In the next two days, Zhang Jiebin and Shen Yourong took the lead, followed by long strips of young people from the capital, kowtowing along the imperial city. The number of people in the group increased from more than 20 people at the beginning to more than 50 people.
Apart from kowtowing, Zhang and Shen spent the rest of the time in the dungeon, listening to lectures and reading.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, He Liangchen finished explaining and asked Zhang Jiebin and Zhang Jiebin to read the book by themselves. Shen Yourong had been copying the Song Dynasty's only copy of the military book for the past few days, but Zhang Jiebin was only interested in "Eight Formations" and copied it in two days. Read day and night without getting tired.
Seeing He Liangchen writing a book and Shen Yourong copying it, he felt bored, so he held the book in one hand and behind his back, and walked out in a decent manner, wanting to see if any young people were staying here today.
Before he walked out of the prison, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps and was very surprised. He had been here for five days, and except for the jailer, he had never seen anyone else come in.
After a while, I saw three jailers escorting an official in.
Zhang Jiebin seemed to take the cell as his own, and curiously asked the escorting jailer: "Brother, what happened to this prisoner? Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, do you want to take a vacation? You don't plan to lock him up for ten days, that will kill someone."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jiebin became angry. He had been hungry for a whole day, so he would inevitably retaliate against the visitor.
The jailer said: "Brother Zhang, what happened last time will not happen. At that time, we saw that you were young and Mr. He was inside, so we did not arrange for anyone to be on duty. Don't worry, we will have someone on duty during the Lantern Festival."
"Then what did he commit? He couldn't be a heinous person! I would be scared." Zhang Jiebin said with a smile, saying he was scared, but there was no trace of panic at all.
"No, no, please don't worry, Brother Zhang. He is really a heinous person and has been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment long ago. He is an official sent by the Vehicle and Driving Department of the Ministry of War to the Huitong Pavilion. He was implicated in the crime because of his unfavorable companionship with the envoy."
Zhang Jiebin said nothing after hearing this and continued to walk out. He took a look when he was leaving the dungeon and saw that the jailer was escorting the driver into the cell where he was imprisoned that day.
When I walked out of the dungeon, there were no teenagers staying because the Lantern Festival starts tomorrow, which is the most important festival in the Ming Dynasty. The holiday lasts for ten days, and the whole country celebrates it. It is simply more important than New Year's Day, which is only a five-day holiday.
With nothing to do, he walked south to Qingfang Street. When he reached this point, he suddenly remembered what he had just heard, and walked towards the Huitong Hall on the east side of the street.
When he came to the door of the Huitong Hall, he saw that there were soldiers guarding it, and it was obvious that he could not enter. He asked the vendors on the street: "I heard that someone was making trouble in the Huitong Hall. Is it true or not?"
The vendor didn't speak, but the customer started talking vividly.
"Hey, they all killed people. The straight women in the North Hall and the beauties in the South Hall are feuding! They were all in the same hall back then, fighting life and death. They have been in separate halls for more than a hundred years, and they are still fighting endlessly. Yesterday was On the open day, they bumped into each other for some reason, and they suddenly became furious. The fight was so exciting that the two straight girls beat down all twelve beauties, and even beat one to death..."
After this person finished speaking, everyone started talking again.
"That beauty is from Korea, right?"
"That's right, it's called North Korea now."
"The straight women are in the North Hall, are they the chieftains?"
"Hey, you don't even know about straight women. You've heard of the Yue Family Army in Liaodong, right? They were the ones who beat them back then. Yes, they were called Jinren at that time."
"That's a good fight. The Koreans are too cowardly. A dozen of them can't defeat two people?"
"If it were so easy to fight, he wouldn't have taken half of my kingdom back then, and there would be no need for Grandpa Yue to fight against the gold."
"That's right. If you dare to be so arrogant in the capital, you should ask Marshal Li to teach you a lesson."
"They dare to bully and bully beautiful people. Let's see if they dare to attack me, Mingren?"
Hearing about the same thing, seeing that the conversation became more and more interesting, Zhang Jiebin quickly left and headed to Dongjiangmi Lane. When he came to Yuhe Bridge, he looked north of West Street and saw that the Nanhuitong Hall was divided into three courtyards. He heard people say that there are houses in the back.
Three hundred and eighty-seven rooms, eleven more than the North Building.
Zhang Jiebin had no purpose. He was just curious and wanted to kill time. I asked again as if he were on Qingqingfang Street: "I heard that the female straights in the North Pavilion fought with the beauties in the South Pavilion yesterday, and the two female straights were knocked down.
Do you know about a dozen beauties?"
One, two, three, a group of people from Yuheqiao West Street also gathered and began to tell the story vividly.
The incident happened near here, and the people here are more talkative.
"At that time, those North Koreans had just come out and wanted to do business with me secretly. Hey, is that what I can do? In the early years, it was possible to do business if it was not easy. Now, any business is not profitable, so why take risks?"
"Don't listen to his ramblings. Let me tell you, the envoys from various countries who opened the embassy yesterday and have been holding back for a few days are called crazy. They are selling, purchasing, and playing. It happened that several Jurchens came over, and the straight Jurchens all had the same idea. Beauty
The same goes for North Korea. Yes, it was the North Koreans who took action first, thinking that they could attack the small with more, but the result was terrible. One person died. The accompanying driver was also implicated. That is a loss."
"Yes, why should foreign envoys break the law and I, an official of the Ming Dynasty, be guilty of the same crime? It doesn't make sense!"
"Don't be dissatisfied. Some of your friends are visiting. You asked your son to take the friends to visit, and the two friends got into a fight. Did you hit the son who was accompanying you, or the friend?"
"Hey, it really makes sense."
"What is this called? A country of etiquette. How can I, the Ming Dynasty, a state of etiquette, be like this barbarian?"
Zhang Jiebin laughed and asked: "Uncles, how many envoys have come to the South Pavilion?"
One person sneered and said, "You're from out of town, right? I can tell everyone that in the past few years, envoys from sixty-three countries have stayed in this guild hall."
"How do you know? It's not just bragging, right?"
"Hey, why don't you believe it? My son is the ambassador inside, and this is his third year on duty. He knows exactly which envoys are coming inside. As for North Korea, they came several times that year. Hey, to tell you the truth, I I also know what happened in the past three years, and my boy will be done with his job this year."

Seeing that he could not learn more about the situation, Zhang Jiebin returned along the road. The shops along the street were all decorated in a prosperous manner. Would he like to decorate the cell as well? After thinking for a while, he decided to take Shen Yourong with him.< /p>
I did what I thought of, so I hurried to the dungeon. When I arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, I saw a young man standing aside.
Zhang Jiebin understood and asked: "Brother, are you also here to become a disciple?"
When the man heard this, he turned around, looked at Zhang Jiebin, nodded and said, "Come and take a look, are you too?"
Zhang Jiebin saw that the young man seemed frail, but his temperament gave people an extraordinary feeling. He said: "I came to take a look too."
"I've been here for half an hour. You might as well wait with me for Mr. Jiming to come out."
"If you don't come out in one day, why wait all day?"
"Yes."
"What if we don't leave for ten days?"
"Just wait for ten days."
"What if Mr. Jiming is not here?"
"No, if you keep kowtowing for a day, Mr. Ji Ming will be here."
"So confident?"
"I asked the jailer about it."
"Ten days without food, drink or sleep?"
"You can continue to eat, drink, and have diarrhea as usual, just rest at night and wait during the day."
"If you are not smart enough, Mr. Jiming may not accept you."
"Why do you say this?"
"Let's see what I do." Zhang Jiebin was amused. He walked to the guard and said softly: "Pretend that you don't know me. Do you hear me? I'll make things difficult for the young man behind me later."
"Hello, sir, I'm here to see Mr. Jiming." Seeing the jailer nodding, he said, and after speaking, he walked in swaggeringly.
When the young man saw him entering like this, he hesitated for a moment, took two steps, then returned to where he was, and continued to stand solemnly.
Zhang Jiebin walked into the inner room and took Shen Yourong with him. He didn't have much money in his hand, but Shen Yourong did!
He walked in quietly, glanced at He Liangchen, and whispered in Shen Yourong's ear: "Junior brother, let's surprise Master together for the Lantern Festival tomorrow! There will be no midnight banquet tonight, don't talk, let's go out quietly. ."
After Zhang Jiebin turned around and left, He Liangchen shouted: "Why are you so sneaky?"
Zhang Jiebin rolled his eyes and turned around with a smile: "I told my junior brother that there is someone locked up in the prison, and there is a young scholar Cheng Menlixue outside the prison who wants to impress the master! I asked my junior brother to inspect it with me. Let’s see if our junior brother is qualified enough. If not, let him leave quickly. After all, standing for a long time will hurt his bones. If he fails to become a disciple, he will suffer a big loss if he doesn’t grow taller.”
Shen Yourong was stunned, did you say this just now? He couldn't do anything about this lively little senior brother. He was smart but not focused, and was interested in everything, but when he was serious, he felt ashamed.
He Liangchen waved his hand and ignored him. Zhang Jiebin urged as he walked: "Junior brother, hurry up, I'll wait for you outside."
Shen Yourong packed up and asked, "Master, are you going to go out and have a look?"
"Go, go! It's Lantern Festival, you can rest these days." He Liangchen said.
Shen Yourong bowed before turning around and going out.
He Liangchen smiled bitterly, one of these two disciples was neither big nor small, and the other was very formal.
Zhang Jiebin took three steps at a time and hurried out, without putting down the book in his hand. He came to the young man's side and whispered to him: "Look, I've already gone in, are you going in again?" ?"
The young man shook his head.
"Why not come in?" Zhang Jiebin asked curiously.
"Book." The boy spit out one word.
"Book?" Zhang Jiebin shook the book in his hand and asked strangely: "What happened to the book?"
The young man didn't say anything, so Zhang Jiebin became anxious and urged him: "Speak quickly, speak quickly, don't show off!"
The young man had no choice but to say: "You are Mr. Jiming's disciple, of course you can come in and out, but I am not."
Zhang Jiebin immediately understood that the young man had guessed it from the book in his hand. He was so disappointed that he wanted to tease the young man and make him smarter in the future, but who would have thought he would be so smart?
"Zhang Jiebin is in Xiashanyin." Seeing that he had already guessed it, Zhang Jiebin did not hide it and saluted openly.
"King Minghe of Shanyang." The young man returned the greeting and said with a slightly strange expression.
When Zhang Jiebin heard this, he felt as if he had been subjected to a body-fixing spell. He froze. He was not sure whether the young man was making fun of him. Is it such a coincidence, one is the yin of the mountain, the other is the yang of the mountain? Or is it revenge for the previous tricks on him?
