Chapter 71 71. Madam Ye, that is the imperial ration! (Please read on!)

but.

A scene that shocked Jiang Fuling happened.

Just as she took a step and was about to go back to her room, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.

When he turned around, he saw Master Ning looking at his face.

Those pure and deep eyes immediately made her fall into them, and she looked panicked but couldn't extricate herself.

"Master Ning..."

"Fu Ling, you don't need to change. You are more familiar with Yonghang City. Follow me and show me the way. I have something for you to do."

Ning Mu said to Jiang Fuling, whose face suddenly became rosy and beautiful eyes sparkled.

Jiang Fuling lowered her head nervously and shyly.

This was the first time she had her wrist held by a man like this.

So powerful!
That kind of heat could make her melt.

"Okay...Okay, Fu Ling, I'll just follow your orders..."

……

at the same time.

Prefect's Mansion.

Back hall, side hall.

The prefect Pi Taiyu, dressed in official uniform, walked in with a warm look on his face.

The sound has already been transmitted before the person has even stepped over the threshold.

"Mrs. Ye is visiting. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I was busy with two cases just now and was unable to welcome you in person. Please forgive me, Madam!"

Seeing Pi Taiyu coming in, Liu Qingmei, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and clasped her fists and said, "You are too kind, Pi Taiyu. Your Excellency is busy with all kinds of affairs every day. It is a blessing for us common people. The people of Yonghang are very lucky to have you governing Yonghang."

As the wife of the owner of Cangjian Villa, a well-known figure in the martial arts world, Liu Qingmei has the confidence to refuse to kneel before an official.

The imperial court and the underworld complement each other.

Although they were common people, they received little favor from the imperial court, so officials naturally did not dare to offend the martial arts tycoons too much.

When you are an official, you are in charge of an area.

But these tycoons and masters are permanent hereditary rulers and are the most powerful in the martial arts world within their jurisdictions.

Strictly speaking, these officials even need to rely on the powerful martial arts families on certain levels.

Therefore, even though Pi Taiyu was the governor of a state, he did not dare to neglect Liu Qingmei easily.

"Mrs. Ye, you are so polite. Please take a seat."

Pi Taiyu gestured to Liu Qingmei to sit down, and then asked the servants to serve tea.

Then he looked at Liu Qingmei and asked, "I wonder what Madam Ye has come to do for you?"

Liu Qingmei said, "It's not your call. When I entered the city yesterday, I found that the disaster victims were pouring into the city but were blocked by soldiers. I came here to ask the governor if there are any relief and resettlement measures for the increasing number of disaster victims?"

"Your Excellency is very busy, but those disaster victims are your people after all. If they are not helped and disciplined, they may cause chaos over time. Although I am asking for help as a disaster victim, I am actually asking for your consideration. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

Liu Qingmei clasped her fists, her attitude neither humble nor arrogant, and there was a hint of flattery in her words.

Pi Taiyu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed his brows.

He smiled calmly, motioned Liu Qingmei to drink tea, and said at the same time: "Mrs. Ye, it is a noble cause to plead for the people. How could this governor be surprised? But..."

"I have sent the memorial requesting disaster relief from the imperial court over 800 miles to the capital. It will take time for the relief money to be delivered to Yonghang. Madam Ye, rest assured. We are all subjects of the imperial court. I will certainly not ignore it. Once the relief money and grain arrive, I will definitely provide relief to the victims as soon as possible."

Pi Taiyu spoke in an official tone and looked at Liu Qingmei with a smile.

Liu Qingmei raised her eyebrows slightly and hesitated for a moment. She still couldn't hold back her anger and said as tactfully as possible: "Yonghang is a wealthy place. I have heard that there is surplus grain in the granaries such as Taihe Granary, Zhengji Granary, and Yongning Granary. Why doesn't the governor open the granaries and release the grain to help the victims? When the imperial edict arrives, we will speak for the governor. By then, the governor will have done a great deed and be promoted to the capital. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Pi Taiyu frowned, his smile disappeared, and with a hint of anger in his tone, he shouted: "Madam Ye, that is the emperor's food!"

But he immediately put on a smile and clasped his fists, saying, "Madam Ye, don't worry about the victims. I have already worked with many merchants including the Chairman of the Grain Association, He Daqian, and the local gentry to lend a hand and tide over the difficulties together. I think we should be able to hold out for a while before the court provides relief."

Hearing this, Liu Qingmei finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great. Thank you for your hard work, Governor. This is a small gift from me to help the victims. I hope you will accept it. It can be regarded as a small thing that my Ye family can do for the victims."

Liu Qingmei took out a silver note and handed it to Pi Taiyu.

Five thousand taels.

She had specially returned to the Ye family mansion this morning and withdrawn the money from the account.

Because of Ye Bonan's betrayal, all the businesses left the Ye family, and there was not much money left in the account of Yonghang Mansion.

Pi Taiyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ye is very thoughtful. On behalf of the victims, I would like to thank the Ye family for their generosity."

After some polite greetings.

Liu Qingmei stood up and said goodbye.

Watching Liu Qingmei leave, Pi Taiyu put the banknotes directly into his pocket.

"Master, isn't this what Madam Ye gave to the disaster victims..."

At this time, a graceful woman walked out from behind the curtain. Seeing her master taking the banknote for himself, she couldn't help but ask.

Pi Taiyu turned around.

When he saw that it was his favorite concubine, Yu Ji, walking towards him, he couldn't help but smile and reached out to hold her in his arms.

This little goblin is becoming more and more charming.

"What do you know? If the Ye family wants to take advantage of this righteous cause, they naturally have to pay for it. These five thousand taels are just an entry fee. Besides, the relief for the disaster victims is provided by the imperial court, the grain association, and the people in Yonghang City. Why should she, a martial arts sect, be in such a hurry? Isn't it because the Ye family has been facing many risks recently, and they want to use this as a breakthrough point to earn some righteous reputation?"

……

"Do you understand what I taught you?"

the other side.

East Market.

In a private room on the second floor of a restaurant.

Ning Mu looked at the women standing in several rows, each of them dressed gorgeously and coolly.

It can even be said that the clothes are too vulgar.

"Sir, I understand everything."

"Ah..."

The charming prostitutes nodded one after another, and their eyes were full of charm when they looked at Ning Mu.

But the untimely sneeze made Ning Mu turn his eyes away.

"Have you caught a cold? Don't go, go back to Hua Man Pavilion and rest. It's still a bit cold today, and wearing so little will make the cold worse."

Ning Mu said to the prostitute who sneezed.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I can do it. Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes!"

The prostitute's face immediately turned red, and she made the promise nervously.

"obedient!"

Ning Mu frowned, looked at Jiang Fuling who was standing beside him, and said, "Let her go back and rest!"

"Xiaoyan, listen to the master and go back!" Jiang Fuling nodded and said to the prostitute named Xiaoyan.

"Thank you for your concern..." Xiaoyan bowed gratefully and said goodbye to her sisters reluctantly.

"Okay, let's get moving!"

After Xiaoyan left, Ning Mu clapped his hands and spoke to the group of charming and seductive women who exuded rich fragrance all over their bodies.

"Yes~"

next moment.

Then I saw nineteen women, holding fans decorated with flowers, walking down the stairs with laughter and joy, and then they formed groups of three or two and merged into the bustling long street downstairs...
