The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 375 Master Ye only talks about principles and does not care about face, Xu Da discovers the shocking truth, and the imperial envoy’s trip begins!

Xu Da and Wang Baobao, who stood aside and acted as housekeepers, looked at the scene in front of them. It can be said that one family was sad and the other happy.

When Ye Qing asked Xu Miaojin who taught him it and then praised it, Xu Da was happy and Wang Baobao was worried.

But when they saw that Ye Qing's eyes had a strong look of reminiscence after drinking the butter tea handed to him by Medolam, they turned into Wang Baobao's joy and Xu Da's sorrow.

But just when Wang Baobao felt that he was definitely winning against Xu Da, Ye Qing just blinked and his eyes became firm again.

He just smiled at Medoramu and nodded: "It tastes good, thank you."

Soon, Ye Qing was very polite and sent Xu Miaojin and Mei Dolam away.

Immediately afterwards, in full view of everyone, he came between Xu Da and Wang Baobao and hugged their shoulders.

"Two old brothers,"

"If you take your daughter out to play again and hang out in front of me when we are on errands in the future, we will end our relationship and cut off our robes!"

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, regardless of their reactions, he sat back in his seat and continued to wait for them to sign the contract with his legs crossed.

That's how he is, what he values ​​is fairness, justice and voluntariness.

Anyway, his conditions have been laid out here. It’s up to them whether to sign or not.

If the signing is successful, he will confiscate their house deeds and land deeds and return them to them after the matter is completed.

In this way, not only did he get the job done, but he also gained the hatred of these people. As long as he left, they would definitely go to Zhu Yuanzhang to force him to marry him!

For Ye Qing, this is a win-win deal!

Ye Qing was not worried at all that they would not sign the contract, because the consequence of not signing the contract would be to be shot to death by random arrows.

He believed that these people would not dare to be like him, Ye Qing, who always made fun of his own life.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all and just continued to wait here.

As for why he suddenly fell out with Xu Da and Wang Baobao, he also had his own reasons.

Ye Qing is a staunch materialist. Except for himself, he does not believe that there is such a thing as reincarnation in the world.

Everyone has only one life, and everyone's life is very precious!

It's just that he has the same appearance and the same craftsmanship, which really makes him, a staunch materialist, somewhat unstable!

He knew it was a coincidence, but it was too much of a coincidence!

Coincidentally, he, a staunch materialist, started to doubt himself!

In order not to affect his determination to work hard to return home, Ye Qing could only use this method and directly 'cut it all'!

Just when Ye Qing was thinking like this, Xu Da and Wang Baobao became happy again.

Xu Da smiled lightly and said: "Yes, he is anxious. As the art of war goes, those who are distracted will also mess up the formation!"

Wang Baobao also nodded and said: "I don't know why he hasn't gotten married yet. I only know that he has begun to hesitate in his heart."

"Our daughter has entered his heart!"

"."

Just when Xu Da and Wang Baobao were once again happy for their daughter's progress, Kong Kelin, a group of local officials and wealthy squires who were still kneeling at the foot of the city gate, became angry.

This is completely disrespectful, and you want to fly up and eat people!

Is this a civil servant?

This is obviously a bandit!

Can this agreement be signed?

If this agreement is signed, we must unconditionally support him in implementing [dividing every man into an acre] and [all gentry working as errands and paying grain], these two national policies are enough to cost them half their lives.

But if you don't sign the contract, your whole life will be lost here now.

Thinking of this, they still knelt down and looked at the twelve hundred pairs of black armor in front of them, shining with cold light.

These soldiers wearing black armor all drew their bows and arrows, aiming at them like wolves.

They were really afraid that with Ye Qing's order, their entire lives would be directly handed over to them.

Of course, there are also people who do not believe in evil.

In the eyes of everyone, Kong Kelin stood up and angrily scolded Ye Qing: "Your Majesty wants you to implement national policies, not to be a bandit leader."

"This so-called agreement is inherently unfair. How could we sign it?"

"If you are really brave, you will kill me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve hundred elite soldiers all looked at Ye Qing, waiting for his reaction.

But Ye Qing didn't react for a long time, and he didn't dare to do it at first glance.

When Kong Kelin saw Ye Qing sitting there motionless, he immediately laughed, thinking that he simply didn't have the guts.

Seeing this scene, other people also stood up one after another.

But at this moment, Ye Qing suddenly stood up.

In everyone's eyes, Ye Qing was like a street gangster, rolling up his sleeves and starting to curse.

"Well, you Kong Klin, do you think your ancestor is Confucius, so you are great?"

"You, like your elder brother, are trying to discredit your ancestors."

"it is good!"

"I will teach you now how your ancestor Confucius reasoned with others."

After saying that, Ye Qing went directly to a nearby soldier and said: "Give me the bow and arrow, I will shoot him to death myself."

After Ye Qing took the bow and arrow, he walked twenty steps away from Kong Kelin and began to draw the bow and set the arrow. The movement was very similar to "bending the bow to shoot a big eagle".

It's just that his hands were shaking very much, much worse than the bowstring.

Not only were his hands shaking violently, but his legs were also shaking quite violently, as if he had been squeezed clean by a dedicated maid over the years.

In the eyes of Wang Baobao and Xu Da, Kong Kelin's arrows, which were about to be shot to death, were sometimes aimed at his head, sometimes aimed at his chest, sometimes aimed at his eyes, and sometimes aimed at his ears.

The two people watching this extremely unprofessional behavior just wanted to laugh.

Xu Da smiled lightly and said, "Brother Ye, are you okay?"

Wang Baobao said helplessly: "If it doesn't work, just let me do it. You are a person who relies on your brain to make a living. Why are you doing such hard work?"

Ye Qing turned around with difficulty and said: "No problem, I can do it, trust me."

All they saw was that Ye Qing was so depressed that his face turned red.

They were really worried that when he fired the arrow, he didn't kill Kong Klin, but he shot someone else to death.

Kong Kelin looked at this scene and his feet were trembling with fear.

They never expected that Ye Qing would really dare to do this!

If Ye Qing was an expert in archery, they would still think that Ye Qing was just showing off because he was confident enough.

But this person is obviously a reckless fool!

It can be seen that he doesn't care at all if he makes a mistake, as long as he doesn't make a mistake and shoot himself to death.

"Master Ye, are you serious?"

Ye Qing struggled and said with trembling lips: "If I was just lying, how could I be promoted so quickly?"

"You are simply kidding me."

"Kong, don't move!"

"I have never touched a bow and arrow in my life. What if I make a mistake and shoot someone else to death?"

"It doesn't matter. I am a popular person in His Majesty's eyes now. Let alone shoot you to death, he won't care even if I urinate in his ancestral graveyard."

"."

When Xu Da heard this, he immediately frowned.

This is too much!

He can guarantee that as long as Ye Qing dares to urinate in Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral graveyard, Ye Qing will definitely be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs!

Just when Xu Da was frowning secretly, Ye Qing continued to yell at Kong Kelin: "Don't move, I will shoot you to death now."

"Ah ah!!!"

In everyone's eyes, Ye Qing just shouted loudly, jumped up with all his strength, and loosened the bowstring at the same time.

However, while he was jumping up, his front foot hit his back foot, and he fell directly into the mud. But the arrow was shot out anyway!

"Sir, are you okay?"

"Master Ye, does it matter?"

"Sir, is it broken?"

Shen Wan'er and the other female relatives showed concern when they came up. Fortunately, their Lord Ye was only covered in mud after falling, but he was not injured.

But Kong Kelin opposite him was so frightened that he sat on the ground and peed all over the floor.

The officials behind him, as well as the wealthy country gentlemen, were also frightened.

In their eyes, there was suddenly a shallow blood stain on Kong Kelin's cheek, and a drop of blood was flowing down.

But the amount of bleeding was not big, nothing serious!

"What a blessing!"

"Fortunately, Mr. Ye is not good at archery. Fortunately, Mr. Ye fell down."

"Be a little more accurate and you'll be gone!"

"Fortunately, I didn't stand directly behind Mr. Kong. The arrow passed by me and there was still wind noise!"

"I never expected that Mr. Ye would really dare!"

"."

Just when everyone was talking about it, Ye Qing was not pretentious at all and directly rejected the love of the women around him.

"Get off!"

"Bring me another arrow!"

"Kong Kelin, just sit down and wait until you see if I can let you be the eunuch this time."

"There is only one outcome today, either you sign the contract or I will shoot you to death."

"As for whether you will go to the palace to sue me for the imperial edict after you sign the contract, that is your freedom!!!"

When Ye Qing said the last words, he was not only very serious, but his voice was loud and his tone was dragging. He almost said, 'You are idiots. You don't know how to sign the contract first and then file a lawsuit against me? '

Those who were being hinted at had not yet reacted to his obviously suggestive words, but Xu Da and others, who were watching the scene behind them, did so immediately.

"What is Ye Qing doing?"

"Isn't it obvious that they are required to sign a contract to save their lives first, and then wait until Ye Qing leaves before going to the capital to sue him?"

"."

This is not only the inner thoughts of Xu Da and Wang Baobao, but also the inner thoughts of Xu Miaojin and Mei Duolamu, and even more so the inner thoughts of Shen Wan'er and others.

It's just that Shen Wan'er and the others changed 'Ye Qing' to 'Master Ye' when they were secretly complaining.

While everyone was thinking like this, Ye Qing had already set up the second arrow.

Ye Qing aimed at Kong Kelin's body and said, "Just sit here and pee slowly. Just wait and see if I continue to pee or bleed when my arrow hits."

"Ah ah!!!"

Just when Ye Qing started to accumulate strength, Kong Klin directly covered his hands with his hands and kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice:

"Master Ye, I was wrong, I signed the contract!"

"Master Ye is right. I shouldn't only think about myself. I should lead our family and set an example for scholars all over the world."

"I signed the contract!"

"I'll be the first to sign!"

In everyone's eyes, Kong Klin was the first to climb up to the huge white cloth scroll agreement, the first to sign his name, and then stamp his fingerprints.

Immediately afterwards, everyone began to line up, lying on the ground one by one to sign and stamp their fingerprints.

Ye Qing looked at this scene, just smiled with satisfaction, and called his two maids to come over and watch.

He wants to go back to the carriage and change into new clothes!

A moment later, Ye Qing, who had changed his clothes, walked in front of them again, accompanied by Shen Waner.

Ye Qing immediately smiled and said politely: "When you sign the contract, you must be sincere. You must write the sentence "Absolutely Voluntary" under your name, and then put your palm print on the name and the four words "Absolutely Voluntary"."

"Yes, we are all absolutely willing!"

"Yes, yes, this national policy for the country and the people must be absolutely voluntary for us!"

"."

Half an hour later, this bundle of giant scroll agreements was accepted by Xu Da and Wang Baobao.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qing became polite.

That's how he is, if he only gives 10% of the sales, then everyone will be friends.

Not to mention what a close friend they are, at least they are fair-weather friends!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing continued to smile and said: "How did you arrange the food and accommodation for me, these followers, and the accompanying 1,200 sergeants and horses?"

Kong Klin immediately smiled: "We will all pay for the arrangements together, so that Master Ye and the sergeants will definitely have good food, drink and a good place to live."

After Ye Qing smiled and nodded, he looked at the soldiers he had brought with him and said, "Why don't you thank Mr. Kong quickly?"

"Why don't you thank so many adults and gentlemen?"

The next moment, all the soldiers put away their bows, arrows and crossbows. They all smiled and clasped their fists and said, "Then thank you so many adults and gentlemen."

Just like that, a group of people went into the city with smiles on their faces.

It's just that so many adults and gentlemen cursed Ye Qing and his people to the heavens in their hearts!

Xu Da and Wang Baobao looked at this scene and just smiled sheepishly.

Xu Da smiled and said: "Your Majesty is so wise!"

"If you don't let us come in official uniforms, I can't afford to embarrass this person!"

Wang Baobao also smiled and said: "Let you, Marshal Xu, eat like a big family for once, which is a unique flavor."

Xu Da nodded and said, "Although I feel a little shameless, I feel good. I should be able to eat two more bowls of rice."

"only."

When Wang Baobao saw that Xu Da suddenly looked serious and hesitated to speak, he immediately said, "Just what?"

"nothing!"

"Let's go and follow the big eaters!"

As soon as Xu Da finished speaking, he followed into the city.

Wang Baobao just rolled his eyes at him and thought that he, Xu Da, should be Taoist Xu. He half-talked, which was really annoying.

There is also a reason why Xu Da only speaks half of his words.

In fact, Ye Qing noticed a detail as early as when he fell.

That was Ye Qing's back foot, which seemed to be deliberately leaning against the heel of his front foot. It didn't look so natural!

Of course, it just looks intentional!

Therefore, he stopped talking in the middle of what he said, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion!

That night,

Ye Qing was really rude and made various demands at the reception banquet.

He wants to watch Tang-style and Han dances, Persian dances, and even the big rocks on his chest.

Because he knows that the more he demands, the more they will hate him!

But Ye Qing would never delay his business. A night of leisurely activities would also affect his ability to get up early the next morning to do business.

"Somebody come!"

"Call the magistrate of Guide Prefecture, all magistrates under his jurisdiction, and all the wealthy squires to come and see me!"
