Chapter 365: Xie Yunjin Teasing
Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars
The First Born immediately tilted his head back and proudly said, “I told you my dad and mom are amazing people. Nothing will happen to them.”
The Second Born vigorously nodded in agreement. Yes, his parents are formidable, and now he understands that the reason he was unharmed before was because his parents went up the mountain to exchange themselves for him and Han Nanfeng. So, he is alive because his parents saved him.
His dad and mom are the best parents.
The Third and Fourth Born clung to Lu Jiao’s neck in fear. “Mommy, it’s great that you’re okay.”
“Yes, my mommy is amazing. She won’t have any problems.” After the Fourth Born finished speaking, tears streamed down his face. He reached out and hugged Lu Jiao’s neck. “But mommy, I’m so scared.” He burst into loud crying.
Lu Jiao quickly comforted them and said, “Your dad got injured while saving me. Let’s first take him to bed, okay?” freewebnove(l).com
As soon as the four little ones heard that their dad was injured, they immediately stopped making a fuss and became well-behaved. Lu Jiao supported Xie Yunjin and went to his room.
Due to the rush of the journey back, the arrow wound on Xie Yunjin’s shoulder burst open, and blood flowed out.
Lu Jiao asked Lu Gui to take the four little ones to eat and bathe. Lu Gui agreed and took the four little ones downstairs. To avoid worrying their parents, the four little ones no longer made a fuss like before and obediently followed Lu Gui to the back courtyard to eat and bathe.
Lu Jiao re-dressed Xie Yunjin’s wound and bandaged it. Then the two of them then had something to eat.
Only after that did they have the energy to speak with Magistrate Hu and Commander Xu.
Xie Yunjin looked at Magistrate Hu and Commander Xu and said in a deep voice, “We have already discovered the whereabouts of where Peng and Yang hide their money. Magistrate Hu and Comander Xu, you should act separately. One should search and confiscate the money from the Yang and Peng households, while the other arrest the people.”
As soon as Xie Yunjin finished speaking and before Magistrate Hu could react,
Officer Xu exclaimed excitedly, “Good, I will immediately go and arrest them.”
His voice was so loud that it startled everyone in the room, and they all turned to look at Commander Xu, who smiled dryly.
Wasn’t he happy? As long as they captured Yang and Peng, Lu Jiao would have time to arrange for his surgery. After the surgery, he could continue the Xu family’s tree. Then in the afterlife, he would have face in front of the ancestors of the Xu family.
Everyone in the room understood why Commander Xu was so anxious, but they all pretended not to know.
Magistrate Hu furrowed his brow and looked at Xie Yunjin, “The money found in Yang and Peng households is probably quite substantial?”
After so many years of accepting bribes, the amount of money they saved must be significant.
Xie Yunjin spoke up, “Each household probably has over a hundred thousand taels. ”
“Over a hundred thousand taels!?”
Magistrate Hu and Commander Xu couldn’t help but shout and curse at Yang and Peng.
“These damn bastards! They’re so wealthy, yet they wander around in patched clothes all day long. They’re really good at pretending. I used to think they were poor and even gave them ten taels of silver per household.”
“Every time we had a meal together, I would treat them because I thought they were poor and couldn’t afford it. I never expected that they were the richest among us.”
After venting their frustrations, the Magistrate and Commander suddenly turned to look at Xie Yunjin.
“According to the rules, I should hand over the confiscated silver to the Prefect in the Capital City. Then he would submit the bribery case to the higher authorities. But even if the silver reaches the Prefect’s hands, he probably won’t mention our contribution. Our credit will be stolen.”
The Magistrate had been hoping for some political achievements for so many years, and now that he finally had the opportunity, he didn’t want to give it away to the Prefect.
Commander Xu nodded in agreement with Hu’s words.
“That’s a possibility.”
The Magistrate looked at Xie Yunjin and hoped that he could come up with a solution.
Xie Yunjin turned to look at Zhao Lingfeng, “If I hand this silver over to you, can you ensure that the Magistrate receives credit?”
Zhao Lingfeng considered his own master’s trip through Qinghe County, if this case could be attributed to his master, then his master would gain credit. It would be a small matter to also credit the Magistrate.
Zhao Lingfeng thought for a moment then agreed, “Alright, I’ll arrange it.”
Xie Yunjin looked at the Magistrate, “You take your men and search the homes of Yang and Peng overnight, while the Commander takes his men to capture
Yang and Peng.”
As the two individuals still believed that Xie Yunjin was dead, tonight was the best opportunity. They shouldn’t wait until tomorrow when they find out he’s alive, as they might take action.
The Magistrate and the Commander nodded immediately and prepared to leave to make arrangements.
Luo Jiao remembered the underground secret passage in Black Wind Mountain and said to them, “When we fell into the underground passage of in the mountain, we discovered a secret room filled with a large amount of smuggled salt.
After the Magistrate searches the homes of Yang and Peng, have someone bring back the smuggled salt.”
The Magistrate and the Commander immediately looked at Luo Jiao, and then at Xie Yunjin. Xie Yunjin explained the matter of the smuggled salt again, and then mentioned that after capturing Yang and Peng, they should immediately stabilize the prices in Qinghe County. No unscrupulous merchants should be allowed to raise prices. If caught, their businesses should be shut down immediately.
The Magistrate and the Commander had been bullied by these merchants for so many years, and now they were finally filled with righteous indignation. They agreed without hesitation.
The two men left with their respective teams to handle these matters. Zhao Lingfeng also got up to bid farewell. He had to arrange for someone to deliver the message to his master and see how his master would handle this matter.
“I’m leaving too.”
“Alright.”
After Zhao Lingfeng left, only Classmate Han remained in the room. Han looked at Xie Yunjin, his eyes slightly red, and said, “Yunjing, thank you for saving Nanfeng. Thank you.”
Xie Yunjin shook his head and advised, “Alright, don’t say these meaningless words. Don’t worry about anything else and focus on preparing for the provincial examination. Strive to pass this time. If you pass, then my efforts won’t be in vain.”
“Okay, this time I will definitely pass the exam. After the exam, I’ll come to apologize to you, Yunjin.”
Xie Yunjin waved his hand, and Han turned and walked out. Xie Yunjin let out a long sigh of relief and turned to look at Luo Jiao.
“Now that they’re gone, it seems I haven’t taken a bath yet.’
Since yesterday, he had been busy and hadn’t had a chance to clean up. He would never be able to sleep without taking a bath.
Luo Jiao, upon hearing his words, thought about how she used to help him wash his body when he was paralyzed, and now he was comfortable asking her directly.
“Shall I ask Lin Dong to come and help you wash up?”
Xie Yunjin immediately refused, “You know me, I don’t like having unfamiliar people help me wash.’
Luo Jiao remembered how he would only let his second brother help him wash when he was bedridden.
On the bed, Xie Yunjin looked at Luo Jiao, who was slightly blushing, and couldn’t help but tease her.
“If Jiaojiao doesn’t mind, could you help me take a bath?”
