Yi Shuyuan was walking on the street. There were no pedestrians on the road, so he couldn't see any reaction to the matter, but he could still occasionally hear some comments in some street houses.

In fact, for most people, they can't tell who the person sitting on the dragon throne is, and they may not have much feelings about the new emperor's ascension to the throne. Only some far-sighted people will sigh with emotion.

The people of Dayong may not need to feel too much. The two previous generations of wise kings in Dayong were not easy to take. Dayong's civil and military skills have reached the highest level since the founding of the country, even better than the prosperity after the founding of the country. Many things have become accustomed to it. If things around you don't change, then even if the emperor changes, it won't have any impact.

Of course, as soon as the announcement of the new emperor's enthronement was posted, many people came to see it. Even if it was raining, some people came despite the rain.

Yi Shuyuan held an umbrella and passed by the street notice wall. Some people were already reading the official notice, and some were reading it aloud to let the people around them understand the content.

"The emperor controls the great treasure, and all the people in the world obey it. The emperor obeys the destiny of heaven, and the mountains and rivers are illuminated below."

Most of the article is filled with official words, and the last explanation is the situation. The main purpose is to inform the people of the world that he is now the new emperor, and his reign name has been changed to Shaoyuan.

Yi Shuyuan did not stop at the notice wall, but passed by people and walked along the courtyard wall of the government office on this side to the other side of the street, intending to find a restaurant to order some dishes and have a good meal.

According to Yi Shuyuan's experience over the years, good restaurants are often located near county offices.

On the second floor of Qingyun Building, the restaurant waiter diligently took Yi Shuyuan to the window seat on the second floor, pointing to the table over there.

"Sir, what do you think of the location over there?"

"That's right, that's it!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled and walked over. The restaurant waiter quickly wiped the already clean table again with the linen cloth on his shoulder.

"What would you like to eat? I hear your accent doesn't sound like a local. Why don't you try some of our signature dishes?"

Yi Shuyuan smiled and nodded.

"Okay, take a look at your restaurant's signature dish!"

"Okay, please wait a moment. The food will be served when it's ready!"

Restaurant waiters like this kind of customer the most. They have a calm demeanor, are easy to talk to, and don’t have any ink when ordering.

Yi Shuyuan opened the tea cup on the table, picked up the teapot and poured himself tea. While drinking tea, he looked at the light rain outside the window. After waiting for a while, he seemed to have something in his mind and looked over there. The direction of the government office is Dalao.

The so-called amnesty for the world is naturally not just talked about casually. Most prisoners in prison can have their sentences reduced or pardoned.

At this moment, in the direction of Yi Shuyuan's gaze, someone was walking out of the courtyard where the prison was located. There were not many people, only three or five people coming one after another. Maybe there were only that many people in the first place, maybe they were in batches, at least there were so many at this moment.

Most of these people had disheveled hair, some had eyes full of excitement, and some had eyes full of trance.

"Is everything okay? Are you free?" "Can you go home?"

"Go home, go home!"

A few people stood outside for a while, and suddenly saw the looks from street shops or passers-by holding umbrellas. They immediately felt very uncomfortable and hurried away in embarrassment.

After a few people left, another person walked out of the prison with slightly staggering steps.

This man was disheveled, with dry hair, and his eyes were in a daze. He walked to the street in a daze, and then raised his head with his eyes closed, as if he was feeling the reality of the cold rain dripping down his face.

Then the man raised his arms again, as if hoping that the rain would come harder.

What is surprising is that the rain is gradually getting heavier at this moment, which seems to match this person's mood.

“Crash, la, la, la”

The drizzle turned into heavy rain, and the prisoner who had just been released standing on the street got a real chill.

The man didn't take it seriously at all, but instead had a smile on his face.

"Hehehehehe. Hahahahahahaha."

Yi Shuyuan looked at the man on the street from the second-floor window of a restaurant not far away, then looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but tap the palm of his left hand rhythmically with a folding fan.

interesting!

"Sir, the food is here~~~~"

As the restaurant waiter's loud voice came, he brought the tray to Yi Shuyuan's table and kept putting down the dishes on the tray.

"This is Ma Chicken, this is soy sauce duck, this is mushroom roast tripe, this is lamb short ribs"

The restaurant waiter quickly finished reporting the names of the dishes, and when he saw Yi Shuyuan looking at the street, he said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, are you looking at the prison? The new emperor has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the whole world. This is naturally good. Alas, I am afraid that the bad guys will be released and the lives of the people will be messed up again!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled and looked back at the clerk.

"Then there is no need to worry too much. Most of the criminals you mentioned are criminals that cannot be affected by the emperor's amnesty. They include extremely bad criminals such as treason, immorality, unfilial piety, and murder. According to imperial regulations, they cannot be considered normal people."

The waiter in the restaurant nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Yes, yes, yes, sir, you are right. I also know about this. I just forgot about it for a moment. He is what we often call a heinous person, right?"

Yi Shuyuan nodded. In fact, there are more than ten types of unforgivable people included in the Dayong Law, but the folk said that it was pretty much the same.

The restaurant waiter looked at the people soaking in the rain on the street over there, shook his head and felt pitiful again.

"Looking at it like this, I've been imprisoned for a long time, alas."

With this sigh, the man in the rain suddenly turned his head and looked over. The waiter at the restaurant was startled when he looked at it. It felt as if the other party heard it.

"Uh, please take it easy, sir. If you need anything, just call me!"

"Okay, you go and do your work!"

"well!"

After Yi Shuyuan finished speaking, the restaurant waiter left in a hurry. Before leaving, he looked out the window again, as if the feeling just now was just an illusion.

But Yi Shuyuan knew that it was not an illusion, and the man in the rain had already walked towards this restaurant.

In the heavy rain, a man who was soaked walked to Qingyun Tower. Many people in the building looked at him in surprise. Some people may have seen the previous scene and whispered to the people at the same table.

"Store, shop! Why is no one greeting you?"

The visitor walked into the restaurant without any embarrassment or restraint. The owner of the restaurant frowned, but he quickly forced out a smile.

"Okay, Sir, you see our building is full. Why don't you go to another place to check it out?"

The man wiped his face, wiped a handful of old mud from his hand, grinned, and looked at the tables in the hall. Sure enough, the tables here were occupied, but in fact there were many empty seats, but it seemed from his eyes that When I arrived, everyone at the table looked at me with disgust.

"Then let me go upstairs and have a look? Maybe there's a seat there!"

As he said that, the man ran towards the stairs.

"Hey, sir, sir, please wait!"

The shopkeeper shouted a few times, but he couldn't stop the person. Looking at the floor and stairs in the building, the person came in after being soaked in the rain for a long time. At this moment, he looked like a mop that had not condensed water, and there was water everywhere he passed.

Moreover, people like this who have just been released from prison have no relatives to pick them up. Most of them have no money, and they can’t afford to pay for food.

But everyone had already gone up, and the shopkeeper looked at the several restaurant waiters on the first floor, and nuzzled at one of them, who reluctantly set off.

"Hurry up, don't disturb other customers!"

"knew"

The guy responded, and then hurried upstairs, but he still tried to step on the edge of the stairs as much as possible, because the middle was full of water falling from the man's body.

"Oh, there are obviously so many seats upstairs. Shopkeeper, there are vacancies upstairs——"

The voice from upstairs came down, and the shopkeeper downstairs frowned in the Chinese character "Sichuan" and had no intention of responding. But for someone like this who was just released from prison, it's better to avoid getting into trouble. At worst, he could simply let him eat for nothing. Just one meal.

If you are really ignorant, the government office is right next to it, and those who have just come out can go in again!

Some of the customers downstairs were disgusted and others snickered.

The man upstairs walked past, and the ground was covered with water. All the customers upstairs looked disgusted, while the restaurant waiters behind him hurriedly followed.

"My guest, my guest, why don't you sit here? You can sit there. Hey, my guest, don't go there."

The man turned around and smiled, shaking his head.

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly!"

The waiter grinned and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "I'm not treating you badly. If you're like you, I'll slap myself twice for being such a big guy!"

But you still have to be as polite as possible.

"Sir, why don't you just sit in a deserted place and I'll serve you two of our specialty dishes?"

The man's gaze swept across the building. Everyone looked at him with disgust, but he didn't expect anyone to look at him favorably. The eyes of the world would inevitably be colored.

Um?

At this moment, the man saw a man with clear eyes looking at him in front of the corner window a little far away.

The man's hair was gray but his face was not old, and his clothes were not flashy but decent. The folding fan beside the table and the wine glasses seemed to have become part of his temperament, showing that he was different from ordinary people and made the man's eyes light up.

Good bearing, if a mortal can have such bearing, this person is by no means ordinary!

"My table is full of Qingyunlou's specialty dishes. Not a single bite has been touched. If this brother doesn't mind, why not come over and eat at the same table?"

A smile suddenly appeared on the man's face.

"Okay, then I'll sit there!"

The man walked over, but the waiter in the restaurant was very anxious. This man who was running the restaurant had specially warned him since he entered the building. He was definitely not an ordinary person. How could this happen?

"Hey, sir, this, oh, let's have another table, right?"

Yi Shuyuan smiled, stood up directly, stretched out his hand to invite people to the table, and looked at the waiter aside.

"Little brother, it's okay, you can go and do your business!"

The clerk scratched his head and looked at it for a while before he walked away hesitantly. But when he reached the stairs, he found that the water stains on the stairs had disappeared. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked back, and then I went downstairs with doubts.

Opposite Yi Shuyuan, the man had already sat down, and the water falling on his body quickly stained the tabletop and bench. Because the man wiped his face when he entered, he also had a big painted face at the moment. Some places are black and some are white.

"Sir, the food and wine have just been served. Please use it!"

"Hahahaha, thank you very much young man, I won't be polite!"

The man directly picked up the chopsticks, picked up the vegetables and ate them without any courtesy, and even poured wine for himself. While eating, he also paid attention to Yi Shuyuan, but when he saw the person in front of him also picking up the vegetables with chopsticks, he didn't feel disgusted at all. , my evaluation of the person in front of me suddenly became a little higher.

"Young man, if you have such magnanimity, you will definitely achieve great things. Maybe I can even give you a blessing!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled but didn't respond. Instead, he asked curiously.

"I saw you coming out of prison. What did you do?"

Seeing this, the man stretched out his hand to move the hair on his forehead that was somewhat blocking his vision, and said with a smile.

"My crime cannot be punished elsewhere. In the 30th year of Chengxing, I begged Dayong. I beat drums in Guangyuan Prefecture and asked the prefect to sentence me for my crime. However, there was no plaintiff to sue. He was unwilling to try it, but I will tell you in detail. Due to my own sins, I even resorted to some tricks, and finally asked him to report it to the emperor. Emperor Mingzong approved it, so I went to jail, hahahaha."

Ordinary people will definitely think that the person in front of them is mentally ill after hearing this, and they are completely asking for their own faults, but this person in front of them is not an ordinary person.
