Chapter 135 My Dad is Still in Jail
"Greetings, Lord Liu." Xia Qingqing bowed slightly and said, "I wonder how much Lord Liu knows about what just happened. I will report everything to you."
Wang Pingzhi, who was in the distance, hurried forward, knelt on the ground, and sighed to the sky: "Master Liu, I have a grievance to redress."
"Oh?" Liu Yicha raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Pingzhi. Before he could say anything, the people in the crowd couldn't help but speak.
At this time, Shen Daniu shouted loudly: "You still have grievances to seek redress? We are the ones who want to seek redress, okay!"
"We have already donated silver, and you, the county magistrate, forced us to give 10,000 taels. If we don't, you will arrest us. You even took Xia Lichang away."
"Master Liu, you can't be so harsh!" Shen Daniu said a lot, and Wang Pingzhi beside him said angrily: "You are a big fool, talking nonsense!"
He turned to look at Liu Yicha and said, "I came to Qinghe Town and found some accounting problems, so I took advantage of this natural disaster to make up an excuse to investigate their accounts!"
"I discovered that their coal mine shipped out a lot of coal some time ago, but the silver was not returned. I suspect they exchanged the silver for bribes to Liang Qingshan."
After Wang Pingzhi finished speaking, Taohua immediately stood up and said, "Master Liu, this person is talking nonsense. I am in charge of all the finances. There is no way there is a bribery problem."
"Humph!" Wang Pingzhi immediately stood up and pointed at Taohua, saying, "Then tell me where all that coal that was shipped out a while ago went?"
"Especially during Xia Qingqing's absence this time, didn't she go out to bribe people?"
Taohua's words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak.
At this time, Xia Qingqing burst into laughter, looked at Wang Pingzhi as if he were a fool, and said, "When was it your turn to check my accounts?"
"Besides, why should I tell you my whereabouts? You have no evidence and you falsely accuse me and Lord Liang of bribery. You will go to jail."
Xia Qingqing walked slowly to Wang Pingzhi's side and asked, "Did you spend your time as county magistrate investigating household accounting issues? I'm confused. Why do you always care about how much money other people have in their pockets? Do you want to embezzle their money?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Pingzhi shouted in frustration. "You're framing me!"
Liu Yicha was extremely disappointed with Wang Pingzhi. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of a fast horse coming. He looked and saw that it was an express horse of 800 miles.
"Report! Report! Report!"
The sound was getting closer. The officer glanced at the crowd and before he could say anything, Wang Pingzhi stepped forward and said, "What happened? Why do you need to rush it for 800 miles?"
"Are you Wang Pingzhi, the county magistrate of Qinghe Town?" the officer asked with a bow.
Wang Pingzhi immediately returned the greeting and said, "It is me."
"Excellent," the soldier said, pushing away Wang Pingzhi's hand that was about to take the letter. "Please, Lord Wang, tell me who this is, Xia Qingqing? His Majesty has a decree."
"what!"
Wang Pingzhi didn't believe it and quickly continued to ask, "Is it a decree for Xia Qingqing?"
The officer nodded, turned around and knelt beside the governor Liu Yicha, and asked, "Greetings, Lord Liu, I wonder if Lord Liu is here and asks for forgiveness."
"No problem, read your order," Liu Yicha pointed and said, "This is Xia Qingqing you are looking for."
The officer took a look, eyes filled with admiration. He opened the brocade box in his hand, took out the imperial edict, and read: "I am deeply pleased to hear what Lord Fan said. In the war against the country, Miss Qingqing provided a large amount of coal for our Great Xia soldiers without asking for money, adding a ray of hope to the victory. Now, I specially grant you the title of 'Lady Protector of the Country' and enjoy the honor of a county lady. I decree this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xia Qingqing received the imperial edict, and the soldier finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "His Majesty has another oral order. At the beginning of next month, 100,000 soldiers will return to the capital. His Majesty will hold a state banquet to reward the soldiers of the three armies. Madam Xia, please join us. The rewards for you will be delivered to us at that time."
"Yes."
After seeing off the officers and soldiers, Xia Qingqing was still a little confused. How did she become the lady who protected the country?
The others were completely blank-minded, as it was the first time they had seen an imperial edict.
Wang Pingzhi was completely dumbfounded. He said excitedly, "Xia Qingqing, you actually sent all that coal to the border!"
"What do you think?" Xia Qingqing sneered, "If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. Wang Pingzhi, you're done."
"Impossible! Impossible!" Wang Pingzhi was a little crazy. Just as he was about to run away, he was caught by Liu Yicha's men.
"Take them all away!" After Liu Yicha said that, the yamen runners put down their weapons and were taken over by Liu Yicha's men.
"Madam Protector of the Nation, well done." Liu Yicha had not expected Xia Qingqing to have such a broad mind, and he admired her even more. He said, "You have just returned today, so take a good rest. However, you have to go to the government office tomorrow, and you still have some questions to ask."
"That's natural."
Liu Yicha had just walked to the carriage when he turned around and walked back. He bowed to Shen Yue and said, "Master Shen, it's been many years since we last met. Could it be that you recognize me as your student?"
Shen Yue's eyes flickered. Huo Shuang'er beside him tugged at Liu Yicha's sleeve and asked crisply, "Uncle, are you also the teacher's student?"
"Of course," Liu Yicha lowered his head and touched the child's head, saying, "He is the Master's student just like you."
"Then why do you call him Taifu instead of Master?"
This?
This question stumped Liu Yicha, but after glancing at the people around him, he explained seriously, "Teacher Shen has another student, the current Crown Prince."
"Oh, I see. Thank you, uncle." Huo Shuang'er turned around and said to the group of children, "Did you hear that? The Grand Tutor means that he also taught the Crown Prince!"
Your Royal Highness?
Little Huo Shuang'er was suddenly stunned, staring at each other with the other children, at a loss as to what to do.
"It's all fleeting. Back then," Shen Yue seemed to have something stuck in his throat, but he finally changed the subject and asked, "Do you have any wine?"
"Of course."
Liu Yicha laughed, stepped forward to help Shen Yue get on the carriage and left.
After they left, Shen Daniu finally realized what was happening and said, "A sour scholar is actually the prince's teacher. Oh my god!"
"I have to talk to my dad about this when I get home today!" Shen Erniu was also puzzled as to why the people around him were so powerful.
Shen Yue, a seemingly depressed and frustrated scholar, is actually the prince's tutor!
Xia Qingqing was once a little fisher girl on the seashore, but now she has transformed into a lady who protects the country!
Why are all the people around here outstanding? Why can't there be one more like him?
Shen Erniu started laughing as he thought about it. At this time, the villagers also cheered. Only Xia Tiezhu was shocked and shouted, "Oh my God! My father is still in prison!"
