Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 544
"Yes... yes..." He answered in his mouth, his eyes full of doubts.

The yamen servant was overjoyed and asked again: "Do you dare to ask if Xu Zhengming is at home? The magistrate is here in person, hurry up and greet him!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengming's daughter-in-law immediately looked at the official sedan chair. She never dreamed that it was the magistrate's arrival. She panicked at this moment, and hurriedly shouted inside: "My child, he Father, the magistrate is here, hurry up and greet him!"

At this time, the man in the house, Xu Zhengming, had just walked to the door to close the door. He heard the movement of his wife in the yard. He would believe it and just replied: "Is it someone from your mother's family who wants to trick me into going out? Why don't you go?" !"

After saying that, he closed the door directly with a silent closing sound.

In the past, there really was such a thing, his two brother-in-laws wanted to fool him out, and then smashed his speeding car.

When his wife saw it, she was a little dumbfounded.

"Father, it's really the magistrate who is here!" The child was also anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly shouted.

When Xu Zhengming heard it in the room, he couldn't help being a little annoyed, and shouted loudly: "You little bastard, you dare to lie to your father? If you have nothing to do, go to grandpa's house with your mother, don't be hungry!"

"..." The yamen servants at the door looked at each other, but they were speechless.

Xu Zhengming's daughter-in-law had already come to her senses, looked at the yamen servant apologetically, then let go of her son's hand, and rushed into the house in a hurry.

After a while, she was seen pulling Xu Zhengming out of the house by the ear.Then, feeling that this was inappropriate, he quickly let go of his hand, and to Xu Zhengming who was rubbing his ears, he wished he could use the empowerment method and said, "Hurry up and meet the magistrate, otherwise how can you be a mere carpenter?"

Seeing his daughter-in-law's face flushed and about to cry, Xu Zhengming finally felt something was wrong, so he quickly stretched his head to look outside the courtyard.Sure enough, he saw the figure of a yamen servant.Immediately, he was shocked, and quickly ran over.

The master at the side of the official sedan had long been impatient, and when he saw Xu Zhengming coming out, he immediately approached the official sedan and said, "My lord, Carpenter Xu has come out."

After finishing speaking, he listened carefully to the movement in the sedan, and then he said to Xu Zhengming who was standing at the door and didn't know what to do: "I heard that you built a flying car that flew away in the wind and was more than a foot above the ground. , Flying across the harbor branch is not possible without a bridge?"

Xu Zhengming's family couldn't help being taken aback by Master's question.Didn't expect that the dignified magistrate came here for this matter?

Xu Zhengming was the first to come to his senses. With a little doubt and a little pride, he immediately replied respectfully: "Sir, that's right!"

"Master Zhifu wants to see how your flying car is doing!" The master asked immediately after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengming's daughter-in-law became anxious, how could this kind of thing get into the eyes of the master of the Zhifu, and if there was any problem, how could his own man bear it if he asked the crime?

So, she answered first: "My lord has misunderstood, my family..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Zhengming interrupted her.I heard him say with joy: "Yes, yes, but it can't be used here. It is more convenient to go outside the city."

Xu Zhengming has a very strong sense of pride for his painstaking work, the most proud thing, which was criticized a lot in the first place, but now he even attracted the magistrate to watch it in person.All of a sudden, the temperament of being afraid of his wife has changed.

The magistrate did not speak to Xu Zhengming from the beginning to the end, nor did he show up. Only after the master told him, he agreed to Xu Zhengming's request and went to demonstrate outside the city.

When Xu Zhengming heard this, he was very excited, and immediately ordered the servants to help them get things.

Seeing that he is so ignorant that he let the servants do this and that, his daughter-in-law is so anxious that she doesn't know what to do!

She understands that when her man encounters this matter related to speeding cars, he is like possessed by a demon. If he continues like this, he doesn't know how many disasters he will cause.At this time, she decided to wait for the magistrate to leave, and no matter what, she would burn this broken thing.If the man refuses, call his two younger brothers, and burn them no matter what!
As she thought about it, she saw that her man happily followed the sedan chair outside the city after he took the things. Feeling uneasy, she took her son and hurriedly followed.

In this short period of time, some neighbors heard the movement and saw the situation, and they were also curious about why the magistrate was interested in this useless thing, so they all followed and went out to watch the excitement behind.

Arriving at an open place outside the city, just on the edge of the moat, Xu Zhengming seemed to be the master himself, yelling at the yamen servant to stop, and then said to the master: "The villain will assemble the flying car, my lord, please watch it, it can fly to the other side go!"

When his daughter-in-law saw it, she couldn't care less, rushed over, and told the master: "My lord, my husband's thing may not be effective. If it doesn't work, please forgive me, don't blame me. My little girl will help you first!" Kowtow to apologize..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Zhengming, who was blushing, and he said loudly: "It will definitely not fail, I have improved!"

This is his masterpiece, how can something go wrong at a critical moment.If the magistrate left without looking at it after being told by his wife, wouldn't it be a lost opportunity to show off!
The master saw him and waved to a yamen servant, so the yamen servant went over and politely invited Xu Zhengming's wife aside.There was room for Xu Zhengming to start assembling the thing.

Xu Zhengming glanced at his wife, didn't say much, and immediately started to assemble it.It can be seen that he is very proficient, and it seems that he can close his eyes.In a short while, things are almost assembled.

The onlookers were all curious and stared.I saw that the flying car was shaped like an armchair, with mechanisms and gears underneath.After the assembly was completed, Xu Zhengming sat on the chair and stepped on the two wooden boards.

During this process, even the prefect himself lifted a corner of the curtain to watch Xu Zhengming assemble it.

The other onlookers, some of whom had seen it and some of whom hadn't, were all talking about it.

"This carpenter Xu, if he doesn't do carpenter work properly, he insists on tinkering with this kind of thing, and it's useless. It's really hard for his wife and children!"

"Why is it useless? Look, the magistrates are here!"

"It's probably someone exaggerating. Just look at it. After a while, this thing can only fly so high. What's the use? I can jump higher than this!"

"Also, this thing is not very effective. I have seen Carpenter Xu fall into the water several times!"

"..."

Hearing these words vaguely, the magistrate frowned slightly, but his face was more curious, and there was even a hint of expectation.

And Xu Zhengming himself heard something, turned his head to look at his wife and children, and showed a rare apology.But it was only in the blink of an eye, and he was ready to start with a solemn face.

Seeing him like this, the yamen servant immediately signaled to the people around him, and then, the scene surrounded by many people became very quiet.

At this moment, the sound of "Gulu Gulu" was suddenly heard.In this quiet environment, it is very clear, at least everyone present should be able to hear it clearly.Immediately, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Xu Zhengming, as well as Xu Zhengming's wife and his son, who had a chain reaction.

Needless to say, it was hungry.

Hearing this movement, some onlookers couldn't help sighing: "Look, Carpenter Xu has tossed his house so hard that he didn't even have food to eat!"

When the magistrate in the sedan chair heard this, he couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression when he saw Carpenter Xu who was blushing.

Carpenter Xu glanced at his wife and children, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he began to kick his legs, turn the mechanism up and down, and suddenly the scene was flat and windy.

The mechanism turned faster and faster, and the wind that was blowing became stronger and stronger.Finally, under the attention of everyone, the flying vehicle actually staggered off the ground carrying Xu Zhengming.Although it is not very high, it has left the ground after all.

When the prefect saw it, he stared at it without blinking.Just watched Xu Zhengming control his speeding car, and after flying up, he slowly flew to the other side.

During this time, there were two small accidents.One was a sudden wind, which made Xu Zhengming's speeding car sway a bit, almost hitting the wall of the river ditch.Another time, when approaching the opposite bank, the speeding car seemed to fall off, but finally reached the other bank and did not fall into the river.

After seeing the situation, the magistrate turned his head to look at his master, seeing him nodding slightly, he knew what was going on, and passed the message to Xu Zhengming.

This time, the prefect didn't even care about the cold wind in the field. He got out of the official sedan, faced Carpenter Xu, and asked kindly: "What's the point of your speeding car? Can you explain it clearly?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengming, who was out of breath, immediately replied: "My lord, the villain heard about the story of the Qiji people riding a flying car in the "Shan Hai Jing", so he thought about it himself, and then built this flying car." , The truth of this is naturally known, otherwise, it would not be possible to create it, isn't it..."

Then, he began to talk eloquently, full of confidence and pride when speaking.

The prefect listened to him without interrupting once.From it, he heard Xu Zhengming's persistence and obsession.Looking at the patched clothes of Xu Zhengming's family and what he heard just now, he knew that Xu Zhengming's flying car had dragged his family down.

"...It's just a pity that this flying car flies too low, so the villain has been thinking about how to fly higher, at least to fly over the roof." Xu Zhengming turned to look at his wife and children when he said this. , suddenly could not continue.

In front of the magistrate, in front of so many people, the family of three was so hungry that his stomach was growling. Even if he was addicted to speeding, he knew that he was sorry for his wife and children, and felt a little ashamed.

Seeing him like this, he heard the prefect say to him kindly: "Your vigor is comparable to chiseling a wall to make light of it. So, how about I help you and let you concentrate on thinking without any worries?"
