Chapter 5: The Dragon Well in the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 5: Ming Qian Longjing
Of course, the yellow cloth bag that Zhou Ning was holding in his hand was not an object that ordinary people could have, and this bag had an official name called 'Fish Charm Bag'. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the name suggests, the 'Fish Charm Bag' is, of course, used to hold the 'Fish Talisman', what is the 'Fish Talisman'? Like the name symbol, the fish symbol is used to prove the identity of a person, and it is a special 'identity card'.
The name symbol was reserved for literati, while the fish symbol was reserved for officials.
The fish talisman is in pairs, one yin and one yang, one is left in the court, and the other is issued to officials, and the two are correct.
The fish symbol is used to verify the identity of the official, and the official seal is the seal used by the official to issue official documents.
Although the name is an honor, it is not necessary to carry it on the body. The fish charm is different, the fish charm does not leave the fish charm bag, and the fish charm bag is not allowed to leave the body.
The so-called dragon has treasures is this reason, that is, the emperor must also carry the 'dragon talisman' on his body when he goes out on patrol, otherwise it is easy to have big things.
Zhou Ning raised the fish talisman bag to show his identity, although Zhang Xianling and Master Zhang didn't know that Zhou Ning was a few officials, but they at least knew that they were several officials.
In terms of grade, the county order can be said to be an official who sticks to the ground, even if Zhou Ning is a small official, he is at the same level as him, and those who are smaller than him will not wear a fish charm bag.
The master is in front, the county order is behind, and the two of them ran down from above, making people baffled. As soon as he said that he was going to hit Zhou Ning's board, he immediately changed his painting style and went down to greet him, which made people a little unable to react.
The officials all stared at the beautiful cloth bag in Zhou Ning's hand with round eyes, the shape was a fish, and there were embroideries on it, I don't know what this cloth bag represents, it has such magical power.
"Master Zhou" Master opened the folding fan with a smile on his face and gently pointed it towards Zhou Ning's chest. In front of the fan, the body temperature will rise when the person is angry, and the subtext of the master's action is to ask Zhou Ning to disperse the fire. "It's all small and eyeless, and you have a lot of adults, so it's no wonder."
Lord Zhou? The officials were secretly surprised in their hearts, I was a god, and I actually arrested the court officials by mistake? There are also people who secretly wonder in their hearts, 'Liu Wang's family actually hooked up with a little white face who was an official?' ’。
"Hehehe" Zhang Xianling smirked awkwardly, and he scolded Zhou Ning to death in his heart. You him. Mom, don't you show this thing early? Why are you willing to be tried?
You're not dumb, isn't it good to talk straight when you meet? How ugly is it to make the atmosphere so stiff now? What Zhang Xianling is most worried about is not the problem of face, but what kind of official is Zhou Ning?
What is he doing here? Why did he go to Liu Wang's family? Could it be that this case has alarmed the people? If he only came for this case, he would be fine, but I am afraid that he did not come for a certain case, but for him.
If Zhou Ning came specifically to investigate him, it would be bad. He hit the knife directly, and it could be seen from his expression that Zhou Ning was really angry just now.
Even now Zhou Ning is also full of anger, without a little kindness, this is not a good sign, Zhang Xianling smiled on his face, in fact, his legs and stomach were turned straight.
"Lord Zhou, you have worked hard all the way, hard work." Zhang Xianling couldn't find any polite words that could be used for a while, and said dryly: "Let's talk in the back hall." ”
The master waved his hand and said to the officials, "What are you doing here?" Aren't they all gone? ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly scattered like birds and beasts. No one wanted to stay in this hall, especially the people who participated in the capture of Zhou Ning, who ran faster than rabbits.
In the blink of an eye, there were only Zhang Xianling and Master Zhang in the lobby looking at Zhou Ning and smirking, Zhou Ning checked the fish talisman bag in his palm, looked at Zhang Xianling and said, "Don't check the authenticity?" ”
If Zhou Ning was holding a name symbol in his hand, Zhang Xian Ling would really be able to verify the authenticity, after all, there are still many people who imitate name symbols.
Even if the government investigates it, at most the fake name charm will be confiscated, and a fine of 50 taels of silver and a sentence of one or two years in prison will be the end.
But the fish talisman is different, forging the fish talisman is a felony, even if you don't do anything, but you are carrying a piece of forged fish talisman on your body, the minimum is that the thorn is matched to be 800 miles away for at least five years and cannot come back, and the heavy head will even sit down.
Not everyone has the guts to forge fish talismans, that's really a desperate practice. Zhou Ning doesn't look like an outlaw no matter how he looks at it, Zhang Xianling still has this bit of eyesight.
"Lord Zhou is really funny, come on, let's go to the back hall to talk." Zhang Xianling almost pulled Zhou Ning with his hand, and bowed down with a smile and stretched out his hand to make a 'please' posture.
Zhou Ning was angry, and he didn't think about competing with him. When people give them steps, they should get off the donkey. Although he threw the lot, after all, the board didn't hit his body.
Although Zhou Ning doesn't want to make friends with a foolish official like him, he doesn't want to grudge with him, and he still doesn't want to do a good job of adding a stumbling block to himself.
Zhou Ning put away the fish talisman bag, and his face was full of smiles: "Xiao is the newly appointed Yunjiang Magistrate, who passed by Guixian on the way to his appointment, and should have come to visit, but I didn't expect Lord Zhang to send someone to tie up Xiao Ke so kindly." ”
"Hahaha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Zhang Xianling's brain is white-haired, I heard that he was going to Yunjiang County to take up his post, and a big stone in his heart 'fluttered' and fell to the ground, so it was better not to investigate him.
The master walked two steps quickly and instructed the back hall to prepare tea and prepare a banquet.
Zhou Ning followed Zhang Xianling to the back hall, and the two sat down separately. Yahuan came over with a tea tray to offer tea, gently put the tea cup on the square table in Zhou Ning's hand, and said 'Son's slow use' and retreated.
Zhou Ning picked up the tea cup and lifted the tea lid, and a fresh fragrance came to his face. Zhou Ning really didn't expect that there would be such a good dragon well in this small county office.
"Mingqian Longjing, this is this year's new tea." Zhou Ning was born in a family of eunuchs, and he still has a lot of research on tea. It's only early May now, and this remote place can get the Longjing picked on the eve of Qingming Festival, which shows that this county order is very unusual.
How can an official have a low IQ? Zhang Xianling could naturally hear Zhou Ning's seemingly flattering words, but he was actually beating him. Before the Ming Dynasty, Longjing was a tribute, where could ordinary people enjoy it?
Zhang Xianling smiled very calmly: "Brother Zhou, don't you know, now the tea in Yugongyuan has been openly sold, and I paid a fixed amount of money last year to get a pound of fresh tea." ”
"I see." Zhou Ning really didn't know that the tea in the Imperial Tribute Garden was publicly sold, was this emperor short of money?
