Chapter 102 Li Yanting Supports
Li Yanting finally returned to the magistrate after a tiring day.
As soon as I entered, I heard such rebellious remarks.
Both parties were trying to show off their quick words, not caring at all that the words they said were enough to make them both lose their heads.
Li Yanting, as an official from the imperial court, was about to go out and shock the two of them, when he noticed that Qi Shaokang and Qin Guangqi were in the courtyard of Lin Xing's mother and son.
It was Lin Xing's son Zhao Jie who was having a fight with Qin Guangqi just now.
The balance in Li Yanting's heart was tilted.
But after all, he had already stood up, and he still had to show off.
Li Yanting cleared his throat and asked, "What's going on? Noisy ones, do you know that what you said is enough for His Majesty to punish you for the crime of disrespect?"
When Qin Guangqi and Qi Shaokang saw Li Yanting's appearance, they both lost their arrogance.
Hearing that his impulsive words could cause such trouble, Qi Shaokang stood up hurriedly, gave his chair to Li Yanting, stood aside with a smile and said: "Master Li, Qin Tong judged that he is still young and cannot speak with his brains."
, we all work together for the imperial court, if you do something wrong, please be considerate."
Li Yanting was too lazy to give him a look and snorted coldly: "Is being young the reason for saying the wrong thing?"
Qi Shaokang looked at Qin Guangqi, then at Li Yanting, and suddenly kicked Qin Guangqi's knees, violently forcing Qin Guangqi to kneel on the ground. He stretched out his hand and slapped Qin Guangqi on the face: "Master Li is absolutely right, you
I am twenty-four this year, am I still a three-year-old child? I speak so freely and offend His Majesty and the adults. How can you and I bear this? Are you wrong?"
Every time Qi Shaokang said a word, he would slap Qin Guangqi in the face.
The sound of "slap" was loud and loud.
Qi Shaokang was already obese. Not to mention his hand strength, just the fleshy hand coming towards him was enough to swell him for three or four days.
Before he finished speaking, Qin Guangqi's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and red blood flowed out of his nose.
He nodded repeatedly: "Sir, I was wrong, sir. I will definitely be cautious in my words and deeds in the future."
Qi Shaokang did not relax and asked again: "Have you longed for memory?"
Qin Guangqi said again: "You have a long memory, sir."
Li Yanting looked a little unbearable. He waved his hand and said, "That's it. You are really ruthless. After all, you are an official who works with you. Why do you need to be so forced?"
Qi Shaokang did not dare to refute, but lowered his head and said: "It's because Mr. Li has a good heart that he didn't punish us today. These slaps are nothing compared to the heads on our necks. Thank you Mr. Li for your advice. Just now
Lin's mother and son are also involved, I don't know what you want to do with them."
Qi Shaokang looked at the room with a sinister look. Lin Xing and Zhao Jie were standing at the door, and they saw Master Li who was only slightly blessed.
For someone who pays attention to etiquette like Mr. Li, the two of them will definitely have to walk around in pain!
Qi Shaokang and Qin Guangqi thought of something. Qin Guangqi raised the corner of his lips, but accidentally touched the wound. The pain made him suck in air.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanting just glanced behind the two of them, bowed to Lin Xing and said: "Mrs. Lin has been working hard in the refugee camp these days. Li believes that Mr. Zhao did not mean it. Mr. Zhao
He is still young, so I hope Mrs. Lin can teach me more."
Lin Xing nodded: "These are what civilian women should do. Mr. Li really doesn't need to be polite."
Qi Shaokang and Qin Guangqi:?
When they looked at Zhao Jie, who was taller than Lin Xing, their throats choked up and they were speechless for a moment.
"Master Li is here at the right time. The civilian woman just wants to ask you something." Lin Xing walked up to several people and said loudly.
Qi Shaokang and Qin Guangqi's hearts trembled, and they hurriedly winked at Lin Xing, but they didn't want her to take it for granted. They even turned their heads and said innocently: "Are you two adults feeling uncomfortable in your eyes? It seems that your symptoms are not serious, or...
Go to the medical hut as soon as possible to have a look."
Qi Shaokang and Qin Guangqi met Li Yanting's gaze, and they both looked to the ground with guilty conscience, pretending that nothing happened.
Li Yanting then looked at Lin Xing and said, "Mrs. Lin, please don't be polite. If you do this again, I will call you Female Bodhisattva."
Lin Xing chuckled: "Master Li was joking. Just now, the county magistrate and Li Tong came to our courtyard to ask for something from us..."
Qi Shaokang quickly interrupted the two of them: "It's getting late. Why don't Mrs. Lin and Mr. Li go back and rest as soon as possible? We have to help refugees and provide disaster relief tomorrow, but we must not waste time."
Li Yanting guessed the whole story and said displeasedly: "Master Qi, why are you so disrespectful? Is it common practice in your county to interrupt others when they are talking? Mrs. Lin is the savior of many refugees!"
Qi Shaokang wiped his cold sweat, then nodded and said: "Your Majesty is teaching me a lesson, I won't speak anymore."
Li Yanting looked at Lin Xing: "Madam, continue."
Lin Xing frowned and followed Qi Shaokang's example and counted in details: "The food expenses, the servants' expenses for sweeping the yard, the manpower expenses for serving porridge, and the magistrate's expenses for flattering us."
Every time Lin Xing counted one, Qi Shaokang's head lowered one point.
After saying these five words, "It's a penny to flatter a horse", Qi Shaokang wanted to get into the ground.
He clenched his fists with both hands, wishing to beat Qin Guangqi again. If it hadn't been for his bad idea just now, why would he be so humble in front of Li Yanting?
Now it is impossible for him to get out of office, and he may even lose his official position.
Qi Shaokang gritted his teeth.
Li Yanting asked: "Mr. Qi, is this possible?"
Qi Shaokang shook his head hurriedly: "Master Li, that's not what I meant. It's just because of the flood. As you know, our county magistrate's various expenditures have seriously exceeded the standard. Qin Tongpan and I are both upright officials. How can there be so many
Money supplies expenses?”
"In desperation, we can only reduce expenses. Mrs. Lin and Mr. Zhao may have been used to living a wealthy life before, and they are equally extravagant in my house. It's just that my little prefect can't afford it. With no choice, we can only
There are some extra charges.”
"How much is the extra you mentioned?" Li Yanting narrowed his eyes and asked.
Qi Shaokang and Qin Guangqi really didn't do any detailed calculations. They were only focused on the idea of killing them both, and they didn't give a reasonable cost.
Seeing Qi Shaokang and Qin Guangqi's hesitation, Lin Xing said understandingly: "Since Mr. Qi and Mr. Qin can't calculate the numbers clearly, let me just calculate the accounts for you. Don't say that we, mother and son, are bullying you.
The cost of wearing it is calculated according to our Zhao family."
Qi Shaokang didn't see what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Xing's gourd. He looked at Qin Guangqi, who just shook his head.
But the Zhao family is the richest man in Yuzhou City, and their food and clothing expenses are not much higher than those of these small-time officials?
