Chapter 278 The Trickster is Coming
As Brother Ma's agile figure galloped away like an arrow, his father and younger brother Ma also neighed and galloped behind Brother Ma.
They were also very frustrated along the way.
In the sunlight, three streaks of light flew away, and the civil and military officials present could not help but exclaim once again: "It is worthy of being a Ferghana horse, it is so fast!"
Emperor Xuan looked at the horse flying away at a rapid speed with an unpleasant expression on his face. There really was something wrong with the horse.
The three horses rode side by side and rushed forward.
The civil and military officials only saw the speed and cheered, but Cen Jiang could feel the warm breath behind him and the big teeth of the black horse that were eager to try, but he didn't know whether it was aimed at the horse or at himself.
The horse under his crotch was even more restless, ready to throw him off at any time.
"drive!"
Cen Jiang squeezed the horse's belly, trying to create some distance between him and the man. The next moment, the horse under him stood up again, and Cen Jiang felt empty under the horse, falling off it.
Cen Jiang's heart tightened and he held the reins tightly. He must not fall off the horse now.
Suddenly, Ma's father rushed over with his big white teeth bared and bit Cen Jiang's butt.
"Ow~~~"
Cen Jiang screamed, the strength in his hands loosened, and he fell to the ground. At the critical moment, he rolled several times to avoid the hooves of three horses.
He lay on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
After spitting out the blood, Cen Jiang lay on the ground unable to move. He felt a piercing pain in his thigh. Before he could even cry out in pain, a silver head appeared in Cen Jiang's sight again.
Cen Jiang was horrified and called for help in the direction of the civil and military officials: "Help..."
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking was heard.
The silver Arabian horse jumped happily back and forth three times on Cen Jiang's body before chasing his father and brother.
Only then did Cen Jiang hear the young eunuch shouting at the top of his lungs: "Hurry up, someone! Lord Cen has fallen from his horse!"
A large group of people ran towards Cen Jiang, and Cen Jiang could vaguely hear someone shouting, "Go find the imperial physician! Lord Cen is vomiting blood."
Unfortunately, it was too late. Cen Jiang spat out another mouthful of blood and closed his eyes forever. Before closing his eyes, he was still regretting his hereditary title. It was gone, everything was gone. If he had known earlier...
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as knowing it in advance in this world.
Xu Jinyu had no idea what was happening in the capital, and he spent the whole day hanging out in Changlu County with Princess Wuyang.
However, the people of Changlu County, including those in the neighboring counties, were particularly tolerant of these two petite officials because they were living gods of wealth.
Things in the sea that no one ate before have become rare delicacies after passing through their mouths, and both fishermen and merchants have made a lot of money.
Starting from Changlu County, seafood dried in the sea spread in all directions to the entire Daqian.
Originally, the people of Daqian were not interested in seafood. Only people living by the sea were used to eating it. Plus, there weren’t enough seasonings, and if it wasn’t cooked well, it would be very hard to swallow.
But the vendors said that kelp can prevent goiter. There is no cure for this disease in Daqian. If eating some kelp can prevent it, then just eat it. It’s not particularly expensive anyway.
And those shrimps are good for the brain. I must buy them. Now that my family is well off, and I am planning to send my children to school, their brains must keep up, so I have to buy some shrimps.
Fish is rich in nutrients, so you should buy it. The most important thing is oysters, which are a good aphrodisiac. This is the most important thing.
With the template provided by Xu Jinyu, the merchants in Daqian also learned how to do it in the same way.
On this day, Princess Wuyang and Xu Jinyu were wandering around the market in Changlu County again. There were some good things brought back from the sea in this market. Xu Jinyu had found a few black pearls here last time.
Princess Wuyang didn't like it. She was a pure princess and liked pure white round pearls. Only wearing such pearls would make her look respectable.
But Xu Jinyu likes it, thinking back to those days...
Pah! In modern times, Xu Jinyu would have to consider the affordability of her wallet before buying a pearl from Zhuji. How could Xu Jinyu not like this pure natural black pearl?
Having tasted the sweetness, Xu Jinyu dragged Princess Wuyang to the market again today.
As soon as Xu Jinyu and Princess Wuyang entered the market, the vendors there became enthusiastic. The two did not bargain when buying things, but paid the money as soon as they said they would buy.
The key point is silver, not copper coins. You should know that although one tael of silver is equivalent to one guan of money, in fact one tael of silver can be exchanged for at least 1100 coins. The silver in the hands of the two officials is of good quality, and people are scrambling to exchange it for 1300 coins.
"Sir, take a look at these corals that I got from the sea."
Xu Jinyu took a closer look and thought, "Hey! What a good thing!"
The coral is half a person's height, blood red in color, and extremely complete.
"purchase!"
Xu Jinyu waved his hand and bought it generously.
"Sir, I have a beautiful shell here."
"purchase!"
"Sir, I have gold and pink pearls here."
Princess Wuyang: "I'll buy this!"
"Sir, please make the decision!"
Xu Jinyu was stunned. He was shopping when suddenly someone asked him to make a decision. The change was a bit too fast.
This was the first time someone came to him for help. However, if there was any grievance, it was not Xu Jinyu's business, so Xu Jinyu said gently, "If you have any grievances, go find the county magistrate. This is not my business."
The man who was kneeling on the ground with his head down raised his head, his face full of sorrow: "Sir, my father is the county magistrate, he doesn't care, so I have no choice but to come to you."
Ah!
Xu Jinyu couldn't help but be stunned. Why don't you discuss it with your father? Why do you want me to make the decision for you? There is nothing that can't be discussed between father and son? Why do you want to cheat your father?
It must be said that although this matter is a bit beyond one's authority, Xu Jinyu became interested.
"Come on, how are you going to cheat your father... No! What grievances have you suffered? Tell me about it." Xu Jinyu pulled a chair over and sat down, looking at this cheating young man with great interest.
"Thank you, sir. This is what happened..."
