"Old Zhu, tell me the truth. How much did you take?"
Fang Yunfei asked curiously.
"Greed?"
"Do we old men still need to be greedy?"
Hearing Fang Yunfei say that he was corrupt, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately had an incredulous look on his face!
The entire Ming Dynasty belongs to our Old Zhu, why would we need to be greedy?
Fang brat, who are you looking down on?
Looking at the indignant Old Zhu, Fang Yunfei decided to use numbers to talk to him,"
"Then Old Zhu, let me read your fortune.”
"As a fourth-grade official, your monthly salary is twenty-four stones of rice, which is equivalent to one hundred and twenty strings of copper coins.”
"These treasures are worth at least 100,000 strings. You're just a small commander. You'll have to save up for seventy years without eating or drinking. You're telling me that you don't have to be greedy?"
"Old Zhu, you didn't take the entire Cao Jiang Navy for nothing, did you?”
"I'm warning you, the Emperor hates corruption the most.”
"Old Zhu, you have to be careful that the Embroidered Uniform Guards will skin you and use you as a figurine in the local temple.”
Fang Yunfei warned with a serious expression.
During the Hongwu period, corrupt officials were severely punished.
Embezzlement of sixty taels of silver was enough to skin him alive and behead him in public.
Old Zhu's black money was so crazy that his entire family might not even be enough to be puppets in the local temple!
He said this for Old Zhu's own good.。
"Ahem…"
"Fang brat, what are you thinking?"
"These are all rewards from the Imperial Court for our old man's victory in battle. What can you do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely embarrassed.
He didn't expect Fang to be so sensitive to numbers.
Mistakes! Mistakes!
"Oh…"
"Really?"
Fang Yunfei deliberately dragged out his voice and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with disdain.
Old Zhu, who are you looking down on?
You're the third in command of the Jiang Navy, where did you go to win so many battles?
Besides, if the imperial court rewarded you with so much as a fourth-rank official, how would they reward Xu Da, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Li Wenzhang?
Even if the emperor pawned his pants, he probably wouldn't have that much money.
You're pushing my intelligence to the ground!
"Benefactor Little Fang, I can guarantee that my family's money came from an open and aboveboard source. You don't have to worry."
"Other than these gold and silver items, this old woman has something else to give to benefactor Xiao Fang.”
"In the future, if Benefactor has any problems, feel free to bring it to this old woman.”
Fang Yunfei's words made Zhu Yuanzhang's face turn red.
Fortunately, Lady Ma was a worldly woman. As she helped Zhu Yuanzhang out of his predicament, she took off a string of Buddha beads from her wrist and handed it to Fang Yunfei.
"This…this is…"
"Hiss…"
"Heavens! Am I dreaming?"
“……”
Seeing the Buddha beads that Empress Ma handed to Fang Yunfei, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
Although this string of Buddha beads was ordinary, it was given to him by the abbot when he was a monk in Huangjue Temple.
When he got married, he gave it to Lady Ma as a token of love.
For the past few decades, Lady Ma had always worn it on her body and never left it.
He didn't expect that he would give it to Fang Yun Fei today.
"Mother, this…"
"There's no need to say anymore! Little benefactor first cured your back carbuncle, and then saved my mother's illness. Could it be that he was not worthy of this string of Buddha beads?”
The Crown Prince was just about to object when he was interrupted by Empress Ma.
This time, even Li Shan Chang and Xu Da, the founding fathers of the country, were completely jealous.
Who among these important officials of the imperial court didn't know?
In Great Ming, Empress Ma's words were more effective than His Majesty's!
With this string of Buddha beads, Fang brat could be said to be running amok in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Even if he were to burn down the entire palace tomorrow, Lady Ma would still be able to protect him!
As long as he had this string of Buddha beads, no one would dare to do anything to Fang brat.
Compared to the Buddha beads personally given by Lady Ma, what was the death-exemption medallion at home?
Damn it!
It was really like comparing people to death, and comparing goods to goods to throw them away.
He was too late.
He wondered if it was still too late to ask his children and grandchildren to learn medicine.
"Since the elder doesn't dare to refuse, then this junior will accept it.”
Seeing that Old Madam Zhu had already said so much, Fang Yunfei could only take the Buddha beads.
"Not bad. It's just that the style is a little old and doesn't match my temperament.”
Fang Yunfei wore the Buddha beads on his hand and shook them a few times under the sunlight.
Not only had this string of Buddha beads been wrapped in paste, but it had also completely turned into jade!
All of these proved that this string of Buddha beads was indeed Old Madam Zhu's favorite item, and she played with it in her hands from time to time.
However, other than this, there was nothing strange about it.
At most, it could be considered an old bracelet.
However, it was given by the old man, so he put it on first.
Just take it as coaxing the old lady to be happy.
Xu Da, Li Shan Chang, and Blue Jade instantly felt as if ten thousand curses were whistling in their hearts!
Heavens!
The death-exemption medallions that His Majesty gave us are all wiped in the main hall every day.
On the first and fifteenth of every month, he would bring his entire family to bathe and change their clothes, burn incense and kneel.
Not only did you casually wear it on your hand, but you even think that it doesn't match your aura.
This old man can't take it anymore!
Heavens!
The earth!
Hurry up and cast a lightning bolt to kill this pretentious person!
