The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 374 Master Ye signed an agreement with the thousand-year-old scholar, fragrant tea from the Tang Dynasty, and the familiar butter tea!

"Is this your attitude towards welcoming the imperial envoy?"

"How many officials from the prefect level and below have come to Guide Mansion?"

"Have all the state and county officials arrived?"

"Local wealthy businessman and squire, is that all?"

"And you, a high-ranking aristocrat from Guide Mansion, Millennium Confucius Mansion, are everyone here?"

"If you really regarded me as a person, you wouldn't be so perfunctory!"

"."

In everyone's eyes, Ye Qing was standing under the gate of Guide City, standing in front of Kong Kelin who was kneeling on the ground, and standing in front of so many officials and squires who were kneeling on the ground.

It can be said that both his expression and tone are very disgusting.

Judging from Ye Qing's performance, he just disliked the lack of standards for welcoming him.

Listening to Ye Qing's difficult behavior, if they had followed their temper, they would have stopped serving them long ago.

But behind Ye Qing, there were 1,200 people covered in iron!

Given the strength of their equipment, as long as Ye Qing gives the order, they will all be finished!

They never expected that Ye Qing would bring so many soldiers here.

They even questioned Hu Weiyong's words.

As promised, treat each other with courtesy and show your strength, but not be too extravagant and wasteful?

Now it's better. Not only did they not give me any face, they also directly disliked the small size of the welcome!

But the matter has come to this, and what needs to be dealt with has to be dealt with.

Kong Kelin raised his head and suppressed his dissatisfaction and said: "I would like to report to Mr. Ye, we all know that Mr. Ye is an upright official, so we did not be too extravagant and wasteful."

"I would like to ask your Majesty the Imperial Envoy to show his caution!"

As soon as Kong Kelin finished speaking, he looked at the officials, wealthy businessmen and squires behind him.

Everyone also joined in, shouting that Ye Qing was an upright official, the kind of upright official comparable to Bao Qingtian of the Song Dynasty, the kind of upright official who would definitely "return without holding an inkstone."

Ye Qing just smiled helplessly after hearing these unrealistic compliments.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and looked at Xu Da, Wang Baobao, Shen Wan'er, Xu Miaojin and other female family members standing behind him, as well as his many elite soldiers.

Ye Qing asked loudly: "They say that I am an upright official. Do you think this is true?"

The next moment, the sound of ridicule filled the inside and outside of the city wall.

"Integrity official, do you dare to call us, Mr. Ye, an upright official?"

"If he is an upright official, how will we get our armor, how will we get these muskets and crossbows?"

"That is, if he is an upright official, our war horses will not even be able to afford fine salt!"

"."

Everyone looked shocked when they heard these remarks.

They never expected it!

The words "flattering to the horse's legs" are not enough to describe how stupid they are, or even how stupid Hu Weiyong is.

Mr. Ye is really self-aware and realistic!

Kong Kelin quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, we made a mistake. Mr. Ye is a corrupt official, the most corrupt official in the world."

Immediately afterwards, everyone echoed.

Ye Qing looked at the people behind him and said, "How dare they slander me as a corrupt official?"

"A corrupt official can allow you to wear such fine armor and weapons, and can your war horses eat fine salt?"

No one answered Ye Qing, but all the soldiers drew their bows and arrows and aimed at them.

And there is endless killing intent in their eyes!

There is no need for Master Ye's order at all, just a shake of their hands can take away a person's life.

"This"

Kong Kelin never expected that he, Ye Qing, had such a skill.

Ye Qing did not embarrass them, and just waved to Xu Da behind him: "Old Xu, bring over the agreement I prepared before."

Soon, a huge white cloth scroll was spread out in front of them.

This is a huge agreement. The content of the agreement is very simple, that is, they all need to unconditionally support [dividing small people into acres] and [gentry serve as errands and pay food as one].

If they support it unconditionally, they will be pardoned for their crime of slandering the imperial envoy!

If they do not support unconditionally, they will be punished for slandering the imperial envoy and shot to death on the spot with random arrows!

Ye Qing knelt down and smiled at Kong Kelin: "Sign it, stamp it with your fingerprints, and your private seals, and finally give me your land deed and house deed as a guarantee." "After the matter is completed, I will also give you your private seal." Your house deeds and land deeds also destroy this huge agreement."

"Help those officials and wealthy businessmen and gentry who didn't come to sign on your behalf, otherwise, I'll shoot you to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing didn't care whether they agreed or not, and said directly to Wang Baobao: "Old Wang, get me a chair."

"Yes, my lord!"

that's it,

In full view of everyone, Ye Qing sat on a chair, waiting for Xu Miaojin, Mei Duolam and other female family members to make tea.

Soon, they made tea, including fragrant tea from the Central Plains and butter tea from the Plateau.

In the eyes of the Confucian scholars who were kneeling on the ground, as well as the local high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and squires, five stunning beauties presented fragrant tea and only invited Master Ye to taste it.

Next to Ye Qing, the 'housekeepers' known as Lao Xu and Lao Wang were sitting in the back, looking at the imperial envoy who was more carefree than the emperor with envious eyes.

He naturally likes to drink tea from the two dedicated maids and Shen Waner, and is used to it.

"It tastes good, and you should be rewarded!"

After the three of them received the reward, they stepped aside and served fragrant tea to Lao Xu and Lao Wang.

Lao Xu and Lao Wang were a little relieved, but their eyes were always staring at their daughter.

From their point of view, this game is very important.

In fact, this incident was arranged by Lao Xu and Lao Wang!

After they knew that Kong Kelin was going to do this, they immediately set up this trap, and then secretly arranged this tea art competition.

Finally, Ye Qing drank the tea brewed by Xu Miaojin in full view of everyone.

"Who taught you this?"

"Who taught you this craft?"

After Ye Qing drank it, his eyes immediately lit up, and then he asked with wide eyes.

Xu Miaojin was also startled, but she remained very calm on the surface.

Because she knew her craft well, and she also knew that Ye Qing's sudden violent reaction was definitely not because it tasted too bad.

Xu Miaojin smiled lightly and said, "I taught myself!"

"tasty?"

Ye Qing just blinked and returned to the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.

After he drank the tea brewed by Li Xueyan for the first time, his eyes immediately lit up: "Who taught you this craft?"

Li Xueyan smiled lightly and said, "I taught myself. Is it delicious?"

Thinking of this, Ye Qing blinked again, then smiled lightly and said: "It tastes good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the tea in the cup all at once just like that time.

Before Ye Qing could even think about it, Medolam served her the butter tea.

"Butter Milk Tea?"

Ye Qing picked up the tea bowl, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully.

The next moment, he just raised his eyebrows, and because of this exactly the same smell, he returned to the time when he taught Tubo in the Tang Dynasty.

That was the last time he drank the butter tea made for him by Gesang Meiduo before he and Wang Xuance went to Tianzhu.

After drinking, he wrote a letter to Kelsang Medo.

Content of the letter: "You came to me from the grassland, like a snow lotus in full bloom, pure and beautiful."

"The moment I passed by it, I suddenly felt that it was tainted with a trace of sadness. I have experienced such sadness before."

"It makes people become stronger after a brief period of vulnerability!"

"The first cup of butter tea you handed me was already empty before I even had time to taste it."

"The only thing I can remember is your tenderness and thoughtfulness!"

“I shouldn’t be used to drinking butter tea, but I fell in love with it!”
