Seeing the imperial envoy agree to his request so readily, the spherical magistrate was overjoyed. At this moment, Yuan Long's ball-like body was not stupid at all. He only needed to lightly jump, and the round body that was kneeling on the ground stood up. As soon as he stood up from the pile of fat meat, four men in black quickly walked up to him and said in a low voice,"Let's go."
Although his voice was low, it was full of energy, giving the ball-shaped magistrate who had just been complacent a fright. Turning his head to look at the four men in black and then at the man in gold, the round ball magistrate hurriedly nodded and bowed,"Everyone, please, please-"
The four men in black escorted the spherical magistrate around the hall and came to a secret room in the Second Hall. They searched inside and outside, and then carefully checked the walls, seats, ceiling, and floor of the secret room. After confirming that there was nothing suspicious, one of the men in black went to the hall to report. The other three men in black remained in the secret chamber, staring at the spherical magistrate.
Not long after, the little Baoying Celestial Dragon, clad in golden robes and chains, arrived at the door of the Second Hall's secret chamber. Other than Yu 'er, there were also a few black-robed men holding steel sabers following closely behind him.
When they arrived at the door of the secret room, the three men in black quickly left the secret room. Then, more than ten men in black monitored all directions outside the secret room.
After Little Treasure Ying Tianlong walked into the secret room, the spherical magistrate immediately knelt on the ground. He kowtowed and begged,"Milord, please forgive this lowly official for being blind. This lowly official begs Milord to let this lowly official untie Milord's chains.”
"Blind? Do you know what blind people are?”Little Treasure Ying Tianlong casually sat on a chair and said indifferently.
"This, this humble official is stupid, please enlighten me.”The ball-shaped magistrate wiped the sweat off his forehead and replied humbly.
"You know what?" Little Treasure Ying Tianlong said softly.
"Puchi!" Yu 'er couldn't help but laugh, but she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"What? Daren is right, this humble servant's moves are a pair of pixie eyes.”
" Hehehe," Yu 'er couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.
" Hahaha," Little Treasure Ying Tianlong couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he put on a stern face and said,""I didn't know you were someone who could bend and stand up. Haha."
" How can I be considered a character? Your Excellency, look--" The tactful Yuan Long wanted to change the topic.
Little Treasure Ying Tianlong didn't say anything, but turned to look at Yu 'er. Yu 'er understood and said to the spherical magistrate,"You dog official, how dare you lock up my young master. Just now, I said that the number of rings on this chain is equivalent to the amount of silver you have to pay my young master. Oh, no, no, it's 100 taels of silver for each ring. I'll count it in a while.”
"I deserve it, I deserve it. Let alone a hundred taels, even a thousand taels is worth it.”The ball-shaped magistrate said to Yu 'er.
"One ring for a thousand taels of silver, that's what you said. If you go back on your word, even if my young master lets you off, I won't let you off either.”When Yu 'er heard the spherical magistrate say one thousand taels of silver for one ring, she said casually.
Sigh, he had originally wanted to please this young lady, but he didn't expect that she would make him pay ten times more silver. He could earn more money if he didn't have any, but he couldn't get another one if he lost his head. If he wanted to accompany her, then so be it. Who asked him to still be muddleheaded until now?
"I won't go back on my word. Sir, please allow me to remove your chains.”
"There is no need to trouble the magistrate. There is no chain in this world that can lock this young master.”Little Treasure Ying Tianlong said as if he was performing a magic trick. He easily removed the chain from his body and casually threw it on the ground.
What? If it wasn't for the fact that his family had seen it, the spherical magistrate would never have believed that the three chains that were tightly wrapped around the golden-robed youth had failed to lock him up.
"Sir is divine, sir is divine." The ball-shaped magistrate flattered awkwardly.
"Yu 'er, open the box and take out the Iron Scroll Pill Book.”
What? It wasn't an imperial edict, but an Iron Scroll Pill Book that had even more supreme authority than an imperial edict?
With a plop, the ball-shaped magistrate collapsed once again. This time, he was really paralyzed.
"Hey, what are you pretending for? Quickly get up and pay your respects.”Yu 'er, who was holding the Iron Scroll Pill Book, shouted at the ball-shaped magistrate who was lying on the ground.
"Your humble subject respectfully requests for Your Majesty's safety. Long live my Emperor, long live my Emperor.”Yu 'er's roar woke up the spherical magistrate. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and muttered something.
He could play dumb at any time, but he definitely couldn't play dumb at this time. He could be muddle-headed at any time, but he definitely could not be muddle-headed at a critical moment. The spherical magistrate understood this very well.
"The word refers to the future kings of the Great Song Dynasty, the officials of the temples and the various state capitals. The iron scrolls and red books are like my own body everywhere, and the actions are like my own. From the monarch of later generations to the common people, those who do not respect the iron scroll can be killed or taken away. Soldiers who are not sealed and transferred can be punished by military law.
Iron roll Dan book, should be heaven and fall, the person who holds it, the dragon will be reborn, revive our Song Dynasty, protect our Hua Yi, respect this. Song Dynasty (Emperor Huizong), Xuanhe 7th year, the 7th day of the winter moon "
The Iron Scroll Pill Book was given to Little Treasure and Ying Tianlong by his aunt, Li Shishi Jr., on the second day of Ying Tianlong's return, which was also the day of Ying Tianlong's fifteenth birthday. After receiving the brocade box, Little Treasure Ying Tianlong did not open it. It was just a small matter. It was fine as long as he knew.
Today, in order to subdue this Suzhou magistrate, Little Treasure Ying Tianlong had no other good ideas, so he thought of this Iron Scroll Pill Book. Therefore, this was the first time Little Treasure Ying Tianlong had read it out. Little Treasure Ying Tianlong did not expect that the old Emperor of Huizong would leave him with so much power and expectations. What was even more coincidental was that his name was Ying Tianlong, and the Iron Scroll Pill Book also had the words " Iron Scroll Pill Book, descended from the heavens, and the person who holds it, the heavenly dragon reincarnates ", which actually matched Ying Tianlong's name. Could it be that there was really a destiny?
The Iron Scroll Pill Book was exquisitely made. The copper book could be rolled up and unfolded. On one side of the Iron Scroll Pill Book was engraved the Eternal Imperial Edict. On the other side, the words were carved in thin gold, and they were all carved with pure gold.
Little Treasure Ying Tianlong didn't have much time to admire the exquisite Iron Scroll Pill Book that had given him the highest authority in the world. What he needed now was to subdue the Suzhou magistrate and create his own base and granary. It was easy to kill a dog official, but it would be better if he could make so many dog officials slowly spit out all the money and food they had embezzled and turn them into a source of income for him. Of course, as long as he could control these people who were afraid of death, the chances of them continuing to commit crimes were almost zero. This was what Little Treasure and Ying Tianlong had decided upon after being influenced by the knowledge he had learned in the 21st century.
"Your residence, should we verify the authenticity of this Iron Scroll Pill Book?”Little Treasure Ying Tianlong gave the Iron Scroll Pill Book to Yu 'er and asked her to put it in the box while pretending to be polite.
"I dare not, I dare not."
"I don't think you have the guts. Let me tell you, in terms of seniority, the current emperor should be considered my grandson. If I say that I want his throne, he has to obediently abdicate it to me. However, being the emperor is too tiring. Moreover, he has made the current imperial court a mess. I don't want to clean up his mess that can never be cleaned up.”At this point, Little Treasure Ying Tianlong changed the topic and said,""However, Suzhou and the shores of Taihu Lake are still under the control of our Great Song, right? How can you ignore so many refugees and only think about making a fortune for yourself? This wasn't good. It was extremely bad. Now, I'll give you two paths. Choose carefully. First, I will spare your life, but the premise is that you must turn over a new leaf and be a good official wholeheartedly from now on, and correct your past mistakes bit by bit. The second is to kill you and find someone I can trust to take your place. You choose."
After Little Treasure Ying Tianlong advised the spherical magistrate earnestly, he turned to Yu 'er and asked,"Yu 'er, have you counted how many rings there are on this chain? This number is accurate, we can't let the magistrate spend too much money.”
" Young Master, don't worry. I've counted it three times. There are a total of 412 rings. Each ring costs 1,000 taels of silver. That's…"
"That's 412,000 taels of silver. Hmm, let's call it 400,000. It's not easy for the magistrate, so the rest will be my gift to the magistrate. En, Yu 'er is really capable. Come, let this young master give you a kiss.”
"Young Master, what are you saying? It's so embarrassing. Besides, you're still on a mission.”Yu 'er's face was flushed red with embarrassment as she said this and ran out of the Second Hall's secret room with the brocade box.
"Daren, oh, no, wangye, please sit, please sit.”After Yu 'er ran out, the spherical magistrate had a chance. However, he did not know how he had calculated it, but in the end, he actually called Little Treasure Ying Tianlong King.
He first respectfully asked Little Treasure Ying Tianlong to sit down, then opened a drawer in the secret room and took out a few banknotes. Holding the silver notes in his hands, he respectfully came to Little Treasure Ying Tianlong and said,"Your Highness, this is a hundred thousand silver notes. This lowly servant has spent all these years painstakingly accumulating them. It's really not a form of respect, please kindly accept it, Your Highness.”
"A hundred thousand taels? What does this mean?" Little Treasure Ying Tianlong didn't even look at the banknotes in the spherical magistrate's hands.
"Wangye, don't misunderstand. These silver notes are specially given to you by this lowly official. It has nothing to do with what that young lady said just now, nothing to do with it.”
"Oh, is that so? Alright, then I'll obey. Hahaha, you're a good person. I like you. "But what that girl said just now…" Little Treasure asked greedily.
"Don't worry, your highness. This humble servant would never forget that money, but this humble servant really does not have that much money on hand. Please give me a few more days.”
"You'll have it after a few days?"
"Wangye, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the money allocated by the Imperial Court for disaster relief will be sent over. This batch of silver is about five hundred thousand taels. I want to first compensate this silver to Your Highness, and then I will save up some silver to return to the court or to help the victims. Your Highness, what do you think?"
"You're dragging me along with you to take the money from the imperial court's disaster relief. No, this is definitely not possible." Little Treasure Ying Tianlong shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Wangye, this is just a temporary turnover. This lowly servant will make up for it as soon as possible. Moreover, even if the Imperial Court finds out, I will be the one to bear the blame. This lowly official will definitely not implicate Your Highness.”
"Yes, can you guarantee that?"
"This lowly servant's life belongs to wangye, how would this lowly servant dare to deceive wangye.”
"Alright, but your residence still has to do some superficial work.”
"This humble servant is stupid, please instruct me, Your Highness.”
"You've kept all the refugees outside the city, and the Imperial Court has already distributed a portion of the money and food to the disaster victims. How about this? You let all the refugees into the city and give them some food and drink to let them recuperate for a few days. Then, in the name of letting them settle down and not escape, he would send them all to Wu County and Moli Town on the edge of Lake Tai. This way, you can hide it and make the refugees and others have nothing to say. How about your residence?”
"Brilliant, truly brilliant. This is simply better than Zhuge Liang's brilliant plan. His Highness was not only divine, he was also extraordinarily intelligent.”
"Don't flatter me. It's better to get down to business.”
"Yes, yes, your highness is right. En, wangye, this humble servant has a presumptuous request, may wangye-?”
"Hehehe, now that you and I are in the same boat, just say whatever you want.”
"This humble servant would like to ask if your highness is engaged? Your Highness, I have a daughter who is only twenty-eight years old. Although she did not dare to say that she was as beautiful as a fairy, she was not inferior to the lady just now. If your highness doesn't mind, this lowly servant wants my daughter to accompany your highness and serve your highness for this lowly servant. I wonder if your highness can accept my filial piety?”Yuan Long had seen Ying Tianlong flirting with Yu 'er just now, so he guessed that this prince must be very lecherous, so he came up with this idea.
Hearing the spherical magistrate's words, Little Treasure Ying Tianlong almost vomited. Your daughter? And she looked like a fairy? Just based on your ball-like appearance, it's already good enough for your daughter to have a human appearance.
As he thought about this, he let out a "hmm" sound. This sound revealed the suspicion in his heart.
"I won't hide it from your highness. Although this lowly servant looks a bit ugly, this little daughter is really as this lowly servant said. How about this, this humble servant will call my daughter over, and your highness can take a look with your own eyes.”
"Oh, since that's the case, let this king have a look at young miss's beauty.”Little Treasure Ying Tianlong said lewdly.
"Your highness, please wait a moment. This humble servant will call my daughter over.”Yuan Long said eagerly. Hmph, as long as my daughter is by your side, I'm not afraid that you'll become soft and gentle. However, whether his daughter could do as he wished was still unknown.
Just as Little Treasure and Ying Tianlong were about to go to the Second Hall to see how beautiful their daughter would be after the round ball paid, a black-robed guard who ran over to report something almost ruined the good thing.
After Little Treasure Ying Tianlong heard the black-robed guard's report, he frowned and nodded. He then said to Yu 'er,"Follow this Senior Martial Brother back to the residence and send a messenger pigeon. Order the three teams of lions, tigers, and eagles to hide nearby and wait for orders. Each team will send out two scouts in disguise to scout. I will then bring the black-robed guards to meet up with them. We will discuss further after we have a clear understanding of the situation.”
"Yes, this subordinate will do as you say." Yu 'er and the black-robed guard cupped their fists and quickly left.
At this time, the spherical magistrate Yuan Long came to the Second Hall. Behind his round body, a handsome little servant girl supported a beautiful girl and walked over.
When Little Treasure Ying Tianlong saw this, he pretended to be anxious and pushed the spherical magistrate to the side. Then, he began to size up the young lady lecherously. The young lady was very handsome.
Black clouds in a bun, a jade phoenix with pearls in its mouth, two curved eyebrows painted in the blue of distant mountains, and a pair of eyes clear and moist with autumn water.
Her face was like a lotus petal, her cheeks were like jade, her lips were like cherries, and she was charming.
Little Treasure Ying Tianlong suspected that this woman was the daughter of the spherical magistrate. Wasn't the difference a little too great?
The spherical magistrate saw Little Treasure Ying Tianlong staring at him with a puzzled look and hurriedly said,"Ruoying, greet his highness.”After speaking to his daughter, the ball-shaped magistrate turned to Little Treasure and Ying Tianlong."Your Highness, this is my daughter Ruo Ying.”
Her two curved eyebrows slightly furrowed, her cherry-like lips tightened, and her charming body slightly bent. The woman unwillingly bowed to Little Treasure and Ying Tian Long as a form of greeting.
Although his manners were not good, Little Treasure Ying Tianlong did not mind. He said to the spherical magistrate,"Magistrate, is this sister really your daughter?”
"Your highness, this is my daughter Ruoying. Does your highness still like it?"
"Not bad, not bad. Sister is really a national beauty. Men, send my Sister Ruoying back to the residence and tell Eldest Aunt that she knows that all the family members in the residence must treat my Sister Ruoying well.”Little Treasure Ying Tianlong didn't care if Yuan Ruoying was willing or not. He called people over and forcefully brought her back to the residence.
He didn't know what would happen after this, so he would watch the next exciting segment.
