Bai Yan took the box and walked slowly towards Magistrate Qin. Magistrate Qin had a smile on his face, like a blooming sunflower.
There were countless sighs all around.
Bai Yan can be regarded as a capable person in Yanzhou City. He has accomplished so many great things in just a few months and is admired by countless people.
But now, he has to bow to power and even give up his career.
They didn't know, but they could imagine how much hard work Bai Yan had put in to establish the academy.
But once the free academy is opened, White Deer Academy will not be far away from bankruptcy. Even if it does not close down, it will never have the influence it has today.
Also, will Magistrate Qin only persecute this time? There will definitely be a next time, and it is hard to say whether Jinghao Bank can survive.
Many people felt sympathy for Bai Yan, and some noble ladies had tears in their eyes, feeling that Bai Yan was such a pitiful child.
Yes, how old is Bai Yan? He is under twenty years old and not yet married.
Some people also regretted that Qing Gong did not stand up to speak up for Bai Yan, and the relationship between the two was not good at all.
There are also people who are dissatisfied with the Qin Prefect. First they forced them to break off their engagement, and now they want to set up a college to target them and kill them all.
Is it really good for such a person to be the parent official of Yanzhou City? Many people are worried about the future.
Linghuye and others clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
They are such good friends, they drink and brag together all day long, and they often talk nonsense.
But today, they could only watch Bai Yan being humiliated, but there was nothing they could do.
Humiliation, anger, such emotions spread in my chest.
They want to break out and become stronger so that those disgusting people can no longer bully them.
Bai Yan didn't know that his casual words would actually change these playmates.
When he came back, he felt that everyone had changed and seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
He shook his confused head and said, "Brothers, I'm going back first. We have to get the restaurant out as soon as possible."
"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely build the restaurant." Xu Sang and others said through gritted teeth.
They no longer had any expectations and only felt infinite sadness. Bai Yan was so eager to build a restaurant, so he was giving up the academy.
Bai Yan didn't say it, but all of them could guess it.
Bai Yan didn't know what these people were thinking. He was happy today and drank a little more, but now he was completely confused.
After returning home, without taking a shower, Bai Yan fell on the bed and fell asleep.
This is the first time he has drunk so much wine in time.
As he left, the guests left one after another. Even some people who had good relations with Magistrate Qin were disdainful of Magistrate Qin's behavior and did not stay any longer.
Before the third watch, all the people were gone, leaving only a mess all over the ground.
"Father-in-law, everyone is gone. Haha, everyone is gone. There is not even anyone who is having fun in the wedding ceremony." Meng Yuan laughed loudly and breathed out the smell of alcohol.
"Just leave, what's the big deal? When my college is established, they will come back to curry favor with me." Qin Zhifu said nonchalantly.
Does he care about these people? He is a villain and wants to take revenge on Bai Yan. Even if he takes revenge, what can he do?
After so many years of hard work, he knows these people very well. As long as he can succeed, those people will be eager to come back and lick his smelly feet.
"Send the Number One Scholar into the bridal chamber, and you should go back and rest."
Magistrate Qin gave instructions and hurried back to his room.
As soon as he sat down, he opened the box in his arms.
There were several pieces of paper inside, which made him couldn't help but smile: "One is the house deed, and it seems that the others are banknotes. Bai Yan is much smarter than his father. He knows that going against the prefect will not end well. But if he
If you want to win me over with a little money, wouldn’t I be too cheap?”
He opened the first piece of paper, and as he expected, it was a house deed.
As expected, Bai Yan sent Qinyuan over without any tricks.
He placed the property deed and couldn't wait to get the second piece of paper to see how much it was.
But the moment he opened it, he was stunned.
It wasn't a banknote, it was more like a letter, which made him very unhappy, so he started reading it.
"I have specially ordered Zhenbei Hou Qingqing and Viscount Bai Yan to jointly supervise the construction of an arsenal to produce caltrops, repeating crossbows and other weapons. All craftsmen and soldiers must obey orders... This decree is a secret and must be kept secret. No one shall leak it.
, if anyone makes any inquiries and the information is leaked, the Yi tribe will be affected."
"I? This is your Majesty's secret order to Zhenbei Hou and Bai Yan? Qinyuan is used to build an arsenal?"
Magistrate Qin exclaimed and fell down from his chair, falling to the ground. The secret decree in his hand also fell to the ground.
In just an instant, Magistrate Qin was already sweating profusely and half sober.
This is a secret decree. Anyone who reads the secret decree will die.
As long as Bai Yan spoke to Qing Gong, Qing Gong would be able to lead his army in and massacre his entire family, which was also what he was told to do.
He finally understood why Bai Yan was so obedient today. It wasn't that Bai Yan had compromised, but that he was deliberately trying to frame him.
"Master, what happened? Why are you sitting on the ground?"
An aunt heard the sound and came.
"Who asked you to come in?" Magistrate Qin glared at his concubine angrily.
"Master, I heard the sound and came in." The concubine was startled and answered cautiously.
"Get out, get out right away." Qin Zhifu roared.
The aunt was frightened and left in a hurry.
After driving away his concubine, Magistrate Qin immediately closed the door tightly and read the secret decree repeatedly to make sure he had read it correctly.
He also calmed down little by little from his panic.
"His Majesty canonized Bai Yan, not just for his previous achievements. It seems that Bai Yan has attracted the attention of the emperor. And Qing Gong, he and Bai Yan have a very good relationship, but he just deliberately acted badly. In fact, it is a blind eye.
He might even be trying to lure me into a trap. But I really got in."
Thinking of this, Magistrate Qin hurriedly shouted: "Steward, are there troops coming outside?"
"No, sir, have you called the army? None of the generals came with their troops today. Only the Marquis of Zhenbei brought a team of personal guards. However, I also heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei also brought a group of personal guards.
A team went to Bai Yan's pharmacy area for medicinal herbs, but they have already left." the housekeeper responded.
"Leaved? Are you sure you left? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Qin Zhifu roared.
The housekeeper felt helpless. He had been busy all day today. How could he have time to pay attention to this?
Even my aunt was kicked out. I really don’t know what happened.
"Master, I'm not sure. I'm going to find someone to check."
"No, prepare the car immediately. I'm going to Baifu. No, Bai Yan is not in Baifu now, but at Bailu Academy. Go to Bailu Academy." Magistrate Qin urged.
There is no doubt that those troops have already sneaked into the city and may appear at any time to break in.
The only way at the moment is to return the secret decree to Yang Mo, in order to avoid the danger of annihilation, otherwise their family will be doomed.
