Chapter 158 Extremely admired

Child

Yue Jinghao and others took a small boat back to Yuelai Inn.

"The highlight is coming next!" Yue Jinghao said mysteriously.

Rong Cheng was confused after hearing this...

Chou time is when people are most sleepy.

Yue Jinghao whispered a few words in Wang Yi's ear. Wang Yi smiled and nodded, then flew to the residence of Sun Mingyang, the magistrate of Nanhai County. At this time, Sun Mingyang was sleeping soundly with his beautiful concubine in his arms.

Wang Yi found the money box under the couch and saw that it contained not only 20 million taels of silver notes, but also the silver notes, house deeds and land deeds that Sun Mingyang had accumulated himself. Wang Yi took them all!

The next day, the housekeeper came to report that people from all the shops had gone to Yiluxiang to collect payment for their goods. Sun Mingyang did not think much about it and let Huang Ren go with the money box.

Huang Ren arrived at the shop and proudly opened the cash box, wanting the shopkeeper to go to the bank to withdraw money. However, when he opened it, Huang Ren was dumbfounded, there was nothing in the cash box!

Huang Ren was stunned for a moment, and collapsed on the ground. He hurried to the county government office and reported the matter to Sun Mingyang. Sun Mingyang was also shocked and searched the house quickly. He even dismantled the bed, but there was no trace of the banknotes.

The people in the spice shops were also dumbfounded. Did this mean that they had lost both their goods and their money?

For a time, the entire Nanhai was in chaos. Merchants gathered at Yiluxiang and the government office to ask for money. Sun Mingyang and Huang Ren were so scared that they dared not go out. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pot...

The situation escalated, and various businesses jointly wrote a letter to sue Huang Ren and Sun Mingyang. However, they were afraid that officials would protect each other, so they reported the matter directly to the Inspectorate in the capital.

The Inspectorate announced that the spices had been recovered and asked all shops to take them back with orders. Yan Liyuan used swift and decisive measures to quickly find out the truth. Sun Mingyang used his power for personal gain, supported his brother-in-law to harm merchants, and occupied real estate. He sentenced Sun Mingyang and Huang Ren to immediate execution, returned their property to the merchants, and confiscated all other property...

In a short period of time, the Inspectorate established a good image among the people, and its reputation was extremely good!

Now Rong Cheng understood everything and was full of admiration for Yue Jinghao!

"How did Miss Yue come up with such a good idea?"

"Ms. Yue, you are so smart!"

"Miss Yue is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted!"

"..."

Rong Cheng's compliments were endless as if they were free. Yan Liyuan frowned as he kept talking, and then he pulled Yue Jinghao into the carriage. "Go back to Beijing!"

Rong Cheng also wanted to ride in the same carriage with them, but was stopped by Wang Yi, "I'm sorry, Prince Rong, the governor doesn't like outsiders to ride in his carriage..."

"Isn't Miss Yue an outsider? How can she be here?" Rong Cheng said unconvinced.

"I've already said that Miss Yue and the Governor..." Wang Yi was interrupted impatiently by Rong Cheng before he could finish his words, "Humph! What's the big deal? Even if you ask me to come now, I won't care!"

After that, Rong Cheng got on Yue Jinghao's carriage angrily, and Agate still sat in the corner. "Why don't you go and serve your lady?"

Agate said innocently: "With the Nine Thousand Years Old here, how can it be my turn..."

"..." Rong Cheng pointed at the agate, his lips trembling for a long time without uttering a word.

Yan Liyuan looked through a few folded notes absentmindedly, then glanced at Yue Jinghao who was reading, "Miss Yue, does she seem to have something else to do?"

Yue Jinghao didn't react to what Yan Liyuan said for a moment, and Yan Liyuan patiently reminded her: "Thank you!"

Yue Jinghao then remembered that she had promised to buy a sachet for Yan Liyuan on the way here, and said awkwardly: "My daughter...my daughter forgot..."

Yan Liyuan pursed his lips and stared at Yue Jinghao, which made Yue Jinghao feel uneasy. She quickly took out a sachet from her sleeve and said, "I didn't buy it. I have one embroidered by my daughter myself... Do you like it, Nine Thousand Year Old Man?"

When Yan Liyuan heard that it was embroidered by Yue Jinghao herself, his face suddenly brightened. He reached out to take the sachet and looked it over.

There are a few bamboo leaves embroidered on the sachet, and inside are medicinal herbs that can replenish qi and calm the mind. The color is also very consistent with Yan Liyuan's aloof personality.

Seeing that Yan Liyuan had been silent for a long time and had no joy on his face, Yue Jinghao asked first: "Does Nine Thousand Years like it? If you don't like it, I will..."

Yan Liyuan quickly hung the sachet on the jade belt. "It's a little ugly, but I'll just wear it reluctantly!"

Yue Jinghao curled her lips, looking at Yan Liyuan's seemingly blessed look, and wanted to punch him twice...

After Yue Jinghao fell asleep, Yan Liyuan put Yue Jinghao in his arms again, hugged her gently, and fumbled for the sachet in his hand...
