Chapter 332: Straight to the Yellow Dragon
"My lord, Dr. Zhang's trick is really good! He actually uses stamping on people's hands to identify the recipients of rewards!"
Half a street away from the county government office and just overlooking the three-story wine shop on the front street of the county government office, Zhu Tingfang saw the people who were inciting the trouble were pushed forward one by one. The initially noisy and troublesome atmosphere turned into the joy and excitement of receiving the reward.
, and heard that Zhang Shou personally commended everyone for their bravery in capturing the thief, and asked them to wait in the front street for a while, and the reward would arrive shortly. He couldn't help but nodded in approval.
When the news of the fire at the city gate came, he immediately sent out his men and rushed there. However, he split into two groups on the way. One group went to check the fire scene, and he only brought two guards to touch it back. They were still in a certain street.
He found two sneaky lookouts. From this, he judged that the people behind the scenes should have hired more people to look out, so he went around in a circle and quietly entered the wine shop.
But he saw Zhang Shou and his entourage's carriage coming back from the palace from a distance. It should have caught the eye of the watchman, but he found that the troublemaking crowd still hadn't dispersed, which made him feel a little strange. But then think about Zhang Shou's situation
He has achieved great fame in less than a year, but in the eyes of the eldest prince and others, he may still be regarded as a weak young man who just got lucky.
Furthermore, people may think that Zhang Shou is not him. He has never led troops and has never dealt with the chaotic people head-on. Even if there is a master like Ah Liu, he can't punish the crowd, and he may not be able to catch the instigators hiding in the crowd. But
These people never expected that such a shameless old man would appear and break the situation, and then Zhang Shou would use an extremely rogue trick!
Zhu Tingfang rubbed the scar on his face and laughed: "Zhang Shou's response is indeed good. With such a big reward for capturing the thief, it seems that I won't need to take action myself!"
The guard who just spoke and the other guard looked at each other and said flatteringly: "Eldest Young Master, you are worrying too much. The future husband that the eldest lady likes is handsome and extraordinary. How could he be like these nine people in the market?"
Is this possible?"
"You're wrong. This has nothing to do with being handsome and extraordinary. To be honest, it's because Zhang Shou comes from a folk background and can get along with ordinary people without any pretense, so he can use them like an arm.
Means. If that old guy hadn’t jumped out and disturbed the atmosphere just now, do you think that the bounty offered by Zhang Shou would have really impressed everyone?"
At this point, Zhu Tingfang turned around and saw the guard smiling awkwardly, as if he was embarrassed by flattering the horse's feet. He said with a half-smile, "I transferred you to me because of you."
Being able to fight and work hard is not because you know how to flatter me, so don’t learn from these things in the future! Although I am not as good at winning people as Zhang Shou, but with you here, are you still worried that there won’t be enough people for me?"
Among his soldiers, there were very few generals from the Duke of Zhao's palace in the past, because when he was kicked out by his father to lead the army, there were only two generals around him. Now many of these soldiers are former
His subordinates had been captured with him, and they had shared the joys and sorrows to escape from a certain death situation, and they all knew each other's ins and outs.
When he said this, the guard immediately touched his nose and said nonchalantly: "That guy Lao Xi taught me this. I thought he was always good at talking, so I wanted to learn how to flatter people from him, but I didn't expect
The first time I tried it with the eldest son, I was rejected!"
"There are so many of you who came to Cangzhou with me, but I only picked him to inquire about the situation. Do you think it's because he is more flattering and good at talking? What I want to use this time is his way of talking to people.
He has the ability to tell lies after seeing ghosts. His glib tongue was honed among the people. When it comes to maneuvering and playing tricks on people, no one can compare with him."
"You are asked to talk nonsense and play tricks on others? Can you do it?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Tingfang couldn't help but blush when he saw the two of them. He said calmly: "I would have sent people to guard the six mansions that were colluding with the eldest prince. If they all stayed at home peacefully, then
Of course it would be best. And it would be better if all the people around the eldest prince were captured by Xian Yunhe and others in one fell swoop, without any omissions. But what if there are fish that slip through the net?"
"What's more, Xu Cheng has been operating in Cangzhou for so long. Even though I captured him in one fell swoop, as long as there are still members of the gang who are on the run trying to fan the flames and make trouble, it will be impossible to guard against it."
Two guards, look at each other. The guard who flattered me just now was about to say a word or two of flattery, but when the words came to his lips, he learned the lesson just now and could only laugh dryly and said: "Lao Xi is really good at bragging.
But it is too risky for him to do such a big thing by himself. The eldest son should have sent one or two more people to help him."
For example, I am definitely better than that boastful guy!
Zhu Tingfang immediately laughed: "He came forward and said that being alone is enough. He said that some people think they can do it without being noticed, but they don't know that they can't hide it from the villains and gangsters who make a living in the market.
Beggars are the boss...because any disturbance may endanger the living environment, so these people have always been the best at observing unusual movements."
"He also said that in many unsolved mysteries, once the iron-faced boss is encountered, all the ordinary people in the city will be arrested and imprisoned, tortured and interrogated, and the carrots will be brought out and the mud will be brought out, and the results will be found one after another.
Because these people in the market know best how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and don’t speak out when they see or hear... Anyway, it doesn’t matter if there is one more person or one less person around me, so I let him go and give it a try."
Having said this, Zhu Tingfang put the tea cup on the table and said with a half-smile: "I just hope he can drill a hole for me in the net of Jingjiuliu in Cangzhou City. That would be a good achievement."
, I didn’t expect that when the head of the Jiang family made a fuss before, he found clues, and this time he got the news early that someone was coming to make trouble!"
The two guards' eyes widened immediately, and they were both overjoyed: "So, the eldest son wants to take advantage of others to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and we will go straight to Huanglong?"
"Yes, go straight to Huanglong!" Zhu Tingfang laughed and said meaningfully, "Let's go, there is no need to worry about the county government, just leave everything to Zhang Shou!"
At the gate of the county government office, Zhang Shou stood at the gate to comfort everyone because the bounty had not yet been paid, and he was worried about being thought to have broken his promise.
He was originally handsome and elegant, with outstanding demeanor, but now he adopts an approachable attitude and talks to the locals in Cangzhou in front of him in a calming tone. Even those who can't talk to him can't help but feel that this is so.
The imperial envoy sent by the imperial court was gentle and approachable.
Zhang Shou certainly knows that in order to maintain a sense of mystery these days, officials need to keep a distance from the common people... The problem is that Zhu Tingfang has already made it clear that he is a person who should not be approached by strangers. He is such a young man who is only seventeen years old.
, it’s not like the future Magistrate of Changlu County in Cangzhou, if he tries to show off his mysterious, thunderous and powerful authority, he is simply digging a hole for himself.
Moreover, at this moment, the old salted fish on the other side was boasting to others about how profound his knowledge as a doctor of the Imperial Academy was, how simple he was in the heart of the emperor, how humble and quiet he was, how he taught the dandy... Anyway, he was boasting to himself.
He no longer recognizes himself. But because of this, he has gained more and more respect from all directions.
And among these respectful and loving gazes, some people couldn't help but shout out: "Then according to what you said, isn't Dr. Zhang just like Mr. Xu?"
Zhang Shou had already discovered last night that in Cangzhou, those big families with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of wealth are famous, but they are just relying on their wealth and arrogance. To be truly respected and loved, they still have to count the founder of the righteous school.
Xu Weng teaches students without charging tuition. Therefore, Zhu Ying was certainly proud last night, but after Zhu Tingfang walked away from them, she went to comfort Xu Weng again the next night.
It can be said that one of the brothers and sisters has a bad face and the other a white face - but the one who plays the bad side is the beautiful young lady, and the one who plays the bad side is the murderous eldest son. It really makes people don't know what to say...
Zhang Shou himself was not able to answer such questioning questions from the crowd, but Lao Xianyu had his own way.
He dragged Zhu Er in front of him and said with a smile: "Dr. Zhang is the future son-in-law of Zhao Guogong who just returned from the north! This is the second son-in-law of Zhao Guogong's family, and now the imperial envoy General Mingwei
His biological brother."
The old man didn't care about Zhu Er's confused expression, his saliva was flying everywhere.
"He used to be a famous dandy in the capital, but since Dr. Zhang came to the Imperial College and took charge of Banshan Hall and Jiuzhang Hall, he, who used to skip classes every day, was taken to Banshan Hall by his family to attend classes in less than half a year.
He became the acting head of the restaurant, and not only did he improve academically, but he also became a man of great integrity..."
Zhu Er was so angry at Old Xianyu's previous comments that he almost died. When Old Xianyu started praising him, he couldn't help but show off his breasts and bulge. He could hear Old Xianyu's so-called righteous words.
It was because he couldn't stand the eldest prince's misbehavior, so he sneaked into the palace regardless of the danger, and then added a lot of false deeds to him, which made him feel numb.
Just when he was afraid that Old Xianyu would go along with what he said and spit out what he said to persuade the eldest prince on how to reverse the predicament, he did not expect that Old Xianyu pointed at him directly and said: "The most important thing is that during this trip of the Second Young Master Zhu,
The purpose is to check the farmland farming conditions near Cangzhou, for fear that those greedy guys will occupy the grain fields because of the huge profits from the cotton fields..."
Zhu Er wanted to point his finger at his nose - he came to Cangzhou with such a noble purpose? Why didn't he know?
And Zhang Shou didn't expect that just based on the bits and pieces of information he heard, Lao Xianyu actually pieced together a story that seemed to be the same. Most people who didn't know the inside story would probably just believe it! Although it was amazing, he
I already have some experience with Old Xianyu's mouth, so I can only distract myself at the moment, for fear that people will start talking nonsense.
Sure enough, after using Zhu Er to put gold on Zhang Shou's face and attracting people's admiration, as if they found that because the bounty was delayed, people's mood gradually changed, the old salted fish changed his words and suddenly said:
Let’s start talking about textile machinery.
"But Dr. Zhang's greatest strength is not teaching and educating people, so he turned his prodigal son back. He also has talents that no one else has. He drew the drawings of the new textile machine and asked others to make it! He originally thought of such a weapon that would double the efficiency.
It will definitely benefit the weavers and spinners all over the world, but I didn’t expect that the eldest prince volunteered to come to Cangzhou, but colluded with a few unscrupulous big households for his own selfish purposes..."
Even though Zhang Shou had always felt that he was actually very thick-skinned, he really couldn't hold it in anymore. He immediately stopped and said, "Okay, don't criticize these many things. As for the eldest prince, it will be decided by the emperor himself. Those families
General Mingwei will handle those who radically change good people. As for those spinners who were innocent victims, I will take responsibility and make proper arrangements."
"They lost their jobs, broke their homes, and were in trouble. In the final analysis, it was all caused by my inadequate estimation in advance! It's my fault."
Everyone was led by the old salted fish. After seeing Zhang Shou drink the old salted fish away, they confessed that they had to take responsibility and said that it was their own fault. Many of them were led by others and were really watching.
There were noisy people, but there were also those spinners, cotton farmers and their families who had been screened out after Zhu Tingfang arrived and had followed the Xianyun River to make noise.
Compared with the arrogant and domineering eldest prince, the greedy Changlu County Magistrate Xu Cheng, and those wealthy people who did everything possible, most people felt that the heartbroken and elegant young man in front of them was really wronged.
And Lao Xianyu even shouted at the right time: "Dr. Zhang didn't want to hide such a good thing to make a fortune for himself, but wanted to use it to benefit the world. However, it ended up in this situation. It's really a waste."
It’s a lot of hard work!”
Zhang Shou was very clear that this old and wrinkled salted fish was not arranged by him in advance, but even so, he had to secretly admire the old salted fish's speaking skills. As expected, there was no discussion beforehand, but they cooperated
Baptized by the flawless words, the crowd didn't know who was shouting.
"Dr. Zhang, you are great, I believe in you!"
Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment, and then when he followed the sound, he couldn't laugh or cry. The one who yelled... well, she was a girl!
However, the advantage of having someone taking the lead is that similar sounds can be heard everywhere in an instant. But the voices of women are often mixed in, and he can't help but sweat on his forehead. It wasn't until he finally raised his hand to quiet the crowd that he finally
He said loudly: "General Mingwei has made an agreement with Mr. Xu from Wendao School in Cangzhou to borrow some students from him."
"Starting from tomorrow, the Wen Dao School will send two students here every day to help you write petitions. As long as you have had grievances in the past, you can ask someone to write them and submit them. But there is one rule: you are not allowed to make false accusations or make false accusations. Violators will be punished.
Sitting. General Mingwei once destroyed the Beilu Firearms Camp during the Northern Expedition and gained a great reputation. He will never rub sand in his eyes!"
Zhang Shou deliberately promoted Zhu Tingfang's reputation, and when he found that the crowd finally showed some awe, he continued: "As for the things you just mentioned, General Mingwei will also investigate carefully and thoroughly.
The person who committed the crime will be punished as he should be. We will never tolerate it, but we will never wrongly accuse a good person!"
"As for the idea of spitting out all the exploitation, it is just fanning the flames. Please don't be fooled!"
Chapter completed!
