Romance Chinese Network

"Is this Jinling?"

When he saw the majestic city wall, Bahan felt that he was really a bumpkin.

"This is the outer city!"

The officials who 'accompanied' them into the city secretly sneered.

This is after Zhu Yuanzhang built Jinling City, he felt that the mountains outside the city were condescending, and it would be easy to attack the inside of the city, so he built the outer city along the hills outside the city.

After entering the outer city, it began to become prosperous. Bahan didn't want to be ashamed, so he acted dignified, but his followers pointed to those shops and whispered, which made him a little annoyed.

But when he saw the walls of the inner city, Bahan was stunned.

So strong and tall city walls, how to attack?

And looking to both sides, Bahan was dizzy again, he couldn't see the side!

How many troops would it take to surround such a powerful city?

After entering the city, the bustling scene made Bahan numb.

After arriving at the posthouse, Bahan came to his senses and summoned his followers to discuss matters.

"As you have seen just now, those Ming people are well-dressed, a thousand times better than those smelly poor ghosts in Taixi, so this is an opportunity."

A follower wondered: "My lord, what kind of goods does the Ming need?"

"I don't know either."

Bahan has been thinking about this issue all the way. From the perspective of food and clothing, the Ming people are completely self-sufficient, and the foreign ones are just decorations.

Like spices!

what to do?

Seeing these worried eyes, Bahan comforted: "It's nothing, I will buy and sell more from Daming, and as for the return journey...just bring some novelty things."

Trade is like a truck, the efficiency of running unilaterally is too low.

There are in and out, and the back and forth are fully loaded. This is a qualified businessman.

...

The memorial was already on the road, and Zhu Zhanji handed over the prisoner to the Ministry of Punishment, and they sent him to Beijing.

"Uncle, that Mu Jian is dead."

As a result, the criminal department sent the bad news the day after the delivery.

"Who did it?" Fang Xing asked coldly.

There are too many unspoken rules in the prison, and Mu Jian is the main culprit. Seeing her family members being bullied may not be able to bear it.

"Uncle, it was suicide. He made a rope out of his coat, put it on the cell door in the middle of the night and strangled himself to death."

Fang Xing immediately went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and saw the dead Mu Jian.

"You locked him up with his two sons?"

Fang Xing felt that the Ministry of Criminal Justice had made a big mistake, "Mu Jian was a strict father in front of his two sons, but now that he committed a crime, the strict father's frame collapsed, and the reputation of a gentleman is not good. You want him to be a strict father to your sons?" Do you repent in front of me?"

Mu Jian's face was ashen, with her tongue sticking out of her mouth, as if she was laughing, sneering!

Wang Shuyue said embarrassingly: "The lower officials have asked people to investigate. So far, no one has been found to be dereliction of duty or collusion. It's just... unless it is a criminal who is about to be beheaded, the general punishment department will not arrange people to watch."

The so-called staring is to arrange a few more prisoners in the cell of the prisoner who is going to be beheaded, and use them to stare. Once something happens, it will be their fault, and the crime will be added to the crime.

"The lower officials let his family of three stay in the same cell, just to restrain each other, so nothing will happen."

Wang Shuyue was very wronged, and felt that his arrangement was absolutely fine: "I didn't expect that his two sons didn't find out, this Mu Jian just wanted to die!"

Fang Xing heard the sound of crying coming from the depths of the cell, and he said: "Mu Jian likes to pretend, he claims to be a gentleman, but now his image of a gentleman and his father's dignity have been swept away at the same time, such a face-saving person, he faces him all day long." For the son who used to regard himself as an idol, he can only live to see hell!"

Seeing Wang Shu getting more terrified, Fang Xing said: "It's not entirely your fault, I'm also negligent here, that's all, it doesn't hurt to let those people laugh."

Wang Shuyue was very grateful when he heard the words, and sent Fang Xing out all the way, and finally said: "Xing Hebo is generous, and the officials are not ambiguous. If the capital blames it, the officials will be the first to receive the punishment!"

Fang Xing looked at the bright sun outside,

I just felt that the chilly atmosphere in the prison just now gradually dissipated.

"There will be no blame. Many people are looking forward to this, so let's go."

Fang Xing got on his horse and left, Wang Shuyue murmured, "Want to? What are you going to do?"

...

"Mu Jian committed suicide."

Fang Xing dropped a sentence and went to look at Mo Chou. Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a while, and said regretfully, "This man is determined. He is worried that he will become an opportunity for the treasure ship to go to sea again, and make it difficult for his descendants?"

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji shook his head and laughed, thinking it was impossible.

If she could have such a brain, why would Mu Jian smuggle overseas!

"Where is Master Quan?"

"My lord is out of town."

Zhu Zhanji said with a black face: "It's the gathering of those scholars again?"

"Yes, Your Highness, my lord said that we must have a good talk today."

Jia Quan thinks that such a moral gentleman as Quan Jin is really too kind, as long as he wants to do something, it must have a beginning and an end, and a beginning and an end.

Mo Chou's belly is a bit big, Fang Xing has forbidden her to go back to the Immortal Residence, and stay here until the child is born.

And Quan Jin is like an old man with a second spring, going around among the scholars in Jinling all day long, using his appeal to add points to Zhu Zhanji.

When Quan Jin came back drunk again, Zhu Zhanji ordered him not to go out again.

"Your Highness, I can still drink!"

Quan Jin lay on the bed and drank the hangover soup and still didn't stop, but Zhu Zhanji didn't dare to let him torment like this anymore.

"If this continues, he will either die of drunkenness or exhaustion."

Zhu Zhanji signaled the doctor to go in, his face was not very good-looking.

"Those scholars are taking advantage of their reputation. How can the so-called gatherings be so frequent? Don't you study?"

Quan Jin's reputation is so good that Zhu Gaochi had to invite him to accompany Zhu Zhanji in order to improve Zhu Zhanji's 'personality'.

Such a gentleman with a good character, everyone wants to come and take a chance.

As long as you are praised by Quan Jin, or even stayed with Quan Jin, you can go out and brag in the future as your own capital.

Back in her small courtyard, Mochou was walking in the courtyard with her big belly, when she saw him, she said happily, "Master, that kid kicked my concubine!"

"Yeah?"

Fang Xing walked over, squatted in front of her, put his ear on her belly and listened.

It's a pity that there was no movement after listening for a while, Fang Xing got up regretfully and said: "This child is probably afraid of his father, so he hid."

Mochou covered her mouth and smiled, "No way! If it was a girl, she would definitely not be afraid."

The woman was still struggling with the sex of the child.

Fang Xing supported her, and said as he walked, "It doesn't matter if the child is a boy or a girl, as long as it's not male or female."

Mochou burst out laughing, leaving the melancholy behind.

Fang Xing still couldn't understand the behavior of those scholars in the Tang Dynasty who put on make-up and even put on lipstick, thinking that it was purely immoral.

The current Daming is better, but it is limited. After a few more decades, it is estimated that there will be a group of indistinguishable guys, and they will be proud of it.

The weather was getting hotter, Fang Xing helped Mo Chou into the house, and then started to cook.

Cooking is all about mixing different ingredients together, and the whole process is like a chemical change.

A good cook will make this change pleasing to the eye and to the five senses.

Amidst the fragrance, Fang Xing prepared a Kung Pao Chicken. Li Jing came in quietly, walked to his side and said, "Xing He Bo, the following land investigation has killed someone!"

Fang Xing was startled, the movements of his hands remained unchanged, and after putting the Kung Pao Chicken on a plate, he continued to make crucian carp soup.

After frying for a while, adding water, Fang Xing turned around and asked, "This is a matter for the Ministry of Household Affairs."

The Jinling Household Department took on the important task of clearing up the illegal collection and donation of land by the students in various places, and the progress was very slow. According to Qu Sheng, this is an errand that brought disaster on him.

So the people below are not active, and asking for help from all levels of government is mostly coping with it. The capital has already urged it several times.

Li Jing said: "I heard that it was a small official from Shangyuan County who went to investigate, but he met someone who was arrogant, and finally chased and beat...the small official was beaten to death."

Fang Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What's the name of that little official?"

Li Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."

A petty official means a low status, and everyone is only interested in the incident. As for the dead person, at most they will give some compensation.
