Red makeup Chitose

Chapter 139
Jin Ming turned around slightly and walked down the mountain. Ah Tuan looked at the woman's back and then at the young man in the room, his eyes darkened.

Then she twitched the corners of her lips to make herself put on a smiling face, and then chased after Jin Mingwei.

What the two of them didn't know was that Donglin in the house had already watched the scene through the green screen window. Although they couldn't hear the content of the conversation, the way the two were close, and what they were doing this time, Jin Ming Wei didn't say anything in front of him, but pulled Ah Tuan out and told her alone.

The young man's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The room after the two left was extremely quiet, Qiuyang dragged his figure for a long time, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

Jin Mingwei and A Tuan went down the mountain and entered the city. When they passed the county government office in Biandu, they saw a long queue at the gate of the government office. She was stunned: "What's the matter? Food and oil have been distributed?"

"It seems to be...tea?" A Tuan glanced at the people who had just come out of the yamen, carrying tea buckets.

"Line up, line up!" At this moment, some dissatisfied people reminded Jin Mingwei.

Jin Mingwei found himself standing in the middle of the line, hurriedly retreated to the end of the line, and asked, "Master, what are you receiving? Is the official sending care again?"

"Caring? It's only the Beijing investigation, or the few days when the imperial envoy arrives, the government will send some grain and oil, and the rest of the time it will be fine if the price of grain and oil does not increase!" An old lady looked at Jin Mingwei, who was empty-handed, "You two The lady also came to beg for tea? You didn’t bring a bucket! At least you should have a pot to put it in. If you really only beg for a sip, wouldn’t it be a loss?”

"What tea?" Jin Mingwei tried his best to look towards the yamen at the end of the line.

I only saw a few official posts and a big wooden barrel, which seemed to hold tea, and the rest were piles of human heads, so I couldn't see the details clearly.

"Maogen water chestnut tea (Note 1)!" Another aunt joined the conversation, showing two tea buckets in her hand, "Recently in autumn, when it rains and cools down, there are many people who get sick. I heard that the guards of the Yamen Yamen servants, because they stood outside for a long time to blow the wind, the rough tea they drank every day was replaced with Maogen water chestnut tea to keep them healthy."

After a pause, the aunt was very proud: "After hearing the news, many people who passed by or rested would go to the yamen to beg for tea. The efficacy of tea, after all, ordinary people, not everyone can afford to drink it."

"So these people who lined up are here to ask for tea?" Jin Mingwei was half-serious and half-joking, "...that's a yamen, and it's your tea room?"

"At the beginning, there were not many people who came to beg for it, and the official sent a few reprimands. Later, more and more people came, and the official sentry couldn't do anything!" the aunt laughed.

"Being trained more and more? Are you not afraid of the Yamen?" Jin Mingwei asked.

The people around gathered around and said in one go: "I used to be afraid, really! I felt trembling in my calves when I passed by! But I heard that the bandits in Xiaoshagou killed more than a dozen officials, and even threw their bodies into the valley ! By the way, the little lady hasn’t heard of it yet, right? The government started to block the news, but the paper couldn’t contain the fire, and it slowly spread out. After all, there are more than a dozen lives!”

"The news spread more and more widely. The villagers and neighbors said that the vicious officials are not so scary! Even bandits dare to kill more than a dozen of them! It was autumn and there were many sick people, so we were so brave , Dare to ask for tea!"

"Thinking back, we used to be afraid of officials and adults, so we scared ourselves! Only now do we realize that they are human beings just like us, and if they don't have three heads and six arms, they will all die!"

"Everyone is going to die!" Jin Mingwei joked, his heart was already undercurrent.

Where is Yamen?
The majesty of the sky is unpredictable, the disparity between the government and the people, the common people kneel and worship the black gauze hat, the foundation is to be quiet and majestic, what's more, you have to stop making noise when passing by, bow your head down, and your waist is soft and soft.

Not to mention everyone queuing up to ask for tea?Still carrying buckets to pack.

It is almost the same as the teahouse on the street, which shows that the majesty of the government has undergone some kind of "change".
