bump bump!

"queue!"

"If you want to eat, just line up for me. If anyone dares to push forward, don't blame me for not beating you for a while!"

The place where the rice is served is very conspicuous because there are several large pots steaming hot.

Zhao Zheng didn't wait for Tu Jie and the others, and went directly to the place where the food was distributed.

"Sir, are you coming to get some food too?"

"How about you stop forward?"

"no, I'm fine."

Zhao Zheng was dressed in gorgeous uniforms, but he stood directly behind the labor team.

The laborer in front of him thought that Zhao Zheng was just passing by, but he never thought that Zhao Zheng actually stood in line behind him and lined up neatly.

This kind of labor is done neither standing nor sitting.

Especially when he saw Tu Jie and Li Dong, two officials he was familiar with at the scene, walking in this direction, the laborer became even more panicked and hurriedly pointed out another team to Zhao Zheng.

"Sir, please don't harm the untouchables."

"The food that you can eat is with the craftsmen. You will definitely not be able to eat the food that our laborers eat."

"What do you mean by food you can eat and food you can't eat?"

Originally, Zhao Zheng just wanted to get a real feel for the conditions at the construction site. After all, the puppet had eaten so much before, so it would be nice to eat some side dishes to calm down his emotions now.

But I never expected to hear such words.

Just at this moment, the two people behind him also caught up.

The point is that both of them said the same thing.

"Master Zhao, how can you eat the food that the laborers eat? It's better to go to the other side. There is food for the craftsmen over there, so you can eat more."

"Sir Zhao, these laborers are ordinary people who have nothing to do and have nothing to do. They were temporarily recruited by the imperial court to catch up with the progress. But don't worry, sir. They just have a little less food. The Ministry of Household Affairs has given them a certain amount of food." wages as compensation.”

The previous sentence was what Li Dong said.

He originally wanted to flatter Zhao Zheng.

Fortunately, Tu Jie knew what kind of people the Zhao family was like. Seeing Zhao Zheng's expression change slightly, he quickly tried to smooth things over and mentioned that the imperial court had paid these laborers wages.

At the same time, someone behind his back quickly pulled Li Dong's official robe without leaving a trace, signaling him not to say that again.

Only then did Li Dong realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he suddenly felt flustered.

He quickly shut up, but who knew that while he was panicking, he dared to take advantage of Zhao Zheng's carelessness and glance at the laborer to tell him not to talk nonsense.

The laborer was shocked. He was just an ordinary farmer and had never experienced such a thing.

So when Zhao Zhengyi looked back at the big pot of food in front of him, he immediately felt that the laborer was shaking slightly.

"Big brother? What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Zheng, who has experienced many things, is still the novice he was before.

He only took one look at the laborer's reaction and instantly guessed that there must be one person between Tu Jie or Li Dong, or both of them were somewhat prestigious at the construction site.

I don't dare to offend him now. I just used small tricks on this old farmer. If he doesn't cooperate, he will definitely vent his anger on this laborer later.

"Master Zhao, I know this fellow countryman. He asked me for leave this morning, saying he was feeling unwell."

"If you don't want to resign, let the medical officer come and check him now."

Snapped!

Tu Jie heard the pig teammate next to him pretending to be clever and unnecessary cover-up, and he slapped his forehead speechlessly.

Done!

Why didn't I see why you were so stupid before?

I should have known that I would have been a little more greedy.

"Haha, I can't tell that Mr. Li still has such a compassionate heart."

Li Dong's operation of not having 300 taels of silver here also made Zhao Zheng smile.

How majestic are these so-called adults in their own territory? It makes them lose their brains.

Compared to those adults in the capital.

No.

Not even half as good as Luo Pan, the magistrate of Qianshu County.

"This fellow, I happen to have some medical skills. According to me, you must have been a little frightened."

"If you are dissatisfied with anything, just say it and I can make the decision for you in everything."

The next moment, Zhao Zheng no longer had any good looks towards Li Dong, and turned to look at the old working farmer in front of him.

"My lord, the untouchables...have nothing to be dissatisfied with."

There is indeed nothing dissatisfying for the old working farmers. After all, in their spare time, they can rely on this job to eat for free, and even get some wages to subsidize their families.

He was really satisfied.

But from the respect Li Dong and Tu Jie had for Zhao Zheng, he could also guess that Zhao Zheng was a bigger official.

A bigger official than Fu Yin?The old farmer has never seen it in his life.

So he was trembling when he answered Zhao Zheng, for fear of making Zhao Zheng dissatisfied.

"Sir, I can do it. I don't have to eat. I will bring dry food from home tomorrow."

When the old farmer saw that Zhao Zheng was silent after hearing his answer, he thought that he was somewhere and said the wrong thing again, so he hurriedly added an explanation.

Zhao Zheng felt really guilty.

"This fellow, you may not have heard of Mr. Zhao before, his surname is Zhao!"

"If you are really dissatisfied? As an on-site inspector sent by the imperial court, I will make rectifications immediately!"

"At the same time, Li Fuyin will definitely cooperate fully!"

"So if you really have any ideas, feel free to say it."

Otherwise, Tu Jie would cause trouble.

Zhao Zheng has been fighting at the top for too long, and his words have become dignified.

How could ordinary people withstand such questions from him?

So Tu Jie immediately emphasized Zhao Zheng's origin again.

And the results are immediate.

"What! Zhao?"

When the laborer heard Tu Jie's emphasis, his trembling stopped immediately. He looked at Zhao Zheng again, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"You are Mr. Zhao from the Holy Palace!"

"What! Mr. Zhao from the Holy Palace?"

Other people at the scene were also attracted by the laborer's shouts.

Then one pass ten, ten pass one hundred.

Zhao Zheng was surrounded instantly.

"Master Zhao, thanks to the Holy Palace, we can live such a good life!"

"Yes, in the past, I could still get paid after being forced into labor. This was something I couldn't even imagine."

"A prosperous age! This is a prosperous age that your Majesty and the Holy Palace can only create together!"

……

"Master Tu, thank you for rescuing me just now! There is no way I can repay you for your kindness."

"Li's mouth is really not as good as yours, Mr. Tu."

Li Dong was looking at Tu Jie now, his eyes no longer as fearful as before.

Tu Jie saved him just now, even a fool could see that.

Looking at Zhao Zheng, who was surrounded by the crowd, Li Dong wiped the sweat that had just appeared on his forehead.

"There is no need to say thank you."

"500 taels!"

Tu Jie smiled and shook his head, then made a five to Li Dong.

Li Dong choked instantly.

But in the end he nodded, he was willing to pay the 500 taels.

"Master Tu, but Mr. Li has a question that he would like to ask."

"Ask, and the answer will be given to you for free."

"Why do lower officials always feel that the adults from the Holy Palace are a little different? In the past, Li has never felt so...such...when facing other superior officials."

"Why is it different? You can't describe that indescribable feeling... The more you experience and get along with me more, you will understand. Remember, being greedy for money or anything like that is not a serious crime in front of the adults of the Holy Palace."

"Then what is a mortal sin?"

Li Dong was a little confused. After all, under the emperor Zhu Chongba, if he was greedy for 50 taels, he would be beheaded, but this was not a serious crime in the Holy Palace where he ruled the same country.

why?

"What is a serious crime? What you almost committed just now is, thanks to me, I gave you a cheap price for 500 taels."

Tu Jie mysteriously walked away with his hands behind his back.

He walked towards the crowd and squeezed in crazily.

Only a crazy and frightened Li Dong was left in place, stunned.
