Chapter 353
Fortunately, she met him. If it was someone else, going to jail would be the lightest punishment, and he might even murder her in order to eliminate the root of the problem.
Ye Xi didn't expect it to be like this and was speechless for a moment.
"But, but... this is not right."
It took her a long time to say this, her mind a little confused. Is this era so unclear?
Wei Jue looked at her pale face, feeling a little annoyed and thinking that what he had said just now was too harsh.
However, he felt that he should let her know how powerful the officialdom was, otherwise she would be too reckless in the future.
“In the future, when dealing with the government, listen less and talk less, and don’t get too involved.
Countless merchants have been used and discarded by the rich and powerful, and countless families have been destroyed and their lives ruined."
At the end, he added, “Do you understand?”
Ye Xi took two steps back, expressing her incomprehension. She looked at Wei Jue silently, feeling somewhat disappointed.
She thought there was something wrong with the local officials, but she didn't expect that Wei Jue might also have problems, so she suppressed her anger and left.
Wei Jue was also upset. He was very happy to hear that Ye Xi came to see him on her own initiative, but it ended up being a bad ending.
When Ye Xi stepped out of the room, she saw Xue Jiu, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated. She took her anger out on him, glared at him and left.
Xue Jiu heard the quarrel between the two outside the door and felt that it was not a good idea for the adults not to explain.
Seeing Ye Xi coming out, he was thinking about whether he should explain it to her? But he ended up getting pissed off.
He did not dare to go forward and say more. He decided to wait until she calmed down. Perhaps by then the adults would be able to explain themselves and he would not be needed anymore.
Ye Xi returned angrily to the courtyard where she was staying, then locked herself in the room and refused to see anyone.
Jin Ling and Yan Wu looked at each other and could only wait outside the door.
Ye Xi thought about it and felt that some of what Wei Jue said made sense. Even the modern officialdom was not so clear.
This was even more so in ancient times. She was indeed careless.
If the person in charge today was not Wei Jue, but some other minister, if she exposed the matter like this, she might hurt the person sorely, and he might be silenced.
A chill crept up her spine, and she suddenly felt that this world was... a little cold.
Because of this incident, she stayed at home for two days and didn't want to see Wei Jue.
After being rejected twice, Wei Jue stopped coming because he was busy with the handover.
His main task was to deliver food to local officials and then guide them on the next arrangements.
He will have to leave once everything is back on track.
This task cannot be completed in a short time, so he needs to make long-term arrangements.
That day, Xue Jiu came to see Ye Xi and said that the master wanted her to bring the person he had asked her to bring.
Ye Xicai then remembered the food from the new crops she had donated before leaving.
When the grain was delivered to Wei Jue, Xue Jiu told her to bring along a few people who were good at growing these crops.
At that time, Ye Xi guessed that Wei Jue wanted to promote the planting of new crops in Huzhou City. After all, the new crops were drought-resistant crops and were more suitable for planting in water-scarce areas, which would be better than forcibly planting rice.
Ye Xi asked Jin Ling to take Xue Jiu to find those people. Those people would naturally follow Xue Jiu and do things according to his arrangements.
Ye Xi wanted to go out for a walk and take a look. She wanted to know if this place was any better after being here for so long.
Although there were some things she couldn't interfere with, since she came here to provide disaster relief, things had to develop in a good direction.
