Father Xi Luck quickly got up from the ground, took one step at a time, and almost crawled away.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing.
Taifu Tong sighed secretly. It would be inappropriate for him to remain silent at this time.
But with His Majesty's level of anger, he was very particular about what he said.
"This is really too much!"
The Holy Master was furious and turned to look at Taifu Tong, whose face was more angry than him. He was a little dazed for a moment.
Taifu Tong is still outputting.
His frown could kill a fly.
"I just said that he wouldn't be so crazy. He would just turn around and cause such a thing. He would also dare to tie up the inspector you sent over. I think he doesn't want this life!"
"Then the money is distributed to the people, does it belong to the people? It is so difficult to build a city-state, and it is so difficult to maintain the prosperity of a country. Why can't Qi Yan be considerate and considerate of His Majesty!"
"Stupid, making your own decisions!"
It seemed that he was speaking so passionately that Taifu Tong didn't even notice that the Holy Emperor's eyes had fallen on him.
A long sigh.
Taifu Tong cursed fiercely.
He laughed bitterly, and when he raised his arms, he was about to kneel down in fear.
"I am rude. It's because Qi Yan did things too disorganized. I got excited for a moment..."
The Holy Emperor shook his head, but stopped his movement and did not let him kneel down.
He glanced at Taifu Tong helplessly. After all, this minister had been with him for a long time and had almost figured out his temperament.
"You!"
The Holy One laughed and cursed. Although he was still angry, he was much calmer than before.
Only then did Taifu Tong smile and go up to give the Holy Sage his blessing.
"You must not be too angry about this."
"Qi Yan, that kid has always been naughty. If he caught your temper, he would have prepared some way to escape from the crime."
"You also saw the banquet that day. It was a huge amount of cash. It is better to use this to fill the national treasury and build mansions than to give it to the people and only hear thanks and see no real results."
As expected, the Holy Master's brows furrowed.
Taifu Tong had a faint smile on his face.
"I have something else to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Say it quickly."
The Holy One looked at him impatiently, obviously hating him for showing off.
Taifu Tong lowered his head.
"If you give out such a large sum of money, the sensible people will know that this is a grace given by you. Those who are ignorant will only see the person in front of them who is giving them the money."
"So at that time...who would they give their most sincere gratitude to?"
Taifu Tong bit the last few words lightly, with a somewhat ethereal meaning.
Sure enough, when the Holy One heard this, his face became gloomier than ever before.
The storm is coming.
Taifu Tong quickly lowered his head in a gesture of respect, but his eyes stayed on the back of the Holy Master's hand that was tightening his grip and showing blue veins.
As he said, the Holy Hand may forgive a minister who disobeys orders and makes independent decisions, but he will never forgive a family that has ulterior motives and wants to seize the people's faith.
This is a matter of dignity for people in high positions.
…
"are you sure?"
Ling Yutong pursed her lips tightly, still looking quite worried.
Chen Qiushui spread his hands: "I am 80% certain. Let me tell you, this matter is certain."
He held out his finger.
"But there is still 20%, I really can't guarantee it. After all, I am not involved in such a dangerous plan."
Ling Yutong lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The deadline for Qi Yan to run errands was getting closer and closer, and she was getting more and more panicked.
She couldn't convince herself that Qi Yan was really ready.
After being angry for so long, my anger has become like a creeper clinging to my heart, which is hard to get rid of easily.
But she was even more panicked because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to save him.
"No! There is some movement in the palace. Today, many guards were suddenly sent out of the city. Those people are well behaved and don't look like ordinary guards."
Shopkeeper Liu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared with an unprecedented panic on his face.
He has been on vacation since the Xingyue Pavilion was closed. His biggest pleasure on weekdays is to follow the latest hot news in the capital.
Now, as soon as there was some trouble in Miyagi, he rushed to report it.
Ling Yutong's expression suddenly changed.
There was sudden movement in the palace. The Holy One must have discovered what Qi Yan had done, and they wanted to arrest him!
A trace of panic flashed across her eyes, and she closed her eyes, unable to calm down.
"I'll go out for a while."
Before Chen Qiushui had time to speak, he couldn't see her shadow when he raised his head.
He and Shopkeeper Liu looked at each other and slumped their shoulders at the same time.
This matter is difficult to handle.
＊
Qi Yan was arrested.
After three days of non-stop work, he distributed the last bunch of money to the people and asked all the people to return home quickly. He turned around and saw the many guards rushing over, and smiled.
The leader of the guards tensed up and even prepared for a big fight, but was caught off guard and was stunned by Qi Yan's cooperation.
"You..." Why didn't you resist?
Naturally, it was impossible to say such a question. The guard commander was stunned, and with a sullen face, he allowed the person to be escorted away.
The local magistrate was finally released and burst into tears.
The guard commander checked carefully and found that the county magistrate was not injured at all. That's just his mentality...
Qi Yan said: "I didn't expect that the commander would not be in a hurry to escort me back to the capital."
Seeing that he was leisurely checking the extent of the local magistrate's psychological damage, he was not worried at all about him running away.
The commander was choked to a halt.
"you……"
His face darkened: "I was just looking to see if there was a chance to make your crime even worse!"
The commander looked Qi Yan up and down with contemptuous eyes.
"Oh, in the past in the capital, you looked so domineering that the whole world looked down upon you. Now, aren't you still a prisoner?"
"Let me tell you, the Holy One is very angry this time. Have you seen the lineup to arrest you this time? There are guards behind me!"
Qi Yan responded calmly: "Oh, thank you, Your Majesty, for the promotion."
"You! Insolent and arrogant!"
The commander's anger doubled, and he glared at Qi Yan with dark eyes.
He ordered behind him in a cold tone: "Take the criminal Qi Yan and escort him back to Beijing immediately!"
"If the criminal disobeys or escapes on the way, we will not show mercy!"
"As long as people don't die."
Qi Yan felt the commander's malice.
But he didn't care, and didn't even give the commander a look.
Such an attitude undoubtedly made the commander tremble with rage.
But the other party couldn't find a reason to punish him.
Because he was very cooperative.
Regarding the fact that he had distributed all the money to the people and had no intention of taking it back, he admitted his mistake very smoothly, and then refused to repent.
At this time, the carriage had already entered Beijing.
There were countless guards surrounding the carriage, so it was naturally very conspicuous.
Ling Yutong was standing closest to the city gate, dressed in a different style than usual.
But Qi Yan seemed to be aware of it, and his eyes looked in that direction with precision.
His lips pursed.
Even though the other person just glanced at him and turned away, he knew that it was her.
