"Master Chen, please come this way."

Wearing a brand-new straight robe, a tobacco gray crane cloak, and a diagonal square scarf on his head, Chen Shouzhang was guided by several well-dressed officials as he walked along the corridor to the Fusi side hall of Beizhen.

Ever since the young man from the Duke's family came that day, Chen Shouzhang never returned to the old secret cell. Instead, he moved to another stone room with a window. In addition to the window, there was also a brand new bed.

Bedding, tables and chairs made of jujube wood, and a brazier.

Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, who had been extremely rude to him before, not only came to greet him in person, but even invited a doctor to treat his eyes. After being in the dark cell for a long time, not only did his eyes suffer, but his body was also invaded by the cold evil.

After learning about this, he actually asked for advice on how to take a medicinal bath, bought a separate bathtub, poured the boiled medicine into it, and nursed him back to health.

Not to mention food, in just a few days, roasted pig from Xiaoxinglou, fish soup from Acura Tower, venison in clear soup from Heminglou, roasted carp with pine nuts from Zuixianlou... Although Chen Shouzhang has been honest for most of his life, for

Before he became an official, his family was relatively well-off, and he had never lived in such luxury. He just felt that the little flag provided for him was ten times more attentive than the ancestral tablet.

During the first meal, Chen Shouzhang thought it was a decapitation meal, but he was washed away again in advance. He also secretly sighed in his heart that Beizhen Fusi was really fastidious, killing people with more respect than others, so he tried the roasted pig

After that, he just sat there and waited to die.

Unexpectedly, he waited and waited, and then the second good meal came. Chen Shouzhang immediately felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't eat two meals if he was decapitated. If the head was cut off, he wouldn't cut the fish in half again. He closed his eyes and ate the fish again.

After eating the soup, he didn't expect that after a good night's sleep, no one would let him die. Instead, he was greeted by all kinds of flattery flags.

"The person you called down to see me is still the young adult from before?"

The clerk did not dare to say anything, and the two of them walked through the guardhouse courtyard, which was much emptier than usual, and finally arrived at the side hall.

After his eyes recovered, Chen Shouzhang stood in front of the door and finally saw the young adult clearly.

With just one glance, Chen Shouzhang thought of a sentence: "There is a bandit gentleman, whose ears are as clear as the moon, and his body is as tall as a star*". The young gentleman he had talked with was not only young, but also amazingly handsome.

, not only handsome, but a golden bud sprouted from the top of the green tree made of white jade with branches and jasper leaves. The combination of nobility and nobility that makes people dare not blaspheme, gave rise to such awe.

Human feeling.

The young man also saw Chen Shouzhang, put a gold bookmark in the book in his hand, put the book away, stood up and saluted him: "Master Chen, Wansheng is here to bother you again. I had to give you some advice before. Wansheng

Suddenly enlightened, I thank Master Chen again."

The young man wearing a silver flying fish suit was quite tall, with broad shoulders and a slim waist. He wore a black gauze hat, which could not suppress the bright light in his eyes.

Chen Shouzhang hurriedly returned the gift: "Chen is a guilty person, but he received your help. It's up to me to express my gratitude to you. I couldn't see you before, but I didn't know that you are so extraordinary."

The young man raised his hand and invited Chen Shouzhang to sit down. He took a silver pot from the table and poured out a cup of tea.

"Master Chen has done a lot of research on tea, why not try what kind of tea Wan Sheng brought this time?"...

Hearing these words, Chen Shouzhang relaxed his shoulders, glanced at the big Doucai cup in front of him, and said with a slight smile: "The tea brewed from the fine silver pot has no odor at all. Zhenghe uses it to drink white tea. This tea

The aroma is clear but not overpowering, and the soup is clear in color. I guess it is Wuzhou East White Tea."

After speaking, he took a sip of the tea soup and smiled again: "This year's top-quality new tea, if I hadn't been lucky enough to meet you, I would have missed it."

He had drunk several cups of good tea in front of the other party before, and Chen Shouzhang did not hide his love for this tea. He tasted it first and then drank it, and drank all the tea in the cup.

"You're welcome, Mr. Chen." The young man picked up the silver pot and filled up his large cup again.

After drinking two more cups of tea, Chen Shouzhang wiped his mouth with the corner of his sleeve: "What do you want to ask, sir, when you come to me this time?"

The young man glanced at the "Shang Shu" he had placed on the table, with a slight smile on his face, as if he was just talking about a casual matter:

"This morning, Your Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of the shortfalls in the shad tribute and various Taipu temples. If the officials in charge make up for the shortfalls before October, they will be given a lighter sentence."

A shocking thing was said by this young man in an understatement, but it still contained a thrilling feeling. Chen Shouzhang stood up from his chair and slowly sat down again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is so wise!" As he said this, he knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the imperial city.

From the day he wrote the memorial, it was not like he had never had such a dream. He dreamed of His Majesty arbitrarily clearing up shortfalls and eliminating accumulated corruption, but when he woke up from the dream, a fierce spirit rushed into him to reward the imperial guards who captured him.

Who would have thought that when he was so disheartened and just waiting to die, things would take a turn for the worse.

Your Majesty is determined to eliminate evils?!

Excited, Chen Shouzhang even cried: "Your Majesty is so young, but he does not hide his illness and avoid medical treatment, and is willing to face the chronic diseases of Dayong for generations. This is really the luck of Dayong! What a blessing to the people of the world!"

The young man sitting on the chair lifted the tea cup with his hand and took a sip of the refreshing tea soup with a faint smile on his face and lips.

"Lord Chen, you don't have to be so cheerful. Your Majesty is used to being casual. Maybe today you want to inspect Taipu Temple, and tomorrow you want to use money to build a garden. If your Majesty himself takes money from Taipu Temple in the future, you will not be in vain. Kneel down."

These words were really unruly. Chen Shouzhang covered his face with his sleeves and cried and laughed:

"I'm not afraid of adults laughing at me. When I handed in the memorial, I knew that I had no choice but to die. In desperation, I also contacted several people who were my comrades and told them that even if I died, they would definitely choose another opportunity to tell His Majesty. What does Dayong look like today? If I can achieve the results I have today, I will die without regrets!"

The young man still had a smile on his face. He stood up and held Chen Shouzhang's arm:.

"Master Chen, please get up first."

Chen Shouzhang staggered to his feet, his brand new crane cloak already stained with dust.

"I've lost my composure and made the adults laugh!"

The young man just smiled and shook his head.

After a long time, Chen Shouzhang drank a few more cups of tea and finally calmed down.

"My lord, I have informed you of this matter. What do you want to ask me about?"

"To be honest, Wan Sheng came here to ask Master Chen..." Looking at Chen Shouzhang's face, the young man suddenly paused and then changed the subject, "Who are those gay friends of your Excellency?"...

Chen Shouzhang touched his beard and laughed: "He is just a low-key official like the others below."

After saying that, Chen Shouzhang thought for a moment and then smiled: "But if you want to make friends with you, I have a little friend who I can recommend to you. My friend said that day that when His Majesty decided to check the deficit, he rose to the throne. The day he entered the cabinet."

These words are really arrogant.

The young man in Feiyu uniform smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, this little friend is quite interesting."

"Yes! Although he is only the head of the Criminal Department, he has a very broad vision. Knowing that I insisted on submitting a letter, he also wrote to me and told me that after my death, he could renew my incense for six years, but it was only six years, because after six years

, he will either lose his seal and die in poverty, or he will die in Fusi, Beizhen."

This guy sounds really interesting.

The young man was somewhat interested and refilled a cup of tea for Chen Shouzhang: "Please, Mr. Chen, introduce this interesting person to Wansheng."

"Okay, okay, his name is Ming Ruoshui, he is from Dongyang, and he comes from the same place as the tea we are drinking today!"

In front of the gate of Fusi in Beizhen, a man wearing a white t-shirt was talking to the guard in Jinyi:

"Although my friend is imprisoned in the prison of Beizhen Fusi, he has neither been questioned nor brought to trial, nor has he been classified as a felon who cannot be visited. Why can't I visit him?"

The soldiers guarding the gate said nothing.

Beizhen Fusi, which can stop children crying at night, is a place that others avoid, but this person has a paper bag in his left hand and two small wine jars in his right hand, as if he thinks that their dignified Beizhen Fusi is some kind of poetry party.

Place.

At this time, a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi walked out of the gate. When he saw this person, he couldn't laugh or cry:

"Mr. Ming, why are you here again? Didn't you say before that you were transferred out of Beijing? Why are you back so soon?"

The man looked at the familiar Xiaoqi, smiled and cupped his hands: "Zhang Xiaoqi hasn't seen you for many days. I was transferred to Jiangxi to judge the prison sentence, and was assigned to Xuanfu to cooperate with the bandits on the way. Because I offended Zhang Dusi, I could only stand in despair.

I'm back, and to be honest, I've even resigned from my official position."

Zhang Xiaoqi was speechless for a moment.

He has been responsible for guarding Chen Shouzhang since he entered Beizhen Fusi. On the second day after Chen Shouzhang came in, the former head of the Criminal Department named Ming Ruoshui came to Beizhen Fusi every day to block people. Knowing that he was guarding Chen Shouzhang, this

At first glance, the scholar looked a little poor and gave him ten taels of silver and asked him to help take care of Chen Shouzhang.

Zhang Xiaoqi considers himself not a bad person. He took money from others and let go of Chen Shouzhang. How can anyone who has entered Beizhen Fusi not be tormented? Although the boss did not say that Chen Shouzhang would be tortured, people like them would

It would be too easy for Xiaoqi, who had a little power in his heart, to abuse someone. If it hadn't been for these ten taels of silver, Chen Shouzhang might not have been able to turn around later.

Thinking of the unspeakable nobleman, Zhang Xiaoqi pressed his shoulders down again, and Chen Shouzhang turned over. How could he look down on Chen Shouzhang's friend? He just smiled and said: "Mr. Ming, you want to see Mr. Chen.

, of course there is nothing wrong with it, it’s just that Mr. Chen was infected with the cold before, and he hasn’t recovered yet. You can smell the smell of medicine on my body. I only got it while I was looking for a doctor for Mr. Chen. Just go back without worries, I will

I will definitely be able to take good care of Mr. Chen."

The man saw that Zhang Xiaoqi's expression did not seem to be fake, and he realized in his heart that the direction of the wind had changed, and these people naturally became polite to Chen Shouzhang.

He took a step back and saluted Zhang Xiaoqi: "Thank you, thank you so much!"

That little flag also hurriedly returned the gift: "Mr. Ming, please don't be polite to me!"

A carriage came out quietly from the side yard of Fusi, Beizhen, and turned to the front door.

The people sitting in the car lowered their eyes and thought.

Chen Shouzhang can be used, but not very useful. He is very stubborn and somewhat foolish and loyal. If he is not careful, he will be burned.

She needs someone more suitable.

Hearing the words "Ming Gongzi", the people in the car took a volume of books in their hands and gently raised the car curtain.

"That man outside is Mr. Mingruoshuiming?"

Hearing someone calling him, the man turned around and saw the pendant emerging from the book and swinging on the car curtain.

The people in the car looked at him with smiles.

"Mr. Ming, I'm in Shenzhen Lizhen. I've heard your name for a long time. Can you come to the car to talk about it?"

The sunset soaks the weeping willows and bites away the cool breeze.

The bright moon hangs over the tall trees overlooking the wet rain.
