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

Sun Shan'ai looked at the Ding Niangzi cloth, which was as smooth as silver, soft and delicate, with greed in his eyes.

The two men kneeling below were shocked.

What does Lord Sun's look mean? Why is he staring at the cloth so intently?

If you want to keep an eye on someone, you should keep an eye on them, right?

You should see which one of them is lying and read their inner thoughts.

He kept staring at the piece of cloth, with saliva faintly flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his expression revealed his desire to "own it for himself".

Man A ignored the court rules and shouted anxiously, "Sir, that piece of cloth is mine, it's mine. Please help me."

Emma, ​​I regret going to the government office so much. What should I do?

It seems that there is no way to get this cloth back.

I was so unlucky today that my cloth was stolen. I was not satisfied and thought I could get justice by going to the government.

From the current perspective, the danger of this piece of cloth is at its lowest point. The most frightening thing is that I might get stuck in it.

Man B is also anxious. Isn’t Lord Sun known for being “fair and strict” and “honest and dedicated”?

How could the behavior just now be described as the legendary "clean hands" and "not taking a single cent"?

He is just like County Magistrate Wang, both of them are corrupt officials.

It is true that the world is full of corruption and corrupt officials.

Man B said anxiously, "Sir, that piece of cloth is mine. Sir, you must help me and return the cloth to me. Sir, please..."

She cried so miserably.

Mr. Zhang and a group of yamen runners nearby couldn't help but glance at Sun Shan.

Oh my god, what the hell is Lord Sun doing? That piece of cloth is indeed good cloth, and it looks different from ordinary cloth. But even if it is good, it can't be better than Lord Sun's official uniform.

Lord Sun's official uniform was not only made of good material but also exquisitely made. He also had several sets of it, which made these hard-working officials extremely envious.

I didn't expect that Lord Sun was looking at the cloth so greedily today. His expression was like a girl looking at a flower, as if he was determined to get it.

Emma, ​​even if you want to take it away, you have to restrain yourself for a while, and then find some excuses to steal the cloth, and the two civilians below will not dare to resist.

Tsk tsk~~~ Lord Sun is still a little immature and doesn't know how to put on a good show. Tsk tsk~~ He usually pretends quite well, but I didn't expect his true colors to be revealed today.

The yamen runner secretly heard the old servant of County Magistrate Wang say that Lord Sun looked serious and selfless, but was actually very greedy and loved gold the most.

I didn’t believe it before, but today I completely believe it and finally see through Lord Sun’s true nature.

Master Zhang was also anxious. Although he didn't believe that Sun Shan would steal the cloth, he showed that he wanted to steal it. Master Zhang couldn't help but mutter.

He glanced at him stealthily, but unfortunately Sun Shan was still obsessed with the cloth and couldn't help himself.

The shouting of the two men finally woke Sun Shan up.

Sun Shan coughed a few times, put the cloth aside, and pointed at Man A sternly, asking, "You, tell me what happened first?"

When Man A saw Sun Shan pointing at him, he couldn't help but tremble, nervous and afraid. He pretended to be calm and said, "Sir, this piece of cloth is mine, it's mine..."

The story goes like this. Man A is called Zhang San, and he is from Niutou Village, Yuanlu County. His younger sister is about to get married, but his family is poor and cannot afford the dowry. He also doesn't want his sister to be looked down upon by her in-laws, so he has to shamelessly go to his aunt who is married to Chenzhou Prefecture.

After hearing this, Sun Shan probably understood what was going on.

The so-called trip to Chenzhou Prefecture to find my aunt was actually to beg for money.

Nowadays, if a woman gets married without a dowry, she will be looked down upon. Some wives who love their daughters will try their best to provide them with a generous dowry so that their daughters can have a good place in their husband's family.

This rule applies to all families, including small and poor families.

After hearing this, it became clear that Zhang San really loved his sister, and it was quite moral for him to travel such a long way to his aunt's house to "beg for alms".

Zhang San went to Chenzhou Prefecture with great difficulty and found his aunt who was married in the suburbs of Chenzhou Prefecture. He also met his aunt smoothly and even more smoothly "begged" for 3 taels of silver. He was so happy.

Sun Shan frowned when he heard this and asked, "Zhang San, it takes several days to walk from Yuanlu County to Chenzhou Prefecture, and the fare is more than three taels. I only borrowed three taels from my aunt's house. It's not worth it."

This is totally unreasonable. I walked such a long way to only borrow 3 taels.

Either my aunt is stingy or her family is not well off. It would be better to save the travel expenses and give them to my sister as a dowry.

Zhang San blushed and said embarrassedly, "Sir, I, I can go to Chenzhou Prefecture by myself. I don't need any travel expenses. My father and mother will prepare some dry food for me, and that will be enough."

Sun Shan frowned and asked, "How are you going to Chenzhou Prefecture by yourself? Do you know the way to Chenzhou Prefecture? Even if you do, why would you go there alone?"

When he said this, Zhang San blushed even more, stammered, and dared not speak.

The man next to him, Li Si, shouted anxiously, "Sir, look, this Zhang San is a liar and loves to cheat people. Sir, that piece of cloth is mine. You must give me justice."

Sun Shan felt that he had not banged the gavel for a long time, and if not now, when would he do it?

Immediately, there was a "bang" and the gavel was slammed.

The "Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu" below immediately started beating the "Water and Fire Sticks", and immediately the sound of "Mighty~~~Mighty~~~"

Li Si immediately shut up, buried his head, and dared not say a word.

Sun Shan snorted coldly, "Li Si, you dared to speak without my permission before I even asked you. If you do it again, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Si said tremblingly: "Sir, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."

Sun Shan slammed the gavel again, pointed at Zhang San, and shouted, "Zhang San, tell the truth. If you lie, I'll give you a beating with a stick."

Zhang San was also afraid, and tremblingly said, "Sir, spare my life, sir, spare my life, I, I will tell you."

It turned out that Zhang San's "free trip to Chenzhou Prefecture" was sneaky. He followed the escort agency secretly, followed the escort agency's route, and followed them step by step.

I don’t know if it was because he was lucky or smart, but he managed to arrive at Chenzhou Prefecture smoothly.

I asked as I walked and finally found out my aunt's address, and found her surprisingly smoothly.

Zhang San hurriedly shouted, "Sir, everything I said is true. This is how I arrived in Chenzhou Prefecture."

Sun Shan asked calmly, "Did you also come back with the escort agency like this when you came back?"

Zhang San nodded, then shook his head and said, "Sir, when I came back, I also followed the escort agency. But I was discovered by the escort agency halfway. They asked me to pay, and if I didn't, they would not let me follow.

My Lord, I have no money. I need to take back three taels of silver to give to my sister as a dowry, so I have no choice but to go alone. Fortunately, I know the way back, so I am not afraid of getting lost.
