Chapter 140: I Heard
Zhang Xianling found that Zhu Ming's hand was shaking, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart: This Zhu Ming is too timid, and he can be so frightened that he can't hide it in front of him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhu Ming didn't pay attention to the change in his expression, his heart was turning over at the moment, this was definitely done by the surnamed Chu! I didn't expect this surnamed Chu to be so ruthless, the Lin family was unharmed, he still served the other people in a pot, and finally sent the bandit leader to prison.
After knowing this, he was more afraid of Chu Zhao, and he was glad in his heart that he didn't anger him in the morning. Otherwise, he thought, and unconsciously touched his neck.
Seeing him in a daze, Zhang Xianling didn't call him, and ate by himself.
At noon, Donglang Town ushered in the most lively time of the day, the street was full of pedestrians, hawkers shouted one after another, restaurants and teahouses, full of seats.
At this time, a group of four people led the horses and walked over slowly, they were high-spirited, low-key and gorgeous. They talked in low voices, with northern accents.
"Master, this is Donglang Town, that is, the town where Lin Xiaohan's child is located." The middle-aged man in dark clothes said to the man in bright yellow clothes.
At this time, if Zhang Xianling was here, he would recognize that they were the four people he had met in the official road tea shed before. It's just that I don't know what their identity is, but they came for Lin Xiaohan.
"Okay, it's noon, and I'm hungry, so I'll go eat first, and I'll talk about other things after eating. Wait, just eat rice noodles. I want to see what the rice noodles you have been obsessing about taste like. The man in bright yellow replied.
"I can't guarantee that you will love to eat, but I can guarantee that you have never eaten it." The man in the dark clothes, Mr. Wei, laughed twice, but he couldn't remember where the rice noodle shop was, so he asked pedestrians on the street.
"Oh, guest, you are talking about Han Han rice noodle shop, you know, you walk along this street, turn right at the intersection in front, and walk another fifty meters." The pedestrians enthusiastically showed them the way, and finally added, "But if you go now, you will probably not have a seat, and you will have to wait in line." ā
"Oh, is that good business in that store?" A white-faced, beardless man in soap-colored clothes asked in a soft voice.
The pedestrians seemed to be a little uncomfortable when they heard him speak, and looked at him strangely, before replying: "Because the owner of the store won the lawsuit today, and he was in a good mood, he announced that he would eat half price of noodles in the store today." So a lot of people have gone, and you're here today, and you've come to the right place. ā
The man in soap glared at him fiercely because of his unswerving glance, and said arrogantly: "We are not those greedy people, we have silver!" He turned back and said to the man in yellow with a smile on his face, "Master, there is no place to go anyway, so you can't let you line up hungry!" Let's eat somewhere else. The rice noodle shop, anyway, can't run, you can eat it another day. ā
In fact, rice noodles or something, he is really not interested, and he thinks that it is just a country snack, how can it be compared with the exquisite meals at home.
Mr. Wei smiled: "Xiao Zhuozi is so rich, master, let him cover the cost of our trip this time." ā
The man in soap, Xiao Zhuozi, complained bitterly: "Mr. Wei, you can't be like this, our family, no, how can I have you rich?" How can you be rich? So...... Father...... Hehe. ā
The man in yellow was amused to laugh when he saw his funny appearance of squeezing his eyebrows.
"Before you came out, didn't your godfather tell you to serve your master well? I can't even give up a little silver, it's too picky, it's just a shame on your godfather's face, be careful to go back and I will sue, and let your godfather give you a meal to eat. Mr. Wei threatened with a straight face.
Is it okay to serve this and not serve the other, why do you want to pull money like this? Xiao Zhuozi thought to himself, but he knew that this famous Mr. Wei was the most stingy and stingy, and he expected him to pay the money, no way! You can't ask the master to give out the money.
"Don't, Mr. Wei spares the little ones. It's not easy for the little one to ask the godfather for this opportunity, and it's a great blessing for the little one to come out to serve with the master. Okay, the small ones are out, and now it's generous, and all the expenses in Donglang Town this time are small. Little Zhuozi made a painful expression.
"If you say yes, it's over. I know your kid, the celebrity in front of the master, except for your godfather is you, there must be a lot of rewards on weekdays, and there must be a lot of various inputs, don't take this opportunity to hurry up and honor the master, when will you stay? Wei Zheng said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Xiao Zhuozi chrysanthemum tightened, what does Mr. Wei mean, is he beating himself. When I thought about it, my face turned pale. Secretly looked at the master, and saw that there was no different color on the master's face, and his heart was a little settled, it seemed that he was too worried. There is anything in the family that can be hidden from the master, since the master is silent, it is acquiescence. But I don't blame him for thinking too much, the gentleman's heart is unpredictable.
The man in yellow watched the two of them bickering, with a smile on his face. It seems that this time it is really right to come out, otherwise how can I see such a harmonious and happy side of the monarch and ministers.
That's right, this man is the supreme ruler of this country, Huang Fu Hao. It turned out that some time ago, there was nothing major in the country, and there were neither internal nor external troubles. He was really bored staying in the palace, watching the boring twists and turns of the ministers every day, and a bunch of women in the harem were jealous and endlessly inviting flattery and favor, and his head was big. So he made a decision, he was going to leave the palace.
Wei Zheng not only did not object, but also readily agreed. The emperor can come out for a private visit and observe the people's feelings, which is much better than sitting in the Jinluan Palace all day long and listening to the gossip of those ministers, or alarmist, or concealed. Besides, he's also a master who can't stay still, and now he has a good reason. So the monarch and the minister discussed and hit it off.
Wu Gonggong, the head of the inner guard, did not listen to the persuasion, so he could only send his most powerful godson Xiao Zhuozi to follow the emperor to serve and protect, and he had to stay in the palace to cover for the emperor's stand-in. In fact, there were only four of them on the surface, but secretly they followed two hundred royal secret guards, all of whom were strong in martial arts, otherwise Huangfu Hao would not dare to come out like this.
A few people laughed and went to Han Han's rice noodle shop, just because Huang Fuhao heard that one of the owners of this shop was Lin Xiaohan, and their family won the lawsuit. What exactly is the lawsuit, he is curious.
Hey, in fact, the emperor also likes to listen to gossip very much, but on weekdays, the minister and the people around him are hindered by his majesty and never dare to talk nonsense in front of him. As a result, one of his gossip hearts was seriously watered by a lack of nutrients. That's why he doted on Wei Zheng so much, just because Wei Zheng often chatted with him about some interesting things, which added a lot of fun to his boring imperial life.
Both of them are gossip lovers, so they naturally smell like each other and complement each other. This is one of the reasons why other ministers can't think of Wei Zheng's favor. Of course, it is also because Wei Zheng is not a real flatterer.
This man was a decent man, very loyal to the emperor, and a good official who loved the people like a son. But he also has a criticized "shortcoming", that is, he picks the door, and he is very picky. I never pay for dinner with people, and every time I can find a good reason to let people treat me obediently, I can't tell the bitterness. He never took the initiative to give gifts to anyone, but he smiled at other people's gifts, but the return gifts were stunned - the men were returned with home-grown vegetables, fruits, and even eggs from their own chickens, etc., and the women were returned with hand-embroidered handkerchiefs by their own wives. But just like that, they had to give him gifts obediently. Just because he is the second grade of the imperial history, he can supervise hundreds of officials, and he is also the emperor's favorite minister, who dares not to give him face. Therefore, this Lord Wei is loved and hated, and it can be said that it is a wonderful flower above the court.
When they arrived at the rice noodle shop, they saw that the store was overcrowded. Outside the store, there is a poster called "poster", which reads: In order to thank all new and old customers for their love, in order to express my joy, today our store rice noodles and snail noodles are all half price.
At the door stood a girl in a light dress, and when she saw someone entering, she said, "Welcome!" And when someone leaves, they say, "Thank you for coming, welcome next time!" ā
The four of them watched for a while, and were about to leave in frustration. At this time, suddenly someone on the street shouted: "Big news, everyone go and see, there are people beating drums and complaining about grievances in the county government again, and this time it is Master Gao who is suing." ā
The crowd asked, "What's going on?" ā
"Is it still the Lin family's lawsuit?"
"It's impossible, didn't you just beat Miss Gao fifty times and sentenced her to fifteen years in prison?"
The man saw that everyone was very interested, so he sold a pass: "This time it is not the Lin family's complaint, but it is also related to the Lin family, because I saw the eldest son and the younger son of Lin appear in the court." ā
"What the hell is going on? Don't sell it. Someone urged impatiently.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, the man satisfied his vanity a little, and coughed twice before he said, "It was a beggar who sued Master Gao." ā
Beggar? Cut, a beggar can still sue Master Gao, it's just a fool's dream, maybe he will eat a killing stick just after he goes to court, and if he is unlucky, he will be killed with a stick. Even if the beggar is killed, no one cares.
When the people did not believe, the man was not angry, but asked mysteriously, "Do you know who that beggar is?" ā
Everyone shook their heads, unable to guess.
"He is the Dong family, a famous timber merchant in Donglang County more than ten years ago, and the only son of Master Dong."
"You're dizzy, aren't you? I know the Dong family, Master Dong is also a famous good man, but it's a pity that good people don't live long. Once, when he went out to do business, he met a robber and died. Hearing the bad news, his wife also hanged herself. And his daughter died suddenly because of the sudden death of her parents, and soon died of depression. Speaking of which, Master Gao used to be Master Dong's son-in-law. The Dong family died, and the son-in-law of Master Gao inherited all the family property and business. But I remember, Master Dong only has a pearl in his palm, where did he come from? Those in the know said. (To be continued.) )
