I am the county magistrate in Daming

"Dongchang?! Impossible!" Zhu Jingshou's eyes became fierce for a moment.

Dongchang is directly dispatched by Brother Huang, who only cares about the affairs of Shuntian Mansion and cannot appear in Suzhou Mansion.

"Xiao Qi has already gone to confirm the authenticity of the brand." Xiao San said.

The death of Li Canshi caused a thousand waves of waves, and the water in Suzhou was thrown into chaos.Zhu Jingshou's subdued tour was not for Li Canshi alone, but for the power behind him protruding from Shuntian Mansion.He sent people to watch for a long time, but recently he was a little slack, and he was taken advantage of.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Jingshou decided to go to Suzhou Mansion to investigate the cause of Li Canshi's death.If Dongchang is really involved, he must return to Shuntian Mansion immediately to get rid of this deeply hidden cancer.

"Prepare the car. You stay here to protect Mu Qingtian's safety, and you can't leave for a moment!" Zhu Jingshou said, "When this king returns, if Mu Qingtian loses a piece of meat, you will go to prison and stay for a month."

A chill rose from Xiaosan's back. He didn't go into the details of why his master was so nervous about Mu Qingtian, he just said: "Yes, my lord. For the matter of Li Canshi, I can't absolve myself of the responsibility. Please rest assured, my lord will definitely protect you." It's good to Mu Qingtian."

Mu Qingtian was bored sitting at the table fiddling with the teacup, waiting but Wu Tingyun didn't come back.

"My lord has been waiting for a long time." Wu Tingyun opened the door and came in, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand.

"Are you done?" Mu Qingtian asked with his head turned.

Wu Tingyun handed the candied haws to Mu Qingtian, took a deep look at him, and said with a little reluctance: "My lord, I'm afraid Tingyun won't be able to go back to Zimingli with you."

Mu Qingcai just stuffed candied haws into his mouth, and when he heard Wu Tingyun say that, he almost knocked out his teeth.He was a little flustered, put down the candied haws and stood up, embarrassed and uneasy, and said, "What do you mean you can't go back? Are you in trouble? Are you going out to do errands as before, or... you won't come back again?"

Wu Tingyun looked at Mu Qingtian who was at a loss, his throat tightened a bit.

"It's a difficult thing."

He didn't dare to promise Mu Qingtian.Even if he travels back and forth between Suzhou Mansion and Shuntian Mansion at full speed, it will take at least half a month on the road, not to mention that if Dongchang is really restless, it will not be an easy matter to deal with.

Mu Qingtian nodded, took out four coins from his purse, broke Wu Tingyun's hand and put it in his palm.

"You have been with me for two months, this is monthly money."

After finishing speaking, he took out another tael of silver and said to Wu Tingyun: "I have nothing to give, I can only give you some silver as a loan. I will go to thousands of rivers and mountains, take care of it."

Mu Qingtian didn't expect that the first parting after he arrived in Ming Dynasty was actually with Wu Tingyun.Although he didn't know Wu Tingyun's identity, nor his purpose, but during the two months of getting along, he had already regarded Wu Tingyun as one of his own.

Wu Tingyun was afraid that he would regret it if he stayed, so he resolutely took the money and turned around, turned his back to Mu Qingtian and said, "Your Excellency, take care of it."

After saying that, he left.

Mu Qingtian sat for a long time before digesting the fact that Wu Tingyun had left. He unconsciously touched the candied haws that had been placed beside him for a while, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

Hiss, so sour.

Li Canshi's death dealt a great blow to Xiaosan, since he worked under the prince, he never missed a shot.Li Canshi is a stain that he can't erase all his life.Because of this, at this time, he was squatting in the inn with all his energy, monitoring and protecting Mu Qingtian.

"Mr. Mu, what a coincidence!" Seeing Mu Qingtian walking out of the inn with a bag alone, Xiao San rushed to meet him.

Mu Qingtian turned back, looked up at Xiaosan, and said, "Huh? You are, you are the third son?"

Xiao San broke into a smile and said, "I didn't expect Mr. to remember me."

How could he not remember, Mu Qingtian cursed.After all, the impact of the three people in the room on him was too great, leaving an indelible shadow on his old heart.

"Where are you going, sir? If you don't mind, can you let me accompany you?"

Mu Qingtian was immersed in the sadness and loneliness of losing Wu Tingyun, Xiaosan's words were like a timely help.

"Is it possible?" Mu Qingtian asked, "Will it delay your business?"

"Of course not." Xiaosan smiled brightly, and stood side by side with Mu Qingtian naturally, "I am worried about the long journey without anyone to accompany me. If I can go with Mr. Mu, I think it will not be boring."

"Then let's go, I'm going back to Zimingli after I buy some things."

"Zimingli, I know it's a good place just by the name. I've never been there, but I'd like to ask Mr. Mu to introduce it well." Xiao San opened his eyes and talked nonsense, coaxing Mu Qingtian around.

"I've never been there?" Mu Qingtian looked at him with a playful smile.

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Xiaosan's forehead, and he said stiffly: "Mr., you are joking. I grew up in Suzhou Mansion since I was a child, and now I have only come out to travel in Jiguan. How could I have been to Zimingli?"

"Simingli doesn't welcome strangers, Third Young Master, please go back." Mu Qingtian suddenly lowered his face, as if to leave.

"Sir! Mr. Mu! Mr. Lizheng!" Xiao San hurried to catch up, fearing that something might go wrong.

Mu Qingtian turned back, looked at Xiaosan slyly, and said, "Huh? I didn't tell you what I do, did I? How do you know I'm 'Mr. Lizheng'?"

Xiao San was amazed at how delicate Mu Qingtian's mind was, that he saw through his disguise in an instant, and even turned against the general.

"Sir..." He was a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

"Okay." Mu Qingtian waved his hand, "I didn't intend to embarrass you either. You and Ting Yun are on the same side, tell your master next time you go back, don't engage in seamless connection."

The last time three people suddenly appeared in Wu Tingyun's room, he had already become suspicious. Now, as soon as Wu Tingyun left, the "Third Young Master" followed behind him--I am afraid that "Third Young Master" is just a nickname .

Xiaosan suppressed the shock in his heart, and said respectfully: "Since the master has recognized the identity of the next person, let's go to Zimingli together."

He knew how His Highness got along with Mu Qingtian on weekdays, and he also knew that His Highness called himself "My Majesty" in order to conceal his identity.Now if he were to protect Mu Qingtian, he couldn't go beyond the rules of his status.

With such a clear mirror heart, no wonder His Highness would look at Mu Qingtian with admiration.

With a driver's helper, Mu Qingtian no longer plans to buy a driver.He came to Chongming County this time not only to stabilize the sales of peppers, but also to buy hens and eggs to improve the quality of life of the people in Zimingli.

I visited several stalls in a row, perhaps because of his peculiar accent, the vendors charged ridiculously high prices.After comparing all morning, Mu Qingtian didn't pick Xinyi either.

Life is not easy, the uncle sighed.It seems that no matter when it is, slaughtering foreigners is a tradition.

In the end, Mu Qingtian decided to go to the owner of Fushoutang for help, but when he walked halfway, he ran into someone he least wanted to meet now.

"Sir? Mr. Mu!" Wu Wang shouted from behind.

Mr. Mu is not here!There is no such person!Mu Qingtian pulled up his collar to cover his face, lowered his head and grabbed Xiao San's hand and walked forward quickly.

"Hey! Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu, wait for me!" Wu Wang's voice became louder, attracting the attention of people around him.

"Mr. Mu? Since Ming Lili is Mu Qingtian?" Yao Jingdao asked.

Mu Qingtian wished he could find a hole to get in.Why did Wu Wang get mixed up with the county magistrate of Chongming County? He just finished cheating the county magistrate, and seeing each other now, isn't it courting death? !

Xiao San looked at Mu Qingtian's timid and frightened look, then looked back at Yao Jingdao standing next to Wu Wang, and couldn't help frowning.He stopped, grabbed Mu Qingtian with his backhand, and fixed him in place.

Mu Qingtian couldn't pull Xiaosan's hand away no matter how much he pulled, and he couldn't run away. Seeing Wu Wang and the county magistrate getting closer, sweat dripped from Mu Qingtian's palms.

"Sir, we are not afraid of the shadow slanting, we are afraid of what he will do!" Xiao San said impassionedly.

you!Give!I!Bundle!hand!put!open!ah!He shouldn't have agreed just now, how come the unlucky bastard gets more and more stupid the more he looks at it?It's better to stop the cloud!

"Mu Lizheng." Yao Jingdao nodded.

Surprisingly, his attitude is quite good, even kind.

"Master County Magistrate." Taking advantage of Xiaosan letting go, Mu Qingtian broke free, bowed and cupped his fists to salute Yao Jingdao.

Yao Jingdao's eyebrows twitched quickly, but no one noticed.

"I've heard about Mu Lizheng's name for a long time, but seeing him today, it's really extraordinary." Yao Jingdao smiled gently.

"Where, it's not as good as adults." Mu Qingtian also responded in Mandarin.

Wu Wang was very happy, thinking that he had introduced Mu Qingtian to Yao Jingdao, and let Mu Qingtian show his face in front of the county magistrate so that he could be promoted in the future.

"Where is Mu Lizheng going?" Yao Jingdao asked.

"Go shopping, just go shopping." Mu Qingtian laughed.Ting Yun had told him a long time ago that Zhang Fu and Yao Jingdao had been mixed up, and they must be careful.

Yao Jingdao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Since it's a stroll, why not come to the county government office and let me do my best as a landlord, what do you think?"

how?Not how!

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient."

The sea knows when the fish cries, but who knows when he cries!

Zhu Jingshou put on his own horse and rushed to Suzhou Mansion day and night.Shi Houjian, the magistrate of Suzhou, had been waiting for a long time and opened the city gate directly.

"My lord, the other courtyard has been tidied up. You are tired from running around, so you should rest for a few days." Shi Houjian said.

"No need." Zhu Jingshou took off his fur cloak and handed it to Xiao Qi, "Where is Li Canshi's body, I will check now."

"Yes, please, my lord." Shi Houjian hurriedly led the way, "I have finished the experience and no trauma was found. Li Canshi must have fallen into the river and drowned by mistake after being drunk."

"The lord is investigating the case, and the idlers are waiting to step back!" Xiao Qi knew the character of her lord, and she disliked others making wild guesses based on fragmentary evidence.

Shi Houjian immediately kept quiet, led the two of them to the freezer where the corpses were stored, and left.

Because it was autumn, and the Suzhou government sealed it with ice, Li Canshi's body did not rot too much, and his face was clear.

Zhu Jingshou put on leather gloves, groped for a while at the lower jaw of the corpse, and said, "There is no mask, it is Li Canshi."

Then, he carefully checked Li Shenshi's body and limbs, but found no obvious wounds.He asked Xiao Qi to turn the body over again, and there was no trace of being hit by a heavy object on the back.

"Stand back." Zhu Jingshou went around to the chest of the corpse, and waved his hands to keep Xiao Qi away.

He clenched a fist with one hand and placed it on Li Canshi's chest, raised his other hand high, and then lowered it hard, hitting the fist.The force of the beating was so strong that Li Canshi's body bounced up.

After repeating this several times, Zhu Jingshou stopped and turned to look at Li Canshi's mouth—no water came out.

"It's not drowning." Xiao Qi quickly got the answer.

Zhu Jingshou nodded and said, "Bring a razor and shave off your hair."

There are many rules in the work, the dead are the most important, and the corpses are never destroyed. Zhu Jingshou has no such scruples.On the battlefield, he killed people like hemp, and he didn't even pay attention to the living, let alone the dead.

"This is it!" Xiao Qi saw three red dots after only shaving off a strand of hair.

Zhu Jingshou came over and took a look, not surprised at all, as if he had guessed it a long time ago, he said, "Continue to shave."

When Li Canshi's hair was all shaved off, the dense red dots on the top of his head were exposed in front of Zhu Jingshou and Xiao Qi.

"Nice trick."

These holes are extremely small, like embroidery needles.So dense, even if Li Shenshi wanted to live, he couldn't survive.

Wu Zuo's inference was correct, Li Canshi had no external injuries, and could only have drowned, but Shi Houjian's emphatic statement that he was "drunk" seemed superfluous.

To observe the degree of swelling of the limbs, Li Shenshi was soaked in water for at least one night.The water washed away the blood on his head, and the pinholes were soaked white, no different from the scalp.Wu Zuo did an autopsy right after the body was recovered, and even if he checked the scalp, he couldn't find these pinholes.

The person who killed Li Canshi wanted to use this method to create the illusion of Li Canshi's accidental death, but he did not expect that Zhu Jingshou would come to investigate in person.After the body was frozen for a few days, the wound on the scalp gradually appeared, which also proved that Li Shenshi's death was not an accident at all, but someone did it deliberately.

"Where's the token?" After finding out the cause of death, Zhu Jingshou breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm afraid that Li Canshi committed suicide in fear of crime and broke the clues he found before.Since someone tried their best to kill Li Canshi, it means that Li Canshi absolutely knows the secrets of those people, and the relationship between Li Canshi and them is confirmed.

As for who "they" are, Zhu Jingshou already has the answer.It's just that this force is very involved and cannot be uprooted directly, otherwise it will cause chaos in the court.He had to peel off the cocoon and get the evidence step by step to bring down that person.The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and the emperor wants to protect it, but he can't.

"Here." Xiao Qi picked up a wooden box and opened it to Zhu Jingshou.

"Fake." With just one glance, Zhu Jingshou was sure that this so-called "Dongchang Token" was a fake without even picking it up to look through it.

Xiao Qi was surprised, and carefully recalled the patterns and words on the bronze medal, trying to find some missing details.

"You really should go back to Jinyiwei and let Mou Bin practice hard." Zhu Jingshou was very dissatisfied with Xiaoqi's performance, "Let's not say that the bronze medal grew moss after being soaked in the water overnight, and the bronze medal from the Imperial Horse Supervisor is thanks to them. come out."

Xiao Qi suddenly realized, a little embarrassed.He didn't find such obvious evidence, and the prince was not wrong.

The driving license plate of the imperial horse supervisor is the unique identity token of the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor. Each plate is engraved with a number, and the left and right official scripts read "No need to go out of Beijing". For this card, those who do not have the card will be punished according to the law, and the borrower and the lender will have the same crime."

The eunuch is in charge of the horses in the palace and the carriages of the emperor. They will check the waist cards every day. If the cards are not correct or lost, they will be severely punished.

If there is no news from the palace, it means that no one's token is lost.

"Go check the serial number and see which eunuch's token it is." Zhu Jingshou closed the lid and prepared to return to Chongming County.If he was quicker, he might still meet Mu Qingtian on the road.

"My lord! A letter from the capital!" Shi Houjian stood outside the door, holding the yellow letter in both hands, kneeling respectfully on the ground.

"Exemption."

Zhu Jingshou pushed open the door, took the letter from Shi Houjian and started reading it.This is Huangxiong's handwriting, and there is a big seal at the end, it is indeed from Huangxiong's hand.

At the beginning of the letter, he first asked about his recent situation, and then said a lot of other things, and the last sentence elicited the emperor's real intention.

"Return to the capital quickly, there are important matters to discuss."

Because it is a letter between brothers, plus the custom of writing colloquialisms handed down from Tai/zu's time, the writing of this letter is very casual, and the language is also informal.

Far away in the capital, Empress Zhang ordered the imperial dining room to cook a bowl of ginseng and mutton soup, and took it to the small study.

Zhu Youtang sat at the table, hesitating to write.

"What is the emperor worrying about?" She walked over to put down the soup bowl lightly, and stroked Zhu Youtang's shoulder to relax his tendons.

"Writing a letter to the emperor's younger brother, I always feel that asking Kang Jian is a little bit legitimate."

Empress Zhang asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly think of writing a letter to Chang'an?"

Zhu Youtang put down his pen and said with a smile: "This kid, even if he is crazy outside, he doesn't know how to send a letter to the palace."

"You just miss your brother, and you still say that he is not good." Queen Zhang scolded, "Chang'an is running around for you outside, so don't play tricks."

"Let him go back to the palace and show it to the queen mother and her elders. How can it be called trickery?" Zhu Youtang raised his eyebrows, picked up his pen and began to write.

"It's good to come back and take a rest." Queen Zhang nodded in agreement.

Zhu Jingshou didn't know that his brother and sister-in-law in the palace were making fun of him, so he really thought there was something urgent and rushed back to Shuntian Mansion.Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the mansion, the eunuch came to the palace and took him to the empress dowager with a sedan chair.

"I knew that you didn't want to marry a boring girl from a civil servant's family, so I picked some from a general's family. I see that the second daughter of Ma Shangshu is not bad, and the family of Liu Daxia, the right minister of Guangdong, is also very good."

Zhu Jingshou didn't want to talk about these things, and he couldn't disobey the queen mother, so he could only find ways to turn to other topics.

"Next year will be spring, and it's time for the draft again. Brother Huang still doesn't plan to open a harem?"

Zhu Jingshou finally understood that the co-author Huangxiong asked him to come back as a shield.

The queen mother sighed and said: "The emperor has his own opinions, and I can't control them."

Zhu Jingshou took the opportunity to say: "Then I'll help you persuade Brother Huang."

After finishing speaking, he left the Compassionate Ning Palace as if he had fled without waiting too much to persuade him to stay.

"What, are you back?" Zhu Youtang leaned on the back of the chair and took a breath of hot air while holding the tea.

"Brother Huang, what are you talking about?" Zhu Jingshou also sat down.

"Prince Qing's choice of concubine is not a big deal." Zhu Youtang laughed loudly, and waved away the eunuchs and maids serving around him.

"The emperor has no blessings, let's save it until next year's draft." Zhu Jingshou was not polite, and choked his brother.

Zhu Youtang paused, and scolded: "Sure enough, you are crazy outside, I must tell the queen exactly what you said."

After the two brothers laughed a few words, the strange feeling disappeared after a long time.Zhu Jingshou also missed his brother and sister-in-law in the palace very much. Although he was upset by the forced marriage by the queen mother, overall he was more happy than sad.

"I called you back this time, there is indeed a serious business." After two cups of tea, Zhu Youtang sat up straight and said seriously.

"Brother, please tell me, but it's at your disposal."

"Fanbang paid a tribute to a batch of tea leaves, which were imported from Guangdong City Ship Office and passed through Chongming County." Zhu Youtang pointed at the table and looked up at his younger brother.

Zhu Jingshou frowned and asked, "Why did you detour to Chongming County?"

"There are very few people in the court who know about this matter, so I just thought, but instead of sending the tea to the palace, you might as well keep it and drink something good."

"From Shipsi, Guangdong City to Shuntian Mansion, I can personally escort, or send someone from Prince Qing's Mansion." Zhu Jingshou thought that the emperor's brother was testing him, so he said hastily.

"One hundred catties of tea leaves, I'm afraid I can eat them as vegetables."

"No need." Zhu Youtang raised his hand and said, "There are too many old teas piled up in Chongming County. I'm afraid you won't be used to drinking them. It's time to get some new ones."

Then he glared at his younger brother and said, "If you can't drink it, you won't sell it. Do you think you have too much money? If you have too much money, send some to the national treasury. I don't think so."

Zhu Jingshou understood Zhu Youtang's meaning in a moment, and smiled with lowered brows: "Since Brother Huang has said so, then you can't go back on your word."

Zhu Youtang nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Your sister-in-law heard that you came back, and specially made some pastries. Don't run away, eat before leaving."

When he saw Zhu Jingshou's fidgeting butt, he became angry. After running outside for several years, he couldn't stay in the palace anymore, right?

"In such a hurry, rush to see your girlfriend?" Zhu Youtang teased.

I thought that my younger brother would immediately turn his back on him, but I didn't expect that it was silence.

"Is there really a match??" Zhu Youtang was surprised.Didn't he do something wrong and alarmed the Queen Mother?

Zhu Jingshou's heart was very confused, and his mind was also a mess.He was anxious to go back to find Mu Qingtian, but is Mu Qingtian his girlfriend?

"I don't know." Finally, Zhu Jingshou shook his head.

This shaking of the head aroused Zhu Youtang's curiosity.What kind of person is it that can make his brother, a stubborn stone, bloom.

"If you like it, you like it. If you like someone, you can be generous and don't worry about what to do."

"But... I really don't match him well."

"Tell me?" Zhu Youtang raised his eyebrows.

"He was born in a merchant, and he was young." He was also a man like him.

Zhu Youtang's face darkened visibly to the naked eye.He stared at Zhu Jingshou, and asked: "Status is so important? Empress Xiaomu is the daughter of a barbarian native official, and you and I are bleeding with humble blood?"

The death of the biological mother is the eternal pain in the hearts of the two brothers, and Zhu Youtang hates others for saying that his mother is a barbarian.Even the current queen, Mrs. Zhang, did not come from any master.

"I didn't mean that, Brother Huang. Please calm down." Zhu Jingshou knew he had said something wrong, "In the end, these are all excuses. Brother Huang didn't understand what he wanted, so he used 'unsuitable' as an excuse."

"I don't see you for a day, and I miss you like crazy." Zhu Youtang eased his expression, "I think about her every day after I leave her, whether she is well, whether she is happy, and whether she is in love. Even if there are thousands of words in my heart, when we see her again Still speechless."

Seeing that his younger brother still didn't understand, Zhu Youtang impatiently changed the vernacular and said, "If one day she marries someone else, what should you do.

Zhu Jingshou imagined Mu Qingtian wearing a red wedding gown, standing in the wedding hall and praying to heaven and earth—the one standing opposite was not him, but a delicate woman.

"He dares!" Zhu Jingshou's eyes were red, wishing he could rush into the wedding hall and turn the world upside down.

"It's not over."

Only now did Zhu Jingshou realize that he actually liked Mu Qingtian.After thinking everything through, the emotion in my heart was almost overflowing.I don't see you for a day, and I think about it like crazy.Now he understands.

"Don't try to run away." Zhu Youtang couldn't see his younger brother's urgency the most, and his toothache was so sore, "Your sister-in-law was afraid that you would be freezing outside, so she asked the Shangyi Supervisor to drive away several sets of jackets, try them on. Let's go."

Zhu Jingshou smiled "hehe" and said, "Sister-in-law Huang personally sews clothes for you, brother-in-law every year, only two or three sets of jackets and brother-in-law treats me like this. I will definitely ask sister-in-law to make more coats next year."

"roll roll roll!"

After Zhu Jingshou left, Zhu Youtang began to think about what his younger brother said just now.

"I went to Suzhou this time and met a very interesting person."

"The imperial examination is still exempted. He can't read a few words, let alone go to the palace, and he can't even pass the provincial examination."

"Brother Huang thinks, in a few years, Brother Huang will be able to see him in the main hall."

Zhu Jingshou never hides anything from him, judging from his expression, he is indeed very satisfied with this person.But he is illiterate and does not know how to fight. What is it that makes his brother who is hard at home favor him?

Could it be the appearance? !Zhu Youtang felt that he had come to the truth, and hurriedly shared his analysis with the queen.

"Are you confused after eating cakes?" Empress Zhang ruthlessly scolded the current Holy Majesty.

Mu Qingtian was forced by Yao Jingdao to appreciate a bunch of antique calligraphy and paintings, and was forced to stay in the county government office for more than ten days.

Zhang Fu didn't know how Mu Qingtian got Yao Jingdao's blue eyes, and he went in and out with him all day long, feeling extremely jealous, and was trying to find a way to embarrass Mu Qingtian, when he heard that he knew a lot of red gold from Mingli , suddenly thought of it.

He sent someone to send a letter to Nian Shun, asking him to take these people to Fu Shou Tang to sell red gold.If Fushoutang refuses to accept it, it will stay at the gate of Fushoutang.

Yaoqin asked from door to door, but no one was willing to hand over the peppers to the Lizheng Yamen for sale.Seeing that Nian Shun was about to take someone away, he quickly opened the second kit Mu Qingtian gave him.

[Don't chase after the setting sun. 】

Two days later, Fushoutang opened for business as usual, but it was crowded with people from Mingli.

"Boss, a group of people came outside, saying they want to sell red gold." The steward hurriedly ran to the backyard to report.

"Oh?" Wu Yaozu stood up, "Is it Mr. Mu's person, please hurry up."

Fu Shou Tang can sell more than 100 copies of la crayfish every day, and the red gold is used up quickly, waiting for Mu Qingtian to send the next batch.

The steward wondered: "They are from Zimingli, but they all said that it has nothing to do with Mr. Mu."

"Not someone sent by Mr. Mu? What's going on?"

"The one at the beginning seems to be the housekeeper of a big family in Zimingli." The steward explained, "Boss, should we buy it or not?"

Wu Yaozu thought for a moment, and said firmly, "I won't buy it. Since it has nothing to do with Mr. Mu, I won't buy it."

These people in Zimingli waited all morning, and they continued to dream of getting rich that they had been thinking about for half a month.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry, but the shop only accepts the red gold sent by Mu Lizheng. Why don't you ask Mu Lizheng again?" the manager said apologetically when he went out.

"Why don't you accept us!" Some people shouted.

The other smarter ones quietly pulled over the steward and asked, "How much does Master Mu sell?"

"Five cents a bucket." The steward replied, "Did you all come here from Muli?"

"No, no." They waved their hands in disgust, for fear of getting involved with Mu Qingtian.

Every family has their own small calculations, but without exception, they all point to red gold to make a lot of money.They knew that this red gold was only available in Zimingli, so the lion opened his mouth. The price varies from company to company, but the minimum price is not lower than one tael of silver per bucket.

Some people, according to Nian Shun's orders, began to spoil at the entrance of Fushou Hall.There are still some good faces, and those who don't want to make a fool of themselves quietly went to other restaurants in Chongming County to ask if they wanted to accept red gold.

Penglailou gave all the bosses a stick, even if they had red gold, they couldn't make spicy lagu.Instead of spending more money to buy red gold, it is better to do the previous business honestly.

After asking around, until Sishi, there were several carts of red gold, but none of them were sold.

The matter soon spread to the county government. Yao Jingdao heard that the troublemaker was from Zimingli, so he immediately became interested and insisted on taking Mu Qingtian to mediate.They said it was mediation, but in essence they just wanted to see Mu Qingtian's jokes.

Fu Shou Tang was so noisy that it couldn't do business, because the person who caused the trouble was from Zimingli, so it endured until now.The steward was about to report to the police when he saw Yao Jingdao's frame and hurried up to meet him.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Qingtian got off the carriage behind.

"Who is making noise here?" Yao Jingdao raised his posture and walked over.

People from Zimingli dared to rush to Mu Qingtian's door, but they didn't dare to disrespect the county magistrate of Chongming County, and knelt down one after another.

After listening to the steward explain the ins and outs of the matter, Yao Jingdao looked at the carts of red gold and felt itchy in his heart.

"I am aware of the agreement between Fushoutang and Mu Lizheng. You don't believe in your own Lizheng, but you are causing trouble in Fushoutang!"

The people who were acting like rascals just now turned off their fire in an instant, and kowtowed to Yao Jingdao continuously, begging for mercy.

"Mu Lizheng, what do you think should be done?" Yao Jingdao turned around and asked.

Mu Qingtian had already guessed that this group of people would come to grab the seeds, and also guessed that they would secretly bring red gold to sell.In order to prevent someone from deliberately selling chili peppers at a low price or raising the price, he deliberately limited the supply sources and prices, and Fu Shoutang did not disappoint him.

He is not the Virgin, poor people must have something to hate.Kneeling and begging for mercy now, it was definitely not the same posture when he rushed to the door.With both kindness and strength, he can gain a foothold in Zimingli.

"Simple." Mu Qingtian clapped his hands, "Isn't this official right here, you give me the red gold, and I'll sell it to Fushoutang."

"Not bad." Yao Jingdao nodded, ignoring Mu Qingtian's strange claim.

As soon as they heard that it could be sold, the common people flocked to it, quoting their own prices in a hurry.Some people feel that they have lost money after hearing other people's quotations, so they change their minds and quote higher prices.

"The official said, did you let you set the price yourself?" Mu Qingtian lowered his face, "Ten coins for a fight, if you are willing to sell it."

No one came forward.Ten pennies a bucket is too low, only a fool would sell it!

"Why, you were fighting for it just now, but now that there is no one fighting, why don't you seize the opportunity to come here?" Mu Qingtian smiled wickedly.

Yao Jingdao didn't make a sound to stop him, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Mu Qingtian did, and he even admired his wrist.

"You, don't try to scare us!" A person stood up and said, "I just asked, and Fu Shou Tang said it was five dollars a bucket!"

"that is!"

Mu Qingtian looked at the person who was speaking, and said unhurriedly: "Five cents a bucket is the price at which I collect your red gold and sell it to Fushoutang."

"You admitted it!" the man yelled, very aggrieved.

"Keep your eyes wide open and take a good look at it. Now this official is buying your red gold, and it will be as much as the official says!"

One word awakened the dreamer, and the steward who was still a little excited about Hong Jinzi also understood.

If Mu Qingtian didn't buy it, their red gold wouldn't be sold at all, let alone ten coins for a bucket.If Fu Shoutang was greedy and bought these red golds over Mu Qingtian, judging from the situation just now, the price of this red gold will only get higher and higher in the long run.

What came out of half a month of hard work was only worth ten cents, and no one could accept it.But if you don't accept it, you won't even have ten words.

"I'll sell it!" The first person stood up, gritted his teeth and handed over a basket of red gold to Mu Qingtian.

Not long after, Mu Qingtian bought almost a stone of pepper.Some people were not reconciled, and were unwilling to bow their heads to Mu Qingtian, and they went back and forth carrying peppers.

"Steward, please check the weight." Mu Qingtian smiled kindly, "The price is still the same as before."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

After receiving the money from Fu Shou Tang, Mu Qingtian made almost a net profit of five taels.This is not a small sum. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to fall into the tongue.

"Lord county magistrate." Mu Qingtian turned around and said respectfully: "I can solve this matter so quickly, all thanks to your majesty. Mu Qingtian is very grateful, and would like to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. My lord is sympathetic to the people, loves them like a son, maybe I can divide the money Return it to the farmers in Zimingli?" He said, taking out five taels of silver bills and presenting them to Yao Jingdao.

There is no reason to give away the money you get.Yao Jingdao cleared his throat, and said: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, they are more than greedy, and they are all self-inflicted."

"With so much red gold, why don't you take advantage of Mu Lizheng's light and hold a 'Lagu banquet'? What do you think?"

Before Mu Qingtian refused, the matter of Laguxi was settled.Mu Qingtian didn't want to go to the Hongmen banquet, but if the price was the five taels of silver and the notoriety of "treating the people harshly", he could only go to the banquet.

Yao Jingdao admired Mu Qingtian more and more, and wanted to pull him to his side.But Mu Qingtian doesn't love money, he doesn't like calligraphy and painting, how can he seduce him?

"My lord, you don't come to my slave's house these days~" The concubine smiled and pushed Yao Jingdao.

"Isn't the master here?" Yao Jingdao smirked and pulled the bed curtain.

Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauties, and if they don't love gold and silver, then use beauties.

The author has something to say: Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was benevolent, Mou Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei at that time, and Luo Xiang and Yang Peng, the actual managers of the East Factory, were all just acting in accordance with their duties.The text of the token is extracted from Baidu pictures and search articles of "Yu Ma Jian Driving License".

Autopsy is my nonsense, I'm not good at forensic science orz

This chapter speeds up time and is not realistic.Because the travel time in ancient times is too long, if it is really written like this, even Mu Mu's ashes will be thrown away, and even Xiao Zhu will not be able to come back.

small theater:

Master Mu has become a celebrity in front of the emperor, and there are countless people rushing to curry favor with him.It's fine to give away gold and silver calligraphy and paintings, but there are still maids!

"My lord, Prince Qing's Mansion has sent someone!"

Mu Qingtian's claws stretched towards the pastry suddenly stopped.

"What are the people from the palace doing here?"

"I said I gave you my own maid..."

Mu Qingtian summoned this servant girl, and looked at her burly figure, muscular chest muscles, biceps, and a thin waist.

Zhu Jingshou: My lord, I am here to serve you.
