Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 386: Don’t make waves
Xia Yunqing was moved and finally took out a letter from her arms and handed it to him: "In that case, take this letter and go back to continue the exam! With this letter, the examiner will not embarrass you. As for you,
Regarding my father’s case, I promise you that I will give him a fair verdict!”
Chen Yu's heart trembled, his eyes were slightly red, and he did not dare to raise his head to face the Chief Assistant, so he kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Chief Assistant, for being a late student! I will definitely live up to your expectations for being a late student! If you are lucky enough to get an official position,
, I will definitely be an upright official like you!"
Xia Yunqing nodded happily and said softly: "Okay, go quickly! It's too late to go back, and this letter from me will be useless!"
Chen Yu held back the tears that came from his eyes, stood up slowly, lowered his head, took the letter with both hands, bowed again, and then strode away.
Xia Yunqing sighed and said to Gu Jiyun who was standing aside: "Let's go, we've finished watching all the dramas we should watch in the past few days, and it's time for us to have a good meeting with the money-obsessed prefect Wang!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
----------------------------------------
At this time, the prefect Wang woke up from his nap. He saw the green pines and green bamboos outside the window, which were lush and green, quiet and leisurely, and his mind was naturally relaxed.
He walked leisurely back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, chatting with the master next to him: "It seems that this summer will be very hot. I don't know where to go to escape the heat?"
The master has been with him for many years and naturally knows his thoughts: "In previous years, adults would choose to build a summer resort in the mountains for summer vacation. It is cool and elegant! How about doing the same this year?"
But the prefect Wang curled his mouth and was a little dissatisfied: "That costs too much money! I just built a house this year, but I can't afford so much money! I think it's better to go to the temple, which doesn't cost money and
Very cool."
The master was startled, and quickly held up his hands to apologize: "The old man is still smart! But the villain is short-sighted!"
The two were talking and laughing when they suddenly heard a steady voice from behind: "Although the mountains and temples are nice, they are not as cool as the lobby of the Prefecture. In my opinion, it is better to escape the heat in the lobby!"
The prefect Wang and the master were stunned, and quickly followed the sound, only to see Gu Jiyun striding over with Xia Yunqing, both of them with serious expressions on their faces.
The master was startled and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. He quickly and quietly stepped aside to watch what happened.
The prefect Wang didn't know why, and asked with a smile: "Master Chief Assistant, what do you mean by this?"
Xia Yunqing smiled coldly and scolded in a stern voice: "Because there are suns in other places, but there is no sun in your lobby. Wouldn't it be very cool?"
Until now, the prefect Wang didn’t know that the disaster was coming, so he just thought it was a joke: "Master Xia is joking!"
"Are you kidding?"
Xia Yunqing's face darkened and he shouted: "Wang Maotian, as a local official, you only care about corruption and bribery, and don't care about the life and death of the people! In addition to the white silver and the golden gold in your eyes, do you still have a bright and sunny sky above your head?!"
When the prefect Wang realized what he was doing, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "I know I made a mistake in this humble position! I hope the chief minister will be more generous! I will correct my mistakes in this humble position!"
Xia Yunqing put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly: "I have been here for many days and have been secretly observing: Not only did you not restrain yourself because of my arrival, you still went your own way and even worsened! Will you change? What a joke! Come on, take off your clothes.
Take off his official uniform and take off his official hat! Put him in prison and wait for his punishment!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Gu Jiyun immediately led several people forward and stripped him naked.
The prefect Wang stood there and cursed angrily: "Xia Yunqing, I am a relative of Wang Su. If you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that he will settle a score with you?"
Xia Yunqing laughed loudly and said: "What's wrong with Wang Su? I have brought down countless relatives of the emperor, so why should I be afraid of a mere Wang Su?"
The prefect Wang angrily jumped to his feet and cursed: "You...you...! I am an official of the imperial court. Even if I am guilty, I should be punished by the emperor's decree. You are just a chief minister. How can you remove me from my post and punish me?"
A crime? Aren't you afraid that I will sue you for falsely preaching an imperial edict?
?」
Xia Yunqing held her head high and said with a cold smile: "As the chief assistant, I have the right to kill lower-level officials first and then punish them later, let alone just remove you from your post and put you in jail! Someone, take him away!"
Several Jinjiawei men carried the disheveled and disheveled Wang Zhifu to the prison. He cursed all the way until he could no longer hear his voice...
The petty officials in Jinglong Mansion who had taken the people's money were all put into prison, and the government offices were completely vacated, waiting for a clear official to come. The people lived as before, as if nothing had happened.
Half of the people are looking forward to the arrival of a master from the blue sky, who can live a peaceful life. The other half of the people know: the jackal is gone, and the new one may be a tiger!
----------------------------------------
The cool breeze has dissipated the heat of early summer, and the distant mountains embrace the green branches and become wild and interesting. The moving clouds follow the horse-drawn carriages, casting patches of cool shadow.
The members of the mission waved their riding whips and walked for another half month, and finally entered the territory of Daming Mansion with great interest.
In front of us is a lush green land, with rolling wheat waves and lush grass along the road. The charming scenery invites everyone to explore the beauty.
There is a green flag for selling wine hanging on the door of the hotel. From a distance, you can see a solitary peak towering upright. In front of the steps, there are deep valleys. There are other people living on the other side of the mountain.
The gurgling stream is crystal clear, and occasionally a few small fish swim leisurely by with their bodies swaying.
Lu Ning took off his shoes and socks, sat by the stream, and put his white jade-like feet in the water. He suddenly felt a sense of coolness, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised: "We have already walked half the way to Daming Mansion.
!」
Hu Qi sauntered over with a smile, lifted her robe and sat next to her, sighing softly: "The days of running away for more than half a year, every time I think about it, it feels like a dream."
He saw a cluster of wild flowers blooming by the river. He couldn't help but pick them and put them on Lu Ning's temples: "The ancients liked to compare flowers to beauties, but I think beauties are more beautiful than flowers!"
"You're glib!" Lu Ning raised his hand and touched the flowers on his temples, with a faint blush on his face, but he was very impressed by Hu Qi's romance.
Hu Qi stared at her cute and cute face with a slight smile, and her heart skipped a beat.
A gust of wind ruffled Lu Ning's hair on her forehead. He raised his hand to arrange her hair and touched her smooth face intentionally or unintentionally.
"What are you talking about?" A voice as sweet as a silver bell suddenly came.
Immediately, a slender black shadow rushed over like lightning, sat down between the two of them, and looked at the two of them with a pretending smile.
"I didn't say anything." Hu Qi had no choice but to retract his hand, stood up slowly, and sat down on the other side of Lu Ning.
But as soon as he sat down, Mu Qianqian followed and sat between the two of them again.
Hu Qi looked at Mu Qianqian who was behaving strangely. His face changed color slightly, but Mu Qianqian turned a blind eye.qs
Just at this time, Totu also walked over with his head held high, but sat down next to Mu Qianqian.
"Sister Qianqian, I heard that you asked someone to beat that bitch--"
"Shh!" Mu Qianqian was startled, and quickly covered Tuotuo's mouth, looked in the direction of Xia Yunqing, and then scolded in a low voice: "If Mr. Xia hears this, I will be punished again!"
"Oh, do you really think Master Xia doesn't know?" Lu Ning curled his lips and said, "He is just an adult who doesn't remember the faults of villains, and he doesn't have the same experience as you."
"Humph! This heroine is not a villain! Master Xia is wise. He knew that this heroine was punishing women for doing evil, so he naturally turned a blind eye!" Mu Qianqian wrinkled her nose and asked Lu Ning
Made a face.
Toto stared at her and laughed: "You are indeed a chivalrous woman. I admire you, Toto! Why don't you join the caravan? I will protect you from now on! Let's travel together in the world and do chivalry!"
Mu Qianqian curled her lips and muttered dissatisfied: "Join a caravan? You have to run around all day long, and you can't steal things! It's tiring and not cost-effective. I don't want it!"
Toto scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "Then why don't I accept you as my sister?"
Son, this way you don’t have to work, and I will give you all the money I earn!”
"younger sister?"
Mu Qianqian rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers: "I am the sister of you and Lu Ning, so I am the daughter of the old gang leader? Then not only will I have a backer, but I will also have countless money to spend, thousands of dollars.
Can you command tens of thousands of brothers?"
As soon as she said this, Mu Qianqian couldn't help but dance.
Toto looked at the innocent Mu Qianqian in a daze, and said with a silly smile: "Okay, you can say whatever you want! I will take you to your adoptive father and ask him to recognize you as his adopted daughter. From now on, we will play together every day!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Ning and Hu Qi looked at each other and sighed tacitly:
It seems that Toto may have fallen in love with each other during the day and night together, but he is ignorant, but he doesn't know how to express it, and he doesn't understand that this is a relationship between a man and a woman.
What he didn't even know was that Mu Qianqian had already been in love with Yan Rong.
Hu Qi stood up, stretched out, and stretched out his hand to Lu Ning: "Now that we have rested, let's continue on our way! We have to get into the city before dark."
"Okay!" Lu Ning smiled at him and handed his hand over.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qianqian stood up first, grabbed Lu Ning's hand and pulled her up.
"It's getting so late, no wonder I'm hungry! Let's go into the city quickly and get something to eat!"
With that said, Mu Qianqian took Lu Ning's arm and walked forward chatting and laughing.
By this time, Hu Qi had completely confirmed his suspicion: it seemed that the female thief was following them, and her purpose might not be simple!
Several people remounted their horses and soon passed under the archway of Daming Mansion and entered the town.
Different from the pleasant scenery in the suburbs, the atmosphere in the town suddenly became gloomy:
There were few pedestrians on the road, and most of the businesses on both sides of the street closed their doors to no longer welcome customers. There was not even the sound of vendors selling in the streets and alleys.
The common people who occasionally passed by all had sad faces. When they saw strangers entering the city, they looked at them with strange eyes and shook their heads repeatedly.
