Faced with his daughter's disobedience, Magistrate Qin was not angry.
He was worried about how to break off the engagement. If his daughter could marry the God of Fire, then there would be a legitimate reason.
As for the strange name of the Flame God, what does it matter?
"Mo'er, you said you had an agreement with Yan Sheng, how can you prove it? If it's just a name, it's not convincing." Qin Zhifu looked at Qin Mo Sheng expectantly.
"Of course I can prove that this is the love token given to me by the Flame God. The Flame God said that he will come back to me and marry me."
Qin Mo Sheng took out the necklace again.
After observing it for a while, Magistrate Qin felt very happy.
Even he couldn't tell what material it was made of, it was absolutely extraordinary.
After looking at it, he handed the necklace to Bai Jinghao. After looking at it, Bai Jinghao's heart sank.
In the palace back then, although he was just a domestic slave, he had seen many precious weapons, and he still had good eyesight. This could definitely be made from ordinary iron and bronze.
Is this really a token of love given to Qin Mosheng by the God of Flame? At this moment, Bai Jinghao couldn't help but become suspicious.
"Brother Bai, you have also seen that my daughter and Yan Shen have an agreement, and I am helpless. The engagement between my daughter and my nephew can only be cancelled. But Brother Bai, don't worry, this will not affect the relationship between our two families.
." Magistrate Qin made a helpless expression.
Bai Jinghao couldn't give up and said loudly: "It's hard to say whether the Flame God exists. Even if the Flame God really has an agreement with Miss Qin, my son and Miss Qin's marriage contract comes first. Even if the Flame God is a god, he can't
The reason for robbing someone else’s wife..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Magistrate Qin: "Brother Bai, be careful. Your Majesty saw the White God with your own eyes that day. How could the White God not exist? Brother Bai's words are an offense to the God of Fire and he will be beheaded."
.As for robbing other people’s wives? Gods have their own laws, so naturally they don’t need to abide by my mortal laws.”
"Are you scaring me?" Bai Jinghao retorted.
"Brother Bai, this is not to scare you, it is a fact. Your Majesty has just issued an edict. Everyone respects the God of Fire. Anyone who disrespects him will be beheaded. If Brother Bai insists on insisting, then I can only report it to Your Majesty.
, please come and make a decision, Your Majesty." Qin Zhifu said with confidence.
The necklace in his hand is enough. As long as the emperor believes it, he is the father-in-law of the God of Fire, and his rise to greatness is just around the corner.
Bai Jinghao was so angry that he was shaking all over. He also knew that once the report was reported, this engagement would be completely ruined.
Bai Yan glanced at his father distressedly and said, "Uncle Qin, Yan Shen is not named Shui, let alone Water Cup Cover. If you report it, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor. I'm afraid you cannot afford this crime."
"Bai Yan, do you know the God of Fire better than me? I have already said that I will not marry you, so please stop pestering me shamelessly." Qin Mo Sheng sneered.
She didn't believe Bai Yan's words, she just felt that Bai Yan was too shameless and insisted on pestering her shamelessly.
"If you want to break off the engagement, I have no objection. I'm just giving you a piece of advice. It's up to you to believe it or not." Bai Yan responded.
"As long as you agree, everyone will have less trouble." Qin Mosheng smiled proudly.
Magistrate Qin also nodded with satisfaction: "Bai Yan, uncle has always been optimistic about you, but the matter of Yan Shen is not something I can decide. Let's do this, in three days, I will hold a banquet at home to entertain all the guests.
.When the time comes, I hope you will take the initiative to break off the engagement, so that you can maintain your face. Bai Yan, you are getting older, and your uncle will not treat you badly. I will find a job in the government to give you something to do.
Do."
Hearing this, Qin Mosheng looked at his father with admiration. These words made it difficult for people to refuse.
The prefect of Qin was also full of confidence. Bai Jinghao wanted Bai Yan to pursue an official career, but Bai Yan was ignorant and had no skills, so there was no chance of him taking the imperial examination.
It is even more impossible to serve as a soldier and gain military glory.
Being recommended and supported by others is the only way. The goal is achieved and the favor is done. Not only will Bai Jinghao not resent him, but he will continue to fawn over him. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.
Bai Jinghao also fainted instantly. The temptation was too great.
Although I felt very aggrieved, I was also in a dilemma at this moment.
"Thank you uncle for your kindness. It's just that Bai Yan is used to being idle and doesn't want to pursue an official career. As for you guys wanting to break off the engagement, I don't have any objection. Just come to your door to break off the engagement. But if we take the initiative to speak out, let my father bear the reputation of treachery. I don't want to
Agree." Bai Yan spoke firmly.
They took the initiative to break off the engagement, and the reputation of him and his father would be damaged, and it would even affect the family's business. Today, his father has endured humiliation for him, how could he bear to let his father continue to bow his head completely?
If it were anyone else, he might agree, but he really doesn't want to pursue an official career. What's more, what if he embarks on an official career? If Qin Zhifu can't tolerate him, he can still find any excuse to kick him out.
Magistrate Qin was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly: "My dear nephew, you don't seem to understand what it means to be an official."
"Uncle Qin has been an official for many years, do you understand? There are countless people who have been greedy and have ended up good, and there have been many people who have failed in their great achievements. Do you understand the meaning of this?"
Bai Yan turned to Bai Jinghao and said, "Father, let's go back. If I don't agree, no one can force me."
After saying that, Bai Yan pulled Bai Jinghao, who was still stunned, out and went straight to the carriage.
Many people outside the door saw the father and son coming out, and they all came forward to find out. But before they could get close, the servant left with the carriage.
He left with ten cartloads of goods.
"Even the goods were taken away. Isn't this just like us?"
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as being rejected, right? I'm afraid the engagement has been cancelled, right? Bai Yan, a dandy, won't be able to become more arrogant in the future without Mr. Qin's support."
"It's also because the Bai family has no self-awareness. Mr. Qin is already the prefect, can he still like a rich man?"
A group of people were talking about it, and some of the competitors of the Bai family were all happy.
In the room, Qin Mosheng was very worried: "Father, why don't we come to cancel the engagement?"
Magistrate Qin shook his head: "I have just been promoted, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me. If someone catches me, I am afraid that my current position will not be stable."
"Father, what should I do? I will never marry that dude." Qin Mo Sheng said coquettishly.
When she thought of Bai Yan's face, she felt extremely sick.
"We have another way, to report it to His Majesty and ask Your Majesty to grant a marriage between you and the God of Fire." Qin Zhifu said.
"Will Your Majesty agree?" Qin Mosheng was worried.
"The God of Fire is His Majesty's savior, and he is also the god who was canonized by His Majesty himself. And you are the daughter of a hero, so His Majesty will not refuse. What's more, you have a token of love in your hand, what are you afraid of?" Qin Zhifu smiled and comforted.
He had already made up his mind, regardless of whether Yan Sheng and Qin Mosheng had met or had an agreement.
He has to report it. Once His Majesty grants the marriage, then he will be the father-in-law of the God of Fire. Even Your Majesty has to treat him differently.
The prefect of Qin didn't waste any more time and immediately wrote a handwritten letter, rushing four hundred miles away to send it to Kyoto.
