Chapter 299: Retribution

At this moment, heavy snow fell from the sky, and the snowflakes drifted like goose feathers, making the whole world shrouded in a vast white area.

A majestic pass that looked like an ice-clad pass revealed its outline. It was scattered between a vast mountain ridge, like a dragon lying on its head, particularly majestic.

Outside this majestic pass, a person who staggers and carries a huge burden seems particularly small.

Like an ant, this person was gasping tiredly while walking.

His body was covered with snow, and even the exposed clothes were already dirty, like a mop covered with mud.

He walked in the snow with difficulty in facing the cold wind like ice, leaving a string of deep footprints.

I saw that the eyebrows seemed to be stiff from the cold, and only the mouth was still breathing white.

The burden behind him was under his head, and several ice lings formed. When he took a step, the ice ling trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and walked with difficulty.

Finally, his eyes closed and his pupils, which had almost no spirit, suddenly raised their eyes upwards.

He saw the pass, at this moment...

He cried.

Finally... my body could no longer hold on. The bag behind me shook and landed on the ground. Countless pots, pans, steamed buns, and steamed buns, half of the steamed cakes were all scattered in the snow.

He is Liu Jin.

The Liu Jin who hurried out of Jinzhou City but couldn't find Ouyang Zhi, the Liu Jin who chased after more than ten miles and was unwilling to return to Jinzhou. He thought Ouyang Zhi should be right ahead, so he gritted his teeth and continued to chase after Liu Jin.

The one Liu Jin who ran dozens of miles and realized that he was very likely to have gone in the wrong direction but had to continue moving forward.

The one who finally found a station, finally breathed a sigh of relief, rushed into the station, reported his identity, but found that his ticket was in Liu Jin in Ouyang Zhi's team.

The Liu Jin, who was beaten out by a servant in the post station, was wandering in the wilderness, and had to return to the pass.

The one who was stealing food and clothing along the way was chased by the merchants and the vicious dogs with a rake and chased them for several miles, but ran quickly and got rid of Liu Jin.

The beggar who was holding pots and bowls, unkempt and drank on the street, and said that he was okay, Liu Jin, who was crying and saying that he was okay.

The one Liu Jin who was beaten to death because of his overlord meal and finally brushed the plates in the inn and in the biting weather for several days.

The Liu Jin who still did not change his original intention, kept his mission in mind, and went south to refuse the intake of a kind-hearted old woman.

He... wants to live.

Going back.

He finally understood why his father asked someone to cut his jj and sent it to the palace, and he began to lose his resentment.

He raised his head and looked at the majestic pass standing among the vast white world, feeling indescribable intimacy. After passing this pass, there were two worlds, one on heaven and the other on hell.

But at this moment, he still wanted to cry... so he whimpered silently in the snow.

We...Liu Jin... are back!

Then, he held his tears, got up, hunched over, picked up all the steamed buns, broken bowls, porcelain plates, iron pots, and half a steamed buns on the ground, and carried them on his body with a familiar roll. With his undressed face, he tried hard to wipe his head with his hands, and then he showed a face full of ashes.

He held his head up, his eyes were firm, and then limped and continued to stride towards Shanhaiguan.

Under the wind and snow all over the sky, a new footprint appeared in the vast snow that was like white-leaved landscape paintings. The footprint slowly extended to the distance. In the end, the snowflakes of goose feathers covered all the footprints.

………………………………………

In the Dongjishi Factory, a man dressed in a short dress hurriedly in. After a moment, the Dongjian factory's stall came out in a hurry. When the Pegasus arrived at the Meridian Gate, a eunuch had been waiting here.

The stall whispered a few words to the eunuch in the doorway. The eunuch understood and ran quickly towards the depths of the palace.

The entire Dongchang is like an old machine, but once it starts to operate, it starts to run wildly.

Although the ancestor was not scolded, it is said that in front of His Majesty, he did not know several times, which made the ancestor so angry that he couldn't sleep well for several nights.

If an ordinary person is angry, at most he will just go home and beat the wife.

But if the ancestors were so angry that they couldn't sleep or eat, their children and grandchildren were trembling. They knew that if they didn't sell their strength, they would die, and it was not others who died, but themselves.

"Godfather..." The little eunuch knelt in the Silijian's duty room panting.

At this time, Xiao Jing was leaning on the chair, his face turned pale and his eyes were filled with anger. Several eunuchs were arching their bodies, and they were so arrogant that they were frowning with Xiao Jing.

On the ground, there were several draft tickets sent by the cabinet. According to the rules, the cabinet draft tickets were approved by the Silijian. Of course, there was another procedure in the middle, and there was also a red mark on His Majesty the Emperor. However, the world's affairs were as numerous as a cow, and not all trivial matters had to be handled by the Emperor himself. Therefore, these matters fell on the Silijian.

If the emperor was lazy and might not even refuse to pay attention to major issues and would be pushed to the Silijians decision. Then the Silijians will inevitably be in power, because all the affairs of the world are in their hands.

But if the emperor is diligent and the Minister of Justice can do it, it is just to assist the emperor in handling some trivial matters.

Things in the world, no matter how big or small, are sent to the palace, even if they are insignificant, in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the dynasty, but as long as they go outside the palace, in fact, they are major events that concern thousands of people, which determine the life, death, honor and disgrace of countless people.

Now, Xiao Jing lost his temper. He stared at a big eunuch in Silijian fiercely and angrily scolded: "What's the use of keeping you like a dog? I've said a long time ago that the memorial of His Majesty's approval of the redemption needs to be verified. Do you have no eyes? Such a crucial criticism of the redemption, you will send it out without raising your eyelids?"

The eunuch knelt down in fear and trepidation, and said in tears: "I have died."

And this little eunuch who had just come from the Meridian Gate saved him.

These days, Eunuch Xiao has a bad temper, which is well known to everyone.

The little eunuch lay on the ground and said, "Godfather, Tudou...is found it."

Suddenly, Xiao Jing was shocked and no longer had the intention to care about the eunuch Gu, and only gave a wink at the person.

The eunuchs understood and quickly packed up the tickets scattered on the ground and retreated one after another.

Only Xiao Jing and the little eunuch were left in the Silijian.

Xiao Jing was suppressed and excited, and looked calm and gentle. He slowly picked up the tea cup, opened the lid, blew the tea foam in the tea cup, and then gently spit out two words: "Tell me."

The little eunuch said truthfully: "The potatoes are grown by the prince, Xinjianbo, and Fengchengbo. They are said to be ripe and can be eaten or used as food..."

"Can you use it as food?" Xiao Jing said in surprise. The indifference he tried hard to show finally couldn't hold back.

He suddenly realized why... His Majesty mentioned potatoes.

If it is an ordinary thing, Your Majesty will not care about it. Even if it is the longan and other rare things sent from the south, Your Majesty will at most say it is delicious. Sometimes he will even say that if it is just because of the words and words, it is really a waste, so the tribute of longan and other things will be eliminated.

Delicious rations are different.

Xiao Jingke clearly remembered how shocking the court was caused when the sweet potato appeared.

And your Majesty, how long have you been happy about this?

He squinted his eyes, and a light flashed through his eyes.

Gradually... he began to have a clue: "Like sweet potato?"

The little eunuch said: "Better than sweet potatoes, it is said... sweet potatoes cannot completely replace food rations. In Xishan, there are rumors that sweet potatoes can be used as auxiliary food. If there is a disaster year, countless people can live, but it is not easy to replace rice and wheat."

Xiao Jing sighed, "Even if that's the case, it's enough to shock the world."

The little eunuch said, "And this potato is completely different. It can completely replace the staple food..."

call……

Xiao Jing suddenly opened his eyes, but he let out a long sigh: "What else?"

The little eunuch thought for a while and said, "And... it is said that the taste is very good. His Royal Highness once tasted it himself, and he said..."

Xiao Jing had already stood up, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back: “Speak quickly.”

The little eunuch said, "Your Highness said... it smells so good!"

"It smells so good!" Xiao Jing looked up and looked at Fang Liang. He was a little shocked: "This Fang Jifan deserves to be favored by His Majesty. Speaking of which, even we have begun to like him. People are doing things and practicing bows and horses, but he is doing the opposite... Potato... This guy is not good, he should be called the God Fruit. It shows how vulgar this person is. Who is this person who has not read in the inner study room... Haha..."

Xiao Jing's lips curled a sneer, and he disliked Fang Jifan's vulgarity.

One of the two most proud things in Xiao Jing's life was that he had read books in the inner study room. The emperors wanted to be lazy, but the eunuchs were illiterate. How could they help the emperor deal with the vast memorials? So someone thought of a solution, which was to set up an inner study room.

The person in charge of teaching in the inner study was Hanlin. He taught eunuchs and taught eunuchs. Of course, not all eunuchs had the opportunity to go there, and they often carefully selected them. These eunuchs who had read books were like Jinshi among scholars, with a bright future in the future.

Xiao Jing is also a person who has studied and has good knowledge. After all, his teacher is also a first-class Hanlin bachelor, so he has to despise those vulgar people. To put it bluntly, if you are not educated, we are just discriminating against you.

But then he thought about it, suddenly, his face seemed to have eaten a fly. Fang Jifan... would he be uneducated? Uneducated, how could he teach so many capable disciples?

Why... are they inferior to others everywhere?

………………………………………

When writing about Liu Jin, Hu felt depressed and in a complicated mood. He might have been too deeply involved. He wrote so many words every day and was immersed in the book. To be honest, his emotions changed a lot, sometimes he was irritable, sometimes he was sad. Hu suddenly thought that he and Liu Jin, except for Hu who had more things than him, were all miserable children. Come and support him, please, what about monthly tickets.
