Although Deputy Envoy Song said this with a smile and lighthearted voice.

But after hearing this, Chen Que seemed to have been hit hard in his head, which made him unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

When he first entered the officialdom, he never expected that the lives of ordinary people would be so unworthy of mention in the eyes of his superiors.

"There are some people cleaning up here, so let's go to Guanyu Pavilion first. We have prepared a welcoming banquet for the public."

Kong Xigui said something at this time.

Another welcome banquet?

After hearing this, Chen Que couldn't help but think: "I have to carry my wife on her back and feel like she is outside?"

The sound of looms from the inner courtyard made him unable to do it. At this moment, he could follow these people calmly and then go to the jade pavilion to watch.

Deputy Envoy Song held his waist and waved his hand, "Watching Yu Pavilion is too vulgar! I'm tired of going there. There are other places here, so it's better to be more elegant! I heard that Ge Jun and the like are here, and she's on the island right now?"

"Yes!"

Kong Xigui smiled awkwardly and glanced at Chen Que with great distress.

Because everyone knows that Ge Nen is a famous prostitute, and the silver gifts given to him at the meeting cost 30,000 yuan in silver coins, and all of this money is paid from the county. Now the magistrate is Chen Que, so naturally Chen Que has to find a solution.

"Then go there."

Deputy Envoy Song said and left the door first.

Kong Xigui deliberately stayed here for a while, and then whispered to Chen Que: "As usual, I have to give 30,000 yuan of makeup silver to Liuxiangwu, and this is given to the county."

"Ah! But the warehouse has no money!"

Chen Que replied in surprise.

"I thought of this for you. I will borrow from Master Wu first. When the tax silver arrives, I will pay it back. Just make a payment. I will ask Master Wu to come. You only need to introduce Master Wu to Deputy Envoy Song, and then Master Wu will pay it out of his own pocket."

Kong Xigui said.

After hearing this, Chen Que clenched his fists, and couldn't help but look at the back of Deputy Envoy Song, and thought to himself: "It would be better to lend money to pension silver than to lend you a prostitute! That's a warrior who fought bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty!"

However, Chen Que now found that although he was a county magistrate, he could not make any decision at all and could only follow the trend.

So, Chen Que started to do it.

After the wealthy businessman Wu Sheng arrived and Chen Que introduced him to Deputy Envoy Song, Deputy Envoy Song understood it and did not expose it. He just nodded coldly.

After seeing the famous prostitute Ge Nen in Liuxiangwu, Chen Que discovered that Deputy Envoy Song and his superiors were surrounded by a flattering smile, showing their diligence to Ge Nen, constantly praising Ge Nen.

The famous prostitute Ge Nen was cold.

Only after Deputy Envoy Song took out a pearl worth a thousand gold, Ge Neng smiled, and Deputy Envoy Song also laughed: "It is said that a beauty smile is worth a thousand gold, this is true!"

"In the face of advocating ordinary military and civilians, they are willing to fall to the point of not treating themselves as human beings. How did the literati and official rituals be so corrupt!"

Chen Que couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

For a moment, it was not until Ge Nengtui said that he had left unwell, the deputy envoy of Song said the important matter: "Although the retired soldiers are gone, the court will still allocate their pensions. Let's divide it now. I heard that you, magistrate Chen, has a difficult family and has not yet settled any property. You can take 10% of the taxes in your county, but the taxes in your county still have to be taken away by the mansion, because the mansion still has to raise 500,000 yuan to Li Butang. As the eldest son of the emperor, we are all like Li Butang. We support the establishment of the eldest son as the crown prince, and we have already regarded the eldest son as the chief son. Therefore, we must first think about the interests of the eldest son in the future. You Chen is also recommended by the eldest son to Kashima. You are the eldest son of the emperor. Don't turn your elbows out. When you know that you should stand there, because you are just a first-time visit, I will say a few more words, but don't not understand the rules and say everything out!"

"Secretary Song is right. You, magistrate Chen, don't have to respect us. In the future, everyone is their own people. You should take care of each other and don't have to worry about the problem of deficits. The mansion has a letter of public letter to bring up the silver. Even if someone asks you in the future, you will just push it to the mansion. As for the 10% of the silver you share, it is the grace of the eldest son! Do you understand?"

Gao Chenshi followed and said.

"The official understands!"

Chen Que replied, but was shocked.

He didn't expect to do this, and he could use the pension as a vacant salary.

The key is that even a small county magistrate can earn more than 3,000 silver coins a year, which is several times his annual salary! Finally, he earns more than Xiao Linglong's sales, and more than his virtuous wife who manages the family!

Moreover, Chen has to admit that it is easy for him to get so much money every year.

At least Xiao Linglong has to earn 500 silver dollars in one night and has to sell himself. He just needs to shut up and don’t even have to worry about any consequences. Even if the investigation is made, the mansion will take the blame for him. He can directly push it to the top by relying on the official letter, saying that it was misappropriated, just like what Kong Xigui told him at the time.

And he can only be grateful to the eldest son of the emperor at most.

Even someone has promoted him in the future.

Because of his actions by Shangguan, he has become a party of the eldest son in a confused manner.

At this time, the famous prostitute Ge Nen came back and came to Chen Que and asked, "Are you the Magistrate Chen?"

“That’s right!”

Chen Que came to his senses because of the fragrance on his body and replied.

Ge Nen recited the poem Chen Que had written before and asked, "Is this what the county master wrote?"

Chen Que nodded: "Yes."

Ge Nen secretly sent Qiubo, saying, "I didn't expect the county magistrate to have such talent. I wonder if I can let my family polish the ink before the case?"

"This Ge Jun is indeed a talent-loving person and is well-known!"

"Minister Chen, you are more respectful than us today!"

Deputy Envoy Song and Chief Gao talked about this, and because Ge Nen seemed to have a good status, they were not jealous, and they were not even angry because Ge Nen ignored them.

But Chen did reply: "My wife is still there."

After hearing this, Ge Nen blushed, then covered her face and left here, and started crying, as if she was very pitiful.

"Xiaguan is not feeling well, so I'll say goodbye first."

Chen Que didn't know why this famous prostitute named Ge made such a gesture because of his words, but he really didn't want to stay here now, so he took this opportunity to say goodbye and leave here.

"I really don't know how to be polite! Our lady is Li Butang's confidante. Now she has made a fuss with you, but she doesn't appreciate it. She just waits to stay on this Japanese island for the rest of her life!"

After Chen Que came out, a maid on the upstairs started scolding him.

Chen Que couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself: "After all, I am a court official. Is a prostitute who is in contact with me? Is it a divorce?"

After leaving Liuxiangwu, Chen Que changed into casual clothes and wandered around the island.

The scene of the military and civilians causing trouble in the morning and being suddenly massacred was still lingering in his mind.

He wanted to learn more among these military and civilians.

After all, as a scholar-official who has accepted the national concept, he really cannot accept it. People from the same race can be so cruel to their compatriots and directly slaughtered them without any reason.

This is contrary to the holy will.

It doesn't fit his mind's philosophy.

But Chen was no longer ashamed and did not dare to wear official uniforms to meet the people, so he changed his clothes.

Chen Que had to admit that Kashima was indeed a prosperous place due to commercial development, and the shops along the wharf were lined up one after another, with many luxurious villas like Guanyuge and Liuxiangwu. However, because he naturally had a compassion, he still noticed the shack hidden outside the market.

"What, aren't you Japanese?"

Chen Que asked in shock the poor living in this dirty and smelly shack.
