Hey! You are really a genius, you can draw inferences from one example!
Everyone imagined the scene Wu Sheng described, and many people's faces began to turn red.
When Fang Zheng saw the expressions of these people, he suddenly felt a little sad.
I might be the most miserable time traveler in the fucking world.
These guys are all so cunning that I don't even have any sense of superiority as a time traveler.
All the stuff in my brain has been developed and expanded by others. I can't say anything more. If I say more, it will be emptied out!
Fang Zheng knocked on the table and said, "Ahem! Ahem! That's enough! Stop talking."
"After the brothel is ready, I will design a few themes myself. If you have any ideas, feel free to tell me!"
"Nothing else, I'm leaving now!"
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, Fang Zheng took the phonograph box and ran away.
"Hey? Why did the master run away?"
"You said you were so excited that you went to find someone to relieve your anger!"
"I see."
.............
The next day, when Liu Xun went to the government office again, he immediately asked enthusiastically when he saw Fang Zhengyi: "Master Fang, have you had breakfast?"
Fang Zhengyi also responded enthusiastically: "No? Could it be that Master Liu has made preparations?"
Neither of them mentioned the gift of silver last night.
When Liu Xun heard that Fang Zhengyi hadn't eaten, he smiled and said, "That's great. I haven't eaten either. Come with me."
After saying that, he took Fang Zhengyi into a small room.
Various breakfasts have been prepared inside.
They are all light and precious seafood.
Fang Zhengyi didn't hesitate and sat down and took a bowl of seafood porridge.
He scooped it up with a spoon and saw that there were only small abalone and scallops in it. He looked a little disgusted, then looked at Liu Xun, smiled, and took a sip.
Liu Xun suddenly felt unhappy.
I don't get to eat these good things every day, and you're still picky!
Even if you are young and good-looking, how long can you stay young? Will the prince let you be with him for the rest of your life?
But in a flash, Liu Xun adjusted his mentality.
Off topic, this is not the point!
"Master Fang, how about this porridge?"
"Good, very good, but a little bland."
"Ah, that was really my oversight. I'll ask the cook to make something that suits your taste later."
Fang Zheng put down the spoon and said, "Thank you very much, Sir Liu, please eat with us!"
Liu Xun, who was sitting beside him, took a bowl of porridge and started drinking.
While drinking, he said, "I have to go to inspect the warehouse today. After dinner, I will go with you."
Fang Zheng sipped at the porridge in his bowl and said nonchalantly, "Master Liu, yesterday you said you had a way to get me transferred back to the capital. What is that method?"
"No rush, there's no rush for this matter. We need to discuss it slowly." Liu Xun also replied casually.
"Alas!" Fang Zheng put the bowl on the table with force, stood up and said anxiously: "Urgent! How can this subordinate not be anxious?"
"Master Liu, don't you know that there are already thousands of religious sects outside the city? One is called the Freedom Sect, and the other is called the Iron Clothes Sect!"
"If this group of people cause a big commotion, rebel and steal food, then you and I will be in big trouble!"
"I will be very lucky if I can return to the capital and not be exiled!"
Seeing that he was losing his temper, Liu Xun looked down on him even more.
"Don't worry, this government has its own arrangements. Those unruly people can't jump up. Sit down and eat first."
Sure enough, Shen Zhaoxuan and the others were arranged.
At this moment, Fang Zhengyi suddenly felt fortunate that he was demoted to Jianjiang, as he arrived just in time.
Otherwise, if Shen Zhaoxuan and the others were really dragged into this by Liu Xun, it would be hard to say what the consequences would be.
After they finished their breakfast, they rode their horses to the granary.
When we were halfway out of the city, we suddenly encountered a bustling group of people.
Fang Zheng stopped his horse, looked at the crowd and asked, "Master Liu, what are those people doing?"
Liu Xun glanced at them and said, "It should be those who did not collect enough grain last time who are being made public."
"Oh? I am curious and want to take a look."
"Oh, then go ahead."
The two men rode their horses near the crowd. When a minor official saw that it was Liu Xun, he immediately ran up and knelt down.
He said loudly: "Greetings, Mr. Prefect!"
Fang Zhengyi looked into the crowd.
The people formed a circle, with a wooden frame in the middle. Five people were hung on the frame, with their heads hanging and not moving, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
There were also five people under the wooden frame, kneeling on the ground with shackles on their backs, gritting their teeth with sweat dripping from their heads.
Fang Zheng frowned and turned to ask the clerk, "What's wrong with these people?"
The clerk smiled and said, "Master Fang! These people are the troublemakers who were not paid enough grain last time and are not paid enough this time."
"Let them be punished in public, so that no one will refuse to pay in the future!"
When the people in the crowd heard that the prefect had arrived, they turned around and looked at Liu Xun.
A large group of people immediately knelt down in a groaning mass.
"Greetings, Mr. Prefect!!"
Liu Xun's face was full of sternness: "Quick! Please stand up quickly, no need to be polite!"
"My Lord Prefect! I really have no food at home! Please let my father go!"
A child of about ten years old threw himself at Liu Xun's feet, crying hoarsely.
Liu Xun also had a sad face, and he was not afraid of getting dirty. He immediately squatted down and helped the child up.
"Which one is your father?"
The child rubbed his red eyes and pointed at the man hanging in the middle of the wooden frame.
Liu Xun looked at the wooden frame and shouted, "Quick! Put him down!"
As he said this, he trotted into the center of the crowd.
He tucked his official robe into his trousers, revealing his patched trousers, and then reached out to release the hanging civilian.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately knelt down and spoke up for their family members and villagers.
Liu Xun waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of kindness: "Get up... Everyone, get up!"
"I already know the situation here! Someone, come! Release them all!!"
Seeing this, everyone became even more emotional: "Oh, my Lord!"
Fang Zheng was speechless when he saw this scene. It turned out that there is always a mountain higher than the one you climb.
Liu Xun was standing in the crowd, his face full of sorrow as he said, "I'm late!"
"I, Liu Xun, have the honor of being the prefect of Jianjiang. The people have no food, and this prefecture cannot escape the blame!"
"These ruthless and cruel officials actually let the people, who had no food to eat, hang on wooden racks and kneel on the ground in shackles!"
"You are already living in hardship, and they are rubbing salt into your fathers, elders, and sisters' wounds!!"
"Worse than a beast! Worse than a beast!"
"I, Liu Xun, apologize to all the elders and sisters on behalf of these sinners!"
As he spoke, he drew the sword of a soldier beside him and cut off a lock of his hair.
The people around were all shocked and moved.
This is a good official who truly serves the people! Today he finally sees the light of day!
"You cruel officials are so hard-hearted, don't blame me for being hard-hearted too!"
"Come here! Take these criminals to the prison! Each of them will be punished with ten strokes of the cane!"
The petty officials around him immediately fell to their knees as if they had lost their parents.
Fang Zheng looked at him coldly.
None of these petty officials cried out for injustice, they are obviously old actors...
