Chapter Thirty-Four: The Dust Settles
After King Yu led people to file a complaint against King Qing, and after the emperor personally interrogated him, King Yu was naturally cleared of suspicion. Since the emperor did not want to really punish King Qing, a life-and-death fight between King Qing and King Yu was the situation the emperor most wanted to see. Because
If you don’t want to punish King Qing, you have to give candy to King Yu.
So when King Yu recommended Wu Bing to the emperor, King Yu immediately agreed to his request and promoted the seventh-rank county magistrate to the second-in-command of the government office, Tongzhi, with a rank of six for the time being. When the performance was completed,
, you can reach the official position of the fifth rank. The little emperor even agreed to give Yu Niang to King Yu, which made King Yu feel very happy.
King Yu returned to Prince Yu's Mansion with the imperial edict, and immediately sent for Wu Bing and Yu Kun. After the edict was read out, Wu Bing became the second in command of the government office, while Yu Kun became the clerk in charge of litigation.
With the official title of seventh rank, Yu Kun gave up his status as a minor official and became a serious official in the Ming Dynasty.
King Yu held a banquet. Wu Bing took the first seat among the guests, and Yu Kun sat opposite Wu Bing. King Yu knew very well that the credit this time should belong to Yu Kun, but after all, Yu Kun was not an official of the imperial court. Being able to become a government official was also the emperor.
Extraordinary acts of kindness. At the banquet, both Wu Bing and Yu Kun offered many glasses of wine to King Yu, thanking him for his cultivation. King Yu also wanted to win over Wu Bing and Yu Kun as his confidants, so the guests and hosts left happily.
.
Yu Kun and Wu Bing stayed in Prince Yu's Mansion that night. The mission of the four bodyguards was completed and they would leave the escort agency tomorrow. Everyone had similar tempers during the past few days, so in the inner house, Wu Bing, Yu Kun and the four bodyguards
Let the kitchen prepare some side dishes, and the six of us would have a few words of appreciation over wine.
Through contact, Yu Kun felt that Zhang Yu and Wu Feng were in love, so he decided to act as a matchmaker for the two. After privately soliciting their opinions, Yu Kun decided to visit Mr. Wu in person tomorrow to act as a matchmaker for the two.
At three o'clock in the morning, Prince Yu had a simple breakfast, and everyone said goodbye to the prince. "Dian Li, come to the palace more often when you have time, and we can get closer and closer!"
"Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty. I will never forget my humble position. I will definitely come and bother Your Majesty when I have time! Farewell!" The Prince asked the housekeeper to send everyone out. Wu Bing took the notice and reported to the government office. Yu Kun went to visit first.
Mr. Wu is the head escort, and then goes home to congratulate his wife.
Mr. Wu was very happy when he heard that Yu Kun had been promoted to a magistrate, and asked him and Wu Bing to support his work in the future. Yu Kun naturally agreed happily. After dismissing everyone, Yu Kun acted as matchmaker for Wu Feng and Zhang Yu. "
Yu Dianli, Zhang Yu is indeed a good kid, but I still need my daughter to be willing to do this!"
"As long as Mr. Wu's bodyguard nods and approves, the rest will be taken care of by my younger brother!" Seeing Yu Kun's humility, Mr. Wu's bodyguard insisted on staying with Yu Kun for dinner no matter what, and also decided on the daughter's marriage. Yu Kun said
The money for hiring four bodyguards was handed over to Mr. Wu, the bodyguard chief.
"Yu Dianli, this is a lot more than the promised silver. The extra money should be given to Yu Dianli!"
"That's not okay. The county magistrate and I have been rewarded with more than a hundred taels of silver for our merits in solving the case. Your silver is from King Yu's last time. Mr. Wu's bodyguard can only accept his kindness!"
"As for the officials, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
"Mr. Wu, you're welcome, Mr. Wu!"
"I'd better call my brother to listen and make out!"
"In your humble position, you call the four bodyguards brothers and sisters, and it's really inappropriate to call the chief bodyguard the eldest brother!"
"Let each of you discuss it!"
There happened to be no business for a few days, so Mr. Wu left a dozen people to look after the house and the home, and the others followed him to a nearby tavern. Mr. Wu ordered five banquets, and asked the guys to look after the house and the home.
Food and drinks were served. At the beginning of the banquet, Mr. Wu's bodyguard announced the marriage of Zhang Yu and Wu Feng.
Everyone congratulated the senior brothers and sisters and the master, but Liu Yifei and Yun Feiyang were a little unhappy. But since the master decided to marry the younger junior sister to the senior brother, the two of them, as the second and third senior brothers, can only live together. Anyway, today is not the day.
There was nothing else to do, and his daughter Wu Feng was found again, so Mr. Wu allowed everyone to eat and drink.
The banquet lasted until the end of the Shen Dynasty. Yu Kun missed his wife and Xiao Cui at home, so he said goodbye to Mr. Wu and returned home. After drinking, his legs became weak, so Yu Kun hired a sedan to return home, and he gave his wife and Xiao Cui a ride on the way.
He brought some delicious food. For the safety of his wife and Xiao Cui, the family hired a housekeeper and a woman who buys food and cooks food. They happened to be a couple in their thirties. Yu Kun saw that the two of them were simple and honest.
He was capable and gave them two taels of silver every month. The couple was very happy and helped Li Pingting keep things at home in order.
Seeing that it was Yu Kun who had returned, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted him, and the couple put the things Yu Kun had brought back into his wife's room. "Brother Liu, come here with Sister Liu to have something to eat!"
"Sir, please eat, we are not hungry!" The housekeeper knew that Yu Kun had been away from home for many days and must have a lot of personal things to say to his wife and Xiaocui, so the couple left very wisely.
Hearing Yu Kun's voice, Li Pingting and Xiao Cui hurriedly ran out of the boudoir. "Uncle, you are back!" Xiao Cui is no longer shy and has returned to her previous appearance, but Li Pingting is a little bit more confident.
Shy. Yu Kun stretched out his hand to pull Li Pingting and Xiao Cui to the dining table, "Come, let me take a good look at whether Madam and Xiao Cui have gained weight or lost weight! If Housekeeper Liu and his wife made Madam and Xiao Cui lose weight due to hunger,
, I will settle the score with them!"
"My aunt, Xiaocui sees that my aunt is a little thinner!"
"It is thrilling and busy to solve crimes, so I must lose weight, and for a more important reason, I must lose weight!"
"Uncle, is there anything that worries you?"
"Of course it's Xiaocui and your lady!"
"Uncle, I will ignore you!" Xiao Cui said and started to leave. Yu Kun grabbed Xiao Cui, then made the two of them sit down, one on the left and the other on the right, and stretched out his hand to hold them in his arms.
Li Pingting and Xiao Cui are both a little shy. They always face each other in the boudoir. Now that the three of them are together, Li Pingting and Xiao Cui are always a little embarrassed. "Xiao Cui, madam, let me tell you something big or small.
good news!"
"Uncle, has the case been solved?" Xiaocui stood up happily.
"The case has been solved. Madam, here is a reward of one hundred taels of silver! But there is one better thing than solving the case!" Li Pingting and Xiao Cui were so happy when they saw the one hundred taels of silver. They heard that there were more
Good thing, the two people came forward immediately.
"Young master, I have finally become an official of the imperial court, the eighth rank, and will become the sixth rank in the future!"
"Uncle, this is great, we must have a drink to celebrate!"
"Look, your uncle has prepared some wine and food. Hurry up and get some for your young lady and me! I promised to make your young lady the royal wife in the future, and I won't break my promise! Xiao Cui behaves well, and you will be indispensable for your benefits in the future.
