My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

"Besides, in the fight on East Street a few days ago, can you deny that you wanted to stand up for others and fight against the bully?"

Zhang Changlin: …

If he didn't know himself well, he would have been defeated by Ye Shengxin's mouth.

She can even say that the dead are alive.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Changlin only asked two questions, "How much money does it cost to be the head of the Jingzhao Yin constable per month? And how much vacation time is there per year?"

Ye Xingxin patted his chest and said, "With the salary from the court plus the bonus and holiday benefits I give you, two hundred taels a year is no problem."

"As for vacation, there are eight days a month. You don't get any vacation during major holidays, but you will be given three days off after that. In a year, that's about a hundred days off."

For nearly one-third of the holiday time, the prince, prime minister and others under the canopy fell silent.

To be honest, if they were not in high positions, they would all want to be constables under Ye Shengxin.

What a fucking conscience.

Why haven’t they met such a good boss who pays a lot of money and is easy to get along with?

What a miserable life.

With so many benefits, not to mention clearing the stigma, even if it wasn't cleared, Zhang Changlin wanted to accept it immediately.

This is definitely a philanthropist and a conscientious boss.

Seeing Zhang Changlin's interest, Ye Xingxin smiled and said, "How about it? Do you want to sign an employment contract?"

"Sign the contract today and start work today. I can guarantee that when you enter the company... no, when you enter the government, you will be the highest level manager besides me."

Zhang Changlin's eyes were twinkling and his heart was beating wildly.

Zhang Changlin finally took the job and moved into the Ye Mansion that night. His yard was next to Ye Zhengyao's.

After Ye Zhengyao woke up, he heard about this from Ye Zhixin, who had come to him on purpose to curry favor with him and to flatter Ye Shengxin, and he fainted from anger again.

"You traitor!"

The rebellious Ye Shengxin was now preparing a luxurious hot pot for Zhang Changlin in her own yard, served by Dong Shi and the maids.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Ye Shengxin smiled and asked Dongshi to send the expert constable, whom she had hired for two hundred taels of silver, back to the courtyard that had been arranged for him.

She turned around and found that Zhang Xiangyun had not left, and looked like she was ready to ask her a question, so she sat down again.

"Ancestor, what do you want to ask?"

Ever since they were eating hotpot just now, no, ever since Zhang Changlin signed the contract, this ancestor has been in a depressed mood and didn't even touch a piece of the chicken blood.

Ye Shengxin really couldn't understand what worries a simple zombie could have when he had descendants to support him.

Zhang Xiangyun frowned like a woman, and said in a slightly unconvinced voice: "Save worry, I can do it too, sign a contract, and be a head constable, why don't you find me."

"I am much stronger than Mr. Zhang. I can knock him down with just one punch."

So that's what it was. Ye Xingxin poured himself a cup of tea to soothe his throat, and explained with a smile, "Of course it's because there are never too many experts around, and Changlin was a thief before. If he is allowed back and turns into another thief's den, it will not be good for the people, the court, and even himself."

"Of course, another reason is that Changlin has good intentions. Using two hundred taels of silver to give Changlin the status of a head constable will also save everyone from future worries. Isn't that killing three birds with one stone?"

How can we not do such a beautiful thing?

Zhang Xiangyun still frowned: "You didn't answer, why didn't you come to me."

Ye Xingxin put down the teacup and sighed: "Of course it's because you're too expensive. I can't afford you."

Of course not. Zhang Xiangyun has a special identity and a simple mind. Without the permission of His Majesty and Lord Zhang, he cannot go out and show his face in public.

If it is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, who will be responsible for it?

"Well, it's late. Go back to bed. I have to attend the morning court tomorrow and can't get up late."

Ye Shengxin felt upset when talking about this topic. Why did he make such a wasted trip? It was so infuriating!

The next day, Ye Shengxin got up early, washed and dressed. When he was taken to the gate of the palace by carriage, he was still thinking about how to get along with the ministers carefully in the future. As a result, he once again received the news that the day was a day off.

Ye Shengxin felt unwell all over.

She almost held back her temper and asked the eunuch who was in charge of meeting the ministers every day, "Why didn't you remind me yesterday?"

The young eunuch looked bewildered: "Sir, you came and went in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't ask."

Is that still her fault?

Ye Xingxin inhaled and exhaled: "Then will you still go to court tomorrow?"

The young eunuch smiled and said, "Of course I will. The ministers have had a good rest these past two days, and they will be able to come to the court in high spirits tomorrow to discuss important matters."

In just a short sentence, every word irritated Ye Xingxin's nerves. Her forehead throbbed, but she still forced a smile: "Just go ahead, just go ahead."

Ye Shengxin turned around and got into the carriage with a lot of frustration. Everything he saw was unpleasant to him, and he kicked the wheel as if to vent his anger.

It was also her bad luck that she kicked the ankle instead of the sole of her foot.

With a "click", the extremely subtle sound was drowned out by Ye Shengxin's scream of pain.

"Ouch, my foot, I hope my foot is not broken."

The carriage had just stopped and Prime Minister Shangguan, who was about to get off, heard Ye Shengxin's wailing. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he could roughly guess it.

Lord Ye must have made a wasted trip and injured his foot by kicking something in anger.

If this happened to a normal person, the pain would probably go away after two days, but Ye Shengxin had to say something more, now he's in trouble.

Specifies a fracture.

"Master, master, how are you?" Dongshi ran over anxiously, "I will take you back to the mansion immediately, and Madam Sanchun will definitely cure you."

He carefully helped Ye Shengxin into the carriage.

After a burst of pain, Ye Shengxin suppressed his cold sweat and said, "I won't go back home. I'll go to a nearby clinic. Going back home will waste time."

Ye Shengxin's excuse was reasonable, so Dong Shi didn't think much about it and drove the carriage quickly to a nearby clinic.

The doctor in the clinic looked at the young man with half his face covered and felt strange. After giving her a simple examination of her ankle, he asked Ye Shengxin about the cause of her leg injury.

After Ye Shengxin finished telling the story while gasping for breath, the old doctor, who was over fifty years old, was silent for a long time.

Ye Shengxin was very nervous, "Doctor, is my leg okay? It should be just a superficial injury, right?"

The old doctor took a deep look at Ye Xingxin, who was only willing to show half of his face, and shook his head regretfully, "Young Master does have a broken bone."

Ye Shengxin looked miserable, it was true.

She said her ankle was getting more and more painful.

The old doctor comforted her: "Although your condition is not common, it can be cured in three months. When your leg bones are healed, I will prescribe some soup medicine for you to strengthen your tendons and bones."

"This bone is too brittle. You may have problems walking, jumping, and running in the future."

Ye Shengxin lowered her head, and she understood very well in her heart that what the old doctor meant was that in all the years he had been treating patients, she was the only one who was unlucky enough to break her bones by kicking a wheel.

I covered my face in frustration. It's true that people can't have things go too smoothly. If they do, problems will arise.

Under the canopy, the prince felt very sorry for Ye Xingxin's plight, but still ordered: "Spread the news, and let those nervous ministers feel relieved."

Eunuch Lin took the order and left.

Prime Minister Shangguan asked worriedly: "Lord Ye's broken legs and feet, will it affect the subsequent Wancai Competition?"

You know, it might take three months until the Wancai Competition starts. By then, Ye Shengxin, as the top scholar of the Great Zhou Kingdom, will have to participate even if he doesn't want to.

To be honest, if there are problems with the legs and feet by then, it will be a shame for the reputation of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The prince didn't care much about this. If he was more worried about Ye Shengxin's talent than his legs and feet, he should be more worried about Ye Shengxin's talent.

Although An and Wang were dealt with, no one among the people he instigated dared to mention the matter again, but not mentioning it does not mean it does not exist.

If the Dongli Kingdom finds out that the top scholar they carefully selected is mediocre in literary talent, they will probably laugh their heads off.

Thinking of this, the prince's brows unconsciously showed a lot of worry.

Master Tongshan was also here today. Seeing this, he twisted his Buddhist beads and smiled gently and calmly: "Your Highness, don't worry. Although Lord Ye is not good at poetry and essays, he is a man of quick thinking. Besides, this competition is not just about poetry and essays."

"Master Ye may be able to shine in other directions."

"If you only focus on one path, your vision will be narrow."

The prince was surprised and wanted to ask more, but when he saw Master Tongshan lowering his head and looking unwilling to say more, he shut up.

It's better not to say it, at least he took the pill of reassurance.

-

Ye Shengxin was busy until almost noon before returning home, and he came back in a wheelchair, which really scared Old Mrs. Ye.

With tears in her eyes, she grabbed Ye Xingxin's hand and cried out in pain, "My precious grandson."

Ye Xingxin took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears of the old lady who loved her so much. "Don't worry, grandma. I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few months. It won't hurt."

"I also promise that I will pay attention next time."

He said several nice words and finally gave the old lady the only big pearl in his hand. Only then did the old lady stop crying.

After sitting with Ye Shengxin in her yard until the afternoon and preparing a lot of nourishing food for her, the old lady finally felt tired and was coaxed by Ye Shengxin to go back and rest.

For dinner, Ye Shengxin had white porridge and vegetables, while Emperor Jingming and Zhang Xiangyun had hotpot.

Zhang Xiangyun felt sorry for Ye Shengxin's situation. While eating, he tried to think of ways to cure Ye Shengxin's leg as soon as possible.

Emperor Jingming felt distressed at first, but after knowing the whole story, all the distress disappeared.

He only warned Ye Xingxin: "Don't say unlucky words to yourself in the future."

This made Ye Shengxin obedient but confused at the same time.

What do you mean?

Could it be possible that she could bring disaster upon herself by saying something unlucky?

How can it be!

Thinking back to what she said before she broke her bone today, there wasn't anything unlucky about it, right?

Since Ye Shengxin couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother thinking about it. Before going to bed at night, he heard Dong Shi outside the door report that Zhang Changlin had returned from work, and he nodded.

When he was in so much pain that he was groggy and unable to sleep, Ye Shengxin thought to himself that he didn't know how big a stir would be caused in the court and the capital tomorrow.
