Zheng Yijin glared, and as soon as he raised his hand, he drank all the wine in the bowl, slammed the bowl on the table, and looked at Wu Zheng.

The other people also had bad faces, drank the wine in one gulp, and looked at Wu Zheng.

Only Xu Lao Er held the bowl and smiled: "Xiao Lang is afraid that he is from a rich background...... Don't drink it. ”

Wu Zheng raised his hand and gently slashed the hands of Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai, and smiled at the two: "It's okay, follow the customs." ”

After speaking, he picked up the bowl and took a sip.

That Xu Laosan watched Wu Zheng drinking from a distance, and his face changed slightly.

What do you think, this mouthful almost made Wu Zheng spit out, which is wine, it is clearly vinegar, and it is so sour that it makes people lose their teeth.

At this time, Wu Zheng really rose into anger, and shouted with a calm face: "Shopkeeper, is this also called wine you sell?" ”

Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai slowly tasted it suspiciously, and suddenly got up with a "pout" and pressed their hands to their waists.

Xu Laosan's eyes flickered, he slowly stepped forward and said calmly: "In the countryside, it's good to have something to drink." If the guest officer wants to drink well, he can go to Chang'an Avenue. ”

Zheng Yijin and others also persuaded: "Xiao Lang Mo is angry, this is not to blame Xu Laosan, the officers and soldiers are on the periphery, and the goods can't be transported in...... Fortunately, it's always wine, and drinking it won't hurt your stomach, so it's just that. ”

At this time, the second baby was holding two plates of snacks, Wu Zheng glanced at it, daring to be affectionate, Zheng Yijin didn't tell a lie, a plate of fried beans, the kind of dry fried without oil, and a dish of boiled beans in salt water.

Wu Zheng couldn't cry or laugh at this time, and slowly sat down.

Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai slowly sat down.

Zheng Yijin said with a smile: "Xiaolang came at the wrong time, if it was earlier, this wine would not be sour, and the fresh fish from Xuanwu Lake, I would have to make a meal of vinegar fish, steamed fish, fried fish ...... for Xiaolang." ”

As he spoke, Zheng Yijin swallowed his saliva.

Xu Lao Er greeted on the side: "Come, come, eat, eat, eat." ”

Wu Zheng really couldn't drink this wine, so he grabbed a handful of fried beans and gave them to Yue Xiaolin and Lu Jincai, which was regarded as accompanying them.

At this time, Liu Laosan, the shopkeeper on the side, suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency is an official, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the action stopped.

Wu Zheng was indeed taken aback, looked at Liu Laosan, and asked with a smile, "How did you see it?" ”

After a period of silence, Zheng Yijin took the lead in jumping up, glared at Wu Zheng and said, "You are here to spy on the news, right?" ”

Xu Lao Er and the others also had hostility in their eyes.

Liu Laosan took two steps forward, approached Wu Zheng, and said: "The forbidden army outside is surrounded like an iron bucket, and it is impossible for one person to come in, but the three of you just come in like this, it is enough to show that you are an official." ”

Wu Zheng still smiled and asked: "But it can also be explained that I came here to look for relatives, bought off the officers and soldiers with silver, and then came in generously." ”

Liu Laosan said: "So I didn't wear it immediately, I just doubted it." But when these two people got up, they pressed to their waists, obviously carrying knives, right? You will say that they are just retinues, but the officers and soldiers may let you in for the silver, but they will not let the people with knives in on the cusp of the storm for the silver, right? ”

Wu Zheng laughed and said: "The shopkeeper has good eyesight, I am indeed an official, and this official gives Wu Yue in the matter, this is the imperial court's writing." ”

As he spoke, he slapped a document that had fooled hundreds of households in the forbidden army on the table.

Zheng Yijin picked up the text, rummaged it up and down twice, and handed it to Liu Laosan.

Dare to love, he doesn't know words.

Liu Laosan took it, looked at it, handed it back to Wu Zheng, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Lord Wu, but I don't know why Lord Wu is dressed up in disguise, so why did he come to Fish Market Street?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "On the orders of the imperial court, I came to appease the people. ”

"To appease the people, you don't need to hide your head and tail, right?"

"Then you think that this official is here to disadvantage the people? This official is only these three people on this trip, even if he wants to be detrimental to the people, he can't do it, right? ”

This made sense, which made Zheng Yijin and the others' faces soften slightly.

Liu Laosan suddenly asked: "Listening to the accent of the adult, it should be from Shaoxing Mansion, right?" ”

"Yes, you guessed it right."

"Your surname is Wu, does it have anything to do with the king of Huiji County?"

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I and the prince are fellow villagers, and the two families are less than two miles apart. ”

"So, can you get in touch with the king of Huiji?"

"Of course, this time I entered Beijing, I came as the entourage of the prince, and after the imperial court asked the prince to temporarily prime minister the government, the prince appointed me to deal with the affairs of the people of Beimen Bridge."

"What to do?"

"Reasonable, unreasonable, unreasonable, illegal arrest, debt repayment!"

These sixteen words are easy to understand, and they are really the most reasonable in the world.

Liu Laosan was in high spirits and became excited for the first time, "What the adults said is true? ”

"Seriously!" Wu Zheng replied heavily.

Liu Laosan suddenly knelt down in front of Wu Zheng, bowed and said: "The student has been wronged, and he wants to be the first to defraud the people, fish and flesh the people, and force people to die, please uphold justice!" ”

This scene was too unexpected for Wu Zheng, and after being stunned for a while, Wu Zheng stretched out his hand and said, "Are you a student?" ”

At this time, Xiucai is famous, and ordinary people dare not call themselves "students".

Liu Laosan refused to get up, he said with a blank face: "Student Liu Yuan, a student of Chongzhen for sixteen years. ”

"You get up first, sit down and say it well, there is really a grievance, and this official will be the master of others." Wu Zheng frowned, and made some effort in his hands.

If it is ordinary, Wu Zheng doesn't like to take care of this kind of thing, there is no absolute fairness in this world, if you really want to take care of everything in the world, even if you are incarnated as tens of millions, I am afraid that you will not be able to be busy.

In order to cure the root cause, it is necessary to re-establish effective and feasible systems and laws.

But at this time, Wu Zheng had already come for the chaos of the people, and Zheng Yijin and others were so "warmly" entertained, Wu Zheng was also willing to hear what grievances Liu Yuan had.

Liu Yuan is obviously not as rough and powerful as Zheng Sanjin and others, as he himself said, he is just a scholar who has no hands to tie his chicken, and he couldn't resist it because of Wu Zheng's efforts, so he got up and sat down and spoke slowly.

However, his face was still blank, and there was no excitement or anger at all, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

Liu Yuan's family was originally in the Sanshanmen area of Xicheng, and his family background was also surplus.

The three sons of the Liu family, the two brothers died early, only Liu Yuan has a son, there is a yard of about two acres, an ancestral house, 20 acres of paddy fields (Jiangnan paddy fields are real estate), and there are two shops, operating some daily department stores and sundries, and living a peaceful life.

Two years ago, the household department opened a money bank to attract depositors with a high interest rate of 20% (monthly interest).

Liu Yuan's father took the savings of about 250 taels of silver from the family and deposited it, and he could withdraw 5 taels of interest every month.

Five taels is not a small amount, the Beijing army's salary in January was originally only one tael, and it was later compared by Wu Zheng's Northern Expeditionary Army, and it was increased to two taels (but the soldier got it, at most, it was only one tael or three cents), that is to say, this interest can be worth nearly three adult laborers.
