old friends return

Cheng Muzhi took the tea Liu Qingyan gave him slowly, paid more attention to the ivory dyed and carved bowl with peach bat pattern, carefully picked up the lid and took a sip of the tea foam, and then he was sweating profusely at the kneeling on the ground. The two under the rain spoke.

"Why do the two adults make such a grand ceremony? After all, they are also the parents of Cangzhou, so there is no need to care about it."

The county magistrate and supervisory order responded repeatedly, and stood up obediently, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Cheng Muzhi took it easy, "This ivory carved tureen is really pretty, and this Junshan silver needle is the best. It's rare in this palace. It shows that Cangzhou is indeed rich. The two adults have contributed."

"Plop--" With a sound, the body that hadn't stood still softened and knelt down again.

Neither the supervisor nor the county magistrate dared to raise their eyes to look at Cheng Muzhi. These words were all praises for them, but didn't they actually mean that they were corrupt?

The supervisor wiped his sweat and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I know I was wrong, I begged you to spare my life, I will change my mind in the future, and never do these things again. "

Seeing that the prison order had already admitted everything, the county magistrate panicked and kowtowed to Cheng Muzhi, but he couldn't say a word.

Liu Qingyan sat aside, looked at them coldly, and had to look at Cheng Muzhi a few more times. In the past three years, Mu Zhi has learned to put on airs like this.

With a light laugh, Cheng Muzhi turned his head and smiled at him, "I don't quite understand what these two adults mean, why don't the imperial envoys explain it for me?"

Liu Qingyan responded generously, "Your Highness has ordered you to obey your orders."

Where the supervisor and county magistrate could not see, Liu Qingyan pinched Cheng Muzhi's lower back severely. He had no intention of talking to these two scumbags.

When Cheng Muzhi continued to drink tea, his sleeves blocked the grin he just showed.

Liu Qingyan clasped his finger on the armrest next to the Eight Immortals Chair, "It is one crime to discord among the three officials, crowd out colleagues, and abuse power. Privately withholding official money, ineffective supervision, causing floods and hardships for the people, this is two crimes. No disaster relief , disregarding the common people, being crooked, colluding with foreign countries, these are the three crimes.”

"For the sake of selfish desires, abandoning the common people, refusing to report what they know, disregarding human life, and eventually causing a catastrophe, these are the four crimes."

After Liu Qingyan finished speaking, he looked at the two people crawling under him, with seven points of anger and three points of regret in his eyes, "The two adults were also born in Jinshi, top ten in the imperial examination, and they were among the dragons and phoenixes at the beginning, so they have a good future, why bother?" so?"

The prison order and county magistrate didn't know what to say.

"May I ask my lords, what should you do as an official?" Liu Qingyan asked in a deep voice.

"Enforce the law impartially, serve the people wholeheartedly, abandon selfish desires, act with integrity, stand up for life, and serve the country." The supervisor finally raised his head, looked directly into Liu Qingyan's eyes, and answered him word by word.

At this time, he really regretted the beginning. Liu Qingyan's words were like enlightenment. At the beginning, he fought hard for the road, and he was blinded by money and sent himself to the wrong road with his own hands.

He thought of his original ambitions and the teacher he had promised him back then, and he was so regretful that he wanted to kill himself and die.

Few things are more sad than remembering at the last moment that you have betrayed your beliefs with your own hands.

But what if he repents suddenly?Mistakes have been made.

Liu Qingyan looked at him, and finally all his words turned into a long sigh, "Then tell yourself, how should these crimes be dealt with?"

The county magistrate who had been silent all this time also spoke at this time, "Abusing power should be demoted to a third-level official position, embezzling officials should be dismissed and handed over to Dali Temple for investigation, colluding with foreign countries should be punished by car, and neglecting human life should be punished by Ling Chi."

Cheng Muzhi said at this time, "So you know it too."

He looked at the two kneeling people, and he didn't know what to say. They knew everything, but they still broke the law. At this moment, they all confessed their guilt, so what else did he need to say?

In the end, Cheng Muzhi said: "In that case, you will be punished another day. At the same time, all the official money you embezzled will be used for the construction of the dam in Cangzhou, and your own money will be used to comfort the people of Cangzhou. Is there any objection? "

"I plead guilty." Both of them kowtowed in unison.

Liu Qingyan: "Today we will do a little bit of planning, and we will set off tomorrow to return to Shengjing with us. In addition, bringing those assassins along with us will probably not end well."

"Yes." The county magistrate and prison magistrate slowly took off the black gauze cap on their heads, put it on the desk with care, and turned to leave.

Cheng Muzhi and Liu Qingyan looked at each other and smiled, the matter in Cangzhou was finally settled.

"Ayan, let's go." Cheng Muzhi walked up to him and held out his hand.

Liu Qingyan was puzzled, "Where are you going?"

"Go and drink the medicine." Cheng Muzhi showed him a beautiful smile, "Did you forget? It's noon now, and the ghost hand said, your medicine must be delivered on time, three times a day, you can't miss it."

Liu Qingyan put a bitter face on his face, and now he still feels sick thinking of the smell, so he just moaned in a muffled voice, "Well, I see."

"Hey, let's go shopping on the street after drinking the medicine." Cheng Muzhi took Liu Qingyan's little finger and shook it in a good mood, "Did you forget? I said at the beginning that I would bring you to Cangzhou Take it easy. Now you are going back to Shengjing tomorrow, if you don’t go today, when are you waiting?”

Liu Qingyan hurriedly broke away from his hand, "Your Highness! You are still in the yamen now, what a shame!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly said: "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, I'll be with you after I go back and drink the medicine."

Cheng Muzhi curled his lips, well, decent, decent.

Cangzhou is much better now than when they first came here, and there are many more shops on the street, and the people are no longer timid when looking at people, for fear that others will know something, and their relatives have also returned , no matter how you say it, it's already a great joy.

Liu Qingyan followed Cheng Muzhi all the way around, carrying all kinds of special snacks in his hands. Now that the two of them have put on makeup on their faces and changed into normal clothes, they are not afraid that others will recognize them.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Cheng Muzhi was reluctant to ask what he wanted to ask in the end.

It's really inappropriate to mention these things today, so let's do it first.

small theater:

In the evening, the inn, Tianzihao guest room.

Cheng Muzhi: "Ah Yan, how is it proper for a monarch and his ministers to behave like this?"

Liu Qingyan couldn't breathe unsteadily after being crushed under him, and finally couldn't say anything as she grabbed the sheet under her body with her fingers, only a few broken slaps came out.

Cheng Muzhi: "In the future, why don't you talk to me like this? Huh?"

Liu Qingyan: "Mu Zhi..."

Liu Qingyan didn't speak, and after finally calling him, the corners of his eyes turned red and he started dropping gold beans, so wronged that he couldn't be more ruthless.

Cheng Muzhi: "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, I'm out of order, I'm out of place..."
