"Only the second day after entering the mountains, you've already hunted down this evil beast and saved the people from dire straits. It's truly..."
Qin Songyin turned a deaf ear to Guo Chongliang's flattery and looked around the room before he saw Boss Ye sitting with the hunters and ordinary soldiers.
After Qin Songyin sat down, he said, "The emperor was very happy to hear that we had successfully hunted the tiger in less than two days, and everyone will receive a reward.
"Especially Ye Qingchen and Mu Zheng, the two main forces in hunting the tiger. Not only will the reward be doubled, but there will also be extra rewards!"
Guo Chongliang seemed to have just discovered that Boss Ye was not sitting at the main table, but so far away. He hurriedly stood up, kicked his servant on the leg, and cursed: "How did you arrange the seats? How could you let Master Ye sit so far away? Of course you should ask him to sit at the main table!"
The servant didn't dare to refute. He endured the pain and limped over to ask Boss Ye to sit at the main table.
When everyone saw Mu Zheng sitting at the main table and Boss Ye could only sit with everyone, they were already very unhappy.
Fortunately, Boss Ye himself didn't care about these things. Instead, he felt more comfortable with them.
When everyone heard Qin Songyin calling Boss Ye over, they were all excited for Boss Ye.
"Brother Ye, go quickly!"
"Master Qin is calling you, why don't you go over there quickly?"
Boss Ye was helpless, thinking that he had hidden at the very edge, so how could he be found so quickly?
Boss Ye didn't want to go at first, but when he saw the sweat rolling down the servant's forehead due to the pain, and everyone was cheering, his heart softened, and he stood up and followed the servant to the main table.
Boss Ye was about to sit below Mu Zheng, but Qin Songyin waved and arranged him on the other side of him.
Guo Chongliang saw that Qin Songyin had Mu Zheng on his left and Boss Ye on his right, and it was difficult for him to get closer, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Seeing that Boss Ye and Mu Zheng received the same treatment, there was a warm applause from the hunters and soldiers at the table.
Because everyone received a reward, naturally no one was so envious of what Boss Ye and Mu Zheng got.
After all, everyone knows that fighting the tiger mainly depends on these two people, and they are at best just making up the numbers.
At this time, sitting at the main table were not only Qin Songyin and Lord Guo, but also Wang Jianxin, the county magistrate of Fengle County, who was temporarily called by Guo Chongliang.
The reason why Wang Jianxin was qualified to be arranged at the main table was all due to the memorial he submitted.
While he was sitting at the main table feeling secretly proud of himself, he didn't know that at another table, there was a person who hated him to the core. This person was Zhan Changsheng, who had previously gone to Rongxi Village to check on the situation of wild boars disturbing the residents.
When he returned to Fengle County from Rongxi Village, he hurriedly started writing the memorial.
But he alone could not match the speed of Guo Chongliang's several advisors and staff, and was eventually overtaken by others.
What embarrassed Zhan Changsheng the most was that he had no idea that Wang Jianxin had submitted the memorial so quickly.
I thought I was the only one who came up with such a clever idea!
After he finished writing, he polished it slowly, copied it again, and only after confirming that it was correct did he seal it and hand it over.
After submitting the memorial, Zhan Changsheng had a beautiful dream that he would be highly valued by the emperor and rise to a high position.
But when he woke up, he didn't receive any praise or reward, and he didn't even see anyone coming to report the news.
He waited from that day till the next day, but instead of the meteoric rise and wealth he had dreamed of, he received the memorial he had submitted.
"The reply from the Secretariat is that you should not write memorials based on those submitted by others in the future..." The servants who came to return the memorials felt that these words were a bit harsh and did not dare to raise their heads when they said them.
"Someone else handed it to you? Who else has handed it to you?"
Zhan Changsheng was almost mad with rage. Who on earth had snatched away the Avenue to Heaven that originally belonged to him?
The boy who came to deliver the letter didn't dare to say this and turned around and ran away in fear.
Zhan Changsheng was so angry that he tore up the rejected memorial with his own hands and was unable to recover for several days.
Today he finally knew who was the mastermind behind this.
No wonder the captain's reaction was so strange, and no wonder the officer suddenly disappeared on horseback.
He was simply going back to tip off the news!
Zhan Changsheng was so angry that he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, which even the people sitting next to him could hear clearly.
"Are you hungry, Master Zhan? I'm afraid it will take a while for the food to be served. Please be careful not to break your teeth."
Zhan Changsheng had no time to pay attention to the voices around him, his eyes were fixed on Wang Jianxin's every move.
Qin Songyin first praised Mu Zheng and Boss Ye for not retreating when they encountered the tiger, but instead leading everyone to hunt and kill it, making a great contribution to the safety of the people around the capital.
Before he finished speaking, applause broke out.
But in Boss Ye's ears, the voices of the hunters and soldiers were the loudest.
Fortunately, Qin Songyin was not the kind of person who would talk endlessly. He quickly finished his speech and ordered the kitchen to serve the dishes.
What he did was actually a bit of a reversal of status, but Lord Guo did not feel angry. Instead, he was excited that he could sit at the same table with Qin Songyin to have dinner.
You know, although Guo Chongliang is the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, he is usually only qualified to deal with people of Mu Zheng's status. He has no chance to meet Qin Songyin at all. At most, he can see him from afar during the grand court meeting.
