The sky is cloudless, the sun is shining brightly, and the spring breeze in March swept across the south of the Yangtze River. Even this small Yongkang County town seems full of vitality.

Yongkang County East Street is the most prosperous street in the county town. Almost all the shops in Yongkang are concentrated here. Although there are more than a dozen markets around Yongkang, the markets are not available every day, so the people are willing to come to the county town to stroll around anything.

However, the county town is the county town. Now it is already noon. The East Street is sparsely pedestrians. An old farmer, wearing a straw hat, rolling his legs in his trousers, his straw sandals are covered with yellow mud, holding a buffalo, carrying a hoe, walking leisurely on the East Street, from time to time, touching the bag hanging on his chest.

There is a hanging of money in the bag, which is all his savings. He is planning to buy a long life lock for his grandson who is about to weave a full moon at the jewelry store. He can't afford gold and silver, but brass can still be afforded. If he has money or not, what do other people's children have? His grandson should have it. Who makes this person's heart grow face down?

Of course, the second thing is to buy an iron bell for the newly added calf to avoid getting lost.

"Touch..." A second kick in the sky exploded, and then the old man heard the gongs and drums in front of him, and firecrackers were ringing. He thought that the team of the marriage was hurriedly pulling Huang and leaning against both sides.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. I could hear the sound of singing operas. The old man thought, who will hold his birthday? I remember that when the old man of the Zhang family celebrated his birthday a few years ago, he sang a grand opera for seven days, and it was so satisfying to watch.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly led the cow and left as he listened to the lively movement. As a result, when he arrived, he was stunned.

"It turns out that it's open. I have only heard of the festivals and festivals and there are happy events. Why do you also start the show? This is too big!" The old man was a little confused.

It turned out that the cloth shop in front of me has changed its door face, and now there is a huge golden plaque of "Yiren Fang" hanging. There are many people standing at the door, but I don't know what they are joking about.

"The magistrate is here." At this time, I heard someone singing in the distance.

The old farmer hurriedly hid and saw the magistrate get out of the sedan chair. At this time, a young man who was only twelve or thirteen years old came out of Yirenfang. The magistrate talked and laughed to him. Looking at the magistrate who always looked arrogant on weekdays, he is now talking to this guy with a polite attitude.

The old farmer couldn't help but talk to the lively people and asked, "Who is that kid? Why is it so popular?"

"Oh, don't you know yet? That's a big celebrity in our county, Zhang Mu, who just won the case. Look at the business, it's just opened by someone." Passerby smiled.

"You said that this rich man doesn't study hard, what business does? Isn't it better to win the top scorer in the future than earning a few hundred dollars?" the old man frowned and said.

"You don't understand now. The rich man still thinks he has too much money? I heard that he will give something for nothing in a while."

As they were talking, the gongs and drums rang, and the troupe began to sing operas. More and more people were watching the excitement, and they rushed towards the stage.

"This is a spendthrift." The old man thought disdainfully.

"Yifeng Township Yan's family, Old Master Yan is here to send you happiness." At this time, the old man suddenly heard a dense gong and drum beat. A lion dance team stepped on the drum beat and arrived at the gate of Yirenfang. The lion dance team began to perform.

He knew about the Yan family in Yifeng Township. He was a famous rich man and a very kind person. Unexpectedly, he had an intersection with the Zhang family.

Before the lion dance was finished, I heard another joy in the distance, and then someone shouted: "Mr. Wang, the prefect of Jinhua Prefecture, sent a golden plaque to the sun."

The old man turned around and saw two yamen riders rolling over and dismounting, holding a plaque to the door of the store. Before this was finished, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "The prefect of Chuzhou Prefecture sends a pair of Zhaocai Doufang."

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but amazed. Why did this kid make friends with some noble people at a young age?

But before I finished thinking, I heard someone shouting: "Shanghai Chuzhou soldiers are preparing for the road, and Deputy Envoy Li of the Criminal Office gave a golden pig."

"Zhou Tiju, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Salt Course Department, gave a pair of painted gold doufang."

"Jiangzhe Chengcheng announced that the Political Envoy Wang Tanzheng sent a pair of Baoyu pendants."

Hearing this, even though Zhang Mu was a little stunned, it was not over yet. Then someone shouted: "A gift from Lord Jianshi Qian, the commander of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Metropolitan Commander."

Now, the county magistrate Zhang was a little stunned. He commanded the military and political power of the province and did not take local officials seriously at all. He actually sent people to send gifts. Not to mention that Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chenggong announced the Political Envoy Department, the Criminal Censorate Department all came to send gifts, and even the officials of the Salt Department gave gifts. It can be seen that Zhang Mu's identity as the Jinyiwei is most likely true.

Zhang Mu listened to others singing the gift list, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

It has been five or six days since I returned from the Mountain Temple. During these five or six days, Zhang Mu almost never left the door and did not step into the two doors, and he was devoted to studying making soap at home.

Zhang Mu found that caustic soda can be made by using alkali noodles used as steamed buns, quicklime and water. With caustic soda, it can be better than soda made from lyrosine, with higher transparency and stronger detergent ability.

However, a lot of things have happened in the past few days. Since the arrest of the Song County Magistrate, a bloody storm has occurred in Jinhua Prefecture.

First, the thousand households in Jinhua were captured, the thousand households were hanged, and one thousand households were beheaded, and more than 300 people were exiled, which shocked the local area.

Immediately afterwards, the Tongzhi of Jinhua Prefecture was a magistrate, and the beheading was used as a grass. Several magistrates around Jinhua Prefecture should not be arrested. I still don’t know whether it is life or death.

After the incident, County Magistrate Zhang ran away from Zhang Mu's house like a scattered person. Fortunately, Zhang Mu comforted him and comforted him. It was better these days, but things were still fermenting.

Now the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang officialdom is in panic, because the Jinyiwei, who made them frightened, suddenly came back overnight.

Just when they were slamming like headless flies, they didn't know where to release the wind, saying that Zhang Mu, Zhang from the Zhang family in Yongkang County, Jinhua Prefecture, was related to this case.

So in the next five or six days, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang officialdom asked Zhang Magistrate. It didn't matter if he found out the whole story. After they studied it, they decisively felt that Zhang Mu had a problem.

So, a small rouge in Yongkang County opened, and today's puzzling scene appeared.

"Brother Zhang, why are you unhappy so many officials giving you gifts?" Tao Xingchang stood beside Zhang Mu and asked quietly.

"I'm so happy. I've just been preparing for a few days of stable life, but I've been ruined now. Is it what Lord Han meant?" Zhang Mu asked.

"I don't know this. Go back and ask Lord Han personally. But I have a great thing to tell you." Tao Xingchang bought a secret.

"What?"

"Three days later, it will be the day for your house to take the exam." When he said this, Tao Xingchang lowered his voice and said, "The policing envoy, Lord Jiang, came from Yingtian Mansion in person, and called him to see you. Hehe, it's time for you to get promoted and make a fortune."

When Zhang Mu heard this, he asked curiously: "Who is Mr. Jiang you are talking about?"

"Tsk, can it still be that? Of course it's Lord Jiang," said Tao Xingchang.
