The people who came to cause trouble were the parents of the family who had bought the official position before, so other people made way for them when they saw them and looked at them with gossip.

Yue Xian smiled and said, "Let's talk slowly, slowly."

As he spoke, he wanted to invite the person in and close the door, but the person didn't care and started shouting loudly while standing in the yard.

"What a bullshit Ping'an County, it would be better to call it Ping'an Village!"

"That's right! I went there with my son. There were only about a hundred people in the entire Ping'an County, and the Grand Commander's Mansion was just a shabby thatched hut!"

"The county government office is still leaking!"

"I have about ten people under my command, and all of them bought their positions!"

The people who were trying to buy an official position just now retreated one after another. What kind of a shitty official position is this? Even this requires a starting price of 50,000 taels. Isn't that a rip-off? Yue Xian's smile froze. He said why he had never heard of such a Ping'an County. It turned out to be such a shabby place!

"Well... everyone calm down, calm down. Although this place is small and the environment is simple, the official seal is real! The Grand Commander is a third-rank official and he should receive a monthly salary..." Yue Xian hurriedly argued.

"The monthly salary was paid, but it was all silk and fabric. They said that there was drought in the south and flood in the north this year, so they needed to transfer water from the south to the north. There was no cash!"

"That's right! Those fabrics are still at the bottom of the box. I estimate they have been there for more than ten years. I'm afraid they can't be sold!"

"My son said that the place is a day's drive from the capital, and there's nothing good to eat there. I've become skinny from hunger!"

They all thought being an official meant a life of luxury, but who would have thought it was like this, a life of suffering. And those people all held official seals, and if they left their posts without permission, they would definitely be punished severely.

You can't run away even if you want to! After hearing this, who would want to buy an official position from Yue Xian? Those people took a few steps back.

Yue Xian wanted to escape, but the troublemakers blocked him in the study.

"No! You have to return the money to us! And you have to find a way to get the children back!"

"I...I really can't retreat..."

"You took so much money from us, and you're selling us this kind of position. This is definitely not okay! Either return the money, or pay 100,000 taels for each leg. It's up to you!"

One leg costs 100,000 taels, so Yue would have to offer fifty legs to pay off the debt.

He hurriedly said, "I'm not the one who's slandering you! It's Su'er! Su'er from the Jingnan Palace! She must have been the one who did this!"

But would anyone believe him? Yuejian Academy and Baichuan Academy were obviously competitors, and the Regent and the King of Jingnan were obviously in the same boat. Could someone in his mansion collude with Yue Xian? No one cared whether Yue Xian was old or not, and they immediately came up and beat him up, but they didn't cripple him.

"Why don't you pay back the money? If you don't, I'll destroy your academy!"

"Oh my God! Even if you smash the academy into ashes, I won't have the money to pay you back! Most of the money was taken by others, and I only took a little bit, just a little bit!" Yue Xian couldn't help wailing.

"That's a point! Spit out the silver first!"

Yue Xian knew the difference between money and life, and he hurried to the secret compartment where he hid the banknotes.

As soon as the secret compartment was opened, Yue Xian couldn't breathe and fainted.

The secret compartment was empty. Not only were there no banknotes, there was not even a tael of silver.

Yue family.

Ever since Qiuyue entered the Yue family, Yue Hongcai has never left the house.

It is no exaggeration for Qiuyue, a little widow, to have become famous in Tongcheng.

During the day, she asked Yue Hongcai to play with her, and at night she played with Yue Hongcai, and she coaxed this little cutie around.

Zhao Qiucui was anxious but there was nothing she could do.

Who let Yue Hongcai's soul be seduced away by Qiuyue?

But Yue Hongcai went out that day because Qiuyue was unhappy. She said that she didn't give a betrothal gift or a sedan chair for the marriage, so Yue Hongcai disliked her.

Yue Hongcai actually didn't really dislike her. He just had a problem. He didn't like young girls and only liked young wives.

It's just that this sincerity needs to be shown.

So he went to the academy early in the morning before Yue Xian got up.

In fact, he admired his father very much. In just one month, he managed to make hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Really, he had to admire him so much!

When he threw a stack of banknotes in front of Qiuyue, Qiuyue's fox eyes narrowed into slits due to smiling.

"Here! I've already told you, if you follow me, you will have the best food and drink and live a life of wealth and glory!" Yue Hongcai said confidently.

Qiuyue naturally wanted to return the favor, so she leaned on his arms like a little bird and handed him a pill, "Dalang, take the medicine."

Yue Hongcai ate it with a smile. He was only thirteen years old and he had played a two-person game with the maid. His body had been hollowed out over the years. Qiuyue understood him and found this elixir. After taking it, he could recover his magical power...

But he didn't know that taking too much of this medicine would have side effects.

By the time he found out, he was already foaming at the mouth.

Qiuyue was frightened by him. Seeing him twitching, she thought that if the fat and strong Zhao Qiucui knew about this, she would definitely skin herself alive! She simply pocketed the dozens of taels of silver and slipped away quietly.

By the time Zhao Qiucui came, Yue Hongcai had already stood up.

But Qiuyue didn't walk far after taking the banknotes. When she ran to the street, she saw a large group of people gathered in front of the gate of Prince Jingnan's mansion. Isn't she Qiuyue's style?

The people gathered at the gate of Prince Jingnan's Mansion were shouting, saying that Su'er was a liar and demanding that Su'er be handed over.

Su'er did come out, but where was Cheng Shi, the prince of Jingnan, following behind him? How dare these people go up and capture Su'er? I had no choice but to argue with them.

"Yue Xian said that the officials in Ping'an County were sold by Miss Su'er! We must give us an explanation!"

"That's right! How can an official eat coarse food? We spent real money to let them enjoy life!"

"Give us back the silver! And give us back our son!"

"Give it back! Put it back!"

The crowd was noisy, but Su'er and Cheng Shi just looked at each other and neither of them spoke.

The door behind them creaked open, and a handsome man in a bright yellow dragon robe walked out. "Who is making trouble here and disturbing my sweet dream?"

It's no wonder that Chu Youyang spoke these few words with great dignity, not at all like his usual self, and immediately shocked the group of people.

A large group of people knelt down outside the Jingnan Palace, Qiuyue was among them.

But Qiuyue is a little different from others. Those people are all worried at this moment, but Qiuyue is very excited.

That handsome man was the emperor! She would never be able to see the emperor once in her life!

Qiuyue is famous in Tongcheng for her delicate body and good looks. If the emperor takes a fancy to her, she will be promoted to the top in one step! Chu Youyang pretended to be serious and said, "Let's talk. What are you arguing about here?"

Does anyone dare to speak out about buying an official position? Does anyone dare to speak out in front of the emperor?

Naturally, there was silence, but Qiuyue believed that she had nothing to do with this matter. In order to attract Chu Youyang's attention, she looked up and said, "Your Majesty! They said that Miss Su'er sold the official position to them, but the position did not suit her mind, so she came to refund the money!"
