After Zhang Mansheng finished speaking, Prince Jiyang winked at his entourage, who stepped forward, stepped on mud on his feet, and slapped Zhang Mansheng across the face.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the field fell silent again.
The Prince of Jiyang County looked at Wu Jin fiercely: "Xueshi Wu, most of my farmland is here. Could it be that I also measured my own farmland wrongly?"
Wu Jin used his fingers to measure the imperial ruler: "That's what the prince said."
He weighed the ruler and said, "Then thank you, County Magistrate Li, for measuring the land of the prince first tonight, and then the land of the common people. Don't keep the prince waiting for a long time."
Li Xian Cheng did not dare to touch the ruler, his face turned from green to white, and he did not dare to raise his head.
The large ruler was replaced by a small ruler, and the people's land shrank, and they had to pay a lot of taxes. The remaining land belonged to the prince of Jiyang, but the prince could only enter but not get out.
And this is not the first time, that's why the people are so angry - this is the case with the poor. They tolerate it if they can. If they can't bear it anymore, they will hold their necks and scream.
If the land of the Prince of Jiyang is measured first, then the Prince will not only be unable to eat and occupy more, but the land will also shrink accordingly.
Li Xiancheng hesitated: "Tonight...it's too late, so I won't measure it anymore. We'll measure it tomorrow."
"No matter when you measure it, it has nothing to do with you, Wu Jin!" Prince Jiyang snorted coldly, "So what if there is something wrong with the ruler, am I still not allowed to take it wrong?"
Wu Jin put the ruler into his sleeve and said, "Whether it was the wrong one, the prince will go to the court to find out tomorrow."
He looked at County Magistrate Li: "As a county magistrate, you really don't know what the imperial ruler is like? You have read so many books about sages and sages, don't you know that you are an official and serve the people? The official ration of rice you eat comes from this - "
Pointing at Zhang Chunsheng, Wu Jin's eyes were bright, and he turned his finger and pointed it directly at the face of Prince Jiyang: "Not from there!"
Li Xian Cheng was flustered and dripping with cold sweat. He knew that if Wu Jin impeached the prince, he would not be able to escape. He could not help but turn his head slightly to see the prince of Jiyang.
The prince of Jiyang County was filled with old and new grudges in his chest. His eyebrows were filled with anger, and his teeth were chewing through his gums. He stretched out his hand to open Wu Jin's fingers and said fiercely: "Okay! Okay! I'll go and tell you in front of your majesty tomorrow!"
He suddenly shook his sleeves, left the field, and walked onto the official road. With a wave of his hand, four big and round bearers carried the sedan forward, lowered the pole, and waited for the Prince of Jiyang to enter the sedan.
The Prince of Jiyang County stood still and saw that Wu Jin had also entered the official road. He said a few words to the Taoist leader, got on his horse and wanted to leave, then stepped forward and said in a hateful voice: "Wu Jin, what are you doing?" You have to fight against me!"
Wu Jin looked down from a high position and said slowly and calmly: "The prince's words are serious, if you can walk and sit upright, you will naturally have no chance with me."
He held the bridle and didn't want to say anything. When he raised his head, he saw a cold moon hanging in the sky at some point, illuminating the earth whitely.
Suddenly, he suddenly said: "Someone once taught me that a gentleman should be respectful inwardly, and righteousness should be directed outwards. Respecting righteousness is the foundation of morality, and virtue is not isolated. I just practice one or two."
"Don't fart sourly!" Prince Jiyang didn't take what he said to heart, and he never remembered Zhao Shiheng. To him, Zhao Shiheng was just an insignificant passer-by in his life, and had long since disappeared.
He was just angry. Seeing Wu Jin beating the horse to leave, he suddenly stretched out his hand, took off the long hairpin from the golden crown on his head, and thrust it into the horse's ass.
The rented yellow-flowered horse was in great pain. It immediately raised its front legs and stood upright. Wu Jin almost fell off the horse when it was jolted. Then he neighed, spewed out two streams of white air, and ran forward wildly. .net
Wu Jin held on to the bridle with all his strength. When he was thrown by the horse, his feet slipped from the stirrups. At this time, the horse bolted and ran wildly. He tried his best to steady his body and retrieve the stirrups in the wind and lightning. He let out a long "hoo", but the horse stopped. There was no sign of stopping. Instead, he became even more frantic because of the wine waving in the wind beside the road.
The houses and trees on both sides flashed past Wu Jin's eyes, and the horse's speed continued unabated, getting closer and closer to the city gate.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and they all tried to avoid them, but the horse showed no sign of stopping. For a while, there were loud screams and curses along the way.
Wu Jin saw in front of him many vendors carrying burdens into the city to do business at the night market. The city gate was blocked by water and there were children crawling around, and he became more and more anxious.
He raised his heart, looped the reins around his left wrist, then slipped his feet out of the stirrups, loosened the reins, and jumped off the horse!
The horse was still running wildly, but he suddenly landed on the ground. The reins were pulled forward quickly. He rolled on the spot and fell onto his back. Before he could make any movement, he felt severe pain in his wrist, and his whole body was pulled forward. go.
His back was run over on the gravel, and the Taifu Ruler was broken into two pieces in his sleeve. He stretched out his right hand desperately and held on to the reins. The horse lost its weight, and was pulled hard again. The speed gradually slowed down, and finally in the city Stop in front of the door.
Wu Jin felt pain in his back and fell to the ground. He took off the reins from his wrists and saw blood dripping from the buttocks of the yellow horse, dripping to the ground. His own back was also sticky and hot, and the blood was flowing.
There were people all around, with constant chirping and shadows, blocking out the lights and skylight. Wu Jin's eyes were filled with golden light, and his ears were buzzing. Only his heart was beating so hard in his chest that the sound was deafening.
Slowly, other sounds came to his ears.
Someone seemed to have recognized him and stretched out his hand to help him up. Another person led the injured horse to a tree beside the road. Not far away, several children ran after the juggler, laughing constantly. He followed the hands of others, I walked to sit on a stool outside the foot shop and thought about how many people would have been trampled if the frightened horse had been unable to stop and rushed into the crowded city.
Thinking of this, he was filled with fear. A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top door. His disgust for Prince Jiyang was palpable and turned into a cold smile.
A date rolled to his feet. He looked up and saw a basket that had been trampled to pieces by horses. The dates rolled all over the ground. Many others were trampled to pieces and picked up. A young man squatted on the ground and Anxious and afraid, I kept putting the remaining dates into another basket.
Wu Jin moved his hands, only to find that his palms were worn by the reins and covered with sticky blood. He reluctantly took off the money bag, took out a small silver coin, walked forward, bent down and handed it to the young man: "I'm sorry."
The young man looked at Wu Jin in surprise, stood up in a hurry, wiped his hands cautiously, and whispered: "Wu, Mr. Wu, no, not so much."
Wu Jin said nothing and gave him the money: "If it's too much, give me some dates to eat."
The young man accepted the money and asked happily: "Where do you live?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rapid sound of horse hooves sounded again on the official road. The people who had just been frightened dispersed, leaving a wide road. Within a moment, a fast horse galloped past the road, behind the man on the horse. They put up small delivery flags, whipped their horses, and only reined in their horses slightly at the gate of the city.
Wu Jin stared at the person passing by, knowing that it must be Kuanzhou's military situation.
Less than half an hour after the military information was sent to the palace, the good news of the victory spread throughout Kyoto and everyone knew about it.
This victory was all the more exciting because it was unexpected. BMW cars appeared one after another, and the vendors shouted loudly. When Wu Jin came out of the medicine shop, there was a sudden "crackling" sound in his ears. It was actually the sound of the shop next door. There was a firecracker.
The horses and pedestrians were frightened, and then burst into laughter. It was very lively.
