The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1174

[1174.Chapter 1120 I will die.]

In fact, only two hours after the express arrived, the ministers, eunuchs, and guards had already arrived in large numbers.

They are anxious.

His Majesty was nowhere to be seen, just like there was no sun in the sky.

Therefore, a group of people were exhausted, almost working day and night… to get here.

The reason…is to welcome the saint.

Liang Min greeted the officials outside the city.

Among this vast crowd, there are many well-known figures, including Liang Min’s idol.

Liang Min hurriedly stepped forward, but only looked at Ouyang Zhi and saluted: “I have met Mr. Ouyang.”

I remember that when Ouyang Zhi went to Dingxing County to be the county magistrate, Liang Min was just a small prison boy. Official, and now, because of the relationship with the prince, he is now ranked seventh rank.

For those Jinshi officials, the rank of Qipin County Magistrate is just the starting point in their official career.

But for Liang Min, even if he spends his whole life, he will never be able to reach a height. It is nothing short of a miracle that he is here today, and the creator of the miracle is Ouyang Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi was silent.

Too old.

But the ministers around Ouyang Zhi were much more anxious than Ouyang Zhi, who was about to collapse but his expression remained unchanged.

Wu Kuan wanted to find the emperor and ask the emperor to make the decision for him. He didn’t clean the blood on his face at all. He just wanted to show the emperor what his humerus minister looked like after being beaten by Ouyang Zhi. Ouyang Zhi was so good. The days are coming to an end.

He glanced at Liang Min contemptuously.

It is said that this person is not even a scholar. How can such a person be an official?

Tongzhou is in the New Deal, and your Baoding Prefecture is also in Xincheng. But take a look at the New Deal in Rongcheng County and how it has been implemented. Roads are being built everywhere. These roads are the product of collusion between government and businessmen. There are so many people in ragged clothes, all busy on the road under the scorching sun, look at them…

This villain who has never been named on the gold list and has no fame cannot be an official. What is the use of the common people if he abuses the people like this? ?

Although Wu Kuan treated Liang Min like a fly and wished he could stay away from him to avoid being insulted by this vulgar person, he still asked eagerly: “Where is that workshop?”

Liang Min frowned and said nothing.

He could feel that he was surrounded by a group of people in high positions in the temple. Many people cast strange looks at him, which was a kind of contempt from the bottom of their bones.

Therefore, he subconsciously looked at Ouyang Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi said calmly: “Lead the way!”

“Yes.” Liang Min cheered up.

Leading the vast crowd, he did not ride in a car, but directly rode a horse.

On the contrary, other people got into the car one after another.

Liang Min’s riding skills are good, of course…this is also achieved through practice.

Rongcheng County is full of waste, and ordinary officials are often in the yamen. But Liang Min, who was born as a subordinate official, is different. After studying with Ouyang Zhi, he knows that the new policy requires walking around, investigating and understanding the actual situation. Different situations, different things should be dealt with differently. There are too many new things. If you lock yourself in the yamen for a month, you may be out of date.

Therefore, he has to move around. Today he is in a certain village, tomorrow he is in a certain market, and the day after tomorrow he may go to talk to businessmen or inspect a certain project.

Many roads here have not been completely repaired. Sometimes it rains and the roads are muddy. It is better to ride a car than to ride a horse. When all the roads are repaired, maybe the conditions will be better.

…………

It’s noon and dinner is ready.

Fang Jifan was very active, holding his rice bowl and excitedly being the first to show up at Lao Chen in the kitchen.

Old Chen was cheerful. He liked this young man. After all, chefs like diners, especially such active diners. This would give Old Chen the illusion that he was the royal chef in the palace.

How did he know that Fang Jifan just loved to eat.

“Xiao Fang, you are unwell again. Young man, please pay attention to your health. Come on, I’ll give you some more.”

By the time the others arrived, Fang Jifan had already brought a bowl full of food.

Then he squatted in the corner, waiting for Wang Shouren to bring the food. Wang Shouren squatted next to Fang Jifan, and then rummaged through his own food. Finally, he found a few shredded pork, and then threw it into Fang Jifan’s rice bowl. My son respected me. , No, it is natural for a disciple to respect his teacher. Fang Jifan stuffed the shredded meat into his mouth without hesitation.

Then, he couldn’t help but sigh, Invincible… is really lonely.

The other craftsmen began to feast, and everyone enjoyed the meal.

Zhao Shiqian came in with a sullen face and looked around: “Where is Mr. Zhu?”

Everyone realized that Mr. Zhu… was not here.

A craftsman said: “Mr. Zhu said that he still has a few pieces of wood that he has not sawed yet. He will come later.”

“Why did he go to saw the wood?” Zhao Shiqian was about to stamp his feet: “He is a scholar and settles accounts. “

Someone said: “Mr. Zhu said that the order was urgent, and Xiao Fang was sick again.”

Everyone subconsciously looked at Fang Jifan in the corner.

Fang Jifan was enjoying the meal, sweat was pouring on his forehead, and he nodded vigorously: “Yes, I’m sick, my head is dizzy, oh, I’ll take medicine first, no, eat.”

Lowering his head…

Zhao Shiqian: “…”

He had nothing to say to this Fang Fangfang, he was used to it.

Wang Shouren looked at everyone’s gaze and blushed with embarrassment. Although he was stern, he still had a face. Everyone stared at their mentor, as if he had been stripped clean and was being watched.

Zhao Shiqian muttered, wanting to say something.

Suddenly, the concierge from outside hurried in: “It’s not good, it’s not good, there are many officers and soldiers coming…”

Everyone was shocked.

Fang Jifan looked… very relaxed.

These losers finally came to visit me. I didn’t want to stay in this damn workshop for a day. It was so hard.

Zhao Shiqian was startled: “What are the officers, soldiers and servants here for?”

“I saw what seemed to be our County Magistrate Liang… riding a horse…”

“It’s not good.” Zhao Shiqian heard The word “county magistrate” made me shudder: “He must be here for security inspection. Since the last time, Zeng Ji’s workshop caught fire and burned people to death, the county has issued repeated orders to prepare a large water tank next to the warehouse. It needs to be filled with water, and there are flammable goods piled up. It needs to be separated from the craftsman’s bedroom. Come on, eat whatever you want. Stop eating. Go and store water in the water tank…”

All of a sudden, the whole workshop was in chaos. group.

Zhao Shiqian felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The government’s punishment for the safety prevention of the workshop was extremely severe, and the county magistrate came to inspect it in person…

“It’s too late…” As soon as the concierge finished speaking, there were already crowds of people outside the workshop. Suddenly, countless guards in fish uniforms came in with swords, all filled with murderous intent. In a moment, the influx of sergeants filled the entire courtyard.

Zhao Shiqian and others had never seen such a large battle before.

Zhao Shiqian was still holding an empty bucket in his hand. Suddenly, his hand lost strength and the bucket in his hand fell to the ground. He… was so frightened that he peed…

A moment later, a large number of officials came in.

Liang Min, the magistrate of Rongcheng County, was the last to fall.

The leader was Wang Ao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Looking at the place full of mud, sewage flowing across the river, and the smell of kitchen waste wafting from the distance, it was disgusting.

Wang Ao had an angry look on his face: “Which one is Zhao Shiqian…”

Zhao Shiqian was so frightened that he was trembling all over: “I…I…no, the villain…it’s the villain…”

His two legs trembled.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a sonorous sound, and two bright Xiuchun knives were placed on his neck.

In an instant, Zhao Shiqian felt as if his whole body had been hollowed out, and he collapsed on the ground.

Wang Ao said sternly: “Where is the emperor?”

“The emperor… the emperor… the emperor is gone, isn’t he?”

Everyone’s expressions changed.

The emperor is gone.

This is simply nonsense. This is a crime of slandering your Majesty and annihilating three clans!

Wu Kuan looked at these merchants and felt disgusted. He said sternly: “You are so brave. You dare to act so boldly when you are about to die.”

“Come here!”

Zhao Shiqian was completely confused.

He couldn’t imagine that he would provoke a group of such cruel people.

Not waiting for him to speak.

In that workshop, a voice suddenly said: “Enough!”

This voice… was very familiar.

Then, everyone saw that there seemed to be a few familiar people in the crowd.

Fang Jifan… Wang Shouren…

Fang Jifan smiled at Wang Ao and others.

Wang Ao and others snorted coldly and ignored him.

Why is Your Majesty missing and causing such a big trouble? You, Fang Jifan, are also to blame. Who wants to laugh with you? You are a shameless person.

But… the people in the workshop… suddenly… made everyone fearful.

“You…what are you doing?” The sound of sawing wood came from the workshop, and the voice sounded a bit tired, but also a bit stern: “No one is waiting, exit the workshop, Don’t get in the way!”

After hearing this, the guards no longer hesitated. They were well-trained and immediately retreated like a tide.

Wang Ao and others didn’t dare to hesitate. They all moved toward the source of the sound and fell down without hesitation.

“I welcome you, long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!”

The ground was very dirty, but at this moment, no one could care about it.

Whether in the courtyard of the workshop or outside the workshop, these hundreds or even thousands of people all bowed down one after another and kowtowed to the ground: “I’m late, I hope your majesty will forgive me! I… I will die!”

After this wave of sound, then… the workshop fell into a deathly silence.

Zhao Shiqian, who was sitting paralyzed in the mud, was instantly stunned.

Greetings, long live our emperor…

In the workshop… he remembered only one person… that was… Mr. Zhu…

Zhu Dashou… he… he was the emperor…

Zhao Shiqian suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted. He… went to the emperor to settle accounts, and… he was only given five taels of silver per month as wages, which was two taels less than the market price outside… It’s over!

Chapter 3, and more. At the same time, I found the activity of writing letters to the characters in the book very interesting. Many readers have very good writing skills. You can read them in the book review area.
