Hong Dashou returned to Hanyang. Instead of getting on the Beijing merchant ship, he walked back on two legs.

The initial despair has basically disappeared now. The pressure of survival will always drive people forward. Even time-travelers are no exception. In the words of Jesus Christ, the rain falls on the heads of good people and the heads of bad people.

superior.

Hong Dashou, who owes Li Chao eighty-four taels of silver, has less than five months to turn fifty taels into eighty-four taels. Can't he change it?

Hum hum! There is a bundle of sacks on the bank of the Datong River, tied with stones and sunk in. If you are reported missing, a hundred knots of land will be reported directly as wasteland. There are many people who are willing to pay back the money for this land.

Just kidding! Not that bad!

The difference between raw and mature paddy fields is not small. The land of Hongda Shoujia is a solid high-quality paddy field that can produce two thousand shi of white rice a year.

Others didn't tell me, but the Jin Jinshi from the county, who had a sly look on his face, hung around his property every day. Every once in a while he would send people to find out if he was willing to sell it and how much money he would get for it.

He even lured Hong Dashou to gamble and go to the chicken yard (I would have been screwed if I didn’t write this). Unfortunately, Hong Dashou was a fool himself, and he only focused on studying. In addition to learning Chinese books, he just practiced a little

Gun stick strengthens the body.

All he could think about was the high school imperial examination and the glory of his family. Playing with money and playing chicken didn't interest him at all, and he didn't even drink. He thought he was wasting time when he was drunk, and he would have no time to study.

The original owner Hong Dashou is also a talent!

In addition, the two squads of households in the Hongda Shou Zheng Erba tightly hanging on the yellow list are still the kind of martial arts squads who are going to die as military officials if there is a real war.

Everyone should understand that at the end of the dynasty, it was not easy for the country to raise an army. What's more, such "excellent reserve soldiers" who can prepare their own food, armor, horses, and weapons?

No matter how stupid the leaders of the Li Dynasty were to criticize, the Manchus in the north and the Japanese pirates in the south had taken turns riding on them a hundred years ago. Reserve military officials like Hong Dashou in the martial arts class had to be killed in each county.

More or less, if you can't obey the order, you really have to be removed from office.

This is also the reason why Hong Dashou's father was able to keep his property even though he didn't even go to a thief-catching school.

Li Chao is always ready to let you die!

Hong Dashou secretly laughed in his heart. Fortunately, he knew that there were no major battles to be fought in the past few decades. If pushed forward a few decades, Dongxue revolted, and the Li Dynasty would not be able to suppress it even if it lost troops and generals. Hong Dashou would not be able to suppress it.

He might have fled with my mother on his back, but he didn't want to die.

Today's world is pretty good, so there's no need to hide and run away. It's more important to make money and keep the family business.

This time Hong Dashou did not enter the city, but found a place to stay in the market at Hanyang Ferry outside the city. The hotels in the city were more than twice as expensive as those outside the city, and he was short of money and couldn't afford to do anything.

In addition, the ferry market is also very lively. Goods from North Korea are gathered here, so there should be a chance to earn two.

…

Since time was not urgent, Hong Dashou did not go out to wander around the streets immediately after settling down. Instead, he slept in a wild shop. After replenishing his energy, he was ready to get up early the next day to go shopping.

Early the next morning, after a simple wash, Hong Dashou went out for a walk, looking for opportunities.

As soon as he arrived at the ferry, Hong Dashou felt something was wrong. He was not a particularly sensitive person, and it was common for him to take a slow shot occasionally.

In the market at this moment, the small shops and vendors are generally still there, but the constant flow of customers has disappeared. It is far less crowded than when Hong Dashou came yesterday.

Not only that, many people in the market also looked towards the south gate of Hanyang from time to time, as if they were paying attention to something.

Hong Dashou, who had just arrived last night, had no idea what was going on, so he had to randomly select a lucky passerby and ask him what was going to happen in Hanyang today. Why was everyone looking towards the south gate of Hanyang, not only looking but also whispering.

Fortunately, Hong Dashou picked up a chatty passerby. He was spitting and talking with great joy. It also made Hong Dashou understand what big event was going on today.

Today, about a hundred prisoners in the Xinyou Evil Prison case will be executed!

Killing more than a hundred people in one day was indeed a rare and huge scene. No wonder everyone ran to see it, and those who couldn't go also pricked up their ears to listen to the news from all sources.

Hong Dashou thought to himself that he would probably not gain anything from Hanyang Ferry today, so screw him! A trip outside the south gate would be the first historical event he experienced in time travel.

It was clearly not noon yet, but the entire execution ground was already three floors inside and three outside, and the crowds were completely surrounded. Some people even bribed the soldiers guarding the city, and climbed up the city gates. Each crenelation became the best.

viewing position.

There were also many people climbing on the few big trees on both sides of the official road. The crowd was chattering, and even showed a sense of anticipation. They were all waiting for the prisoners to be escorted quickly so that they could watch the show.

When the sun reached hour, a middle-aged official took the lead, followed by several officials in green robes, and several generals from the Bureau of Robbery and the Yijin Mansion led the team, and escorted a team of 100 prisoners.

The officials, big and small, respectfully asked for the prison sentence [Note 1], and the execution began.

The executioner holding the ghost-head knife doesn't look like a showman who drinks a large bowl of wine, throws the bowl and sprays the wine on the knife head. Instead, he looks like a master of dancing, with his hands and feet spread out, like a crab, while dancing

The lyrics are jittery.

When the song reached a high pitch, the crowd cheered loudly and clapped their hands.

The jailer who sat on the seat scanned the circle of prisoners, suddenly ordered the execution to be stopped, and asked two soldiers to pick out a middle-aged and elderly man from the crowd, as if something big happened.

Someone in the crowd was immediately identified. He was the only true clergyman in Korea, a native of Suzhou, China, and priest Zhou Wenmo who was sent to Korea by the Chinese Catholic Church to preach.

There are actually Chinese people?

Hong Dashou put his heels up and took a closer look at the man. He was completely dressed as a Korean. But even the prison officer looked at him differently. It seemed that he was really Chinese.

Your officials from North Korea dare to kill my Chinese citizens?

The execution ground actually became quiet. Priest Zhou Wenmo blocked the prisoners in front of them, so that even the executioner could not move forward to kill them.

This is interesting. Not only the prisoner who was incarcerating the sentence was frowning, but the audience outside the venue was also anxious.

There's no way to kill this person today, so wouldn't there be no big show for them to watch?

The situation did not remain deadlocked for long, when a horseman rode up from the city, shouting.

"Just kill me!"

[Note 1]: Those with an official rank above the Zhengsanpintang are called Lingjian, also known as a big eunuch. Those with a lower official rank in the Zhengsanpintang and below can only be called adults. So if you travel through time, if you see an official wearing a red robe
