Chapter 56 Give Me Silver

Guan Jugong, Xia Chen, who was half asleep and half awake on the table, suddenly sneezed. He looked up and saw Xia Xin pouted and put his hands on his waist angrily: "Brother, have you listened to others?"

"Yes, yes, my brother has been listening to Xin'er." Xia Chen held his chin in his hands as if I was the most serious listener.

"Well, my brother is sleeping again, and my heart will never pay attention to you anymore." Thirteen-year-old Xia Xin raised her chin and turned her face to one side.

"Heart, if you ignore your brother, no one will pay attention to your brother. Your brother will be very pitiful."

"Then listen carefully. They told you for an hour, but you slept a lot. It's too faceless." Xia Xin turned around and sighed, "Oh, brother, you are always like this. No girl will like you in the future."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I have Xia Xin." Xia Chen shook his head and smiled gently.

"But...but..." Xia Xin lowered her eyes and dodged her words.

"But what?"

Xia Xin suddenly made a grimace about Xia Chen: "They won't tell you." After saying that, he ran out happily.

But that kind of joy did not last long. Walking out of Guanjiu Palace, Xia Xin looked at the sky with desolate eyes.

Poor born in the imperial family. Although she is only 13 years old, Xia Xin has long understood that she can't choose the person she likes like an ordinary girl, and she can't always be with her brother who always smiles gently at her.

Whenever she thinks that she will marry someone she doesn't like because of political power in the future, Xia Xin will feel sad. Of course, what makes her more painful is that once she marries someone else, she has to separate from Xia Chen. She can no longer often see her brother's gentle smile and can no longer secretly draw a beard on her face while her brother is asleep. At the same time, no one protects the confused brother who seems to never wake up.

"Who provoked our ninth princess? Why do you look aggrieved?"

"Huh? Ouyang, are you here to find your brother? Xia Xin reluctantly showed a cheerful smile and tried to calm down her sad emotions.

Ouyang Wan patted Xia Xin's head: "I want to call you Brother Ouyang."

"No, just call it Ouyang."

"Oh, what a stubborn little boy." Ouyang Wan shook his head helplessly and took out a delicate glazed rabbit from his sleeve. "I originally wanted to give this to the ninth princess, but the ninth princess refused to even call her brother, so I can only give her to other little princesses."

"What a beautiful glazed rabbit." Xiaxin's eyes have long been attracted by the glazed rabbit in Ouyang Wan's hand shining in the sun. "Ouyang, give me this rabbit."

"Yes, but Jiu Gong mainly calls him Brother Ouyang."

"No."

"Then I'll give the rabbit to someone else." Ouyang Wan put the glazed rabbit back into his sleeve. Xia Xin didn't care whether Ouyang Wan wanted to give the rabbit to her, and directly tiptoed to take the rabbit away from Ouyang Wan's hand.

"Haha, I robbed it." Holding it in the palm of his hand like a treasure, Xia Xin said with a smile, "I don't like rabbits. Ouyang will bring a tiger next time." After saying that, he ran away.

As soon as he entered the room, Ouyang Wan saw Xia Chen lying on the table, staring at a certain point in the air.

"I'm so angry. One is busy talking about love, and the other is busy sleeping in the daytime. Wake me up." Ouyang Wan quickly walked to the table and slapped the table hard.

Xia Chen, who was sleepwalking, was immediately awakened. When he looked around and found that the house had not collapsed, he fell on the table and closed his eyes to go to bed.

"Hey, get up."

Huh? Ouyang? When did you come?" Xia Chen opened his eyes and gave a big breath, "What can I do for you?"

"I'll buy you a drink."

"Ah...drink...someday, I want to sleep today."

"Get up, and you will become a pig if you sleep again." Ouyang Wan bypassed the table and dragged Xia Chen up directly from the chair regardless of his status. "No, pigs can't sleep as much as you."

"Don't pull it, I'll get up by myself."

Ouyang Wan did not let go. He knew that once he let go of Xia Chen, he would definitely jump directly to the bed. At that time, even nine cows could not pull him up: "I won't be fooled. You just die. If I don't pull you out of the palace today, I will never let go."

"Outside the palace? Didn't you drink? Why do you want to leave the palace?

"What good wine can you have in the palace? Let's go. I'll take you to the Centennial House for a drink."

"The hundred-year-old wine is very expensive. Do you have to go there to drink it?"

"You get what you pay for. Of course, you have to go to Centennial House to drink this drink. Let's go, let's go. By the way, does His Royal Highness have any silver on his body?

"There are 500 taels of silver tickets, what?"

"It's okay. Just ask. Let's go and drink." Ouyang said with a smile.

I don't know why, Xia Chen felt that Ouyang Wanxiao was very treacherous, and then said, "You invited me to drink, not me to treat you."

Ouyang Wan nodded vibly: "Of course, I'll treat you to a drink. Don't worry, I won't poison the wine."

Although Ouyang Wan said so, Xia Chen still felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he didn't know what was wrong, so he could only follow Ouyang Wan to the Centennial House for a drink in a daze.

The small building of the procuratorate.

Ke Chengyang looked at Liu Ye with a pale face.

The cause of the matter was very simple. Ke Chengyang wanted to adjust the confession of the people present at Yiyunshan, but Liuye had to collect ten taels of silver to allow him to enter. Although there is a director of the Supervision Institute, the dean who sees the lasts can almost be said to be a non-existent guy except for entrusting people to bring a large bill every month, and Wu Yong is either reading a book or holding a teacup every day. So much so that the whole supervisory court can be said to be completely responsible by Ke Chengyang alone, which means that the real power of the supervisory court is actually in his hands.

Although the official rank is not high, even if the princes and nobles or the prime ministers of the imperial court meet him, they still have to give him three points of thin noodles, but now Liu Ye, who does not eat soft and hard, has consumed him, and he will resolutely not let him enter without giving him money.

"If you make way again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Give the silver and let you in."

"You... I'm the imperial historian on the left. It's a natural thing to look at the file. How dare you register? Who gave you the power?

"The emperor said, I can cash out." Liu Ye said, "When Lord Mei came yesterday, I received fifty taels of silver from him. Lord Ke, I only received ten taels of silver from you. The price is very fair."

Huh? Are you talking about Mei Nianfa from the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

"Yes."

Ke Chengyang frowned slightly. Although nominally, only the people of the Supervision Institute can adjust the files, because the Supervision Institute, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Taichang Temple are closely related, he also acquiesced that the Ministry of Justice and the customers of Taichang Temple can adjust the files they need from each other. However, most of the time, the Supervision Institute went to check the records of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has hardly transferred the records of the Inspectorate.

"Did Mei Nian look at that file?"

"I don't know, I can't stay by his side and look at him."

"Did he say anything else?"

"Give me the money and I'll tell you."

Ke Chengyang's forehead was bursting with blue veins, but after all, he had a request for others, so he could only obediently take out a ten taels of silver ticket from his sleeve and gave it to Liu Ye: "Can you say it now?"

"Lord Mei said, you slave, get me out. Then I stood outside and waited for Lord Mei to come out.

"You're kidding me, aren't you?" Ke Chengyang suppressed his anger.

"No, Lord Mei did only say those words, but Lord Mei looked very strange after reading the file and kept shaking his head.

"Shaking your head all the time?"

"Yes, it's like I saw something I can't believe, that's all. Lord Ke, aren't you going to go in and read the file? Please." Liu Ye stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve and said obediently.

"Fifty taels of silver is too little. Next time Mei Nianfa comes back, ask him for 500 taels of silver." Ke Chengyang left a cold sentence and walked into the file room.

For a long time, Liu Ye tilted his head slightly and said to himself, "Will 500 taels of silver be too much? There should be no oil and water in the Ministry of Justice. Forget it, next time I ask him for 490 taels of silver."
