The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 430

On May 25th of the [-]th year of Tai'an, Yuanyang Fucheng.

Outside the north gate, a convoy walked in slowly, and the city guards opened the gate early when they saw them coming.

To be honest, the behavior of the soldiers defending the city seemed too "enthusiastic", but no one would say anything when they saw it.

Because the team that was about to enter the gate was sent from the palace, and was responsible for supplying supplies to the palace.

The freshest vegetables, fruits, and fish had to be picked from farms outside the city, and the Palace had to send people out every three to five days.

The suburbs of Yuanyang are already extremely safe, so several small farms have been set up outside to supply ingredients for the palace.

Although the suburbs of Yuanyang were extremely safe, the palace still specially sent guards to escort them, led by He Daming, a small banner officer under Xu Yu.

He Daming is very good at archery, so he carries a bow and arrow with him, which makes him stand out among the small banners of the Guard Division.

The car door was wide open, and the hundred households on duty welcomed He Daming and his party into the city gate with great enthusiasm.

Three large carts slowly entered the city gate, and six servants from the palace supported the carts to pull them.

And among these six servants, there is Ma Jin who is a buffoon in the palace.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards at the city gate, although Ma Jin was calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous inside, because he had ghosts in his heart.

But fortunately, with the protection of the signboard of Wangfu, no one came to make troubles, and Ma Jin and his party were able to enter the city smoothly.

After entering the city, they rushed directly to the palace.

The palace occupies half of Longqianfang, surrounded by high walls, forming a separate defense system.

There are residential areas for officials, guards, craftsmen and servants, as well as special large grain depots and workshop areas. In fact, the palace is not very big, but this is only relative.

After going through several gates, Ma Jin and his party came to the west gate of the Wangfu. At this moment, He Daming and his party had completed their task, so they left.

Ma Jin and the others pulled the cart into the west gate, facing the special kitchen area.

This is a place dedicated to eating and drinking for the masters of the palace, and all the selected ingredients are also stored here.

The carriage finally stopped outside the warehouse, and everyone began to carry the goods, and Ma Jin was the most diligent among them.

Seeing that someone was going to move the big frame in front of him, Ma Jin hurriedly said: "This is heavy, I will do it, I will do it..."

"Old Ma, you are working in the ceremony office, and you live a relaxed life every day, why do you have to suffer so much!" asked the boy beside him.

Hearing this, Ma Jin didn't think much about it, but directly lifted the big frame, and immediately replied: "I have nothing to do in my spare time, and it happens that Lao Xiao's leg hurts, so I will help him take over!"

"Back when I first entered the palace, Lao Xiao took care of me a lot. This time, it's time to exchange favors with him!"

At this moment, an eunuch came in and shouted loudly: "I said you are so useless, hurry up and work!"

This person is the eunuch in charge of the kitchen, so naturally he can call the wind and rain in the small world of the kitchen.

Everyone didn't dare to say much, and each worked conscientiously. Ma Jin was the first to move the big frame into the warehouse.

After putting the big frame in place, Ma Jin quickly dug open the vegetables above, and took out a small cloth bag from inside.

Seeing that someone was about to come in, he immediately stuffed the cloth bag into his arms, then got up and walked out of the warehouse.

When he came to the door, Ma Jin hooked his waist and said to the eunuch who supervised the work: "Elder-in-law, my stomach hurts...go to the latrine first, and I will be back soon!"

The eunuch in charge frowned and scolded: "Stomach hurts? You lazy people have too much shit and pee on the floor, hurry up...don't come back!"

There was no shortage of things, Ma Jin went to the hut and emptied everything, so naturally there was no need to come back.

"Thank you, Eunuch, thank you, Eunuch!"

With a smile on his face, Ma Jin quickly exited the kitchen, and then hurried to his home.

After running out of the palace, Ma Jin came to the alley, seeing no one around, Ma Jin took out the cloth bag from his bosom.

The reason why he went out of the city was because of the things inside.

The things in the cloth bag seemed to be extremely evil, even though they were taken out from his arms at this time, Ma Jin still looked terrified.

After leaning against the alley and trying to calm down, Ma Jin never dared to put the cloth bag back in his arms, but hid it in his cuff and continued on his way.

When he came outside the residence, before Ma Jin could open the door, he was stopped by neighbors in the same courtyard.

"Old horse, thank you very much!"

The one who stopped him was Lao Xiao, who Ma Jin was helping to take over today, and there were two other families living in this yard.

Among the four families in the small courtyard, Ma Jin is the only one who is alone, so he has the most leisure time every day, and he has more time to help the neighbors.

Because of this, Ma Jin gets along well with his neighbors and helps each other a lot.

"Old Xiao, you're being polite. I really want to thank you... treat me to dinner tonight, how about it?"

"Hey, it's a big deal, but I have one condition!"

"you say!"

"You are not allowed to bring anything for dinner tonight, you are only allowed to come empty-handed!"

Hearing this, Ma Jin couldn't help being stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay... I'll come empty-handed tonight!"

Because there is nothing to worry about here, Ma Jin gave away all his salary to build a good relationship with the neighbors.

Every time he was invited to a meal, Ma Jin would bring out more food, which made the host feel embarrassed.

This is also in Yuanyang, and this situation will never happen in Liaoping.

Except for those who are officials, basically everyone can't get enough to eat, and everyone wants to make food to survive, so how can they give away what they have in their mouths to others.

If there is a choice, how much Ma Jin hopes that the food he gets can be sent back to Yuanyang and sent to his wife and children.

Walking into the house, Ma Jin came to the bedroom and took out the cloth bag hidden in his cuff.

Looking at the things in his hand, Ma Jin murmured: "Tomorrow, everything will cease to exist!"

After saying this, Ma Jin put the cloth bag at the foot of the bed, and then took out a document from under the mat.

This document has not written a single word, but it has already been stamped with the great seal of the Ceremony Office. It is a document he stole.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that. The staff of the Ceremony Office accidentally overturned the tea, wet the blank document and threw it into the garbage dump. Ma Jin quietly dug it out from the garbage dump.

Later, when he went to do odd jobs in the ceremony office and supported the officials during their lunch break, he risked his life to stamp the document.

It was precisely because of this that Ma Jin came up with the next plan.

Turning around and closing the door, Ma Jin took out a pen and ink from the cabinet again.

The pen is almost bald, and the ink is leftovers. It is not an exaggeration to say that these two things are waste products.

Indeed, the brush and ink are waste products picked up by Ma Jin, and he has spent a lot of thought on this.

As long as Ma Jin writes something on a document stamped with pen and ink, it will have legal effect before it is discovered.

But he didn't rush to write. Instead, he dipped his hands in water and made a draft on the table.

Under Ma Jin's careful attention, the content format of the document is no longer a secret, so he just needs to copy it.

The crux of the problem is that he only has this document, so he must not make mistakes when writing.

After writing on the table eight times in total, Ma Jin finally stopped his fingers and began to grind the ink.
