Chu Youyang raised the corners of his lips, "I see, but this position was not sold to them by Su'er."

"How is that possible?!" someone said angrily, "Yue Xian said it himself! He said he gave the banknote to Su'er!"

"Right, right, right! We spent tens of millions of taels, and ended up buying a fake official!"

"They colluded with each other to defraud money. Your Majesty, please see clearly!"

As he spoke, someone brought up Yue Xian, who was beaten like a pig. Although he was beaten badly, Yue Xian's legs were not broken, because no one wanted to spend 100,000 taels to buy a useless old leg.

Yue Xian barely opened his eyes and glared at Su'er, saying, "How dare you deceive us? You deserve to die!"

Chu Youyang looked at her calmly and smiled faintly, "She really didn't lie to you! She didn't sell the official position!"

The Emperor is shielding a criminal!

Their money is going to be wasted!

Twenty or so people exchanged glances, all feeling that the law could not punish everyone, so they all said, "Your Majesty, please understand!"

The street was blocked.

Qiuyue was very proud, and quietly took out the banknotes in her arms and said loudly: "I have evidence that Yue Xian sold the official position!"

Chu Youyang raised an eyebrow, "You say!"

Qiuyue took the opportunity to step forward and held up a stack of banknotes. "This was given to me by Yue Hongcai, the son of Yue Xian. He said that his father earned it. He must have gotten it by selling official positions!"

Chu Youyang winked at Yu Chuan beside him, and Yu Chuan went downstairs to get a stack of banknotes.

Yue Xian almost suffocated. If the money he earned with great efforts was spent by his own son, he would feel a little relieved. But who would have thought that his grandson actually gave the banknote to Qiuyue!

Unlike him, Chu Youyang grinned as he looked at the banknotes. Silver is needed everywhere now, and these banknotes are really a timely help! However, the people below are watching.

He handed the banknote to Yu Chuan to keep, and then asked sternly: "Did you fail to buy the official position you wanted to buy?"

Everyone's mouth twitched. They did buy it, and it was the third and fifth grades, not the seventh and ninth grades like before.

Can……

How could an official like that live in a leaky house, whose monthly salary is barely enough for food, and who has few subordinates, so he can't even embezzle some money if he wants to?

And I heard that the people in Ping'an County are very poor. If you want to get something from the hundreds of ordinary people, at most you can get some potatoes and sweet potatoes, nothing else...

Seeing that they were silent, Chu Youyang said again: "Isn't it enough to buy it? You eat the emperor's food and get the official salary, what else do you want?"

"But Ping'an County... is too poor!"

"Yes, yes, yes! And it's too small!"

"The salary is not in the form of silver or food, but in the form of old cloth..."

Chu Youyang cleared his throat and said with a smile: "This is the first time I see an official who has to choose his place. If you are not satisfied, I will remove them from office!"

They wanted their son to come back, but they also wanted the money back! If the emperor dismissed them, they would never have the chance to enter the government again...

"Are we going to retreat or not?" Chu Youyang asked.

No one said anything.

"If you don't want to, then let them be the princess!" Chu Youyang turned to look at Su'er, "Oh, right! Miss Su'er has found so many wise ministers for me, and I haven't rewarded her yet. Let's make her the Princess of Ping'an County!"

After hearing this, the people who were originally resentful felt much better.

If there was any good thing that could bring honor to the family, they would naturally want to enjoy it all alone, but in a poor place like Ping'an County, being the county lord was useless, so they were so busy gloating that they were not that angry at all.

Su'er was secretly happy.

It seems that working for the emperor is easier than working for the regent. She only cheated a few silver coins and the position of county lord belonged to her. She didn't care whether Ping'an County was poor or not. She just wanted an identity that could match Cheng Shi.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but there was one person who knelt on the ground without moving.

Chu Youyang remembered her. If she hadn't started the conversation just now, I'm afraid the case today would have been difficult to try! "Auntie, do you have any requests?" Chu Youyang asked kindly.

Qiuyue was stunned. Auntie? How could she be an auntie? She was only in her early twenties, how could she be an auntie? ! Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chu Youyang said, "You are very righteous and have handed over Yue Xian's illegal gains. I will give you a silk banner and write a letter to praise your loyalty and bravery!"

Qiuyue was anxious. She wanted a woolen banner! She wanted to accompany the king! She wanted to sleep with him! She wanted to be the king's woman, she wanted to fight her way through the harem, and she wanted to wear the queen's crown!

"Your Majesty!" Qiuyue looked at him pitifully, "I have offended the Yue family this time. They will definitely take revenge. You have to help me!"

Oh yes!

Chu Youyang suddenly remembered that if she was caught by the Yue family, she would be killed!

So he looked around and said, "How about this, you can work in the Jingnan Palace..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud shout, "I've only been gone for a few days! And you've already added someone to your life? And you're still talking about being together for life, I think you're just a liar!"

Following the sound, I saw Xue Jinrong leading a little girl of about eight or nine years old walking towards me.

Chu Youyang was instantly defeated, his dignity just now was gone, and he looked flattering, "No, no, no! You don't know, she just helped me a favor, so I arranged a job for her, no other intention."

Xue Jinrong looked at Qiuyue several times and asked coldly: "What's your name? Where are you from? What do you do?"

Qiuyue could tell at a glance that Chu Youyang was henpecked, and could tell with two eyes that Xue Jinrong was the real queen. She was just a commoner now, and was still a long way from the position of queen, so she could only endure it for the time being.

"Your Majesty! I am from Tongcheng, my name is Qiuyue, and my family makes tofu!"

"No one's home?!" Xue Jinrong said in a bad tone.

Qiuyue wiped her eyes and said, "I am the only one left..."

Xue Jinrong is not a heartless person, but the Prince of Jingnan's Mansion is not actually their territory!

She rolled her eyes and said, "How about this, you go to work in the Regent's Palace first, and I'll give you the monthly salary. Those two children love to eat tofu. Perfect!"

Qiuyue nodded in agreement. To her, all princes had big thick legs, so it didn't matter who she hugged.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily. Xue Jinrong led the girl beside him towards Chu Youyang. "This is Liuying. I met her on the road. She said she was going to the capital. I saw that she was the only one, so I let her go with me."

Liuying has a pair of lively fox eyes on her clean face. Unlike Qiuyue's, these eyes are free of any worldly air and instead seem crystal clear.

But Chu Youyang always felt as if he had seen fireflies somewhere.

He didn't have time to think about it, because Cheng Shi came up to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for conferring the title of Princess Su'er. My father won't object this time!"

"In order to avoid his objection, I will grant you marriage right now!" Chu Youyang said with full ambition.

He didn't think this was a bad couple. He just hoped that Cheng Shi would get married soon and stop thinking about Su Bei!

It would be best if we could get married and enter the bridal chamber today!

Su'er and Cheng Shi were extremely grateful to him.

"Your Majesty's wisdom is unmatched!" Su'er praised, "Not only did he make those people pay money, but he also made them suffer a loss without saying anything! I think Wu Kingdom will become more and more prosperous in the future with an emperor like you!"

Chu Youyang felt a little dizzy.

For the first time, he discovered that he was not without the ability to be an emperor, and that he could be a pretty good emperor!

"Yu Chuan, pass on the order!"
