Although Chen Xinxiu disliked Chen Xinyu, for Xiao Yanxi, the two of them were united, so she nodded seriously and said, "Indeed, Miss Xie has a good singing voice."

After saying that, the two looked at each other.

They couldn't wait to see Xie Fanjin being ravaged by the two old men in turn.

Xie Fanjin raised his eyelids and glanced at the two people, his eyes looking as if he was looking at fools.

Prefect Xu and Prefect Ren did not speak, but just looked at Cheng Gang.

Cheng Gang immediately made the decision: "Xie Fanjin, then you should sing a song for us. It won't be in vain. If the two adults are happy, they will definitely express their gratitude."

Xie Fanjin snorted, with a half-smile: "Then I wonder how much the two adults would like to express?"

Her words confused everyone. What did this mean? She was asking for a price so blatantly. How was she different from a prostitute in a brothel?

Xu Zhifu laughed dryly and took out a purse from his pocket: "How about these?"

The purse was heavy and looked like it contained a lot of silver.

Ren Zhizhou hesitated for a moment and also took out a silver ingot.

Xie Fanjin looked down on it: "This is too little."

Several people's faces turned ugly. Old Madam Chen cursed: "I have lived for most of my life and have never seen such a shameless person. Today I have really opened my eyes."

Madam Chen Er: "What kind of person is this? She's living and eating at someone else's house. She's just an exiled maid, and she's asking for a price. If she pays more, can she really sleep with her for a night?"

Old Master Chen sighed and looked at Xiao Yanxi with dissatisfaction. It was outrageous that Xiao Yanxi allowed her maid to be so arrogant.

If Xie Fanjin stole the limelight from the Chen family girl, wouldn't the matter he had agreed upon with the prefect go awry?

Chen Xinyu smiled. It didn't matter if Xie Fanjin asked for a sky-high price. If he asked for too much and sang the song badly, the two adults would definitely not let Xie Fanjin go easily.

Cheng Gang immediately stood up and was about to scold Xie Fanjin, but Ren Zhizhou motioned Cheng Gang to sit down, then asked in a good-tempered tone, "So, how much do you think it would cost to sing a song for you?"

Xie Fanjin said calmly, "At least three hundred thousand taels."

After these words were spoken, it was not only Lord Xu and Prefect Ren who changed their expressions.

Everyone knew that the 300,000 taels that Xie Fanjin mentioned was the silver allocated by the imperial court to Zhongzhou for river repairs two years ago.

Now Zhongzhou is flooded, and most of the land has suffered from floods. People are displaced, countless people are killed and injured, houses have collapsed, and farmland has been destroyed. Xie Fanjin must have a deeper meaning when he asked for the 300,000 taels at this time.

Ren Zhizhou slammed the table with a grim expression and stood up: "Come here, this maidservant is unruly and making trouble. Drag her out and beat her to death with sticks!"

She's just a maid, and she's really being given face.

Even if it was the deposed crown prince Xiao Yanxi, killing him would only take a word.

Even at this point, Xie Fanjin wasn't the least bit flustered. Instead, he sneered, "You corrupt officials, you exploit the people, you embezzle and pervert the law. Now the people are homeless and starving, and you're still interested in eating, drinking, and having fun. Aren't you afraid that the souls of those who died tragically will come to seek revenge?"

Xiao Yanxi's expression changed slightly. Xie Fanjin angered the two corrupt officials at this time. Could it be that he guessed what would happen next?

After Xie Fanjin said this, Xu Zhifu could no longer sit still and immediately shouted, "Come quickly, shut this bitch's mouth and beat her up!"

If these words were to get to the ears of outsiders, he and all the officials in Zhongzhou would be beheaded.

Prefect Xu looked around at everyone present and made a decision: all these outsiders must die!

At this moment, a person rushed in from outside.

The visitor was terrified: "Sir, sir, something bad has happened! Those refugees from Zhongzhou have come to your house to cause trouble!"

Xie Fanjin stood up and pulled Xiao Yanxi back to the wall.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Chen San, although puzzled, pulled Chen Xinyuan and Xiao Zhenzhen aside.

Before everyone had digested the news brought by the servants, there was a sudden noise outside.

"The dog official lives here. I heard that the prefect is also here. Let's go in and avenge our dead relatives!"

Someone shouted, and hundreds of people echoed: "Charge in, kill the dog official... Charge in... Kill the dog official, avenge our loved ones..."

The victims rushed in swarming, weapons in their hands, looking very aggressive. The people in the house were so scared that they ran away in all directions, screaming.

The victims immediately targeted Prefect Xu and Prefect Ren, rushed over and started to attack them.

Ren Zhizhou and Xu Zhifu were in a state of panic and desperately shouted, "Help!"

One of the victims kicked Ren Zhizhou hard: "Don't shout anymore, we've already taken down those lackeys. Now it's your turn!"

The two men were horrified, and Ren Zhizhou could only ask Cheng Gang for help: "Brother Cheng Gang, quickly get your people to help!"

Cheng Gang hesitated for a moment, and before he could speak, some of the victims had surrounded the officials under his command!

One of the victims yelled at the top of his lungs: "You are not from here, so be f*cking quiet, or we will be rude to you!"

Those officers were armed and indeed were not afraid of the victims, but there were too many of them and they could not kill them all.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Xie Fanjin gave Xiao Yanxi a look, and the two of them climbed out the window and went out.

Xiao Yanxi asked: "Where are we going?"

Xie Fanjin said, "It's said that a clean prefecture can earn 100,000 silver taels in three years. This prefect Ren is definitely not a good person. The silver he embezzled must be more than 100,000. If we don't take it away, why should we keep it for them?"

It would be better to use this money to help the victims instead of leaving it to those corrupt officials to squander. At least it can be considered as doing good deeds.

Xie Fanjin took Xiao Yanxi around for a long time, and then stopped next to a toilet.

Xiao Yanxi was a little surprised: "The money he embezzled wouldn't be in here, right?"

Xie Fanjin pinched his nose and said, "Of course, someone has to dig to the bottom."

Xiao Yanxi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that his men couldn't find where Zhizhou Ren hid the silver.

Xie Fanjin suddenly thought of something: "We two aren't suitable for this kind of thing, are we?"

Xiao Yanxi raised his eyebrows slightly, took out a whistle from his body and blew it twice. Not long after, several men in black came.

"master!"

The visitors all knelt on the ground. Although their faces were serious, they were all confused.

When the master's life was in danger, no one called them out. Today, this man is still fine, why summon them here?

Then, Xiao Yanxi's eyes fell on the toilet in front of him: "Dig."

Everyone: "..."

If Xiao Yanxi asked them to go through fire and water, they would do it without blinking an eye.

Digging a toilet, this...

Xie Fanjin looked around, found a direction, gave Xiao Yanxi a look, and Xiao Yanxi immediately followed quickly.

The two people turned quietly into a small courtyard. As soon as they stepped in, an unspeakable sound came from the room.

Not only was Xie Fanjin not shy, he even leaned over to the window and poked a hole in it.

The scene inside was really eye-catching. A man was pressing a woman under him. The woman's yellow bellyband was held on the man's head, and the two people were passionately intertwined.

Xiao Yanxi's expression turned grim. He grabbed Xie Fanjin by the collar and pulled him aside. "Did you call me here just to see this?"
