"Hmph! If you really want to cause trouble, Qin will still be incompatible with you even if he risks his life and wealth."
Qin Hao suppressed the anger in his heart.
Like a volcano about to erupt.
"It's a good thing to dig the lake, why don't you take a gentler approach?"
"How can the behavior of taking away someone's property and destroying someone's ancestral home be gentle?"
Ye Qing stretched out his hand to grab a chair and sat down with Qin Ruoshuang in his arms.
"Lian Zhou Meng and Wang Tao, two local snakes, still need coercion, coercion, and inducements to vacate this area."
"You can imagine how difficult it is. If Mr. Qin you have gentle means, I will stop them."
"this……"
Qin Hao's momentum froze and he couldn't find a reason to refute.
But!
Yunhai County has been suffering from drought and little rain since ancient times. What’s the use of having lakes but no water?
With a change of tone, he changed his angle and asked again.
“After digging the lake, where does the water in the lake come from?”
"Just because there is no water on the ground does not mean there is no water deep underground. It naturally comes from the ground!"
Ye Qing waved his hand to gather the water vapor, condensing a stream of clear water.
However, he did not explain that extensive exploitation of groundwater would lead to lowering of groundwater levels.
"It's not difficult to use my martial arts to forcefully extract underground water and turn the well into a spring."
really!
Things that ordinary people cannot do are just a piece of cake for some powerful warriors.
Looking at the clear water lingering around Ye Qing's fingers, Qin Hao always felt that he had overlooked something.
Yes!
Since underground water can be extracted within the city, why not outside the city?
If a lake is built outside the city, why occupy people's land and seize people's ancestral homes?
This person is trying to benefit his own interests, or he is deceiving them.
Qin Hao's anger that was about to extinguish rekindled again.
"Why do you insist on building a lake inside the city? Wouldn't it be easier to build a lake outside the city?"
"I built the lake, first of all, to facilitate my enjoyment and play, and secondly, to solve the drinking water problem."
Ye Qing made no secret of his thoughts and purposes.
He doesn't mind doing something nice along the way.
But we will never sacrifice our own interests in order to do good things.
"Master Qin, you don't think that I, an innate master, would waste my energy all day long, sitting in the wild, pumping water for others without expecting anything in return, do you?"
"..."
Qin Hao was speechless.
Don't mention him, he is the founding emperor of the Dongxuan Empire.
It is also impossible to force an innate warrior to spend all his energy and sit in the wild to work for a group of ordinary people who have no relatives or friends.
"Master, Ruoshuang was wrong!"
Qin Ruoshuang admitted her mistake in a low voice.
She wanted to divert Ye Qing's attention and save some face for her father.
"Oh! Now you know it was wrong? When you bit me just now, I thought you were going to eat my flesh?"
Ye Qing understood the thoughts of the person in his arms.
But power is unforgiving.
If you don’t mention conditions or requirements now, what are you waiting for?
"Ruoshuang, how do you think I should punish you?"
Punishment?
Qin Ruoshuang's body trembled.
Injuring a master with a servant is a serious crime in the Dongxuan Empire. Even if he is killed on the spot, no one will blame him.
All kinds of criminal laws that she had heard about in the past appeared in her mind one by one.
It's been a while!
Only then did she overcome the fear in her heart.
"Ruoshuang was wrong. Whether the young master hit or scolded him, Ruoshuang will admit it."
"This is what you said, let's go, follow me out!"
Ye Qing felt happy.
Due to physical strength issues, although I can only watch and cannot move for the time being, I can still do it once I get over the eye addiction.
There are so many beautiful styles of clothes in my memory, which one should I let the person in my arms wear?
He let go of the man in his arms and walked towards the courtyard door first.
"Shuang'er..."
Mrs. Qin couldn't help shouting in a low voice.
I want to stop my daughter.
"Mom, there are some things that we can't hide from. We can only face them."
Qin Ruoshuang's eyes were firm, like a prisoner about to go to the execution ground.
As for that?
It was just a little quarrel, why did it end up like a life-and-death separation?
Ye Qing suppressed his laughter, turned around and said again.
"By the way, Ruoshuang, you go and get some money. We have to choose a good piece of cloth."
boom!
Like a bolt from the blue, the color drained from the faces of Qin Hao and his wife.
Qin Ruoshuang stayed where she was.
"Master, if you want to execute Ruoshuang, can you let..."
"Wait, who is going to execute you? Who will take care of me if you die?"
Ye Qing realized that something was wrong, that there seemed to be some misunderstanding.
"I just want to buy a good piece of cloth and make you some nice-looking clothes. Although the material is a bit small, I just want you to wear it in private for me to see. This punishment shouldn't be severe, right?"
make clothes?
The three people of the Qin family had complicated expressions in their eyes.
Looking back and forth at Ye Qing in front of him, do you suspect that he is pretending to be stupid?
How can a dignified county magistrate not understand the laws of the empire? Don’t you know the rules of powerful people?
Maybe I really don’t understand, I don’t know.
Qin Hao thought of the key to the problem.
Normally, he would have scolded Ye Qing angrily.
But now he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making his whole body feel chilly.
The man in front of me doesn't even know the basics of being an official. How did he get the title of county magistrate?
Don't be faked by gangsters.
With a sense of luck, Qin Hao began to verify.
"Master Ye, you don't seem to understand the laws of the empire, nor the rules of powerful people?"
"How did you know?"
Ye Qing had no intention of pretending to understand, and had no intention of hiding anything.
"Because hurting the master with a servant is a serious crime according to the laws of the empire. The lighter punishment can be expulsion, and the worst punishment can be death with a rod. However, in order to show the majesty of the master's family, most people are killed with a rod instead of expulsion."
"The bodies of male servants who were killed with a stick from powerful families were usually wrapped in straw mats, and the bodies of maids who were killed with a stick were usually wrapped in cloth."
At this point, Qin Hao was so angry that he smiled.
It's ridiculous that he spent his whole life serving the country and the people, and it was enough to be framed and demoted. Even his daughter might have been deceived and became a maid of a gangster.
God was so unfair to him.
"You don't even know this, tell me! Where is the real Magistrate of Yunhai County?"
"Why are you so loud! That unlucky guy should be dead if nothing else happens!"
Rubbing his ears, Ye Qing whispered the truth.
That look and demeanor seemed to be talking about small things like eating and drinking.
What? died?
Qin Hao stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Killing a court official and taking office under a false name was a serious crime that implicated the nine clans.
"You... you... aren't you afraid that the imperial court will find out, destroy your school, and kill your nine clans?"
After standing firm, Qin Hao pointed at Ye Qing and was speechless.
Qin Ruoshuang, mother and daughter, were also stunned by the information contained in the words.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Ye Qing looked indifferent.
Several Yunhai County magistrates had died before and no one cared about them.
Unless the emperor at that time was out of his mind, he would do it for such a trivial matter.
Send out the master-level warriors who sit in the imperial court or mobilize an elite army of warriors to arrest him and hold him accountable.
What's more, even if he can't fight, can't he still run?
The worst thing is, I can just change places with my maid and continue to live my life.
"Young Master...you killed the new Yunhai County Magistrate and replaced him under your name?"
Qin Ruoshuang felt like the sky was falling, and her voice was trembling.
Unexpectedly, she made the decision for the first time.
He misjudged the wrong person, deceived his parents, and ruined his father's reputation.
"Ruoshuang, what are you talking about?"
Ye Qing was not happy anymore.
In front of the county government office, he clearly stated his name.
There is no such thing as impersonation.
"I didn't kill that unfortunate guy, nor did I pretend to be him. At most, I took his position."
What?
Qin Ruoshuang felt that things were turning around, as if she saw a ray of fire in the darkness.
Is there another secret behind this matter?
Could it be that she misunderstood the person in front of her again?
