Chapter 701 Kill two birds with one stoneYan Haitang covered her face and yelled, "Who is this old woman who dares to hit me? Don't you know whose house this is?" He immediately ordered his maid: "Min'er, fan it back for me!" Min'er stepped forward and just as she raised her hand, she was slapped back by Tong's mother. With a snap, he was knocked dizzy. Caiyu took the opportunity to kick him again. Min'er immediately fell to the ground and looked at Fu Minghe with aggrieved eyes. Seeing this situation, Yan Funing was stunned. "Nonsense!" Fu Er stomped his cane and glared at Fu Zhengqing, "Why did you rush to find us?" Seeing that his son was only wearing his undershirt, he looked at Fu Ciyi's official robe, which was purple. Fu Er was confused, frowned, and pointed his cane at Fu Ciyi.

"You unfilial son, you didn't show courtesy to the elders when they came over, and you even sat there? Don't think that you can come back to my Fu family smoothly just because you are an official in Beijing. You are dreaming!" Lu Wenfeng stood up and introduced: "The second old master is pointing at the imperial envoy sent by the court. Your son Fu Zhengqing has been demoted to a commoner for accepting bribes." "It can be said that, except for Fu Minghe who has the status of a scholar, all the others in the second branch of the Fu family are in white clothes." "Therefore, you should all bow when you see Master Fu." As he said this, he bowed towards Fu Ciyi. Everyone in the second branch of the Fu family was shocked. Fu Minghe couldn't believe it: "Impossible, even if he won the first prize, how could he climb so fast?" "Master Fu has made many contributions. He is now in charge of the Imperial Academy and concurrently serves as the cabinet." Lu Wenfeng snorted coldly, "How can you who sell official positions and titles dream of such a speed?" Everyone in the second room looked at each other. Fu Ciyi is now a powerful official, and he is also serving as an imperial envoy under the emperor's order. No wonder he has the power to dismiss and appoint county officials. At this time, the county lieutenant also stood up and said, "What County Magistrate Lu said is very true. Mr. Fu is young and promising. He is a role model for our generation." Fu Zhengqing cursed: "Bah, you fence-sitter!" "This county lieutenant is a man of insight and wisdom." The county lieutenant snorted, "Fu Zhengqing, I haven't told you in detail how you accepted money from a wealthy family." Fu Minghe frowned and walked up to Fu Zhengqing and said, "Dad, you lost your official position. Did Lu Wenfeng take it?" Ever since Lu Wenfeng was demoted to Ling County, he woke up from his dreams with a smile almost every day. It was once said that Lu Wenfeng followed the wrong person, Fu Ciyi, and that being demoted was Lu's own fault. I didn't expect that my family would be attacked by someone who would cut off their financial support. Fu Zhengqing nodded. The situation at this moment was beyond his expectations.

Just now he was still scolding Lu Wenfeng, but now this kid named Lu has become the official of Ling County. Seeing that the county magistrate and the county lieutenant had spoken, Liu Cai felt that he should say something even though he was promoted by Lord Fu and had no experience in officialdom. Then he stood up and said, "Fu Zhengqing is a corrupt person. In my opinion, he is well demoted." "How can it be your turn to speak?" Fu Er shouted angrily. Lu Wenfeng smiled: "The head of Qingshan Town is now the county magistrate of Ling County, why doesn't he have a say?" The faces of the three men in the second room, old, middle-aged and young, turned pale and blue. Fu Er's wife and Fu Zhengqing's wife stood aside, looking worried. Only Yan Haitang felt extremely uncomfortable. If the elders had not plotted to use someone else's trick, it would have been her who married Fu Ciyi, and it would naturally be her who is sitting next to him now. What does that little bitch Yan Funing have to do with it? Fu Ciyi straightened his official robe and spoke slowly, "Let's not talk about government affairs at the moment, let's talk about personal matters." He slowly took out his grandfather's will, slowly unfolded it, and spread it on the table. "This house is divided into two gardens, east and west. My grandfather's will clearly states that only the west garden and the properties under its name belong to the second branch, while the east garden and all the properties under my grandfather's name belong to Fu Wanniang and her three children." As he spoke, he picked up the will and pointed to the seal on it. "This is the official seal of the county government. It shows that my grandfather specially had it notarized by the county government after he wrote his will." "Fu Er, Fu Zhengqing, you are trying to embezzle the money. I reserve the right to pursue you for this." "Now that the East Garden is in ruins, we order the West Garden to invest and restore it to its original state as soon as possible." Having said that, Fu Ciyi stood up. If the emperor had not wanted to express his attitude, he would have intended to keep Fu Zhengqing's family and get rid of them all after clarifying some of the doubts in his mind. Now he really has no energy to waste time on such trivial matters as his property, and only hopes to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Lu Wenfeng cupped his hands and said, "Since the will was stamped by the county government, and the one who attempted to embezzle the property was the former county magistrate, then the county government is obliged to order the restoration of Dongyuan to its original state." Fu Ciyi nodded: "Thank you very much, Lord Lu." Lu Wenfeng said, "Don't bother. I will do my best to count and return the old master's assets to their proper places." Fu Ciyi pondered for a moment and said, "My grandfather's property has been occupied by the second branch for several years. When the profits are counted, if there is a shortfall, please ask the county government to order Xiyuan to make up for it." Lu Wenfeng nodded again: "If there is a shortage, it should be made up according to the law." Fu Ciyi added calmly, "No matter how much the profit is, 50% of it will be donated to the county government. I hope the county government will use this money to help the poor people in Ling County." Upon hearing this, Lu Wenfeng immediately led the county magistrate and the county lieutenant to bow and said, "The officials of Ling County would like to thank Master Fu on behalf of the people!" The people from the second branch of the Fu family looked ashen. They spent the money as it should have been spent, and hid the money as it should have been hidden.

Now if I were to pay it back, it would be like cutting flesh from my heart. It has to be said that Fu Ciyi was a very cunning person. Once he donated 50% of the profits, he donated it to the county government and the people. The county government would certainly keep an eye on their second branch all the time, and so would the common people. At that time, not only would they have to pay out all their money, but if they failed to do so, or paid out too little, it would be tantamount to pushing their second branch to the opposite side of the entire Ling County. This move is extremely treacherous! Hearing this, Yan Funing stood up and looked at Fu Ciyi with a smile. The way he handled this time could, on the one hand, disgust the second branch of the Fu family to the greatest extent, and on the other hand, do good things for the Ling County government and the people. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. high! It’s really high! Fu Ciyi extended his hand toward her. Yan Funing obediently placed her hand in his palm. The two took the lead and walked forward. Seeing how affectionate they were, Yan Haitang became furious and wanted to trip Yan Funing. Then he motioned to Min'er to stretch out her legs. Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing did not see their master-servant conspiracy, but Yan Bojian did. He walked over quickly, stopped in front of his sister, and glared at Min Er: "Want to trip my sister?" Min Er shook her head: "No, I didn't." Seeing that the handsome young man called Xiaotizi "sister", Yan Haitang felt that her purpose of tripping Yan Funing had been ruined, so she sneered immediately. "Yan Funing, I thought you were very capable, but it turns out you're only good at seducing people. Having a handsome husband isn't enough, you've even hooked up with other handsome men." Although the second branch of the Fu family suffered a setback at this moment, she actually didn't feel much. After all, the Yan family is still the richest family in Ling County. Fu Minghe was down and out, so he could only follow her with all his heart. The Yan family had a lot of money, so it was still feasible for them to donate an official position to Fu Minghe. At this moment, as long as she could make Yan Funing angry, she would win. Yan Funing chuckled and turned to look at Yan Bojian: "Third brother, listen to this."
