Chapter 681 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 36
The Emperor will likely only issue a warning in public. Although Prefect Lu and others will be dismissed and exiled, it will only be a way to make an example of them.
Those punishments probably wouldn't satisfy Master Jiang.
Xu Qingyuan parted his thin lips slightly and said confidently, "Master Jiang, rest assured, they will receive the punishment they deserve."
Many officials died suddenly during their exile.
It's perfectly normal for a few more to come.
Hearing him say that, Song Jinhuan felt much better.
They treat human life like dirt, and are corrupt and greedy. I hope they are all beheaded!
At the same time, Song Jinhuan also realized Xu Qingyuan's true purpose in coming to Anping County.
"Now that you have ascertained the truth, will you be setting off back to the capital?"
The desire to destroy the world is fifty-two, a little less than when it first arrived.
This speed is truly disheartening.
If the other party returns to Beijing, it will probably be even more difficult to get close to them in the future.
Xu Qingyuan glanced at her expression, trying to see if she was reluctant to part with him.
Oh, there really is.
I'm in a good mood.
"The magistrate appointed by the Emperor is on his way. I will set off as soon as he arrives."
Xu Qingyuan paused for a moment, then asked directly, "Does Master Jiang have any longing for the capital?"
Song Jinhuan was taken aback, and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Does Your Excellency mean that we should bring Yongshu along?"
Xu Qingyuan tapped the table lightly with his index finger, his clear voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension, and said with a faint smile, "If Master Jiang is willing..."
Without a second thought, Song Jinhuan replied with a beaming smile, "Of course I'm willing!"
The bright eyes of the young man in blue met the cool phoenix eyes of the man, and the smile in the depths of his eyes was reflected in the man's eyes.
Song Jinhuan immediately suppressed his smile and tried to put on a composed demeanor, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect and saying, "Now that Yongshu has no relatives left in the world and no more attachments, he is free to wander around and see whatever he wants."
"Being able to become a guest of the adults would also be a good choice."
Once she gets to the capital, her income will definitely increase!
Xu Qingyuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "In that case, you can press your handprint on it and form a contract with me."
Only a contract can give him peace of mind.
Song Jinhuan leaned closer and looked at each item one by one, her mind starting to itch.
"Sir, why does marriage require your consent?" This is a private matter!
Why put it up there!
Besides, the other party isn't her father, so what right does he have to make decisions?
"The forces in the capital are deeply entrenched, and my opposing faction will naturally take notice of you."
"What if they, like Prefect Lu, sent someone to use a honey trap on you?"
"If you take my advice, wouldn't I lose a powerful ally?"
Song Jinhuan suddenly realized that Xu Qingyuan had thought things through more deeply.
"Your Excellency is wise and discerning; I, a mediocre scholar, am ashamed of my inferiority."
Xu Qingyuan coughed twice and then said solemnly, "The terms in the contract have all been carefully considered by me. You may raise any questions you may have."
Song Jinhuan glanced at the dating section a couple more times, thinking it was probably similar to the reason for getting married.
She readily pressed her handprint down and bowed, saying, "I hope you will guide me for the rest of my life. If there is anything I lack, please point it out to me."
I hope I live to retire.
Xu Qingyuan folded the dish and put it into his bosom, pressing it against his front. He smiled broadly and said, "This evening, Shimanlou will be hosting a banquet. Will Master Jiang be coming?"
What a joke! How could she miss out on such a great opportunity!
Just thinking about Shi Man Lou made Song Jinhuan's mouth water uncontrollably. "Since you are hosting a banquet, I, Song Jinhuan, will naturally be happy to attend!"
