I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Chapter 835 True and False Little Grandpa

"Young master, it's not good!"

Zhang Shize was punished by his father in confinement for being playful. He also said that he was required to study the art of war and take the exam when he came back. He was watching it when he suddenly heard an exclamation.

He calmly put down "Ji Xiao's New Book" and said:

"What's the matter, the sky is falling, you're panicking like this."

The servant hurriedly said: "Someone pretended to be the young master in Dai's Fragrance Shop, booked Dai's Fragrance Shop, and bought all the rouge!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shize stood up abruptly.

"Damn it, I have already said that it was not my fault that happened last time. It turns out that someone wants to discredit me!"

"It's all right now, all the playfulness and lust are all on my head!"

"Send someone to Dai's Incense Shop, I want to break the legs of that ignorant thing, dare to pretend to be my name!"

Zhang Shize threw away the book and walked away, but the servant hesitated.

"Little lord, the master locked you up just now. If the master finds out, wouldn't you still be beaten up?"

"Get a fat beating?" Zhang Shize was obviously a little scared, but soon gained momentum, "I want my father to know about Dai's Fragrance Shop, and I have to get a discount."

"For my leg, I still have to go and take a look, drag this person to see my father!"

Not long after, Zhang Shize rushed to Dai's Fragrance Shop with a group of people. Dai Chunlin, the shopkeeper, was waving in front of the door, still muttering.

"This is smoke from the ancestral grave. It's good to have such a big customer here." Immediately, he turned around and asked:

"Is it all sold out?"

The clerk replied: "As long as the ones with a little better quality are bought by the little father-in-law, now we only have some common ones left."

"Put it on, and put it all on!" Dai Chunlin rubbed his hands, and then he noticed the group of people around him staring at him.

Because Zhang Shize came out in a hurry, he didn't wear formal clothes, and he looked like an ordinary kid from a rich family, so the shopkeeper didn't feel too relieved.

"Are you all here to buy rouge?"

"Buy your sister!" Zhang Shize said angrily, "Where did that 'little grandpa' go?"

"No, I just entered that clothes shop."

Following Dai Chunlin's gestures, Zhang Shize really saw a group of people entering Zhao's clothes shop, and quickly led his people to rush over.

"Damn it, young master, I am Zhang Shize, who is using the name of young master to swindle and deceive everywhere?!"

"I am the real Zhang Shize!!"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Shize shouted loudly.

There were also quite a few people at Zhao's rice shop, and this sound quickly attracted everyone's attention, and Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan also frowned and turned their heads to look at it.

Zhang Shize was dumbfounded when he saw it.

Isn't this the emperor and the empress? Why did they leave the palace in low clothes?

Could it be that the current emperor is the one who has been carrying out dandyism in his own name?

What a disaster, I seem to have scolded the emperor just now...

"What did you say?"

When Zhu Youxiao saw Zhang Shize coming, he didn't know why he came. The surrounding environment was too noisy just now, and the kid shouted something in a mess, but he really didn't hear clearly.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know Taishan just now, and I said you are the young master." Zhang Shize immediately behaved, and succumbed in public in front of a group of angry servants.

Zhu Youxiao could see clearly that it was clearly written on Zhang Shize's face, Your Majesty, if there were not so many people, the younger one would kneel down for you.

"Oh." Zhu Youxiao roughly guessed what he shouted just now, and deliberately pulled his face down, "Tell me, which dress does Madam look good on?"

Zhang Shize glanced at Zhang Yan with a low eyebrow. After all, she was the queen, so he didn't dare to look directly at her. He said with a sneer:

"They all look good, why don't you buy them all?"

The shopkeeper of Zhao's Clothes Store's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the words, while Zhu Youxiao looked back at Zhang Shize who looked like a kid who had made a mistake, and said calmly:

"That's what you said."

"Yes……"

"Okay, I still have to take my wife around, it's not easy to come out, don't disturb our interest, get out." Zhu Youxiao left with his hands behind his back.

When Zhang Shize left, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but murmured:

"This kid, it's interesting."

The real Zhang Shize has already left, but the fake Zhang Shize is still lavishing money in the capital.

……

"Bastard!" Zhang Weixian heard about this incident as soon as he returned home, and immediately became furious, "Call me that traitor!"

Zhang Shize looked aggrieved, "Father...I..."

"Where did you get so much money that you bought everything from Dai's Incense Shop, Zhao's Clothes Shop, and Zheng's Jewelry Shop in one afternoon?"

"My face has been completely humiliated by you. I have been entrusted by His Majesty to rectify the five-army governor's mansion, but there is such a dandy son who is well-known in the capital like you!"

Zhang Shize was dumbfounded and didn't know how to explain.

He can't say, Dad, I've been a good son for a long time. In fact, all these things are done by the current emperor in my name.

If you really say that, I'm afraid not only will you be scolded, but you will really be beaten to death.

The current emperor's kindness to the British Gongyi family is more important than Mount Tai. Even if Zhang Weixian knew that this matter was true, it would be impossible to do anything.

The most likely result is to reprimand him in public to save the emperor's face.

In fact, Zhang Weixian knew about this a long time ago, otherwise, with his personality, he would probably have beaten Zhang Shize to death.

His choice was the same as what Zhang Shize had guessed. He pretended not to know, and scolded his son step by step, saving Zhu Youxiao's face.

As for the title of Zhang Shize's No. [-] playboy in the capital, he was already a household name long before Zhu Youxue went out to use his name, and these things are not bad at all.

And Zhu Youxiao, after a day of happy shopping with Zhang Yan, spread tens of thousands of taels of silver, and returned to the Forbidden City contentedly.

Once back in the Forbidden City, Zhang Yan was surrounded by Concubine Yu Tong Jinger, Concubine Liang Wang, Concubine Duan and Concubine Meng Utia, asking questions.

"Why didn't you call us when you left the palace with His Majesty!"

"That's right, it made the younger sisters envious and jealous in the palace!"

After being an empress for so many years, today is Zhang Yan's happiest day, and now she has the aura of being a mother. She knew that the emperor didn't buy all these things for herself.

However, today she is very satisfied.

She took off the two purses inlaid with silver thread embroidery on her breastplate, and Zhu Ciran and Zhu Shu'e, the eldest children of the emperor, immediately jumped towards this side cheering.

Zhang Yan squatted down, and tied the two purses to their lapels one by one.

Then he got up and said with a smile: "Leaving the palace today, this pair is probably the most delicate one I bought in the folks, it's a pity to give it to the siblings."

Concubine Yu Tong Jing'er looked overwhelmed, and brought Zhu Shu'e to salute, "My concubine thanked the empress for the reward."

Concubine Liang smiled and said: "Little sister, get up quickly! What is a purse worth! Shu'e is the eldest daughter of the emperor of Ming Dynasty, so what is there to be reluctant to part with?"

Chapter 836 Move to Shaanxi

Shaanxi, Baishui County.

As soon as the sun rose from the eastern horizon, the government knocked on the door of a farmer's house with such force that even the door panel trembled, and dust and sawdust kept falling for a long time.

Wang Er, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, was lying on the kang at this moment, staring closely at the empty roof. Hearing the sound, he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The government came again to urge tax payment...

He jumped off the kang, opened the door, and really saw the master of the government and three officials, standing in front of the door and talking with a smile.

"Wang Er, your family still owes the government one or two taels of land tax. Last time you went to the county government to beat the drum to protest your grievances. You smashed the county government's big drum and demanded ten taels of silver from you."

The master had a wretched face, leaning against the side of the door, "It's 11 taels of silver in total, when do you plan to pay it?"

Wang Er's pupils tightened suddenly, and he clenched his fists, "Didn't the tax be canceled in the second year of the emperor's succession to the throne? Besides, what's the value of the broken drum that leaks everywhere?"

The master knew that he would ask such a question, and said with a smile:

"The imperial court said that they would not collect taxes from you troublemakers, but our county government did not say that the land occupation tax was owed by your family a long time ago, and it is not among the miscellaneous taxes canceled by the imperial court!"

"That drum is worthless? It's worthless, but it has stood in the wind and rain of the county government for more than 20 years. Now it is broken by you when you knock it. What else do you have to say?"

The officer on the side smiled and said: "Wang Er, let's take the money steadily! Such a result is good for everyone."

"It's really going to make a big fuss. If you are thrown into prison, you will suffer."

Wang Er didn't reply, he was about to close the door silently, and then said in a low voice, "No money."

"No money?" The master blocked the wooden door with one hand, "Go in and search for me, and take out all the valuable things in his house!"

Watching the officer enter the door, Wang Er's face remained unmoved, and he didn't even say a word.

The two officials came in and searched for a long while, and there were bursts of laughter.

"It's all broken, and there are not many valuables."

"Even if you pay for his broken house, it won't be worth ten taels of silver!"

The master looked at Wang Er who looked like a dead fish, as if he didn't care about it, and felt strange in his heart, and suddenly became ruthless.

"Give me the land deed of his house!"

Only then did Wang Er show a look of surprise, "How can you do this? What kind of tax is the land occupation tax? The broken drum was scratched before I went to beat it. You are framing it!"

"The land deed was passed down from generation to generation in my family. Although there is a severe drought, it is still my livelihood. You have taken my land, how can I live?"

The master sneered, "It's none of my business how you live. If you don't get the land deed to pay taxes, you will go to jail. You choose!"

"Oh, take it, take it." Wang Er just fought for it symbolically. He knew in his heart that his arms couldn't hold back his thighs.

"Hey, that's right! Your tax is gone, let's go!" The master took the land deed and brought three officials to another house on the side of the road.

A man also opened the door with a puzzled face, Wang Er heard it, and then they had a dispute.

"What kind of shitty land occupation tax? The emperor of the Zhu family canceled all taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and your government is still collecting them randomly!"

"Do you want to pay it or not!" The master acted like he was convinced, and repeated his old tricks, "This is what the county master wanted. If you don't pay it, you will have to wait to be arrested and sent to prison!"

"Grandpa, I want to go to Beijing to sue your imperial court, and ask the emperor of the Zhu family, whether his imperial edict is still effective!" The man started to leave, as if there was nothing he could do in the broken room behind him Nostalgic.

"Hold him!"

As soon as the master finished speaking, the officials arrested the man.

"What are you doing? What right do you have to arrest me!" The man kept struggling, but he hadn't had a full meal for several days, so his strength was naturally inferior to the three officials.

"stop!"

The master was about to speak, but Wang Er shouted mysteriously behind him.

Hearing such a sound, the man immediately understood that he could survive, and immediately started yelling, intending to attract more people's attention.

"Hehe, what's the matter, do you want to go to prison too?" An officer let go of the man's arm, and walked over holding the gleaming waist knife.

Another officer was also threatening the man with a knife, "Shut up! Stop screaming, and I'll cut you straight!"

Facing the persecution from the officials, Wang Er retreated step by step. At this moment, more people began to appear around him.

"What are you doing?"

"Can the government collect taxes at will and arrest people at will?"

"What about the royal law of the court?"

"Where is Baishui County? Does anyone care?"

The people walked out of the room one after another, and quickly surrounded the three officials. The man also took the opportunity to break free, and kicked the master hard.

"roll!"

"Stop collecting land occupation tax, we don't recognize it!"

With the support of so many people, Wang Er has gained a lot of confidence, and shouted loudly: "Yes! I don't recognize it! Return the land deed to me!"
