MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 72

Of course, although Yan Shu has been a little tired of writing in her notebook recently, her enthusiasm for eating melons is still there.

So when I received this message, I immediately called the system again, 【What's the situation? Is this Liu Zhengxin's story true or false? 】

However, the system said, [There is indeed such a thing. As for Liu Zhengxin, when he was young, he got a good reputation and became a very small sesame official in a county in Huainan. This person is actually very greedy for money. Seeing that there is really no money to be made for this small official, he is very interested. 】

[However, by chance in the yamen, he discovered that being a litigator is actually very profitable, so he simply resigned and became a litigator. If you take part of it to bribe the county magistrate, won't you win the lawsuit? After doing this several times, I didn't expect this person to be famous. Gradually, rich people always seek him in lawsuits. 】

Yan Shu frowned and said, 【Then, what if those rich people don't take advantage of it? 】

The system snorted, 【He doesn't care if the rich take it or not, all he wants is money. Anyway, the sufferers afterwards would only scold the county magistrate for being greedy for money and discriminating between right and wrong, and they rarely scolded him. 】

Yan Shu immediately looked contemptuous, 【Cut, it turns out to be a utterly unconscionable thing! What a sage book I read in vain! Then, how did he manage to open the academy? 】

System, 【Later, the incumbent magistrate changed a few times, and finally came an honest and good official. This Liu Zhengxin heard the wind and knew that he couldn't get along in his job, so he changed jobs. At the beginning, he opened a private school, and later, relying on his ability to bluff and deceive, he got bigger and bigger, and opened an academy again. 】

Yan Shu was puzzled, "But the academy can't be opened casually, can it? If you want to be famous, you must have a good teacher, and the students you produce must have good grades. 】

The system, [or this person is a mess, he has saved a lot of money after so many years of unscrupulous lawsuits, and now he spends a lot of money to hire celebrities and go around to find good students. Are you up yet? 】

Yan Shu, [...tsk, it's strange that this person will compete with Ge Yuanhua for students, so that's how he came here. 】

In this way, the matter is temporarily clear, and Yan Shu asked curiously, 【Who wrote this report letter this time? 】

But he heard the system say, "It's Ji Yuanzhuo, a master of Jinling." 】

Yan Shu's eyes widened, 【What does this gentleman write a breaking news letter in such a good manner? 】

System, [Hey, Jinling is not far from Huai'an. This Liu Zhengxin is spending a lot of money to poach students. Over the years, he has poached students from several other families. Seeing good apprentices being lured away by money, can the master not be angry? what! Expose him face to face, and I'm afraid of appearing small-minded, so now that you've exposed Ge Yuanhua's old background, I hope to expose this person's face with you. 】

Well, Yan Shu understands.

A person like Liu Zhengxin, of course, can't be the head of Songhe Academy, but this is just the exposure of her script, it's not enough!

After all, Liu Zhengxin's bribery and lawsuits had happened many years ago, and he was far away from the capital, and there were no sufferers nearby. Even if she wrote it, others might not be able to guess who it was.

However, this bribery is a matter that violates the law. It may be more efficient if the emperor is not directly asked to take care of it.

So she handed the letter directly to Liandong, and said, "Send it to Qianming Palace to His Majesty, and say that I have confirmed it, and what is said here is true."

Liandong should be, and sent the letter to Qianming Palace.

Not long after, the emperor in Qianming Palace saw the revelation letter sent by his concubine Ai.

"..."

Why did this pop up again?

How did these scumbags get into their current status?

And even enter his Wenyuan Pavilion in a grand manner, and talk about morals with him? ? ?

In a fit of anger, Yu Wenlan immediately passed the letter to the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and handed over the letter to them for investigation.

No matter it was ten or twenty years, he would never let go of those who had treated the law as a trifling matter.

But fortunately, this Liu Zhengxin has always been mediocre, and he is not in his consideration of the candidate for the head of the mountain.

However…

What's going on with these one after another report letters?

Did they regard Young Master Xiaoyao as his Jin Yiwei of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

~~

Didn't expect that...it did.

A few days later, the king received another report letter from his concubine Aifei—

Lu Gaozhi, a famous scholar in Songshan, once used his status as a student to make money in the countryside, but was sued by the villagers in anger, and the upright county magistrate scolded him in court. But he felt humiliated, so he bribed the county magistrate's superiors to sue him for black, causing him to lose his official position in vain.

Yu Wenlan, "..."

I was so angry that of course I slapped the table!

Of course, after getting angry, he still asked someone to investigate on the spot. Fortunately, the place where this person committed the crime was not far from the capital, and it was verified within a few days.

He ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to work on the spot to investigate and question this person and the officials who had accepted bribes one by one.

In addition, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of posting posts to these famous Confucianists were scolded, and told them to see who they could invite to Beijing this time?

That night, Yu Wenlan came to Ganlu Hall.

Yan Shu ate melons for several days, knowing that the emperor had been quite angry these days, so she hurriedly served the fire-reducing tea.

"It's hot, Your Majesty, please drink some herbal tea to reduce the fire."

Yu Wenlan snorted, took the cup and drank it in one go.

Yanshu, "..."

But I saw that someone's face was still a little cold.

Yan Shu had no choice but to help him undress, and when he got on the couch, he tried to persuade him, "Since ancient times, there have been people with two faces everywhere. It is better to find them now than not to let them continue to harm the people's livelihood. Your Majesty really doesn't need to worry too much." Too angry, after all, you can't make bad people out of the world, can you?"

Yu Wenlan sighed.

Even though the truth was so, as a king, he still couldn't help but not get angry.

Seeing this situation, Yan Shu thought he was worried about the candidate for the head of Songhe Academy, so she comforted, "It doesn't matter, even if four unreliable ones go away, there are still a few left. Choose the right person to be the head of the mountain."

Cough, of course, no matter how much is left, she still thinks that only Grand Master Qi is the most suitable to be the head of the mountain.

After all, he has real talents and learning, and there is no problem in morality. The most important thing is that he has a good relationship with the Queen Mother.

If they can stay in the capital, even if they can't be together, it's better than being separated from each other if they hear news from each other from time to time and see each other occasionally.

Wuwu, thinking of this pair, makes her feel so sad that she wants to cry.

Yu Wenlan who was listening silently, "..."

This girl, who writes so many stories and eats so many melons every day, still has time to worry about others and shed tears...

Can't you think about him in your free time?

Just about to speak, she heard her say again, "Actually, the concubine has confirmed that the four most famous people are the safest ones this time, such as Mr. Ji from Jinling, Mr. Gu from Lanling, Mr. Yu from Nanyang, and Mr. Yu from Nanyang. Mr. Langya Qi..."

As she said that, she coughed deliberately, and then said, "I think Mr. Qi is really good. He speaks calmly and is personable. You can tell his background at a glance, and I heard that he was once an official to the University of Zhongji Palace. So, how can you Don't you know more about major affairs in the DPRK and China? I think he should be a very suitable candidate."

He looked at him again as he spoke, and asked expectantly, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Yu Wenlan was noncommittal, but said, "I heard that he has no intention of doing this, and he plans to go back to his hometown during this trip."

But Yan Shu said, "Then others have to go back, and others are dragging their families. Mr. Qi is alone, wouldn't it be more appropriate to stay?"

Yu Wenlan still didn't speak.

But he wondered in his heart, this Qi Shuguang has been homeless for so many years, could it be that he is still thinking about the Queen Mother?

Can a man really wait that long for an impossible woman?

He tried to think about it on himself.

If Yan Shu is not his woman...

No, it's impossible!

How did such a lovely girl fall into the hands of others?

He immediately stopped thinking about it, and directly pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Hmph, whoever he is, how can this moment of Spring Festival be wasted?

The sudden kiss made Yan Shu quite dizzy.

But she soon fell into it...

Ahem, I've been so focused on eating melons these days, I almost forgot that meat is also delicious.

hey-hey.

~~

The bed was lingering all night, and the next day, Yan Shu slept so comfortably that it was mid-sun.

After getting up and washing, Yoyo had eaten breakfast, and was thinking about what to have fun today, when Fu Hai sent her a letter again.

Tsk, it's probably due to the constant flow of new books recently, and the enthusiasm of the readers. The number of letters in the past few days has more than doubled compared to last month.

Of course, there is probably no shortage of people who wrote to her to report.

Yan Shu was looking forward to it, and hurried to read the letter after receiving it.

Seeing that I read more than a dozen letters in a row, they were all letters from ordinary readers.

Just when she was planning to go out to exercise, a letter she just opened surprised her.

This is exactly a report letter.

However, it was none other than her idol, Master Qi, who reported it!

The letter said that Xueshi Qi bought a concubine from a wealthy Fengqiu businessman two years ago.

Yan Shu, "???"

No, Bachelor Qi is obviously single! How can you buy a concubine?

She immediately called the system, 【All, what is going on with this letter? Are you falsely accusing me of being an idol? 】

The system said, 【It can't be regarded as a false accusation, Qi Shuguang did buy a concubine from a wealthy businessman in Fengqiu two years ago, but that concubine was the daughter of his old friend, and he didn't buy it out of lust. 】

Yan Shu hurriedly asked, 【What's going on, let's talk about it in detail, don't be tricky. 】

The system further explained, [Scholar Qi had a classmate in his early years, named Bi Zimo. When the two of them took the scientific examination together, Xueshi Qi won the second place and was admitted to the Hanlin Academy. This classmate Bi also won the exam and was assigned to Fengqiu as a small county magistrate. This classmate Bi was a good person, but his life was a bit short. He served in office for more than ten years, but unfortunately died in the local area, leaving behind a family of orphans and widows. 】

[Because Bi Zimo was also a clean and honest official, he couldn't save much money when he was in office, and his family has become more and more impoverished since then. His son is not very promising, and seeing that he is growing up, he can't even afford the money to marry a wife. 】

[However, this young girl from the Bi family is very iconic. She had just grown up and was taken by a wealthy local businessman in Fengqiu. The wealthy businessman discussed with Bi Zimo's son and offered five hundred taels of silver to buy the girl. Go to be a concubine. 】

Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help vomiting blood, 【What brother is this? Don't have money to marry a daughter-in-law and don't want to make money by yourself, so you actually sold your sister? 】

System, [Isn't it? Especially the rich businessman is nearly forty years old, and he is almost ready to be his father. The younger sister of the Bi family is definitely unwilling, but there is no way. After a while, it happens that Mr. Qi has something to do. After passing Fengqiu, I originally wanted to visit Bi's family, but I didn't expect to hear about this, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for my classmates. 】

[It just so happened that the girl from the Bi family heard that he was coming, and also tried to ask him to help her escape, so Mr. Qi went to discuss with the rich businessman. Originally thinking that Xiaozhi would use emotion to reason, but the other party asked him for 800 taels of silver, saying that as long as he could afford the 800 taels of silver, he would let the girl go free. 】

Yan Shu heard that she was about to vomit blood again, 【Eight hundred taels? This is a proper profiteer! WTF! Did Mr. Qi give it? 】

She was a little worried, after all, her idol didn't look that rich...

The system said yes, [Mr. Qi really doesn’t have that much money, but people need to be saved, so he scraped together and sold two sets of famous paintings of celebrities that he had collected in the early years, and finally got together 800 taels of silver. The girl from the Bi family bought it. 】

【However, after all, he was a big man alone. After buying, he entrusted the girl to a fellow villager who raised money together, and asked her wife to recognize Bi's girl as her daughter. After a while, the fellow villager helped to find a reliable man, and the girl was willing to remarry, so he married the goddaughter. It has been two years now, and the couple are reconciled and Meimei have given birth to a son and are living a good life. 】

Yan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help admiring, 【My idol's character is indeed right! 】

And in some respects, she is a bit like her wronged father.

But from this point of view, who is writing this letter?

Does this person know what happened? Or just scratch the surface?

What's the point of not saying the whole thing?

System, 【This letter was written by a professor of White Horse Academy named An Hongsheng. This person is not far from Fengqiu. He knew very well about Qi Xueshi's donation at that time. I'm writing this to you now because I'm not trying to ruin Mr. Qi's reputation. After all, at present, Mr. Qi seems to be the most suitable one to be the head of the mountain. 】

Yan Shu was furious when she heard the words, 【Since he knows about this, it's fine if he doesn't help, but he still intends to smear my idol? ? ? 】

Hmph, never forgive me lightly! !
