Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 787 Outrageous

  As the sun sets in Xishan, as the officials in charge of Xiyuan get off work one after another, the business of eating stalls outside the gate of Xiyuan Palace becomes more and more popular.

  As officials patronized the food stalls, the whole story of the Taicang bank theft case became more and more detailed, and the details about Zhu Pingan's check of the bank bank became more and more abundant.

  Of course, in the process of word of mouth, there are more and more versions about Zhu Pingan, adding a lot of subjective color.

  When Liu Mu and Liu Dadao were eating steamed buns, they were stunned for a moment when they heard the discussions of the people on the table around them.

"Master Zhu is a good naked official. He is clean and conscientious. There are too few officials like this now. Although I am the driver of Mr. Liu's family, from now on, my old horse, I am the most The official I admire is Master Zhu who checks the bank with bare buttocks."

   At the adjacent table, a coachman surnamed Ma took a big gulp of wine, chewed the mutton, and said with saliva.

  Well, well said, Liu Dadao was delighted when he heard it, as if the person said it was him, and the buns in his mouth became even more fragrant.

"You all say that Mr. Zhu is an upright and responsible official, but I think this Mr. Zhu is quite stupid. Oh, don't look at me like that, listen to me. Let's not say anything else, just talk about this Taicang bank, the Taicang bank Where is it? I don’t think I’ll say anything, but everyone knows that this is the treasury of our Ming Dynasty. How about an old saying, that’s called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the mountains and the water to eat the water, and this one is backed by the bank, of course it’s for food. You guys I understand. You said that this Taicang is empty, who doesn’t know. Look, there were five officials who went to check the bank with Mr. Zhu, and the leader was a third-rank official. Mr. Zhu’s official university, as a result, in two days, they all found excuses to put down the pick, and only Mr. Zhu was left. You said that Mr. Zhu didn’t follow the example of others, but in the end, Mr. Zhu just posted it and checked it out. , Do you think Mr. Zhu is stupid?!"

"You say that being an official in the court, internal fighting, surveillance, etc. are just like our gags. It's commonplace, and everyone is joking around. It was originally for the sake of making a living. If you really work hard, Everyone will weigh it up, but Mr. Zhu is different, like a raw melon egg, Ding is Ding Mao or Mao, very serious. Later, when he was in the warehouse, he was not allowed to enter, saying that he had to be like a warehouse if he wanted to enter the bank. Bing like that can only wear a loincloth, but Master Zhu took it off without saying a word, not to mention the loincloth, he was completely naked."

"At that time, the officials present were all frightened and stupid. Why are they still playing like this? Didn't they say that their parents and scholars could be killed but not humiliated? Why does Mr. Zhu seem to be ignorant of etiquette? But Mr. Zhu dared to Playing like this, Mr. Zhu is so naked, walking into the bank, as if he is telling everyone that I am so innocent."

   "If you are naked, there will be no flaws. In this way, Mr. Zhu, relying on his impeccable own conditions, thoroughly checked the bank's account books, counted the gold and silver in the bank, and caught all the big rats in the bank in one fell swoop."

   "You said Mr. Zhu is stupid or not. But don't say that, the common people still need such stupid officials, and our old Li still obeys such stupid officials."

  A man at the same table as the coachman surnamed Ma, with his chest open, revealing tufts of lush chest hair, looks like a warrior, with a thick-backed machete beside him. The man stretched out his big furry hand and patted the table, bluffing.

In fact, when the man said that Zhu Ping'an was stupid, Liu Dadao had already put down the bun in his mouth. If Liu Mu on the side hadn't held him with his hands, Liu Dadao would have gone up to the man to ask for an explanation, or he would have been dragged by Liu Mu. Seeing that, Liu Dadao also stared at the man fiercely, that's why the man said that you don't look at me like that.

When the man said the following words, Liu Dadao was smoothed like a donkey, and when the latter was said, Liu Dadao listened with gusto again. When the man said the last thing, Liu Dadao Can't help but applaud loudly.

  There are many similar discussions on food stalls.

   However, as time went on, these versions of the talk became more and more off track, and more and more outrageous.

  For example, the following discussion is far away.

   "Do you know, when Mr. Zhu took off his clothes and went into the bank warehouse, why were the officials onlookers shocked?" Someone exploded with a look of knowledge.

   "Why?" Someone asked curiously.

"That's because Mr. Zhu has the capital, and when he took off his clothes, he shocked the officials watching on the spot. Otherwise, if you say why Mr. Zhu is so active in taking off his clothes, it is self-confidence." The man said plausibly, stretched He gestured for a length with his hand, as if he himself witnessed it on the spot.

   "You are joking, isn't that a donkey?" The person next to him heard this, and retorted in disbelief.

  poof.

  Hearing this, Liu Dadao squirted out a mouthful of steamed stuffed bun just after he took a bite of it.

   In normal times, with Liu Mu's skill and Liu Mu's understanding of Liu Dadao, he will definitely be able to avoid it. But the problem is that Liu Mu was also choked up after hearing what the man said, and he hasn't recovered yet. As a result, Liu Dadao sprayed Liu Mu all over the face.

   "Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Liu Dadao clumsily stretched out his hand to help Liu Mu wipe it off, as if trying to wipe it evenly.

   "Forget it, I'll do it myself." Liu Mu shook his head in disgust and avoided it.

  At this time, the topics on the food stalls have become too biased. The version of Chaku is outrageous to the point of the Arabian Nights, but some people still say it is true.

   "Do you know why Master Zhu stripped off his clothes to check the treasury? Do you know why Master Zhu settles accounts faster than the top accountant in Taicang? That accountant you are talking about? It is the famous ghost hand Zhang in our capital."

"No matter how powerful the ghost hand Zhang is, he still has two hands, but Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu doesn't have two hands. Don't forget, Mr. Zhu took off his clothes. Mr. Zhu not only has capital, but also can make calculations. Ghost hands Zhang only has two hands, how can he compare to Master Zhu. Before the settlement begins, Zhang has already lost."

  poof.

   Liu Dadao vomited again.

   "Young Master has come out."

   At this time, Liu Mu's sharp eyes saw Zhu Ping'an walking out of the palace gate, and he pulled Liu Dadao who was going to argue with others, put the money for the meal on the table, and pulled Liu Dadao to meet him.

   "Have you had dinner?" Zhu Ping'an asked, "If you haven't, you can eat at this restaurant before returning. I just used it in the palace."

"We just ate your son. Well, it's almost curfew, let's go back quickly." Liu Mu and Liu Dadao handed Zhu Pingan the reins of Shamate's black horse, urging them, lest Zhu Pingan enter the restaurant. Words that don't matter.

"Oh, okay."

  Zhu Ping'an didn't think too much about it. Hearing that the two said they had eaten, and because it was indeed time to light the lanterns and the curfew was about to come, he nodded, and the three of them rode to Linhuaihou's mansion.
