As soon as Bai Jinghao said this, the prefect of Qin was as dumbfounded as a chicken.
Have you compromised? Damn it, this is not the Bai Jinghao I know.
You compromised, what am I doing here?
He finally understood why so many people were targeting him. It would be strange if they didn't target him.
He coughed and said: "Boss Bai is indeed a man who understands justice, but I don't know what proportion Boss Bai exchanges for?"
He thought he could save it a bit and ask Bai Jinghao for one or two levels of interest, and those people would still be grateful to him.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome if all these people boarded Bai Jinghao's boat.
"Proportion? Magistrate Qin is joking. Huang Yuanwai and others are all respectable people. How could I be like this? According to the number of days to exchange, it is based on the face value of the banknote. Magistrate Qin is so concerned. Could it be that Magistrate Qin also has the Ma family?
A silver note? Don’t worry, Governor Qin, you can exchange it for any amount of money." Bai Jinghao said with a smile.
Magistrate Qin cursed in his heart, you are really crazy, you gave away so much money, when did you become so generous?
Although the Ma family's treasury is not much, the sum of the several banks can't add up to one hundred thousand taels, right? And the ones that were given to him before may be worth two hundred thousand taels.
He really doesn't understand why Bai Jinghao, who regards wealth as his life, is so generous?
He was slandering in his heart, but still looked calm on the surface: "Boss Bai's layout is really great, I admire him. Since Boss Bai has solved everyone's problems, I will leave."
After saying that, Magistrate Qin turned around and left.
He felt uncomfortable all over if he stayed there for a second longer.
But he wanted to leave, but Bai Jinghao was unwilling to let him go, pulling him and nagging him.
"Master Prefect, although our two families have not become in-laws, we still have a close friendship over the years. Why don't you think about it and send the money to my house for storage?" Bai Jinghao lowered his voice.
Magistrate Qin's expression changed drastically. He hid the money, otherwise he would not be able to explain it clearly.
He didn't know how the news leaked out, but now two people had mentioned the money.
"Bai Jinghao, don't talk nonsense." Qin Zhifu scolded in a low voice.
"Prefect Qin, how dare I talk nonsense in front of you?" Bai Jinghao was still smiling.
"You don't have that money, Bai Jinghao, keep your mouth shut."
Magistrate Qin scolded him, turned around and left without stopping any longer.
We can't stay any longer, otherwise we will only leak more.
Bai Jinghao did not stop him and said loudly: "Prefect Qin, Mr. Bai congratulates you on your arrival."
Hearing this, Magistrate Qin lost his balance and almost fell down.
He wished he could kill Bai Jinghao now.
Bai Jinghao sent Magistrate Qin away and continued to greet Huang Yuanwai and others.
"Boss Bai, what did Governor Qin say to you just now?"
Huang Yuanwai and others asked.
There was something in Bai Jinghao's words, but they could still hear it.
That was Qin Zhifu, and he had conflicts with them, so he naturally wanted to find out more about it.
"It's nothing, it's just a business matter. Now that the Ma family is gone, the money from the government will naturally be deposited in my Jinghao Bank. Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about other things."
Bai Jinghao said with a smile.
Huang Yuanwai and others responded, but there was a judgment in their hearts.
Magistrate Qin wants to deposit money at Jinghao Bank.
But isn’t the government out of money? The Qin magistrate has been complaining about their poverty, so where will the large amount of money come from now?
It has to be deposited into the bank, and it must not be a small amount.
The prefect of Qin has been saying that all the money was taken away by the army. Now there are rumors outside that Zhenbei Hou and Bai Yan colluded, and the money actually went into the bank.
But since they colluded, why did Bai Jinghao spend so much money to compensate them?
Since all the money has gone into the army, why is there still such a rumor? Is it just to frame Bai Jinghao?
At this moment, everyone had to think more about Magistrate Qin and Yinzi together.
They hadn't thought this way before, but today Magistrate Qin's attitude was too strange, and that batch of money was not groundless.
At the same time, a group of people sneaked into Yanzhou City quietly without anyone noticing, and went straight to the college.
"Master Hou, why are you here?"
When Bai Yan saw Qing Gong, he was very pleasantly surprised.
Qing Gong and others were covered in dirt, their clothes had not been washed for a long time, their faces were unshaven, full of vicissitudes of life, and they did not have the slightest bit of the style of a marquis.
If they met on the street, Yang Mo wouldn't necessarily recognize him.
"I am very concerned about the affairs of the arsenal, so I came here in a hurry. Of course, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you." Qing Gong came forward and gave Bai Yan a hug.
Bai Yan pushed Qing Gong away unceremoniously: "Get out of here, people who don't know better think that our relationship is abnormal."
"The relationship between the two of us is indeed abnormal. There is a secret between us." Qing Gong was not angry and said with a smile.
Bai Yan felt helpless for a while, but at this moment, Qing Gong really didn't look like a marquis, but more like a boy next door.
Speaking of which, Qing Gong is indeed a young man. Because of his demeanor on the battlefield, no one treats him as a young man.
"Let's move to another place. You guys need to wash up first." Bai Yan called Ah Cheng over and ordered him to go down.
With Qing Gong and the others looking like this, there was no need to conceal their identities, and no one would notice.
Ah Cheng took Qing Gong and others down, and only Bai Yan and Zhao Han were left in the room.
"Master Bai, there are rumors in Yanzhou City. Have you heard about them?" Zhao Han asked.
"What do you mean?" Bai Yan looked at Zhao Han.
"Some people say that you and the Marquis colluded to defraud the Ma family's treasury of money and harmed those people." Zhao Han said angrily.
When he heard these words, he wanted to kill those who gossiped.
"That's what you're talking about. I've already solved it. Such rumors will soon be disproven." Bai Yan said nonchalantly.
He also heard such words, but if the Bai family disperses their wealth, these rumors will be self-defeating.
However, Bai Yan's attitude made Zhao Han very angry.
"Master Bai, I don't know how you solved it? Our Marquis has been able to reach this day and his reputation is without any stain. Now, someone actually arranges the Marquis like this. How can it be solved by eliminating the rumors?" Zhao Han asked.
Bai Yan looked at Zhao Han and said nothing.
In his opinion, if the rumor was broken, it would be solved, so he didn't think much about it.
However, what Zhao Han said makes sense. Qing Gong's unusual status will still affect his reputation.
"Master Bai, our Marquis seldom comes into contact with Yanzhou City. Please ask Master Bai to help us, the Marquis, to plan and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. We can't just let it go." Zhao Han looked at Bai Yan and said seriously.
