Broken wings

"Yes, I've been hungry for more than half a month, and I don't give any food, His Royal Highness King Qian relies on drinking water every day to satisfy his hunger, and he has been skinny for a while. "

"Why does the emperor starve him?"

"The specific reason is not clear to the subordinates, the subordinates just came to tell the Hou Ye, and then went back. "

Long Ting nodded thoughtfully and waved his hand perfunctorily: "Go back." "

Long Ting had just eaten a satisfying meal from the ancient building at that time, and when it was time to settle the bill, he suddenly remembered something and said to the second brother: "Second brother, help me exchange all the five hundred taels of silver tickets I bet here for meal coupons." "

"Huh?" the little second brother was stunned for a moment, and Long Ting said, "I see that you guys have a good taste here, and I want my brother to taste it too." "

The little second brother suddenly realized: "Oh, okay, how many meal coupons do you need?"

"Alone. "

"Okay, wait a minute. The second brother looked at the menu, calculated a little, and asked, "Is it okay to have a coupon for four dishes and one soup?"

The amount of food here

is very large, and according to the amount of food he eats here, Long Ting felt that these Ouyang Qian could probably eat enough, so he said happily: "Cheng." "

The second brother took the abacus and calculated it, then counted a stack of meal coupons and handed them to him, Long Ting took it, and the man counted a dozen more and handed them to him: "You consume so much at once, these are for you." "

Long Ting laughed: "Thank you, this meal coupon has no expiration date, right? "

"No, as long as our ancient building doesn't go out of business, you can come and eat whenever you want. The little second brother smiled at him and smiled, Long Ting nodded, "That's good, yes, you get busy first, I'll go first." "

"Okay, the guest officer walks slowly. "

Long Ting

entered the palace and gave Ouyang Qian the meal coupon, but he didn't see him for a long time, Ouyang Qian lost a lot of weight, Long Ting wanted to go to Yuan Zhen to reason, but was stopped by Ouyang Qian, Long Ting scolded him angrily: "When are you going to do this, he still wants to give you food, why does he see that you are not happy!".

"Don't go to him, it's as embarrassing as I begged him for food. "

Long Ting said angrily: "You think I care about your?" and left angrily.

"Ouch, whose bed sheet is so beautiful?" A few troublemakers were patrolling, staring at the drying sheets, it stands to reason that no one in the handyman room can afford such good sheets, and they are worth a lot of silver at a glance, so who would it be?

A person who was carrying water to water the vegetable garden said casually: "It was brought back by Ouyang Qian from outside, and the head of Chu Yan washed it and dried it here." "

"How could he have brought such a good sheet from the outside?" the man rolled his eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth, "The new one must not have been stolen, would he

"I think it's ......," several people hurriedly echoed him.

"If the stolen person investigates it and finds our miscellaneous room, it will be us, since this shouldn't be something in the miscellaneous room, let's deal with it first, ah?" The man couldn't use it himself, so he didn't want others to use it, so they tore off the bright yellow sheet, cut it with scissors, and then stepped on it with their feet to get all the mud.

"That's what it sounds like. The man said to the people around him, "What should you say if the newcomer asks?"

"We don't know what's going on. "Yes, we didn't see anything. "

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances. A few people swaggered away.

After drinking the medicine for a few days, Ouyang Qian felt that the bag on his head had disappeared a lot, and the injuries on his body had disappeared, and he looked at the duty list, it was time for him to be on duty at night, so he went to the yard to prepare to take back the sheets. When I got there, I saw that the sheets had been cut into strips of cloth, and there were many black shoe prints on them, and the sheets had been trampled into the dirt, and the bright yellow had turned black. A fierce anger rushed to his head from below, and he roared angrily, "Who did this!".

Ouyang Qian was wrapped in gauze on the top of his head, and he only wore a thin middle coat, plus he was thin and looked warm and harmless, even if he was angry, no one would be afraid of him, only a few people replied that he didn't know, and others just didn't hear it.

"I'll ask you again, who did this! If you don't say it, it's equivalent to an accomplice, I will report to the emperor truthfully, and when the time comes, it's up to me who lives or dies in the entire miscellaneous room, and tonight I will ask the emperor's holy decree to come over, and whether you say it or not, you can weigh it yourself!" After speaking, Ouyang Qian turned around and went back to the room, and then slammed the door slammed shut, shaking the whole firewood room, and the door frame seemed to be about to fall.

When they heard this, they all stopped what they were doing and whispered, as if to discuss the credibility of his words.

"He spoke so much, can he be trusted ......."

"Isn't he just a newcomer? What is there to be afraid of, I think he is talking big, and returning to the emperor, I guess he can't even see the emperor's toes, and he will scare people. "

"That is, if we say it, and they know about it, won't they kill us like they kill an ant?"

"You see that he is covered in bruises every day, and it is estimated that what he does outside is not a simple job, that is, a life that is called by someone, we can't listen to him, that group of people is not easy to provoke, we can't afford to provoke. "

"Yes, yes, we can't afford to mess with ......."

When Ouyang Qian was about to go on duty, no one came to tell him the truth, he had too much depression and anger accumulated in his chest, angry at why those people were so cowardly, and the oppression they had been subjected to over the years, was there also an element of self-inflicted blame? It was their connivance and cover-up that fueled the arrogance of this group of people, and then they continued to be cowardly and oppressed by others. In fact, he knew that this must have been done by that group, but he didn't know who it was, and it didn't make much difference to him whether they came or not, he just felt sad and pity, and he wondered if he would become this kind of person in the future.

Chengming Palace

Ouyang Qian knelt on the ground, and Yuan Zhen sat behind the desk, looking at him all the time without speaking.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it was the slave who was careless, what is the approximate price of the emperor's bed sheet, and the slave will also be recorded on the IOU, and I will return it to you together in the future." Ouyang Qian reiterated again, Yuan Zhen took a sip of tea, looked at him and said, "You tell the truth, what happened to the quilt?"

"The slave took the sheet back, Uncle Yan helped wash it and dry it in the courtyard, and today the slave went to collect it before he came to duty, and found that the sheet was destroyed...... The sheets were cut into strips of cloth and trampled into mud, and they were so useless that the minions had to find a way to pay you the money...... The slave is not optimistic about the emperor's things, please ask the emperor to take ...... heavy responsibility".

Yuan Zhen twisted his fingers, thoughtful: "Did you ask who did it?"

"The minions probably know the crowd, but they haven't decided who it is. Ouyang Qian said truthfully.

"If you know who it is, what do you do?"

"Claim compensation from him. Ouyang Qian thought for a moment and replied.

"What money can the people in the handyman room have, my bed sheets, they can't earn that money in two lifetimes. "

How could such an arrogant person survive in a miscellaneous room, only have his own share of salary, and how could he honestly not exploit others? Ouyang Qian wanted this, and Yuan Zhen wanted to get it even more.

Ouyang Qian

was silent, Yuan Zhen had been waiting for his other answer, and after a long time, Ouyang Qian asked, "What does the emperor want to do?"

"I'm asking you right now. "

Yuan Zhen's gaze gave people a strong pressure, Ouyang Qian felt like a needle on his back, and every moment he was more uneasy, he just wanted to escape quickly, and said: "Slaves have the same status as them, they are just slaves in the miscellaneous room, and they are not qualified to deal with others. "

"I'm asking you what you're going to do with it if you're sure who it is. Yuan Zhen's tone was a little heavier.

Ouyang Qian pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "Kill a hundred people, arrogant and bullying people, you should be punished." "

Yuan Zhen stopped twisting his fingers, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table: "Okay, I will give you this right and let you make an example of you." and the money that comes out of the robbers, and you will return it to the places where it ought to be. After that, he raised his hand and threw him a golden token, saying, "Seeing the token is like seeing me, if there is anyone who resists and refuses, you can cut it first and then play, and there is no need to report it to me." "

Such a big right...... Ouyang Qian felt ashamed, bowed down and said, "Yes, thank the emperor for his grace." "

Ouyang Qian knew that this was not just as simple as executing a person, but punishing the phenomenon of corruption for decades, so that the evil would not dare to do evil so unscrupulously, and the good would no longer be timid and cowardly. They have been in this circle for so many years, and they have already practiced the mentality that it has nothing to do with themselves, no one is willing to help others when something happens, and when things happen to them, no one will help them, even if they are bullied to death, they have nowhere to shout injustice. Then the wicked will do more evil, and the good will be more silent, and this phenomenon will drown the whole house with it.

If you continue to rectify it like this, it is estimated that no one in the entire miscellaneous room will dare to trouble yourself. Ouyang Qian couldn't say what he felt in his heart, he only felt that his heart was sour, it turned out that his father-in-law had known about the situation in the miscellaneous room for a long time, but he hadn't bothered about it, and there was ...... It seems that my father-in-law is preparing to let me live in the miscellaneous house for a long time, and he doesn't want me to go home, and even I have a ...... for the future
