The two men had another secret conversation and agreed on the details of the action. Then Emperor Jing left the back courtyard with a triumphant look on his face.
It was just a feeling of nausea in my stomach. What kind of ingenuity did Fang Zheng have? He prepared two cups, one of which was for himself to rinse his mouth!
I was so confused that I actually listened to the words of a little maid.
When he reached the exit, Emperor Jing saw Xiaotao leaning against the moon-shaped door, looking inside.
When Xiao Tao saw Emperor Jing coming out, she smiled and said, "How did Mr. Li discuss with my young master?"
Emperor Jing also smiled slightly: "The important matter has been settled! County Magistrate Fang is quick to speak and act quickly."
"I knew it would work!" Xiao Tao looked proud.
"Oh? How do you know?" This time, Emperor Jing had a look of doubt on his face. This girl's words were not reliable at all.
Xiao Tao looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, as if lost in memories, and said slowly: "Mr. Li has just arrived in Taoyuan County not long ago, so he may not know the young master well."
"Sir, you would never have thought that a few years ago, people often starved to death in Taoyuan County."
"Young Master usually doesn't get up until the sun is high in the sky every day."
"But during those years, the young master couldn't sleep for many nights every day, and he was always thinking about saving more victims..."
"Once I saw a disaster victim die of hunger and disease in front of you. Before he died, he kept pulling at your sleeve and crying out in pain."
"But it was too late to save the situation. That night, the young master drank a lot of wine and shed a lot of tears..."
After saying that, Xiao Tao also wiped the corners of her eyes: "But now everything is fine. Now everyone in Taoyuan County lives and works in peace and contentment. As long as the young master is here, the previous life will never appear again!"
"The young master is a first-class kind-hearted person who cannot bear to see others suffer, so Xiao Tao is sure that since Mr. Li asked my young master to help, he would definitely not stand by and watch someone die!"
Emperor Jing remained silent, but his heart was deeply shocked.
He originally thought that the records about Taoyuan County contained a lot of water, but he did not expect that the situation a few years ago was actually true, and it was probably far worse than he imagined.
In just a few years, Taoyuan County has been transformed from a hell on earth to what it is today!
What was even more unexpected was that Fang Zhengyi, such a carefree person, actually had such a serious side.
Emperor Jing was touched, so he comforted him, "County Magistrate Fang has such great talent, he will surely rise to great heights in the future."
Xiaotao shook her head vigorously.
"Our young master doesn't like to rise to fame and fortune, and the people of Taoyuan County don't want him to leave Taoyuan County. Life like this is great!"
It is precisely because of his kind of person that he cannot stay in Taoyuan County. There are too many people suffering in the world.
I want to save more than just Jianjiang...
Emperor Jing sighed lightly, thanked Xiaotao and left.
................................
It was already late at night when Guo Tianyang returned to the inn. He was sitting at the table when he suddenly heard a sound outside the door and hurried out to open it.
Seeing that it was Emperor Jing who came back, he hurriedly and earnestly helped Emperor Jing take off his outer robe.
"Your Majesty, does Fang Zhengyi have anything to say?"
Emperor Jing smiled and said, "Yes! I have gained a lot from this trip. Fang Zhengyi said that there is a thing in Taoyuan County called Infinite Merit, which can split mountains and rocks. He has promised me to send people to Jianjiang."
Guo Tianyang was surprised and asked, "Immeasurable merit? What is this?"
"I don't know. I only know that this item is extremely valuable and needs 50,000 taels of silver to buy. I asked Fang Zhengyi several times but he kept silent. Tomorrow, take the tea leaves and prepare the carriage to return to Beijing immediately!"
"After you go back, arrange for your men to change into civilian clothes and go to Jiangling Port to escort Fang Zhengyi's men. Then send the factory guards to Taoyuan County to find out what the boundless merit is!"
"Haha, I want to see what it is that Fang Zheng could hide it so clearly."
After Emperor Jing took off his outer robe, he sat in a chair and drank hot tea comfortably.
"Fifty thousand taels!"
Guo Tianyang exclaimed
Then he said sinisterly, "Your Majesty! Is Fang Zhengyi deceiving you? Think about it, you are just a businessman now. If the immeasurable merits are just something that Fang Zhengyi made up, then Your Majesty has been deceived, right?"
Emperor Jing held the teacup in his hand and stared at the tea: "No!"
"Credit is the foundation of business. Fang Zhengyi values business so much that he will never do anything that would ruin his future."
"Besides, even if he deceived me, so what? I borrowed the 50,000 taels of silver from Taoyuan County. If Fang Zhengyi dares to deceive me, I will chop off his head!"
If it was really for fraud, then Fang Zhengyi wouldn't have had to tell him so much.
What's more...the behavior of people from top to bottom in Taoyuan County plus what the maid beside him said are enough to prove what kind of person Fang Zhengyi is.
Even if I am just an ordinary businessman, according to Fang Zhengyi's style of doing things, it is unlikely that I would cheat.
However, these words remained in Emperor Jing's heart and were not spoken out loud.
Guo Tianyang was secretly delighted.
Okay! We just want to see how you, Fang Zhengyi, fall!
During all these years in the palace, I had to be humble only in front of the emperor. Even the cabinet ministers were respectful to me.
How dare you, a mere seventh-rank official, tease our family so many times?
It would be best if you fell into our hands and let the factory guards give you a good beating!
As he was thinking about it, Guo Tianyang laughed out loud, then quickly covered his mouth.
Emperor Jing glanced back at him and said calmly, "If you have those thoughts, you might as well hope that Fang Zhengyi can get things done."
"Guo Banban, I find that you are not doing your job anymore. As you get older, your mind has become as narrow as a needle tip."
"Fang Zhengyi only said something that offended you a few times. Why do you have to take it to heart? If you are like this... I can't leave the factory guards in your hands with peace of mind."
Guo Tianyang turned pale immediately, and immediately knelt down, arguing: "Your Majesty! I am innocent..."
"I am so happy that I can't help myself. I think that County Magistrate Fang can solve the flood problem immediately, which can also save your majesty a lot of worries!"
"I am happy for your majesty."
"What's more, County Magistrate Fang doesn't know my identity. As the saying goes, ignorance is not blame. Although I haven't read much, I still understand this principle."
Emperor Jing drank the tea in one gulp and slammed it heavily on the table.
"Get up! Go back to your room and kneel down." After saying that, Emperor Jing stood up and went straight back to his bedroom.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Emperor Jing return to the room, Guo Tianyang stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Staring at the teacup on the table in a daze.
Fang Zhengyi, this is Jian in the emperor's heart. His Majesty seems to have a better attitude towards Fang Zhengyi after this trip. What slander has this kid spread again! ?
No! I have to have a good relationship with him in the future!
