After a moment of silence, Xu Qingchen looked at Governor Li and said, "Send someone to raid the Huang family. Give each of the Huang family's servants ten taels of silver. As for the rest … don't leave behind a single tael of silver."
Governor Li didn't expect that there would be such a stroke. He couldn't react for a moment. "This … uh, yes, this subject will do it now. Then … how should we deal with Huang Yaozu? " Xu Qingchen lowered his eyes and smiled. "Since Old Master Huang is willing to use all of his family's wealth to save his son's life, sentence him to be sent to the border. He will never return and will not be pardoned! "
Old Master Huang's face turned pale. What was the difference between this and death? Generally, as long as one's life was still alive, there was always room for negotiation. There would always be a few cases of amnesty in one's life. However, with Young Master Qingchen's sentence, everything was over.
"No! Old Master … our Huang family can't be so late. "The people behind Old Master Huang who were originally pleading for mercy were suddenly unwilling. The Huang Family had nothing left but Huang Yaozu to be sent to the border for eternity? No one was willing to pay such a price. Instead, it was better for Old Master Huang to work hard to see if he could have another child. Even an adopted one was better than this.
"Old Master, please reconsider …"
Not to mention others, even Old Master Huang himself was hesitating. What he wanted was for his son to be able to carry on the family line. How could he be willing to exchange all of his family's wealth for such a result?
Looking at Old Master Huang's expression, Young Master Qingchen's lips curled into a mocking smile. He said to Governor Li, "It seems that Old Master Huang is unwilling. Lord Li, let's go by the rules."
Old Master Huang couldn't say any more words to plead for mercy. He could only watch as his son was taken away and couldn't help but cry loudly.
The hall was so lively, but the outside wasn't calm either. The bullies and their families who were escorted by the bailiffs were waiting outside. Although they didn't know what happened, they couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Old Master Huang's cries coming from inside. They felt that something was wrong.
Although Old Master Huang didn't contribute all of his family's wealth in the end, the Huang family wouldn't be able to grow after a few days. The landlords and rich merchants of Guangling would hate him to death. Which family didn't have a few unfilial children? Which family of these rich families hadn't done a few shameful things? Unfortunately, Huang Yaozu was bumped into by Young Master Qing Chen. If he had not been caught by Young Master Qingchen, perhaps Young Master Qingchen would not have cared about these matters in Guangling. Therefore, these unlucky people would all vent their anger on the Huang Family.
On this day, in this inconspicuous inn in Guangling, the hedonistic sons of noble families and noble families who had been tyrannical and dangerous in Guangling were all arrested. What awaited them might be beheading, exile, or imprisonment. When they came out of the inn, all of them looked like they were about to collapse. It attracted the curiosity of the passersby.
"Xu Qingchen, you're amazing!" Only Xu Qingchen and Yun Ge were left in the empty hall. Yun Ge sat on a chair, propping up her chin as she gazed at Young Master Qingchen in snow-white robes. Her eyes were filled with admiration. She had also seen the crimes that Xu Qingchen had committed. Xu Qingchen had only sat there and said nothing, but those seemingly powerful people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. However, Yun Ge would not plead for mercy for them. Those old people with white hair were crying. Although they were very pitiful, she had seen many rich people bullying ordinary people along the way. Those who were bullied were even more pitiful. Every time she met them, she could only teach those people a lesson and then give them some silver. However, Xu Qingchen easily put all those bad guys in jail. In the future, they would never come out to harm ordinary people again!
Young Master Qingchen had seen many gazes of admiration, but he suddenly found that Miss Yun Ge's gaze made him feel more comfortable. With a smile, he raised his eyebrows and said, "How am I amazing?"
"You punished many bad people." Yun Ge said.
"Those were interrogated by Lord Li." Xu Qingchen smiled.
"But those evidence were given to Lord Li by you." Yun Ge said.
"Those were collected by the Shadow Guard." Xu Qingchen said with a gentle smile. Miss Yun Ge tilted her head and said, "But … I feel that those people are very afraid of you, but they are not afraid of Lord Li at all." Although it was Lord Li who was speaking, she clearly felt that those people did not dare to move because of Xu Qingchen, who was sitting on the throne, and not because of the stern-looking Lord Li.
"You have good eyes." Xu Qingchen said with a smile.
Yun Ge said happily, "Of course."
Xu Qingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a faint smile and said, "Since you have good eyes, how can you not see that those people are liars? Come, tell me, how many times have you been deceived along the way? "
Yun Ge's little face immediately turned red. "I … I haven't been deceived that many times!"
"Oh? What? " Xu Qingchen looked at her with a smile, took out a few things from his sleeve and put them on the table and asked, "What are these?"
"Eh? This is my hairpin, jade pendant … and my purse. Why are they … with you … "Meeting Young Master Qingchen's faint smile, Yun Ge gradually lost her voice.
Xu Qingchen looked at her helplessly and sighed softly, "What a stupid girl. You don't even know that you have been deceived. Two days ago, you gave your jade pendant to the person who buried his father. Do you know that this jade pendant of yours is enough for an ordinary person to live for a lifetime? "
"But … her father is really dead. I didn't have any silver at that time. " Yun Ge argued in a low voice. She was a doctor after all. How could she not know better than Xu Qingchen whether a person was dead or alive?
Xu Qingchen said, "The person is dead, but do you know if that is her father?"
"Eh?" Yun Ge was speechless.
Xu Qingchen picked up the hairpin on the table and gently put it back on for her. Then he picked up the jade pendant and hung it for her, saying, "Look at your journey. If I found you a few days later, would you not even have money to eat?"
Yun Ge lowered her head in embarrassment. She counted with her fingers and said softly, "I know medicine. I also know how to pick herbs." So she would not go without food.
Young Master Qingchen nodded in agreement, "That's right. You know medicine, but you have to pay for the medical expenses yourself. You know how to pick herbs, but you give them all to others."
"Then … then I need help." Yun Ge was a little depressed. Although she did not know if her father practiced medicine, he left behind a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Her foster father also had a lot of property. She was the only one who brought a lot of money when she ran away from home. But she was getting poorer and poorer.
Young Master Qingchen smiled and patted her head, saying, "Now you know how stupid you are."
Yun Ge puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and said angrily, "I'm not stupid! Foster father said I'm the smartest. "
Xu Qingchen threw her a disapproving look. Yun Ge was immediately discouraged. She muttered sadly, "How could this be … I helped them out of kindness. Why did they lie to me?"
Xu Qingchen said softly, "There are many bad people in this world. Do you think that no one dares to bully you like in Glass City? Who told you to run away from home? "
As soon as he said that, Yun Ge looked at Xu Qingchen vigilantly. She also remembered that Xu Qingchen said she was his fiancée the night before she ran away from home. She suddenly felt goosebumps. "You … why are you here?!"
Xu Qingchen smiled indifferently, "What do you think? You ran away from home without saying anything. Do you know how anxious your family is? What if you encounter danger? How do you want the Xu family to explain to Mr. Shen? "
"I … I didn't run away from home. I, I want to practice medicine everywhere and help the world. "Yun Ge tried to open her eyes wide so that she would not look so guilty. Xu Qingchen did not say anything. He just looked at her calmly with a smile, but it made Yun Ge feel more and more guilty. "Then … you can't blame me. It's all your fault! I … I don't want to be your fiancée! "
Young Master Qingchen's eyes darkened. He lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "Oh? Why? "
Yun Ge bit her cherry lips and looked at Xu Qingchen with some grievance. "Anyway … I just don't want it." She would not tell Xu Qingchen that she did not like to study.
After a moment of silence, Young Master Qingchen smiled and raised his hand to pull her to him. He smiled and said, "I know. You don't want to write or memorize, right?" Yun Ge felt a little embarrassed that her thoughts were exposed. She muttered softly, "So what if I do? I just don't like to study. I'm just very stupid. "
Young Master Qingchen laughed. He deeply felt that he had bullied the little girl too much. In fact, Yun Ge was not stupid at all. How could someone who could make Qin Zheng, his mother, and Second Aunt praise her for her learning in less than a year be stupid? It was just that the little girl was not very interested in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She spent most of her energy on medicine.
"Then … what if I don't let you copy books or memorize books in the future?" Xu Qingchen asked softly.
"Eh?" Yun Ge's eyes lit up and she looked at Xu Qingchen in surprise. Xu Qingchen's gentle and elegant smile made people unable to help but indulge in it. "If you don't have to memorize books or write in the future, are you willing to be my fiancée?"
"This …" Yun Ge hesitated.
Young Master Qingchen said lightly, "Look at you. You were cheated the moment you went out. If you go out with me in the future, no one will dare to cheat you. No matter how many people you save, you won't be out of money. You can save whoever you want. If you can't find medicinal herbs or medical skills, I can also ask the Shadow Guard in the Prince Ding Mansion to help you find them. Also, today's incident will not happen again. What do you think? "
Yun Ge blinked and felt that her mind was a little messy. However, Xu Qingchen's words seemed to make sense. "Then … then we can go out together now."
Young Master Qingchen shook his head and smiled. "Men and women should not be so close. If we go out together without any relationship, others will misunderstand. It's not good for your reputation. Of course … it's not good for mine either. Look at Li 'er, Zheng' er and the rest. They only go out with Prince Ding and Second Brother. "
"En en …" Sister Qin Zheng only went out with Second Brother Xu other than playing in Glass City.
"Have you thought about it? If you are not willing, let's go back to Glass City. If you are my fiancée, we can still go out and walk around. It's okay to walk around for a year or so. "Young Master Qingchen smiled.
"Sure," Yun Ge replied casually as she pondered over it.
"…" Young Master Qingchen, is it really a man to abduct a little girl like this? The Shadow Guard outside the door looked at each other.
