The Record of Righteousness

The sky is changing, even if it is night, you can still see the rolling clouds sweeping in under the moonlight.

In the end, even the weakest point of moonlight disappeared.

Then the wind howled into the darkness, and the pattering of raindrops gradually turned into a "bursting" downpour.

At this moment, the hall inside was not as stormy as outside. There was only the sound of raindrops hitting the ground.

At the top of the list was Wang Hao, the Shandong Supervisor of the imperial court.

There are separate banquet tables on both sides, with one person sitting cross-legged on each side.

On the right hand side are the officials of Shandong General Army Daqing, Baihu Wanqing, and Baihu Zhangrong.

On the left are senior generals who have made great achievements, the few remaining civil servants in Jinan Mansion, Fang Daqing's deputy generals, etc.

Jinan's wealthy businessmen, large sects, and small gangs all come together.

As the chief officer, Wang Hao wore a blue civil official robe, changing his past playboy look.

He also knew that this matter was related to the safety of his family and his life, and there was no room for carelessness.

In such a silent and solemn scene, Wang Hao covered his mouth and cleared his throat to break the silence.

"I am extremely pleased that all the virtuous people are able to do this."

"Now that the imperial court is in danger and the people are in dire straits, we, the subjects, should play our part and make a contribution."

"Then I will stop talking. I have nothing to do with you here. I just want to raise some silver from you."

Then he clapped his hands, and many gray-robed attendants came out from behind the scenes, carrying plates, and stood beside the nobles.

There was an official seal and a pardon document placed on the plate.

"You are all respectable people. I have made an agreement with you in advance. Those who pay three thousand taels of silver will be awarded the title of brave military captain by the imperial court and receive an official seal. From now on, they will be a fifth-rank official in the imperial court."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

I didn't expect this dog official to be so straightforward. Will he ask for money?

And the lion opened his mouth and asked for three thousand taels of silver? !

No one thought that this dog officer could be so neat and extort money from everyone.

Are you really treating us like fools?

Who cares about a mere school captain?

The fifth-rank official is just an empty shelf in name only, and has no use at all.

The whole scene fell into silence. No one dared to be the first to speak out. No one dared to move the fruits and delicacies in front of them.

As the head of the largest sect in Shandong, He Bayue also knew that Wang Hao could not lead this situation.

A little displeasure appeared on his face, and he said coldly:

"It's not like Lord Supervisor doesn't know that Shandong has suffered from natural and man-made disasters for many years, which makes business difficult."

"In addition, my disciples from the Taishan Sect can no longer afford the money, and I even want to pay them back. Isn't the Lord Supervisor asking for too much?"

Wang Hao's eyes were attracted by He Bayue.

After looking at this ordinary dark-skinned old man, he couldn't help but grinned and said:

"Congratulations, Master, your Taishan sect is the largest sect in Shandong, so you must have some background."

"Now you don't set an example by donating money, but you say irony. It really chills me."

"Besides, Head He has over 10,000 disciples. He gives them money and food but continues to recruit them. Do they want to work for the imperial court or do they have other plans?"

He Bayue frowned, never expecting that the supervisor could speak with such confidence!

Moreover, it has the intention of slandering oneself as having rebellious intentions.

As the head of the Taishan Sect, even the Chief Envoy of Shandong Province would give him a bit of a thumbs-down.

And this little supervisor looked like he was going to take him down when he heard the tone.

His slender eyes were narrowed, thinking that it was best to be careful when dealing with this person.

Instantly, He Bayue's displeasure faded, and then he laughed, clasped his fists and said relaxedly:

"Your Majesty, you are serious. This old man is about to die with his worthless bones. How dare he have any other plans."

"Recruiting some disciples is just to solve problems for the court. Please don't think otherwise, Lord Supervisor."

"As for fundraising, although I am the head of the Taishan Sect, I have left all the complicated accounting matters to my subordinates."

"If I want to know how much money I want to raise, I have to ask the elder in the accountant's office."

Wang Hao looked troubled.

"this"

He Buyue smiled and stroked his beard quite proudly.

Such a child with a yellow mouth does not eat as much salt as I do, but he still wants to take advantage of me, dreaming!

He looked at Wang Hao who was in difficulty and said with a smile:

"Master Supervisor, how about waiting for me to return from this banquet and tell the elder in charge to come back with money?"

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!

Everyone remained calm and did not want to be the first to do so, but they were all amazed by He Bayue's words.

This operation of kicking the ball with one hand softened the rigidity and easily defused Wang Hao's aggressive words.

Wang Hao secretly scolded this old guy for looking like a fool, but he didn't expect that his mind was really bright.

However, the heavy troops he had set up were already in place. This place was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den for He Batayue. I guess this old thing wouldn't be able to stay alive for long.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao's mouth curled up, and he felt a lot better.

"In that case, I will be waiting to congratulate the leader, hoping to bring good news after today."

"However, I still hope that Master He can punish himself by drinking three drinks, so that's all for today."

Wang Hao then signaled the maid to fill up He Bateyue's wine cup.

Who knew that Heba Yue grabbed the maid's hand and then clasped his fists to Wang Hao apologetically:
