Chapter 495: Be a human being!
Thank you Prime Minister for coming. At least there is real money in here.
When it comes to this ancestor, all that’s left is a threat!
Jiang An nodded and admitted it openly.
"So, do you agree or not?"
"I…!"
Boss Tang’s fists were clenched.
He had the support of his boss and was considered a big shot in the west of the city, but now he was being pressed to the ground and rubbed...
He forced a smile.
What a joke! A real man can stretch and shrink! The most important thing is to save your life first!
"Whatever you want to do, I will do it for you!"
"It's simple. Just spread some fake news and praise the three new officials more."
"Hey, the props are all ready for you~"
The little girl patted the box under her hands.
This is Song Shen’s calligraphy that I just got from the princess’s mansion.
Boss Tang was in a difficult position. "I just scolded him a few days ago, and now he's praising him..."
"If this continues, the reputation of Haokelou will be ruined!"
Jiang An smiled, "If you don't do it, I'll still smash your sign."
I you...
Row!
Boss Tang bit his back teeth until they were broken, but he still had to put on a flattering face, "Ancestor... the county lady instructed me to do it, of course I have to do it, I promise to do it beautifully for you!"
After getting the answer she wanted, the little girl stood up and took one last look at the man.
Her eyes were deep and her smile was unclear. "Boss Tang, go back and tell your master that it's best to do it quickly. Otherwise, the people from the Ministry of Works will come to demolish the building."
"It's such a pity to demolish such a beautiful place..."
Jiang An didn't care how interesting Boss Tang's expression was at the moment, and just walked out of the gambling house.
It was too dark in the Haoke Building and the sunlight could not be seen, which made the little girl feel a little uncomfortable.
Zheng Yan followed closely behind, with a sly smile on his face, "Miss, Boss Tang just said he would give us a gift!"
Boss Tang finally stood up, but fell back to his knees with a bang.
His flesh aches!
Be a human being now!
"Shout~"
Jiang An waved his hand casually, "Why don't you move it quickly?"
The Golden Guards of the Dali Temple did not dare to move for a while, but the personal soldiers under the little girl were all very excited.
It seems like he does this kind of thing quite often!
The Golden Guards looked at each other in twos and threes, and for a moment they couldn't tell who was the rogue.
The matter in the west of the city was settled, and Jiang An went to the Ministry of War.
When the Golden Guards received the order to return to the Dali Temple, they ran away as if something was chasing them.
Zhengyan looked at Gagale and said to himself that Miss Zhiyan scared him.
Jiang An narrowed his eyes and touched his beautiful and delicate face, "Am I ugly?"
Nianniang lowered her eyes silently behind him.
You are naturally beautiful, but you are a sesame-filled one~
As for Zhengyan, who spoke too much, he was successfully slapped by his brother.
The leader of the Golden Guards returned to the Dali Temple and went straight to Lord Wu, telling him the news that Jiang An had moved most of the gambling house.
Wu Heting rubbed his brows, his face numb, "It would be even more strange if she didn't take something away!"
Seeing that Jin Wei's three views were severely damaged, Wu Heting was kind enough to defend the little girl.
"She won't stay long with ill-gotten gains."
"Send more people to keep an eye on the west of the city these days..."
Most of this money will eventually go into the pockets of ordinary people.
Jin Wei's eyes lit up and immediately turned into stars, full of admiration for Jiang An.
"Yes!"
Most of the Jinwei are young men, and everyone in their heart has longed to enjoy the free and easy life in the martial arts world.
Jiang An's behavior is very much like the knight in the storybook who robs the rich and helps the poor.
If Wu Heting knew what Jin Wei was thinking at this moment, he would probably roll his eyes.
He was tricked by Jiang An in the past two days...
I'm so busy!
This ancestor promised Your Majesty in the imperial city to investigate the rumors strictly, but the next day he threw it to him.
He also said that he just gave false evidence and accused anyone he disliked...
He is good at investigating cases and can do it with ease.
He is really not familiar with making false evidence! !
"Ugh…"
In the silent Dali Temple, the only sound could be heard was Lord Wu’s sigh.
"I'm getting old... and I'm losing my dignity in my later years."
Really are…
Two days later, before the poetry gathering hosted by the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, Jiang An found out about the recent rumors in the capital.
She arrested the man with great fanfare and put him in the Dali Temple's death row, sealed his mansion and confiscated his property, and brought a pile of "evidence" to the palace to meet His Majesty.
Jiang An deliberately kept a high profile, and the news spread throughout Kyoto like wildfire.
Prime Minister's Mansion,
"You said Jiang An caught someone?"
"Who was arrested?"
In the study, Sheth stopped writing, looked up and asked the subordinate who delivered the message.
The subordinate was confused for a moment, "My Lord, the person arrested is a minor official from the Ministry of Revenue, his surname is Jin, and he is one of ours."
Xie Si frowned, "Is it the one who is in charge of the money for the Autumn Examination?"
"Exactly."
"That's great... It's really great!"
Shays threw down his pen, anger rising.
She doesn't want the Xie family to have any influence on this year's imperial examination, right?
"I also heard that the county lady brought people to the Haoke Building two days ago, and soon after that, there were many good things about the three new officials in the city, most of which were about the young officials being full of vigor and vitality..."
Anyway, just praise it however you want.
"Humph!"
Xie Si sneered, "Does she think that this way...they can keep their official positions?"
Just wait and see!
He has been an official for decades, and he can't even deal with a few naughty kids!
"It doesn't matter if the chief officer is changed. The people who really do the work are still the minor officials and clerks under him."
"Go find some people you knew in the past, spend more money, and let them have more opportunities in the autumn exam..."
"No!"
The door of the study opened, and a gray-haired old man walked in, supported by a woman.
The Prime Minister's wife glanced at her master and said helplessly, "Father was worried, so he asked me to come with him to take a look."
Sheth hurried forward, took his father's other hand, and helped him sit down in the main seat.
"Father, do you think your son's behavior is inappropriate?"
Xie Si half bowed in front of his father with a look of respect on his face.
"Now the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, the General's Mansion and the Emperor are all on the side of Jiang Jichen's daughter, and that little girl has a bad reputation. If you try to win people's hearts now, the minor officials working under them may fall into the trap and report you to them."
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"Now in Kyoto, the two of you are at odds with each other, and she has two large armies at the border. These 'little devils' will naturally have to think carefully."
"Even if you succeed in this plan, it will only cause them some unhappiness."
"Now Huai Qing is still in the north, and Jiang Jichen has always doted on his daughter..."
The old man glanced at Xie Si and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you anger Jiang Jichen, he will take your son's life!"
