I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 161 I’ll kowtow to you on behalf of my brother!
Dong Yi said, "Your Majesty, the two witnesses played an indispensable role in catching the poisoner as soon as possible."

Xiao Jingfan was in a good mood at the moment, and asked, "Which two?"

"Chu Shangming and Chu Yuxin, they are Chen Dong's neighbors." Dong Yi said, "Thanks to the brother and sister for remembering the murderer's appearance and rushing to the front when catching the murderer, and discovering the murderer's whereabouts several times, I think they should be rewarded."

Xiao Jingfan felt that these two names sounded familiar. If the last name was Chu...

Before he could think of it, his inner voice came out first.

[Lord Dong is a good official. He even remembered to ask for rewards for my elder brother and younger sister! In order to catch the follower, my stupid elder brother almost ran himself to death. His legs were cramped. If he doesn't get anything, he will probably cry for most of the night while hugging his quilt.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

He really couldn't imagine a grown man crying while hugging a quilt for half the night. What kind of weirdness was this?
However, since they are this woman's family, the reward owed to her can be paid back to her family first. After all, this woman values ​​her family very much.

Now is the perfect opportunity.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingfan said: "Assisting the officers in catching the murderer is meritorious, and he should indeed be rewarded, and also set an example for the subjects."

Dong Yi looked up in surprise.

He just mentioned it in passing, but His Majesty agreed so readily. Did he get rich?
Xiao Jingfan, who wanted to reward Chu Liuzheng for his contribution, thought for a few breaths and said, "A reward of three thousand silver coins, one hundred acres of good farmland, two hundred rolls of silk, one piece of satin..."

"Your Majesty!" Imperial Tutor Yan interrupted hastily, "Even if these two have made contributions, according to the law, they will only be rewarded with a few dozen taels of silver."

You gave too much!
This is not the way to set an example. If you waste the national treasury like this, believe it or not, the Minister Wen will come to the Wenhua Hall and hang himself!

Dong Yi also said: "Your Majesty, it is just a contribution of assistance, it is inappropriate to reward him so generously."

Xiao Jingfan was displeased and looked at him sideways.

It's you who asked for the reward, and it's also you who didn't allow it. Why is this happening?
Only Xie Hui glanced in the direction of Chu Liuzheng.

If he remembered correctly, Chu Shangming was mistakenly arrested by the Jinyiwei, and it was His Majesty who personally ordered his release.

He later secretly investigated and found out that the Chu family was a peasant family with no prominent background. The only special thing was that they had a daughter who entered the palace as a maid. Her name was Chu Liuzheng.

And the maid in the palace seems to be called Chu Liuzheng. Could it be that His Majesty is giving such a generous reward just for this maid?
Thinking of this possibility, Commander Xie couldn't help but sigh.

The color makes the mind faint!

Sex makes your mind faint! !

Chu Liuzheng was also sighing.

[Well, it’s true that I fantasize about getting rich overnight, but isn’t it a bit too fast to achieve it? ]

[Could it be that the tyrant is really the reincarnation of the turtle in the wishing well? But the problem is that I didn't make a wish to the tyrant, so is this okay? How about I make one now? ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Although the turtle in the wishing well sounded like a god, he felt that the woman was scolding him.

After calling him a tyrant and a scumbag, he actually called him a cuckold!

Is there any cuckold as wise as him? !
[Tyrant tyrant, I want my injury to heal immediately! ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

After making the wish, Chu Liuzheng stared intently at his hands wrapped in gauze.

Since she can travel through time, it is not impossible that the tyrant has some connection with the wishing turtle.

After watching for a while, there was no change, so Chu Liuzheng gave up regretfully.

[Okay, the tyrant shouldn't be a cuckold, then... something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary! He is so generous that he is not a tyrant at all. Did he take aphrodisiac?] [That's three thousand taels of silver. Ordinary people can't earn so much money in their lifetime! There are also fertile fields and silk. If the Grand Tutor hadn't interrupted, there would be more. What kind of aphrodisiac could make a tyrant who counts rewards in copper coins like this? Is it Meng Po soup from the underworld?]

[Besides, such a huge reward just for helping the yamen runners catch a murderer? Why am I so unconvinced? ]

Chu Liuzheng fully expands his thinking.

[Could the followers of Prince Li be some long-time fugitives or serial killers? Or have they killed some royal relatives who are very important to the tyrant?]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Can't this woman hope for something good?
Chu Liuzheng quickly went through the life story of his follower.

[That's not the case. Apart from the fact that Prince Li had an affair with his mother, and Princess Li had an affair with his father in order to get revenge, there's nothing unusual about that.]

[Oh no, there is still a little bit. Others stopped wetting the bed at the age of three, but this guy was still drawing maps on his bed at the age of ten. Therefore, the little girl he liked despised him as a little brat who had not grown up and refused to play with him. It was really a nightmare for the little boy.]

Xiao Jingfan was speechless.

Is bed-wetting the point? I see you are peeling off my green hat very carefully, why don’t you peel off the King of Li carefully!
Do you dare to expand on what was said before? !

Chu Liuzheng...can't take care of it.

The reason why her family was suddenly rewarded so heavily has not been found yet, so how can she have the leisure to eat other people's melons?
[There is no such thing. ]

Chu Liuzheng was puzzled, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly thought of a horrifying possibility.

[Frog fun! Could it be that the tyrant is possessed by a ghost? ]

She looked at the tyrant, her mind in disarray.

【Mani Mami Hom! Ghosts, please retreat quickly!!】

Xiao Jingfan: ...headache!
At this moment, Xie Hui suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this generous reward is indeed inappropriate."

Master Yan and Dong Yi looked at him in surprise. Isn't this guy just a yes-man for the emperor? There is actually a day for him to give advice. The sun hasn't even risen yet.

Xiao Jingfan was also a little surprised that Xie Hui would speak at this time, and stared at him with deep eyes.

Xie Hui said, "Chu Shangming is just a scholar without any achievements. Since Your Majesty appreciates him, why not show him favor and let him study in the Imperial Academy. This will not only show Your Majesty's great favor, but also help to reserve talents for the country. If he can pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, Your Majesty, as a talent scout, will also be praised."

Xiao Jingfan's eyes moved slightly. This was better than just giving things as a reward.

He glanced at Chu Liuzheng secretly.

Chu Liuzheng was calculating abacus in his mind.

[The Imperial College is great! Not only do you not have to pay tuition fees, you can also receive food and beverage subsidies to supplement your life, accommodation is free, medical care is free, there are subsidies for buying books, and there are additional rewards and subsidies during festivals. Even family members can be exempted from some corvée labor, which can save a lot of money every year. ]

[Shanghong Academy is good, but its faculty is definitely not as good as the Imperial College. If my brother can enter the Imperial College, and if he is a little bit luckier, he may be able to enter the government directly. Even if he is not that lucky, the students of the Imperial College enjoy certain priority in the imperial examinations, which greatly increases my brother's chances of passing the examinations.]

[Master Xie is indeed a good person! I will kowtow to you on behalf of my brother! ]

Her heart pounded twice, and Xiao Jingfan frowned when he heard it.

He just didn't understand. He was the one who made the decision, so why didn't this woman kowtow to him first?
Master Yan and Dong Yi both stared at Xie Hui.

He just helped catch the murderer, and it was not Chu Shangming who caught the murderer. So he can enter the Imperial College?

What do the wealthy businessmen who have to spend a lot of money and try their best to donate a spot think?
What should those outstanding students think?

What do the officials who are not qualified to send their clan members to the Imperial Academy because their rank is too low think?
If the specially granted qualification was so good, those who had scholars in their families would not have to do anything else but to squat at the gate of the yamen every day and help arrest people.

Could this Chu Shangming be Xie Hui’s relative?
