I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 41 What I Want to Save Is the World's People
Under the watchful eyes of Ma Yanshou and other officials and Wang Fu and other pavilion guards, Dai Zong drove a carriage, carried Liu He, and took more than 20 young men from Changyi to leave the Gongguan and walked towards the way he came.

At this time, the sun has already slanted to the west, and the temperature is hotter than before.

Dai Zonghe's excited appearance was a little different when he came, he just lowered his head and cared about driving alone.

And the young men who had just regained their freedom behind the carriage were also silent all the way, they just followed behind the carriage calmly, walking forward somewhat distraught.

The swallows that flew past from time to time made chirping calls, which made them look up and show an imperceptible smile.

I don't know whether they are happy for the birds returning to the north, or happy for their own freedom.

The atmosphere was a little silent, not like a team of dozens of people at all.

Liu He took out the jug tied with red twine, unscrewed it, and took a big gulp.

The slightly sweet, bitter and slightly cool plum wine flowed into his throat, causing Liu He to let out a sigh of relief.

This exclamation dispelled the depression left in Liu He's heart by the tragic scene of the worker.

"Come on, Dai Qing has a drink too!"

Dai Zong freed one hand, took it and smelled it, shook his head and said: "Under the door, the servants are driving, so it is not suitable to drink."

"Hey, this plum wine isn't too strong, just take a sip to get rid of the frustration just now!"

Dai Zong smacked his mouth, and his throat visibly moved, but finally he shook his head and said: "A gentleman has something to do and something not to do. It is not suitable to drink while driving."

"You and that Yu Wuyou are indeed the same people, it's really boring!"

However, Liu He didn't make things difficult for Dai Zong anymore, he threw the leather jug ​​full of honey water into his arms with his backhand.

"Then drink this honey water, but drink the honey water like wine!"

After Liu He finished speaking, he stood up in the driver's seat, and climbed unsteadily onto the roof of the car.

"Under the door, be careful!"

Dai Zong wanted to stop Liu He, but Liu He avoided him deftly.

"Don't stop, keep going!"

Dai Zong had no choice but to slow down his driving speed.

Liu He stood up unsteadily, and only after he had stabilized himself did he yell twice to the group of silent young men behind him.

"What are you doing with a sad face, look up!"

The young men looked at Liu He in unison as if they had just woken up from a dream, but there was still some fear and awe in their eyes.

"After leaving this job officer, you will no longer be slaves. I hope you can show some vigor like a young man!"

"Come on, open the wine, drink the first sip of wine as an ordinary person, and start everything from scratch!"

"Come on, drink!"

Liu He raised his head and took a sip first. Because he drank too fast and too hard, he choked on the wine, bent down, and coughed violently.

Liu He looked extremely embarrassed, but for some reason, those young men were a little moved.

After he finished coughing with difficulty, a bright smile appeared on his face immediately.

Then, he threw the covered leather pot into the hand of the young man closest to the carriage, pointed at him and said, "Come, drink!"

The young man hesitated, but still raised the leather pot, took a sip, then wiped his mouth, and handed the leather pot to the next person beside him.

One by one, the young men took turns drinking the wine in the leather jug.

In the past, they were all libertines who drank, but at this moment they drank very reservedly, but there was a determination in this reservedness.

"Good, good, very good!" Liu He shouted clapping his hands.

"After you go back, you will be punished for cleaning the official roads in the city for a month, and you should forgive the people of Changyi City. Did you hear me?"

After a moment of silence, the young men let out a thunderous sound.

"only!"

The depression and panic on their faces disappeared, and they no longer existed.

Only then did Liu He return to his seat with satisfaction.

"Are you blaming me for not saving that boy?"

"The officials dare not." Dai Zong shook his hand holding the rein.

"That young man is pitiful, but the others are also pitiful. Even if I saved that young man, how can I save everyone now?"

Liu He deliberately put the word "now" very seriously, Dai Zong naturally understood, and his expression softened a little.

"But, one day, I'll try to save everyone."

After Liu He finished speaking, he patted Dai Zong on the shoulder and sat back in the carriage. The moment he put down the curtain, he finally said: "Talk with Ma Yanshou tomorrow, and try to buy as many people back as possible. If that boy is still alive , and bring him back together."

"No." Dai Zong said with some sobs.

The next day, most people in the palace were busy as usual.

Yu Wuyou was still fighting fiercely with the accounts that had been handed over by He Tian without hesitation; Dai Zong went to Ma Yanshou to bargain again in the carriage; Clean up the dirt on the various official roads in the village; other doctors and patrons are also busy with their own affairs.

Instead, it was Liu He who finally had some free time.

Early in the morning, Liu He first silently read dozens of pages of books in Fuyao Hall, and then drew five or six new drawings.

At noon, in front of the cook and servants in the kitchen, he cooked a dish of bacon with leeks in a new iron pot sent by the iron officer, and under the envious eyes of everyone, he dug out three bowls of bean rice.

When Liu He walked out of the dining room with a full belch, and was about to take another "day nap" that Confucius was ashamed of, Yu Wuyou blocked Liu He's way.

In fact, Liu He didn't see Yu Wuyou for only a day and a half, but he was surprised to find that the other party was rather haggard.

The originally thin face became more clear, and the dark circles under the eyes became thicker. Even the "crown" that has been meticulously worn all year round is a little crooked.

It seems that the pile of accounts sent by Tian Bushi is really a very difficult nut to crack.

"Yu Lang is quite haggard, and he still needs to keep his health. Is there any progress on the account?"

"It will take some time for some clues." Yu Wuyou thought for a while and said, "Three days, three more days, and the officials will be able to sort out all the accounts."

Liu He was secretly happy, it seemed that he could have a few more days of leisure.

"This speed is not considered fast, why is His Highness so happy?"

"Ahem, the widow is very satisfied, don't presume!" Liu He, who was afraid of being seen through, hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Is there something you need to do to find the widow in Lang Yu?"

"Lang Zhongling is here."

"It's already here?"

"Well, I am waiting for His Highness in the Changyi Palace at the moment."

"Understood, the widow will go now."

After finishing speaking, Liu He ran towards Changyi Hall with big strides.

"Your Highness, if a gentleman is not serious, he is not powerful..." Yu Wuyou said dissatisfiedly.

"The widow knows, the widow knows, Langzhong Yu should hurry up and check the accounts."

Liu He quickened his pace as he spoke, and left Yu Wuyou, who was hesitant to speak, on the spot.
