Chapter 787 Outrageous
As the sun sets in the west, as the officials on duty in Xiyuan get off work one after another, the business of the food stalls outside the gate of Xiyuan Palace is becoming more and more popular, with people coming and going, and the seats are full.
As officials visited the food stalls, the story of the Taicang bank theft became more and more detailed, and the details of Zhu Pingan's bank check became more and more abundant. Many commentators seemed to have witnessed it with their own eyes. , said vividly.
Of course, in the process of word of mouth, there are more and more versions of Zhu Pingan, adding a lot of subjective color.
While eating steamed buns, Liu Mu and Liu Dadao were stunned as they listened to the conversations of the people at the table around them.
"Mr. Zhu, this naked official is a good official. He does his job cleanly and fulfills his duties. There are too few such officials now. Although I am the coachman of Mr. Liu's family, my old horse will be my most important person from now on. The officer I admire is Mr. Zhu who checks the bank with his bare buttocks."
A coachman named Ma at the next table took a big sip of wine and chewed the mutton, spitting.
Well, that was well said. Liu Dadao was very excited when he heard it, as if that person was talking about him, and the buns in his mouth became even more fragrant.
"You all say that Mr. Zhu is honest and responsible, but I think Mr. Zhu is quite stupid. Alas, don't look at me like this, listen to me. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about Taicang Bank, where is the bank in Taicang? Even if I don't tell you, everyone knows that this is the treasury of the Ming Dynasty. Water draft, this is backed by the bank, of course it is for eating. You all know that Taicang is empty. Look, there were five pawns who followed Mr. Zhu to check the bank. As for the officials, the leader was a third-rank official, who was higher than Master Zhu's. As a result, in two days, everyone made excuses to give up their jobs, and only Master Zhu was left. Mr. Zhu didn't follow others' advice, but in the end, Mr. Zhu still insisted on it. After getting to the bottom of it, do you think Mr. Zhu was stupid? Ah, etc., supervision, etc., it’s just like us making jokes, it’s normal, everyone is just joking, it’s just to earn a living, if you really work hard Everyone would weigh and weigh the words, but Mr. Zhu was different. He was like a raw melon and an egg, and he was very serious. Later, when the inventory was taken, he was not allowed to enter, saying that he had to enter the bank. Like Ku Bing, he could only wear a pair of crotch pants, but Master Zhu took them off without saying a word, not to mention his crotch pants. He was completely naked."
"The officials present at the time were all frightened. How could such a thing be played? Aren't you saying that your body, hair, and skin are the responsibility of your parents, and you can't kill or humiliate them? Why does Mr. Zhu seem to be ignorant of etiquette, justice, and integrity? However, Mr. Zhu just dares to do so. Play like this, Mr. Zhu The figure walking into the bank swaggering naked like this seems to be telling everyone that I am so innocent."
"If you are naked, there will be no flaws. That's it, Mr. Zhu is impeccable. According to his own conditions, he thoroughly checked the bank's account books, counted the gold and silver in the bank, and found out all the big rats in the bank."
"You think Mr. Zhu is stupid or not? Don’t tell me, we people still need this kind of thing Silly official, we, Lao Li, will accept such stupid officials.”
A man sitting at the same table as the coachman surnamed Ma opened his chest, revealing tufts of lush chest hair. He looked like a gentleman. Takefu, with a thick-backed machete beside him. The man stretched out his big furry hand and patted the table, and said with a purr.
In fact, when the man first said that Zhu Ping'an was stupid, Liu Dadao had already put down the bun in his mouth. If Liu Mu hadn't grabbed him with his hand, Liu Dadao would have gone up to the man to ask for an explanation. , even when Liu Mu pulled him, Liu Dadao glared at the man fiercely, so the man said at that moment, don’t look at me like this.
When the man said the next words, Liu Dadao was being tamed like a docile donkey. When the man said it later, Liu Dadao listened with interest again. When the man said the last thing, Liu Dadao I couldn't help but scream loudly.
There are many similar discussions at food stalls.
However, as time goes by, these versions of discussion become more and more off-track and more and more outrageous.
For example, the following discussion is way off base.
"Do you know why the officials who were watching were stunned when Mr. Zhu took off his clothes and entered the bank to take inventory?" Someone said with a very informative look.
"Why?" someone asked curiously.
"That's because Mr. Zhu has the capital. As soon as he took off his clothes, he shocked the onlookers on the spot. Otherwise, why do you think Mr. Zhu is so active in taking off his clothes? It's because of his self-confidence." The man spoke plausibly and stretched out his hand to indicate the length, as if he had witnessed it on the spot.
“Are you kidding? Isn’t that a donkey?” The person next to him heard this and retorted in disbelief.
Pfft.
Hearing this, Liu Dadao spurted out the mouthful of buns he just took in his mouth.
Normally, with Liu Mu's skills and Liu Mu's understanding of Liu Dadao, he would definitely be able to avoid it. But the problem is, Liu Mu also choked after hearing what the man said, and he hasn't recovered yet. As a result, Liu Dadao sprayed Liu Mu in the face.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Liu Dadao clumsily stretched out his hand to help Liu Mu wipe it, as if he wanted to wipe it evenly.
“Forget it, I’ll do it myself.” Liu Mu shook his head in disgust and dodged.
At this time, the topic at the food stall couldn't be more biased. Chaku's version was so outrageous that it seemed like a fantasy, but some people still told it as if it was true.
"Do you know why Lord Zhu strips off his clothes and checks the bank? Do you know why Lord Zhu settles accounts faster than the top accountants in Taicang? That accountant you mean? It's the famous ghost accountant in our capital. .”
"No matter how powerful the ghost hand is, he still has two hands, but Master Zhu, Master Zhu is not a pair of hands. Hehe, don't forget, Master Zhu took off his clothes. Master Zhu not only has capital, but also can dial abacus. Ghost Hand Zhang is just a pair of hands, how can he be compared to Lord Zhu? The ghost-hand Zhang has already lost before the reckoning has begun."
Poof.
Liu Dadao vomited again.
"The young master is coming out."
At this time, Liu Mu's sharp eyes saw Zhu Ping'an walking out of the palace. He pulled Liu Dada, who was about to argue with someone, and put the meal money. On the table, Liu Dadao was pulled towards him.
"Have you had dinner?" Zhu Pingan asked, "If not, just eat in this restaurant before going back. I just had it in the palace."
"We just had dinner, Mr. "Well, it's almost curfew, let's go back quickly." Liu Mu and Liu Dadao handed the reins of the black horse to Zhu Pingan, lest Zhu Pingan enter the restaurant and listen to those irrelevant words.
"Oh, okay then."
Zhu Ping'an didn't think too much. He heard the two said that they had eaten, and because it was indeed time to turn on the lights, the curfew was about to go, so Nodding, the three of them rode towards Linhuai Hou Mansion. (End of this chapter)
