Chapter 51: The Price of Conscience

Five days later, the county.

Xi He, Qiao Xuan, and Xi Yan were crowded in a group of people.

"Kill this dog officer!"

Li Mingyu, who used to be infinitely beautiful, is now curled up and chubby in the prisoner car, becoming a rat crossing the street, and rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves are smashed from all directions.

"Big badass, big bad guy" Even the children at the corner of the street threw stones at him.

Qiao Xuan stopped at the door of an inn, and seeing that she didn't follow the prisoner car, Xi He and Xi Yan didn't leave.

"It's really rare to be a good official with clean sleeves and a good official who serves the country and the people!" Qiao Xuan shook his head and sighed.

Xi He stared at the direction where the prisoner car was gone, and silently remembered what Qiao Xuan said in his heart.

"Let's go!" His throat rolled, and his voice was low and hoarse.

The three of them entered the inn, He Zhuyuan had been standing at the top of the stairs and waiting for a while, and when he saw Xi He, he grinned, "Come up!" ”

"This is Miss Qiao, right?"

He Zhuyuan looked at Qiao Xuan, he had long been curious about Qiao Xuan, "I am He Zhuyuan, Xi He's classmate and friend. ”

"Hello Gongzi He" Qiao Xuan had already guessed He Zhuyuan's identity in his heart, and nodded politely to say hello.

Xi He frowned and gave He Zhuyuan a warning look, He Zhuyuan smiled stupidly, and took out a booklet from his arms.

The four of them sat down, Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan sat on the left and right sides of Xi He, and He Zhuyuan sat by the open window shaking his fan, looking leisurely.

The booklet recorded in great detail the treasures and silver coins that Li Mingyu hid in the treasury, and there were more than 20 pages of them.

"You're not going to take it all, are you?"

Qiao Xuan asked curiously.

He Zhuyuan shook his head, "There are so many things, we can't finish them, and some things are not suitable for getting rid of." So as not to cause unnecessary trouble, we took only some gold and silver money. ”

After a pause, he continued, "We're going to re-register the things we left behind as evidence of the dog's corruption. ”

"So that no one will suspect us."

He Zhuyuan smiled a little proudly, he didn't treat Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan as outsiders.

Xi He's eyes became colder and colder as he flipped through those books, and the dog officials who filled their pockets were really a lot of people in Gupo County over the years.

"What are you going to do with it?" Qiao Xuan asked with a smile while holding his chin with one hand.

"In winter, there will be a shortage of food in many villages, and when the time comes, they will give porridge in the town, pay some money for the poor students in their families, and put some of it in credible medical centers for those who cannot afford to get medicine and see a doctor."

Xi He said quietly, Heding Mountain used to do this.

Qiao Xuan was shocked, this Pingdingshan is really a cow!

"I don't know what about the new prefectural order? But don't be the second Li Mingyu," He Zhuyuan muttered, often walking by the river, there is always a time when his shoes will be wet, and Hedingshan can't always do these things of stealing chickens and touching dogs.

"Aren't you able to pinch it! Why don't you do the math? ”

Xi He glared at He Zhuyuan.

He Zhuyuan will know about Qiao Xuan's affairs because last time he went to the county government with Qiao Xuan, he was seen by a classmate and told He Zhuyuan, He Zhuyuan inquired stubbornly, and he told him in desperation.

The corners of Qiao Xuan's mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "I am a human, not a god, and I can still know everything." ”

He Zhuyuan slapped the fan in his hand, and the broken hair on his forehead was constantly shaking, "I want to ask for a hexagram." ”

"Ask what? Marriage or fortune? Qiao Xuan asked after taking a sip of tea.

He Zhuyuan didn't expect Qiao Xuan to agree without hesitation, he was stunned and then quickly shook his head, "It's not." ”

"I want to ask if I can get famous."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xi He, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Xi He's fingers on the table moved, and his deep eyes fell on Qiao Xuan's face, obviously he was also interested in this question.

Qiao Xuan put away the extra expression on his face, and the whole person became serious, a pair of dark eyes stared at He Zhuyuan's face tightly, she was looking at his face.

He Zhuyuan was unnaturally looked at by her, he was very nervous, and his heart was beating wildly.

"How—how?"

He swallowed, squeezed the fan in his hand, and asked cautiously.

Qiao Xuan took out her bag, "draw two lots", and she handed over the bamboo tube.

He Zhuyuan took out two sticks, the first one was a "chao" word, and the second one was a "new" word.

When he saw the first word, He Zhuyuan was still a little happy in his heart, thinking that the word "chao" didn't represent the meaning of the court, but he didn't understand the second word very well.

"What does that mean?"

"It means that if you stick to what you want, you will definitely lose your direction, and if you change your goal in time, you may gain a lot."

Qiao Xuan explained.

He Zhuyuan's eyes darkened and he was disoriented? Xi He got up and walked over and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, who doesn't want to be a scholar who doesn't want to be famous? He Zhuyuan is no exception.

"What about Brother Xi?"

He Zhuyuan raised his head sharply and asked Qiao Xuan after pointing to Xi He beside him.

Xi He's body stiffened, he? His eyes couldn't help but drift to Qiao Xuan, would he be the same as He Zhuyuan?

Qiao Xuan's gaze met Xi He's in the air, and then she moved away, "It's the hexagram you asked, what did Xi He do?" ”

"Hexagram money, you give it for him?"

"I'll give!" He Zhuyuan said without hesitation.

Qiao Xuan was stunned, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he had to admit honestly, "I can't count Xi He, and I can't see through his face." ”

Xi He's face was surprised, but from Qiao Xuan's expression, he knew that she was telling the truth and not lying, "Why is this happening?" ”

"There are two possibilities, the first is because of the marriage contract between the two of us, our relatives and people who are close to us can't see the face, and the second is that there are masters who block your life."

After Qiao Xuan's words were finished, the room fell silent.

He Zhuyuan didn't know whether he believed it or not, and after drinking a cup of tea, he asked, "What do you mean by me changing my goal?" Can you elaborate on that? ”

He is from the village, is it difficult to go farming if he can't study? He won't be a good seedling of farming who is delayed by studying, right?

"I look at your face, the location of the Wealth Palace is excellent, and the Guanlu Palace is mediocre, suitable for business, if you are interested, you can develop in this direction,

You are easy to listen to the words of villains, soft-hearted, and at the age of thirty or so, you will be betrayed by the closest people and planted a big heel, and since then your heart has become resolute, and then you have a new life. ”

Qiao Xuan's mouth was a little dry, and after taking a sip of tea, "That's all I can say, and the rest can't be said, fifty taels of silver." ”

"So expensive?" He Zhuyuan was surprised, and touched the ten taels of silver in his money bag.

"It's not expensive! Conscience price" Xi He said very pertinently, "Compared with the price you give to others, you are already cheap, after all, you get what you pay for, and so many heavenly opportunities have been revealed." ”
