Chapter 184 Behind the Truth

Zhang Cheng looked at Wu Si and said nothing.

Wu Si looked at him wrongly.

He knew that what he planned was over.

The glory and wealth also flew away.

Zhang Cheng didn't say a word, but Wu Si explained everything he knew from the beginning.

Zhang Cheng wanted to die by himself, so he let him die.

Zhang Cheng publicized the news that the world was about to be amnesty calculated by himself. The hexagrams on weekdays were fine, but once it involved matters at the court level, few people would believe it.

So Zhang Cheng thought of an idea when he heard Liu's complaint that his son could not marry his daughter-in-law.

The common people don't believe it because the imperial court is too far away for them. What if there is a living example around them?
Still don't believe it?

Zhang Cheng and Wu Si knew each other because Wu Si went to him for a fortune-telling.

In a coincidence, Zhang Cheng knew about the deal between Zhang Sanzhu and Wu Si, which is now in handy.

So, he inadvertently reminded Liu Shi, and Liu Shi fell into his trap unprepared.

Zhang Cheng asked Wu Si to deliberately sell a bald girl to Zhang Sanzhu. Based on his understanding of the Liu family and Tieniu, there would definitely be disputes over this matter.

As for murder, it might not be this far.

So there has to be one of them to facilitate this murder case.

This person is the most neglected victim, Zhang Sanzhu's son, Zhang Ergou.

Zhang Ergou is not Zhang Sanzhu's biological son, but a child Zhang Sanzhu bought from Wu Si. On weekdays, Zhang Sanzhu has often done something to Ergou, and Ergou has long hated him, so when Zhang Cheng approached him, He agreed without the slightest hesitation.

When Zhang Sanzhu was frowning that evening, Zhang Ergou gave Zhang Sanzhu the idea of ​​letting Yao Erya go to Tieniu's house at night.

Zhang Sanzhu thought, this idea is really good, so he followed Zhang Ergou's idea.

Zhang Sanzhu has a reckless personality, is impulsive, has a poisonous mouth, and can't be provoked. It just so happens that Tieniu also has a similar temperament. In addition, he has a little brain problem and can't stand being bullied by others. The result of the two colliding is self-evident .

Thinking of the child who was kneeling and crying out of breath in front of him, Li Ying took a deep breath and closed his eyes, then opened them, with nothing but coldness in his eyes, and ordered indifferently, "Bring Zhang Ergou."

However, the yamen servants were doomed to fail.

As soon as the case of Zhang Sanzhu's death was settled, Zhang Ergou entrusted someone to sell the yard, and the excuse was to go to a distant relative.

For more than a month, Zhang Ergou has disappeared.

Li Ying asked the document to issue the arrest warrant, and then ordered it to be posted on the bulletin boards of each county.

However, the nature of Zhang Cheng's case is quite special. Relying on his own ability, Zhang Cheng does not pay attention to the court, the government, and the law at all. This trend cannot be encouraged.

Li Ying then decided to sentence him to beheaded ten days later, while Liu's mother and son's punishment and date would not change.

When Wu Si's role was exhausted, Xue Jue talked to Li Ying and took him away.

As for how he interrogated and what the specific content of the interrogation was, that was another matter.

Li Ying and others thought that this matter was completely over. Who knew that the fuse of the firecracker had been quietly ignited, and its sparks were gradually approaching the firecracker. When the fuse was completely burned, the moment the spark penetrated into the firecracker, the firecracker exploded when.

The story of Zhang Cheng's beheading was spread all over the Jianghu, and everyone would sigh a few words, and at the same time, it was a taboo matter for the court.

The ninth day of September is the Double Ninth Festival.

People in this era regard nine as the number of yang, and the moon and the sun correspond to yang, so it is called Chongyang, also known as Chongjiu.

The method of worshiping mountains on Chongjiu is roughly the same as that of sweeping graves during the Qingming Festival. Grave sweepers first remove the weeds in the tombs of their ancestors and clean up the cemetery.

Then post brook money, put three animals and fruits, tea, wine, rice and chopsticks sacrifices, burn ingots, candles, gold, silver and cloth paper during worship.

Every cemetery does this.

For this day, some people who make a living outside will rush back to visit the tomb in their busy schedules to express their sorrow for chasing after the end.

Of course, this is the Double Ninth Festival for ordinary people.

As for the literati, they carried out such elegant activities as planting dogwood, admiring chrysanthemums in the east fence, and dropping hats in Longshan.

Only for literati and refined scholars.

Watching chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival, toasting together to talk about mulberry.

This wine is naturally chrysanthemum wine.

"Chrysanthemum wine" is the wine made from chrysanthemums. According to "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes", "when the chrysanthemums are relaxed, the stems and leaves are picked, and the millet is used to make it. It will be ripe on September [-] of the next year, so it is called. Chrysanthemum wine."

In this era, during the Double Ninth Festival of the first year, wine was specially made for the Double Ninth Festival of the second year.

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, first-blooming chrysanthemums and some green branches and leaves are picked, and they are mixed with grains to make wine, and they will be drunk until the second year of Chongyang Festival.

They believe that this wine can "cure all diseases and make longevity".

The students of Fengchi Academy also invited their friends and classmates to Liuhe Mountain outside the city to hold a poetry meeting there.

At the invitation of the dean of Fengchi Academy, Li Ying also went there.

After the dean of Fengchi Academy and Li Ying finished their concluding remarks, everyone began to drink and compose poems.

Chrysanthemum wine is inseparable from climbing the heights on Chongyang Festival, and so is poetry of course.

Fu Yuanzhi and Adi made a chrysanthemum poem in the game respectively.

Fu Yuanzhi:
The garden is full of flowers, chrysanthemums and tulips, among which there are solitary clumps that look like frost.

It's like the banquet of the present song, and the pulsatilla enters the juvenile field!
Song Yi:

The diameter of the chrysanthemum in the east of the fence is deep, and it can be broken from Gu Yin.

The clothes are half wet in the rain, holding the nose and knowing the heart.

The process of the poetry meeting is warm and elegant.

September 27

A piece of news that caused a sensation in the entire court appeared in the capital.

A man who claimed to be a disciple of Zhang Cheng wrote a letter, accusing Li Ying of befriending the literati of Fengchi Academy to slander the court, insult the emperor for being fatuous, extravagant and lustful, and corrupt customs.

Emperor Tianyou was furious upon hearing this, and issued an edict to arrest Li Ying, and ordered all scholars who had contacts with Li Ying to be imprisoned.

After the arrest warrant was issued, Li Ying's friend Du Wu wanted to inform Li Ying of the news in advance.

But what he didn't know was that the messenger who was sent out of the city was shot to death with an arrow before leaving the boundary of the capital.

Li Ying was a faction of King Jing, and King Jing was still in Liaodong at this time, without his immediate superior to keep him, he could only become a fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.

the second day of october
Song Huan loaded all the food and daily necessities into the mule cart, and they will leave Jiangning Mansion tomorrow.

Today's food and salt prices have stabilized.

Don't get me wrong, it's a trend towards high prices and stability.

The price of rice is [-] Wen a catty. As for the price of salt, because the salt merchants in Danyang County got the salt, the price is currently kept at [-] Wen a catty.

As for the price of food, there is no way, because of the war in Liaodong, the south-to-north transfer of grain, and the continuous war, the grain has to be transported continuously to ensure the food and grass for the soldiers.

Therefore, its price will only continue to rise.

Even if the fighting stops, the common people can only wait for the next year's bumper harvest to recover. If there are difficulties, it may take two or three years to recover.

Because of the impact of salt and food prices, the prices of products such as sauce and vinegar have also risen a lot.

Sauce rose from the original five cents a bowl to eighteen cents a bowl.

According to Song Huan's judgment on the form, the price of salt is probably more expensive in places other than Danyang County where there are salt fields.

Outside, the price of salt also includes the cost of time spent in the middle and transportation costs.

If there is someone who wants to make a fortune for the country, let alone.

Salt is durable, Song Huan thinks that besides rice, she should stock up more salt.

However, Brother Mule can only bear so much weight, and no matter how much he hoards, it must be within the range of Brother Mule.
