Luo Tianyun voted for the fate of the fourteenth master in one sentence, and the news of winning the five hundred taels of awards spread very widely in the capital, and the heavy reward for the two problems of the honeycomb coal stove once again caused heated discussions. Countless people's eyes were red with envy and envy for Luo Tianyun, five hundred taels, and in one sentence, they got five hundred taels of white flowers! It's too easy to earn this money.

Luo Tianyun also felt that he was fluttering, his gunpowder workshop in the capital, from the nine-grade craftsman's salary of only thirty-one taels of silver a year, fifteen stones of rice, and the price of goods in the capital is high, which can only solve the food and clothing of the family, and he doesn't want to get a heavy reward of five hundred taels unexpectedly, for him, it is tantamount to a windfall.

He has been smart since he was a child, but he prefers miscellaneous learning, after winning the show, he has no intention of eight shares, because of the poverty of the family, he entered the gunpowder workshop with his mastery of gunpowder, and today he saw that the firepower of honeycomb coal is much greater than that of briquettes, so he suddenly had a whim, gunpowder is also particles, if it can be made into honeycomb coal, can it also enhance its power?

This thought is crazy in his mind, but he can't do it without a place, the management of the gunpowder workshop in the capital is too strict, it is impossible to allow him to make such a dangerous attempt, one is not good, there is any accident, no one can get rid of it, he has long heard that the fourteenth master in the gunpowder workshop in Jiangnan has a high salary, and encourages all kinds of improvement experiments, so he went to meet with the idea of trying it.

No, just one sentence, the fourteenth master praised him greatly, not only recruited him to go to Jiangnan, but also rewarded him with five hundred taels of silver, until he received the silver ticket, he was still like a dream, he couldn't believe that all this was true, and he exchanged the silver number for twenty taels of silver, and his heart was steady.

All the way home, he was in a particularly good mood, passing by'Daming Zhai, he didn't hesitate to buy a big bag of pastries, after 'Qiyuanju, he wrapped two catties of donkey meat with sauce and then, and then cut five catties of beef boldly, approaching the end of the year, he was reluctant to eat on weekdays, and now that he has money, he naturally wants to buy it home to relieve the children's slander. ^^

Luo Tianyun walked on the street with a big bag of pastries and sauce donkey meat in his left hand, a large piece of beef in his right hand, and a stack of silver tickets in his arms.

Suddenly, a vicious dog skewered out of nowhere, pounced silently, and bit the beef on his right hand in one bite, and then quickly ran forward, Luo Tianyun was caught off guard, and he was thin, and he was taken to the ground when he landed, not only the beef was taken away by the dog, but the cakes and sauce donkey meat were also spilled on the ground, the hat also fell off, and the robe was also stained.

When he got up in embarrassment, there was a burst of laughter behind him, he looked back in embarrassment, and saw several evil slaves surrounding a young man in his twenties, a group of people were laughing and leaning back and forth, and at a glance saw that the young man was wearing a golden belt around his waist, Luo Tianyun quickly tilted his head to the side.

Living in Sijiu City, whether you are a flat-headed commoner, a gentry or an ordinary official, there is a basic common sense, which must be known.

The yellow belt is another name for the clan of the people of the capital, all because the clans below the prince are tied with golden belts, and the children of the clan with yellow belts at the waist are just entering the customs, but there are only hundreds of people, after more than 70 years of Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, the yellow belts in the capital have already reached thousands of people.

The title of the clan is descending, and it is generally the eldest son of the heir, and the rest naturally have to earn their own fame and future, because of the comfortable life and the rich family, most of the yellow belts are unwilling to endure hardships, so they have become idlers, and the so-called idle clan refers to them.

These identities are extremely noble, rich and powerful, and they are idle all day long, and the yellow ribbons who are so idle that they are so idle that they will have fun all day long, mingling in the opera garden Qinglou, teahouse and restaurant, or just looking for fun all over the city, one by one with a group of wolf-like servants, leading dogs and eagles, shouting on the street, rampage, causing trouble everywhere, in the capital it is a well-known person who hates dogs. …,

However, the imperial court relied on these yellow belts very much, regarded them as the four beams and eight pillars of the Qing Dynasty, not only enjoyed a variety of political privileges and generous treatment, but also enjoyed judicial privileges, the yellow belts were all managed by the Zongren government, and the yellow belts could be punished for crimes, and the crime of flogging and cane could be discounted for money and grain; If you commit the crime of flail, you can be confined to an empty room; A first-time offender who is guilty of a crime of three years or two and a half years shall be imprisoned for one year.

In a word, the yellow belt kills people without paying for their lives, and if they break the law, they can only be handed over to the royal inner yamen-Zongren Mansion to deal with, and the yellow belt who came out to mix has a mantra, "Tell you, hide a little, I haven't killed anyone for a few days!" ”

Luo Tianyun saw that he met the yellow belt, and he could only sigh to himself that he was unlucky, and bent down to clean up the snacks and sauce donkey meat on the ground.

Seeing this situation, Luo Tianyun naturally understood that the vicious dog was deliberately ordered by this yellow belt to grab the meat, and he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart, and glanced coldly at the group of people in Shuangqi.

Shuangqi's group of people, who had to kick three times when they saw the stone, became excited when they saw Luo Tianyun's eyes, and a servant smiled evilly: "Master, that bastard dares not to look at you directly." ”

"Let's go, take a look, I want to see where such a miscellaneous glass ball pops up." Shuangqi's chin raised slightly, and he commanded casually, and as he spoke, he led a group of servants to surround him

When Luo Tianyun saw this situation, he couldn't help but secretly complain, looked around, and saw that there were two infantry soldiers leading the yamen not far from the street, and he didn't care about the pastries, so he pulled his legs and ran away with the two soldiers.

As soon as he saw that the fun was gone, how could Erqi be willing to do it, and he scolded: "Malier, hurry up and chase it." Then he commanded, "Three donkeys, let the dogs go." ”

The three donkeys were a little eye-catching, and hesitated: "Master, that fun may be a showman." ”

"A sour show scared you like this?" Erqi scolded with a smile: "Let go of the dog, everything is borne by the master." ”

What kind of effort do you have, the last time I let the dog bite a small official, or I received the family law for you, this fun in case it is the prisoner of the country, it is no problem to beat down, let the dog bite, then the disaster will be big, the three donkeys are slandered in their hearts, this hesitation, two servants have already caught up, and the three donkeys are accompanied by a smile: "Caught, master." ”

Erqi raised his eyes and saw that he had caught it, and he couldn't help but kick the three donkeys with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "Look at your virtue, get up tomorrow, and set up a bird cage for the master." ”
