The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

The three wealthy businessmen chatted with Sun Shandong, trying to figure out when the yamen would have bird droppings.

Where does this bird droppings come from?

To find out information in a roundabout way.

Sun Shan looked at their appearances and thought about his past performance. Was he too approachable and therefore lacked any official authority?

Such an important secret, yet you dare to test it openly.

Damn it, if the tiger doesn’t show its power, I’ll be dead!

Sun Shan suddenly put down the teacup heavily, startling the three wealthy businessmen who were talking.

He swallowed the words he was about to say, opened his mouth in an "o" shape, and stared at Sun Shan blankly.

Sun Shan raised his eyes and said coldly, "What are you trying to do? Who sent you here? How dare you pry into the affairs of the government office?"

These words frightened the three wealthy businessmen so much that they jumped off their stools and knelt down immediately.

He begged for mercy: "Master Magistrate, please spare my life. I know my crime. Please be magistrate and spare me." Ai

Damn, I just got carried away without realizing it while talking. What happened?

Magistrate Sun was obviously very scary, especially his triangular eyes that looked like poisonous snakes. One look at him was enough to kill anyone with poison.

How could I have forgotten about this while I was talking?

Emma, ​​this Magistrate Sun always makes people feel that he speaks well, and he talks too much without realizing it, but that is not the case at all.

Emma, ​​what is going on?

Not to mention talking to officials, even when talking to colleagues one has to be extremely careful, so how come when talking to Magistrate Sun, he unconsciously forgets to be on guard?

Emma, ​​this Magistrate Sun must be able to use magic to make me lose my way and my sense of proportion.

In short, the three wealthy businessmen felt that all the mistakes were someone else's fault, especially Sun Shan's fault, and definitely not their own.

Sun Shan looked speechlessly at the three wealthy businessmen lying on the ground with shifty and sly eyes.

This look was so humble and sad that it made him feel as if he had done something unforgivable.

Sun Shan pretended not to notice and continued to ask with a cold face, "Tell me quickly, who sent you here to gather information?"

Rich merchants A, B, and C quickly shouted, "My Lord, no one sent us here. We were just curious about why there was bird droppings in the government office. My Lord, please spare us. We won't do it again."

I was really afraid that Sun Shan would lock them up and torture them to force out the mastermind behind the scenes.

If there were, they wouldn't be afraid, but the reality is that there is nothing to fear.

Even under torture, he couldn't name the person.

Emma, ​​I wouldn’t have come if I had known.

Emma, ​​I'm so scared and want to run away.

Sun Shan had no idea whether there was a big boss behind them, he was just asking casually.

It’s best if you can ask, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t.

Just asking anyway.

Sun Shan's face was icy as he asked calmly, "Then what is the purpose of your visit? Don't tell me you're buying guano. Humph, even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such a thing. I'll give you one more chance to tell the truth. If you continue to talk nonsense, the consequences will be serious."

The three wealthy businessmen remained kneeling on the ground, and they did not dare to get up unless Sun Shan called out to them.

Of course, the purpose of this visit is not to buy bird droppings, that's just to find a topic to talk about.

As the leader of the three, Merchant A said tremblingly, "Sir, we came here this time because we really want to buy guano..."

Before he could finish his words, Sun Shan picked up the teacup and put it down heavily.

The teacup hit the table with a "bang" sound, which scared the three wealthy businessmen again.

Emma, ​​Lord Sun is about to get angry.

Emma, ​​this is so scary, what should I do?

Sun Shan looked at the three wealthy businessmen coldly, then looked at the teacup.

It’s true, this ceramic teacup with a lid is of really good quality. It’s still not damaged even after being knocked again and again.

I thought to myself that I should ask Manager Wang where he bought it. It would be nice to buy a few more to entertain guests.

Sun Shan's Teacup

Sun Shan raised his voice and asked in an oppressive tone, "I'll ask you one last time. What is your purpose for coming here?"

Pointing at Rich Businessman B, he said, "You answer."

When sending the maids over, Sun Shan had already checked and found that these three wealthy businessmen had no relatives at all, and the maids had been sent separately before.

I just didn't expect that they would get together, and vaguely formed a gang of three with Rich Businessman A as the leader.

Could it be that they are imitating the "Peach Garden Oath" of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?

And the reason they became sworn brothers was that they both sent maids to Sun Shan, both offended Sun Shan, and both were forced to donate money by Sun Shan?

The fate between people is sometimes really strange, and there are all kinds of reasons for them to be together.

The three wealthy businessmen might have really colluded with each other because of the "sending of maids" incident.

Rich businessman B looked at Sun Shan's finger tremblingly, because it was pointing at him.

Emma, ​​how did Lord Sun choose him to answer?

If he says something wrong, he will definitely be the first one to be blamed.

Emma, ​​I really want to break out of the door and run away.

Just as Rich Businessman A was about to speak, Sun Shan gave him a look, and Rich Businessman A immediately became like a quail, shrinking back in fear and not daring to look up.

As for the wealthy businessman C, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lord Sun didn't point at him. If he had, he might have fainted.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the wealthy businessman B gritted his teeth and went out to tell the truth: "Sir, this time we are here not only to buy guano..."

Sun Shan glared at him.

Rich Merchant B quickly continued, "We have other motives. Our motive...our motive is to help the government sell guano."

After saying this, Rich Businessman B breathed a sigh of relief.

Emma, ​​it’s better to tell the truth. At least you don’t have to think of more lies to cover up your lies.

They came here to buy guano, not for the main purpose, but mainly to become agents and sell guano to the government.

The last time three wealthy businessmen sent a maid to Sun Shan, they not only lost more than they gained, but also donated a lot of money in vain.

Because of this incident, three people who were not very familiar with each other became friends.

Perhaps it is because we have suffered the same loss that we understand the other person's deep pain.

The three of them would occasionally come out for tea when they had free time.

Just yesterday, the news that "using bird droppings can lead to a bumper rice harvest" spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and finally reached the ears of three wealthy businessmen.

Rich businessman A, rich businessman B, and rich businessman C all couldn't wait to share the news with each other, and the three of them ran to the experimental field excitedly to check it out.

If you don't read it, you will be half-believing and half-doubting. Once you read it, you will believe it completely.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have known that rice could produce so much grain.

The three of them couldn't help but sigh: This County Magistrate Sun is really capable and amazing!

Suddenly, Rich Merchant A suggested, "If this guano can really increase production, haha, wouldn't we get rich selling it?"

I'm not afraid of high prices, I'm just afraid of not having good stuff.

Guano is a good thing and it will definitely sell well.

As long as you have farming at home, you won’t be tempted if you don’t believe it, and you won’t be tempted if you don’t believe it. Come and buy it.

When Rich Businessman B and Rich Businessman C heard this, their eyes lit up and they immediately thought this was a good deal.

The three of them didn't know what was wrong with them, they actually thought they were old acquaintances of Sun Shan.

So the next morning, after breakfast, they formed a team and hurried to the yamen.

He came to see Sun Shan under the pretext of buying bird droppings.
