Chapter 268 Room 8
People from all timelines were enraged upon hearing this. This damned swindler has no shame whatsoever in robbing and murdering people for money!
If they could, they really wanted to rush into the small screen and give Fang Ba a good shake on the shoulder, tell him to wake up!
You're a scammer, you know that?! You're a scammer!!!
……
Lin Ke continued, "After Fang Ba returned with a bruised and swollen face, the woman cried and said that he had gone too far and that she must go to the government to report him for abusing his power!"
"Then he bought good wine and food to tell Fang's mother and Fang Ba not to be angry, but Fang Ba was still angry, so he quickly got drunk and passed out."
"At night, the woman tied Fang Ba's hands and feet with a rope and covered his mouth and nose with a quilt. In the end, Fang Ba was suffocated to death. The next morning, the woman pretended to be unaware of the situation and shouted for Fang Ba's mother to come over."
"Only then did Fang's mother realize that her son's body was already cold, but she was deceived by the woman into thinking that it was caused by the beating she received the day before. So the two of them went to the government office together to sue the shop for murder."
"Seeing that things had escalated and the boss was being pursued by the authorities, he was trembling with fear. The woman then began to persuade the housekeeper's mother: 'The dead cannot be brought back to life. Why not settle this privately and take some money to make a living? I'm willing to take care of you in your old age when I have money...'"
"Mother Fang agreed with the request, and told the officials that she was willing to settle. She said if the cloth shop owner was willing to compensate her, then she wouldn't hold a grudge."
"Upon hearing this, the cloth shop owner immediately gave him two hundred taels of silver, but even so, he still received twenty strokes of the cane."
"But what I didn't expect was that the woman and the two hundred taels of silver disappeared that very night. Only then did Fang's mother realize that her family had been deceived. But her son was gone, her money was gone, and she had cried herself blind. You can imagine what her future would be like."
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: This swindler is truly hateful! ...? %... (using very vulgar language)
A spoiled young man from the Song Dynasty: One person ruined an entire family!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: ...? %... (swearing venomously)
A bystander from the Song Dynasty commented: What's scary is that this isn't the only example!
……
"That's why scammers are truly despicable. The cases recorded in this book are quite typical. You can all go and read the book; I'll upload it after the broadcast."
"Although this is a common saying, I still want to say that there are no such things as easy money in this world. Please don't be greedy for small gains; sometimes it might just be a scam!"
After finishing this, Lin Ke found some transformation videos online and continued, "Oh right, I'll show you some transformation videos from later generations."
All the people in the palace saw on the small screen a handsome man dressed in black, but as soon as the music started, he immediately transformed into a seventy-year-old man!
All women: =????(??? ????) Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
The scene shifts, and a beautiful girl appears, her voice gentle and soft, just like a woman from Jiangnan. But as soon as annoying music starts playing, she instantly transforms into a burly man picking his toes!
Many people felt disgusted upon seeing this man. What is this?! How can it be a man?!
Miss Lin is doing this on purpose, isn't she?! Why is it so provocative when it's their turn?! Back off! Back off!
Next time they encounter a woman of unknown origin, they'll run away immediately! This is all fake!!!
……
The live broadcast continues.
Lin Ke suddenly remembered a rather amusing record from the Qianlong era, so she continued, "There is a record from the Qianlong era about lychees. As you know, these are very precious and difficult to transport, so the quantity of lychees transported to the capital was very small."
"So in June of the twenty-fifth year of Qianlong's reign, twenty lychees were delivered. Then, the fourth emperor began to distribute the lychees. First, the Empress Dowager received one, and the rest were given to some of the concubines, but only one each." (From "The Register of Hami Melon and Lychee")
"Of course, if there are a lot of food, Qian Xiaosi might eat a few more himself, but the rest will be distributed among the princes, princesses, concubines, and members of the royal family, so even with so many people, each person will still get one."
"The kind of flamboyant style that Su Shi displayed to the point of being infuriating is probably not something that ordinary people can experience!"
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: ...
The optimist Su Dongpo: One for each person, what kind of taste are we supposed to get?!?
A spoiled young man from the Song Dynasty: Good heavens! Some are dying of thirst while others are drowning in floods!
A certain romantic scholar from the Tang Dynasty: The Emperor himself only eats a few! Is this what they mean by scarcity making things valuable?!
In another timeline, Su Shi, who was still in Huizhou, was stunned. He glanced at the plate of lychees on the table, swallowed hard, and without the slightest hesitation, began to show off!
The later Qing Dynasty emperors only had a few people each, which is just too tragic! He originally thought that transportation wouldn't be a problem during the Qing Dynasty!
It seems this problem will only be solved in future generations! I wonder if he'll ever have the chance to see it!
……
"Oh, by the way, you shouldn't eat too many lychees; this was mentioned when discussing Su Shi."
"Here is a record from Su Shi in 'The Record of Mutual Influences Among Things,' where he wrote: 'Eating lychees will make one drunk, which is what we call getting "heatiness," and will cause symptoms such as swollen and painful gums and mouth ulcers.'"
"Lychee peel is bitter and slightly cold in nature. After eating the fruit, you can soak the lychee peel in water and drink the infusion to relieve internal heat."
"However, there's a folk belief that boiling lychee peels and seeds together in water can achieve the same effect! But I doubt Qian Xiaosi and his friends would use that method, since they only eat three or four lychees!"
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: ...
Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty: No one can boast as much as Su Shi!
A bystander in the Ming Dynasty commented: Hahaha, it wasn't someone who gained weight on their way to exile!
A certain official of the Song Dynasty: !!!
……
The Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty
Emperor Qianlong was furious and embarrassed. What nonsense! He said they didn't need any methods to reduce internal heat!
Is there no other fruit in the world besides lychee for him to choose from?
This is utterly outrageous! Next time the tribute comes from below, he'll definitely show off five of them!
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
After finishing this, Lin Ke gulped down a large glass of water, and then continued, "Speaking of which, the emperor's replies to memorials during the Qing Dynasty were sometimes quite funny. Let me give you a few examples."
