Chapter 73 Eating Melons and Eating Your Own
"Master Yang?" A strange voice sounded from him, "This level of sincerity is not enough."
The tone was full of disgust, and the voice turned and said: "The prince took time out of his busy schedule to see you, not to see you fooling others."
"Your Majesty, this official... I don't dare."
The latter's words were cautious, with a hint of fear: "This is all I can give."
"Master Yang, you should understand how hard-won this opportunity is."
There was a person who had been speaking for King Ying, and his words were full of ridicule and sarcasm towards Mr. Yang.
Jiang Ruohua rolled her eyes slightly. There were lights in the courtyard. It would be too upright to stand up and take a peek. She leaned against the wall and continued to listen to what was going on inside.
Mr. Yang was silent for a long time, and his attitude was particularly low-level: "Well, please go back and join forces. For the sake of Xianguan's sincerity, please allow the prince to give him a few more days to prepare, and he will not let the prince down again." "
Listening to the conversation, Jiang Ruohua guessed that this was probably about accepting bribes and forming cliques for personal gain. When a prince reaches a certain age, he will serve in the court. The ministers who have a desire to follow others will definitely eye this opportunity and find a prince to join them for the sake of power. Fortunately, everything will fall into place later. The princes will place their own people in important positions, and those who like them will be promoted and made rich smoothly.
What a win-win situation.
The Jiang family's ancestral motto has always been to be loyal. Soldiers are out in the field, shedding their lives and blood, guarding a country and protecting thousands of families. Her father also always talks about loyalty and takes it to heart, working hard for the country and not greedy for any military pay. She is also inspired by her father. There are many influences, and I have always despised and hated this kind of buying and selling of officials, and collusion between officials!
He does not seek to achieve his goals in his position, but he holds an important position in the court, which one is not related to the rise and fall of the country? Isn’t it about the safety of the people?
People who profit from this are really hateful!
Very good, no matter who is in King Ying's skin, since this kind of thing has been done, don't blame her for collecting the evidence by the way!
Then there will be a few more by the way, and we will solve it together.
"Master Yang, what can you do to make up for it?" The disdainful voice sounded again, "If it doesn't work, don't waste the prince's time."
"No, no, no, I don't dare." Mr. Yang's voice sounded very panicked, "Three days! I will definitely be ready in three days. Then, it was really just an unintentional mistake. Please bear with me." If the official is sincere and can tolerate me for a few days, I will definitely prepare these five thousand taels!"
Five thousand taels was by no means a small amount in the Qi Dynasty. If you had no family background, it would be difficult to save so much money just by being an official. The Holy Father has always hated people for corruption and bending the law. It is not necessarily that all the houses of most officials have been sold. I can pick out these five thousand taels.
Jiang Ruohua raised his gaze. It seemed that Mr. Yang had been caught with something, and now he wanted to spend money to settle the matter.
I just don’t know what this King Ying would think.
[Aba Aba Aba Aba...]
Jiang Ruohua:?
"My lord, do you think...?" The disdainful person in the middle said flatteringly to King Ying in a blink of an eye.
"Huh?..." Luo Yu was stunned, then nodded quickly and seriously, "Hmm..."
[Holy shit, why did I get to speak? What should I say? 】
(How about I prepare a microphone for you?)
【Suppress your sarcastic remarks! I'm the worst at sudden situations like this! I am nervous! I am afraid! 】
Jiang Ruohua:...
What nonsense?
She's listening in the corner here, why don't you just listen to this?
Not thinking about how to deal with this Mr. Yang, whether to accept the money, how to collect it, how to use this Mr. Yang to accept bribes later, making her nervous here?
Does she, who never disdains such things, have to be taught how to do things?
Why is this monster so stupid?
After muttering in his heart for a long time, Jiang Ruohua finally decided whether to charge or not, and then thought about the words for a long time before speaking. From this muffled voice, Jiang Ruohua roughly understood what was going on.
This monster is not very sure whether he should do this, but it seems that he is trying hard to imitate the life of that bitch King Ying for some reason.
The replacement is very imperfect. Even if you feel stupid for a moment, don't say, "Huh?" ’ sounded like a question, how likely would this be to cause confusion among subordinates?
It would be better to have no reaction at all, so no one would suspect anything.
[Okay, let’s leave it at that. We don’t know if it’s right or not. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh really can’t do such a bad thing! Damn Luo Zhengyu! You are so heartless! In order not to ruin the plot, I have to do bad things for you! Grass! 】
[Wife...I really want my wife to heal me, I really want to post with my wife, you should be damned for the plot! 】
Jiang Ruohua frowned, why did it suddenly involve her again?
It's like, everything this monster does has something to do with him.
There were so many mysteries that Jiang Ruohua couldn't figure it out, and couldn't understand the sentences that were put together completely incomprehensible. He couldn't help but want to get in touch with this monster. He had to get close to have a chance to understand it.
After listening to the corner for a long time, my legs were a little numb. Except for the other two people in the room who were negotiating for five thousand taels in an orderly manner, eight of the remaining ten sentences were the sound of the monster's heart humming.
I don't know what kind of messy things are going on in his mind.
Anyway, there was nothing serious about it. The only thing related to it was that he complained that accepting bribes affected his sleep.
Jiang Ruohua felt that his inner voice was worthless, but it wasn't enough that he just didn't want to hear it. He had to alert Shen'er to listen to the conversation of the other two.
In addition to the deep hatred for King Ying, Jiang Ruohua thought that she could control her emotions well at ordinary times, but only at this moment, she wanted to rush in and slap this monster in the face.
Before her legs were numb, she heard a lot of things. Jiang Ruohua left the room before the people in the room and hid in the dark. Jiang Ruohua had an impression of the two people who came out one after the other.
She was still thinking about which Lord Yang it was. It turned out to be the Lord Yang who was barely related to her.
As for the latter, she remembered that he was the staff member of King Ying. He was also quite capable. In the dream, he had been following King Ying to make plans. He was not a good person.
Lord Yang left in a hurry. After all, five thousand taels of silver were pressing his life behind him. Jiang Ruohua pursed her lips slightly. She suddenly thought of where this Lord Yang would go to get five thousand taels of silver.
Her home.
This was unbearable.
There are quite a few families with the surname Yang in Beijing, but if we have to talk about relatives, it is the third lady's mother's family.
Coincidentally, the Lord Yang who owed the King of Ying five thousand taels of silver is the third lady's brother.
The Yang family is not of high status, but there was an emperor's teacher in their ancestor. The descendants relied on studying hard day and night, and most of them served as censors or in the Hanlin Academy. By the time of the third lady's generation, there is no outstanding man. It is all thanks to the merits of their ancestors that they can serve as officials from generation to generation.
