140 140 Mystery
◎ Question, how to deal with him better?◎
Zhao Shixian was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.
Of course he had done all these things, but what kind of magical power is this, how can he say it so directly?
As the first person to see Mo Yu's magical power of expressing his inner voice, Zhao Shixian couldn't help but feel supernatural, and even wondered if his brain was a bit weird...
If this inner voice was talking about other people's gossip, he would probably treat this as a strange thing like everyone else, and even be happy to watch and eat melons.
But when he was the person involved and was complained about, this matter was not so wonderful.
Especially when he found that he had no way to protest against this matter. Of course,
it was useless to open his mouth to defend himself.
He was not sure whether he was the only one who could hear it, or whether everyone present could hear it.
He did not dare to look either - the Emperor was standing in front of him, who would dare to make a move?
Anyway, he did not dare.
Not only did he not dare to look, he did not even dare to move.
If everyone could hear the "divine revelations" that this kid said, he would have been dragged out and punished.
And just for the conclusion that he was "richer than the emperor", he would not die a hundred times.
This was the situation, and there was no other way except to stand still and hope that nothing would happen, or not be noticed at all.
Zhao Shixian wanted to play the quail here, but Master Kang did not give him the opportunity at all.
Mo Yu was still sitting there obediently as his "chairman", but in fact he was still ranting like crazy.
Speaking of Zhao Shixian's wealth, we have to talk about his story of competing with others for wealth.
[It is said that this Lord Zhao has been an official for many years, and his corruption has reached the level of being completely pure, and no one knows about it... Well, in fact, except for Master Kang, everyone knows it...]
[In short, this Lord Zhao has accumulated a lot of wealth through this, and he has been promoted from an ordinary minor official to the governor of Shandong, and has been in the position of the governor of the river for thirteen years. It can be said that he was once rich enough to rival a country. ]
[Specifically, he would never allow anyone he knew to be richer than him, even if it was just a rumor. 】
【So the story recorded by Yuan Mei, who was also a Qing Dynasty man, a great talent and a great scholar, happened. 】 【
It is said that one day, Lord Zhao, who had become the governor of the river, was bored at home, and suddenly heard that there was a local Tongzhi named Zhang who was very rich. 】
【Lord Zhao was furious when he heard it. What? In my territory, you say you are richer than me? This must not be tolerated. 】
【It is also another kind of tacit understanding. That Tongzhi Zhang is also a person who likes to show off his wealth. The specific performance is exactly the same as Lord Zhao, that is, he absolutely does not allow anyone in this world to be richer than him...】
【Well, sometimes these rich people are really boring. You have to compete with each other on this matter. You say you are so rich, why are you still so narrow-minded? 】
【Who is the richest man? It doesn't matter. We are all so rich anyway. Just be happy. 】
【I didn't expect these two to come out and stir up trouble - didn't you say you are the richest? All right, let's draw a line and talk it out. 】
【It was Zhang Tongzhi who took action first. He politely sent a note to Zhao Shixian, saying that he wanted to treat Mr. Zhao to dinner. 】
【This matter was originally normal. After all, although Zhang Tongzhi was rich, he was not a big official. In this world where the higher-ranking officials can crush people, if you are not as high-ranking as others, you will be at a great disadvantage. 】
【It is probably because of this that Zhang Tongzhi is so obsessed with the amount of wealth he has - although you are a high-ranking official, I have money, that's probably the mentality. 】 【
In short, Zhang Tongzhi sent such a post to invite Lord Zhao to dinner. Lord Zhao had heard that Zhang Tongzhi was very wealthy, so he accepted the invitation. 】
【This dinner was very lively, it can be said to be quite grand. Because first of all, the specifications of the food must be directly full, everything flying in the sky, running on the ground, as long as it exists in the world. They must be brought in and served. 】
【The most amazing thing about this banquet is not the food, but the venue layout. Since it is a "family banquet", it must be held at home. The residence of Zhang Tongzhi was quite luxurious, not to mention the venue used for the banquet, which was extremely luxurious. 】
【I don’t know what this Zhang Tongzhi was thinking, he actually chose a night to invite Lord Zhao to dinner. In the end, it was just to hang colorful lights in the garden and light candles. The candlelight dinner was like a person under the artificial sun, which was really scary. 】
【That’s not enough, and he had to find 300 servants to take turns to change the wicks. He must make this artificial daylight dinner perfect, which is also quite specific. 】
【Lord Zhao was not in a hurry about this, and even praised Zhang Tongzhi. Then he had a big move in mind. He wanted to invite Zhang Tongzhi back. * After all, it is rude not to return the favor. If someone invites you, you must return the favor! Otherwise, how can you survive in the underworld in the future? Lord Zhao is also a prestigious person, and he must not be forced to take this stupid humiliation. 】
【Zhang Tongzhi originally thought that his last feat of replacing the wick with 300 servants was enough to shock Lord Zhao. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhao did not react at all. He was so calm that Zhang Tongzhi always felt that this old guy was scared and dared not even fart. 】
【As a result, he received another invitation from Lord Zhao a few days later, saying that he wanted to return the invitation, so he must go. Since there was such a move, he must have been offended, which proved that his financial resources still left some impression on Lord Zhao. 】
【So Zhang Tongzhi went to the banquet happily. As expected, it was also at night, in the garden, and they also had a meal with candles lit. But the magical thing is that there were so many candles, but there were not many people to take care of them...】
【You know, in the same scene, Zhang Tongzhi's family needed 300 servants to handle it. How come there were only a dozen servants to take care of these candles in Zhao Da's house? Could they all be supernatural? 】 【As
a result, Zhang Tongzhi was unable to figure out the mystery until the end of the meal. To be honest, rather than being angry, he was more curious - how did he do this? 】
【Of course, this was not some kind of magic, it was just a trick that Zhao Shixian spent a lot of money to build. It turns out that the wicks of those colored lamps are made of colored silk, with a gunpowder fuse underneath connected to the underground mechanism, and pulled by a rope. When the wick of a lamp burns out, just pull the rope and use the explosion of the explosives to re-ignite the wick.
[As for why there is no explosion sound, it is of course because the lantern has a special design. Not only is the wick made of flammable and lightweight colorful brocade, but even the lamp holder is made of brass, which is light and strong, and has really reached the level of a work of art. ]
[The result of the competition is undoubtedly that Lord Zhao won. ]
[Then the question is, if such a Lord Zhao is placed in front of you, what will you do? ]
