Yan Shiyue paused subconsciously, and a very light but strange smell drifted past her nose.
When she turned around, she saw several Ku soldiers coming behind her. Those people obviously didn't know her, and they had never seen the prime minister's official robes. They didn't know who she was, but the woman was wearing official robes, so they could guess it.
She had been too lost in thought to pay attention, but when she regained her consciousness, she felt that there were many pairs of eyes around her staring at her. The feeling of being stared at in several directions as soon as she raised her head really made people feel hairy on their backs.
She looked around.
Then he saw Bao Zheng hurried over and saluted, "Master Xiang."
To be honest, seeing real people in front of you can wash away the inherent impression very quickly.
Anyway, before, when she thought of Bao Qingtian, she thought of Jin Chaoqun's face, with black face and crescent moon, which was extremely powerful, but now, she felt that this white-faced and beautiful-bearded scholar was Bao Zheng.
She asked: "Why did I call you here? Don't delay your business. I'll just take a walk and ask someone to take me with me."
Bao Zheng hurriedly leaned over and replied: "Zhou Ming went back to call for help, and Lord Jia called for the official to come over."
Oh? Yan Shiyue squinted her eyes and said to herself that these officials were really good at observing faces. She thought they had concealed them in time, but she didn't expect that they could all be seen?
When he came, she nodded and asked him: "Where is this?"
Bao Zheng said: "Treasury."
Wow? So this is the national treasury?
Yan Shiyue went around to take a look, and sure enough he saw that the guards were heavily guarded and the order was in order.
She looked far away and didn't pass by, so she continued walking forward.
Wherever she went, Bao Zheng gave her a few introductions. He seemed neither humble nor overbearing, calm and composed, but when you really paid attention, you could see his secret observation and well-concealed anxiety.
Sure enough, no one is born strong...
Yan Shiyue walked around and it was already noon. Sima Shangshu politely invited them to have dinner together.
Yan Shiyue refused and planned to have dinner with the officials from the Ministry of Revenue.
Of course, the work meal was not delicious. While eating, she was still thinking, in fact, no subordinate would like a boss like her, right? It was so unsociable that treating guests and giving gifts would not work.
She stopped going out after dinner and sat down to listen to Qu Sinian and Sima Long talking.
It was covered with clouds and mist, and after listening to it for only a quarter of an hour, she couldn't bear it anymore. She went out to find a place and asked someone to take the book and read it.
In the afternoon, the three of them retired from the office together. Yan Shiyue invited them home for dinner. The three of them rode horses and walked slowly to the guardhouse.
When they arrived near the guardhouse, they saw some people surrounding them. A few women in the middle were holding Chu Ning, kowtowing and crying for help. Chu Canjun and Guo Hao were also nearby, and many people from the Yulin Army were trying to persuade them.
Yan Shiyue heard a few words and knew that this was Zhang Heng's family.
At this time, Huo Qijing also came out of the guardhouse. When he saw her, he rode over and explained: "It is said that Zhang Heng has been sentenced to death."
Yan Shiyue was a little surprised: "So fast?"
"There are many witnesses, so the matter was originally simple."
Qu Sinian interjected: "Even so, the other party must have spent a lot of money, otherwise it would not be so fast. If a civilian sues the Yulin Army, he will not be sentenced to death. He should almost be sentenced to exile."
Yan Shiyue said, "Every pitiable person must be hateful. She is pitiful when she loses her son, but should someone else's brother die?"
She waved Zhao Kuangyin over, and after saying a few words, Zhao Kuangyin rode his horse forward and shouted from a distance: "Chu Sifang."
Chu Canjun was startled, looked up and saw him, and said, "Here he is."
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Excuse me, what rank are you?"
Chu Canjun hurriedly replied: "I will join the army for the sixth grade at the end."
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Killing to pay for one's life and debts to pay back money are natural and right. When a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people! You and your son are only sixth-rank officials. How can you influence the law of the country? Can you bring the dead back to life?"
Chu Canjun said anxiously: "I can't! I don't dare!" He said to Zhang Heng's family: "My son's affairs are really beyond my control as a young soldier. Please let me and my son go!"
Chu Ningyuan also surrendered to Zhang Heng's family: "Kill to pay for life, the other party also has parents and family, it's useless for you to get entangled here."
Zhao Kuangyin said loudly: "This is the Yulin Military Guards Station. Do you have any bad intentions when you are making trouble here?" He pointed his riding crop at them: "If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, I will have you all arrested and sent to be your son's companion!"
The onlookers dispersed quickly for fear of causing trouble. Zhao Kuangyin winked, and Guo Hao also led others to retreat. The Chu family father and son stepped forward and saluted, then mounted their horses and left.
Only the mournful Zhang family members were left.
The group of people rode away. Gu Hengsha greeted Huo Qijing on the horse and told him about the calligraphy she had given him today. At the same time, he asked, "I wonder if I can ask the master for some tips?"
Huo Qijing nodded: "Okay."
Here Qing Wei said with a smile to Zhao Kuangyin: "The official power is so great!"
Yan Shiyue said: "It's not over. We have to be flexible when dealing with things. To deal with such people, it's useless for you to reason! You have to use this method! I think Lao Zhao is doing a good job!"
Qingweidao said urgently: "Yes, Master."
Yan Shiyue sighed and pointed his riding crop at Qing Wei: "Of the four of you, only Lao Zhao can survive anywhere. You... are too careful, too cautious, too worried, and too overthinking.
Duo, you must understand one thing. As long as you are reasonable, there are really not many people in Chang'an City that you cannot antagonize."
Qingweilai responded respectfully.
Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Qingwei and said with a playful smile: "Master's wife, I know you admire me the most, your disciple! But why do you have to call me Lao Zhao? I'm obviously not old."
"Okay then," she changed her words calmly: "Then from now on I will do the same as Wei Wei and call you Xiaosi."
"Sure," Zhao Kuangyin said, "Senior Wife, my temperament is different from that of the three senior brothers. For example, if you want to reason properly...I can't do it, and so can you, Senior Wife?"
Yan Shiyue whipped his horse on the buttocks, and Zhao Kuangyin rushed out with a roar, almost hitting Qu Sinian.
Everyone went back to the house.
Even his young apprentice Gu Hengsha had a special room and his clothes. Only then did Yan Shiyue remember that he had forgotten Qu Sinian, so he went to temporarily borrow a suit from Xu Wenqu, and invited him over too. Everyone went their separate ways.
I changed my clothes and came to the living room to eat.
Speaking of today, Qu Sinian said: "Sima Long is indeed an old fox, and his words are really impeccable." He smiled and glanced at Yan Shiyue: "Anyway, in their opinion, you'd better be like a Bodhisattva and ask people to offer you sacrifices.
Right."
Gu Hengsha also said: "The accounts are complicated and I couldn't figure it out for a while. But I took a look and found that there are currently 43.6 million taels of silver in the national inventory."
Yan Shiyue was surprised: "So few?" (To be continued)
