In the 14th year of the orthodox era of the Ming Dynasty, the invading army led by the orthodox emperor himself. In September, the army of 200000 imperial court collapsed and the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty was captured by the invaders.
In the same month, Zhu Qiyu, the brother of the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen, took the throne when he was in danger. His year name was Jingtai. Jingtai Emperor Yao respected the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen as the supreme emperor, and appointed Yu Qian as the minister of the Ministry of War, in charge of all the troops in the world. He fought to the death with the invading army in the capital and defeated the invading army.
In the first year of Jingtai, the defeated Dalai Lama, after extorting countless benefits from the Ming Dynasty, released the captured orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen back to the Ming Dynasty. After the orthodox emperor was welcomed back to the Ming Dynasty, he was kept under house arrest in the Nangong. From then on, the only known emperor in the Ming Dynasty was Jingtai, not the orthodox emperor.
Eight years later.
In the dark cell of the Royal Guards in Ying Tianfu, Xu Bai stares at the outside.
There was footsteps coming from outside. It was someone coming, which made him nervous. Since his father had no news eight years ago, he had mixed up on the street in order to live in the prison of Tianfu Yamen. Naturally, he had entered the prison of the Royal Guards for the first time.
It is said that the people of the Royal Guards are ferocious. However, Ying Tianfu is the only one of the thousands of households in the north town. Usually, there are few Royal Guards. He is a street thug. He has no chance to see the ferocity of the Royal Guards.
In the past few hours, he has gone through what he has done in the past few months. He is very sure that even if he has done something deceitful, it seems that there is nothing worth these Royal Guards' uncles rushing into his home in the middle of the night and bringing themselves here. It is false to say not to be afraid, but after that fear has passed, He is a bachelor again. Anyway, he has a bad life. What he wants is nothing. What should he be afraid of!
"Brother Yuan, this is the last one. There are not many people with the surname of Xu in Chessboard Street. According to your age, there are only a few! You said that the former brothers Yuan were wrong. It seems that this is the one!"
The door opened with a squeak, and a figure came in. The sun behind him flashed away, and the door was closed again by people outside.
Xu Bai looked at the man. He was not wearing official clothes, and his appearance was not evil. He felt relieved at once.
"Your name is Xu Bai?" The man stood in front of Xu Bai
"Back to the Lord, yes!" Xu Bai stood up and replied with a low eyebrow.
"What's your father's name!" The man asked slowly, glancing at him without any expression.
"My father Xu Santuo has been separated for many years!" Xu Bai replied.
"Xu Sanduo?" The man looked disappointed. "Where's the mother?"
"My mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me!" Xu Bai said, peeping at the man, wondering what he wanted to do when he asked these questions.
"Do you know that your father Xu Santuo has another name?" The man pondered for a moment: "Think about it carefully. I didn't come to you for trouble, but I wanted to find a friend of mine in Nanjing. I couldn't stay in Nanjing for a few days, so I asked a friend of Fu Si in Beizhen to help me find someone. If your father was a friend of mine in those days, even if he has no news now, as an old friend, you will always benefit from him."
"......!" Xu Bai thought for a few moments, and finally shook his head: "He is a small trader, and there is no other name!"
"Oh!" The man's face became more disappointed. He shook his head, sighed and went out.
The voice outside the room came in again: "This should not be the case. Let's put it back. This time, Liu Baihu has been working hard. When he comes back to Beijing, he must invite Liu Baihu to have a drink!"
"Brother Yuan, if you say so, you will see the outside world. What else do our brothers say about hard work?"
As his voice drifted away, Xu Bai curled his lips and sat back in the corner. After seven or eight years on the street, what he knew best was that people in the government could not believe a word they said. There was no way to get around him.
After more than an hour, it seems that someone finally remembered and released him. Xu Bairu left this ghost place with amnesty, but he didn't want to look back. Even if he was caught for some reason, he was released for some reason.
All the way back to Chessboard Street, he put himself in bed without saying a word. Unlike the vagrants on the street, he also has a home. Although the small yard in Chessboard Street is not worth a few dollars, at least his father left it. The streets in the alley are all old neighbors for decades. There is a place to live. It's really hungry, and the neighbors can help, He has only survived these eight years.
"Back!"
A clear voice came from the outside of the courtyard. A figure pushed open the gate of the courtyard without chain head and came in: "What's wrong again?"
"What's the matter? The government has arrested the wrong person!"
Xu Bai rolled over and went out with a smile on his face: "Susu, this is what Uncle Baili has done. I will go there now!"
"Just know how to eat!" A girl in green in the yard looked at Xu Bai who came out angrily and said, "I told you not to mix with Li Fugui and others. You won't listen. One day, you will be killed by the officials!"
On the other hand, the girl looked at Xu Bai from top to bottom and said, "I haven't been beaten. Do you want to find some plasters for you?"
"It was said that the wrong person was arrested, and how could he be beaten!" Xu Bai smiled and said: "Besides, with my skill, I have always been a part of beating people, and no one else will beat me!"
"Show off your ferocity and fight ruthlessly!" Su Su said with a disdainful pout, "I don't know where Uncle Xu learned these moves in those years. They are just desperate moves. If you want to go out to fight and come back without injury, you will be able to do it. Every time you go out to fight, you will not come back with injury!"
As she spoke, her face darkened and she said, "Well, I don't want to talk about you anymore. Anyway, I don't have any chance to talk about you in the future. Please take care of yourself!"
"What do you mean?" Xu Bai was stunned, and felt a little bad.
"Go to my house for dinner. If you want to know why, you can ask my father then!" The girl became more and more angry, glared at him fiercely, "If you want to win..."
Before she finished speaking, the girl pursed her lips, but stopped talking and turned away from the yard.
Xu Bai was stunned and hurriedly followed him: "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I can't take care of his own life when I hit him..."
