outside.

A group of people surrounded Liang Yuanming and walked to a distance, and asked hurriedly: "What did His Highness say to you?"

"That's right, tell us about it."

"Forehead..."

Liang Yuanming looked at the expectant expressions of the crowd and suddenly became furious. He said unhappily, "If you want to know, just go ask His Highness yourself. Why ask me?"

"Liang Yuanming, I want to know what His Highness said to you."

Hearing this, Liang Yuanming turned his head and found that the other party was his immediate superior, Shi Daoqing, the Minister of the Honglu Temple.

"Master Shi?"

Liang Yuanming was helpless. His boss had spoken and he couldn't play dumb any longer. He could only recount in detail what had happened in the private room.

"As a person and an official, you should act uprightly and set an example?"

Everyone was confused for a moment when they heard this.

"Is this a reprimand?" someone asked in confusion.

"Your Highness even brushed the dust off his shoulders. Does that mean he wants to make an important contribution to him?" Another person expressed his thoughts.

"It's a reprimand and also a warning."

Shi Daoqing stepped forward and patted the dust off Liang Yuanming's shoulders, saying, "Your Highness means that we are like this dirty dust, hiding deep in the sky on weekdays, but once the light shines on us, we have nowhere to hide and are revealed. If the heavy responsibility of Daqian falls on your shoulders, the dust will naturally be swept away."

"this?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened. Wasn't this clearly a humiliation to them?

Then Shi Daoqing continued, "The reason why all of you colleagues can stand here is because you are paying officials a preferential price of 500 taels of silver to watch chess. Do I need to explain some things to you?"

Liang Yuanming and others immediately showed guilty looks again.

"I hope you can reflect on yourselves and set an example." After saying this last sentence, Shi Daoqing flicked his sleeves and returned to his private room.

Everyone was left standing there quietly.

With this explanation, everything seems to make sense.

"Mumbling..."

Liang Yuanming swallowed hard, his back was soaked without him knowing when, and said nervously: "Your Highness, since it is a reprimand and a warning, then do I still have a chance to correct it?"

These words awakened everyone like a bolt from the blue.

Yes, if they really wanted to deal with Liang Yuanming, why would they waste their breath and just hand it over to the Wuwei Division to investigate? Isn't this clearly giving them a chance? This private room was indeed not given in vain!

They are also very fortunate to be able to receive such important information here today.

As for whether there is a fluke mentality, bullshit!

Wei Ling was the prime minister of the current dynasty. He had worked hard for His Majesty and Daqian for many years. He was a real hero. But he was killed in an instant. The entire Wei family was implicated and their property was confiscated and they were exiled. Even the Murong family was implicated. It was said that they were only saved because their vitality was damaged. Even if these people were tied together, they were nothing compared to the two of them.

改!

Must change!

From now on, when being a person or an official, you must do everything honestly, set an example, contribute to the people and the country, and never engage in corruption or accept bribes!

Investigating corruption is much more troublesome than confiscating property. If we investigate thoroughly, I'm afraid there won't be many clean officials in Tianwu City. I don't know how the old man will end up.

Anyway, this matter will not fall on him. If anyone is busy, it must be Xiao Xiang. After all, she is the White Tiger, one of the four symbols of the Wuwei Division, and the Wuwei Division is professional in investigating corruption.

In the private room, Shen Yian collected his thoughts, sat next to Ye Liyan and asked with a smile: "Has Grandpa Ye entered?"

"Come, come, just sit there." Ye Liyan happily stretched out her finger and pointed to Shen Yian's seat.

They were on the third floor, overlooking the entire competition venue.

The competition venue was the square where the auction was held before. The contestants were divided into groups of two, with a referee next to them. A little further away was the host desk, where Shen Tengfeng and others sat, responsible for statistics and monitoring.

In order to avoid inside information as much as possible, all contestants are required to wear masks, draw lots at random to get number tags, and find their competition positions according to the number tags.

Even though Ye Tiance was wearing a mask, Ye Liyan recognized him at the first sight as soon as he went out. Judging from the way he walked, it seemed that there was no one else in Tianwu City except her grandfather.

With the entry of all the contestants, a deafening gong sounded and the game officially began. The game adopted the simplest three-game two-out-of-three system. After each game, the two sides switched the red and black camps.

The competition was in full swing, with groups finishing from time to time. The fastest group took less than a cup of tea from start to finish. Shen Yian even suspected that they were here to eat and drink for free, because all the fruits and food prepared for the contestants were taken away without any left.

"Why, are you nervous?" Shen Yian turned his head and asked with a smile.

"not nervous."

Ye Liyan shook her little head and looked down intently.

Shen Yian looked down at the small hand pinching his thigh, and for a moment he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, his flesh was thicker, otherwise it would have been extremely painful if it was pinched too hard.

"Number 19 wins!"

Nineteen was Ye Tiance's number. As the referee called out, Ye Liyan's nervous heart finally settled down, and she said happily, "Great, Grandpa won."

"Yeah! Grandpa Ye is very powerful!"

Shen Yian had experienced the old man's chess playing level, so as long as he didn't meet Fu Sheng and other masters in the preliminary round, there would be basically no pressure. He suggested, "We still have to record the results later, let's go to the host desk and wait for Grandpa Ye."

I just happened to go over and meet Shen Tengfeng to thank him in person for his help.

"Okay~" Ye Liyan responded obediently.

The group left the private room and quickly walked around to the host platform. Seeing the people coming, the imperial guards along the way did not dare to stop them, so they passed through smoothly.

"Hey?! Sixth brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Shen Tengfeng noticed the group of people and hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"The game is almost over, let's come here and wait for Grandpa Ye."

"Fifth brother, thank you very much for the private room." Shen Yian told the truth about his purpose.

"General Ye is also participating in the competition?" Shen Tengfeng was surprised at first, then he scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, why are you being so polite about such a small matter? Besides, it's not that I don't want to pay you, it's that Liang Yuanming who insisted on giving you the money."

Shen Yian did not hide it and said, "I know. I returned the money to him and also gave him money to buy a private room."

"Almost forgot."

Speaking of this, Shen Tengfeng slapped his forehead and took out the five hundred taels of silver that Liang Yuanming had given him.

"This is?"

Shen Yian asked doubtfully: "Was this also given by Liang Yuanming?"

"Yes, he specifically asked me to mention him more in front of you. I wanted to take it at first, but I felt it was not appropriate. I kept wanting to return it to him, but I was staring at this place the whole time and forgot about it."

As he spoke, Shen Tengfeng waved and called over a man, asking him to deliver the silver note to Liang Yuanming. Although the other party no longer had the Tian private room, they had a Di private room, which was very easy to find.

"Fifth brother, you really impressed me today." Shen Yian's eyes lit up. This was completely different from the Shen Tengfeng he knew. It was so surprising.

"Ahem, keep a low profile."

Shen Tengfeng coughed twice and said proudly: "Sixth brother, didn't I say before that things are different now? I, Shen Tengfeng, have been reborn!"

Shen Yian gave a thumbs up and praised: "Great."

"Hahahahaha."

Shen Tengfeng's face turned red due to the compliment, and then the two brothers looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
