Chapter 44: In the past, there was nothing to be proud of, but today, there is no limit to the dissolute thoughts.

Xie Qian, who was intoxicated by Ye Qing's quatrains, completely ignored everything around him.

By the time he came to his senses, the second-story boat was already sailing through the waves.

The gentle wind blew the calligraphy in his hand like a dancing beauty.

Xie Qian quickly put it away and carefully put it in his arms.

Xie Qian, a great scholar from Yingchuan Academy and one of the examiners in Chunwei, looked at the clear water and blue sky and said with great emotion:

"Ye Qing, with this poem, will be famous throughout the ages, and countless readers will make this poem their wish!"

"I have a hunch that this poem will become the first among Dengke poems!"

"I'm afraid there will be no poetry that can surpass him!"

I glanced at it a few times and realized that this poem was written very well by the book boy.

Hearing Xie Qian's comments, he couldn't help but gasped, and he stuttered and asked:

"Mr. Xie, your evaluation is too high, isn't it?"

His dissatisfied eyes fell on the book boy, and Xie Qian gave the book boy a slap in the face.

The book boy grimaced in pain and took a step back, covering his forehead.

"Where have you read all the books you've read over the years? I don't ask you to speak well, and I don't ask you to have 10% of Ye Qing's literary talent. You must at least have some appreciation skills, right?"

Xie Qian, who hates the failure of iron to become steel, the more he looks at it, the more he feels that he is a very stupid book boy.

The book boy who was really lazy on weekdays hurriedly bowed his hands and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Thank you, sir, for calming down. I will definitely study hard and write articles in the future."

Seeing this, Xie Qian's face became a little better.

He put his hands behind his hands and looked at the soothing clear water and blue sky, and at the prosperous green forest that was rapidly retreating on both sides, and said loudly:

"Invite Xie Qian to name the gold medal, anonymous."

"In the past, I couldn't boast about being sordid, but now my dissolute thoughts have no limit..."

The impassioned voice floats in the wind.

The backyard of Huaiyang City Government Office.

Inside Chen Yuming's check-in room, which few people set foot in in the past.

At this moment, there were seven or eight people standing in Wuyangyang.

After listening to Wang Liu's revised statement, Chen Yuming looked at the extremely haggard Li Jiaxu with piercing eyes.

"The criminal Qu Ying and his accomplice, the maid, were temporarily detained in the execution room of the government office and their confessions were recorded."

"Yes!" Wang Liu agreed immediately and led the three women towards the torture chamber not far away.

As for Li Jiaxu, who was not named, his originally nervous heart felt a little calmer.

Don't wait for him to ask for mercy.

Chen Yuming stood up, looked at Li Jiaxu solemnly and said:

"Executive member Li, you have made great contributions to our city of Huaiyang in the past. This case can be said to be your family affair, and you are a man with white hair giving a gift to a man with black hair."

"Today, I will remember your good deeds in the past and let you forget the past."

"However, I need you to come up with one hundred thousand snowflake silver to repair the river embankment. Are you willing?"

One hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, although a lot, is not much to Li Jiaxu, but it will still cause a lot of pain.

However, at this moment, he did not hesitate at all, and waved with a happy face.

The butler Han Qi, who was already prepared, quickly took out a small wooden box from his arms.

After taking it, Li Jiaxu opened it and handed it to Chen Yuming with great respect.

"Master Magistrate, here is the proof of two hundred thousand yuan in banknotes. I am willing to donate it to the government office and leave it to the Master Magistrate for disposal."

One hundred thousand.

Give me two hundred thousand!

This is not a simple matter of one meal becoming two meals.

Instead, there was a full one hundred thousand taels of silver, doubled.

Chen Yuming's usually calm heart could not help but beat faster.

Seeing the joy on Li Jiaxu's face, he couldn't help but think of Li Jiaxu's family background.

Chen Yuming stroked his shiny beard and said in a deep voice:

"Exceptor Li, I have been taking care of all my good deeds in Huaiyang over the years. There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, please speak openly."

Ye Qing, who was standing at the door, felt his heart pounding.

Li Jiaxu had said before that what Han Qi took would be of no harm to him.

Right now, the things involved in these two hundred thousand taels of silver were beyond what Ye Qing could imagine.

He is about to become a subordinate official, how can he be involved?

If Zhang Xiuran, who 'spent' 60,000 taels for Ye Qing, knew that someone was willing to spend 200,000 taels for Ye Qing, he would still spend the money on Chen Yuming.

Zhang Xiuran will definitely change his mood and say proudly: "I am still very powerful. I only spent 60,000 taels in the hands of Chen Yuming, a black-hearted fox!"

Li Jiaxu straightened up, turned to look at Ye Qing, and said gratefully:

"Qing Xiaolang's words before made me regret."

"Spring has come to an end and the flowers are falling in the wind, leaving me with pity and no one to share with me! This poem is really good! It speaks to my heart."

"I donated two hundred thousand taels of silver to the government office because I wanted to thank Qing Xiaolang and also thank the prefect for understanding people and making good use of them."

"If Qing Xiaolang hadn't taken over this case, I'm afraid I would have lived with regrets for the rest of my life and died alone."

Ye Qing was numb.

Completely numb.

I never expected that Li Jiaxu would give such a big gift.

Is this harmless?

This obviously does no good at all.

If the incident spreads out, how can he still hang out in the government office?

Should subordinates and officials not regard him as a thorn in their side?

Before he became a subordinate official, he had earned two hundred thousand taels of silver for the government.

Doesn’t this make people jealous?

It seems that you are capable, but they are all deadbeats, right?

They must be worried that their future promotion opportunities will be squeezed out by Ye Qing.

He will definitely appear friendly on the surface, but secretly try his best to stumbling upon Ye Qing.

As for the huge deterrent effect of two hundred thousand taels of silver, they didn't care at all.

For a merchant to be Ye Qing's backer, from the perspective of those who have been subordinates for generations, or who have become subordinates by relying on a certain official.

Nothing to fear at all.

Merchant!

If they have money but no power, it is their pocketbook.

Being rich and powerful is not something they can afford to offend.

Similarly, a wealthy and powerful merchant would not spend 200,000 taels to buy favors from the prefect to give to a minor official.

He casually used his family's power to pave the way for Ye Qing to become a subordinate.

And they also knew that Li Jiaxu, a great benefactor from Huaiyang, gave this money mainly to Chen Yuming.

With 200,000 snowflakes of silver, the prefect of Qingtian was allowed to use the Internet to comment on the case, and also gave Ye Qing a favor.

Chen Yuming's scrutinizing gaze also fell on Ye Qing, whose expression was frozen.

He has risen from a low-level position as a subordinate, so of course he knows the ropes.

I wanted to give Ye Qing a beating.

But looking at Ye Qing's reaction, we knew that he had figured out the pros and cons.

The next moment, Chen Yuming changed his mind and the playful look in his eyes disappeared.

He directly took the wooden box in his hand and showed a kind smile.

"I will accept Mr. Li's thanks."

"Ye Qing did a really good job handling this case. It can help Mr. Li resolve his knot, which is the icing on the cake."

"Afterwards, I will commend Ye Qing in the government office, so that all officials and subordinates in Huaiyang Mansion can learn from Ye Qing."

boom!

As if being struck by five thunders, Ye Qing's whole body was cold and his breathing was stagnant.

He looked at Chen Yuming in disbelief, his heart skipping a beat.

But Li Jiaxu, who didn't know the ropes, had his wish come true, with a grateful smile on his face.

"So good, so good!"

Chen Yuming, who placed the wooden box on the table, raised his hand, his dark official robe rippling in the air, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Uncle Li, on behalf of the people of Huaiyang Mansion, I would like to thank you for your generous donation. In addition, I will give you a satisfactory answer to this case."

"It's nothing to worry about. The prefect is busy with his affairs, so I won't disturb you."

The prefect raised his hand to see the guests off and said what he wanted. Li Jiaxu left immediately. When he walked to the door, he looked at Ye Qing who had not yet recovered from his emotions. He smiled kindly and said:

"Qing Xiaolang, after I have settled the matter in my house, I will definitely invite Qing Xiaolang to come and have a talk. Please don't make excuses."

Hearing this, Ye Qing came back to his senses instantly.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Moreover, people have good intentions and do bad things with good intentions.

Ye Qing could only suppress his grievance, squeeze out a smile, clasped his fists and bowed:

"The kid will definitely come to your door to bother me later!"

"Haha, so good, so good!"

Li Jiaxu laughed heartily and took Han Qi away.

Chen Yuming and Ye Qing were suddenly the only two people left in the room.

Two foxes, one big and one small, looked at each other.

After two breaths.

Ye Qing blinked his eyes, smiled flatteringly, clasped his fists and bowed:

"Master Magistrate, this boy was able to solve this case only because of your knowledge and good use of people, Master Magistrate, and the help of Wang Liu, the prison clerk."

"In fact, the boy doesn't have much merit. Let's just announce the commendation to everyone in the government office. It's really not necessary."

"You think so?"
