Hearing Yan Ting's question, Yu Bingru coughed lightly and said: "It is inconvenient for me to participate in your alliance's secret meeting, so how about you allow me to avoid it?"
Yan Ting smiled and said: "The mermaid is seeing someone outside. According to the rules, she must avoid it, but based on your friendship with us, you will definitely not betray us, so you can consider it a guest."
After she finished speaking, she cleared her throat and said seriously: "Where is the handyman boy? Showing the seats to the guests."
There was a moment of silence, and then Mu Yun pointed to the tip of his nose and said, "The leader is calling me?"
Yan Ting looked at Mu Yun and said, "Otherwise, who else should I call? Haven't you heard everyone's duties?"
Mu Yun smiled bitterly to himself, and had no choice but to stand up and pass a chair. Fortunately, the space behind him was spacious and there were many tables and chairs, so he didn't expect to be overwhelmed.
Yan Ting saw that everyone was sitting, and then she calmed down and said: "Dear colleagues, on this wonderful night, the leader of this alliance would like to express to everyone... specially to everyone... Well, let's not talk about the situation, let's get down to business."
Reluctantly suppressing her embarrassment, Yan Ting said in a serious voice: "Since our alliance was founded, thanks to the great help of all my colleagues, our achievements have been remarkable."
"From the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, starting from the Zhu family's Huanwen in Xinfu, to the twelfth lunar month, ending with the Liang family's Fukuan in Pingliang, our alliance has done a total of eight businesses, large and small, with a total income of 2,683,000 taels of silver."
"Among them, 1.2 million taels were used to donate to border defense, 400,000 taels were used for famine relief, more than 736,700 taels were used to build flood and drought roads, and more than 400,000 taels were used for daily expenses."
Mu Yun was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but interject: "More than 400,000 taels...daily expenses?"
Yan Ting blinked and said slightly uncomfortably: "Yeah... a lot?"
Mu Yun remembered that the white fox fur he wore in Chang'an City was worth more than four thousand and five thousand taels. He suddenly realized it and said with a wry smile: "No... the alliance leader continued."
Yan Ting hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly: "Do you have anything to say?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but Kong Fang finally raised his hands as a courtesy and said: "My subordinates have only just joined the alliance, and they have not made any achievements yet. You really shouldn't talk too much."
Yan Ting waved her hands and said, "It's okay, Xiao Kong, just say it."
Kong Fang coughed and said, "Thank you, Alliance Leader. In fact, Brother Mu was just suspicious, and my subordinates also felt the same way. The daily expenses amount to more than 400,000 taels, which actually exceeds the amount of famine relief. It is indeed..."
He hesitated to speak, but Yan Ting felt guilty for a while, and said calmly: "But we didn't spend much money, it's just normal expenses."
Kong Fang shook his head and said: "Ignoring other things for now, just talking about the clothes of the alliance leader, I'm afraid it doesn't cost less than ten thousand taels of silver, right?"
Yan Ting murmured: "It's not something I wear every day. Besides, I'm already very frugal and I definitely don't mean to show off anything."
After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Zhu Fengyin and Shang Hongxiu, and saw that both of them also looked embarrassed, as if they were speechless.
Upon seeing this, Kong Fang said warmly: "The alliance leader donated money to the border defense and built construction projects for the benefit of the people. These are all righteous actions to help the country. I sincerely admire and appreciate it. But if the alliance leader can exercise a little more restraint himself, he will be truly invulnerable, and so will his subordinates."
There will never be any more criticism.”
Yan Ting's cheeks turned red after being told by Kong Fang. After a long while, she said bitterly: "Xiao Kong, you are right. I will pay more attention to it in the future and try not to be rash."
Kong Fang saluted solemnly and said: "The leader of the alliance is magnanimous and magnanimous, and he listens to the loyal advice that goes against the ears. The subordinates are very pleased."
Yan Ting's clear eyes sparkled, and she nodded and said: "I have to thank you first for reminding me that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had Wei Zheng as his critic, and you don't have to give in too much, Xiao Kong. Why don't you be promoted now and serve as the 'Prime Minister' of our alliance?"
?”
Kong Fang smiled and said: "Thank you very much for the alliance leader's appreciation. It's just that my subordinate's qualifications are still relatively young. I'll leave the post of 'prime minister' to you later."
Yan Ting pursed her lips and smiled. At this moment, she heard Mu Yun cough dryly and said: "Leader Mingjian, when it comes to admonishment, are your subordinates also considered to be critics?"
Yan Ting glanced at Mu Yun and said angrily: "Damn it, Xiao Mu, you still dare to say that you know that the leader of the alliance is not doing something right, but you still keep it secret and say 'no'. You are simply deliberately causing the leader of the alliance to betray their relatives, so how can you?"
If you can be considered a sycophant, you are obviously a very sycophantic minister."
After hearing this, Mu Yun was about to cry without tears, and Zhu Fengyin said calmly: "Compared with Brother Mu, we have been living with the little... leader for a long time, but we have never given any advice. I am afraid it is a greater sin.
, please also ask the leader to deal with it."
Yan Ting coughed and said: "The guardians and law enforcement elders on the left and right have all made great contributions to this alliance, which is enough to offset this fault. Only the handyman Tong Xiaomu, huh... Since the position can no longer be reduced, we will use fines to offset the crime. Everyone agrees.
How about next?"
Mu Yun was startled and said: "Salary penalty? Is there any salary money?"
Yan Ting curled her lips and said: "Of course, since everyone has no objections, we will ask Elder Lao Chuan Gong to distribute this year's salary, but the handyman boy will be exempted directly."
Kong Fang nodded and said yes, and took out four red envelopes from his arms. Three of them were handed to Zhu Fengyin, Shang Hongxiu and Lei Heng in turn. The remaining one was held in his hand, and then he said with a smile: "Please
Alliance leader, please tell me how to deal with Brother Mu’s share?”
Mu Yun had already felt regretful. He looked at the red envelope eagerly, thinking that even touching it would be good.
Unfortunately, Yan Ting ignored her and said leisurely: "Just now, Xiao Kong insisted on not being appointed as prime minister. This red envelope is just a reward. I believe everyone has no objections, right?"
Everyone smiled after hearing this, but Mu Yun was the only one who was embarrassed. After sighing, he said with a bitter face: "The leader of the alliance is very clear about his merits and his subordinates are sincerely convinced. How dare they have any objections."
Yan Ting said with satisfaction: "Then it's settled, Xiaomu, you have to remember the lesson. Our Six Heroes Alliance is going to compete in the world. This is no joke. If we dare to be so unruly in the future, our alliance leader will not be able to protect himself."
you."
Mu Yun's heart was shocked, and he felt that what he said made sense. Just as he was thinking with his eyebrows lowered, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Die Lao Gu! Little vixen! Come out quickly and help me!"
Everyone was startled. Yan Ting immediately put on a pretty face and snorted coldly: "This little brother always likes to go against the leader of this alliance. I must teach him a lesson today. Hmm... everyone, follow me."
After saying that, she stood up and left first, followed by Zhu Fengyin and others. Mu Yun was hesitating when he heard Yu Bingru chuckle and say: "You, do you still dare to make fun of others in the future?"
Mu Yun was even more depressed, and said helplessly: "Ah Bing, why are you trying to push me? Why don't you imitate Ting'er's tone? Don't you think I'm oppressing you enough?"
Yu Bingru became even more amused after hearing this. At this moment, Kong Fang came closer and said, "Brother Mu, why don't you go with us? If you annoy me again, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable."
Mu Yun's heart moved and he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Kong, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Can you let me see the red envelope?"
Kong Fang nodded slightly and said, "Of course it doesn't matter. Brother Mu, please take it."
Mu Yun took it and opened it, and immediately felt stars popping up in his eyes - if there really was a regret medicine in this world, then he would have to buy one no matter what.
