The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 376 Mr. Ye did not engage in loss-making business, so Zhu Yuanzhang ran out of the palace and his true colors were revealed at a glance!

In the afternoon, it's three quarters, which is about four o'clock in the afternoon.

under the sun,

There were hundreds of people standing in the square of the courtyard of the Thousand-year-old Confucius Mansion.

Among them were officials from Guide Prefecture, chief magistrates from the counties under their jurisdiction, and local wealthy businessmen and gentry.

Some of them are very close to the government headquarters and arrived in the morning.

Ye Qing didn't embarrass them. Instead, he generously treated them to lunch since he didn't need to spend his own money anyway.

Ye Qing was not short of money, and he didn't care about the precious money that he later despised. It was just that the feeling of eating from a wealthy family was really good.

Under the eaves of this thousand-year-old Confucius Mansion, there are eight chairs.

Because of Ye Qing's relationship, Shen Wan'er and the two dedicated maids were naturally a senior official and had chairs to sit on.

Not to mention Xu Da, Wang Baobao, and their daughters.

If they reveal their identities, they don't need to follow Ye Qing, they will have to meet a senior official.

After a while, Conklin also brought a chair and sat beside them.

He sat down and said, "Everyone, Mr. Ye has called you here because he has something important to say."

"It's settled. We'll have good food, drinks and entertainment tonight. If it's not settled, everyone's faces will look bad."

Although Kong Kelin said this, what he was thinking in his heart was, 'I am cooperating with you on the surface now, but after you leave, I will take everyone to the capital to complain. '

Ye Qing naturally knew what he was thinking!

Therefore, Ye Qing would not embarrass him too much, because what he said was that he was helping him, and what he thought in his heart was that he was helping him a lot.

How could it be too difficult for such a great benefactor?

It's just that he is indeed not the same person as him, so naturally he cannot sit on the same level as him.

Ye Qing looked at Kong Klin and said, "What are you doing sitting here?"

"Listen to my lecture below!"

Kong Kelin only felt that his status as a "king without king" here had been severely dealt a blow, and he felt that Ye Qing did not care about his own face at all.

But there is nothing he can do now!

It wasn't until last night that he realized how smart Ye Qing was. Not only did he eat and live from him, but he also arranged for all his elite soldiers to live outside the house.

what is this?

Isn't this just polite, surrounding their thousand-year-old Confucius Mansion?

He, Ye Qing, does not need guards. If something happens to him, Ye Qing, the twelve hundred well-equipped 'Deadpools' can quickly wipe them out.

If they were gone, Saint Kong would have no direct descendants.

Thinking of this, Kong Klin could only bow his hands, then stood up obediently and joined the crowd.

Ye Qing looked at this scene, then nodded with a smile, and then crossed his legs.

He just snapped his fingers in full view of everyone, and the Kong family's maid brought over sliced ​​iced watermelon and various fresh-cut fruits.

Of course, the necessary tea and dried fruits are also indispensable.

If someone else's maid is at his disposal, then his own maid will be a princess-level young lady. This is Ye Qing's principle of being a wealthy family.

"You two, don't look at me either?"

"Are you used to being a maid?"

"Let me tell you, when you are my Ye Qing's maid, you will only be my maid after you return home. You must be the eldest lady in front of others."

"When we go out to eat at a big restaurant, we must act like a princess."

Under Ye Qing's guidance, his two maids immediately became enlightened and started eating as if they were letting themselves go.

As for Shen Wan'er and Xu Da, they naturally don't need to be enlightened by themselves.

They just ate and drank in front of everyone, and then admired the local officials and wealthy businessmen and gentry, feasting in the sun.

"This is outrageous, so outrageous!"

"Isn't the Imperial Envoy amazing?"

"This imperial envoy is really amazing!"

"How can he target us without fearing that we will hold grudges?"

"."

Their voices were so low that Ye Qing and the others couldn't hear them at all.

But they ignored one of Ye Qing's skills, a skill he had developed in who knows what lifetime, and that was 'lip reading'!

Now, he can know what the other person is saying just by looking at their mouth shape and reading their lips.

There is no problem with Chinese, there is no problem with Tibetan, there is no problem with Mongolian, there is no problem with Korean, there is no problem with Japanese, and even the English of this era has no problem at all.

Of course, Ye Qing didn't hold any grudge against them at all.

Again, this is the effect he wants!

Ye Qing was chewing on his habit and said, "Everyone, Mr. Kong and the others helped you sign an agreement with me yesterday."

"Have you brought all the land deeds and house deeds to your home?"

Everyone got angry when they heard this and glared fiercely at the person who helped them sign the contract yesterday and informed them of this matter.

"no!"

"How can there be such an agreement?"

"Those who sign on behalf of others do not count!"

"That's right, Your Majesty asked you to do errands, not to humiliate us."

"If it is a normal errand, I will cooperate with you. If you want to humiliate and make things difficult like this, I will not accompany you!"

As soon as these people finished speaking, they wanted to run away without even saying goodbye.

Ye Qing didn't care either. He wouldn't force anyone to do anything. As long as they wanted to run away, he would never stop them.

Just when a local military attache with the nickname "Beast" in his official uniform was about to be the first to walk out of the door in high spirits, he suddenly retracted his steps.

Because there were suddenly a lot of people on the eaves around the courtyard.

Half of them aimed at them with crossbows, and the other half aimed at them with fire blunderbuss!

It was obvious that as long as they dared to step out, they would be beaten into pieces by both cold and hot weapons.

This time, no one doubted that Ye Qing didn't have the courage.

Because the scar on Conklin’s face is the best proof!

"you,"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Ye Qing crossed his legs and ate some fruit, saying, "You can go your own way. I won't make it difficult for you."

"It's just that I won't do it myself this time, so their accuracy is better than mine."

"It's really an insult to me, a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken, to go to bed!"

"Let's go, you can go wherever you want!"

"If I beat you to death, my life will be at risk at worst!"

"You also know what my reputation is. I am a 'person who will not risk his life to ask for life for the people'!"

Having said this, he stood up and faced the direction of Yingtian Mansion, raising his head solemnly forty-five degrees.

In front of everyone, he raised his hands in the direction of Yingtian Mansion and said: "As long as this matter can be accomplished, even if I am sentenced to death by Your Majesty, I will be considered a worthy death."

"No, it should be a glorious death, an upright death."

"If you die because you resisted my officer, you are worth less than a feather!"

"If I die doing an errand, that's more important than Mount Tai!"

Saying that, Ye Qing sat back on the chair with a smile, crossed his legs and said: "This is an absolutely good deal for all officials, and you will make a profit without losing any money!" "You tell me, why wouldn't I do it? Woolen cloth?"

Regarding Ye Qing's words, Shen Wan'er and his two dedicated maids had no feelings at all.

No matter how shameless a person is, after hanging out with him for so long, he should become shameless.

But Xu Da, Wang Baobao, and their two daughters are different!

They are the famous generals and marshals of the world, and they are their daughters, and they are also the leaders in the world of young ladies.

They sat together with Ye Qing, and they were really embarrassed.

They guessed that Ye Qing would use some unconventional methods, but they didn't expect that it would be so unconventional.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor was wise and allowed them to visit privately incognito and assist, instead of letting them follow everything so shamelessly as Xu Da and Wang Baobao!

But one thing is that they also felt from the bottom of their hearts that Ye Qing's shameless method was definitely more effective than the shameless method.

Moreover, it works very quickly!

No, the local military attache has already started to get the house and land deeds!

As for those civil servants and wealthy businessmen and gentry, they were naturally aggrieved and had to hand over their house deeds and land deeds!

quickly,

Shen Wan'er's shoulder bag already contained the fixed assets of all wealthy families in Guide Mansion.

"grown ups,"

"Am I considered to be richer than my father, Shen Bancheng?"

Under the watchful eyes of all,

Shen Wan'er patted her bulging pocket and said with a playful smile.

Ye Qing nodded and said: "That's right, someone who is better than someone who is good is better than someone who is good at it. He is much richer than your father."

The people standing below were already itching with hatred!

This kind of operation of taking their property as security and showing affection in front of them is really immoral.

Just when everyone was itching with hatred, Ye Qing said to the people on the rooftops around him: "Okay, be polite to everyone and put away all the weapons in your hands."

"You should just go and eat, and when you need to be on duty, you should be on duty up there."

After saying that, he smiled politely at everyone and said, "Everyone, to celebrate our happy cooperation."

"I've prepared some drinks. Let's eat and drink well. Starting from tomorrow, we will work together to complete this errand."

"As long as the errand is completed, I will not only return the house and land deeds to you, but also reward each of you with a thousand taels of silver and a hundred taels of gold."

"."

Looking at the slightly relieved faces, Ye Qing just smiled and nodded.

It's just a blank check, just write it out casually!

He is a man seeking death, so why does he care about his reputation?

During the dinner, Ye Qing found an opportunity and came to the open space.

He held the wine glass and looked in the direction of Yingtian Mansion. He already had a picture in his mind of them going to complain as soon as he stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"I've tried my best to make people hate me!"

"When that time comes, just obey them and kill me!"

"My lord, I'm so grateful!"

"."

Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked in the direction of Ying Tian Mansion and sprinkled the wine in the cup on the ground in front of him.

He was praying to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was also toasting Ye Qing, the dead man of the Ming Dynasty, in advance.

But at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Are you paying homage to an old friend?"

For a moment, Ye Qing just thought he heard Li Xueyan's voice.

He really wanted to turn around, hug Xu Miaojin, and think of her as Li Xueyan.

But he can't!

He can't just care about his own feelings and ignore the future of others!

Ye Qing quickly regained his composure and said, "Yes, I want to pay homage to an old friend who is about to pass away."

"When I came, he was already terminally ill. I probably didn't have time to send him on his last journey."

Xu Miaojin walked to sit down next to Ye Qing, then just smiled lightly and said: "I guess that old friend is you!"

"Ok?"

Ye Qing looked at Xu Miaojin again and asked with great interest: "How do you say it?"

Xu Miaojin personally poured a glass of wine for Ye Qing and said, "During the day, I also thought you were very shameless, and I didn't even want to sit here."

"But if you think about it carefully, you did it as a last resort."

"They are local snakes that even a strong dragon cannot suppress. If you don't use this method, they won't cooperate obediently."

"But you also know that after you finish your errands, you will cause murder!"

"So, the old friend you pay tribute to in advance is yourself!"

Ye Qing neither affirmed nor denied, just acquiesced.

She is so much like his Li Xueyan. If this was a mythical or fantasy time, he would definitely treat her as the reincarnation of his beloved wife.

In Xu Miaojin's eyes, Ye Qing just smiled faintly and drank the glass of wine she poured for him personally.

Then, he went back to the lobby alone!

But before he had walked a few steps, Xu Miaojin said with a faint smile: "Master Ye, I admire you, but I don't want you to die."

"My father and I, as well as Uncle Wang and Mei Duo, don't want you to die."

"We will help you!"

When Ye Qing heard this, he felt a splitting headache, as if he had drunk modern fake wine.

He just shook his head helplessly and quickly disappeared from the scene.

Xu Miaojin looked at this scene and felt that there was really something wrong with Mr. Ye.

I told you that I would help him, but you are still shaking your head!

Half a month later, another caravan came to Guide Mansion.

It’s the same carriage, the same clothes, the same familiar faces.

Yes,

In order to give Zhu Biao more experience, Zhu Yuanzhang took Queen Ma to Guide Mansion.

At a writing stall, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in front of an old gentleman, chatting with him.

"This old gentleman, his handwriting is good, isn't he?"

"You can tell he is a learned person at first glance!"

The old gentleman waved his hand and said: "When I was young, if I didn't want to work for Qian Yuan, I didn't take the merit examination."

"It's not easy to live in the world of the Han family, but I don't have the energy to test for merit."

"When I have nothing to do, I go from stall to stall and write letters home for these illiterate people."

"Earn some pocket money!"

As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again and said, "Why, this great gentleman also wants me to write a letter home for you?"

"It's not expensive, just ten cents is enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Do you think we are illiterate people who have never read a book?"

After looking at it carefully, the old gentleman said: "To tell you the truth, there are many wealthy businessmen like you who are illiterate."

"Yedu, that's about it for you!"
