Chapter 360: Beating the King with the Whip



"Stop howling, there's something special about your stick!" After she shouted, the fish ball man became obedient.

"What's that?" the fish ball man asked, wiping his face.

Fang Zong didn't dare to pinch it, for fear of breaking the things inside.

"Big Fatty, bring the scissors!"

When Zhang Xingzu heard the sound, he quickly picked up a pair of scissors from the counter.

Fang Zongtang looked at it with disdain and said, "This won't work. Bring me the tiger shears."

When Zhang Xingzu heard about the tiger shears, he was stunned, but without asking, he quickly went to the toolbox to get it.

In less than two minutes, he came with a pair of large scissors with pointed mouths about one meter long.

She first pried a hole in the stick and then used the scissors.

The two-centimeter-thick iron patina looked like white paper in her hands, and she could cut it from beginning to end.

"Brother Zongtang, there are patterns on the things inside."

She saw it.

When the fish ball maker took out the stick stuck in the patina, he was also stunned.

"Why is there something in there?"

This is not a fishing stick, it is an ancient weapon, an iron whip!

"Don't you know what's in your house?"

Fishball Man: He really doesn’t know.

"These two sticks looked like this when I was a kid."

Zhang Xingzu: "Brother Zongtang, it's a dragon-patterned whip. This stick must have a history."

She glanced at it and confirmed: "It's not a dragon, it's a Jiao. Look carefully, it has no horns on its head and it has four claws!"

The fish ball man quickly picked up the whip and looked at it.

She cut the other iron whip in the same way, and found a dragon coiled inside it as well.

What’s different from the other iron whip is that this one has words on it.

"Strike down the tyrant emperor and the corrupt officials!"

Zhang Xingzu knew this sentence because he had heard it from his great-grandfather before.

"Brother Zongtang, is this what our great grandfather said, to beat the king with a whip?"

She carefully checked the iron whip and was basically sure.

“It’s from the Ming Dynasty.”

The key point is that she had heard from her great-grandfather that several famous officials of the Shang, Tang and Song dynasties were granted the royal whip. Among them, the most famous one was Yuchi Gong of the Tang Dynasty, who often appeared on porcelain.

Ming Dynasty, she really didn’t know!

The fish ball guy thought differently from her. When he heard that it was an antique from the Ming Dynasty, he was so happy that he wanted to spin around with the stick in his arms.

"Our ancestors must have a history. How could they wrap up such a good stick?"

She explained to Yuwan Lao: "Which dynasty came after the Ming Dynasty?"

Is there any need to ask?

Fishball Man: "The Qing Dynasty."

She laughed unhappily, "You are a stick, you are against the Qing Dynasty and want to restore the Ming Dynasty. If you hadn't hidden yourself, you might not be here now."

Yuwanlao shuddered. Recently, people who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty were often shown on TV getting beheaded. He began to feel fortunate that his ancestors were wise.

She looked at the fish ball guy and said, "Are you still giving me this stick?"

The fish ball man quickly hugged the stick and shook his head: "No, no, I want to take my family back myself!"

She began to solicit business for the store: "These two iron whips have been wrapped for a long time, and they will definitely change color. If you want to repair them, send them to Lao Xingtang, and I will give you a discount!"

After expressing his gratitude again and again, the fish ball man excitedly left with the stick in his arms.

As Zhang Xingzu was collecting the iron sheets, he sighed, "Why hasn't our family produced a great ancestor?"

Two days later, the fish ball man came again with his family and carrying things.

"Brother Zongtang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that my family is still waiting for me. This is a thank you gift for you!"

Three fish balls made of gold, each as big as an egg.

The fish ball man is not a big boss, so these three fish balls are very valuable.
