The sky was cloudless, the sun was shining, and the March chūn wind swept across the south of the Yangtze River, even this small Yongkang county town looked full of life.

Yongkang County East Street, is the most prosperous street in the county, almost all the shops in Yongkang are concentrated here, although around Yongkang, there are more than ten markets, but the market is not every day after all, so the people are willing to come to the county seat to visit what they lack.

However, the county seat is the county seat, and now it has been on the three poles, the pedestrians on the East Street are sparse, an old farmer, wearing a hat, holding his trouser legs, straw shoes are full of yellow mud, leading a buffalo, carrying a hoe and walking in the East Street, from time to time he also touches the blanket hanging on his chest.

There is a bunch of money in the blanket, this is all his savings, and he is going to buy a longevity lock for his grandson who is about to weave the full moon to go to the jewelry store, gold and silver can't afford it, brass can still afford it, there is no money, what other people's children have, his own grandson should also have, who let this person's heart grow downward.

The second thing, of course, is to buy an iron bell for the new calf, so that it will not be lost.

"Bump ......." A second kick exploded in the sky, and then the angry old man heard the noise of gongs and drums in front of him, and the firecrackers rang out.

But after waiting for a long time and there was no movement, he faintly heard the sound of singing, and the old man wondered, whose family is this birthday? I remember that when the old lady of the Zhang family had a birthday a few years ago, she sang a big drama for seven days, and it was a pleasure to watch.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly led the cow and listened to the lively movements, but when he arrived, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"It turned out to be an opening, but I have only heard that there are happy events and singing during the New Year's holidays, why do you sing opera at this opening? It's too big! "The old man is a little unpredictable.

In front of him, the original cloth village has now changed its face, and now there is a huge gold-lettered plaque of "Yirenfang", and there are many people standing at the door, and they don't know what they are laughing at.

"The county magistrate has arrived." At this time, I heard someone singing in the distance.

The old farmer hurriedly hid, and saw the county magistrate get off the sedan chair, at this time a little brother who was only twelve or thirteen years old came out of Yirenfang, the magistrate said and laughed with him, and looked at the county magistrate who was always alive and well, and now he spoke politely to this little brother.

The old farmer couldn't help but look at the lively people and asked, "Who is that baby?" Why is there such a big show? ”

"Oh, you don't know yet? That's the big celebrity in our county, Zhang Mu of Zhangfu who just hit the head of the case. Look at the business, it's just opened. Passers-by laughed.

"You say that this rich man is not good at studying, what kind of business is he doing? In the future, the champion will not be more beautiful than earning a few hundred dollars? The old man frowned and said.

"You don't understand this anymore, that rich man still thinks he has a lot of money? I've heard that I'm going to give things away for free in a while. ”

As he was talking, the gongs and drums sounded, and the troupe began to sing, and more and more people watched the excitement, and hurriedly rushed towards the stage.

"This ruined thing." The old man thought disdainfully.

"The Yan family in Yifeng Township, the old lady Yan is here." At this time, the old man suddenly heard a dense gong and drum beat, and a group of lion dance teams stepped on the drums to the gate of Yirenfang, and the lion dance team began to perform.

He knows the Yan family in Yifeng Township, a famous rich man, and a very kind person, but he didn't expect to have an intersection with the Zhang family.

Before the lion dance was finished, I heard joy in the distance, and then someone shouted: "Lord Yin of Jinhua Mansion sent a pair of gold plaques." ”

The old man turned around and saw the two yacha turn over and dismount, holding a plaque and sending it to the door of the store. ”

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue, why did this kid make friends with some nobles at a young age.

It's just that before I finished thinking about it, I heard someone shouting again: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture are preparing for the road, and the deputy envoy of the prosecutor Li will send a golden pig to the punishment." ”

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang Salt Class Lifting Division Zhou Lifting Sending a pair of lacquer gold buckets."

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang Cheng announced that the political envoy Si Wang participated in politics and sent a pair of Baoyu pendants."

Hearing this, even Zhang Mu was a little stunned, but this was not over, and then someone shouted: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the commanders of the envoys, and the commander of the envoys is a congratulatory gift from Lord Qian." ”

Now Zhang Zhixian is a little dumbfounded, they all command the envoys to take charge of the military and political power of a province, and they don't take the local officials in their eyes at all, and they all send people to send congratulatory gifts, not to mention that Jiangsu and Zhejiang Cheng announced that the political envoys and the criminal prosecutors have people to give congratulatory gifts, and even the officials of the salt department have gifts, which shows that Zhang Mu's identity as a brocade guard is true.

Zhang Mu listened to others singing the gift list, and a helpless wry smile appeared on his face.

It has been five or six days since he came back from the mountain temple, and in these five or six days, Zhang Mu has hardly left the door, and he has not stepped out of the second door, and has devoted himself to studying and making soap at home.

Zhang Mu found that the alkali noodles used to make steamed bread can be made with quicklime and water, and after having caustic soda, it can be better than the soap made of stone soda, with higher transparency and stronger decontamination ability.

However, a lot of things have happened in the past few days, since Song County Cheng was arrested, there has been a bloody storm in Jinhua Mansion.

First of all, the Jinhua Institute was arrested and the deputy thousand households were hanged, and a thousand households were beheaded and more than 300 people were exiled, which shook the local area.

Immediately after Jinhua Mansion Tongzhi, Tongju, and the head of the owl filled the grass, and several counties around Jinhua Mansion were not arrested, and I still don't know whether it is life or death.

After the incident, Zhang Zhixian ran away from Zhang Mu's house like a channel, but fortunately, Zhang Mu comforted and comforted, these few rì are better, but things are still fermenting.

Now in the entire officialdom of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, people are panicking, because the Jinyi Guard, who made them frightened, suddenly came back overnight.

Just when they were colliding with headless flies, they didn't know where to let out the wind, saying that Zhang Mu of Zhangjia, Yongkang County, Jinhua Prefecture was related to this case.

So in the next five or six days, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang officialdom inquired about Zhang Zhixian, this inquiry did not matter, knowing the whole story, they studied it and decisively felt that Zhang Mu had a problem.

As a result, a small rouge shop in Yongkang County opened, and there was a puzzling scene today.

"Brother Zhang, why are you unhappy that so many big officials have given you gifts?" Tao Xingchang stood beside Zhang Mu and asked in a low voice.

"Happy fart, I just prepared a few rì stable rì, now it's all in the soup, is that what Lord Han meant?" Zhang Mu asked.

"I don't know about this, you can ask Lord Han for yourself when you go back. But I have a great thing to tell you here. Tao Xingchang bought a pass.

"What?"

"After three rì, it is the rì of your house test." Speaking of this, Tao Xingchang lowered his voice and said, "The pacification envoy Jiang personally came from Yingtianfu to see you by name." Hehe, it's time for your kid to get promoted and get rich. ”

When Zhang Mu heard this, he asked curiously, "That's the one you are talking about?" ”

"Tsk, could it be that? Of course, it's Jiang Zong (huan) Jiang Daren. Tao Xingchang said.

When Zhang Mu heard this, he immediately gasped, and he immediately realized what a terrible torrent he was involved in.
