"Why are you being so long-winded with these people? Only you have a good temper, but they won't appreciate it at all …" Li Hongyuan seemed to be reprimanding, but his tone was gentle. "Since I'm no longer interested, I'll naturally go back. In any case," he paused meaningfully, "this Kaiming Manor, other than those irritating things, everything else is pretty good. It's not a big deal to stay for ten days or half a month. Otherwise, before returning to the capital, I'll stay in Kaiming Manor. As for the other matters, other people will take care of it. I believe that many people will be very happy."
In the four counties and twenty-eight manors of Jiangnan, there were countless officials. Each one of them was on tenterhooks. After knowing that you were an imperial envoy, they didn't have a good night's sleep. If you stayed in Kaiming Manor, those people could only say that they were happy. That was definitely not enough to describe it. It could be said that they would sing and dance in celebration.
However, the officials of Kaiming Manor were probably going to vomit blood. Originally, it had nothing to do with them. Kaiming Manor was just a place they passed by. Now, they had to face the King of Hell alone. If it was easy to serve, no, it didn't need to be easy. It didn't need to be easy, as long as they could serve him, then they would do their best to wear out this period of time. The problem was that this master was completely impossible to serve. No matter what you did, he wasn't satisfied, he wasn't happy, and he would pick on you. He would throw a tantrum at the slightest thing.
How was it possible for people to live like this? Jingwan, who understood Li Hongyuan's temperament more and more, lit thirty-two candles for these people and observed a moment of silence. Speaking of which, those people who relied on him early on, how did they muddle through under his hands? Needless to say, those were true warriors who had been tempered into steel.
However, there was one thing that could be confirmed. Those who had been properly "trained" by Li Hongyuan, their efficiency in doing things was definitely very high.
After all, if they did their job well, they could obtain relief. If they didn't do it well, they would be endlessly destroyed and tortured by him. Over time, everyone's spirit would weaken and they would lose the will to live. The only way was to do everything in one go and face him less if they could.
All of their motivation was not to receive praise, but to avoid "torture." This could be considered a great oddity for all eternity, right?
Alright, the King of Hell was quite generous when he was being generous. Otherwise, who would want to hang out with him unless they were masochists?
Jingwan hadn't realized that she was the number one warrior. She wasn't the kind who struggled to survive under the King of Hell, but the kind who could tie the King of Hell and climb over his head.
Since they had decided to leave, they naturally wouldn't stay for long. A group of young masters were driven to follow behind the carriage in a sorry state. Before they left, they cried for their parents and begged their elders to save their lives. Whenever someone fell behind or was disobedient, the guards wouldn't be polite at all. They would use the sabers they seized to hit them. Although they didn't hit their heads, it was definitely painful. Even if they were fathers or grandfathers, they could only watch helplessly and couldn't do anything about it.
This was especially true for the Governor's son, who was given special treatment. If others were to suffer one blow, he would have to suffer two. Furthermore, he was used to being a tyrant and would subconsciously retaliate whenever he was hit. Naturally, he would suffer even more. It was simply a vicious cycle. The Governor clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Did he hate him? Of course he hated him. However, he didn't know if this hatred was only directed at Li Hongyuan or if it was mixed with something else. After all, this kind of disaster happened because his own family didn't teach their child well. Otherwise, Jin Qinwang's actions would be untenable.
What he had to consider now was whether to save this evil creature or not. It wasn't that he couldn't take out two million and five hundred thousand taels. Furthermore, even if he took it out, it wouldn't hurt his family. However, after taking it out, he would have to consider the consequences. He wasn't from an aristocratic family. As Li Hongyuan had said, building that Bie Courtyard had already exceeded the scope of his family's assets. Thus, he could still reluctantly take out two million and five hundred thousand taels. However, don't forget why the Emperor had sent an imperial envoy. At this juncture, he wanted to confiscate his family's property and exterminate his family. Furthermore, according to his family's assets, the "master" above wouldn't be filial enough. Furthermore, the "master" himself had been targeted by the Emperor. The possibility of him being saved was too low.
Abandoning this son like this and betting that Jin Qinwang wouldn't really kill him? A sixth grade of one hundred thousand taels, similarly exceeded the family's assets. Those who would take out this amount of money, most likely wouldn't be much.
However, that letter clearly said that Jin Qinwang's temperament was perverse, his moods were unstable, he was daring and reckless. He didn't give anyone face. Even if it was a brother who held real power, if he said he would make a move, he would make a move without the slightest hesitation. How could they be sure that he wouldn't stop because of a dozen lives?
"Governor Daren, now, now what should we do?" The others were somewhat out of their wits, hoping that the Governor could come up with a solution. After all, his son was the main culprit. The others were all fish in the moat that were implicated. If this matter couldn't be resolved perfectly, they wouldn't only hate Jin Qinwang, they would also hate him. Then, in the future, he would have a lot of trouble in Kai Ming Fu.
"Go back and tell your family's furen, go and request to see Jin Qinwang Fei. No matter what, you must see her once. Jin Qinwang Fei no longer … … will not do anything to the womenfolk. "
Although it couldn't be said that women were absolutely more soft-hearted than men, but in most cases, it was indeed so. Moreover, looking at Jin Qinwang Fei, she didn't have that kind of vicious temperament. That letter also said that they had to pay attention to Jin Qinwang Fei. It seemed that they still underestimated this point because she was a woman. Now, she might be the key or even the only breakthrough point.
Right, right, right, hurry back. Originally, he had already prepared to let his furen go and visit Jin Qinwang Fei who was "unwell". However, there was an unforeseen event, so now he had no choice but to go.
Without stopping to rest, he hurried back. Naturally, he didn't forget to send people to follow behind Jin Qinwang Fei's carriage to "watch" the gongzi.
Only the Governor stayed until the end. He looked at that poor scholar and didn't say a word. However, that scholar felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake and subconsciously wanted to retreat. Suddenly, he thought of Jingwan's words, so he raised his head and puffed out his chest, "This commoner greets Governor Daren."
The Governor probably didn't think that he would have such a reaction, "You, very good, very good." Turning his head, he looked at that woman, "Since you followed my son, naturally you are one of my Governor Manor's people. Someone come, bring her back." Finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Not to mention others, even that woman herself had sensed the Governor's ill intentions. Thinking about it, she knew that if she went, it would most likely bode ill rather than well. Facing the two servants of the Governor Manor, she desperately struggled to escape, crying and shouting that she didn't want to go. She even reached out to the poor scholar for help. Not to mention that the poor scholar didn't have the ability to save her, even if he did, he wouldn't help a woman who had betrayed him and humiliated him. "You did so much, wasn't it because you wanted to enter the Governor Manor? Now that you have fulfilled your wish, you should be happy. Don't worry, I will go back to your family to cancel the marriage. I definitely won't delay your future. "
The woman was stunned at first. She probably didn't think that the other party would be so heartless, shouting that she was wrong and begging him to save her. Unfortunately, everything couldn't be salvaged.
A group of young masters being 'paraded through the streets', this was a big story. It attracted the attention of many people, so everyone rushed to spread the news. Naturally, more and more people gathered.
These people were usually awe-inspiring and were avoided by others. They were complacent. Now, they only wished that there was a hole in the ground for them to crawl into. Of course, those who had such thoughts were those who hadn't completely fallen. Most people glared at them fiercely, the threat was self-evident. However, what they got in return was the pain of the scabbard on their bodies.
That grimacing, incomparably miserable appearance simply made people clap their hands in joy. They couldn't help but inquire about which capable person was able to control this group of bullies.
Therefore, in an extremely short period of time, the people of Kaiming Manor knew that a prince of the current dynasty had graced them with his presence. This group of bullies of Kaiming Manor, except for some who didn't go out today, or those who didn't get along with the Governor's son and didn't get along, the rest of the bullies were all dealt with by this prince.
Although a part of it was indescribably bloody, most people, especially those who had been bullied, were more willing to ignore this part. They only said, "Well done."
Therefore, no matter how tyrannical a person was, when he met the 'wrong person', no matter how tyrannical he was, he would be easily crushed.
When they returned to the courtyard, this group of young masters were all mercilessly locked up in a small dark room. Anyway, there were enough rooms, one for each person. There were two imperial bodyguards guarding the door of each room. This time, they were real imperial bodyguards with swords. If they were obedient, then it would be good for you, good for me, and good for everyone. If they wanted to quarrel or make a scene, then they would be directly beaten up, tied up, and gagged.
Li Hongyuan seemed to want to show that he was a man of his words. When he returned to the courtyard, he ordered to find the other important people who came with him this time. He clearly told them, "This prince has taken a liking to Kaiming Manor. You all should quickly go and do things for this prince. If you do it well, then that's what you should do. If you don't do it well, then Li Hongyuan sneered twice. The meaning of his words was self-evident.
The people who were originally loyal to Li Hongyuan couldn't help but shiver. They repeatedly responded and would not disappoint.
Li Hongyuan didn't assign them specific tasks, whether they should work together or separately. He only let them negotiate.
Don't know how many people rejoiced in their hearts. It turned out that things weren't as serious as they thought. So what if Jin Qinwang made people fearful? In the end, he was someone who didn't understand anything. To fool him, it wasn't a difficult matter. Therefore, one after another, they expressed that everything would be handed over to them. Wangye only needed to accompany Wangfei to relax and play in Kaiming Manor. As for the people of Kaiming Manor, they could only express their apologies. Although Kaiming Manor was also one of the sources of benefits for the 'Master', but now, they had to distinguish between the severity of the matter and the urgency of the matter, and make appropriate choices.
Some people only wanted to say, "I hope you can be naive until the end. When the time comes, not only will you not be of help, but you will also fall into it." Being ruthless and black-hearted was the true nature of the King of Hell.
In a place like Jiangnan, those who coveted the throne would not be easily let off. The same manor, the same county, it was impossible for it to be controlled by one person. Now, the people of each faction wanted to go to their own home ground to "investigate". They wanted to help hide some important things, but they also needed to see if the people of the other factions would allow it. Even if it wasn't this kind of situation, Li Hongyuan would also turn it into this kind of situation. On the surface, there was peace, but in the dark, there were various kinds of hindrances. When Li Hongyuan pulled in the net, the things that they thought were hidden would be exposed by others. And Li Hongyuan didn't need to do much, he could just sit alone on the fishing platform.
In fact, at this time, the more they did, the more mistakes they would make. If they obediently wrote a memorial and admitted their mistakes, perhaps Le Chengdi would still be lenient.
Everything had been planned out by Li Hongyuan when he was setting up the plan.
And when Li Hongyuan summoned these people, Jingwan also received the madams who came. Originally, they were prepared to be rejected at the door and possibly put on a show of "crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang themselves". In the end, all their preparations were useless. Not only did Jingwan let them in at the first moment, she was also polite and had people serve them good tea and snacks. Before this cup of tea was finished, she herself appeared. Once again, they thought that they would be left out to drink a stomach full of tea, but it was all in vain.
Jingwan's clothes were not particularly formal and grand, and the jewelry on her body was also very simple. She even wore a string of Buddhist beads on one of her wrists. But if one looked carefully, one would find that although it was simple, each of them was exquisite, expensive, generous, and dignified. Even many of them in their generation might not be able to have such a thing.
No wonder the men in the family all said to bring some new and exquisite things to the door. It would be better if it was rare flowers and plants. As for the other things, no matter how expensive they were in their eyes, they would not be taken seriously by them.
However, they were all surprised by Jingwan's young age, or rather, young age. Of course, only people who had no understanding of Li Hongyuan's "love history" would think so. After all, this matter in Jiangnan had nothing to do with him. The business was more important, so who would mention these irrelevant things?
Because Jingwan's attitude was easy-going, but she did not lose her composure. She did not say anything else and just chatted with them about daily life. It did not feel like she was deliberately avoiding today's important matter.
In fact, Jingwan immediately felt that these people's moods were different. Some of them were anxious, while others were indifferent. Jingwan could also guess the reason. It was nothing more than the difference between biological children and not biological children. If it was a grandfather and a grandson, it would be fine. But how could it be the same as running around for their own son and running around for the son of a concubine?
However, there was one person who was especially friendly. She only praised Jingwan to the heavens. Her mouth was as sweet as honey. However, this soup of love did not have any effect on Jingwan. Moreover, she found that the others did not pay much attention to her. If it was not a problem with their character, then it was … "Which family is this madam from?"
"Replying to the Princess, this concubine is …"
"Your Highness, she is the administrative commissioner's wife, Madam Ru." Another madam by the side spoke first.
As expected, there was such a person among the group of official wives. Unless the official wife's family wanted the administrative commissioner, no official wife would associate with other people's concubines. It was a pity that none of the madams here today needed to curry favor with the other party.
The person who was smiling like a flower and had a glib tongue suddenly changed her expression. But in the next moment, she put on a smile again. "Your Highness, this concubine …"
"I didn't know that a concubine could go out to socialize, especially in front of me." This was the first time Jingwan called herself a concubine since her marriage. Her attitude could not be more obvious. "Come, send the guests away. Pass down the order that no one from the administrative commissioner's family is allowed to come here."
The administrative commissioner's wife, Madam Ru, probably did not expect that Lin Mengya, who was so amiable just a moment ago, would suddenly turn hostile. "No, Your Highness, it's because my family's madam is seriously ill and cannot get out of bed. That's why Laoye let this concubine replace …"
Jingwan's eyes turned sharp and swept over. The person who was trying to defend herself seemed to be strangled and couldn't spit out a word.
"This … Madam Ru, please leave. If I let someone throw you out, I'm afraid that it would be even more unsightly." Jingwan's wet nurse was now promoted to a steward mama.
Speaking of which, in the wangfu, before the wangfei married, there would be at least two steward mamas to serve the master. Jin Qinwang fu was an exception. Li Hongyuan's wet nurse had died of an illness when he was eleven years old. After he opened the fu, "What does an old woman want to do?" At that time, none of the women above were able to enter Jin Qinwang fu. Therefore, in Jin Qinwang fu, there was no one who could restrain Jingwan. In other wangfu, because they had healed a wangye and claimed credit, they took advantage of their seniority and pointed fingers at wangfei. This situation had long been completely strangled by Li Hongyuan. If you pointed fingers at his sweetheart, he would let you break your hands and feet.
Although she was unwilling, she could only leave. Moreover, she couldn't show any resentment. However, she was a concubine who could replace the mistress to go out. Naturally, she had high standards in all aspects and wouldn't let people catch her in such an obvious place. Her rules were not wrong.
After the eyesore left, Jingwan's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Only, compared to before, the scene was slightly colder. Most likely, they didn't think that Jingwan would be so decisive, chasing people away just like that. Like them, even if it was the Governor's wife or the Governor's wife, even if they didn't like them, they would at most give them the cold shoulder.
However, this wasn't the time to talk about this. Their own children were the key, but such a large sum of money … … "Wangfei niangniang, although it is very rude … …"
Jingwan slightly waved her hand, "I know the purpose of everyone's visit, so there is no need to say anything. Although I am not a mother yet, but sooner or later, I will come to this step. I can understand the general feeling. Because there are people supporting the family, it is normal for the children to be poor. As parents and grandparents, all of you probably think so. However, if you put yourself in their shoes, just think about it. Just like today, when the Prince replaced your children's role, how you feel now, and how the families of those who were harmed by your children feel. The pain your children are suffering now is also the pain of those who were harmed by them. Because of their inferior status, they suffered undeserved misfortune. Although the Prince's status is higher, it is still reasonable for him to kill people for money. They are all raised by their parents, who doesn't want them to live a peaceful and happy life?
In fact, in terms of age, I am only a junior to all of you. Because of my status, I said a few more words. If you think you can listen, please listen. This is just a one-sided opinion. Because of my young age, I have less experience and don't understand many things. Madams, please don't blame me. "
"Your Highness, you are too serious. It is us who are shallow. We are ashamed." That's right. Such a simple truth was not as clear as a junior's. In fact, those who were of a lower status should understand this. They were bullied by someone they couldn't afford to offend, so they had to take revenge on someone of a lower status to feel better.
Jingwan smiled, "The Prince is a prince. He was born noble and is favored by His Majesty. Forgive me for being disrespectful, but when it comes to lawlessness, there is probably no one in the entire Qi Yuan who can compete with him. Most people will more or less be restrained by others, but he is different, so he always does as he pleases. If he is unhappy, everyone will be unhappy with him. However, the Prince won't take the initiative to cause trouble, so if you don't provoke him, he probably won't even look at you. Speaking of which, the Prince is actually quite protective. Today's matter is partly because of me. However, it is true that the Governor's wife's son went overboard and was unpleasant to the eye. The others were the result of the Prince's anger. "
The Governor's wife was a grandmother a long time ago. Her face was flushed red, but it was unknown whether it was due to shame or anger.
"Because the Prince is favored by His Majesty, His Majesty has piled the best things in the world on him since he was young. It is widely acknowledged that his food and clothing are better than His Majesty's. He has never worried about money. To put it bluntly, he has no concept of money at all. He can use silver as copper coins, so there is no difference between a hundred thousand taels of silver and a hundred thousand copper coins. In fact, a hundred thousand copper coins is only a hundred taels of silver. How can a hundred thousand taels of silver and a hundred taels of silver be the same? Therefore, the Prince's words at that time were just a casual remark. He didn't think that you can't afford it. However, he is a Prince and as his wife, I can't embarrass him in public. Therefore, madams, you can rest assured that I will persuade the Prince. However, since he has said it, it is not possible to waive all the money. I can guarantee that it will be much less than the original amount. "
Hearing her words, the madams all heaved a sigh of relief and thanked her profusely. They also said that as long as Jingwan gave them a number, they would immediately go back to raise money.
"Actually, I have a suggestion. Why don't the madams listen to it?" Jingwan said with a little calculation in her eyes.
"There's no harm in speaking your mind, esteemed wangfei." At this moment, their favorability towards Jingwan soared.
Jingwan had a deeper meaning as she waved the people beside her away, "When a woman marries, she must be filial to her parents-in-law, serve her husband, take care of her children, and take care of her uncles and aunts. It is a hard job, but most of the time, men don't care about it and think that it is natural. Not only that, they have a bunch of concubines in their rooms and ask their wives to be virtuous and magnanimous. They have taken all the good things in the world, so they should occasionally repay them a little ….." After saying this, Jingwan stopped and took a sip of her tea.
The madams couldn't stop their hearts from beating fast as they eagerly looked at Jingwan.
"Madams, when you go back home, tell your families that you have begged me. I have only agreed to ask the Prince for a few more days. After that, you can come to the courtyard again. We won't do anything other than drink tea and chat. When you go back, you can bring back some 'good news'. Let them feel that whether it is money or their children, they need to rely on you to save them. Like this, I don't believe that they will remain indifferent. As for what to do, it will be up to the madams."
It had to be said, which one of them wasn't a shrewd person? Moreover, most of them were fighting machines in the inner courtyard. How could they not take advantage of such a good opportunity? With their acting skills, they could use any kind of emotion. They could be as sad as they could be and as anxious as they could be. They could grasp the degree of emotion well. Taking this opportunity, even if they did not benefit themselves, they could benefit their children and grandchildren. Especially those who came for the sake of the illegitimate sons, as long as they revealed a little and begged the Jin Wangfei, there might be hope. They would not beg them to come to Jingwan. Those who had the intention of favoring the concubine and neglecting the wife would have to obediently take out more benefits.
Only those couples who didn't have any barriers between them would not accept Jingwan's proposal. But were there any of them? No!
They looked at each other and then stood up to give a bow. They were sincerely thanking her.
Jingwan waved her hand. "There's no need for that. I just don't like it … that's all."
Everyone knew about the unfinished words. Madam Ru, who had unceremoniously chased away the political envoy, was the best proof. But to go to such an extent and scheme against her husband, under normal circumstances, few people would think this way. "Esteemed Princess Consort, but His Highness …" Because of Jingwan's words, the relationship between the two sides seemed to have become much closer. They couldn't help but start to care about her.
"That's not it. His Highness is very good. The Prince's Mansion doesn't have any secondary concubines or concubines. I just … don't have a good impression of any of them." It was no wonder that Jingwan used the word "concubine". That was because she still had a mother-in-law who was a "concubine". If word got out, she would be in trouble.
If some things weren't exposed, then everything else could be discussed. But if it was exposed, then it wouldn't be the case.
"Esteemed Princess Consort, from the beginning, you sent this subject's servant away. Was it because of this?" Now that everything was fine and their relationship was closer, she joked.
Jingwan smiled, "There's no need to expose this kind of thing."
Everyone laughed and casually talked about some trivial things in their own families.
When it came to Jingwan, she didn't hide anything. Everyone was surprised that she was younger than they had expected.
"I thought that esteemed Princess Consort only had a tender face, but I didn't think that she was really only fifteen. This kind of bearing, a normal person wouldn't be able to cultivate it even after several decades."
Everyone else echoed and praised Jingwan. Although there was a bit of flattery, most of it was sincere.
"Madams are overpraising me." Jingwan smiled lightly.
It wasn't until Li Hongyuan sent people to find her that Jingwan expressed that she didn't want them to stay.
"This subject's servant has disturbed esteemed Princess Consort. It's just that the evil creatures in the family …"
"Everyone, don't worry. Although they won't be as comfortable as they are at home and might even suffer some physical pain, please believe that they won't be injured or lose a piece of flesh. I personally think that it's better for those people to suffer a bit and be taught a lesson. If we want His Highness to let go of the silver, we naturally have to let him cool down. "Speaking of this, Jingwan showed a bit of embarrassment," With my understanding of His Highness, I'm afraid that even if you give him the silver, he won't easily let them go. "
This time, everyone was anxious.
Jingwan sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. I can persuade His Highness to take a step back, but I can't make him give in completely."
"We've gone too far. It's obvious that esteemed Princess Consort can do this. It's already not easy."
"If you ask me, esteemed Princess Consort is right. That evil creature should be taught a lesson. If he doesn't learn his lesson this time, he won't be so lucky to have another person like esteemed Princess Consort to deal with him in the future. When the time comes, should we let him give up his life or let his whole family die?" One of the madams said coldly.
At a glance, it was obvious that they came for the bastard. However, her words were very reasonable, so they hardened their hearts and even said that as long as His Highness didn't lose an arm or a leg, he could let people teach him a lesson. Then they all said goodbye.
But when they left, their faces were filled with sadness. Jingwan sighed in her heart. Sure enough, they were all kings of acting.
Even the people who served them realized that the situation was not good when they saw their expressions. They served them carefully and didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Not long after they left, Li Hongyuan came over and the maids were still cleaning up the mess.
"Is His Highness finished?" Jingwan asked.
"It's already finished. I don't have to do anything specific. It's just a matter of a few words. But on your side, it's endless. Women are troublesome."
"What are you talking about?" Jingwan glared at him.
"I'm not talking about you, I'm not talking about you. This troublesome woman definitely doesn't include you. I hope that Wan Wan can be more troublesome and trouble me all the time." Li Hongyuan hurriedly coaxed.
"When that time comes, you'll dislike me."
"At most, I'll do something else. I'll never dislike you." Li Hongyuan chuckled. He held her face and kissed her fiercely. Jingwan was about to reach out and slap him away, but Li Hongyuan stopped. He sat beside her and played with her fingers. "What did you say to them?"
Jingwan didn't hide anything and told him everything. Then she smiled and said, "What does His Highness think?"
"What does Wan Wan want me to think?" Jingwan asked calmly.
"You promised them a discount without discussing it with you. You slandered you, saying that you have no concept of money and that you help women scheme against men. None of these should make you feel good." Jingwan counted with her fingers and listed them one by one with Li Hongyuan.
"First, it was expected. My original intention was to let you do this. Second, your husband, I, really have no concept of money. Third, what do those people have to do with me? Are they that important because they are estranged from their wives? My good heart, although you've made some progress, it's still far from enough. No matter what you want to do, just do it. Even if it's my decision, I'll take responsibility for it. If something goes wrong, I'll fix it. So, there's no need to worry. "
"Ah Yuan, it's easy for you to spoil people like this, do you know? There are many things that you can't joke about casually. If you poke a hole or make a mistake, it's not something that can be easily covered up. It's not something that can be fixed just because you want to. For example, a dead person can't be brought back to life. You understand all these, don't you? "
"I know, I understand. You're so serious when talking about these things. Tell me, do you think it's easy for me to spoil you like this? It should be said that it's not that I have to clean up after you do something. It's that you have to clean up after me. There's a wild beast in my heart called 'unscrupulous'. You're the rope that binds it to prevent me from making irreversible mistakes. So, Wan Wan, you really don't have to worry about anything. For you, as long as something makes you lose your mind, I promise that it will never happen. "
It was fine if he didn't stir up emotions, but once he did, it made people's hearts unbearable. Sure enough, she shouldn't have started this topic in front of this bastard. Jingwan held back her tears and said with a smile, "Maybe it's two things. If something happens to you …"
"Don't jinx it." Li Hongyuan directly sealed her words with a kiss. "Wan Wan, even if you die, you'll definitely die before me. I won't leave you to deal with my funeral."
"Hey, you're a few years older than me. It's fine if you die of old age. If not, I'll lose too much."
"Of course I'll die of old age. I'll try my best to live longer than you. Not only will we be born in the same bed, but we'll also die in the same coffin."
Jingwan smiled and rubbed her chin on his neck. "Okay."
They hugged each other quietly for a while.
"Ah Yuan, how much do you think we should give them in terms of silver?"
"There's no doubt that there's a problem in Kaiming Prefecture and even the entire Tongzhou County. Kaiming Prefecture is a prefectural city and also a county, so the problem is particularly serious. However, there are only a few people that need to be dealt with. Because the purpose of this trip isn't here, it's not easy to investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, there'll be suspicion of overstepping one's authority. You know there's a problem, but you didn't ask you to do it. If you do, the one on the throne will be unhappy. I stayed in Kaiming Prefecture to alert the enemy. When the time comes, I don't have to do anything. He'll take action himself. As for the silver, you can reduce it as much as you want. You don't have to be polite to the people you want to deal with. That administrator isn't a good person either. "
"Okay." As for the group of scumbags she brought back, it wasn't that her husband wanted to appease his anger, but she wanted to teach them a good lesson. However, Jingwan didn't care about the governor's son. This narrow-minded man would never let him go. It was good enough to keep him intact. "Lord Zuo Qianshi of the Blackguard, you also sent him out?" Jingwan also seemed to see Yu Zhongqing's figure. These two had been "inseparable" before.
"Assisting other people in their work."
After that, they didn't go out again. It wouldn't be too late to go out and play after this matter was completely settled.
After dismissing the irrelevant people, Li Hongyuan was also very idle. Jingwan didn't go out, he also didn't go out. It was a typical case of having a wife and everything was enough.
At this time, they couldn't find out any news about this courtyard. Each and every one of them could only scratch blindly.
The previous style of living King of Hell was absolutely consistent with what was written in the letter. But now, it was as if he was a different person.
If it wasn't for the many furens going to the courtyard every day and being able to see Jin Qinwang Fei every day and occasionally see Jin Qinwang, they would have thought that there was no one inside.
Of course, it was said that the number of hours the furens sat on the cold bench increased day by day. If it wasn't for their reputation, they might have been rejected at the door.
However, the result of the furens' perseverance was still gratifying. Until the fifth day, Jin Qinwang Fei didn't appear again. But she spread the word that the money was reduced to 10%, which was the original money for "buying the corpse". The original one hundred thousand to nine hundred thousand taels, now ten thousand to ninety thousand taels. Every family could take it out and there was nothing more to say.
And the group of furens were very grateful to Jingwan. What they got from the family was far beyond their expectations. They fiercely held their heads up high.
Originally, it wasn't that they didn't suspect that this was actually a play performed by Jin Qinwang and Jin Qinwang Fei. But the matter of the Governor's son humiliating the poor scholar, it was impossible for the two of them to have known about it. Moreover, the one who benefited from the whole thing seemed to be Jin Qinwang Fei's benevolent reputation. What was the use of this? The officials would not be deeply grateful to Jin Qinwang just because they gave less money, so it had nothing to do with Jin Qinwang's work in Jiangnan. Thinking left and right, it was still Jin Qinwang Fei's actions that were the most reliable.
No matter whether it was reliable or not, as the furens who really benefited, they had to continue singing this play.
After the news was released, each family hurriedly went home to "raise money" and then sent it to the door one after another.
Corresponding to their official position, the amount was given. Everyone was very successful. The only one who wasn't successful was the administrator. Other people reduced the amount, but he didn't have a share.
The administrator, secondary second rank, eight hundred thousand taels, not a single copper coin less. Eighty thousand taels to take the person back, there was no way. — — Jin Qinwang said that the administrator letting Ru Furen come was a humiliation to his Wangfei. That was also a humiliation to him. He expressed that he was very unhappy. Therefore, with eight hundred thousand taels, not a single cent less, he didn't want to take the person back. Other than that, he also didn't want to take the corpse back for eighty thousand taels.
Receiving this news, the administrator almost fainted.
Those who knew about this matter all sighed endlessly. That, there should be a limit to favoring a concubine. Overstepping the etiquette could take a person's life.
However, for someone like Jin Qinwang who didn't abide by the rules, he unexpectedly attached great importance to etiquette. In the end, it was because he attached great importance to the current Jin Qinwang Fei. If it was another person, perhaps it wouldn't be like this. However, who knew?
In addition, there was a small problem with the Governor's family. Two hundred and fifty thousand taels were reduced to two hundred and fifty thousand taels, but when they collected, they only collected two hundred and forty thousand taels. Originally, one hundred and fifty thousand taels was to buy the various parts of his son's body. One million taels was to disturb and dampen the Wangfei's mood. In reality, the Wangfei said that the latter was waived. However, he was a second rank official, so redeeming his son should be nine hundred thousand taels. Thus, the final result was two hundred and forty thousand taels.
The Governor choked on a mouthful of old blood. He couldn't spit it out, nor could he swallow it. Was he thankful that he didn't collect one hundred thousand taels of "mood money"? Or was he resentful that he bought his son's life twice?
The money was given, but if his own child didn't see it, this matter wouldn't be over.
