However, Zhazi, who came with an urgent delivery from Shangzhou, arrived at the General Administration Department and Dongdailu Courtyard at the left inner gate of Zhuque Gate in Chang'an; but it once again caused a small commotion and noise.
"I'm back, I'm back, I've passed Bailuyuan, and I'm about to reach Duling."
"This idiot acted rashly, and he was actually allowed to do it?"
"Three days and two nights, three days and two nights, we have recovered all the foreign objects that were robbed, as well as the culprit."
"This Jiang Jianxian is truly worthy of the name of 'Living Tai Sui'. But I don't know if another family will fall this time."
"How do you say this? Is it possible that he is still trying to get along with a prominent family?"
"That's not true. It's just that in the past few days, whenever he finds out the relationship, he will either be killed with his body lying on the pillow, or the prominent family will be liquidated and implicated?"
"In this case, it's best to stay away from others. The main duty of the Lixingyuan is to exterminate and suppress the beasts. You can't find anyone else to blame for it, right?"
"Then the rewards and commendations this time will surely come soon, right?"
"Hey, this is really unprecedented. He actually took the initiative to write a letter asking for money. Moreover, what he wanted was not just a temporary payment, but a long-term payment."
"What's going on? Is the newly established Xijing branch so short of money? Didn't the court just allocate 10,000 yuan for the preparation expenses..."
So not long after, the petition letter from Jiang Tian was also quickly transferred to the West Pavilion Gate of Taiji Hall, where the Third Department of Envoys was in charge of finance, taxation and national affairs. Then he solemnly appeared on the Prime Minister Liu Zhanyu who happened to be on duty.
In this concise petition, only three uses of the additional funds are listed: not only to compensate the casualties of soldiers; to appropriately compensate the soldiers and civilians who were collaterally injured in the pursuit of beast disasters; to adopt the victims of beast disasters. Orphans and children.
Speaking of which, Liu Zhan, the Prime Minister of the dynasty, was not too unfamiliar with Jiang Tian. He even had a chance encounter with him during the Jin Yong City Incident. However, he could only smile bitterly and said to Xiang Jian: "In this way, you really think highly of me."
"Why should the prime minister conceal himself? If you hadn't been busy at home and abroad, doing your best to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, you would have concealed the balance between the government and the public for more than ten years." However, Xu Shang, the judge of the Third Division Yuan who was on duty, said disapprovingly. : "These people are so ignorant."
"Although I am the leader of the country, I only deserve half of the family in the world." Liu Zhan shook his head slightly and said: "Where the rest is, the smaller half is in the internal treasury, and only listens to the emperor's internal decree; there are also Most of them belong to the two houses of Zongfan and Lifan. They can only be used if the assistants are in place. I really don’t dare to take credit."
"Of course my servant knows the emissary's hard work, so why not reject this proposal and make a new plan?" Xu Shang, the judge of the Third Division Yuan, suggested again: "Let's just say it is too rough and more details need to be completed. Specific regulations..."
"It can't be refuted, it can't be refuted." Liu Zhan shook his head again and sighed: "Since they pushed this hot issue to me, they must have spread the news and built up a momentum. I also We can only go with the flow at the church meeting."
"What, Minister, is it possible that you want to take this matter to the (political affairs) court?" Judge Xu Shang couldn't help being shocked and said: "This is just a request from a supervisor of a lixingyuan. It’s such a lowly job that you can’t even reach the sixth grade!”
"Why can't you go to the Lixingyuan, which was approved by all the hall elders at the beginning? Can't it be included in the hall meeting?" However, Liu Zhan had already made a decision: "At the monthly hall meeting, all the provincial and Taiwan ministries supervise the temple, and all Are there not many additional requests? In fact, this is not enough."
"What's more, with the current situation, although the amount of money is small, it must be given;" Liu Zhan continued to add: "Otherwise, even if the political affairs hall of the foreign dynasty does not give it; regardless of the Zongfanyuan or the Grand Council There are still people in the inner treasury who are willing to give. That would really be disrespectful to the country."
"The worst thing is, let the Yushitai hand over the names of a few more unscrupulous wealthy merchants, or find a few princes and vassals who have violated etiquette and exceeded the rules, and discuss the matter. Anyway, my holy scroll and age are almost over. , even if you have to bear the name of "corrupt and cruel official", it doesn't matter if you retreat bravely."
At the same time, Ping Kangli Beiqu. Compared with the bustling fireworks scene around it, Yiying Building, a building complex covering an area of more than ten acres, appears to be a quiet, elegant landmark amidst the bustle.
Yanxiu Du Qiniang, one of the new Seven Shows and Thirteen Hairpins, who had just arrived after hearing the news, and her accompanying sword attendant Pingting, were somewhat coveted, and were unceremoniously blocked in the second line in public. inside the gate.
Because, as the head of the contemporary Seven Shows and the deputy head of the shop, Qixiu, a woman in palace attire with trailing skirt, high temples, and veiled face, also stood in front of the door and admonished: "The boss will not see you at this moment. Yes, you just asked me to ask you a few words in person."
"The master wants to ask you, what was the original purpose of Qixiufang? It originally housed weak women who were hurt by love. What they hated the most was the frivolous and unsentimental people in the world. Therefore, whenever you act, you should be particularly careful. Emphasize that grudges must be repaid and promises must be kept.”
"However, after so many years, it seems that some people have forgotten their original intentions, ignored the rules of Qixiufang, and actually committed an act of betrayal? Qixiufang has been able to stand upright on its own without fear of power in these years. To bring peace to all parties, we should never use power to overwhelm others unless we have to."
"However, when someone saves you and you are in danger of life and death, not only do you refuse to live up to your promise afterwards, but you also give away a sum of money in the name of Yiyinglou to humiliate your benefactor. What do you mean by having nothing to do with each other? It's really big The tone is so impressive."
Hearing this accusation, Du Qiniang couldn't help but turn pale. Then when she saw the gold-red greeting card and money ticket held by the deputy boss, she still didn't know what was going on. On the other hand, Pingting, the sword attendant at the side, could not help but argue with panic on her face: "Deputy boss, there may be a misunderstanding about this matter..."
"Pingting, although we appreciate your great kindness in rescuing Xiaoyao in the underground ghost market, why did we conceal the key point?" The deputy boss immediately interrupted: "Is it possible, Qixiu Fang Is consistent cultivation and trust worth a mere hundred cents?"
"Qiniang, you secretly tried to break your promise and get rich. What is ruined now is not only your personal reputation, but also the reputation and reputation that Qixiufang has maintained for many years." She turned around again and said: "Now, even Wude The jackals of the Secretary are all laughing at the fact that this building is not worthy of its name, and they are just using it as an excuse so that they can reach out to Ping Kangli again... let alone the one who secretly intervenes in this matter, who is more than just a Wu Desi standing on the stage? "
"So there has been a plan in the building. Qiniang, please hand over all your personnel and duties for the time being, and take a seat from the Qixiu seniority order to reflect on yourself!" The deputy boss finally concluded: "In addition, the people and people under your command Don't act rashly with money, just wait for this house to come forward and handle it properly... As for Pingting, whether you have bad character or mishandled it, I can only remove your identity as a swordsman. From now on, you have nothing to do with it, and you can take care of everything yourself. Bar!"
When all this is settled.
"Seventh sister, it's me who has caused trouble for you." Pingting, who was a sword attendant, finally couldn't help but choked with tears, "Who would have thought that he would have the momentum and power he has now."
"No, on the contrary, it was my selfishness that caused the trouble. Not only did I want to make things worse, but I also hurt you." Du Qiniang, who had regained her composure and calmness, said in a deep voice, "I am only to blame for what happened now." .You will eventually pay the price for this.”
