To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Tan Chen ate his fill at this meal.

He touched his belly and said, "Now, I can go to my death with peace of mind."

As he said this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his superior.

"I guarantee with my life that what I said is absolutely not a lie. I am willing to die so that the nursery rhyme can be revived and corrupt officials can go to hell!"

Jiusu said, "There are few good officials in the world. If you die, who will take care of these poor people?"

Bai Luoxue nodded in agreement.

It cannot be denied that this is a very good official.

"Those corrupt officials will definitely go to hell!"

"..."

Outside the yard, Zhang Dahai and others were still kneeling. They were almost frozen and huddled together to keep warm. He exhaled a breath of hot air.

"Tan Chen is a bastard. When I find the chance, I will kill him!"

The gate opened again.

Tan Chen came out.

Seeing Zhang Dahai and the others looking over, he smiled and said, "Hiss, you know what, they really look like dogs. Are you all cold?"

Zhang Dahai cursed back, "You are the dog. You are a lapdog who changes with the wind."

"What is that Mr. Zhang?" Tan Chen approached, his eyes filled with disgust. "Is he a stinky dog ​​covered in shit?"

Zhang Dahai got up and wanted to hit him.

Tan Chen cleared his throat and said in a resounding voice, "The Regent has ordered..."

"I'm here!" Zhang Dahai knelt down quickly, fearing that he would be late than others. Tan Chen was delaying speaking just to tease him.

He could only put on a smile and compliment.

Sooner or later, I will kill Tan Chen.

Tan Chen said, "I have been ordered to supervise the distribution of silver to every household. We will start with Yunshui Village. Gentlemen, please bring the silver boxes."

The people lined up to receive silver, and each family received twenty taels of silver, which slightly dispelled the gloom in their hearts.

It doesn't mean that spending money can cause people pain.

Instead, they tried their best to make amends and give them a reason to live with themselves, that is, they forgave the court, not that the court was giving them charity.

Zhang Dahai: "What are you looking at? Just take the money and leave."

The man shrank back in fear and turned away.

Tan Chen grabbed the man's wrist and said, "Master Zhang, the Prime Minister said we should be nice. Please personally give this brother another five taels of silver."

"Five taels?" Zhang Dahai said reluctantly, shocked. "I just said one thing to him, and I'm going to give him five taels. Why don't you just rob him?"

Tan Chen turned around and said, "I will report to the Prime Minister..."

"I'll give it to you!" Zhang Dahai stamped his feet in anger, took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to the man, "Master Tan, are you satisfied with this?"

Tan Chen said: "Sir, please remember the smile and be polite."

They distributed the compensation for five days and finally received it from the surrounding villages. Zhang Dahai had visibly lost weight and he hooked his arm around Tan Chen's shoulders.

"My boy, when we get back, I'm going to ask you for some advice."

The county towns managed by the two people are adjacent.

Even though they are very close, there are always conflicts.

Tan Chen said, "I'm afraid I won't be going back."

Zhang Dahai curled his lips and said viciously, "What? Are you going to die on the road?"

Lu Qiang looked at the empty box and said unhappily, "County Magistrate Tan has gotten himself a good turn, leaving all the hard work to us. In my opinion, County Magistrate Tan may never be able to return."

Many people had murderous intentions.

However, Tan Chen was not afraid. He smiled, walked to the front of the yard, knelt on the ground, and clasped his hands together: "This humble official requests to see the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife."

Zhang Dahai and others quickly shut up.

They really wanted to beat Tan Chen to death. Why didn't they think of asking for credit in front of the Prime Minister? He kowtowed and said, "This humble official also requests to see you..."

Zhongqin came, but only invited Tan Chen in.

After a moment, Zhongqin opened the gate again and said, "Please come in, all the county magistrates."

After several days of torture, he finally got to see the prime minister's true face. Zhang Dahai knelt on the ground and was stunned when he saw the prime minister's wife.

Zhongqin blocked it: "If you look again, I'll gouge out your dog eyes."

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die..." Zhang Dahai felt a chill on the back of his neck and quickly lowered his head. He really felt that his life was too long.

He actually dared to look at the Prime Minister's wife.

Jiang Jing said coldly: "Tell me the truth, what have you done in these years!"

Zhang Dahai smiled guiltily and tried to cover up his mistake: "Did this humble official offend you in some way, or did someone say something nonsense in front of you?"

He glanced at Tan Chen.

The meaning is clear.

"How dare you!" Jiang Jing threw the evidence in his hand in his face. "How do you explain this?"

Without waiting for them to open their mouths to explain, Jiang Jing continued.

"Take him away and await execution."

"No, Prime Minister, please give me a chance to reform..." Zhang Dahai struggled, unwilling to leave, "Tan Chen, you will not die a good death!"

A few ghostly howls gradually faded away.

Tan Chen knelt on the ground and kowtowed, breathing a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for giving the people of my city a chance to survive."

Jiusu asked, "Are you willing to continue to protect this city?"

"If I can still go back alive, I will naturally be willing to protect the people and the folks in the town!" Tan Chen clasped his fists and bowed.

Jiusu smiled and said, "I'm afraid you not only have to go back alive, but you also have to take this thing back with you."

Mingheng handed the thing to Tan Chen.

Tan Chen opened it, his hands trembling with excitement. He asked in disbelief, "Is this the appointment letter? The prefect of Yuncheng? Is it... is it this humble official?"

"Of course it's you." Jiusu's eyes fell on the appointment letter, "The name of Magistrate Tan should be on it."

Tan Chen's eyes were blurred with tears and he felt like he couldn't even recognize the words.

He cried, "My wife said that I would never be able to become a high-ranking official in my lifetime and that I would be a useless person. She also said that if I could become a high-ranking official, she would wash my feet..."

He cried and then started to laugh.

This is how he has been living all these years.

But at this moment, his waist straightened.

Jiusu smiled and urged, "Then Master Tan, please leave for home quickly."

Tan Chen bowed deeply and said, "I thank the Prime Minister and his wife. I will always remember your kindness and generosity."

That night, Tan Chen packed up and left.

Time waits for no one. At the beginning of spring, after dealing with things here, Jiusu and others left. This time, they went to the southernmost tip of Xu State.

This place is almost entirely a place of exile.

If merchants stepped in, it was to collude with the government and obtain cheap labor.

Bai Luoxue showed worry on her face. She suggested, "Jiusu, giving birth here is very difficult. Why don't you and the Prime Minister go somewhere else first?"

"I'll feel more at ease if I go with you." Jiusu's eyes fell on her.

It’s not that she doesn’t believe Bai Luoxue.

But Bai Luoxue has a straightforward personality. She scolds when she is angry and is easily exposed. Besides, Gao Jing likes Bai Luoxue, so even if he has his own ideas, he will probably listen to her in everything.

Of course it will be resolved in the end.

But it will be troublesome.

She took a deep breath.

With only one month left before giving birth, she felt both nervous and excited.

Jiang Jing put his hand on her waist and rubbed it gently. He said gently and lovingly: "Lean on me and you will be there after a while."

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Jiusu was awakened by the faint sound of moving stones outside. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Jing. He had been staying by her side these days.

She took the offered glass of water.

The voice is still hoarse.

"What's that sound outside?"

Jiang Jing said, "They are prisoners exiled here, and they are building bridges and roads."

This time, they disguised themselves as businessmen.

The best inn here is also very simple, but it has a system and soft bedding to make heavy bodies more comfortable.
