You rascal, stop right there!

Beijing.

The only ones who passed the provincial examination from the Anfu Division were Bai Wan and Ke Yishen from Zhengzhou and Chaoge Gu from Xianzhou.

Bai Wan came to the capital without Chen Yu, who said he was going back to Baiyun City to visit his relatives. Although Luo Wenqi wanted to go with him, he had to stay in Zhengzhou.

At this time, he looked around at the surrounding cultural scenery.

The benefit brought by Lingyu's visit was that all the inns and shops were carefully and attentively cleaned.

However, when he sat nonchalantly in a small teahouse at the city gate, he felt a little confused as to whether he was still in Zhengzhou City.

"This is worthy of being a snack from the capital!" Bai Wan looked at the object in his hand, feeling excited and happy.

He glanced around and felt that something was wrong.

Only then did they realize that even the beggars and jugglers on the street in front of the city gate had disappeared.

No one cheated in gambling, no one sold themselves to bury their father or mother, and there was not even any cricket or cockfighting.

Beijing is really boring...

Han Miaoran had stayed in a place like this before? Wouldn't she be suffocated to death?

No, the fact that I am still alive and well is the best proof.

Just as he was sighing with emotion, a familiar voice appeared in his ear and said, "Oh my, is it Brother Bai? Oh, is it Brother Bai?"

Bai Wan turned around in confusion—it was Cai Jiang!

After several months, the scene of the two of them facing Zhengzhou Danqingyuan together is still vivid in their minds.

“You Jiang Si’er, you also passed the provincial examination for the 20th route?”

"Hey~" The man glanced sideways unintentionally, "I have already been recommended to the Painting Academy by the Governor of Bingzhou. I am not here to take the exam."

Bai Wan smiled slightly and stuffed the white sugar cake into her mouth with some gritted teeth.

"Congratulations, Brother Cai!"

A certain man thought to himself, if he was not an honest man, he would have asked Xiao Luoluo to recommend him long ago, and there would be no need to go through all this trouble.

Cai Jiang could see that he was unhappy: "Brother Bai, do you want to join me in serving under the Bingzhou governor?"

"Then... no need."

Bai Wan didn't want to pay attention to him and just thought about what time to go to the Shangshu Mansion to visit Brother Zichen today.

He looked at the brocade bag of letters in his hand that had been there many days ago, and at the horse and the poems, and was deeply inspired.

Cai Jiang felt a little weird looking at Bai Wan's expression.

The shameless, thick-skinned, greedy and messy Bai Wan is the normal one.

I'm not used to seeing him being so deep and silent, without any weirdness.

"Brother Bai, I am much more familiar with this capital city than you are. Once you hand in your pass, I will take you to visit the most prosperous Wazi Restaurant in the capital." Cai Jiang stared at him and said.

At this moment, a horse with white mane suddenly rushed over from a distance.

In the smoke and dust, vendors on both sides were knocked over.

"Sir! Sir! Slow down!"

The spoiled young man on the horse, wearing a red cloak and with a raised eyebrow, ran straight into the teahouse on Bai Wan's side.

"Fuck you!" Bai Wan finally couldn't help swearing after not saying it for a long time.

"Go away!"

The horse's hoof was about to fall on Bai Wan.

With a bang——

Bai Wan was thrown to the ground so hard that he felt like his bones were about to break and was extremely angry.

The young man on the horse ignored the man's words and said sternly, "Who are you? How dare you scare my horse!"

What is this idiot riding his horse recklessly on the street saying?

Tricky people?

You are the troublemaker! Your whole family is the troublemaker.

The young man in red saw that the man had a handsome face and fair complexion, and he looked like a weak scholar who was easy to bully.

But before he could react, he was knocked to the ground.

It turned out that Bai Wan endured the severe pain, lay down, grabbed the stool next to him and smashed it towards the young man.

"How dare you!" The young man in red raised his sword-like eyebrows, "I am Zhang Pin, the son of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. How dare you hit me with a stool!!"

A certain man propped himself up and stood up, knocking on the side: "Otherwise, I'll hit it with the table. Would that be worthy of your status?"

After saying that, he looked at Cai Jiang sitting next to him, signaling them to lift the table together.

The man's head was shaking so much that he almost called himself a rattle!

"You!" Zhang Pin was so angry that he was being bullied like this. "Put this troublemaker in jail! And that one too!"

Cai Jiang looked at everything in front of her speechlessly. How could she be implicated so inexplicably?

…………

The prison in the capital city.

A residual sound.

……

"Sir, let this pervert out!"

One of the prisoners yelled.

"Sir, I want to change cells!"

"Please, I don't want to stay here anymore!"

"Perverted!"

……

A jailer was very puzzled. A scholar who had disturbed the son of the prefect of Jingzhao was imprisoned here today, but now the whole cell was filled with such nameless wailing.

I saw a large prison cell to the south, and Cai Jiang looked at the people around him as if they were monsters.

monster!

This is definitely an unprecedented freak.

Few people like prison cells.

However, White Pea is an exception. It's not a forced love, but a genuine love.

Cai Jiang looked at this man, hugged the wooden bars of the cell, and was intoxicated. She was mumbling something.

When he got closer, he was shocked!

The man in white murmured:

"Ah, it's been a while since I've been in jail! I missed it so much!"

……

"This wooden fence is worthy of being a prison in the capital. The workmanship is much better than that in Baiyun City."

……

"The traces of rats crawling, the dead bodies of cockroaches, and the sound of the jailers whipping are still so majestic..."

……

"Ah, I miss it so much..."

"Oh~"

In the end, Bai Wan actually hugged an iron chain in the prison cell, closed his eyes deeply, and looked at the wanderer who seemed to have returned home after many years.

The people around couldn't stand it anymore. How could there be such a person!

I'm afraid this person is not a scholar, but a ruffian and a pervert!

Cai Jiang originally thought that this man was just an unscrupulous painter, but now she felt that this man might have been acting pretentiously on weekdays. It was really an eye-opener.

On this side, Bai Wan did not notice that his obscene and strange behavior actually scared all the prisoners in the cell and made them become insane.

He barely straightened his clothes and said, "Sorry, I haven't been home for so long. I was a little excited!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. After he said it, Cai Jiang was so scared that she took a few steps back.

After Bai Wan regained his composure, he glanced around and felt something was wrong!

Why are there men, women, young and old in this prison? It would be fine if there were no gender distinctions. There were even children of a few years old and elderly men of several dozen years old. And they were all dressed in rags and had empty eyes.

In particular, not far from him, there was a little baby who was only two or three years old and was being held by an old man.

"What is your crime?" he asked curiously.

The old people and children opposite retreated timidly and were unwilling to answer.

Just when Bai Wan wanted to continue asking, Cai Jiang stopped her:

"Brother Bai, you know this, don't you? They are innocent. They are just refugees and beggars who were locked up here for the express purpose!"

"Why?" a man was shocked.
