Chapter 335 Buying and Selling Official

Positions Prince Yi ignored it directly. He wanted to say, didn’t the emperor notice that it was the emperor who was going to be angry to death, not him?

If he was also likely to be angry to death, he believed that Yuan Baobao would definitely leave one for him.

Yuan Baobao didn’t know what the adults were thinking.

Seeing the emperor accept the talisman, Yuan Baobao looked at him expectantly.

However, the emperor had been exchanging glances with Prince Yi and did not notice the eager look on the little girl’s face.

[Alas, when did my emperor become so stingy? ]

[I gave him the talisman, why didn’t he give me something? ]

[We don’t want good things either, gold and silver are not a problem. ]

The emperor, who was still complacent, suddenly felt that the talisman in his hand was a little hot.

What about the promised honor to him? Why do you suddenly want him to give you a reward?

Liu Jiaojiao almost couldn't help laughing out loud, her daughter had never done a business that would lose money.

Old Feng also tried to hold back his laughter, no matter what the emperor gave as a reward, it would probably be more than one thousand taels of silver.

So did he make a profit, or a big profit?

...

Zhuangyuan Pavilion is also the largest restaurant in the capital.

It is the favorite place for students, no doubt about it.

Because there have been several champions here, even if the cost here is not cheap, those who want to take the champion exam will save up money to live here, just to pray for a good start.

At this time, five or six students gathered on the third floor of the Zhuangyuan Pavilion. Although the door was closed, the people inside were still noisy and lively.

"I think we were deceived!"

A student's eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly. He punched the table hard. With a bang, he jumped up in pain.

"It hurts so much!"

I don't know what kind of wood this table is made of. It almost hurt him to death just now.

Another student looked gentle, but at this time his face was also cold, and his thin lips were tightly closed.

"Do you think that old man is deceiving us? Didn't he say he could get us a position as an official? But it's been so long and he still doesn't dare to say a word!"

"Wait a minute, let's see if Brother Liu can find him!"

The calm man comforted everyone.

Several people walked around the room impatiently. The one who smashed the table earlier said loudly: "If it were me, we should go find Master Feng! He is the emperor's teacher. He has taken our money. Why doesn't he help us?"

"Humph, I think they are a group. I guess they don't want to admit their mistakes after taking the money!"

Another one also said angrily.

Everyone was very angry. They had finally participated in the imperial examination and got good results.

But there are so many students, how many of them can really become officials? After a lot of effort, they found a way and spent a lot of money, but unfortunately, so much time has passed and they still haven't received the appointment order.

Some people were indignant and went to find that person to argue. That person has been making excuses, and now, he can't even be seen.

"Why do I feel that this is wrong?"

Some students are smarter and look at everyone in confusion: "We are very sure that the man and Master Feng are indeed... but we have never seen Master Feng..."

"I haven't seen him either..."

"Me too..."

The man with a calmer temper also frowned tightly at this time: "You think, is it possible that Master Feng doesn't know about this at all?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

In the past, they just wanted to find an official position as soon as possible, and never thought that the man might be a liar.

"This...what should we do?"

As soon as the words just came out, several students were scared.

"That's all my savings, and I also borrowed money from outside..."

The person who spoke cried, "I thought it would be easy to pay back the money after becoming an official, but if I get cheated..."

He didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Another person was also pale, and he also borrowed money.

"No, Mr. Feng must not know about this, he definitely doesn't know. If he knew, how dare that person use his name to sell an official position?"

Someone looked fierce and said angrily.

"Oh no, oh no!"

The door was slammed open and a student ran in hurriedly, his face pale and his voice breathless: "I went to look for him, but Lord Fang is missing!"

Upon hearing this, several students staggered and barely held onto the table. They finally steadied themselves and asked tremblingly, "What did you say?"

"I just went to ask, but Lord Fang is missing!"

Everyone felt a buzz in their heads and their eyes went blank.

After an unknown amount of time, the calm man was the first to react: "No, we must find a way!"

"Otherwise, let's go find Master Feng! It's all his fault, he cheated us out of our money!"

The man was about to rush out, but someone grabbed his arm and asked in a stern voice: "Are you crazy? If this gets out, our lives will be over!"

This is buying an official position.

If the court knew about it, neither the buyer nor the seller would be in a good situation. Maybe they

would never be able to be an official for the rest of their lives.

The man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked at him with red eyes: "Do you think that if we don't go to find Master Feng, no one will know about this?"

"Besides, if there is no way,

do you think we can become officials?" "Just based on our performance in the imperial examination? There are so many students who pass the examination every year, but how many of them can really become officials? If you have no ability and no way out, are you dreaming of becoming an official?"

The man who just blocked him hesitated, and he silently stepped back a few steps.

"Forget about the future, I just want to get the money back and recover the losses!"

"If I can't be an official, I can still be a businessman or a teacher in the future."

"But if I can't get the money back, I can't pay off those high-interest loans, and my life might be ruined!"

It must be said that this man was still quite calm at this time.

When everyone saw him leave, they followed him out.

Zhuangyuan Pavilion was originally inhabited by students. Many people heard about the noise here and came out to inquire out of curiosity. In the end, they also learned about the buying and selling of official positions.

Many people were shocked. After all, not many people with better family conditions could buy official positions. Most people were still penniless. They just wanted to watch the excitement.

...

Old Feng took the Qingxin Talisman and walked home. He looked at the two pictures carefully and was surprised to find that he still couldn't understand the patterns on them.

But even though he couldn't understand them, the two pictures really looked the same.

He estimated that it might really be a talisman.

As for whether it would work or not, Old Feng didn't dare to say. What he was more worried about now was that he didn't know what had happened at home?

But so far, no one has come to see him. Maybe the little princess missed this only time?
