Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 53 Do good deeds without leaving a name
However, it would be impossible for Zhang Yifan to go back in despair after being told so much.

The county magistrate's threat didn't go well, so Li You stepped forward on his own.He looked at Zhang Yifan and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense. You impersonated someone from the Duke of Zheng's palace. This is a serious crime. Do you think you can escape?"

Would Zhang Yifan be afraid if he was charged with this crime?

On the spot, he just laughed and let go completely: "You dare to say that I am pretending to be someone from Zheng Guogong's palace. Where is the evidence? Otherwise, I will also sue you for false accusation and defamation!"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the county magistrate and said, "Master County, we have so many eyes watching, if you dare to cover up, you will be punished!"

"..." The county magistrate was a little confused, who am I?where am I?who is he?Why do you feel like you are the most powerless country boy?
Perhaps it was Zhang Yifan's performance that gave confidence to the villagers of Liujia Village. Their fear of being an official has dissipated a lot.

At this time, after Zhang Yifan finished speaking, they started talking one by one, and their voices were louder than the other.

"The villain testifies that Yifan really did not lie!"

"Yes, even a villain can testify that Yifan is definitely not cheating!"

"Young master and young lady from the city come here often. How could there be any mistake?"

"Yes, look at their entourage. All of them carry knives. How can they be fake?"

"Needless to say, I have already asked, and the carpenter who works with me belongs to Duke Zheng's house!"

"..."

In the cement workshop, there were hundreds of people standing inside and outside. Every word you and I spoke, coupled with the local accent, suddenly became a loud noise, making a lot of noise and momentum.

Seeing this scene, Li You's face turned gloomy.

If it is just Zhang Yifan and a few others, even if Zhang Yifan has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, then it doesn't matter, just arrest them directly.

However, with hundreds of people surrounding him, if he dared to catch him, even if he could be captured, the matter would definitely become a big deal.

Although Li You and others had their own little thoughts when dealing with the imperial power, they definitely knew what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was. Once a civil uprising really broke out, it was hard to say what the outcome would be.

Even if he was just dismissed from his post, reprimanded and fined, and these country people were sentenced to death, he would still be unwilling to do so.

Before coming here, he had never thought that it would be so difficult to get the property in the hands of a group of country people.If it were anyone else who wanted to be an official, he would have offered this cement on his own initiative without him having to do anything, right?
An uneducated country man is just a fool, which is really difficult to deal with!
He was thinking about it. His henchman Li Laifu was already very angry. He was surrounded by such a group of country people. Is there any way for Wang Fa?
So, he strode out, pointed at Zhang Yifan, and shouted sharply: "My young master has personally gone to Zheng Guogong's mansion and asked Zheng Guogong for verification. Zheng Guogong doesn't even know you, Zhang Yifan, or Liujia Village, you! What else can I say?"

As soon as he said these words, the scene suddenly became quiet.

What's the meaning?Zheng Guogong said no?

It's impossible, right?
After all, when Zhu Jingjing, Zhu Di, and the Crown Princess came over before, the ostentation was not fake, and the craftsmen, supplies, etc. that were transferred were also real.

No, after a moment of silence, Erniu said loudly in the crowd: "Is your eldest young master able to meet Zheng Guogong just as he wants? Do you think we have no brains?"

Upon hearing this, the people in Liujia Village did not believe it, so they immediately agreed.

"That's right, Duke Zheng is the legitimate son of King Kaiping after our great achievements in founding the Ming Dynasty. Can ordinary people see him?"

"Even if you are an official, is it possible that you can meet Duke Zheng casually?" "Young master from Duke Zheng's residence, miss, we see each other often, how can we still have a lie?"

“After all, you still want our cement, don’t think we don’t know!”

"..."

Amidst all the noise, Zhang Yifan, the person involved, was a little confused.

Because he knew that looking at this posture, these people would not have just made this excuse casually.But the key question is that I did ask, those people are from Duke Zheng's house!

Could it be, is there some misunderstanding?

This seems unlikely, right?
While he was thinking about it, Li Laifu was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves, pointed at Li You, and shouted: "Shut up, you country bumpkins, do you know who my eldest young master is?"

Hearing him shouting so fiercely, the villagers in Liujia Village shut up.They were also a little curious and wanted to hear, who is this person?

I saw this Li Laifu introduce in a pretentious manner: "My eldest young master's father is the Prime Minister of Taipu Temple, his uncle is the most meritorious Duke of Korea in the Ming Dynasty, and my eldest young master's wife's uncle is the prime minister of the current dynasty!"

As for Li You's own official position, he did not introduce it, because compared with these names that have been introduced, they can be ignored.

As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted triumphantly: "You think it's not easy for my eldest young master to meet Duke Zheng?"

After he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence inside and outside the cement workshop.

No one expected that the person who wanted cement had such a powerful background!

Even people from the countryside have heard of the name of the Korean Duke.The greatest hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
As for the prime minister, he has little deterrent effect on them. After all, these are rural people and not officials.

It is indeed not difficult for a person with such a big background to meet Zheng Guogong.Another point is, it’s impossible for someone with such a big background to lie, right?

But when this happened, they were all dumbfounded.

If what this person said is true, then who is the lady from a wealthy family they often see?Whose family has the manpower and material resources that have been supporting Liujiacun?

It's impossible for someone to do good deeds without leaving their name and impersonate the Duke of Zheng, right?

At this time, Zhang Yifan was even more confused.

This is Li Shanchang's nephew and Hu Weiyong's nephew and son-in-law. This is even more important. No wonder if you take refuge in him, you will be able to maintain your prosperity and wealth!

In the ninth year of Hongwu, Li Shanchang's eldest son wanted to marry Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter, and the momentum reached its peak.

As far as their family's power is concerned, there is no need to lie.

Then the question comes, who is my future wife?
After doing this for a long time, I still don’t know who my wife is. It’s so embarrassing!

He was thinking about it. When the county magistrate saw that Li You's identity had subdued these country bumpkins, he quickly ordered: "Come on, arrest this liar and take him back to the Yamen for interrogation!"

　The Spring Festival is here. I wish everyone good health and all the best in the new year!During the Spring Festival holiday, updates will be added every day. I hope you will support me!
