Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 49 Zhu Di's Reward

Wanping County Government!

Guo Anzheng, the county magistrate, was dragging his chin with one hand, dozing up and down on the table, with a faint trace of crystal clear wire hanging on the corner of his mouth!
"County Honor, County Honor..."

Wang Zhen walked in with a strange expression on his face.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Guo An was startled, sat up straight quickly, and looked at Wang Zhen with some blame.

Wang Zhen was already accustomed to this kind of look, walked directly in front of Guo An, and said in a low voice: "His Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan suddenly summoned a court meeting yesterday afternoon, and both the chief secretary and the chief steward of King Yan's palace were punished by His Highness.

As for the Master Bo, Dianbao, Dianchu, Treasury Ambassador, Gongzhengsuo... More than 20 royal court officials and eunuchs were ransacked by His Highness! "

"hiss……"

Guo An couldn't help but gasped, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Zhen in disbelief.

"More than 20 palace officials and eunuchs have been ransacked?"

"This matter is absolutely true, almost all officials in the entire Beiping Mansion know about it!" Wang Zhen said.

Guo An licked his lips, looked at Wang Zhen nervously, and said, "Do you know what crimes those officials whose homes were ransacked committed?"

Wang Zhen replied honestly: "It seems to be because of corruption!"

"Corruption..."

Guo An nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "How are the remaining officials in the palace?"

"Everyone is in danger, and some are terrified!"

Wang Zhen grinned ferociously and said, "Those thieves are really daring, they don't know how to live or die, and they dare to covet money under King Yan. Don't you know that His Royal Highness Yan and the emperor have the same character, and the most important thing is not to see someone corrupt?"

As he said that, Wang Zhen couldn't help but put his head in front of Guo An, and asked curiously: "His Highness, your Highness left you in the study a few days ago, but is it related to this matter?"

"Fucking...you fart!"

Guo An was directly furious, "What does His Highness have to do with punishing his subordinates for corruption?"

Wang Zhen couldn't help but nodded, "The lower official also thinks so, this matter should have nothing to do with you!"

Guo An's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked at Wang Zhen, "But did someone ask you about this?"

Wang Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the county lord, no one has asked the lower officials about this matter!"

"Ok!"

Guo An then nodded in relief.

Suddenly, a panicked voice came from outside the door: "His Majesty, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan is here!"

"The king of Yan is here?"

Guo An was taken aback.

Wang Zhen, on the other hand, gave Guo An a weird look, and then ran out quickly.

It's a pity that Zhu Di opened the door and walked in before he got out of the house.

Outside the house, there are a group of officials from the county government, standing aside respectfully.

"Your Majesty sees His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"The last general sees His Highness!"

Wang Zhen and Guo An hurriedly saluted Zhu Di respectfully.

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and went straight into the public room.

"I don't know if His Highness is here today..." Guo An asked cautiously.

At the same time, he couldn't help looking at the small wooden box that Zhu Liang was holding in his arms.

"Let all the officials outside go down!" Zhu Di said.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo An felt a little strange in his heart, and ordered to the officials outside.

"You all go down!"

Outside the public house, all the officials of the county government responded in unison, and disappeared without a trace outside the house in less than a while.

And this time, Zhu Di was already sitting on Guo An's official chair.

"Your Highness is here today, but do you have something to tell me?" Guo An asked tentatively.

"Bring it up!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Liang who was on the side.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Liang hurried forward and put the wooden box in his arms on the table!

The sound of 'dong' made Guo An's heart tighten, for fear that this heavy wooden box would crush his desk.

"Your Highness, what is in this wooden box?" Guo An couldn't help asking.

Zhu Di said: "This is the credit of the county magistrate Guo that the princess thought of, and I will give you a reward from this king!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Guo An hurriedly bowed respectfully in the direction of King Yan's Palace, and then felt that the bastard Wang Zhen on the side looked at him curiously again.

With a jump in his heart, he hurriedly bowed his hands to Zhu Di solemnly again.

"I would also like to thank Your Highness for sending these all the way to the lower official personally."

"It's a good thing that you, a thief officer, have a conscience!" Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

After speaking, he looked at the wooden box.

Guo An couldn't understand this kind of look, and asked him to open it face to face.

However, Guo An also had some vague guesses about the contents of the wooden box, but if he were to open it in front of everyone, it would be Wang Zhen again...

Ok?
Thinking about it, Guo An thought of something, and opening the wooden box in front of everyone might be a good thing.

Immediately, he slowly opened the wooden box, and his eyes could not help but light up.

On the other hand, Zhu Liang and Wang Zhen stared wide-eyed.

The entire wooden box was filled with a box of silver, and there was a wad of Daming banknotes on it.

"Your Highness, all these are for lower officials?" Guo An couldn't help but reconfirmed to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's face immediately sank, "Hmph, can I still lie to you?"

"But Your Highness, with so much money, I'm an official..."

Zhu Di said: "It's just 200 taels of silver, and two hundred guan banknotes of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the achievements you have made this time, these money are nothing to worry about!"

"so much?"

Guo An narrowed his eyes and quickly closed the wooden box.

Since he crossed over, apart from receiving a monthly salary, he hasn't had much contact with money, and he doesn't know much about money.

He didn't expect that such a small box in front of him actually contained 200 taels of silver, and there were also two hundred guan of Daming Banknotes.

"Thank you, Your Highness, this money is enough to feed the officials for three years!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di glared at Guo An with disgust on his face.

"This king has never seen such a money-greedy official like you. If you, a thief official, dare to be greedy, this king will definitely hand you over to Jin Yiwei to rectify the law!"

Guo An quickly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I can get money in a fair and honest manner, but I will never do the thing of exterminating the family!"

Zhu Di felt relieved, "You just need to understand!"

Guo An is also relieved, now he can live a relaxed life for at least two years.

However, Wang Zhen on the side kept looking at him with probing eyes, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Your Highness has rewarded the officials so much today, and the officials are very grateful. I wonder if I can invite Your Highness to a banquet again as a token of my gratitude!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

"Since you begged so much, this king will allow it!"

plead?

Guo An couldn't help but slander in his heart, he was really arrogant.

However, he quickly called in Guo Erniu from outside, and handed the box of money to Guo Erniu to take it back first, and asked Guo Erniang to buy more meat, cook a big meal, and entertain distinguished guests at night.

Guo Erniu ran back with a face full of joy.
