He thought he had convinced Young Master Rong Li to accompany him to expose the counterfeit.
Now that I think about it, it was just the opposite: he was being played around with by others.
Exposing a fake nobleman not only gains the support of other nobles, but also allows one to accept the fiefdom, wealth, and civilians of this fake nobleman.
If the other party is not a fake, then he will become the other party's gift of apology.
After figuring it out, Jin Fu felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, chilling him from head to toe.
"Let's go, follow the master."
Master Rongli stepped forward, and his followers urged Jin Fu to follow.
Jin Fu looked around and found that these guards had been guarding on both sides of him, as if to prevent him from escaping.
Master Rong Li walked into Qucheng with great interest.
He looked at the road under his feet and found something wrong. He squatted down and scratched it. It was very hard, like a natural stone slab laid on the ground.
After being helped to his feet by the guards beside him, he asked, "What is this? There are such large stone slabs used to pave the road?"
"It seems that this Qucheng City Lord has some abilities."
"Wontons, wontons for sale, delicious wontons, thin skin and thick meat."
After taking just two steps, I smelled the fragrance in the air and looked over following the hawking sounds.
There were a few men in shorts making the wontons at the stall, eating them with a look of savoring relish on their faces.
When the stall owner saw several people approaching and saw that Young Master Rong Li was well-dressed and looked fat, he knew that he must be the son of a wealthy family.
"My dear gentlemen, would you like a bowl of delicious wontons with thin skin and thick meat? This is a delicacy from our City Lord's Mansion. It is not available anywhere else, not even at the feet of the Emperor."
He said proudly: "This is unique in our Qucheng!"
From the fat on Master Rongli's body, one can infer that he is an extremely glutton.
He quickly sat down and asked the boss to bring him a few bowls of wontons.
"Be careful, sir, these are just taken out of the pot." The boss was a little afraid of the sword-wielding guards around Master Rong Li, so he carefully stepped back after saying this.
The people around Master Rong Li wanted to help him test the poison, but he slapped them away. "This trip was a last-minute decision, and he had no chance to communicate with anyone along the way. Who would have known I was here?"
He glanced at Jin Fu.
After taking a bite of the wonton, Jin Fu wanted to swallow his tongue.
He was not a person who was particular about food, and he didn't expect that a small roadside vendor could make such delicious food.
Jin Fu: "..."
I should have avoided this revenge earlier. He felt a little regretful.
The last time he spent a night exploring the City Lord's Mansion, he had felt that guy's caution.
I didn't expect him to be so particular about food. Is this the behavior of a commoner in Nomura?!
Jin Fu was full of worries about this trip. He saw that Master Rong Li visited a steamed bun shop and a roujiamo shop.
He also went to a restaurant and ate some silver sprout tofu, boiled cabbage, braised pork and other dishes he had never heard of before. He felt that the future was even darker.
What kind of common people are these? How can common people have so many ingredients to create delicious food?!
Not many civilians can eat enough, let alone waste food to indulge in delicious food!
He could clearly feel that Master Rong Li and the guards around him were looking at him with increasing vigilance.
No, he had to find a way. He was penniless and had lost everything. If he still couldn't expose the identity of this impostor, then what was the point of coming all this way?
Yes, expose it to his face! He is one of the people around the Marquis who is most familiar with that loser, and Master Rong Li must know this.
When the time comes, he will tell us something about that loser. As long as the fake can't tell it, it will prove that he is a fake!
Young Master Rong Li had been eating and drinking along the way, and he felt the urge to urinate. He found a place to urinate, but suddenly turned around and found that several people were staring at them. He was so scared that his hands trembled and the liquid wet his clothes.
Young Master Rong Li frowned and turned to straighten his clothes. The guard stepped forward and asked warily, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Who wants to follow you? I want to see if you want to urinate or defecate anywhere!" The aunt was a little scared, but still said bravely:
"You look like you're from out of town, don't you? Our masters have an order that no one can urinate or defecate at will. If you're caught, you'll be fined. I just saw it. You have to follow me to pay the fine."
The aunt's eyes revealed not only surprise but also contempt, as if to say, you look well-dressed, but I didn't expect you to urinate and defecate anywhere.
Master Rong Li felt a little ashamed after understanding the aunt's eyes. He was a nobleman, but he had fallen to the point of being accused of lacking etiquette by common people.
He straightened his clothes and asked politely, "We are merchants from outside the area. We don't know the rules here. We apologize for the offense."
"Where can I pay that fine?"
It's just a penny, so just pay it. If you run away and get caught by the mayor of Qucheng, it will not only be a shameful thing.
It was already rude of him to come privately without paying a visit, and he also violated other people's rules and ran away. If it got out, it would only bring shame to his father.
All this is based on the premise that the other party is indeed a noble. If not, he still has a chance to save face.
The aunt happily brought them to the fine payment office. According to the number of people, Master Rongli gave a fine of ten cents.
Then they saw the man who collected their fine turn around and give the ten cents to the aunts and the others, and they immediately understood why that man dared to come forward and offend them.
The person at the fine payment office glanced at Master Rong Li and the others and said, "We in Qucheng welcome everyone to come and visit us, provided that they abide by our Qucheng rules."
"There will be people watching everywhere in the city."
The guards around Master Rong Li were immediately furious and accepted to pay the fine since they were the ones who made the mistake first.
But what was the identity of this person in front of them? He was just a minor official, how dare he warn their young master?
At a glance from Master Rong Li, the furious guard quickly suppressed the emotion on his face, lowered his head and retreated.
"I understand." Young Master Rong Li smiled gently.
After they left, the clerk's calf cramped due to excessive tension, and it took him a long time to recover.
He patted his chest and said, "Oh my god, who are these people? Their aura is really scary."
"No, I have to tell the adults."
He walked out of the room, asked someone to watch over him for a while, and limped towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The whereabouts of Master Rong Li and his group were too conspicuous. In an era when people could not even get enough food, there were very few people who could eat as much as he did.
In addition, they came from other places. Although Qucheng has been completely renovated and has all kinds of new things, and local merchants will take some out to sell, the journey is long and the transportation is not well developed, so it should not attract the attention of the nobles.
