Chapter 132 Twist His Head Off
Even Kong Jijiu, who was as steady as a rock, was startled by his appearance and almost choked on the rice in his mouth.
He had never seen Pei Yan lose his composure like this. What terrible thing had happened?
Your wife ran away with someone?
Pei Yan became even more anxious when he saw that Kong Jijiu didn't say anything.
"Master Jijiu, I want to go home. If I don't go back, I will be left without a wife."
When his wife sent him out today, she spoke strangely and there were tears in her eyes.
Now that I think about it, she was saying goodbye.
Kong Jijiu: “…”
Kong Jijiu waved his hand. His wife was about to die, yet he still asked for leave here. Pei Yan was just too well-rounded a person.
Pei Yan turned around and ran out. When Jiang Yueyang heard the noise and came out, she only saw Pei Yan's fleeting figure.
Jiang Yueyang, who was born with a curious heart, randomly grabbed a lucky person and asked, "Where is Master Pei going?"
Lucky bowed and replied, "I don't know. I only saw Master Pei running out of Kong Jijiu's office in a hurry."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyang turned around and went back to his office.
After a while, she came out with a stack of papers and went to Kong Jijiu's office.
Kong Jijiu looked up when he heard footsteps, and his eyes fell on the manuscript in her hand.
He asked calmly, "Master Xiao Jiang, what do you want?"
Jiang Yueyang raised her chin towards him, indicating that he should clear away the uneaten food on the table.
Kong Jijiu: “…”
Kong Jijiu was speechless for a while before he moved the food on the table to the side.
Jiang Yueyang placed the manuscript in front of Kong Jijiu, "Master Jijiu, this is the planting manual I asked Master Pei to write for me. Please help me pass it on to the Minister of Agriculture."
Kong Jijiu raised his hand and flipped through it, then said he would pass it on.
After a moment, seeing Jiang Yueyang still standing there without moving, he asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"
Jiang Yueyang grinned, "Master Jijiu, why is Master Pei leaving in such a hurry?"
"I sent him to do something." Kong Jijiu answered straightforwardly.
Jiang Yueyang said "oh" and subconsciously wanted to ask what they were going to do, but Kong Jijiu didn't give her the chance to ask.
"Don't ask too much. It's not something you should know."
Jiang Yueyang curled his lips and said, "I'll take my leave."
Then she turned around and walked out with her hands behind her back.
Kong Jijiu looked at her walking with her hands behind her back at such a young age and shook his head and laughed.
At that time, on the other side, Pei Yan was walking very fast, wanting to run, but he couldn't walk fast in the palace.
A quarter of an hour later, Pei Yan appeared at the palace gate. As soon as he took a step out of the palace gate, he lifted up his official uniform and ran.
The imperial guards just glanced at him and then looked away. This man would be impeached tomorrow.
Not long after, Jiang Yueyang also came out.
Seeing that the dark-skinned imperial guard from the morning was not there, she asked a question.
"Why isn't the guard who was in charge of the inspection this morning here?"
The imperial guard who was questioned clasped his fists and replied, "Master Xiao Jiang, he has asked for leave to go home for something."
Jiang Yueyang nodded, turned and walked towards her own carriage.
It seems that he took my words to heart, but I don’t know if he and his wife can resolve the misunderstanding.
Qingzhi put down the footstool of the carriage, Jiang Yueyang climbed onto the carriage, changed his clothes, and then got down again.
"I won't take the bus today. Qingzhi, please accompany me for a walk on the street."
Now Xiangling no longer comes out to pick her up, and she just follows Lingfeng around to help him all day long.
But all the help was counterproductive.
As of last night, Xiangling had killed three of the flowers and plants that Lingfeng had carefully cared for.
Jiang Yueyang said as they walked, "Qingzhi, I see you don't have many pieces of jewelry, shall we go buy some?"
"My lady, this slave girl does not need any jewelry."
"Nonsense, what girl doesn't need jewelry?"
Qingzhi looked embarrassed and said, "Miss, I don't have much money."
"So that's what you're worried about?" Jiang Yueyang patted her chest, "Miss, I have money, I can buy whatever I want."
"Xiaogua, doesn't being a secret guard make money? Normally, this kind of work, which is on the edge of life and death, should pay very well! Why would Qingzhi say there's no money?"
The system chuckled, "Because the emperor is broke and stingy. Furthermore, the emperor still owes them six months' worth of money."
[What? Your Majesty owes them six months' wages? What an unscrupulous boss! Only Qingzhi and the others can tolerate this. If it were me, I'd twist off his hair if he didn't get it done in three days!]
Qingzhi & Qingming: !!! I knew the girl was vindictive, but I didn't know she was also a bit violent.
The system couldn't help but laugh and said: [Host, do you know why the emperor gave these three to you? ]
【why? 】
Because Qingzhi and the other two were the most obedient, he felt guilty and found a wealthy master like you for them.
[You're wrong.] Jiang Yueyang sneered, [Your Majesty may have some qualms about his conscience, but more importantly, he doesn't want to pay them!]
Qingzhi and Qingming nodded silently in agreement. They also saw through His Majesty's little thoughts.
But what can be done?
They dare not twist your Majesty's head off.
The system knew she couldn't bear it as soon as she saw her expression. Maybe she even remembered the unpleasant experience of being owed wages in her previous life and eventually dying from overwork.
[What does the host plan to do? 】
They are my people now, and I want to help them get their wages back.
Qingzhi and Qingming's eyes lit up at the same time. Is it true?
System: [You can ask for Qingming and Guyu's wages, but why do you ask for Qingzhi's wages? She is the maid your father found for you.]
Qingzhi: ...I almost forgot that I came from an unknown place.
"What's so difficult about this?" Jiang Yueyang said confidently, "There's no compensation for the delayed wages. Your Majesty and I will ask for more money later to get Qingzhi's wages back."
Qingzhi was very touched, the girl was so nice.
The host has always been very efficient. I guess he will go to the emperor to ask for his salary tomorrow.
I wish tomorrow could come soon.
Before they knew it, the three of them had reached Suzaku Street, which was bustling with activity and the sounds of shouting and hawking.
Occasionally, groups of children would run past, accompanied by laughter and joy, showing that the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous.
But after a moment, the children's laughter stopped abruptly, followed by screams of fear and the noisy sound of horse hooves.
Jiang Yueyang turned around suddenly and saw a man riding a horse galloping towards him, followed by a group of Dali Temple officials chasing him.
"Everyone be careful, get out of the way quickly." Qin Shi rode his horse and chased in the front.
The pedestrians in the middle of the road quickly dodged to the sides, but the children were so frightened that they stood there motionless.
"Qingming, save people."
Qingming and Qingzhi quickly ran over, hugged the children and hid aside. Qingming also kicked the horse in the stomach.
The horse was frightened and the man fell off, but he quickly got up and rushed into a nearby shop and kidnapped a girl.
"Let me go, or I'll kill her."
