Chapter 163 A single spark can start a prairie fire
Yes, with a lantern it won't be dark at night.
So hang up.
Although Xu Jian has been reduced to a prisoner, his attitude is still extremely tough. Moreover, the most important thing is that a corrupt official like him does not put the common people in his eyes, and he still curses the untouchables. Little does he know that he was also a pariah in the past.
One of a kind among all living beings.
Since he looked down upon the people, Xu Qing had to show him how great the power of the people was.

The second day
Winter is a good season to stay in bed. Even hard-working farmers huddle under the quilt and don't want to get up.
The rooster in the cage crows again and again to welcome the rising winter sun, but it still does not arouse the spirit of this majestic city.
Reluctantly, the rooster clattered back to the cage after crowing for the last time.
At this moment, loud voices suddenly came from the street, and the sound seemed to be carried five miles away in the cold winter wind.
"Excuse me! Sima Yongzhou was exiled thousands of miles away for embezzlement and bribery, and will be executed tomorrow!"
"Excuse me! After Yongzhou Sima returns from exile for a thousand miles, he will continue to punish the next crime until the thirty-two crimes are executed!"
…
"Damn it! What are you yelling about in the middle of winter?!"
"All my fucking sweet dreams were ruined by you!"
A few residents of Yongzhou City who were woken up opened the door and angrily opened the door, carrying random items they could carry, and wanted to deal with those who wanted to be beaten up by those who were shouting wantonly outside.
At this time, an old man walked out of the room on crutches, stopped a shouting man, looked at him and said, "Young man, what are you shouting about so early in the morning?"
The clerk from Qingxue Study held up something like an advertisement like the previous two times and said: "Uncle! Xu Sima has sentenced him to a thousand miles of exile!"
The old man looked at the leaflet and said: "Xu Sima? That Xu Sima from Yongzhou? I'm talking to you, young man, are you crazy? For such a big official, you just give the verdict?"
A middle-aged man who rushed behind the clerk of Qingxue Study with a stick put down the wooden stick in his hand and looked at the clerk of Qingxue Study and said: "What did you say? Who judged? Xu Sima?! Who are you bluffing? If it's that
The bastard can sentence me so easily, why should he rely on dreams to seek revenge?"
The clerk from Qingxue Study House waved the flyer in his hand and said: "It's absolutely true! He was taken to court and tried the day before yesterday! Xu Sima has been in jail for two days! He will be sealed by the Xu Mansion today!
"
Communications in this era were not developed well, and Yongzhou, the capital city of Shangzhou, was much larger. Many in the inner city may have known about Xu Sima's sentence of sealing, but most of the outer city still didn't know.
Moreover, even if the people in the inner city knew about Xu Sima's downfall, they still didn't know what the crime was for Xu Sima.
However, the newspapers from Qingxue Study gave them accurate news. The people who did not know the news knew the news, and the people who knew the news learned the more accurate charges of Xu Sima.
The middle-aged man looked at the paper in the hands of the clerk at Qingxue Study and said, "Give me a piece of paper and let me take a look!"
Another person pushed it away and said: "How can you read it if you don't know the Chinese characters? Little brother, please give me a piece and let me take a look."
The waiter from Qingxue Study shook his head and said: "No, no, it's not free. The shopkeeper said that the Yongzhou Xunbao newspaper is a penny a copy. I already know the latest news in Yongzhou City."
"A penny? How much money does it cost? It's worth it to see the judge's verdict! I want to read it even if it costs me money!"
"It's a penny thing, give me one and let me see!"
"I also want!"
"And I!"
…
But in a short time, all the newspapers in the hands of several Qingxue Study clerks were robbed, and even the copy that Qingxue Study clerks kept for themselves was taken away.
And when those customers left, they waved their fists as big as sandbags and threatened the clerks of Qingxue Study: "If I let you know that your bookstore is a liar, I will not see that dog official being exiled a thousand miles tomorrow."
We smashed your Qingxue study!"
"That's right, I've been looking forward to this day for so long! If you spread false news, I'll be the first to hit you!"
…
Qingxue Study
Xiao Ruxue took a sip of the porridge Xu Qing had just cooked, looked at Xu Qing behind the desk and asked: "Why do you want to spread such a... newspaper... oh yes... newspaper? It cost us a lot of money! Compared with how many times it is printed,
The advertising cost of the wording is too much. Will everyone know it soon tomorrow? Is there any difference between knowing it early and knowing it later?"
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and smiled and said: "You will know tomorrow. Sometimes there is a big difference between knowing one day earlier and knowing one day later."
Xiao Ruxue didn't understand what Xu Qing meant at all. After finishing the porridge, she put the bowl away, picked up the fish food and started feeding the fish, and finally returned to Xu Qing's house.
Xiao Ruxue also put two fish in Xu Qing's house, but they were small fish. According to Xiao Ruxue, this would make the house more lively and energetic.
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue was putting fish food little by little into the big basin containing two fishes in Xu Qing's house.
This winter has changed a lot of things, and it has deeply aroused people's laziness. Even Xu Qing began to feel sleepy from time to time and wanted to squint in the warm room for a while.
The only thing that has not changed is Xiao Ruxue, who is as lively and active as ever. She can run from one room to another and back again happily. Once it snows, Xiao Ruxue's excitement level will increase exponentially.
I can stay in the yard and play in the snow for half a day, and I seem to have endless energy.
The second day
Today is the day when Xu Jian, the criminal, is on the road. Exile is not a trip. No matter how bad the weather is, no matter how serious your illness is, as long as you are not dead, you have to go. Walking does not count. Your feet are shackled.
Having shackles on your hands is the most torturous thing.
On this day, Xu Sima had just been forced out of the government office by two officials. He saw two rows of people standing on both sides of the street early in the morning. They were all staring in one direction, and that was his predecessor.
Direction of Sima Road, Yongzhou.
Such a scene made the two petty officials escorting Sima Yongzhou quite puzzled. Didn't they say they were escorting a heinous and corrupt official? Why did so many people come to see him off so early in the morning?
Could it be that...Xu Sima was wrongly accused?
Just when they were thinking this, someone shouted: "The dog officer is out!"
Then a rotten egg flew over. This was not the end. In just a moment, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten radishes, etc. all came over...
This provoked the two clerks to dodge again and again... and finally ran far ahead...
