Opening it, there are two gold medals inside, engraved with the title of the gold medal, "Fu Shou Yong Kang". One gold medal is old and heavy, and it looks like five or six taels.
The boy handed the box to Magistrate Guo and said, "Sir, please exchange this gold medal for copper coins and distribute it to each family. The deceased will get more, and the injured will have to keep medicine money. The rest will be bought for the people of the two villages."
Meat, let’s have a meal together to resolve the grievances between the two parties.”
Hearing this, Patriarch Zheng pounded the table angrily, "Erlang, this is the gold medal your grandfather gave you. I hired a goldsmith to carve words on it. How could you give it away so easily?"
Zheng Fei said nothing and glanced at the boy.
The boy's scalp was numb, and he lowered his head and read out the lines he had memorized last night, "Sir, Mr. Lang said that gold and silver are easy to come by, but peace is hard to find. It's just a hundred thousand dollars, and our family can't afford it."
Patriarch Zheng's mouth trembled slightly, but in the end he was still reluctant to give the gold medal to Magistrate Guo, so he turned around and asked the steward to bring two sacks of copper coins to Magistrate Guo. Each sack was fifty coins.
Man Bao, who was sitting drinking tea, was dumbfounded, but Magistrate Guo accepted the one hundred thousand money with a smile and returned the box to the boy.
The boy turned around with the box and handed it to Zheng Erlang, making it difficult for Patriarch Zheng who wanted to keep it for him to open his mouth.
Magistrate Guo had a clear view of all this, and he had some thoughts in his mind. He asked someone to leave with two sacks of money.
When Man Bao saw it, he also stood up and told the Zheng family and his son, "Don't be too emotional and eat lightly. Today's acupuncture is over. You should pay attention to exercise in private and speak more. You can hold a stone in your right hand to practice your strength.
I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
So he also ran away after Magistrate Guo.
Because Zhou Man said "Don't be too emotional", Patriarch Zheng suppressed his temper, glanced at his son, turned around and left.
Zheng Fei watched his father leave, then sighed and looked at the boy.
The boy immediately stepped forward and closed the door. He was very worried and asked, "Erlang, will the master be very angry?"
Zheng Fei shook his head slightly and wrote nonchalantly: "I will calm down after a while."
"But Da Langjun is also here. Erlang, they all say privately that Zhuangtou is deliberately trying to harm you, and the person who instigated it is Da Langjun..."
Zheng Fei's face darkened and he wrote heavily on the paper: "Stop talking nonsense. Don't say such things again. If anyone makes such sinister speculations in front of you again, tell the housekeeper and the master directly and send the person out."
The boy was startled and quickly lowered his head and said "yes".
Zheng Fei looked ugly, lowered his eyes and thought for a long time. Finally, he burned the top two pieces of paper with writing on them, then took another piece of paper and wrote: "Go and ask Brother to come, just say that I have something to say to you."
He said."
The boy looked at Zheng Fei in surprise. Erlang and Dalang had always been at odds with each other, so Dalang followed Erlang and took a look at him in the afternoon when Erlang came back, and then he kept avoiding this place.
Go ask Dalang at this time...
Zheng Fei looked at him.
The boy had no choice but to turn around and go to invite someone.
Man Bao caught up with Magistrate Guo on horseback and rode out with him, "Magistrate Guo, will you come tomorrow?"
Magistrate Guo: "I'm not a doctor, so how can I visit you every day?"
He smiled and said: "If there is no accident, I probably won't come to your door again."
He looked Zhou Man up and down and asked with a smile: "It's still early, why don't Mr. Zhou stay at Zheng's house for a while? I heard that when you were in the palace, you kept an eye on people and smoked the house every day."
Man Bao said: "The room he prepared is cleaner than the one in the East Palace, so I don't need to keep an eye on Xun. Besides, the atmosphere in his house is weird, and I don't want to stay there longer."
When they reached the fork in the road, Man Bao remembered that because spring and summer coincided, Yin or she had not been feeling well recently, so she turned directly in another direction, waved to Magistrate Guo and said, "I'm leaving, see you later."
Magistrate Guo reined in his horse, glanced at the direction she was going, and said curiously: "That's not your home."
"I'm going to take a look at Yin Or."
When Magistrate Guo heard this, he immediately said: "I will go with you."
Man Bao looked at him curiously, "Master Guo and Yin are also friends?"
Magistrate Guo: "...not really, but Mr. Yin is the son of my boss, and I want to see Mr. Yin."
He asked why it was so difficult to find Yin Li in the past two days. It turned out that Yin was not feeling well.
Although Yin You was not feeling well this time, he was stubbornly unwilling to return to Yin's mansion, so he still stayed in his county mansion.
But the old lady moved here to take care of him, and even Yin Li also lived here.
County Magistrate Guo secretly thought as he followed Zhou Man inside, no wonder he sent people to Yin Mansion several times to look for him but couldn't find him.
Yin Li met Magistrate Guo in the front hall, while Man Bao went to the back as he knew the way around.
Yin was sitting on the couch by the window reading a book. The window was only half-opened. In fact, if it wasn't for his strong opinion, Mrs. Yin wouldn't even have opened the other half for him.
Seeing Zhou Man coming, Mrs. Yin smiled and pulled her to talk for a while, then left, leaving the space for the two of them to talk.
Yin You was very curious, "Why did you come here by yourself? Where is Bai Shan?"
"He hasn't gone to office yet."
Yin You looked out at the position of the sun, said "Oh" after a while, smelled the smell of medicine on her body and asked, "Did you come from the Zheng family?"
Man Bao nodded and asked, "How do you feel today?"
Yin You waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Actually, I'm just sleepy and a little dizzy. It's not a big problem."
Man Bao nodded, "It's been raining too much and you have rheumatism. How about I scrape you?"
Man Bao said with great interest: "I am also very good at scraping."
Yin You stiffened and shook his head repeatedly. He had seen the scar on Zhou Lang's neck, and it was said that it was scratched by Zhou Man.
"You can give Bai Shan a try."
"He's not sleepy," Man Bao said, "He practices martial arts every day and is in very good health."
Yin You changed the subject, "I just heard from my servants that County Magistrate Guo is also here, or is he coming with you? Did you guys meet him on the road?"
"No, we came out of Zheng's house together." Man Bao briefly explained Zheng Erlang's operations and said: "Don't say it, don't blame Brother Tang and County Magistrate Guo for praising him as the pillar of the country.
It’s his kind of heart that most people can’t match.”
It was obviously him who was injured and almost lost his life, but he didn't feel any resentment at all, and instead offered money to resolve their grievances.
Yin Youque said: "He suspects that those bankers are also affected by the disaster, but he is indeed broad-minded."
Man Bao has heard a lot of private discussions during this period. She and Bai Shan also discussed it. They both felt that the attitude of the emperor and some ministers was strange. They seemed to be just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. However, they had limited information and could not guess.
What's going on? So she looked at Yin You with sparkling eyes and asked, "Are those bankers fighting just to take the opportunity to give him a hoe?"
