"Do you think we're really a big ball at our feet?" In the lively restaurant, a fat guest dressed in sackcloth but richly decorated asked his companions, looking at his clothes, he knew that he must be a rich businessman,

"Impossible, the old man has traveled south and north over the years, almost all over the Ming Dynasty, except for the mountains and rivers, the earth is extremely flat, how can it be a ball?" An old man with gray hair immediately retorted that he was also a well-known merchant in the capital, but he had dark skin and wrinkles on his face, and at first glance he looked like a person who walked outside all year round.

"It's not really impossible, Hun Tian said that it has existed in ancient times, and even in the Han Dynasty, it once had the upper hand, since the ancients said so, I believe there must be a reason!" At this time, a tall and thin man next to him shook a fan and said, looking at his clothes should be a businessman, but he is holding a folding fan, you must know that it is just past the first month, the weather is still quite cold, and he is a businessman holding a folding fan is really a bit nondescript.

"What the ancients said may not be all right, and the supervisor of Qin Tianjian is a descendant of Yuan Tiangang, who has nothing to do with astronomy and geography, and his words must be more credible than the grandson of the Korean Gong." Then someone spoke.

"Han Gong Ke has long denied his grandson, it is said that at the birthday banquet a year ago, Han Gong drove the Li Jie father and son out of the mansion in front of many guests, completely severing the relationship......

didn't wait for this to finish, he was interrupted by a good deed person next to him: "I know this matter best, I have a relative who works in the Korean house, and he was present at the birthday banquet that day, don't you know, that Li Jie is actually very capable, and he also gave out a glass mirror during the birthday celebration, known as the first mirror in the world, at the beginning of the Korean Gong Ke was happy, but unfortunately later ......"

The do-gooder obviously knew something inside, and the people around him listened attentively when they heard this, and even the guests at the adjacent table came over, which also made the do-gooder who spoke more proudly and spoke more energetically.

When the good deed man finished talking about what happened on the day of the birthday banquet, the people around him were also amazed, although there were some rumors before this incident, but it was not as detailed as this good deed, especially Li Jie first used the glass mirror to get Li Shanchang's favor, and as a result, he angered Li Shanchang in a blink of an eye, this bizarre turn of events is simply unstoppable.

"This Li Jie understands glass mirrors, and what does he know, maybe he is really a strange person?" At this time, someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Strange people? How can there be so many strange people in this world, but he is just a grandstander, if he is a strange person, Lao Tzu is still a fairy? Immediately, some people who did not like Li Jie spoke out against it.

"This is not necessarily, have you heard of it, someone has recently witnessed the birth of a god in person?" Someone suddenly said again with a mysterious face.

"I've heard about it, too, but it's not about immortals, it's about monsters, and it's outside the city!" Someone immediately responded, and as he spoke, he looked horrified.

Hearing that there were gods and monsters, it immediately aroused the interest of other people, and immediately many people asked these two about the gods and monsters, which made the two of them also shocked, and immediately began to talk about the rumors they had heard.

However, at this moment, I suddenly saw a person rushing in from outside and shouting: "Zhang Bang, the imperial court has Zhang Bang, and in three days, that Li Jie will prove that the earth is a ball in the square in front of the imperial city!" ”

"What?"

"Really?"

……

The guests were also in an uproar, and the gods and monsters that were still being discussed just now were also thrown aside by them, and some people were suspicious, not that they didn't believe in the imperial court, but that there were too many rumors about Li Jie and Yuan Jianzheng's bet recently.

"The list is posted in front of the Yamen of Yingtianfu, I don't believe you can go and see it!" When the visitor saw that someone didn't believe it, he immediately pointed to the outside of the door, this place is not far from Yingtianfuya, and he will arrive after about two streets, and he has just come back from there.

"Let's go, let's see!" Those who have good deeds also stood up immediately, everyone has a herd mentality, and when they saw that someone took the lead, everyone else also stood up, and then a group of people all went to Yingtianfuya.

At the same time, Li Jie, who was busy in the Ordnance Bureau, suddenly got a report that two officials came to visit him, which made him stunned, although he had already entered the officialdom, but in addition to the Ordnance Bureau, he really hadn't walked around in other yamen, let alone knew any officials?

With curiosity in his heart, Li Jie stepped to the outside of the Ordnance Bureau, and really saw two officials standing outside the door, and what Li Jie didn't expect was that one of the officials turned out to be a person with a high nose and deep eyes and blue eyes.

It is still very rare for people to be officials, when Meng Yuan ruled the Central Plains, the people were their biggest accomplices, so after Zhu Yuanzhang expelled Meng Yuan, he was also very disgusted with the people of color, almost all of the previous officials of the people were abandoned by him, and some of the people were very resentful, and they were punished with capital punishment, such as the Pu family in Guangzhou, where men were slaves and women were prostitutes, so now he suddenly saw an official of the people of color, Li Jie was also very surprised.

"I don't know what you two call me, what's the matter with me?" Li Jie stepped forward and saluted the two of them, these two officials were not very old, especially the Han man next to him, who looked like he was twenty or thirty years old at most, and he looked shrewd and capable.

"In the lower Qintian Prison Deputy Ma Hama, this is my friend Guo Zhenglin, who holds the position of the five senses Lingtailang in the Qintian Prison!" I saw that the Semu man opened his mouth and introduced that Qintian Prison had a supervisor and a deputy supervisor, but Li Jie knew for the first time that the deputy supervisor was actually a Semu person, and with Zhu Yuanzhang's dislike of the Semu people, this Ma Hama could serve as a deputy supervisor, and he should have something outstanding.

"You were sent by Yuan Jianzheng?" Surprised, Li Jie quickly asked again, he had said in front of Yuan Jianzheng before that he was welcome to supervise, but the other party had never come, and now it was about to come to the appointed day, but two officials from Qin Tianjian came, which is a little strange, if Yuan Jianzheng is not at ease, why not come by himself?

"Don't misunderstand Li Siji, we are not sent by Yuan Jianzheng, but we have come to you in private to discuss important matters!" Ma Hama hurriedly explained that the Han he spoke of did not have the slightest accent, and if you close your eyes, you can't tell that he is a lustful person.

"Have something to discuss with me privately?" Li Jie was also a little surprised when he heard this, and looked at the two of them again, looking at the other party's sincere expression, it shouldn't seem like lying, so Li Jie thought about it for a moment and said, "The two of you, please, let's sit down and talk again!" ”
