It’s just a small room, is it possible that there are snakes, insects, rats, and ants inside?
But when the door closed, everything was dark.
The most important thing is that there is no sound at all.
A huge fear enveloped Ma Wencai's whole body.
Things don't seem that simple!
Ma Wencai's heart was beating wildly. He could even hear the thumping sound of his heart, and the sound of his breathing was even clearer to his ears.
"help me!"
Marven couldn't help shouting.
Unfortunately, the sound only echoed in the small dark room and disappeared after a while.
Fear, loneliness, trembling... wrap people up like darkness.
…
The second day.
Early in the morning.
At the gate of Wannian County Yamen, there was a huge crowd, with hundreds of people gathered.
All of these people are either rich or noble, and they all come to the county government to beg for help.
It is the family members of the one hundred scholars who were sent to Hu County yesterday. Now that they have received the news, of course they will come to ask for their lives.
These people all have a good background.
There are famous merchants, landlords, and many officials in Chang'an City.
Even the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government were implicated. However, these ministers did not come forward out of shame, but sent their servants to the county government to cause trouble.
Someone said angrily: "I sent my grandson to Banshan College because I wanted him to study diligently and ask questions so that he could take part in scientific examinations and gain fame in the future. However, the Wannian County Government was not so kind as it just took him away from Banshan College and made him
It is unreasonable to work as a clerk at the tax bureau to collect taxes. I will never tolerate this."
"Yes, my son is extremely smart and will be a general or prime minister in the future. How can he be a clerk in the tax bureau!"
"My son is a Wenqu star who came to earth. The fortune teller said that he will definitely pass the high school if he takes the scientific examination this year."
One by one, the bullshit gets louder and louder.
Unfortunately, the Wannian County Government Office is closed.
Not to mention the county magistrate Du He, even the government officials have never seen one.
Half an hour later.
Inside the county government office, it was still quiet.
Some people couldn't help it anymore: "Everyone, Magistrate Du must be avoiding us. If we wait here, I'm afraid no one will come out to see us today. Why don't we break the door open and break in?"
"right!"
"Break in!"
Some bold guys shouted, then rushed to the gate of the county government, took out swords, guns and sticks, and prepared to pry open the gate of Wannian County Government.
Creaky.
At this moment, the county government door opened.
A group of Guancheng soldiers rushed out with mace-toothed clubs and quickly surrounded both sides.
The guys who were shouting loudly before immediately retreated.
The prestige of the Guancheng Brigade has already spread to all directions.
Then, a young man came out.
Someone exclaimed: "It's Prince Consort Du!"
It's Du He.
Du He glanced around and asked coldly: "You have surrounded the county government office so early in the morning. Do you still want to break into the county government office and rebel?"
An old man stepped forward and said: "Prince-in-law, have you misunderstood? We are all here to visit our children. We are not here to cause trouble, let alone rebel?"
Du He raised his eyebrows: "A child in the family?"
The old man nodded: "That's right, Prince Consort, I am an official of Jingzhao Mansion, my name is Ma Dongmei, my son Ma Wencai is studying at Banshan College, but last night I received news that the Chang'an Taxation Bureau went to Banshan College to arrest my son.
Take it away, I just came to ask about the situation."
"And my son, Li Dazhuang!"
"My grandson was also taken to the tax bureau."
The crowd was furious.
Du He slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "Everyone, it turns out that you are here for this matter, but Mr. Ma, you are in the wrong place."
ah?
Ma Dongmei and others were all stunned.
Du He explained: "If you want people, you should go to Banshan College, because the list of one hundred people recruited by the tax bureau was given by Dean Wang of Banshan College, and there is also Dean Wang's letter. Banshan College
I promised to select 100 people to serve in the Chang'an Taxation Bureau. If you want to bite people, you should go to Wang Chongji. As long as Wang Chongji has a handwritten letter, I can release them at any time."
Ma Dongmei asked: "Does the consort really mean what he said?"
"Absolutely true!"
Ma Dongmei thought for a while and said: "In that case, I will go to Banshan College now and ask Dean Wang for a handwritten letter."
"Yes, go find Dean Wang!"
"Go quickly!"
A group of people came slowly and left quickly, rushing towards Banshan College outside the city.
Du He stared at the backs of Ma Dongmei and others, turned around and ordered: "Evacuate all the people and enter the county government office."
Ma San'er, who returned to the county government office, asked: "Sir, what if there is no one to guard me and someone comes back and smashes the gate and other things?"
Du He sneered and said: "Find someone to keep an eye on it secretly. Whoever smashes it will pay ten times the compensation."
…
Mid-Levels College.
Wang Chongji sat behind the table and said with a proud smile on his face: "Hahaha, Du He, this guy is just setting himself up. He actually dared to let the Guancheng Brigade arrest him. Now he is reaping the consequences of this.
Many people went to Wannian County Government to ask for help, and all of them had high backgrounds, which was enough to give him a headache for a while."
The steward also said: "Dean, this move of yours can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only gets rid of all those uneducated scholars, but also brings peace and tranquility to the college. It also throws the trouble to Magistrate Du. It's really wonderful."
ah!"
Wang Chongji said: "As a scholar, I disdain playing tricks, but Du He came to force me, so I had to use a little trick."
The manager immediately flattered him and said: "Dean, if you go to the battlefield, you will be in the midst of well-deserved strategizing and decisive victory thousands of miles away. Those things Du Ma did in Youzhou that flooded Fan Yang's army, captured and defeated them three times.
To you, it’s all just trivial.”
After Wang Chongji heard this, he nodded with great satisfaction.
While these two people kept boasting, they heard the commotion outside.
Wang Chongji frowned: "Why is it so noisy?"
But Wang Hu, the guard leader of Banshan College, hurried in and said with a calm expression: "Dean, something bad has happened. The mountain gate has been broken through, and those people have already broken in."
What?
Wang Chongji suddenly stood up: "Who are they?"
Wang Hu stammered: "They are the families of those students who were arrested by Guancheng Brigade yesterday!"
Wang Chongji's expression changed drastically: "Didn't these people all go to Wannian County Yamen? Why did they suddenly come to Banshan College?"
The man in charge hurried out.
After a short time, he turned back and said: "Dean, these people were originally sent back by Du He. Du He asked them to come to the dean to ask for a handwritten letter. He also said that as long as they have your handwritten letter, the tax bureau will release it immediately.
people."
Wang Chongji was stunned and said: "Do they really believe Du He's words?"
"It is said that Du He showed these people the roster and the dean's note."
Wang Chongji's eyes darkened: "Du He is shameless. I only gave him the roster yesterday. When did I give him the receipt? That receipt is fake... What a Du He, this is the real diversion of trouble!"
