Chapter 422: Eyelids Rolled and He Fainted

Sun Qi is a man of letters who can solve problems through peaceful means. He has never liked force.

After all, force also costs money!

There are not many weapons in the yamen, and it is difficult to apply for them. Many weapons break after use and cannot be repaired. What a waste!

Sun Qi wanted to negotiate in good faith from the beginning. Although it didn't sound like an official and a thief being well-intentioned, Sun Qi really wanted to know what else was worth stealing in their yamen, and he was scratching his head to find out. , always feel that if you know it, you will get rich?

But the other party is obviously a tough opponent, and he won't say anything even to the death.

Sun Qi had no choice but to stay here until dawn. He also wanted to go back and catch up on his sleep before the office opened tomorrow morning.

With this in mind, Master Sun issued the final order.

And the next second after he issued the order, a calm and calm voice slowly floated down from the roof: "Is your Guyong Mansion so poor?"

Different from those government officials who "made mistakes" and "random thoughts", looking at Sun Qi's expression, it was not difficult for Rong Leng to guess that Sun Qi's question about what he had stolen was definitely not a high-end interrogation method. Sun Qi must have , I just want to know what else is valuable here that can be sold secretly to fill the treasury.

How poor can a state capital be?

After all, it is a large area of ​​land, a large area of ​​residents, a large area of ​​labor force, farmland, merchants, and shops. Just collecting taxes can amount to a lot in a month.

To put it another way, even if the poverty here is really too poor to lift the blame, the people below should be the only ones who cannot lift the blame. At least the officials in the yamen can still eat a lot of fish and meat, including abalone, ginseng, fins and belly.

This is the current way of serving as an official in Qingyun Kingdom.

However, this Guyong Mansion is an exception.

Rong Leng can clearly know how poor Guyong Mansion was from some memorials and folded copies, including some letters written by Sun Qi to him.

Mr. Fu Yin has never hidden the poverty in his own territory, and because he is so good at crying about poverty, he has been blacklisted by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Because no one in Kyoto believed that they could really be this poor.

Last time I heard that the governor of Guyong Mansion, even the Yamen, specially applied to the Ministry of Household Affairs to replace the lottery tube.

Things like lottery tubes, which cost a few taels of silver, are also included in the utensil application project, but no one has ever seriously applied for it!

A few taels of silver, to put it harshly, is not even enough to send a beggar away.

But the governor of Guyong Mansion didn't even bother with this little money. Over time, the officials who had been living in Kyoto were annoyed by this little governor who always liked to take advantage of the sesame and mung beans in the household department.

You said that as a governor, you try your best to send money, things, and beauties to the superiors. If you are short of money, you have to ask for it from the accounts of the household department. At the most minor level, this is a problem. You don't know how to flatter Shangfeng. To put it more seriously, he just doesn't know how to praise and is annoying!

What are the consequences of an official being annoying?

The answer is simple, isolation!

Your superiors won't even look at you, your colleagues avoid you, your jurisdiction is ridiculed by other state capitals, and the people who come out of your jurisdiction are crowded out by other state capitals!

This is revenge from officials!

Sun Qi received this series of "preferential treatment" in his third year in Guyong Mansion.

Rong Leng had never been to Guyong Mansion before, but Rong Leng knew a lot about Sun Qi. Rong Leng was also deeply impressed by Sun Qi's ability to cry when he was poor.

Compared with others, Rong Leng believed in Sun Qi a little. He had a kind and honest character. If he wanted to cry out for poverty and defraud money, he really wouldn't believe it.

But Rong Leng didn't expect that a dignified governor would say such words when facing a "criminal thief".

It seems that only those who are crazy and poor would say this.

Rong Leng's question was very calm, his voice was a little cold, and his tone was a little hoarse.

Rong Leng's words were very short and passed by in a flash. Even before Sun Qi thought that the thief would speak suddenly, the words had already fallen and disappeared.

But despite this, in that short moment just now, Sun Qi still jumped up suddenly, and his head suddenly buzzed.

He raised his head in doubt, his brows furrowed even more tightly than before. He licked his lips, raised his head uncertainly and asked, "What did you say...?"

"Really, so poor?" Rong Leng said again flatly, but this time, the words were missing a lot.

With mental preparation, Sun Qi listened carefully. He carefully poured the timbre and intonation of these five words into his ears perfectly. Then, he suddenly shouted: "Rong...Rong...Rong..."

After waiting for a long time, I still couldn't say the following words.

Rong Leng sneered, walked two steps on the roof, and walked to a place a little away from the moonlight. This place was not backlit, but because of the edge light of the moonlight, his face could be completely seen here.

So, the moment he saw the man's delicate and noble face, the young Fu Yin who looked a little dry and thin, with unhealthy pale skin, stiffened instantly, and then, with a "bang", he fell to the ground On the ground, his eyelids rolled up and he fainted.

Rong Leng: "..."

All government officials: "..."

Ji Feng: "..."

The one who reacted the fastest was Ji Feng. Ji Feng glanced at Rong Leng without any trace, and then quickly stretched out his hand to help his master up.

However, Sun Qi showed no sign of waking up at all. He fainted completely.

Ji Feng had no choice but to pinch Sun Qi's man to neutralize the tiger's mouth and force the adults to wake up quickly.

In the end, the frail Master Sun, who often fainted from time to time due to long-term malnutrition and poor physical condition, finally woke up.

After looking at the man who was still standing on the roof, standing quietly and motionless, he climbed up, turned over, then turned around and knelt directly towards the roof, and screamed tremblingly. : "I've seen... Captain Rong..."

This third prince does not like to be called a prince because he represents his identity and bloodline. He always likes to be called an official.

Perhaps many officials in the capital don't know this. After all, this gentleman has unstable moods, is fickle, and is very difficult to serve. Not many people get close to him. But Sun Qi knows this little secret, and all the taboos of this gentleman Sun Qi has always been forced to keep it in his mind.

Hearing the long-lost words "Captain Rong", Rong Leng didn't miss him at all. If he could, he really didn't want to expose his identity tonight, but Ye Yuanliang's body was too big. It seemed that the examination couldn't be completed tonight. Someone would come in early tomorrow morning. If you look at the corpse, you will inevitably find that it has been disemboweled. At that time, it will only be more troublesome to get close to the corpse.

Not wanting to cause these irrelevant troubles and waste time, Rong Leng finally decided to reveal his identity.

Although Rong Su is likely to be exposed after his identity is revealed, compared to Liu Wei, Rong Su is... expendable.

At most, the soldier talisman can be brought back to Kyoto for Rong Su.

One is the wife that he will spend his whole life with in the future, and the other is a dispensable brother.

The latter is completely unimportant.
