As the sun sets, 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 becomes more and more popular, with people coming and going, and the seats are packed. .
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 and spoke vividly.
Of course, in the process of word-of-mouth communication, there are more and more versions about Zhu Pingan, adding a lot of subjective color.
While Liu Mu and Liu Dadao were eating steamed buns, they were stunned as they listened to the discussions 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 gulp of wine, chewed the mutton, and said with spittle.
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 an honest official and fulfills his responsibilities. I think this Mr. Zhu is quite stupid. Oh, don't look at me like this, listen to me. We won't talk about anything else, just talk about Taicang Yinku, Taicang Yinku
Where? I must not have said it, but everyone knows that this is the treasury of the Ming Dynasty. There is an old saying, it is called relying on the mountain to eat, and relying on the water to eat. If this is backed by the treasury, of course it will eat all of you.
I understand. Who doesn’t know that Taicang is empty? Look, there were five officials who followed Mr. Zhu to check the bank. The leader was a third-grade official, and all of them were better than Mr. Zhu.
My lord's official position, the result is that within two days, everyone made excuses to give up their jobs, and only Mr. Zhu was left. You said that Mr. Zhu didn't follow others and gave up their jobs, but in the end, Mr. Zhu just went up and checked to the end.
Do you think Mr. Zhu is stupid?!"
"You said that being an official in the government, internal fighting, supervision, etc., are just like our jokes. They are commonplace. Everyone is just joking. They are just to make a living. If you really go all out,
Everyone weighs and weighs, but Mr. Zhu is different. It’s like a raw melon and an egg. Ding is Ding and Mao is Mao. He is very serious. Later, when the inventory was taken, he was not allowed to enter. He said that if he wanted to enter the bank, he had to be like a bank.
Soldiers like that can only wear a pair of crotch pants, but Master Zhu reached out and took them off without saying a word. Not to mention the crotch pants, he took off his clothes completely, and went into the bank naked in front of everyone. "
"The officials present at the time were all frightened. Why is there such a thing? It's not that the body, hair and skin are affected by the parents, and the scholar can be killed and not humiliated. Why does Mr. Zhu seem to be ignorant of etiquette, justice and shame? However, Mr. Zhu just dares to
Playing like this, Mr. Zhu walked into the bank with his bare buttocks and swagger, as if he was telling everyone that I am so innocent."
"If you are naked, there will be no flaws. In this way, Mr. Zhu relied on his impeccable personal conditions to thoroughly check the bank's account books, count the gold and silver in the bank, and find out all the big rats in the bank in one fell swoop."
"You think Mr. Zhu is stupid or not? But don't say that yet, we people still need such stupid officials, and we, Lao Li, will obey such stupid officials."
A man sitting at the same table as the coachman surnamed Ma had his chest open, revealing tufts of lush chest hair. He looked like a martial artist. There was also a thick-backed machete beside him. The man stretched out his big furry hand and patted it.
"Table," he said.
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, or he would have been pulled by Liu Mu.
Looking at it, Liu Dadao also stared at the man fiercely, so the man said at that moment, don't look at me like that.
When the man said the next words, Liu Dadao was like a docile donkey.
I couldn't help but scream loudly.
There are many similar discussions at food stalls.
However, as time goes by, these versions of the discussion become increasingly off-track and 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 stock?" someone said with a hint of surprise.
"Why?" someone asked curiously.
"That's because Mr. Zhu's **Shuowei, as soon as he took off his clothes, he was so long that he shocked the onlookers on the spot. Otherwise, if you say why Mr. Zhu takes off his clothes so aggressively, 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? It's not that long. Isn't it a donkey?" The person next to him heard this and retorted in disbelief.
puff
When Liu Dadao heard this, he just took a bite of the bun and spit it out.
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 has not 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 was trying 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 had turned to Zhu Ping's life, and several people were blushing over the length and thickness.
Later on, the topic 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's hands are, he still has two hands, but Mr. Zhu's, Mr. Zhu is not a pair of hands. Haha, don't forget, Mr. Zhu took off his clothes. Mr. Zhu is not only long, but he can also dial the abacus.
Shou Zhang is just a pair of hands, how can he be compared to Mr. Zhu? Ghost Shou Zhang has already lost before the reckoning has even begun."
puff
Liu Dadao vomited again.
"The master is out."
At this time, Liu Mu's sharp eyes saw Zhu Ping'an walking out of the palace gate. He pulled Liu Dadao who was going to argue with someone. He put the meal money on the table and pulled Liu Dadao towards him.
"Have you had dinner?" Zhu Pingan asked, "If not, just eat at this restaurant before going back. I just used it in the palace."
"We just ate, young master. Well, it's almost curfew, let's go back quickly." Liu Mu, Liu Dadao handed the reins of the dark horse to Zhu Pingan and urged, lest Zhu Pingan entered the restaurant, he listened
Those irrelevant words.
"Oh, okay."
Zhu Ping'an didn't think too much. Hearing that the two of them had eaten, and because it was indeed the time to light the lanterns and the curfew was about to begin, he nodded, and the three of them rode horses to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
