Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

That smile made Fang Zheng Yi's heart tremble.

His speaking rhythm became somewhat disordered: "If Your Highness likes it, I'll escort you back to your room..."

"Ah?!" Li Miao Han covered her small mouth in surprise, taking a step backward.

Several matrons around her glared at Fang Zheng Yi.

What are you trying to do?

Fang Zheng Yi awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Oh! Princess, please don't misunderstand. The inn in Peach Blossom County is different from those outside. There are many novel things I want to introduce to Your Highness to avoid any misunderstandings."

"Or, I can take the matrons up first to explain..."

"Ahem, ahem, no need, I trust Lord Fang... Let's go up together."

After going upstairs, Fang Zheng Yi meticulously introduced the facilities in the room to Li Miao Han. Naturally, mentioning the toilet made the princess blush with shyness.

The several matrons accompanying her had already successfully labeled Fang Zheng Yi as a rogue.

However, Young Master Fang didn't care about that. He just liked seeing the princess blush!

Now that he had salvaged his image with the princess, everything would be settled with His Majesty tomorrow when the sweet potatoes were dug up!

Everyone could pretend nothing happened, and Fang Zheng Yi would still be a paragon of virtue!

..........

After settling the princess, Fang Zheng Yi trotted all the way back to the theater entrance.

Ao Chen, that fellow, was still waiting at the entrance to take credit. As soon as Fang Zheng Yi saw him, he angrily grabbed him by the collar.

He roared: "Who the hell told you to change the Tale of the White Snake like this?!"

Ao Chen was somewhat baffled and said in confusion: "What's wrong, Master? It was performed normally according to your instructions. Now everyone in the county is watching the Tale of the White Snake. It's extremely popular. Is there a problem?"

"I'm asking you, who changed it!?!"

"Wu... Master Wu changed it!" Ao Chen was about to cry. It seemed that something major had happened to Master.

Master Wu? Fang Zheng Yi frowned: "Is there such a person in the county? How come I've never heard of him?"

"It's Wu Sheng!"

"Wu Sheng? That dog thing became a master just a few months after I left?" Fang Zheng Yi was deeply shocked.

"Yes, now half of the traffic in the county's brothels is supported by him. Many people can't even hire him to write things even if they pay! He's very famous in the county and has made a fortune early on..."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng Yi's teeth itched with hatred. That damned thing actually ambushed me!

He gritted his teeth and said: "Parody is not nonsense, and adaptation is not random fabrication! Did you ask Master me before changing the Tale of the White Snake to this state? And what about that Legend of Ji Gong, did he change that too? This is called copyright infringement! Go to his house tomorrow to collect copyright fees! Deduct half!"

"Also, where is that dog thing now?"

Ao Chen quickly said: "He's at the research institute. I heard that he's encountered a bottleneck in his creation and is going to the research institute to find inspiration without writing anything. He sponsored the research institute with three thousand taels, and the county government arranged an extra-establishment position for him...."

Fang Zheng Yi's expression softened: "He's sensible... I'll settle accounts with you tomorrow!"

"You, immediately arrange for a batch of painters now, and wake up those who are already asleep. Go to Snow Moon Tower and clearly and distinctly draw everyone who went there tonight!"

"I want to see if there are any hypocrites, and see if they dare to impeach me in the future!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the county government office.

................

The next morning, after Fang Zheng Yi had breakfast, he went straight to Youjian Inn.

He was too tired yesterday, and a group of old men shouldn't be able to get up so quickly.

Sure enough, when he arrived, he found that Emperor Jing, Guo Tianyang, and Li Yuanzhao had actually run out to eat at roadside stalls, with only a few guards following them.

It was evident that no other ministers had gotten out of bed.

After waiting for a long time in the inn, he didn't see His Majesty return. He only saw many servants carrying buckets of water in and out of the inn to replenish the water tower.

Fang Zheng Yi asked the shopkeeper in puzzlement: "What's wrong? Is the water tower built too small? Why are there so many people carrying water?"

The shopkeeper was also puzzled: "That's impossible! It was all designed well in the beginning. Flushing ten or eight times in a room is not a problem, and our water tanks are kept full every day..."

"Master, could it be that the officials from the capital are particularly good at eating!"

Good at eating? He didn't see them eat much yesterday. They were all old men, how much could they eat?

Just then, Emperor Jing returned from outside with a few people.

Upon seeing Fang Zheng Yi, he greeted him with a smile.

Seeing this, Fang Zheng Yi also felt relieved. As expected of the emperor, his psychological quality was good.

His worldview was immediately rebuilt after a night.

Li Yuanzhao stealthily approached and winked at Fang Zheng Yi: "Old Fang! Snow Moon Tower, exciting!"

"Your county has that whatchamacallit iron spear dance... Why didn't you tell this prince earlier?"

"? ? ?"

"What iron spear dance?"

He could understand if the second dimension liked cosplay, but he had never heard of the iron spear dance.

Li Yuanzhao smiled lewdly: "It's just... an iron spear is nailed to the stage, and women dance around the spear, winding around it... Tsk tsk tsk, the White Snake who wound around it yesterday was truly worthy of being a snake demon, amazing!"

"I heard that Wu Sheng came up with it, a talent! Such a talent should be introduced to the Eastern Palace!"

Fang Zheng Yi blinked.

An iron spear stuck on the stage... Pole dancing?

Damn it, it's Wu Sheng again! My Peach Blossom County has been turned into a smoky mess by him!

"Your Highness! It's better for our Peach Blossom County to digest such talents ourselves. I'm afraid the Eastern Palace can't handle it!"

"Tch! This prince is going upstairs to catch up on some sleep. I didn't sleep well last night. Call me when it's time to leave." Li Yuanzhao yawned and walked upstairs, looking extremely tired. He didn't know what happened last night.

Fang Zheng Yi quickly stopped him: "Don't go, let me ask you, where are the others? Are they all still asleep?"

Li Yuanzhao suddenly realized, then smiled slyly: "I almost forgot. If you're talking about this, I'm not sleepy at all!"

"Last night was so wonderful. You don't know, I went to see them door to door, and they all actually treated the toilet as a well.... Hahahaha! Idiots!"

"Some people even thought it was some magical well water and asked the waiter for a gourd to fetch a gourd back to the capital. It's so funny."

"Everyone had diarrhea this morning!"

"............" Thinking of a group of important ministers in the court drinking toilet water together, Fang Zheng Yi couldn't help but shudder.

Damn it, I said it felt like I forgot something yesterday!
