Chapter 73 Eating the melon and eating your own house



"Lord Yang?" A strange voice rang out, "This little bit of sincerity is not enough."

The tone was full of disdain, and the voice turned and said: "Your Highness took time out of his busy schedule to see you, not to see you fooling people."

"Your Highness, I... I dare not."

The latter spoke carefully, with a hint of fear: "This is all I can give."

"This opportunity is so hard to come by, Lord Yang, you should understand."

Someone has been speaking for the King of Ying, and his words are full of ridicule and sarcasm towards Lord Yang.

Jiang Ruohua's eyes turned slightly. The lights were on in the courtyard. It was a bit too open to stand up and peek. She leaned against the wall and continued to listen to the movements inside.

Lord Yang was silent for a long time, his attitude was particularly humble: "Then I will go back and try again. Please give me a few more days to prepare for my sincerity. I will not disappoint you again."

Listening to the conversation, Jiang Ruohua guessed that this was probably a bribery and a clique. When the princes reached a certain age, they would serve in the court. The ministers who wanted to curry favor with the powerful would definitely eye this opportunity. For the sake of power, they would find a prince to please them. Then they would wait for the princes to place their own people in important positions, and the people who liked them would be promoted and make money.

What a win-win situation.

The Jiang family has always been loyal and righteous. Soldiers are out in the field, fighting bravely to protect the country and their families. Her father always talks about loyalty and keeps it in mind. He works hard for the country and never covets a penny of military pay. She has also been greatly influenced by her father. She has always despised and hated such things as buying and selling official positions and collusion among officials!

She should not do her job, but which important position in the court is not related to the rise and fall of the country? It is not related to the safety of the people?

People who make profits from this are really hateful!

Very good, no matter who is in the body of King Ying, since this thing has been done, don't blame her for collecting the evidence!

Then there will be a few more by the way, and they will be solved together.

"Sir Yang, what do you have to make do with it?" That disdainful voice sounded again, "If it's really not possible, don't waste the prince's time."

"No, no, no, I dare not." Sir Yang's voice sounded very flustered, "Three days! I will definitely prepare it in three days. Well, it was really just an unintentional mistake before. I hope your Highness will consider my sincerity and give me a few days. I will definitely prepare the five thousand taels!"

Five thousand taels is by no means a small number in the Daqi Dynasty. If you don't have a family background, it is difficult to save so much money by being an official. The emperor has always hated corruption and abuse of power. Most officials may not be able to come up with these five thousand taels even if they sell everything in their homes.

Jiang Ruohua raised her eyes, it seems that this Lord Yang has been caught with some kind of handle, and now he wants to spend money to settle the matter.

I just don’t know what this King Ying will think.

[Aba Aba Aba Aba...]

Jiang Ruohua:?

"Your Highness, what do you think...?" The man with a disdainful tone in the middle turned to flatter the King Ying.

"Hmm?..." Luo Yu was stunned, and quickly nodded seriously, "Hmm..."

[Why the hell is it my turn to speak? What should I say? ]

(How about I prepare a microphone for you?)

[Stop talking nonsense! I am the worst at this kind of sudden situation! I am nervous! I am socially anxious! ]

Jiang Ruohua:...

What idiot?

She is eavesdropping here, and you tell her this?

Why not think about how to deal with Lord Yang, whether to accept the money, how to accept it, and how to use the bribery to take advantage of Lord Yang, and make her nervous?

Must she, who has never disdained these things, teach him how to do things?

Why is this monster so stupid?

The inner voice muttered for a long time, and finally considered whether to accept the money, and then thought about the words for a long time before speaking. From this mess of inner voices, Jiang Ruohua roughly understood what was going on.

This monster was not very clear whether he should do this, but he seemed to be trying to imitate the life of the dog man King Ying for some reason.

It was just that the replacement was very imperfect. Even if he was stupid for a while, he didn't ask questions with a sound of "Huh?" How much doubt would his subordinates have?

It's better to have no reaction at all, so that no one will suspect anything.

[Okay, let's leave it at that. We don't know if it's right or not. Ahhhh, I really can't do such a bad thing! Damn Luo Zhengyu! You are so conscienceless! In order not to ruin the plot, I have to do bad things for you! Damn it!]

[Wife... I really want my wife to heal me. I really want to be close to my wife. Damn the plot!]

Jiang Ruohua frowned. Why did he suddenly bring it up to her again?

It was as if everything this monster did was related to herself.

There were so many mysteries that Jiang Ruohua couldn't figure it out, nor could she understand those sentences that were put together and she couldn't understand them at all. She couldn't help but want to get in touch with this monster. She had to get close to it to have a chance to understand it.

After listening to the corner for a long time, my legs are a little numb. In addition to the other two people in the room negotiating the five thousand taels in an orderly manner, eight of the remaining ten sentences are the sound of the monster humming in his heart.

I don’t know what messy things are in his mind.

Anyway, there is nothing serious. The only thing related is that he complains about accepting bribes and affecting his sleep.

Jiang Ruohua thinks his voice is worthless, but she has to stay alert to listen to the conversation between the other two.

In addition to the deep hatred with King Ying, Jiang Ruohua thinks that she can control her emotions well at ordinary times, but only at this moment, she wants to rush in and slap the monster in the face.

Having heard a lot before her legs were numb from squatting, Jiang Ruohua left the room before the people in the room and hid in the dark. She remembered the two people who came out one after the other.

She was still wondering which Lord Yang it was. It turned out to be the Lord Yang who was barely related to her.

As for the one behind, she remembered that he was an aide to the King of Ying. He was quite capable. In her dream, he had been following the King of Ying to make plans. He was not a good person.

Lord Yang left in a hurry. After all, the five thousand taels of silver were pressing his life. Jiang Ruohua pursed her lips slightly. She suddenly thought of where this Lord Yang would go to get the five thousand taels of silver.

Her home.

This was unbearable.

There are many families with the surname Yang in Beijing, but if we have to talk about relatives, it is the third lady's mother's family.

Coincidentally, the Lord Yang who owed the King of Ying five thousand taels of silver is the third lady's brother.

The Yang family is not of high status, but there was an emperor's teacher in their ancestor. The descendants studied hard day and night, and most of them served as censors or worked in the Hanlin Academy. By the time of the third lady's generation, there is no outstanding man. It is all thanks to the merits of their ancestors that they can hold official positions from generation to generation.
