order to escort Chu Xuan to Chang'an, more than a dozen yamen servants were sent.There are post stations for eating and drinking along the way, and the two of them buy some meat from time to time to pay their respects, these government servants can be regarded as a fat job.

Luoyang is more than [-] miles away from Chang'an, plus it has snowed in some places, and they might not be able to reach Chang'an in ten days in the past.But the situation is different now. Li Er got Jinyu's cement method, gave up repairing his palace, and invested manpower, material and financial resources in road construction, which won unanimous praise from the whole court, and the road was indeed much easier.

The Tang Dynasty did not mention overloading. If you want to overload, you must have power equipment, right?Now it is basically pulled by donkeys, so we can only drive ahead without rushing.Chu Xuan was treated very well. He had a donkey cart all to himself, and some hay was stuffed around it, so he wouldn't catch a cold.It's just that on this road, he mostly stood up, because he was riding in a prison car!The kind of car whose head and hands are tied outside the cage.

When Chu Xuan was escorted on his way, Jin Yu was still taking a nap.In a daze, Jin Yu felt that someone had come in and got into his arms.

He opened his eyes and saw that it was indeed his little daughter-in-law, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.Jin Yu kept eating sweets, but he didn't suffer from hypoglycemia. He tightened the quilt for Yang Ying and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Yang Ying put her arms around Jin Yu's neck, and leaned herself tightly into Jin Yu's arms, as if it was safer, "I miss my mother."

That's right, Grandpa Tang has an ancestral hall, and Chen Guiren only has a memorial tablet in a side room, seems a bit unfair?But just like that, Yang Ying still felt that Jin Yu was being generous, and there had never been a son-in-law who provided a memorial tablet for his mother-in-law.

Jin Yu patted the little daughter-in-law on the back. He could understand Yang Ying's mood. As the saying goes, "A child with a mother is like a treasure, but a child without a mother is like a grass."How could Yang Ying say that her mother was in pain, but what about Jin Yu?I never knew what it was like to be hurt by my mother.

As a man, he has to love his wife, right?When the daughter-in-law is in a bad mood, try to make her happy, instead of being sentimental, sentimental, and crying.Jin Yu wiped Yang Ying's tears with his hand, and asked, "Do you know why you are taking a nap?"

Yang Ying sniffled and shook her head.

Jin Yu chuckled, "This is due to what the two great men said. I think that Confucius and Mencius lived close to each other. One day, Mencius went to visit Confucius' house. Confucius didn't get up for his afternoon nap. Mencius just thought, I came all the way. But you are sleeping, no, wake up! Mencius woke up Confucius and asked Confucius: Brother Zhongni, why are you sleeping at noon? Confucius yawned and replied: Brother Ziyu (Mengzi, styled Ziyu) ), don’t sleep at noon, and collapse in the afternoon! Mencius thought about it, and it seems that this is really the case, so he nodded and said: Brother Zhongni is right!”

A little joke made Yang Ying laugh. Yang Ying just cried, and she was a little embarrassed, but it didn't affect her acting like a baby to Jin Yu, "My husband made it up again. The two sages of Confucius and Mencius are not from the same dynasty. Never met!"

"It's just making up. If these words come from other people's mouths, it won't have such a good effect." Jin Yu scratched Yang Ying's little nose, "Don't collapse in the afternoon, continue to take a nap."
