Chapter 125 Heartbroken

Qi Yue shook his head: "I don't dislike you, but you are so weak now, how can you compete with your master?"

An Ze was stunned for a moment, and the next second a look of ecstasy flashed across his face.

She continued to coax him: "I will give you one year. As long as you can tie with your master in one year, I will take you."

"Now, be good and get off me."

The joy on his face did not fade, but he still acted aggrievedly and coquettishly: "But it's very uncomfortable... I don't want to soak in cold water anymore..."

"Just once, Master's Wife, can you please let me do it once?"

Qi Yue frowned and refused: "No, you haven't..."

Before she finished speaking, An Ze frowned again and quickly tapped her mute xue.

Qi Yue:!!!

I'm going to hit you, you crazy, stupid kid!

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether you do it early or late.

…

Finally, he couldn't help it and slapped him. Then he fell asleep peacefully holding her.

When it was light outside, he put on his clothes and climbed back to his room through the window.

Qi Junqi woke up early in the morning and saw a huge pile of evidence on the case. He was so angry that he almost overturned the case.

During the morning court session, a first-rank official and several third- and fourth-rank officials who were most guilty were sentenced on the spot. They were taken directly to the Tianlao and their property was searched. They were to be executed three days later, and the rest of their nine clans were all exiled.

For a time, the court was in a panic, and everyone kept their tails between their legs.

No one knows who has these hard evidences and how they were handed over to Qi Junqi's case.

The officials on the list who committed crimes accounted for nearly half of the number of officials in the court. This was also one of the reasons why the Dayi Dynasty was destroyed so quickly, as there were too many corrupt officials.

Fortunately, the autumn examination was held earlier, and new talents can be selected quickly to fill the vacancies.

Before that, these cancers can be slowly eradicated and officials who are not on the list can be promoted to fill the vacancies.

The Emperor of Li also gathered the 1.5 million taels of gold and sent them to Anye. After Lin Xu got the news, he sent people to transport the gold to Dayi Dynasty.

When he learned that Lin Xu had obtained 1.7 million taels of gold as a betrothal gift to Qi Yue, Wuming touched the only 20 taels of silver he had left on him and almost bit his teeth with hatred.

Shao Siyan's face was also extremely dark. He had never even thought of giving a betrothal gift. However, when he thought of his meager salary, his brows ached.

This won’t work. It looks like he’ll have to find a way to make some extra money.

When Qi Yue knew about this, he was extremely happy. He had originally thought about those disasters, which would cost a lot of money to prevent, and was just worrying about what to do for his brother, when this money was delivered to his door.

After hearing Lin say that it was the money sent by the old emperor of Li to buy his life, she became even more impolite in accepting it.

"Axu is so smart!"

Qi Yue hugged his neck and gave him a sweet kiss, then continued, "Ah Xu, if I give this money to my brother to help save the people of the world, would you be unwilling?"

Lin Xu hugged her and said solemnly: "I am lucky that the princess is so righteous. This money was taken from the people and should be used for the people."

Qi Yue: "But this is the money of the people of Li Kingdom, not the Great Yi Dynasty..."

Lin Xu: "No matter which country they are from, they are all the same. If one day the Great Yi Dynasty and the Li Kingdom go to war, I hope the princess can try her best to prevent the people of the Li Kingdom from suffering from the war."

Qi Yue: "This is not something you and I can stop, but I will try my best."

Lin Xu took the opportunity to seek benefits for himself: "Princess, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Shao Siyan and Wuming wanted to stop it, but they couldn't find a reason.

An Ze suddenly asked: "Master, when will you seriously teach us martial arts?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Lin Xu, especially Liang Mu and Liang Cen, with anticipation in their eyes.

Qi Yue also teased, "You should learn from your second brother. He said he would cure An Ze's eyes, and he kept his promise the next day."

Lin Xu looked at Shao Siyan's face, which seemed to be ten years younger than his own, and his expression became extremely ugly.

He lowered his voice and said, "Princess, can you let me be second? He looks too young. If I call him second brother, won't I lose face?"

Qi Yue smiled and reminded: "Although A Yan doesn't know martial arts and can't beat you, his medical and poison skills are very good. You have to respect him, otherwise you will suffer."

Shao Siyan calmly picked up a cup of tea and drank it, not even glancing at Lin Xu.

Lin Xu pointed at Wuming and said unwillingly: "Then he has to call me Third Brother!"

Qi Yue said meaningfully: "I can shout half of it."

Rinsu: ...

He felt that the princess' words were becoming more and more incomprehensible. So, he decided to go and give the naughty boy a lesson, which would also allow him to vent his anger.

"An Zeliangmu, get out here and practice martial arts!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Cen said excitedly, "Master, Master, what about me?"

Lin Xu softened his tone, squatted down and touched her head: "A Cen, just do the horse stance for one incense stick, don't get too tired."

Anze: ...

Liang Mu: ...

For the whole afternoon, Lin Xu had no idea what was wrong with An Ze. He was full of energy and even after dinner in the evening, he pestered him to continue practicing martial arts.

As the night grew darker, he lost his patience and kicked An Ze, telling him to go run ten laps around Kyoto City if he had too much free time.

When he finished bathing and entered Qi Yue's boudoir, she was already fast asleep.

Lin Xu was so angry. Although he could be gentler, he would not be able to enjoy it. If he disturbed the princess's good sleep, he would be punished and not be able to sleep on the bed for several days.

He could only sleep dryly all night holding the person in his arms.

The next morning, Qi Yue was still sleeping, and he got up with an unsatisfied look on his face.

He kicked down An Ze and Liang Mu's doors, dragged them out and continued practicing martial arts.

Liang Mu cried out in pain from the training, but An Ze gritted his teeth and persevered.

Lin Xu didn't expect that this kid could be so patient and resistant, so he couldn't help but teach him more seriously.

In less than half a month, An Ze made rapid progress and left Liang Mu far behind.

Seeing this, Liang Cen felt extremely disgusted with his own brother and kept praising An Ze.

Liang Mu: I feel so cold...

Qi Yue handed over almost all of the 1.7 million taels of gold to Qi Junqi, keeping only 10,000 taels.

With this gold, the national treasury was full, and Qi Junqi was able to clean up the court more vigorously. He also promoted many honest officials and made arrangements for the disasters that were about to occur in various places.

The corrupt officials have almost been cleared out.
