#409 - Chapter 408
Zhao Ling'er was a little stunned by this scene.
Are all officials so easy to talk to?
Perhaps it was because Chu Tianran was familiar with these government agencies. He seemed to know a lot about them and the rules here, which Zhao Ling'er didn't know.
She only knew one thing: no matter how high your cultivation was, don't mess around in front of the government.
But not only did they come to mess around, Chu Tianran even spoke wildly, which almost scared her to death. She was afraid that a cultivator would pop out and slap them to death.
Zhao Ling'er knew a lot about this. Government agencies never easily accept anyone's provocations.
But not only did they come in, but they could actually write?
Then Chu Tianran really wrote, and then that person gave money.
Directly and generously, three taels of silver!
She had saved for a long time to get those dozens of taels. It seemed that she really made money!
But Chu Tianran directly refused, saying it was too little and not worthy of his writing, and asked the magistrate to come and consider it.
She was really afraid that someone would be slapped to death here. Chu Tianran, do you know that I can't even beat those brick搬ing people outside? Are you really not afraid that we will die here!
The guard also said that the silver was not a small amount. How much did ordinary people earn in a year? He directly gave three taels.
Still sternly refused.
The writing is very good, but is it too smug to speak wildly just because of writing?
And then.......
The magistrate really came.......
Zhao Ling'er tightly held Chu Tianran's hand, not daring to say a word.
She was a little afraid of dying here, and Uncle Zheng was not here either. The people outside were not easy to get along with, especially for someone like her who clearly knew the cruelty of the world and knew it would be very troublesome.
But the magistrate was stunned and asked Chu Tianran who taught him to write?
At this moment, Chu Tianran's aura in the face of the officials was no less than theirs.
"My father taught me. He was a court official back then, but later, he suffered a great chaos, and my father unfortunately passed away......."
Of course, he would not tell anyone other than Zhao Ling'er about his identity.
Chu Tianran understood his identity very well.
There can be many people in this world named Chu Tianran, but there is only one crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty.
There is no trouble now, but what about later?
What if something really happens?
Zhao Ling'er was stunned.
Ah?
Your father is dead, so why do you always talk about your parents? Are they okay, but they encountered trouble and sent you out of the palace?
But that's right, there may indeed be a lot of trouble for them to come here.
So his father died early, and then he became mentally disturbed and said that his father was the Emperor and his mother was the Empress.
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned, recalling the former Grand Secretary. After Qiu Zun's death, many people also died. They were all capable old ministers who were the backbone of the Grand Secretariat. To be able to learn the Dragon Calligraphy, it is estimated that they were descendants of one of those dead officials!
Wang Jingzhong admired these people very much.
Back in the imperial city, he saw the facades of many households, all with Dragon Calligraphy, their momentum majestic and generous, magnificent. He never thought that he would be able to obtain a piece of Dragon Calligraphy today!
No wonder this young man spoke wildly. There are not many people in the world who can write this character, and there are not many who can surpass him if he writes so well.
"Based on this word alone, that three taels of silver is indeed embarrassing you!"
Wang Jingzhong took a deep breath and then said: "Go to the accounting room and get three thousand taels of silver notes, which will be used to buy this young man's words."
Everyone was stunned.
Is this price a bit expensive?
Three thousand taels, that's three low-grade spirit stones. Although gold and silver are not very valuable in this era, and spirit stones are used, so much is not a small amount in the mortal world!
But suddenly they also thought of something.
The Dragon Calligraphy's words, the father also died, I'm afraid it is an orphan who came out of Beijing before!
For these people, as long as they are officials, they are particularly yearning, except for the gang of dog officials in the current cabinet who want to frame and kill these people, etc.
I'm afraid they came to escape, and they came because they had no money, and this air is also extraordinary, which is even more confirmed.
In that case, naturally, we must treat them well, and it is worthwhile to be able to see them this time.
Moreover, the value of this Dragon Calligraphy itself far exceeds these three thousand taels!
These are the nobles in Beijing who are qualified to hang in front of the door. Where does their small county government come from such glory!
This is the most valuable thing, three thousand taels is not expensive at all!
Zhao Ling'er was stunned.
Ah????
How much money do you have? Is his writing so expensive?
Zhao Ling'er shook Chu Tianran, and the latter held her hand, indicating that there was nothing to worry about.
While Wang Jingzhong was waiting to get the money, he hesitated and asked: "Do you have a place to live now? If not, although this official's county office is not big, it can also provide you with a place to stay. You can stay here with this official. The people here are all trusted by this official, and naturally will not bring you any trouble or affect anything."
"No need, I have a place to live. I came here today just for some writing fees. It can be seen that you are a knowledgeable adult."
"Well, the Dragon Calligraphy of the imperial city, who in the world who enters Beijing does not know, who does not understand it, this official's county office can actually get this piece of calligraphy!"
But Wang Jingzhong still asked: "Do you really have a place to live? Has no one come to trouble you these years? If there is, if the background is not big, just some cultivators, this official can help you solve it."
Chu Tianran smiled and said: "You don't have to worry so much. It's just a random piece of writing. Now that I dare to come out, I'm not afraid of any trouble. Someone will protect me."
Wang Jingzhong pondered slightly and asked the officials behind him.
"Can you see what realm this girl is in?"
"It is the sixth realm, and its luck is good. It seems that there is a famous teacher to teach, and its realm may be the celestial phenomenon or even above the realm. With this person's protection, it seems that we don't have to worry about anything."
"Oh? If that's the case, then there is no need to ask this young man anything, and there is no need to investigate anything. Even if someone with a heart wants to investigate, it is nothing more than tracing to us. We met by chance and left a piece of writing, and there is no need to be afraid of the people in the cabinet making things difficult. After the loyal minister, we should still protect them."
Soon, the accounting room brought the silver notes.
Wang Jingzhong handed it over with both hands and sighed.
"If you need help, you can come to this official and say a word. Both for your father, who I don't know who it is, and for this official's lifetime, the family can actually get a true copy of the Dragon Calligraphy. I may stay in this Qingshan County for the rest of my life. You can come whenever you want, and if you don't want to come in person, you can send someone to send a letter, and this official can go to see you."
"Since you don't want to stay, this official will not entertain you. Leave as soon as possible. This money should be enough for you to use for a while. If it's not enough, just come again."
Zhao Ling'er was dumbfounded.
Hey, what are these people talking about? Why can't I understand it? And it feels like this official seems to want to keep Chu Tianran or something.
It's a bit strange, right? She doesn't understand, but she plans to ask Chu Tianran later.
Soon, several officials sent Chu Tianran and the two away.
"After the loyal minister, he actually fell into disrepair here, but at least there is a great cultivator as a background to rely on, otherwise this official would definitely have to personally keep and take care of him."
"Alas, it's a pity for Chief Qiu and others. It's a pity that they encountered misfortune and died after resigning. And those people in the cabinet were either ransacked or framed. What a pity, what a pity!"
"There is no need to investigate. Call the Dao realm cultivator from the county government, don't tell him why. Erase the memories of everyone who saw them today, including this official. This Dragon Calligraphy will be considered to have been given by someone at random."
"Yes, I will go now."
Chu Tianran, who left the county government office, handed the silver note to Zhao Ling'er, but the latter didn't want it.
"This money was earned by you, I don't want yours, but why are they willing to give you money just for you to write a word?"
Chu Tianran said helplessly: "I didn't even say who I was, otherwise they wouldn't give me money, but would kneel down and call me the crown prince. I just used the cabinet coup back then to pretend to be an orphan of the coup, because in this way, the source of the Dragon Calligraphy is reasonable. Not to mention other things, just the value of this Dragon Calligraphy actually far exceeds three thousand taels. How many people can't get it, although I used to love to write words for people when I was in Beijing."
"But I can be considered to have lowered my status, because no one can know that I am the crown prince except you, otherwise, it would be more than this?"
"You gave me three taels of silver before... I was almost pissed off, but I spent a lot of your silver yesterday, so this silver will be considered as paying you back."
"Then I don't want it either. I originally wanted to spend money on you when I spent money on you. You can just give me half of what I spent yesterday."
"Look, you will be my wife in the future, right? Then the money is mine and yours. You can just take it and use it later."
"But today's matter... Tianran, is your father dead? Then why do you still mention your father?......."
"My father is not dead, at least not dead now. I said I was hiding my identity, otherwise they would kneel down......."
"Today, regardless of other things, this word is definitely worth the money. They are not at a loss. Forget it, let me explain it to you in detail......."
