Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Under the ruthless exploitation of her senior brother Yang Che, Nongyu could only play the role of a zither player, playing the zither for Yang Che without complaint.

As for Nongyu, when faced with the oppression of her senior brother, she could not resist, but her zither music contained a bit more fire. Yangchun was still Yangchun, but it was a bit hotter, as if she was using it to protest against her senior brother's exploitation.

As the sun began to set, Yang Che and Nongyu left the old musician's house. After saying goodbye to each other, they went their separate ways at the end of the street.

Yang Che wasn't in a hurry and walked towards the Left Sima's residence. He strolled leisurely in his carriage, enjoying himself immensely. By the time he returned to the residence, the moon had already passed the treetops.

When he stepped into the courtyard, Liu Yi was already waiting there. To be more precise, Liu Yi had never left; he was waiting for Yang Che to return.

"Uncle, were you waiting for me?" Now that he had seen Liu Yi, Yang Che naturally had no reason to avoid him and went to greet him.

"There are very few people left in all of South Korea who can compare to me, and you, Archer, are one of them." Liu Yi looked Yang Che up and down, quite satisfied.

When Liu Yi learned from Madam Hu that Yang Che had been spending his days visiting the young prostitute at Zilan Pavilion, he was not angry at all. Instead, he felt genuinely gratified: his nephew had grown up and knew how to find women.

If Liu Yi had any complaints about Yang Che, it was only this: why did Yang Che choose a virgin prostitute? What flavor does a young girl have? Bland and tasteless. His nephew's taste was truly...

Liu Yi felt that as an uncle, he needed to find some time to impart some knowledge about women to his nephew.

Of course, these are all things for later. Liu Yi waited for Yang Che because there were more important things to discuss.

If Yang Che knew how Liu Yi viewed him, he would definitely scoff: "Is this your excuse for scheming against someone else's sweetheart and stealing another man's wife?"

After having his servants bring out the wine and dishes that had been prepared, Liu Yi first drank a few cups with Yang Che, and then let Yang Che eat some food to fill his stomach before saying, "I have already found you a job, and you can take up your post in a couple of days."

"The errand?" Yang Che put down his chopsticks. Liu Yi had mentioned this matter on his first day back, so it had been taken care of.

Yang Che was also quite helpless. Even if time and space changed, he could not escape the fate of going to work. It seemed that it was a terrible thing for a man to not have a career.

"The Inner Historian is a prestigious and respected position among civil officials. Zhang Kaidi and his son Zhang Ping both started their careers as Inner Historians, rising through the ranks to become the Inner Historian Director and eventually the Chancellor. The Zhang family's power was so great that even a powerful general would have to be wary of them," Liu Yi explained, seemingly worried that Yang Che might not value the position of Inner Historian.

"I've heard that there are no fewer than twenty secretaries in the Imperial Secretariat. What area am I responsible for as a secretary?" Yang Che asked.

The Inner Secretariat was an institution with a considerable number of staff, from the Inner Secretariat Director to the Inner Secretariat, each with their own responsibilities. Some were in charge of supervising the various districts of Xinzheng, the capital of Han, others were in charge of the various parts of the Han King's palace, still others were in charge of the sacrifices, and even the chief stewards of the various princes' residences were also Inner Secretariats in the officialdom.

"The palace is full of traps, and the waters there run deep. Archer, you are still young and can't handle it. Once you take on the position of the steward of each young master's residence, it almost means you've chosen a side. You'll share the same fate as the young masters, and it's not worth it. After thinking it over, I think there's only one place that's most suitable for you," Liu Yi analyzed to Yang Che.

As a military general, it was really difficult for Liu Yi to analyze the intricate complexities of the civil service system in such detail.

"Uncle, are you referring to the history of the city patrol?" Yang Che seemed to have already understood.

"That's right, it's the City Patrol Officer. Although the City Patrol Officer is prone to offending people, with me supporting you behind the scenes, in Xinzheng, apart from a handful of people, we're really not afraid of offending anyone. The City Patrol Officer is in charge of a district. Others may find it difficult to make a name for themselves, but we are different," Liu Yi said.

As the Left Sima, he commanded a unit of troops. In the entire Xinzheng, apart from the Grand General and the Marquis of Blood Robe, he was the third most powerful figure in the military. With his support, the position of Inspector of the City, which others could not perform well, was not a problem for Yang Che.

As long as Yang Che can achieve something, coupled with his network of connections, it will be very easy to push Yang Che to a higher position.

"City Patrolman, that's not bad, but which area am I responsible for as a city patrolman?" Yang Che asked.

The new city is quite large. Apart from the royal palace in the north, it is divided into four areas. The west area is where the powerful and wealthy gather. The south part of the east area is a commercial hub. The north part of the east area is inhabited by many artisans. The south area is mostly inhabited by people without permanent property, who work in various places in Xinzheng doing jobs that others don't want to do.

The churches in the southern and southeastern city areas are also the most active places for gang forces. Although Yang Che has not been back in Xinzheng for long, he has heard of gangs such as the Poison Scorpion Sect and the Seven Absolutes Hall.

"The West City is full of powerful and wealthy people, and it's too troublesome to deal with them. The East City is full of artisans and poor people, so there's not much profit to be made. Only the South City is different. It's commercially developed, which represents endless wealth, and the merchants don't have a high social status, so it's easy to manipulate them."

Liu Yi's analysis was quite logical, but the content of his words clearly indicated that he was not a loyal and honest person, and that he was only thinking about getting promoted and making money.

If all of South Korea's bureaucrats are like this, what future does it have?

Well, even if South Korea has all the loyal ministers and generals, it seems that South Korea has little future in the current situation of the seven kingdoms.

"Uncle's insight is brilliant. Nancheng is indeed a place with great potential," Yang Che flattered.

The southern part of the city is a treasure trove! Where is Zilan Pavilion?

If I held an official position, I should be able to go to Zilan Pavilion without paying in the future. Yang Che's thoughts had clearly wandered far away.

If Liu Yi knew what Yang Che was thinking at this moment, he would probably be furious. He had painstakingly planned for an official position so that Yang Che could have a bright future, but in Yang Che's eyes, the position of the Southern City Historian had become a sign that allowed him to go to brothels without paying.

"Archer, do a good job, and everything your uncle has will be yours in the future," Liu Yi encouraged.

Really? Does that include Madam Hu too? Yang Che instantly perked up, though such a wicked thought only lasted a moment.

Now that he is the leader of the Flower Sect, he follows an elegant path and would never have such filthy thoughts.

"Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely bring honor to our Liu family," Yang Che assured him.

Although Liu Yi wasn't a good person, he was still very kind to Yang Che. Yang Che wasn't an ungrateful person, and in the future, he might even have to protect Liu Yi's life.

After drinking to their hearts' content, the two returned home exhausted. The next day, Liu Yi planned to take Yang Che to the Imperial Secretariat to report, but their plans were disrupted by the sudden appearance of a palace attendant from the Han King's palace.

"Your Majesty heard from Consort Hu that the Left Sima's nephew is a scholar who has returned from studying at the Jixia Academy. He must be a learned man. Your Majesty also remembered that the Ninth Prince is still studying at the Jixia Academy. Therefore, Your Majesty specially summoned Minister Yang. Minister Yang, this is a tremendous opportunity!" said the palace attendant of King Han with a smile.

Although he was a close confidant of Prince Han An, he dared not be negligent when facing Liu Yi. Liu Yi was already in a high position and held great power, and because of the Hu sisters, he was also related to Prince Han An by marriage, so he could not afford to be careless.

"Archer, it seems your aunt still cares about you." Liu Yi was very happy. He didn't have the face to get Hu Meiren to help him; only Madam Hu had that kind of face.

He had been quite resentful of Madam Hu's cold attitude towards Yang Che, but he never expected that she would be willing to lend a helping hand at this crucial moment. This was probably because of his reputation.

My wife still has feelings for me. Liu Yi thought to herself with a sweet smile, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

My perseverance over the years has finally paid off.

"My aunt does care about me a lot." Yang Che's eyes twitched slightly. Liu Yi's behavior was simply unbearable to watch. A rough and even barbaric middle-aged man actually showed the kind of infatuation that only a young man would have. It was simply unbearable to look at.

You, Zuo Sima, who should clearly be on the path of arrogance and dominance, insist on playing the innocent one. Aren't you just asking for trouble?

Of course, these things cannot be said directly, and no one knows whether Liu Yi is enjoying it or not.
