Chapter 109: It's Getting Late, It's Time to Sleep
When the county magistrate heard this, his heart suddenly shook, and his body trembled involuntarily: "Chen Gongzi, you, what do you want to do?" ”
Chen Qi smiled: "What are you doing so nervously? I'm not a bandit, and I won't steal you and rob you! ”
"I just want to save your life!"
"Save my life?"
The county commander's eyes widened, as if he didn't understand what Chen Qi meant.
When he looked at Chen Qi's smiling expression again, the county order finally reflected, and 10,000 drafts rushed by in his heart.
You're not a bandit, you're better than a bandit!
"That's right, you hand over the money first, and then I'll tell you how to save your life! If you don't, oops, tsk, then it's hard to say! ”
For so many days, Hongluan has protected Chen Qi, and has formed a tacit understanding with him.
Hongluan silently stood up from behind Chen Qi, a pair of phoenix eyes flashed with cold light, and the long sword on his waist was already unsheathed.
"Okay, I'll give, I'll give! Please Chen Gongzi to move to the humble house! ”
The county commander wanted to cry without tears, so he could only take Chen Qi and them to his home.
Coming to a cellar in a corner, the corners of Chen Qi's mouth twitched slightly: "You are quite cautious!" ”
The county magistrate bent over and accompanied a smiling face: "No way, the above is strictly checked!" ”
With that, he led the people into the cellar.
After lighting the candles, Chen Qi and the others were shocked again.
Because the treasures here are also piled up, in addition to the lack of porcelain produced by those official kilns, the gold, silver and jewelry in the county order are not much less than those of the Li family.
A box of silver ingots and gold bars next to each other made everyone's eyes hot.
Chen Qi took a deep breath and looked at the county order: "How much have you embezzled?" ”
"Ahem, it's not much, we are also from a bitter background, and we don't want to save more money and have a stable heart!"
"Alright, I don't have time to listen to you here! Go and call all the officials! ”
"Yes, Childe!"
Chen Qi gathered all the 100 officials in the courtyard and pointed to the boxes of silver ingots on the ground: "As long as you promise me a request, these are all yours!" ”
Looking at the white flowers, the officials had even thought about where to go tonight to have a good time, and immediately nodded: "I will go to the soup for Chen Gongzi, and I will not hesitate!" ”
"Good!"
"From today onwards, you are not allowed to exploit the common people and make money from them! In addition, strengthen the defense of the county seat, and you can't let those thieves in! ”
"In the end, you must obey my and Han Shangping's orders and not disobey them! No betrayal! ”
"As long as you can meet the above requirements, your income will increase by three times!"
"Gongzi Xie! We will live up to expectations! ”
At this time, there seemed to be an itch in the hearts of the officials, and they only thought of taking the silver in their hands and squandering it in the next moment.
"Good!"
Chen Qi took out a box of ingots separately: "Distribute these silvers to the officials who are now serving in the county, and make persistent efforts!" As long as they work hard, they will be doubled! ”
"Yes!"
At this time, all the officials and officials who were originally dissatisfied with Chen Qi left satisfied, and they were even more grateful to Chen Qi in their hearts.
Looking at the backs of everyone leaving happily, Jiang Yunying's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Chen Qi, these corrupt officials and those officials are all bastards who suck blood from the people, why are you still so good to them?" ”
"This money is more meaningful than this to feed the dogs!"
Chen Qi smiled lightly: "Lady, what do you mean is that I should kill all these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and slaughter all these officials!" And then replace it with all good people as officials, right? ”
"Of course!"
"No!"
Chen Qi shook his head: "Lady, if I kill all these people, the county will fall into turmoil!" Because these people have worked here for many years, everything in the county is in charge of them with love! It doesn't matter how they make money, but there's no denying that they're familiar with it. ”
"If a newcomer comes to power, it is likely to be difficult to control the situation in the county!"
"The county Cheng and the Li family were both executed by us, the current situation in the county is already in turmoil, if we kill people again, it will be difficult to stabilize the current situation in the county!"
"I hate these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but I can't help it, now is the time to employ people, I must rely on them to stabilize the situation!"
Hongluan had enough experience in this area, and said with a smile: "Cousin, brother-in-law probably won't let these people go so easily!" ”
"That's nature!"
Chen Qi sat down to relieve his nerves that had been tense for a day: "I just want to unite our forces now, let us stand firm as soon as possible, and when we can really control the situation by ourselves, we will definitely settle the old accounts with this group of guys!" ”
"Do you really think these servants will be so honest? What they promised just now is indeed very good, but it is impossible for them to be honest during this time! ”
Chen Qi smiled lightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "During this time, I will ask Erniang to help collect evidence, and when we settle accounts after the autumn, this group of people will not even have a chance to quibble!" ”
Chen Qi's explanation, Jiang Yunying was silent for a long time, looked at Chen Qi, and muttered: "I didn't expect you to have such an old and cunning side!" ”
"Tsk, lady, I'm called smart and wise, okay?"
Chen Qi rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "How can you say that your husband is a treacherous and cunning?" ”
"Cousin, brother-in-law, can you not show affection in front of me! The flesh is numb! ”
Seeing Chen Qi and Jiang Yunying's eyebrows, Hongluan couldn't stand it anymore and withdrew from the room.
At this time, there were only two people left in the room, Chen Qi and Jiang Yunying, and a silence made the room extremely silent.
Both could hear each other's heartbeats.
"Chen Qi, your heart is beating so fast, are you thinking about something bad?"
Jiang Yunying was the first to speak.
"No, it's not a bad thing! It's a good thing! ”
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Chen Qi's mouth: "Moreover, it is a good thing to benefit others and yourself!" ”
"You...... ”
Jiang Yunying was about to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Qi suddenly coming to his eyes.
"Lady, it's getting late now, isn't it time to go to bed?"
