An Zheng found Chen Shaobai who was waiting outside for reinforcements, and told him in a low voice that he would be leaving for a while, and let Chen Shaobai arrange an inn. Chen Shaobai asked An Zheng where he was going and An Zheng left after saying the two words private matters. Chen Shaobai knew what kind of character An Zheng had, and he himself was unable to keep up. Recently, An Zheng was not as impulsive as he was before, so he went to the arranged inn to find a room for Qu Liuxi and the rest.
An Zheng followed behind Principal Chen and realised that this newly promoted vice minister of the Military Department was really a poverty-stricken fella. He only had two guards with him, and they looked even more scared than he was. Thinking about it, it made sense. A Humble Class person like ChenChen had always been a sixth rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. With that little bit of salary, he would be able to support his family in the capital.
“Da …” Master, how about we not go? ”
A guard tremblingly said, “That is the Yang Family, the land of tigers and wolves. A while ago, His Majesty had just deposed a large number of people from the Wealthy Class and activated a good official like Lord Da Xi, who was wholeheartedly working for Da Xi. But now, he had infuriated those people. Your Excellency still needs to go ask for food, and they will definitely not treat you kindly. ”
Student Chen paused in his steps and turned around to look at the guard. “I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable. I know you two are afraid, but I’m also afraid.” However, it was a matter of loyalty to the king. Since I’m wearing this official uniform, I have to work for the Great Xixi, work for His Majesty, and work for the people of the world. There are over 10 million hungry people and troops outside the city, I can’t just watch them starve to death. I requested to open the city gates, and was rejected three times in a row. The only thing I can do is to find them an extra bite to eat. ”
Principal Chen waved his hand, “The two of you can leave. There won’t be much of a difference between the two of you if you’re here and if you’re not. They won’t be scared just because I brought two guards. Let’s go, both of them. ”
The guard who had spoken earlier fell silent for a moment before clasping his hands together. Then, he turned around and ran away.
The one who was left swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth, “Your subordinate, Liu Lie, has been following sire since seven years ago. At that time, sire was an official in the Ministry of Revenue, so I followed you. My duty is to protect the Lord, and not to leave him. ”
“Actually, if you follow me, you have been wronged.” “In these seven years, if you follow those officials who have come from a wealthy family, you might have already reached great heights.”
Liu Lie shook his head. “I follow my lord with my heart; I won’t be able to sleep. Let’s go, my lord. Even if it was the Yang Family, it was at most a ghost door. “If you go in, I’ll still follow you.”
As he turned around, his steps became firmer.
At that time, Chen Wunuo had taken advantage of An Zheng’s chaos to get rid of a few big clans, so they had to go througeriod of hibernation. Because they were sure that Chen Wunuo couldn’t leave them. The more severe the rebellion, the more Chen Wunuo needed them.
However, a few days ago, when Chen Wunuo returned from the immortal palace, he had expelled more than two-thirds of the officials from the Holy See and those who were promoted were all people from the Humble Class. This completely infuriated these nobles, to the point that the Holy See was not able to function properly right now.
Some of the lower echelons of the imperial court were from the Humble Class, while some of the lower echelons were from large families. When these large families spoke out, who among these officials would still be able to do anything?
A person like Chen Xuechen was currently a beast race within the Holy See. Although he was afraid of death, he was not afraid of walking down the path of death.
The Yang Mansion was located on the Chengfeng street of the Jinling, which was the most prosperous area of the Jinling. The house occupied oveundred acres of land, but in Jinling, which was a place where every inch of land cost a fortune, it was obvious that the family’s influence was huge.
Scholar Chen walked to the door of the Yang family, tidied up his clothes, and handed over the card with both hands.
“May I trouble you to inform Old Mr. Yang that his student, Student Chen has requested an audience?”
The servant took the card and glanced at him. He then turned around and entered the room.
Yang Huishan had already held the position of Minister of Revenue for a long time. The fact that the Department of Revenue was the lifeblood of the economy of the country showed just how important the Yang Family was to the Da Xi family. This person was born and spread throughout the world. Some people said that once he gave the order, a fifth of the officials would stand up for him.
Although it was slightly exaggerated, one could still tell how much influence this person had.
Not long after, that servant came out and glanced at Senior Servant Chen. “Go in. My master is waiting for you in the living room.”
He thought for a moment before instructing Liu Lie to wait for him at the door. Liu Lie wanted to follow, but he was angrily rebuked by Principal Chen for not understanding the rules. Thus, he could only wait outside the door. Actually, he was very clear in his heart. The reason that Principal Chen had not allowed him to enter with him was because he was very clear on how dangerous the situation inside was.
When they were outside the living room, Principal Chen once again straightened his clothes and stepped inside. The gray-haired Yang Huishan sat on the main seat as he waited for him. Student Chen took a few steps forward, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground. “Student pays his respects to Mister.”
“It’s the school officials.”
Yang Huishan squinted his eyes and waved his hand, “Quickly get up. There is no need to act this way between us.”
When he stood up, he realized that there were a lot of Yang family members sitting around, but not a single empty seat was left for him, so he could only stand there awkwardly.
“School official, you are now the assistant minister of the Military Department. The Military Department has a lot of things to do, how do you have the time to come visit your teacher?”
“Sir, there is a matter that the student cannot resolve. I specifically came to you to seek your guidance.”
“Right now, I am no longer an official. The fact that I was outrageously ousted from all official positions means that I am a loser. What questions do you have for me? Didn’t you find the wrong person? ”
“This student knows that Mister has a character and must have been framed by a vile character. Back then, when the students first met with the teacher, they were already impressed by his elegance. Sir has worked hard in the Holy See for many years, and this is what I have witnessed. ”
Yang Huishan’s expression relaxed a little, and he laughed: “If you have anything to ask, feel free to say it.”
After collating his words, he said, “Sir also knows that there are tens of millions of refugees outside the city and 2 million soldiers. The cost per day is not a small amount. The treasury is almost empty again. How are we going to deal with this crisis?
Yang Huishan’s face sank: “You came to ask me for my punishment, if not for the North Mountain granary being sold out, this situation would not have happened. As the Minister of Revenue, I am actually completely unaware of the fact that the granary is short … Chen Xuechen, you are here on His Majesty’s orders to interrogate me? Or do you think you can slap me in the face as the vice minister of the military? ”
The student fell to his knees withump. “This student doesn’t dare. It’s just that this student really has no other way, so he came to seek guidance from Mister.” There are not many people that I know in Holy See, and after thinking about it, only Sir can help me. ”
Yang Huishan’s youngest son, Yang Qiansheng laughed coldly: “Truly a lowly person’s ambition is to be promoted from a sixth rank official of the Department of Revenue straight third rank vice minister of the Military Department, it could be said that you have soared into the sky. “What, now that you have gained power, you’re here to show off to your husband?”
Principal Chen quickly explained, “Qianshan, you know me. You and I have interacted a lot in the past, and you know that I’m not that kind of person.”
“Bah!”
Yang Qiansheng spat: “Communicating with you? You think you are worthy of it? It was just a show. Even the stray dogs on the street wagged their tails at me when they saw me more often. I know that dog, and that dog knows me, so that means that we’re friends? ”
The expression on his face changed, “Qian Shan, your words are a bit too hurtful.”
“I’m so sorry for hurting your pathetic self-esteem. As someone from a humble family, you care the most about face, don’t you? It was best to keep that little bit of self-esteem he had. My father does not need a student like you, nor do you need a teacher like my father, who will be able to rise to prominence in the future. “It’s better if you scram, my Yang family is in dire straits now, how can we accept such a big shot like you?”
Student Chen did not get up, and simply kowtowed to Yang Huishan while saying, “Sir, I have no choice now, if possible, please open your private storage, I will borrow some food from Mister to pacify the victims outside. In the coming year, we will double the harvest and return it to Mister. ”
“Shut up!”
Yang Qiansheng stood up abruptly, “You are slandering me! Private storage? Who would dare to build their own stronghold under the responsibility of the imperial government? That waeinous crime! “Principal Chen, you’re really full of wild ambition. To think that you would frame your benefactor like this!”
School Chen was startled, a wave of remorse and regret sprouted in his heart. How could he have forgotten that no large clan would admit to building a private storage? This walot against him. Once his plan was confirmed, his sect would be exterminated.
“Teacher, I don’t have such thoughts. I only hope that Mister can look at the millions of hungry people outside the city. That is the life of one person after another.”
Yang Qiansheng said: “It has nothing to do with me.” No one from my Yang family is an official, this matter is not under our control. “Hurry up and get out of here, or else I’ll have someone beat you up and kick you out.”
“Wait a minute!”
Yang Huishan’s eldest son, Yang Qian De stood up with a smile: “Although my family doesn’t have any private stalls, there is still some food. Since Master Chen is so concerned for the hungry, we are also willing to provide some food to help the victims. But, we can’t just send them out for free, hundreds of people from the Yang family also need to eat. “What if Master Chen refuses to return it to us? Wouldn’t we be the ones to starve to death in the future?”
“I’m willing to write an IOU!”
“Who would believe that?”
Yang Qian De walked to the front of the student Chen, and looked down at him condescendingly. “Leave behind some proof, we will give you food to help the victims.” It couldn’t be any kind of paper, it wasn’t reliable. One must be able to tell with a single glance that it is indeed something that you, Sir Chen, left behind. ”
“What do you want? As long as I have it, I’m willing to stay. ”
“Not only do you have them, there are also quite a few of them.”
Yang Qian De smiled and said, “Isn’t it just food? The Yang family members tightened their belt, we can still save some money. ”
With a lift of his hand, he removed the official’s hat on Principal Chen’s head. He then flipped it over and over, “A third rank official’s hat, how awe-inspiring …” Aiyo, look, we, Sir Chen, are in our forties. Our hair is pretty good, and we don’t look like we usually lose our hair. How about this, you pull ouair, and I’ll give you one catty of food. There are at least tens of thousands of them, but we can still take out several tens of thousands of pounds of food. You’re bald when you go out, and you have your hair in my house, so it’s obvious that you’re in evidence. ”
“Withourivate warehouse, how could you possibly have several thousand catties of grain?!”
Yang Qian De’s smile became even more proud, “My Yang family has a lot of connections, even if my family can’t afford it, I can still borrow it for you.” Let me calculate for you. A catty of food and porridge can make dozens of people drink a bowl. Tens of thousands kilograms of food, the victims outside really needed it. “Sir Chen is such a loyal man and loves his people, why can’t he bear to part with your hair?”
“Give me the knife!”
“I’ll cut it off for you right now!”
Yang Qian De shook his head, “No, no, Master Chen must have heard wrongly. What I said was’ pull ‘, not’ cut ‘. He pulled them out one by one. It would be fine if Sir Chen was afraid of the pain. If you don’t dare, I can help you. ”
The expression on his face kept changing. Suddenly, he stood up and took off his official uniform and folded it neatly.
“Blood can’t dye my uniform.”
He looked at Yang Qian De, “I will do it myself, there’s no need for you to do it!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

The Military Department has a lot of things to do, how do you have the time to come visit your teacher?Sir, there is a matter that the student cannot resolve. I specifically came to you to seek your guidance.Right now, I am no longer an official. The fact that I was outrageously ousted from all official positions means that I am a loser. What questions do you have for me? Didn't you find the wrong person? This student knows that Mister has a character and must have been framed by a vile character. Back then, when the students first met with the teacher, they were already impressed by his elegance. Sir has worked hard in the Holy See for many years, and this is what I have witnessed. Yang Huishan's expression relaxed a little, and he laughed: If you have anything to ask, feel free to say it.After collating his words, he said, Sir also knows that there are tens of millions of refugees outside the city and 2 million soldiers. The cost per day is not a small amount. The treasury is almost empty again. How are we going to deal with this crisis?Yang Huishan's face sank: You came to ask me for my punishment, if not for the North Mountain granary being sold out, this situation would not have happened. As the Minister of Revenue, I am actually completely unaware of the fact that the granary is short Chen Xuechen, you are here on His Majesty's orders to interrogate me? Or do you think you can slap me in the face as the vice minister of the military? The student fell to his knees withump. This student doesn't dare. It's just that this student really has no other way, so he came to seek guidance from Mister. There are not many people that I know in Holy See, and after thinking about it, only Sir can help me. Yang Huishan's youngest son, Yang Qiansheng laughed coldly: Truly a lowly person's ambition is to be promoted from a sixth rank official of the Department of Revenue straight third rank vice minister of the Military Department, it could be said that you have soared into the sky. What, now that you have gained power, you're here to show off to your husband?Principal Chen quickly explained, Qianshan, you know me. You and I have interacted a lot in the past, and you know that I'm not that kind of person.Bah!Yang Qiansheng spat: Communicating with you? You think you are worthy of it? It was just a show. Even the stray dogs on the street wagged their tails at me when they saw me more often. I know that dog, and that dog knows me, so that means that we're friends? The expression on his face changed, Qian Shan, your words are a bit too hurtful.I'm so sorry for hurting your pathetic self-esteem. As someone from a humble family, you care the most about face, don't you? It was best to keep that little bit of self-esteem he had. My father does not need a student like you, nor do you need a teacher like my father, who will be able to rise to prominence in the future. It's better if you scram, my Yang family is in dire straits now, how can we accept such a big shot like you?Student Chen did not get up, and simply kowtowed to Yang Huishan while saying, Sir, I have no choice now, if possible, please open your private storage, I will borrow some food from Mister to pacify the victims outside. In the coming year, we will double the harvest and return it to Mister. Shut up!Yang Qiansheng stood up abruptly, You are slandering me! Private storage? Who would dare to build their own stronghold under the responsibility of the imperial government? That waeinous crime! Principal Chen, you're really full of wild ambition. To think that you would frame your benefactor like this!School Chen was startled, a wave of remorse and regret sprouted in his heart. How could he have forgotten that no large clan would admit to building a private storage? This walot against him. Once his plan was confirmed, his sect would be exterminated.Teacher, I don't have such thoughts. I only hope that Mister can look at the millions of hungry people outside the city. That is the life of one person after another.Yang Qiansheng said: It has nothing to do with me. No one from my Yang family is an official, this matter is not under our control. Hurry up and get out of here, or else I'll have someone beat you up and kick you out.Wait a minute!Yang Huishan's eldest son, Yang Qian De stood up with a smile: Although my family doesn't have any private stalls, there is still some food. Since Master Chen is so concerned for the hungry, we are also willing to provide some food to help the victims. But, we can't just send them out for free, hundreds of people from the Yang family also need to eat. What if Master Chen refuses to return it to us? Wouldn't we be the ones to starve to death in the future?I'm willing to write an IOU!Who would believe that?Yang Qian De walked to the front of the student Chen, and looked down at him condescendingly. Leave behind some proof, we will give you food to help the victims. It couldn't be any kind of paper, it wasn't reliable. One must be able to tell with a single glance that it is indeed something that you, Sir Chen, left behind. What do you want? As long as I have it, I'm willing to stay. Not only do you have them, there are also quite a few of them.Yang Qian De smiled and said, Isn't it just food? The Yang family members tightened their belt, we can still save some money. With a lift of his hand, he removed the official's hat on Principal Chen's head. He then flipped it over and over, A third rank official's hat, how awe-inspiring Aiyo, look, we, Sir Chen, are in our forties. Our hair is pretty good, and we don't look like we usually lose our hair. How about this, you pull ouair, and I'll give you one catty of food. There are at least tens of thousands of them, but we can still take out several tens of thousands of pounds of food. You're bald when you go out, and you have your hair in my house, so it's obvious that you're in evidence. Withourivate warehouse, how could you possibly have several thousand catties of grain?!Yang Qian De's smile became even more proud, My Yang family has a lot of connections, even if my family can't afford it, I can still borrow it for you. Let me calculate for you. A catty of food and porridge can make dozens of people drink a bowl. Tens of thousands kilograms of food, the victims outside really needed it. Sir Chen is such a loyal man and loves his people, why can't he bear to part with your hair?Give me the knife!I'll cut it off for you right now!Yang Qian De shook his head, No, no, Master Chen must have heard wrongly. What I said was' pull , not' cut . He pulled them out one by one. It would be fine if Sir Chen was afraid of the pain. If you don't dare, I can help you. The expression on his face kept changing. Suddenly, he stood up and took off his official uniform and folded it neatly.Blood can't dye my uniform.He looked at Yang Qian De, I will do it myself, there's no need for you to do it!
