Silver and goods, all are happy. Congratulations to Eunuch Qian for purchasing such a pearl for His Majesty.”
Master Yao stuffed a contract and one tael of silver into Old Man Liu’s arms, then bowed and tended to step in front of Eunuch Qian, respectfully handing over another contract with both hands to Eunuch Qian’s hands, fawningly complimenting.
“Congratulations to Eunuch Qian for getting what he wanted.”County Superintendent Zhang, Li Danshi, and a group of officials all followed suit.
“Hehe, great goodness. You guys have a heart, and for everything you’ve done, the miscellaneous family will not forget.”
Eunuch Qian handed the deed to the little eunuch beside him to put it away, and said to County Minister Zhang and the others with a smile on his face.
For a while, the post house was filled with laughter. Of course, except for Old Man Liu. Liu old man was forced to buy and sell the family heirloom, old tears on his face, pounding his chest, “You can’t do this, I’m not selling, I’m not selling ah ……”
Naturally, no one paid any attention to Old Man Liu.
“Why hasn’t Lord Zhu come yet? Eunuch Cong has been gone for so long, according to the footsteps, he should have arrived long ago.”
In the midst of all the merriment, Master Yao pinched his fingers and intentionally or unintentionally mumbled to himself in front of Eunuch Qian.
After the pearls arrived, Eunuch Qian’s heart was originally joyful, but as soon as he heard Zhu Pingan’s name, his mood was not happy again, this Zhu Pingan, really toast, but not to be punished, even so lightly treated in me.
“Not to mention the fact that he did not go to the city gate to welcome Eunuch Qian, now that Eunuch Cong specifically went to invite, he will not still not come, right? He, Zhu Pingan, has too big of a rack, doesn’t he, not even giving face to Eunuch Qian.”
“We’re really upset for Eunuch Qian.”
A cadre of Xu officials were adding fuel to the fire.
Hearing the crowd fanning the flames, Eunuch Qian’s mood worsened.
Just as the crowd was denigrating Zhu Pingan, a sound of footsteps came from outside the post house, and then Zhu Pingan’s figure was seen appearing in the doorway, with more than thirty magistrates such as Liu Dazhou and Liu Dahammer following behind him.
“Ah, Zhu Pingan!”
“Zhu Pingan is here!”
A cadre of xuxu officials shouted out of breath.
Upon hearing the words of the xuxu officials, Eunuch Qian looked up at the doorway and knew that this one dressed in the official uniform of the governor was Zhu Pingan.
“Ta-Jen Zhu, why are you just coming, Eunuch Qian has been waiting for you for quite some time.”
County Minister Zhang stepped forward as soon as Zhu Pingan showed his face and stood beside Eunuch Qian, questioning first.
“Ta-Jen Zhu, your frame is also too big, right, let Eunuch Qian repeatedly send people to invite before you reward your face ……”
A cadre of Xuxu officials had helped to accuse Zhu Pingan, they were conscious that they had Eunuch Qian to do the honours for them, and were not afraid of Zhu Pingan in the slightest.
“Zhu Pingan, where is the county record that I want? Quickly present it to the miscellaneous family.”
Eunuch Qian sat on the human chair where the little eunuch was kneeling on his stomach, pinching his orchid finger and pointing at Zhu Pingan from afar, with a big-brother stance, he said in a commanding manner.
In the next second, they all froze, watching as Zhu Pingan passed in front of them, hanging without hanging them.
Zhu Pingan actually turned a blind eye and ignored them.
Eunuch Qian and the others were petrified.
Zhu Pingan simply did not hang them, ignored them, and once he entered the post house, he went straight to Liu Dianliang, who was hanging from a tree. Seeing that Dignitary Liu was in a sorry state, with rags stuffed in his mouth and bruises all over his body, Zhu Pingan and his party were enraged.
“Quickly untie Dignitary Liu. Doctor, quickly, treat Dignitary Liu’s injuries.”Zhu Pingan suppressed his anger and commanded.
Liu Dabao and the others answered and came forward, carefully supporting Dignitary Liu, untied Dignitary Liu and removed the rags from his mouth.
“County Dignitary, my humble servant is incompetent, failed to watch over the post house, and was broken into the post house ……”Dignitary Liu braced himself and arched his hand.
“Dignitary Liu you did a good job, quick, lie down and let the doctor look at your injuries, leave the next to me.”
Zhu Pingan stepped forward to support Dignitary Liu, patted his shoulder and encouraged him with concern, letting him lie down at ease.
“Zhu! Ping! An!”
The handkerchief in Eunuch Qian’s hand was almost clenched to pieces as he gritted his teeth and looked at Zhu Pingan, his face turning blue.
“Lord Zhu, what are you doing? Eunuch Qian is here, why don’t you quickly pay your respects to Eunuch Qian.”
County Honour Zhang shouted at Zhu Pingan.
“This County Honour of ours has a really big frame of mind, to the extent that he doesn’t even put Eunuch Qian in his eyes ……”
Naturally, the cadre of dismissed xuxu officials would not let go of this opportunity, once again fanning the flames in front of Eunuch Qian.
Zhu Pingan still ignored them and watched with concern as the doctor examined Dignitary Liu’s body and examined the wounds.
“Doctor, how is Dignitary Liu’s condition?”Zhu Pingan asked the doctor with concern.
“Back to County Honour. Dignitary Liu’s injuries look serious, but fortunately, after my examination, I found that Dignitary Liu’s injuries are all superficial wounds, and did not injure his tendons and bones, and that he will be able to recover in ten days and half a month.”
After examining the doctor, he said back to Zhu Pingan.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief and was quite relieved in his heart before he turned his gaze towards Eunuch Qian and the others who had been barking like dogs for half a day.
“Zhu Qingtian, I beg the Great Lord of Qingtian to do right by my old man, they forcefully bought and sold my old man’s ancestral pearl. That pearl is my Liu family’s heirloom, when I refused to sell it, they first beat my old man severely for several times, then they grabbed my old man’s hand and forced him to press his handprints on the contract they had drawn up, with the blood on his face. Lao’er’s ancestral pearl, once a merchant offered one hundred and fifty taels of silver, Lao’er didn’t even sell it, but they only gave one or two taels of silver. This is the deed they drafted, along with the one or two silver pieces. I beg the Grand Master of Zhi County to do the honours for Lao’er, ah, and help Lao’er reclaim the ancestral pearl.”
Taking advantage of the fact that Eunuch Qian and the others had no time to pay attention to him, Old Man Liu knelt down on the ground and crawled all the way over, plopping down in front of Zhu Pingan, bawling his eyes out as he presented the deed as well as the one or two pieces of silver, begging Zhu Pingan to be his judge.
Although Zhu Pingan served in Jingnan not long, but since the post, the righteous release of people in arrears of grain, cleverly solved the case of suspicion, God judge the case, sleep on the wall vowed to live and die with the Jingnan, the bloody battle of the Japanese, the miracle of the Jingnan, recovered the peace …….He had a great reputation among the folk of Jingnan, and was known as Zhu Qingtian and Zhu Parent, so Old Man Liu would be so excited to see Zhu Pingan, mouthing the name of Zhu Qingtian and begging for Zhu Pingan to do the right thing for him.
“Old man, please rise, this official will do the honours for you.”
Zhu Pingan took the contract and one or two silver coins presented by Old Man Liu and helped Old Man Liu up with both hands.
After Zhu Pingan settled Liu Lao Han, he unfolded the contract, that bloodstained handprint on the contract was exceptionally eye-catching, after reading the content of the contract, Zhu Pingan knew that this matter was a typical case of forced purchase and sale as Liu Lao Han had said.
“Zhu Pingan! You bully people too much!”
At this moment, Eunuch Qian could no longer hold back, stretching out his orchid finger to point at Zhu Pingan, trembling with anger.
“Eunuch Qian calm down, Eunuch Qian calm down, Zhu Pingan, why don’t you come and pay your respects to Eunuch Qian!”County Minister Zhang and the others were accusing Zhu Pingan, not even calling him “Your Excellency”, but directly calling him by his name.
Finally, under their attacks, Eunuch Qian saw that Zhu Pingan finally looked at him and was about to scold Zhu Pingan again.
However, he saw Zhu Pingan reach out and point at them, and droned, “Someone come, tie up that villain for me!”
Ah?
Ha?
Villain? Me?
Eunuch Qian followed Zhu Pingan’s finger and gaze for a moment, incredulously reaching out and pointing at himself, instantly trembling with anger, exploding in place in a general furious rage, “Thief, how dare you!”
