The sky is cold at the end of the year and the north wind is cold.
A snow last night caused the temperature in the capital to drop sharply.
All the pedestrians who got up early were shrinking their necks and tightening their cuffs to avoid being eroded by the cold.
The entire capital is in ruins, and houses on the street are being repaired everywhere.
The clouds that were approaching the army dissipated, making the atmosphere on the street relaxed.
Various stalls on the roadside have already been set up, and the hawking sounds are endless. Hot cakes and hot soup, wontons and soy milk are very lively.
Although the stall owners were so cold that their faces turned purple, the emperor ordered the people to be exempted from taxes for two years, which made everyone's faces full of brisk smiles.
Although the land of this dynasty was plowed by the barbarians and destroyed everywhere, it changed its sign of decadence and showed a new atmosphere.
During this period, Zhang Wu has been thinking about philosophical issues.
"Is there any way to save a corrupt and depraved dynasty?"
"The only answer is-"
"Break and then stand!"
Induce the barbarian army into the country and baptize the world with war!
When ordinary dynasties develop to the end of the year, various problems will be exposed, such as land annexation, separatist powers, corruption in the administration, etc.
These problems were not solved by the emperor, but foreigners could.
Whenever the barbarians go to a place and attack a city, what is the first thing they do?
Of course, it’s robbing food and money!
Who has more money and food?
Landlords and powerful people, famous families, and wealthy families!
Foreigners come in, but no matter who is famous in the local area or who has great power in the local area, I will kill the one with the right to steal it, and the rich family will be robbed.
Under such baptism, the powerful people entrenched in various places and the families that made Da Kun so badly would be severely damaged.
They own a lot of land. When the barbarians retreat, the court takes back the land and returns it to the people. Isn’t that equivalent to changing the dynasty?
In this way, Da Kun can break through the three hundred years of national destiny and change to several generations of emperors.
However, this kind of game is really dangerous and will be completely destroyed if you are not careful.
Moreover, although the barbarian king died, the barbarians still occupied the eleven counties in the south, as if they wanted to divide these territories into the barbarians.
Next, Da Kun will face a long tug-of-war.
How to conquer lost land will become the common goal of efforts of the whole court.
Only under the pressure of foreign tribes can the fierce and fierce bosses in the court abandon their past grudges and become one.
"In the next ten years, Da Kun will flourish and become prosperous again."
Zhang Wu showed a smile on his face.
I bought three bowls of hot soup in a roadside shop, regardless of whether it was hot or not. In people's surprised eyes, they looked up and drank it all in three sips, which seemed to swallow mountains and drink cattle.
It is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times.
Although peace in the world is not a good thing for the prisoners and their income will decrease, how can it be more important than your own life?
Besides, we have a huge sum of 5,000 taels, which is enough for your ten-year expense!
He walked quickly towards the prison, and the heat flowed in his abdomen made Zhang Wu's body evaporated, like a walking smoke column, attracting frequent attention from passers-by.
During this period of hard practice of magic skills, he has made him as powerful as a cow, his appetite has opened up, and his internal energy has become full.
At the entrance of the Tianzhuo, Cheng Gou, a prison guard who came from a distance, gasped and ran quickly inside.
"Brother Wu, run quickly, and you will have to be fined if you don't have to do it."
“…”
Zhang Wu accelerated his pace and followed closely behind.
The new official has made three fuss. Since the Xinsi Prison came to power, it may have spent a lot of money or wanted to show its ambitions and become particularly strict with its previous colleagues.
Not only do you need to be punished if you don’t have to be punished, but you have to be scolded if you are lazy on patrols.
The jailers who used to be on the night liked to spend time at night, but now no one dared.
Once the gambling money is discovered, it is confiscated!
The only one who is unregulated in prison is Maliu.
Although Si Prison became an official, he could not be appointed as a prison chief and had to be promoted to the chief officer.
Liu Zhengjun was sent by Uncle Liu personally, and everyone knows it.
Logically speaking, he is the position of prison in the prison, but the sixth uncle just wants to stay away.
Besides, everyone was counting on him to "pay money" for dinner. Not only can the sixth uncle be less than the price, but no one dared to fart if he didn't come for a few days.
Of course, if Zhang Wu wants to be special, no one dares to touch him.
This is a ruthless person who dares to reject the third-rank boss!
If he doesn't leave the road of peace and prosperity, he will be a pariah, and the Minister of Justice will not even pull him into the officialdom.
But Zhang Wu thought about it one day, as long as he went to Han Shan, let alone the ninth-rank prison, even if Liu Zhengjun saw him again in two years, he would have to respectfully shout "Sir!"
...
After the end of the Domain, although Zhang Wu did not have any specific work, he consciously followed everyone to patrol the prison.
After these two months, the originally empty sky prison has gradually become lively again.
After the barbarians retreated, the court naturally had to liquidate a group of people.
Those who were scattered, those who caused chaos during the war, those who made money from the national crisis... Even the Minister of Personnel who advocated surrender before destroying the city was dismissed and sent to the Heavenly Prison.
Of course, this kind of big shot is served by the No. 1 Office Officer, and no one dares to be careless.
When Zhang Wu patrols, he finds that Liu Zhengjun, who should have been on duty in the Ministry of Justice, is trying to please him.
Not only did I prepare the best pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but also the wine, pastries, peanuts and melon seeds. I set up a small table, which was even more comfortable than at home.
Of course, Lao Liu doesn't have to pay the money himself.
The Tianzhu has public accounts and using public money to do your own business is one of the privileges of the prison officials and the prison officials.
Zhang Wu is accustomed to stay away from the big figures of the seventh rank or above.
There is great power and more right and wrong.
If you want to live for a long time, you will walk around when you see the official.
However, this scene gave him a different view of Liu Zhengjun.
"If Lao Liu could really join the Minister of Personnel, he would be in charge of the promotion of officials in the world. Even if he was dismissed, his connections would be unthinkable. He might be able to have a smooth career."
Zhang Wu returned the same way, thinking in his heart, but saw Cheng Gou running from a distance.
"Brother Wu, I'm here to work. Master Liu invites everyone to come."
“Which room is in?”
"Suppression Room!"
"Suppression room?"
Zhang Wu's eyes shrank suddenly, and he didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly walked away.
There are unwritten regulations in the prison, and the transfer of money must be carried out in the prisoner's room, which is considered the private behavior of the prisoner.
If you pull a person to the torture room and tie him to the torture rack to ask for money, it is equivalent to torture exploitation, public abuse of prisoners, and put shameful things on the table, which has a very bad impact.
Therefore, whenever a prisoner is pulled into the torture room, it has nothing to do with money.
When Zhang Wu arrived, a short man tied to the blood-stained cross crucifix in the room, with a rag in his mouth, whining out loud, looking at the prison guards in horror.
After the twenty prisoners on duty arrived during the day, Ma Liu looked at the file and said:
"The mighty general lost three thousand taels of silver bills and sued the slave for stealing it, but this slave had returned to his hometown half a month ago... According to the wishful general, there must be a statement about the three thousand taels of silver. It must be the slave for stealing it.
of."
The jailers were silent.
Ma Liu looked at the trembling prisoner on the punishment rack and said:
"It's not that we intentionally make things difficult for you. It's because Shuntian Prefecture has convicted you of stealing. Your only way out now is to entrust and admit to stealing these three thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, we can only torture you."
"Woo woo woo woo--"
The prisoner was full of injustice and shook his head desperately.
According to the law of Dakun, slaves steal money from the master and stick eighty!
The amount is huge, the beheading.
If you admit that you steal this money, you will definitely die.
Zhang Wu lowered his eyebrows and did not look at the prisoner, he knew that regardless of whether the slave admitted it or not, he would be dead.
Ma Liu called everyone over, and according to the customs in prison, everyone had to take action against such grievances that were not good but had to be completed.
In modernization, this is called risk sharing.
I usually pay for money, and everyone will share it together. Now when I encounter bad things, everyone has to bear it together.
"Everyone has three whips, but if you don't die, I'll finish the blow."
Ma Liu swung the black vine whip covered with barbed ones, raised his hand and whipped it three times. The sharp sound of the whip passing through the air made the prison guards unable to help but cover their ears.
After swinging the whip, three long bloody seals pierced through the prisoner's chest, and the prison uniforms exploded into cloth strips, causing their pain to the point of distorted and hideous face like an evil ghost.
"If you ask, you can ask for a killing. If you don't ask for help, you will die later."
Ma Liu took out the confession he had written long ago from the case file, swayed in front of the slave, and instantly broke through the other party's psychological defense.
This time, nodded and accepted his fate.
Let the jailers breathe a sigh of relief.
It also wiped out Zhang Wu's little expectation for the coming of prosperity.
