Li Yong explained: "Most of these people are in arrears in taxes, and a few are criminals... The total number adds up to hundreds. Governor Yang once issued a decree called the Redemption Law. As long as they are criminals,
, you can atone for your sins by taking money. However, Zhuojun is also a bitter and cold place, and food and clothing are still a problem for the people. How can you have so much money to atone for your sins? As a result, the prison will be overcrowded..."
"Please, my lord, please release these people who were innocently imprisoned by Governor Yang." Gao Tanglong pleaded.
"This... let me think about it!" Zuo Aoran pondered for a moment and said, "Just as Tang Long said... it's just that those who committed crimes will not be released. They will be beheaded at Caishikou tomorrow at noon."
After walking forward for a while, they saw three people imprisoned in a cell. These three people were Zuo Aoran's three brothers, Zhu Ci, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang. The jailer quickly opened the cell door, and Zuo Aoran
Ao Ran walked into the cell and saw the scene in the cell, tears welled up in his eyes.
Liu Hu, Jiang Yiqu, and Gao Tanglong rushed forward, carried Zhu Ci, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang on their shoulders, and walked out of the prison. Zuo Aoran came out of the cell and glanced at a cell inadvertently.
But unexpectedly, he found a middle-aged man sitting in the cell.
The jailer said: "Sir, the people here are all serious criminals, most of whom have committed extremely heinous crimes and are ready to be executed."
Zuo Aoran ignored the jailer's words and took a closer look at the man's appearance. He was not the kind of person with a sinister face and a ferocious face. On the contrary, in Zuo Aoran's eyes, this man looked quite a bit...
It tastes otherworldly. Especially his eyes are shining with a kind of light.
"Who is that?" Zuo Aoran asked.
The jailer looked at the man, shook his head to Zuo Aoran, and said, "I don't know. When I came to the prison to serve, that man was already in the prison. I also checked the records.
But the record does not record what crime this person committed, it just says life imprisonment."
Li Yong next to Zuo Aoran said: "Sir, I know this man. He was captured three years ago. Who does this man claim to be from? Anyway, he made something called a water wheel. He said
He was helping the people irrigate their fields, but I don’t know what happened next. A thousand acres of farmland owned by Commander Yang were flooded. Commander Yang was furious and took him to prison."
Zuo Aoran didn't pay attention to anything and turned around to leave, but suddenly he seemed to remember something. He hesitated and walked to the door of the cell regardless of Li Yong's obstruction.
The man in the cell had disheveled hair and some disheveled clothes.
When he saw Zuo Aoran, he was startled at first, then his eyes brightened, but soon dimmed.
Zuo Aoran thought for a while and said softly: "Sir, what is your name?"
His reaction was dull at first, but after a moment, he suddenly became very excited, and his face was a little distorted. "What did you just call me? What did you call me... You called me sir, did you call me sir?"
Arriving in front of the cell door, he stretched out his hand from the fence and grabbed Zuo Aoran's robe: "Did you just call me sir?"
The jailer was frightened. This lunatic was going crazy at this time. If he hurt the new prefect, wouldn't he be in trouble?
"You bastard, let go quickly. This is the new governor of Zhuo County. Don't let go now!" the jailer scolded.
Zuo Aoran was shocked at first, but soon calmed down. This man looked crazy, but he couldn't scare Zuo Aoran. After all, he came out of the bloody storm, what kind of scene have he not seen? What kind of scene?
Have you ever killed anyone? How could Zuo Aoran be afraid!
Zuo Aoran waved his hand to signal the jailer not to speak, and then said in a deep voice: "Yes, I will call you sir, but you have to tell me your name."
"The grassman's surname is Ma Jun, his given name is Deheng, and he is from Fufeng County."
Zuo Aoran laughed loudly after hearing this, but this laugh frightened the people in the cell. Ma Jun!? Ma Jun?! He is the great inventor of the Han Dynasty who has: "The name of the world is clever",
The compass wheel, the waterwheel, and the improved catapult were all his masterpieces.
"Come here, please Mr. Deheng, please wash yourself, change clothes and come back to see me. Tang Long, I will leave it to you to handle the matter regarding the prisoners in this prison." Zuo Aoran ordered.
"Here!" Gao Tanglong responded.
Without waiting for Ma Jun in the cell to say thank you or ask questions in his heart, Zuo Aoran strode away. The jailer's attitude immediately changed and he asked him to come out with a smile. On the contrary, Li Yong looked puzzled.
He looked at Ma Jun, snorted coldly, turned around and left the prison.
Zuo Aoran was sitting in the hall of the government office, waiting for Ma Jun's arrival. Zhu Ci, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang were also woken up and sat aside with ashamed faces. Luo Shixin stood next to Zuo Aoran, and Liu
Hu, Jiang Yiqu, and Gao Tanglong were sitting on the left, Aoran, with their hands hanging down on the right, and everyone was chatting.
At this time, Ma Jun was brought over. Zuo Aoran quickly stood up. When everyone saw Zuo Aoran getting up, of course they also stood up and let Ma Jun into the hall.
Ma Jun, who had been cleansed, looked exactly like the man in the cell. He had a thin face and a slender build. He had a black beard and a black beard under his chin. He wore a green gown and looked quite airy.
Divine temperament.
"Sir, you have suffered!" Zuo Aoran saluted.
Zuo Aoran ordered people to arrange wine and food to calm Ma Jun's shock. During the banquet, everyone got to know each other, especially Jiang Yiqu, who apologized to Zhu Ci, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang during the banquet, saying that he should not be like this
, it shouldn’t be like that. In the end, Liu Hu pierced the window paper and told the story about Jiang Yiqu’s fake sledgehammer that scared away the three people. Everyone burst into laughter.
Of course, Zuo Aoran and Ma Jun had the most fun chatting during the banquet. Ma Jun had many bold ideas. To people of this era, these ideas were as unconstrained as the imagination. No one would agree with it, and some people would even agree with it.
Think he is crazy.
But Zuo Aoran greatly agreed with his ideas and praised them greatly. Not only that, Zuo Aoran also told Ma Jun many of his opinions and ideas. These ideas far exceeded Ma Jun's.
Jun's brain thinking became too much for Ma Jun's brain to accept, and he crashed many times.
However, every time Ma Jun takes a chance, it will give him a lot of insights, and Ma Jun admires Zuo Aoran's various thoughts and opinions. Now Ma Jun's attitude towards Zuo Aoran can be described as worship. Zuo Aoran's image
It has been deeply imprinted in Ma Jun's heart. To borrow a current sentence: "Idol!"
After three rounds of the tavern and five dishes, Zuo Aoran said to Ma Jun: "My husband and I are very close, and I am willing to help Mr. Deheng fulfill his lifelong wish."
When Ma Jun heard this, he was very excited. He knelt in front of Zuo Aoran, kowtowed and said: "My lord is here, please accept Ma Jun's worship."
Zuo Aoran hurriedly helped Ma Jun up and said, "Sir, I am like a tiger with two wings."
Since Zuo Aoran was so happy with Ma Jun, the two talked together every day, and Ma Jun repeatedly praised Zuo Aoran's ideas. As time went by, Zuo Aoran discovered that Ma Jun could not perform at all when he was around him.
You can do it yourself. Because all of Zuo Aoran's ideas are only in theory and not in practice, Zuo Aoran can't give effective help when Ma Jun invents things. He just provides him with some theories, so Ma Jun relies on Zuo Aoran.
