Changping Street, the study in the backyard of the county government.

The bright sunlight poured into the room, and the man behind the desk rubbed the corners of his forehead, and was about to take a nap when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

County Cheng Linhai pushed the door in, bowed down and handed over a folded official document with both hands, and said softly: "My lord, this is the settlement document for the seizure of the king's shopkeeper and the Xinglong gambling house, please take a look." ”

Shen Ye took it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and questioned: "The shopkeeper Wang only copied out three hundred taels?" ”

Lin Hai nodded yes.

Shen Ye frowned, and the woman's question sounded in his ears---- "I wonder if the adult can help the folk girl recover the 30,000 taels of silver?" ”

"Xinglong Gambling House is a golden cave." Shen Ye looked at the list and said slowly.

Lin Hai didn't dare to answer, the adults had been in office for a few years, but he didn't expect to end the Xinglong Gambling House in one pot!

The point is that the people behind the gambling house didn't come to look for trouble.

Lin Hai suddenly felt a chill in his back, wasn't the county order as mediocre as he thought? Have you always underestimated the strength of the prefectural magistrate?

Shen Ye closed the list and said in a deep voice: "Among the copied silver, 30,000 taels will be divided and sent to Xu's mansion." ”

"Huh?" Lin Hai exclaimed, "My lord, this is unreasonable. ”

Shen Ye stood up, took off a long sword hanging on the wall, pinned it to his waist, turned to the county and said, "It is reasonable for the thing to be returned to its original owner." ”

Lin Hai had no choice but to respond: "Yes, my lord." Then he left the room.

Shen Ye came to the garden, first moved his muscles and bones, then pulled out his sword, and danced three sets of swordsmanship in succession, his clothes were slightly wet.

A crisp burst of applause rang out, and Shen Ye looked over and saw Li Bozhou clapping his hands and walking over.

"Brother Ji Yuan is so skilled!" Li Bozhou smiled and admired.

Shen Ye put away the sword, sat down on the stone bench, and asked expressionlessly, "How did Wen Yan have time to come over today?" Don't you need to be at home with Mrs. Lee? ”

A few days ago, there were some things to discuss with Li Bozhou, and Shen Yun was sent to invite, but this guy actually said that he couldn't bear to keep his wife alone in the empty boudoir, and he would come back another day.

Li Bozhou smiled and said, "Brother Ji Yuan has a lot, spare the younger brother." Guaranteed to be on call in the future. But he smiled in his heart, how can the county respect the lonely family know the joy of love.

Shen Ye glanced at him, and this time he didn't mention it.

Li Bozhou also sat down and asked, "Brother Ji Yuan sealed the Xinglong Gambling House, but didn't the Lord of Xingyuan Mansion send someone to look for you?" ”

"Lord Wang is too busy to take care of himself now, how can he divide his background to care about this trivial matter!" Shen Ye said.

Li Bozhou said with a straight face: "But Ling Zun did it?" ”

Shen Ye nodded.

Li Bozhou got up and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Brother Ji Yuan!" ”

"What a joy." Shen Ye said indifferently, "Whether he does it or not has nothing to do with me." ”

Li Bozhou sat down again and said with a smile: "I have cleared some obstacles. It will also be easier to do things in the future. ”

Shen Ye was noncommittal.

Li Bozhou said again: "The fifteenth younger brother is going to Meishan, is Brother Ji Yuan willing to go with him?" ”

Shen Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Li Bozhou had no choice but to explain: "The azalea bloom in Meishan is the most prestigious, and the younger brother just wants to invite Brother Ji Yuan to go to enjoy the flowers together." ”

Shen Ye asked, "Besides you and me, who else is going with you?" ”

Li Bozhou just wanted to tell a lie here, when he heard Shen Ye ask slowly, "Wen Yan wants to connect with your cousin with me again?" ”

Li Bozhou smiled, "Anyway, Brother Ji Yuan was idle in the county government that day, so it is better to go with us." At that time, the beauty is delicate, pleasing to the eye, isn't it beautiful! ”

Shen Ye said lightly: "Which eye of Wen Yan saw that I was idle?" When I buried the first time to read the official documents every day, Wen Yan was a beautiful woman in the warm boudoir. ”

Li Bozhou hurriedly said: "Slip of the tongue, it's the little brother who is idle and panicked, and Brother Ji Yuan is not familiar with me." But in his heart, he said that this guy is envious, jealous and hateful, and he doesn't care about him.

Shen Ye didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said: "I understand that you are newly married, and after such a long time, you should also start building a horse farm." ”

Li Bozhou said proudly: "When Brother Ji Yuan remembers this stubble, the horse farm has been built!" ”

Shen Ye looked at him with a slight surprise.

"The younger brother has already sent someone to buy horses. You can buy about 2,000 horses. Li Bozhou said more and more proudly.

"It is said that the Li Mansion is rich and the first party, and I believe this rumor today." Shen Ye said.

Li Bozhou immediately said modestly: "It's just a little bit of money." There are only about 300 good horses out of 2,000 horses. ”

Shen Ye nodded, "The price of a good horse is high, three hundred is enough." I am really impressed by the efficiency of Wen Yan's work. ”

The rare compliment made Li Bozhou's heart empty, "The little brother has just started to prepare for a long time, and it is not a fast thing." ”

Shen Ye smiled lightly.

Xiping Street, Xufu.

The sound of crackling abacus echoed in the study, Xu Qinghe was sketching on the account book with a pen in his right hand, and he was quickly fiddling with the abacus with his left hand.

Xu Yao rushed into the room and shouted with a smile: "Miss, the silver is here from the yamen!" ”

Xu Qinghe's hands kept moving, and he asked, "How much silver?" ”

"Thirty thousand taels! It's all delivered! Xu Yao replied happily.

Xu Qinghe suddenly stopped his movements, and the ink on the tip of the pen dripped on the paper, quickly turning into an ink ball.

Xu Qinghe didn't pay attention, and asked: "Are you sure it's 30,000 taels?" ”

Xu Yao nodded vigorously, "The official is still waiting outside, Miss go out quickly!" ”

Xu Qinghe hurriedly put down the brush, the soles of his feet were windy, and he ran out of the study in the blink of an eye.

Changping Street, the front yard of the county government.

After sending Li Bozhou away, Shen Ye returned to the front yard and saw Lin Wu, the head catcher, leading a group of officials to walk in with a smile and noise.

Lin Wu saw the county magistrate standing under the corridor, so he rushed forward and bowed: "My lord! ”

Shen Ye looked at them with a smile on his face, and asked in a deep voice, "The silver was sent over?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, 30,000 taels of silver will be carried into the treasury of the Xu Mansion." Lin Wu replied, "Miss Xu couldn't close her mouth happily, and insisted on inviting her brothers to have a drink. But the brothers remembered the teachings of the adults and politely declined. ”

Shen Ye nodded, "Let's get busy!" ”

Lin Wu withdrew with a group of servants.

Miss Xu also rewarded each of them with fifty taels of silver, but it was inconvenient to tell the county magistrate.

Shen Ye smiled at the corner of his mouth and returned to the room with his hands down. I can't imagine what it looks like for her to be happy and can't close her mouth......

During the unitary hour, the sky is dark, and the candles in the room are flickering.

Shen Ye put down the brush, collected and categorized the official documents, and stacked them neatly on the table. stood up and was about to go back to the backyard for dinner, when he saw Lin Wu coming in with a food box.

"My lord, this is the meal that Miss Xu brought to you from her subordinates." Lin Wudao, "Miss Xu said, she is very grateful to the adults for helping her recover 30,000 taels of silver, and she wanted to prepare a generous gift, but she was afraid that the adults would have a reputation for accepting bribes. So I cooked a few side dishes myself, chatted about my heart, and hoped that the adults would smile. ”

Shen Ye looked at the food box, would she still cook food?

Lin Wu looked at the face of the county magistrate, and said worriedly: "My lord, do you want to accept it?" ”

"Put it on the table." Shen Ye said lightly.

Lin Wu hurriedly put the food box on the table, opened it quickly, brought out a few side dishes one by one, and put the dishes and chopsticks away, Fang said: "My lord, please use it slowly, and my subordinates will say goodbye." With that, he withdrew.

There are a total of nine plates of dishes on the table, complete with meat and vegetables, and home-cooked dishes.

Shen Ye sat down at the table, picked up the wooden chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, tasted it, and it tasted good.
