The middle-aged man slowly walked to the middle position,
He bowed slightly and cupped his hands. "Subordinate greets Master."
The fortune-teller nodded slightly.
The middle-aged man understood,
He walked to the first chair on the left and sat down.
"Master, you've worked hard. Did you happen to meet that person today? "
The fortune-teller glanced at him, put down his teacup and snorted coldly. "Someone should have reported what happened today to you, right? You still came to me to be an eyesore. Look at your character. If you want to laugh, laugh. Be careful not to get sick from holding it in. "
"Master must be joking." The middle-aged man gently waved the goose feather fan with one hand and stroked his beard with the other. "Master was called by those boorish men... such humiliating words,
This subordinate is very angry in his heart. "Although he said that..,
However, his eyebrows were curved.
It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
The fortune-teller rolled his eyes. For a person who liked to see him make a fool of himself..,
He naturally did not believe it.
Sooner or later, he would shave off that eyesore of yours..,
He secretly calculated in his heart.
He felt a trace of "malice"..,
The middle-aged man's smile deepened. "I wonder how master wants to deal with these people who speak nonsense?"
"I'm not the kind of person who takes revenge for personal reasons. As usual..,
Throw all these people into the Xishan mine to work as coolies. If they had the strength and time to bully the people..,
It would be better to work harder to serve the imperial court. When will the transformation be completed..,
When will they be released? "
Although they were called coolies, they were actually ordinary long-term workers who worked in the state-run mine. In addition to providing normal food and accommodation..,
They could also get a considerable salary every month. However, people like them..,
When they first went in, they might suffer a little because they were not obedient,
Secondly, the salary they received would not be distributed to them. Instead, it would be sent to their families to their parents, wives, and children. When their bad habits were eliminated and they would no longer harm the village, they would be allowed to choose whether to return to their hometown or continue to work here. Of course, there was a holiday at this time. They had to let the family reunite, right? Even if these people all chose to return to their hometowns, there was no need to worry about the lack of coolies in the mines. There was no lack of evil people in this world.
This was not the first time he had done something like this. The middle-aged man nodded in understanding. "Master is wise. This subordinate will send someone to investigate their family situation."
"While you're at it, show my token to the county magistrate here. The matter should be over soon, and I don't want to get involved in any unnecessary trouble before that. "
When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled faintly and said while twirling his beard, "Master, don't you want to go to that prison for a spin? This is a rare opportunity. "
"Take a spin?" The fortune-teller lifted his eyelids slightly and glanced at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Do you want me to send you in to experience it? From the imperial prison to the prison cells in this remote county, you can choose whichever one you want. "
The middle-aged man's expression was very calm, and he waved the goose feather fan steadily. "If that's the case, it's not bad. This subordinate can also take this opportunity to rest."
The fortune-teller's smile suddenly froze. He glared at him gloomily and didn't say anything else.
It was a good thing that his subordinates were too capable, especially someone like him who couldn't be bothered with such mundane matters. But if this person just shook his hand and didn't do it, then it would be a disaster for him.
When the middle-aged man saw his gloomy expression, he restrained himself and changed the topic. "When that county magistrate sees master's token, I reckon that in the future, he won't be able to sit or stand in peace. He won't be able to eat or sleep at night."
The fortune-teller coldly said, "This person is a parasite of the country who has no regard for the law. He doesn't want to be a good official for the country and the people, and only wants to exploit the common people. A mere county magistrate's cheap brother-in-law dares to be so arrogant. It's no wonder that those people dared to act like that. These scum, one day, I will let them know the consequences of taking a salary from the imperial court and ruining the imperial court's reputation. "
The middle-aged man chuckled. "This subordinate believes that master already has the title of 'Bloodthirsty Prince'?"
"Are you here today to make me angry?" The fortune-teller unhappily said, "Don't you know that this master hates this bullshit title the most? If it wasn't for that muddle-headed scoundrel, this master would have been the most outstanding among the free and unfettered princes. "
The middle-aged man lowered his eyes. It wasn't good for him to comment. Because this so-called muddle-headed scoundrel was specifically referring to the current Retired Emperor. Although the Retired Emperor had already abdicated and didn't have any real power, he still had to show respect as a subject. Even if this Retired Emperor didn't have many areas worthy of respect. But in the entire country, the only person who could reprimand the Retired Emperor was his master. The youngest prince of the founding Emperor Zu Shengwen's era, Shuijing.
Shuijing's birth was considered a big miracle in the past.
Emperor Zu Shengwen and Empress Tai Mu had deep feelings for each other. Even when he put on the dragon robe and ascended to the throne, he never had the thought of not filling up the imperial harem. Even though there were many beautiful daughters of aristocratic families who had a chance encounter with him in the imperial garden, until Emperor Zu Shengwen's death, Empress Tai Mu was still the only one who stood out in the imperial harem.
When Shuijing was born, Empress Tai Mu was already forty-seven years old. The Emperor and Empress's one son and two daughters had already settled down. At that time, the Retired Emperor, who was still the Emperor's eldest grandson, had already gotten married. Emperor Zu Shengwen was worried about Empress Tai Mu's health, but he was also excited about welcoming a new life after more than ten years. Emperor Zu Shengwen and Empress Tai Mu were on high alert. Not only did they have the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital be on standby 24 hours a day, they also invited a godly doctor from the common folk to nurse Empress Tai Mu's health.
Shuijing's birth went very smoothly, probably due to proper nursing. Emperor Zu Shengwen was overjoyed. Because of his earlier nervousness, he couldn't even speak clearly, so he announced a general amnesty. On the same day, it was discovered that the Emperor's eldest consort was pregnant. Emperor Zu Shengwen thought that this was a blessing brought by Shuijing, so he directly conferred the title of Prince Rui to his second di son, who had just been born. At that time, the Crown Prince, who later became Emperor Zu Shengwen, was very fond of this younger brother who was the closest to him by blood and was old enough to be his grandson. Even though the word "Rui" had a deep meaning, he still supported Emperor Zu Shengwen's decision.
In order to enjoy the joy of raising a child with Empress Tai Mu, Emperor Zu Shengwen abdicated after conferring the title of Shuijing to Gaozu Yingwu. Emperor Zu Shengwu thought that this was a blessing brought to him by Shuijing, so he liked this younger brother who was almost thirty years younger than him even more.
Shuijing was deeply doted on by two generations of emperors and empresses. Originally, he should have been a free and unfettered wangye and lived happily for the rest of his life. If it wasn't for that incident, he wouldn't have acted like that and been given the title of "bloodthirsty wangye" in the end.
Thinking of this, Shuijing couldn't help but feel a bit irritated. "Wen Dongyan, if you bring up those troublesome matters again, ben wang will get angry with you."
Seeing that he had really angered his master, Wen Dongyan hurriedly coughed twice and took out a letter from his sleeve to hand it over. "There's news from that side. Does Master want to take a look?"
"What do you think?" Shuijing glared at him in annoyance. After quickly skimming through it, he threw the letter on the table and coldly said: "So it's from that side of the world. Ah, it's no wonder. With those vermin around, isn't it the best place to hide and tolerate filth? "
"Master, there's no need to be angry. As the saying goes, the peak of prosperity is bound to decline. They've already fallen into a pit. This pit will be filled up sooner or later. "
The next day, the fortune-telling stall had already been replaced with a new table. Under the astonished gazes of the people around him, Shuijing calmly sat down on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
While everyone secretly admired Shuijing's courage, they also thought that he was a foreigner and probably didn't know the relationship between Master Liu and the county magistrate. They couldn't help but inwardly sigh, but they didn't dare to go forward and remind him. They were afraid that the county magistrate would think they were accomplices and arrest them.
After waiting for more than half a day, they didn't see even half a shadow of an official. Everyone couldn't help but secretly marvel at the fact that the sun could also rise from the west.
The number of people coming to the market to buy things gradually increased. The peddlers no longer made wild guesses and began to compete with each other to shout. It was a lively scene. In contrast to this lively scene, other than the fortune-telling stall in Shuijing, there was also a woman over fifty years old coming from the east side of the market.
The woman was dressed in gray cotton clothes. Her hair was white and her expression was wooden. Her eyes were staring straight, as if she was a wooden carving. If she wasn't walking slowly, one would think that she was dead. When the people on the street saw her appearance, they all panicked and walked away from her.
Shui Jing, on the other hand, looked at the woman with interest. When she arrived in front of the stall, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Since you have already decided to live and die, why don't you have a divination to resolve your obsession?"
The woman's body suddenly stopped. Her feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and she couldn't move. Only her tightly clenched fists slightly trembled, revealing the struggle in her heart.
Shuijing wasn't in a hurry. He patiently waited and didn't try to persuade her.
The fortune-teller lightly nodded his head.
The middle-aged man understood and walked to the first chair on the left and sat down.
"Master has worked hard. Did you coincidentally meet that person today? "
The fortune-teller glanced at him and put down his teacup. He coldly snorted and said, "Someone should have already reported to you what happened today. Even if you knew, you still came to me to be an eyesore. Look at you, if you want to laugh then laugh. Be careful that you don't get sick. "
"Master must be joking." The middle-aged man gently waved the goose feather fan with one hand and stroked his beard with the other. "Master was called … by those boorish people. This subordinate is very angry." Although he said this, his eyes were curved. It was clear that he was in a good mood.
The fortune-teller rolled his eyes. Naturally, he did not believe the words of a person who liked to make fun of him.
Sooner or later, I will shave off that eyesore of yours. He secretly planned in his heart.
Feeling a trace of "malice", the middle-aged man's smile deepened. "I don't know how Master wants to deal with these people who spoke nonsense?"
"I'm not the kind of person to take revenge. As usual, throw these people into the Xishan mines to work as coolies. If they have the strength and time to bully the common people, it would be better to work harder to serve the court. When they are finished, they will be released. "
Although they were called coolies, they were actually just regular workers who worked in the mines that were run by the state. In addition to providing normal food and shelter, they could also receive a considerable salary every month. However, for people like them, when they first entered, they might suffer because they were not disciplined. Secondly, the salary they received would not be given to them. Instead, it would be sent to their families to be given to their parents, wives, and children. When their bad habits were eliminated and they no longer harmed the village, they would be allowed to choose whether to return to their hometowns or continue to work here. Of course, there was a holiday at this time. They had to let the old and young reunite, right? Even if these people all chose to return to their hometowns, there was no need to worry about coolies. There was no lack of evil people in this world.
This wasn't the first time this kind of thing was done. The middle-aged man nodded in understanding. "Master is wise. This subordinate will send people to investigate their family situation."
"While you are at it, show my token to the county magistrate here. This matter should be over soon. I don't want to get involved in any unnecessary trouble before that. "
The middle-aged man smiled slightly when he heard this. He twisted his beard and said, "Master doesn't want to go to that prison for a spin? This is a rare opportunity. "
"Go to a spin?" The fortune-teller raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile. "How about I send you in to experience it? From the imperial prison to the prison in this remote county, you can choose whichever you want. "
The middle-aged man's expression was very calm. He waved his goose feather fan steadily. "If that's the case, this subordinate can also take advantage of this opportunity to rest."
The fortune-teller's smile suddenly froze. He gloomily glared at him and didn't say anything else.
It was a good thing that his subordinates were too capable, especially someone like him who was too lazy to care about such mundane matters. However, if this person refused to do it, then it would be a disaster for him.
The middle-aged man saw his gloomy expression and restrained himself. He changed the topic and said, "When the county magistrate sees master's token, he will probably be unable to sit or stand in peace. He won't be able to eat or sleep at night."
