More and more people gathered at the entrance of Yixin Pastry Shop. In the end, the entire entrance of the East Market was filled with people.
Even the entrance of Zhang Shan's mansion was blocked. It was the same at the back door as well.
At that moment, Zhang Shan, his wife, and Zhang Yuyao felt like they were sitting on pins and needles. They kept pacing back and forth in the living room.
"Master, it's not good. A few other officials are here!"
At that moment, Zhang Shan's butler rushed in in a panic. His shout gave Zhang Shan a fright. The others were not afraid, but the officials were here …
Zhang Shan hurriedly asked, "Who's that? What's his position? "
"Old Master, I heard that he's from the Ministry of War. Judging from his uniform, he seems to be a fifth-rank official. He's wearing green!" The people from the Ministry of Agriculture, Taichang Temple, and the Ministry of Appointments are here! "
"What?"
Zhang Shan was so scared that his body went limp and he sat on the ground.
"Oh my god, what's going on? What are they doing here at this time? "
Zhang Shan's wife also panicked.
Zhang Yuyao was so anxious that her face turned pale.
If it were anyone else, he could think of a way to deal with them. However, the officials were here. At this time …
At that moment, another person hurried in. As soon as he entered the door, he said hurriedly, "Bad news, Old Master. Someone else is here! He said that he's your benefactor! "
"There's also someone who claims to be your distant uncle …"
When Zhang Shan heard that, his head could not help but explode.
This matter definitely had something to do with the land he bought yesterday!
Otherwise, why would those distant uncles suddenly come knocking on his door?
One had to know that even when he was begging on the streets, that person still slandered him, saying that he had nothing to do with him. He even got someone to beat him up.
On the streets!
As for this benefactor …
When Zhang Shan went up the mountain, he suddenly had a vague feeling that he might be the old shopkeeper's younger brother.
Back then, he thought that being a pastry chef had no future, so he went to Luozhou City to develop his career. He heard that he was doing well there. Recently, he returned to Chang 'an City. It was said that he was dealing in porcelain and silk. Why would he come to the mountain gate at this time?
This time …
Zhang Shan could not sit still anymore.
He hurriedly ordered, "Butler, have you gone to the mountain to inform them?"
"I've already sent someone over, but … it's probably too late!"
When Zhang Shan heard that, he slapped his head and said, "Let's go to Chang 'an University and invite them over!"
Although there was no one at Chang 'an University these days, the people at the gate of the College were all Zhang Feng's subordinates. Naturally, they knew about their relationship. Zhang Feng felt a little more confident when he called them over.
It was not far from Chang 'an University.
The housekeeper found a clever person to climb over the wall and run to Chang 'an University to get help. Zhang Shan hurriedly asked the housekeeper to keep the people outside under control. He silently calculated the distance from Chang' an University to here. Then, he slowly put away the impatience on his face and walked out of the room.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, the clamor that filled the sky made his eardrums hurt.
The butler stood at the door, sweating profusely.
When Zhang Shan arrived, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
"Master Zhang is here!"
"Master Zhang, please come out and be the judge. Why is this guy blocking our way?"
Zhang Shan looked over and saw a pot-bellied official in a green official uniform standing next to the person who was shouting the loudest.
When Zhang Shan looked at him, the man also looked at Zhang Shan. Then, he cupped his fists in surprise and said, "Ah, ah, ah, you can be Master Zhang Shan. I'm not talented, so I'll be working in the Ministry of Personnel."
When Zhang Shan saw this, he also cupped his fists and said, "So it's you, Master Zhang. May I know what brings you here?"
Before he could finish, the other officials also came forward to greet him. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a purple robe, with a pair of triangular eyes, an aquiline nose, and a bean-sized mole at the corner of his mouth, coughed and said, "Zhang Shan, I haven't seen you for many years. You've become more capable!"
"Shanzi, I'm your uncle. Now that you've become rich, don't you want to be married to your family?"
Their words instantly made their identities clear, causing the citizens who had wanted to seek help to shrink back in fear.
Zhang Shan smiled bitterly and cupped his fists to calm them down. Then he said, "Everyone, I know why you're here, but you all know about the Imperial List today. I don't dare to sell this land! If you want to buy it, you can go to the county government and get a certificate from the Ministry of Works. I'll definitely sell some to you. Even I can't do that now! "
"How can this be?"
"Old Master Zhang, of course we're not here for your fields. We're here to ask you if the phosphate fertilizer thing is true. We hope Old Master Zhang can tell us clearly!"
"That's right, Old Master Zhang. We all know how you are. Don't try to hide it at this time! Just tell us if the phosphate fertilizer is real. Where can we get some? How about you ask your son-in-law to get some? "
Zhang Shan suddenly understood. He looked at the officials and the other two. They seemed to be very nervous at this moment. He smiled helplessly and said, "Everyone, I really don't know about this. Besides, although the marriage between my daughter and Prince Zhang Zhang Feng has been settled, it's better not to talk about it. It's a secret of the Academy. How can I get involved?"
"But I can promise you one thing. I've already sent people to the mountain. If there's any news, I'll tell you immediately. How about it?"
Zhang Shan didn't care whether they believed it or not. He ignored them.
He hurriedly bowed to the officials and said, "Everyone, please come in!"
