Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Fang Zheng left, utterly confused.

The old fox Liu Xun watched him with a lecherous grin, leaving him baffled.

Did he and the Crown Prince have a secret?

What secret could there be, other than his subtle suggestion to the Crown Prince to issue an imperial decree before he left?

However, Fang Zheng didn't dare to press the matter, only lowering his head and chuckling guiltily twice.

Back at home, it wasn't long before Wei Shan came to pay a visit.

As soon as Wei Shan saw Fang Zheng, his face was full of obsequiousness: "Lord Fang, Lord Liu knows you enjoy fine food and asked me to bring you some delicacies."

Fang Zheng nodded in agreement, and Wei Shan immediately shouted towards the door: "Come on! Bring everything in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two strong men, panting, carried in a large rosewood box on a pole.

The box was carried directly into the hall.

After putting it down, Wei Shan took out a red card from his pocket: "This is the menu; please take a look, my lord."

Fang Zheng took the red card and carefully examined it. The box was filled with many good things, with gold and silver as the base, plus jewelry and precious porcelain.

The total value was around ten thousand taels.

When did I become worth ten thousand taels? Fang Zheng felt a little disdainful.

Without the grain disaster, when grain prices were stable, about one tael of silver could buy seven or eight shi of grain, but now the market price has increased almost twenty-five times!

In addition, the grain from all sides' aid and civilian levies had no cost at all. I don't know how much profit they made, yet they only use this little money to bribe me, Fang Zheng, and don't take me seriously at all!

Closing the red card, Fang Zheng handed it back to Wei Shan expressionlessly.

"Take it back. This little bit isn't even enough to fill this official's teeth."

"Uh..." Wei Shan was stunned.

The situation was somewhat unexpected! Ten thousand taels still can't win you over?

But after thinking about it, it made sense. This lord probably spends a lot of money on a meal.

Then he chuckled and said: "Lord Fang, why don't you take a look first? If it's not enough to eat... I'll go and tell Lord Liu again."

Fang Zheng said with a helpless expression: "Well! Since it's Lord Liu's good intentions, this official can't just send it back like this."

"Also, Wei Shan, we're all our own people, no need to be so secretive. Open the box."

"Yes!" Wei Shan happily opened the box, describing the contents with a beaming smile.

"Lord Fang, as you can see, the gold, silver, and pearls go without saying. There are also many priceless treasures that are worth far more than the prices on the menu."

"Lord Liu can be said to be full of sincerity towards you!"

"Dragon-adorned jade cups, pure black crystal silver hairpin, agate green stone pendant, fertility jade Guanyin... These treasures can't be obtained without several hundred taels!"

"Among them, the most precious and priceless treasure isn't even written on the card. Lord Liu wanted to give you an unexpected surprise!"

As Wei Shan spoke, he took out a large blue gemstone from inside.

Mysteriously, he said: "This item is called the Heart of the Ocean! It's extremely precious, rumored to be a treasure of the Crown Prince... Oh! This lowly one is showing off! You are by the Crown Prince's side, you must know the value of this treasure!"

"This one piece alone is worth thousands of taels! Lord Liu has always regarded it as a treasure. To give it to you shows his sincerity."

"................."

Cheating people and ending up cheating himself, Fang Zheng didn't want to speak.

That blue glass was indeed auctioned for several thousand taels at Banshan Square, but he also sold five or six privately. He didn't expect them to flow to Jianjiang.

Fang Zheng took a deep breath and revealed a smile: "Not bad! This item is indeed a treasure of the Crown Prince, and its value is immeasurable."

"But it's not suitable for this official, and since it's Lord Liu's beloved item, please take it back and exchange it for gold and silver for this official."

"As for the rest of the jewelry, don't send it. This official only likes those vulgar yellow and white things!"

Wei Shan lowered his head and curled his lips, then raised his head and smiled: "Alright, this lowly one will go back and tell Lord Liu."

"Okay, go, go."

Seeing Wei Shan leave the residence, Fang Zheng called out the two maids.

Hong Yao and Green Willow trotted into the hall, first secretly glanced at the jewelry, and then said嬌 to Fang Zheng: "What are your orders, Master?"

"Come! Carry this box of things to my bedroom!"

"Ah, this..." The two women exchanged glances, lowered their heads, and whispered: "This servant can't lift it... Why don't we call Zhou Dahai?"

"What!" Fang Zheng raised his voice, "Can Dahai do this rough work! Are you two dead girls looking for a beating? Quickly move it for me, stop talking nonsense!"

After speaking, he went back to the bedroom on his own.

In the bedroom, Zhou Dahai was tied into a strange shape and thrown on the bed.

This kid is big and burly. Fang Zheng was afraid that if he played with fire, he would resist him. If he couldn't beat him, he would be in trouble.

So he tied him up every day, occasionally loosening him for a while, and throwing him into the woodshed at night.

Zhou Dahai was also exhausted both mentally and physically to the extreme.

Sometimes he thought... or maybe, maybe he should just let him have his way!

He really couldn't bear this suffering, but when he thought about getting serious, he was afraid again.

This pervert doesn't know what tricks he has up his sleeve!

When Zhou Dahai saw Fang Zheng enter the room, he repeatedly said: "Master, please, let me go! This little one really can't take it anymore!"

Fang Zheng poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and looked at him sideways.

"Xiao Hai, I haven't had enough fun yet. What, have you figured it out?"

Zhou Dahai stammered: "I... I want to relieve myself, I can't! I can't hold it in anymore. I'm afraid I'll dirty the master's bed. Please, let me go quickly!"

"Want to relieve yourself? Relieve yourself on the bed."

Zhou Dahai shed tears of despair... It's too dirty, and he likes to play with poop....

"This bed, I don't want it anymore!"

Fang Zheng sat quietly, waiting for Hong Yao and Green Willow to carry the box in.

Two ten-year-old girls, carrying such a heavy box, must have used all their strength.

After waiting for half an hour, Fang Zheng heard the sound of heavy objects rubbing against the ground.

Hong Yao and Green Willow shouted: "One! Two! Three! Ah!!!"

With a "呲 ~" sound, the box moved forward for another second.

Then it was one, two, three again. Fang Zheng found it interesting and walked out of the room, looking at the two sweat-soaked maids, and frowned: "Why are you so useless! It takes you so long to carry a box."

"Who told you to push it? Lift it up! You've worn out such a good box!"

Hong Yao and Green Willow gritted their teeth and lowered their heads, cursing Fang Zheng a few times in their hearts.

Then they raised their heads and said, panting: "Yes! This servant will lift it!"

The two women took a deep breath and bent down to carry the box. Fang Zheng went back to the room to drink tea.

The box had already reached the door, but the two women were dumbfounded when they encountered the threshold.

The two women were so tired that they were about to vomit blood. After a lot of tossing and turning, they finally carried the box into the room.

The two people stared blankly at Fang Zheng and said: "Master, it's moved!"

"Okay!" Saying that, Fang Zheng walked to the bed and pushed hard, pushing Zhou Dahai off the bed.

At this time, his hands and feet were tied together, forming a circle. When Fang Zheng pushed him so hard, he immediately fell to the ground, bounced twice, and rolled into the corner.

Fang Zheng lay on the bed: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come up and massage my back and shoulders."

"......... Yes." Hong Yao and Green Willow felt sad and miserable at this time, their bodies were sore and unbearable, but they could only let Fang Zheng order them around.

Zhou Dahai in the corner was even worse. The impact of bouncing on the ground just now caused a heavy blow to his bladder, and the small dam had already burst, soaking his lower body.

His whole face was against the corner of the wall, motionless.......
