"The villain obeyed the order, and after the statistics on the account, the two of them were greedy for seven hundred and twenty-six taels of silver and one hundred and eight stones of rice grain for a year and a half, and only found more than 100 quantities of silver in their homes."

The crisp cracking sound sounded in the ears of the servant, Wu Zhixian's face became even more ugly, his eyes burned with anger, and a green tendon on his sideburns beat gently.

The official didn't dare to pick up the fragments of the teacup on the ground, so he knelt down and kowtowed, "Your lord's anger, your lord's anger." ”

"The official's monthly salary is only forty-five taels, and in a year and a half, two unpopular scholars are greedy for ink more than the official's money in a year. Punish me! Heavy punishment! ”

The back hall was silent for a while, and the official knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to say a word.

Wu Zhixian knew that he was a little out of shape, and calmed down some of his anger, but his face was still gloomy, "Those people who have been bullied but are afraid to report it, and Baiyin will not compensate them, let them fend for themselves!" ”

"But the student named Shi Moxi knows how to take advantage of the situation, and his words are also reasonable." Wu Zhixian said that his mood seemed to be relieved a lot at this time, and his constricted brows also stretched a little.

"All the money lost by this son will be compensated, go and arrange it."

"The little one obeys." When the official answered, he had to step down.

"By the way, go and call Master Wang to me again, I have something to ask him." Wu Zhixian's words seemed to be unfinished, and he muttered a little: "Well...... take another fifty taels from the treasury silver and give it to Shi Moxi as a reward." ”

"Let's do it!"

After a while, a man in his fifties with the typical appearance of a master holding a folding fan bowed in.

"My lord, the villain has arrived."

Wu Zhixian looked at the master with a smile, "What?" There is no news coming. ”

"My lord, Lord Yan Fengyan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, will pass through Taiyuan Mansion the day after tomorrow, and the prefect is also preparing to hold a banquet to celebrate the New Year for Lord Yan." The master said respectfully.

"Well, very good, Lord Prefect, as Lord Yan's protégé, presumably Lord Yan will not refuse, and when the time comes, we will wait for the banquet, once we win Lord Yan's favor, this assessment will definitely be dangerous." Wu Zhixian stroked his beard and smiled.

"Lord Yan loves poetry, and he will do a poetry meeting at the banquet he attends, so Moxi is the key to my plan at that time."

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured, Mo Xiliang will not disobey your Excellency at that time. When the villain arrives, he will personally go to Xiaozhi's interests, and Shi Moxi will definitely do his best. ”

Wu Zhixian still stroked his sparse beard, "Okay, just do what the master said, go and do it." ”

On the other side, Shi Moxi didn't know that his fate had been arranged, and at this moment he was still thinking about where to go to get phosphorus.

As a liberal arts student, he racked his brains and couldn't figure out where and how to extract phosphorus.

Li Shizhu looked at Shi Moxi who didn't know what to read while walking in a circle with a worried face, and asked him not to answer, at this moment he was very suspicious that his eldest brother was evil.

"That's right! There is phosphorus in the fireworks, although it is not pure, but it is estimated that it is enough to rub and catch fire. Shi Moxi stomped his feet excitedly, but he scared Li Shihammer, who was about to call Aunt Li over.

"Brother Shi, are you okay?" Li Shizhu asked cautiously, he had heard that people who are evil should not be too frightened, otherwise they will lose their hearts.

Shi Moxi excitedly grabbed Li Shizhu's arms and shook them vigorously, "It's done!" It's done! Real hammer, you go buy some fireworks and come back! ”

"Oh, oh." Although Li Shizhu not only knew what was going on, he also promised to run outside.

After a while, Li Shihammer walked into the courtyard gate out of breath, holding a lot of fireworks in his hands.

"Brother Shi, you don't give me any money, all the money I saved so hard will be spent, you have to compensate me well." Li Shihammer handed the fireworks to Shi Moxi, and said with pain on his face.

Shi Moxi can only deal with it awkwardly, there is no way, he is also a shy and empty-handed poor egg.

"This county order is too unreliable, and there is no news so far, and I can't rely on Aunt Li to survive."

Shi Moxi looked at the disassembled fireworks in his hand and was relieved, "With this thing, we don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”

Shi Moxi prepares coarse paper of appropriate thickness and cuts it into pieces of paper of appropriate size, then integrates the scattered powder and then adds a little water, waits until it is stirred evenly, and then spreads the powder on the paper and waits to dry.

Without any intention of resting, Shi Moxi sat next to the drying, feeling worried, although he was eighty or ninety percent sure, but after all, this was related to his happy life in the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't help but worry!

Shi Moxi was waiting anxiously when he suddenly heard a shout coming from the door, and it was his name called.

Puzzled, he looked sideways at an old man dressed as a literati, and recalled slightly, "Huh? Isn't this the master? Shouldn't he send money? It won't be the little grudge of the county that came to trouble me. ”

Thinking of this, Shi Moxi felt that he should take on the responsibility of an adult, after all, the disaster could not be caused by relatives, and we could not let Uncle Li and Aunt Li be wronged.

Standing up and glaring and shouting, "Bang! One person does things and one person does, what is there to find the master, the master is a manly man and a man who dares to be a man! ”

The master was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: I'm afraid there is something wrong with this kid?

Aunt Li, who was busy coming out to greet her, also looked confused, looked at the master's puzzled eyes, her shoulders were slightly cowardly, and she responded that she didn't know what was wrong with this child.

The master restrained his expression, and a smile appeared on his face, "Shi Xianggong, don't panic, my subordinates really don't understand what you have to do, but it's true to send silver." ”

"Huh? Isn't it to punish sins, but to give silver? As soon as he heard that there was silver, Shi Moxi immediately came to his senses.

"Haha, where is the punishment of crimes, you are the one who has made a meritorious report, and you deserve to be rewarded." After that, he clapped his hands, and saw two officials in soap robes walking outside the door, and the two of them were holding wooden trays together, on which white flowers and silver shone in the sunlight.

For the first time, Shi Moxi felt that this dazzling light made people not disgusted, but extremely holy, as if with the brilliance of life, it was the goddess of dawn calling me.

"When the time comes? When is it fair? A call broke Shi Moxi out of joy.

Seeing that Mo Xi came back to his senses, he secretly said in his heart that he didn't know, but the words in his mouth didn't stop.

"My lord saw that you reported meritorious, in addition to the silver that was greedy for ink, he also specially rewarded fifty taels of silver, afraid of your trouble, and exchanged the rice for silver together, but are you still satisfied?"

Shi Moxi hurriedly thanked him, but he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, "This old thing has a request for me, but I don't have much to do with him, someone must have instructed him to do it behind him." ”

Shi Moxi suddenly remembered yesterday's words before the county magistrate left, "Could it be that the county magistrate asked me to do something with a little show!" ”
