fake prince

Chapter 1218
"Sun Dewen!"

This is the name of the acquaintance who deliberately amplified his voice just now. What is Deputy Imperial Envoy Dai Zhang doing?Could it be to confront Sun Dewen?

If so, it would be too cheap.

They didn't name them by name, they only heard of picking up money, and a person who was a deputy imperial envoy came to take the initiative to pick up and scold him, which is too contemptuous.

Unexpectedly, after calling this name, Zhang Dai coughed repeatedly, wiped it with a handkerchief, saw a pool of red, felt cold, turned his head to look at Sun Tongzhi, did not argue with Sun Tongzhi about the matter just now, and sneered, saying: "I heard that you married a new concubine and bought [-] acres of fertile land?"

"Two hundred mu of fertile land, even if it is seven or eight taels per mu, it costs 500 taels."

"You just know that, including the entitlement salary, it is only 159 taels a year, and you have to support a family. Where did you get the money?"

"Moreover, officials are not allowed to accept concubines, and they are not allowed to accept women from the place where they work. You have violated the court's law. If you are under my account, I will join you!"

Although the meaning of these words is to say, it is a pity that you are not under my command, so I really cannot join you.

But is Zhang Dai participating or not?

I just married a concubine and bought [-] acres of fertile land. In normal times, it would be nothing serious. But in this juncture, I can really be pushed to the forefront. Small things can become big things, and even the slightest bit of privacy can be exposed. Check it out!

Sun Tongzhi didn't expect that this man, who was regarded by many people as smelly, tough and poor, turned out to be such a careless person!

Had a grudge, but reported it on the spot?
And it's still such a counterattack without being tactful, directly tearing his face, this is simply...

He was tongue-tied for a moment, and after a while, he blushed and murmured, "It's unreasonable to insult the gentlemen, it's unreasonable to insult the authority!"

Holding the handkerchief, Zhang Dai was actually full of anger and incomprehensible grievances. He was already trembling with anger when he heard the discussion just now, but now looking at the faces of these officials, he felt even more disgusting. The blood was red, and the buzzing could not be seen clearly. He barely suppressed the fishy smell in his throat, and he sneered and was about to say more.

"Shut up, your grandson is here, why don't you greet him in a solemn voice?" Xu Zhifu shouted suddenly, everyone looked, at this moment, the fleet that had already seen the shadow of a large ship was much closer.

Xu Zhifu has always been aware of the farce, but he didn't intend to intervene in the slightest. He only shouted at this moment to stop the continuation of the farce.

"The grandson has arrived, we are ready to welcome you!" Xu Zhifu said, after waiting for a while, the big ship was getting closer and closer to the shore, and ordered: "Play music, welcome!"

As soon as an order was issued, the sound of drums and music was loud, and the officials present were all lined up neatly. When the official ship docked and anchored and built a bridge, there should have been the sound of cannons, but Taisun was different. Scattered around the pier, there are many knives, and they look chilling under the torch.

"The result is Grandson Weiyi."

The officials were already a little apprehensive, but they were even more silent. Many officials in the county came out of the imperial examination and had seen the emperor, but not everyone had seen the scene of the prince traveling like this. Looking at this chilling scene at the moment, They all held their breath more and more concentrated, being intimidated by this momentum.

When Taisun's boat docked, the scene became more solemn and solemn, and then seven cannons were fired, thunderous, shaking the embankment. This is the etiquette to welcome Taisun.

In an instant, there was no sound on the boat and on the shore, and I saw a young man wearing a crown slowly stepping off the boat. Headed by Xu Zhifu, all the officials and gentry who greeted the grandson knelt on the ground, bowed their bodies and kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you!" Saint Ann!"

"Saint Gong'an!"

When Su Ziji was on the boat, he saw a crowd of people welcoming him, so he came down. These people bowed down together according to the etiquette. This is actually a greeting to the emperor. He stood facing the south and answered with his face up.

"Your Majesty, grandson Jin An!" This was the greeting to himself, Su Ziji changed his smile, and waited for all the officials to bow down, before he said: "Gu An, my lords, please be at peace."

"Thank you grandson!" All the people said in unison, and they all responded.

Taking a glance, Su Ziji's eyes focused on the expression of deputy imperial envoy Zhang Dai's face and paused for a moment, as if he was a little surprised, but he quickly skipped it.

Seeing that the officials had already greeted him, the magistrate bowed and said, "The grandson did not arrive until late at night, and the trek was so hard. It can be seen that the grandson is so attentive to state affairs that it really makes the ministers feel ashamed."

"It's late at night, and the river is very cold, so please ask your grandson to move to Linjiang Tower, which is not far away, and let the minister wait for you to catch the wind!
"This is also the emperor's decree, let me serve you respectfully and carefully."

As he spoke, he glanced at the grandson, his eyes lit up, and he saw that Su Ziji was dressed in a crown suit, his demeanor was calm, his gaze was shining, his posture was just like a jade tree facing the wind, which made people forget the world at first sight.

"Back then, the prince, I hadn't seen it, but I heard that he was also Mr. Pianpian. When I saw it today, I could vaguely know his style."

"The most important thing is to be young. I heard that the grandson is also very young, but it seems that he is still sixteen or seventeen years old."

"It's a pity..." Xu Zhifu secretly sighed.

Regarding hospitality, Su Ziji also knew that the emperor ordered the counties along the river to save himself from hard work and wait carefully along the river. It's not a new build, maybe it's a temporary expropriation.

He lowered his jaw and said, "The emperor cares so much that Gu is too terrified. After thinking about it, he has to do a good job and win face for the emperor. This is Gu's filial piety."

"After going up to the tower and looking at the river for a drink, let's talk about the grain depot during the banquet."

Su Ziji didn't object. Although he was patrolling the counties to check the food problem, he couldn't be cold and not give these people any face.

Seeing that the grandson was doing good, the magistrate was still smiling, and the officials in the county were secretly relieved. At least from this attitude, the grandson didn't come here with a butcher's knife.

As for whether it is a good match or not, you can find out a thing or two in Linjiang Tower.

Linjianglou sounds tacky, but it is actually the best restaurant in the dock area, with a good location. There are three floors in total, and a three-story building is not too much at this time. Generally, restaurants have two floors. To be able to build three floors, at least there must be a certain backstage, and it cannot be under the feet of the emperor.

In this foreign place, it is not in the city, and three floors can be built, but just looking at the carved beams and painted columns and the elegant surrounding scenery layout, you can know that a lot of money has been spent.

Ascend to look around, the view is wide under the yellow gauze palace lanterns, but you can hear the strings and gongs endlessly, the swaying water light is rippling, the boat lights in the river are dotted with stars, a very beautiful river view, but it is not like the mess at the pier, it is very quiet here, There are even some aquatic flowers artificially planted around, some of which bloom in four seasons, one by one, giving people a poetic and picturesque feeling.

The officials followed suit according to the rank, but they looked at each other, and even talked secretly.

"Master Xu is the venerable, it is normal for the grandson to talk to him, but Zhang Dai is the deputy imperial envoy, so he didn't exchange pleasantries just now, it is really abnormal."

"No, it's Zhang Dai who is abnormal. Grandsons and others, would they take the initiative to greet? According to the laws and ceremonies, it is Zhang Dai who goes up to greet, but Zhang Dai didn't say a word except when he saw the ceremony, and kept a straight face. , what's the point of this?"

"Zhang Dai, is it true that he lost his mind and went crazy?"
