The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented
Chapter 25 Xiao Lian just felt sorry for her brother
"Daddy's back with the money! Daddy's back with the money!"
A child snatched the salary that Wang Hu had brought back and handed it to Wang Hu's concubine.
The concubine had a delicate and frail appearance, and her figure was so slender that she seemed as if a gust of wind could topple her over. She looked so pitiful that I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
However, after weighing the money bag in his hand, he frowned imperceptibly. After opening it and counting the money, his frown deepened.
She glanced at Wang Hu, who seemed to have something to say, then said softly, "Brother Hu, why is the salary so much less?"
"Did you go drinking with brothels, Tiger Brother?"
"Sigh, it's all Xiaolian's fault. She didn't please Brother Tiger and had to go outside..."
"No, no!" Wang Hu quickly explained, "How could I not like you? If I didn't like you, why would I have taken you into my family in the first place? And why would I have divorced my wife for you?"
"Since I got together with Xiaolian, I haven't gone to brothels again."
"And this money..."
"Sigh!" Wang Hu sighed, "Didn't an imperial envoy come to our Yunji City? He changed the rules while General Zhan was in the capital to meet His Majesty."
"The inspection team has withdrawn. Now, I'm no different from an ordinary soldier."
"So, this is all I can take."
"Besides, this is the maximum amount we can receive from now on!"
At this point, Wang Hu was also furious. He slammed his fist on the table with a "bang," smashing even the teacup.
Xiao Lian's eyes instantly turned red.
She first squatted down and picked up the broken pieces of the teacup, accidentally cutting her delicate finger in the process. Then she stood up and, ignoring her injury, poured tea for Wang Hu.
She said softly, "Brother Tiger, please don't upset yourself."
"Xiao Lian knows that you are unhappy, Brother Hu. Before, you were a respected member of the inspection team in Yunji City. Everyone had to be respectful to you."
"We've never lacked money at home, Tiger Brother, you always have a way to get it back."
"With Xiaolian and her son following you, they can have more clothes to wear and dress up."
"But now you're no different from an ordinary soldier, and your salary will only be this much in the future... How will you survive?"
As she spoke, Xiao Lian's eyes reddened further, and she looked on the verge of tears. Combined with her bleeding and injured little finger, she was truly a pitiful sight, enough to make any man feel sorry for her.
Wang Hu quickly hugged Xiao Lian into his arms, stroking his son's head with his other hand, while the anger and resentment in his eyes grew stronger.
"Brother Tiger..." Xiao Lian whispered in his ear, "You're different from ordinary soldiers. You're so capable that even General Zhan praises you."
"You were such a hero when you saved Xiaolian."
"How can you be like those soldiers, repairing the city walls and digging the moat? That would be too humiliating for you, Brother Tiger."
"With your abilities, how could you end up like this?"
Before she could finish speaking, a child beside her blurted out, "If you're not capable, you don't deserve to be my dad."
"Don't talk nonsense, go play somewhere else."
Xiao Lian quickly held her son down, and when she turned her face to meet Wang Hu's eyes, tears instantly streamed down her fair face like glistening pearls.
"Brother Tiger, I am a weak woman and don't understand any grand principles, but I also know that someone as capable as you shouldn't be like this."
"With your abilities, you could definitely climb the ranks."
"If General Zhan values you, why can't the new master appreciate you?"
"Brother Tiger, for Xiaolian's sake, for our son's sake, for our family of three, you should fight for it!"
The anger in Wang Hu's eyes was gradually replaced by a surging, unwavering ambition, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
Yes!
When General Zhan was in power, Wang Hu was able to become a member of the inspection team. Now that the imperial envoy has taken over, why can't he become a member of the newly established inspection team?
Even if he can't become a member of the disciplinary team, he should at least get back the treatment he used to receive!
Wang Hu instantly formed a rough idea in his mind.
He knew that the newly arrived imperial envoy did not like them, his brothers in the inspection team, and might even deliberately suppress them.
But he couldn't take it anymore!
We must fight for it!
Let's work together with the brothers from the previous inspection team to fight for it!
At this moment, Xiao Lian was already wiping away tears with a handkerchief, her face filled with helplessness. She said, "Brother Tiger, Xiao Lian didn't ask you to cause trouble."
"Xiao Lian..."
"Xiao Lian is just feeling sorry for her brother!"
"I don't want my brother to suffer such a great injustice."
"Brother Tiger, why don't you go talk to the old brothers and discuss it together with the new imperial envoy?"
"We can't keep suffering like this!"
As she finished speaking, Wang Hu felt relieved.
He slammed his hand on the table again, making the roof tiles rattle. He stood up abruptly and said, "Xiao Lian, you're right. I, Wang Hu, am a hero like you. How can I be like those ordinary soldiers?"
"snort!"
"This is a deliberate attempt to humiliate me, Wang Hu!"
"I'm not reconciled!"
After a pause, he said to Xiao Lian, "Xiao Lian, don't worry, I'll go find those brothers now. Many of them are dissatisfied with the new imperial envoy."
"Let's discuss this."
"If the new imperial envoy restores our previous treatment, that's fine. But if not... Hmph, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. I, Wang Hu, will let the new imperial envoy know that we are not to be trifled with!"
Wang Hu got up and walked out, just as he bumped into his son, who had been kicked out by Xiao Lian. The son was holding an exquisitely crafted bamboo dragonfly and smiling at him.
Wang Hu's intense emotions surged even more fiercely.
He bought this bamboo dragonfly for his son for two taels of silver.
If a toy costs this much, how can he support his son and his weak and helpless mistress with only 2.5 taels of silver a month?
We have to do it!
We absolutely have to do it!
Soon, he left home and found his former brothers from the inspection team, only to discover that most of them shared the same thoughts.
On what grounds should the newly arrived imperial envoy lower their treatment?
General Zhan has only just left Yunji City, and he already wants to make a move against them? Hmph, they are the elders of Yunji City, having lived here for generations. They are local bullies, how can they be so easily manipulated?
They discussed things together and kept contacting more brothers.
The more they contacted them, the more they discovered that too many brothers in Yunji City were dissatisfied. Some even speculated that the newly arrived imperial envoy was deliberately misleading them with information about the Chifeng Army in order to seize military power in Yunji City.
"I think this imperial envoy just wants to suppress our General Zhan and compete with him for His Majesty's favor!"
"I think so too. This newly arrived imperial envoy is plotting something sinister. We have received great kindness from General Zhan, so we must defend Yunji City for him!"
"Those eight hundred men of theirs occupied all the important positions as soon as they arrived, and they've taken control of the city's food supplies and salaries. It's clear they're plotting something sinister. General Zhan may have gone to the capital, but we can't let him suffer this loss!"
"That's right. Let's go and reason with the imperial envoy. If he can't explain himself, we'll go on strike. I want to see if this imperial envoy can handle so many people going on strike!"
"Yes, we also need to show the newly arrived imperial envoy what we're capable of!"
……
In just one day, these people gathered more than 500 people, all of whom were loyal followers of Zhan Shubai.
After reaching an agreement, the group headed straight for the General's Mansion in Yunji City on the morning of the second day!
They want justice for them!
We must seek justice for Zhan Shubai!
We must also show Ren Tianye how powerful they are!
