The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 90 I'm Your Father, You Still Asking How Big I Am

100 taels of silver for a copper coin.

At this time, Zheng Nian had more than 50 coins in his hand, together with the copper coins he had taken from the tailor earlier.

He never expected that this actually represented more than 5000 taels of silver.

The night wind is bleak.

The carriage walked slowly on the road, shaking and shaking, the rhythm was very natural.

With his eyes covered, Zheng Nian sat very calmly in the carriage, his hand was gently held by a slender palm.

"You know who I am." Zheng Nian said slowly.

"In Chang'an County, there are very few people who don't know Mr. Zheng." The woman's voice was still so gentle and confident.

"But I don't know who you are." Zheng Nian said.

"Me? My lord, you can just call me Jinling." The woman murmured.

"Golden Bell of the Golden Bell Casino?" Zheng Nian smiled.

The woman burst out laughing, "Did your lord think that I opened the casino?"

Zheng Nian didn't speak.

Generally, when a woman asks a question in such a context, the man doesn't have to speak, because they will start the introduction themselves.

"I am from Jiangnan. I was bought by my master and entered the Jinling Gambling House. I didn't have a name in the first place, and the master didn't bother to remember my name, so I named this gambling house." Some trembling.

It seems that whenever the master mentions it, her hands will tremble.

"Does this name sound nice to you?" Jin Ling asked, "Golden Bell is the bell at the door. I will ring if anyone shakes it, and I will not ring if no one shakes it."

Zheng Nian leaned on the back of the carriage, her hands were held by Jin Ling's. Her body was a little cold, her hands were already colder than Zheng Nian's, so Zheng Nian simply grabbed her hand in his palm.

"I lied to you and almost caused you to be in huge debts. You didn't scold me, but you still covered my hands?" Jin Ling asked puzzled.

"Why should I scold you, you are just a little bell." Zheng Nian smiled and shook his head, "You and I are both in this world, you are someone else's bell, I am also a bell, everyone is a bell."

"Then someone has to ring the bell." Jin Ling said.

"The person who is going to ring the bell must have a rope in someone else's hand." Zheng Nian said calmly.

"We're almost there." Jin Ling opened the curtain of the carriage, and the cold wind blew in front of Zheng Nian, as if trying to tear him apart.

The man holding Jin Ling got out of the carriage and entered a sealed environment. It was very dark and quiet, and there seemed to be no one there.Walked through a very long corridor, and finally sat on a chair.

The black cloth from Zheng Nian's eyes was also removed.

For a moment, he was a little distracted, and his eyes couldn't accept the candlelight around him.

After he got used to it completely, he saw two people sitting not far in front of him.

Jin Ling stood aside, serving tea and water.

The room is not big, and there are four people here at the same time, which seems a bit crowded.

Zheng Nian didn't speak, and looked at the two people in front of him calmly.

The man in a white fluffy cloak, his whole body looks a little thin, is holding a teacup in both hands, blowing the water in the cup.

The other person was lying on a rocking chair, covered with a thick goose down blanket, his eyelids didn't even bother to open.

After Jin Ling finished pouring the tea, she picked up the full teacup and an empty teacup, poured the tea together several times, picked it up and blew it, and then squatted down beside the person lying on the rocking chair, He took a sip and kissed the man's lips.

It seems to be feeding tea.

"He's a bit lazy, Mr. Zheng, don't take offense." The thin man's eyes were still in his teacup, his voice was very soft, not very confident, "He's too lazy to drink water by himself."

Zheng Nian nodded, "I see."

"He's too lazy to talk, so I'm here to talk to you." The man said.

"Who are you?" Zheng Nian asked.

"I have many identities, and each identity has a good story that is fabricated to be foolproof. Do you like listening to stories?" The man finally finished blowing the tea in his hand and took a sip.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Chang'an County. Some people are giant pythons in the jungle. If no one provokes them, they are self-sufficient. If someone offends them, they can swallow them in one gulp and nothing will be lost." Zheng Nian smiled, "But there are also People are like foxes pretending to be tigers, and to put it bluntly, they are like dogs relying on people's power."

"Both of these words are not pleasant." Jin Ling stroked her lips and smiled.

"It seems that Mr. Zheng is a person who loves to tell stories." The man put the teacup on the table and said calmly.

"I like to tell stories, and I prefer to listen to them. But telling a story without wine is tasteless. Listening to a story without wine is even more tasteless. No matter how good a story is, there must be wine. Whether it is listening or telling, there is a taste. .” Zheng Nian said.

Jin Ling clapped her hands.

A group of servants came in and put a jar of wine in the room.

The room was already cramped, so it was impossible to get out of it.

Zheng Nian was about to reach out to grab it, but Jin Ling said, "This is wine for sale, not gift wine. Master Zheng wants to drink it, so he has to spend money to buy it."

"How much?" Zheng Nian asked.

"No more, no less, a copper plate." Jin Ling said.

"Okay." Zheng Nian took out a copper plate and threw it at Jinling, then grabbed the wine jar and uncovered the seal.

The aroma of the wine was overflowing, "It's really good wine."

"My lord wants to drink alone?" the man asked, but his eyes fell on the chair beside Zheng Nian.

"Otherwise?" Zheng Nian asked.

"There is another friend who is coming soon, why don't you wait for him?" the man asked.

"Since we are friends, we must wait." Zheng Nian put the wine jar on the ground.

Sure enough, a person walked in from the door, it was Liu Yunzhou.

The long black knife was still on his body, and now there was another black cloth strip wrapped around his face. When the cloth strip was removed, he did not open his eyes, as if after the light and eyes had fully adapted , and then slowly opened.

"Buy me a drink." His opening line is as idiosyncratic as his person.

Liu Yunzhou stood beside the chair and did not sit down, his eyes were on Zheng Nian.

"I have rules when I invite others to drink." Zheng Nian said.

"Tell me." Liu Yunzhou smiled.

"You have to drink well, you have to get drunk, if you don't get drunk and drink well, then you can't drink." Zheng Nian said.

"No problem." Liu Yunzhou grabbed a jar of wine and lifted the seal.

"Sure enough, good wine."

Zheng Nian took out all the copper coins on his body, a total of 57, pointed to the person in front of him and said, "Everyone in the room must drink."

"Okay." The man also grabbed a jar of wine.

The three immediately looked up and wiped out all the wine in the wine jar.

Zheng Nian grabbed the second wine jar and said with a smile, "Let me tell a story."

"Good!" Liu Yunzhou said, "I like listening to stories the most. If there is good wine, I don't know if there are good stories."

"Of course." Zheng Nian said with a smile, "A long time ago, there was a wine merchant who had a very special ability, that is, he could tell the place of origin, year, water and soil, and ingredients of this wine just by tasting it. "

"What's so strange?" Liu Yunzhou asked.

"How can ordinary people know such abilities?" Zheng Nian laughed.

"What can Mr. Zheng taste of this wine?" Liu Yunzhou asked.

"I can only taste good wine." Zheng Nian laughed loudly, picked up the wine jar in his hand, and took three more gulps.

"This is the water from Yuquan Mountain in the west of Beijing. It is mixed with five grains and six grains. It goes into the warm wine vat, and after ten years of aging, it can be released from this jar." Liu Yunzhou said.

"Jade Spring Mountain in the west of Beijing?" Zheng Nian was taken aback, "Isn't that the water used by the royal family?"

"Of course it is the water used by the royal family. If the common people drink it, even seventeen households will be seated, and the entire street will be beheaded." Liu Yunzhou expressed surprise.

"So who can take out the water from Yuquan Mountain to make wine?" Zheng Nian was shocked.

At this moment, both Jin Ling and the man's faces were ashen.

"Of course the Ministry of Industry has this ability." Liu Yunzhou nodded, "The Ministry of Industry and the garrison are responsible for the transportation of water trucks. If the garrison takes it away, the Ministry of Industry will naturally find out. I don't know."

"So this is from the Ministry of Industry..." Zheng Nian only half-spoken.

"Enough!" The man stood up, and the velvet white cloak fell to the ground.

Both Zheng Nian and Liu Yunzhou had smiles on their faces.

"Zheng Nian, I hope..." This time, the man only spoke half of what he said.

"I said before that when I invite others to drink, they must drink, not only to get drunk, but also to drink well." Zheng Nian's smile was still there, but his eyes were extremely cold.

"Do you think a county magistrate is big?" the man gritted his teeth and said viciously.

"There is another name for the county magistrate, do you know?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Chang'an County Parents Officer." Liu Yunzhou said.

"Are you from Chang'an County?" Zheng Nian turned to look at Liu Yunzhou.

Liu Yunzhou shook his head.

"Then are you from Chang'an County?" Zheng Nian asked the man again.

Men don't speak.

"If you don't speak, it's tacit consent." Zheng Nian smiled, "I'm your father now, why don't you ask me if I'm old?"

"You!" The man was furious.

Zheng Nian was unmoved at all, and flied in front of the person lying on the rocking chair in an instant, looking down at his hair-covered head.

I pressed it down.

It was a corpse, a long-dead corpse.

Liu Yunzhou walked over, lifted the corpse's head, and saw a snow-white face.

And it was this movement that followed the trend, and there was an extra note in Zheng Nian's palm.
