Royal Gold Magistrate

Fang Zhengyi was no longer in the mood to listen to what happened afterwards.

The main thing is to talk about the rain disaster in central Beijing, or various things in other places, and some trivial things such as auspicious bandits, which sound very boring.

And I can't do much to help myself, so I just responded with a few words.

Finally, when it came to the end, the ministers were about to return to the palace, and Emperor Jing stayed in Dengjinfang.

As soon as Fangzheng walked out of the public room, Li Yuanzhao chased him out.

"Old Fang, I think the disaster relief method you mentioned is useful!"

"Huh? How should I put it?" Fang Zhengyi was a little curious.

Li Yuanzhao shook his head: "I don't know, but I can always feel a little bit about doing things in the workshop every day, but since the father has already made a decision, we can't do anything else."

Then Li Yuanzhao grinned at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry about it, why do you think we should clean up those Hanlin outside?"

Fangzheng said together: "Your Highness, I'm a kind-hearted person, how can I always think about punishing people? Let them kneel down peacefully."

"However, we can't be idle, we have to find something to do."

..............

Outside the door of Yi, a simple-minded and honest-looking man walked over in a ragged dress.

He spotted the Hanlins kneeling in the water at a glance, and looked around curiously.

Circle and circle around the crowd without stopping.

Finally, he got annoyed by those Hanlins, and Gu Tian, ​​who was next to him, yelled at him: "Why are you turning around! Get away!"

"Huh? Why are you all kneeling in the water? The water is so dirty and smelly!"

Gu Tian said angrily: "You know it's dirty and it smells like you're wading in the water? Get out!"

The man smiled honestly, and took out two cotton balls from his nose: "If it weren't for something happening at home, who would want to go out into the dirty water! But I have this, so I can't smell it!"

All Hanlin's eyes suddenly brightened!

With this thing, wouldn't it be unnecessary to endure the stench!This is good!Well done!

They all shouted: "Where did this thing come from, show it to me quickly!"

The man took out a large handful of cotton from the hole in his clothes, and said naively, "Hey! I have plenty of these things, do you want them?"

Zhong Hanlin was a little dumbfounded.

cotton coat?Although it is a bit cold these two days in this summer, there is no need to wear cotton clothes.

And how can you have the money to wear cotton-padded clothes when you look poor?Although it is a broken piece.

"Hey! Where did you get that cotton coat? Did you steal it or snatch it!" Someone asked bluntly.

The honest man was slightly angry: "What are you talking about! I picked it up! Is it illegal to pick up clothes? Just say if you want it or not!"

"Yes! Yes! Bring it here, what's your name?" Everyone didn't bother to think about it anymore. It's not impossible that a ragged cotton coat might have been lost by someone.

"My name is Zhang San!"

Gu Tian laughed: "Zhang San? Good name, bring me two balls of cotton quickly."

Zhang San was not happy: "Why do you give it if you want it? You don't give money!"

Gu Tian was furious immediately: "I am the editor of the Imperial Academy, you scumbag, you want money for a ball of cotton?"

"What about the official, do you want to snatch it? I'm leaving!" Zhang San laughed and walked away.

"Hey! Don't go! Come back!" Everyone shouted!

The smell in the water is really unbearable, stuffing two balls of cotton in the nose is the best, and I am willing to spend some money, at worst, just give him a few pennies.

Zhang San turned around, took out cotton and said, "Do you want to buy it?"

"purchase!"

"Five taels of silver, two balls!" Zhang San still had the same honest look.

"What! You rascal, are you robbing money? Five taels, I think you are crazy about money! Get out!" All Hanlin shouted.

This troublemaker is really hateful!It's just adding insult to injury.

How dare you ask for five taels of such a small ball of cotton that is not worth mentioning!

Zhang San didn't care, just took a deep breath close to the water surface: "Well~ I really can't smell anything after plugging it up! It's quite breathable."

"If you don't buy it, I'll leave...My lord, I'm destined to give you a ball."

After speaking, he took a piece out of a ball of cotton and stuffed it into one of Gutian's nostrils.

Gu Tian's eyes lit up, and he felt much better immediately!

The smell is not so strong, but one nostril is ventilated and the other nostril is blocked.

He wanted to stretch out one hand to block one nostril, but it was too dirty to put both hands in the water, so he gave up resentfully.

Turning to Zhang San, he said, "I'll buy a ball! Two taels and a half, here you are."

Zhang San touched the back of his head honestly: "Two balls sell for five taels, and one ball also sells for five taels."

"You fucking..." Gu Tian almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Now the nostrils are blocked all the time, and I can't buy it if I feel that I can't get up or down!

He stared at Zhang San bitterly and said, "Okay! I'll give you five taels! Give me the other ball!"

After speaking, he stretched out a hand from the dirty water, holding five taels of silver in it.

Zhang San didn't think it was dirty, so he directly took the silver and stuffed another ball of cotton into Gutian's nostril.

Gu Tian immediately let out a long sigh of relief, feeling better now...

Seeing Gu Tian's intoxicated appearance, everyone swallowed their saliva.

Finally the second person couldn't bear it anymore: "Give me two balls too!"

"okay!"

Zhang San trotted over, stuffed the man with two balls of cotton, and harvested another five taels of silver.

The man immediately relaxed.

If there is one, there are two. After that, the Hanlins started to buy cotton one after another.

Those who didn't have any money asked their friends to borrow money, and it didn't take long for everyone's nostrils to be stuffed with cotton.

Everyone felt like they were alive again.

Zhang San left with the heavy silver.

Everyone looked at his back with hatred, and their thoughts were a little complicated.

"Could this be the people under Yan Guo'an's rule? Didn't they say that they are educated well and the folk customs are simple? Why do they look like this, it's shameless and obscene!"

"It's really disappointing, taking advantage of the fire, robbery!"

"Oh, don't talk about it, there will always be fish that slip through the net..."

The discussion stopped in time, and everyone coincidentally looked at Yan Guoan's head on the Yimen with complicated expressions.

I can't help but feel a little shaken in my heart. Is it worth kneeling like this?

................

After Zhang San walked away with the silver, he looked back and saw that the Imperial Academy was no longer there.

The simple and honest smile suddenly became cunning, and he trotted all the way back to the official office.

Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao have been waiting here for a long time.

Zhang San took out the heavy silver and said to Fangzheng, "Mr. Sai, here is 600 taels of silver! They bought them all."

As soon as Fangzheng took the money, he almost missed it.

He took out 20 taels and handed it to Zhang San: "This is the labor fee, don't rush to leave, there are still tasks for you, go to the courtyard and wait."

Zhang San happily took the money, earning as much as 20 taels in a simple trip!What a jackpot!

Then he twisted his buttocks and ran into the courtyard to wait for his release.

Li Yuanzhao looked at the money bag and licked his lips: "It's you, Lao Fang, the money is the same as the one you picked up...but what else do you want to arrange for him?"

Fangzheng shook his head, with a mysterious look on his face: "Don't say~don't say~, Your Highness, wait and see the good show."

Li Yuanzhao smiled disdainfully: "I have arrangements too! Just wait and see!"

Fangzheng asked curiously, "What arrangement?"

"Don't say~, don't say!"
