Yan's foreign relatives, give Da Yan a little Xuanwu Gate shock

"Master Huang is the one who died!"

“No one cares how long he’s been dead.”

Yan Junyan's cold attitude made Huang's eyes widen.

She looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Rites who often came to Huang's house, and could not help but rush over: "No, there is another secret behind Mr. Huang's death! You were there that day, and you also know that it must be that Yuan..."

A long, silver sword lay before her.

The sudden appearance of the sword frightened Huang so much that he collapsed to the ground.

"The Huang family has smart people, so they will naturally have ways to rise. But you..."

Yan Junyan smiled and asked his servant to bring a glass of wine:

"Madam Huang, you have lived a good life with Minister Huang for ten years, and you have too many children to count. I hope you can uphold your husband's integrity and make decisions when necessary, and don't bring shame to the Huang family!"

……

The Seventh Mansion is a luxuriously decorated mansion.

Seeing Huang spitting blood after being forced to drink the wine, a hand covered with yellow-gray scales closed the window, turned on the Originium light, picked up a cup of brewed Great Wilderness Green Leaf Tea, and put it into his mouth.

"Yan Junyan used him to get rid of Minister Huang. Zhenlong used him to quell the banditry at Hangu Pass. The Ministry of Revenue is busy filling the vacancy left by Minister Huang's death, so I don't think they will care about his Western medicine store anymore."

"I've seen over the past few days that his account had already been in the red, and then that old and confused General Zuo directly settled the account. From now on, he will only make more and more money. By then, maybe I will have to become a pawn in his plan and help him sell western medicine to Dahuang City..."

A young-looking young man with dragon horns touched his chin and sighed.

"Brother, what you said doesn't make sense. Why do you need my help? Isn't it getting better and better?"

Chapter 73: You stinky embroiderer, how dare you!

"Sui Laoqi, tell me the truth, was it you who did the attack on Hangu Pass?"

An unceremonious voice came first.

The blonde girl kicked the door open, and her bright golden eyes immediately saw the young man sitting by the window drinking tea.

Under the distressed gaze of the dragon-horned young man, she smashed the fragrant wooden door against the wall, turning it into white threads that entangled the blonde girl. Before it touched anyone, it spontaneously combusted.

"Do you think you'll come to my house just because I came back to have a cup of tea?"

The young man called Old Seven put down his teacup and sighed silently.

Fragments of the year, six boys and six girls.

In front of him is the seventh-ranked fragment of the year, the third brother who has the power to weave cause and effect, Ji.

The blonde girl shouted, "Hurry up and tell me what happened at Hangu Pass, or I'll burn your luxurious mansion into ashes! You're getting bolder, are you going to just dig Sui out next time?"

"It has nothing to do with me, what are you talking about."

"Then tell me, who did it?"

"I know, my elder brother knows, and my elder sister knows too."

Ji took out a round white jade stone and changed the subject.

"The other party bought something from you, so I came to check if there was any problem with the goods and to see if the buyer had paid the subsequent payment. I'm a businessman and I can't disclose the buyer's information."

"There are still people like this in the capital? Making friends with the Year Beast and commanding evil spirits. Why don't you say that he is still a noble of Dayan?"

The blonde girl sneered.

Her face was full of disbelief.

"Stop talking nonsense! I'll count to three. If you don't tell me, I'll burn your table! Three!"

She just snapped her fingers, and the table and teacup in front of her were burned to ashes by the golden flames.

"You can't afford to know the answer. So, no comment."

Ji put away his smile, and at some point the delicate jade shuttle in his hand was raised, causing his figure to disappear.

He disappeared so quickly that the blonde girl, who thought she had evidence of Ji's return to the capital, flew into a rage: "Wait, Sui Laoqi, how dare you! Don't run... Damn it, don't show up in the capital if you have the guts!"

The room was empty.

She could only angrily hold the exquisite paintings on the wall and kicked several of them in succession, stopping in front of a detailed landscape painting.

"Xi's work? Never mind. I can't come here for nothing..."

And the other side.

Ji strolled in the space he constructed with his power.

The colorless thread was wrapped around the black crossbow arrow, suspended in the air. The thread tried to touch the black part of the crossbow arrow, but it made the black part escape and dissipate, turning into an ordinary arrow.

"There is no doubt that it is the characteristic of passing through the collapsed space. However, the arrow did not become filthy. Ordinary people would not be polluted if they slept with it for a day and a night. The pollution is even actively hidden..."

He narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and let the silk thread drag the arrow in front of his eyes.

"No, it's not so much hiding as being extremely conservative and extremely controllable... Is this true?"

The Year Phase Agent is much more sensitive to the collapse of space than humans, and is equally powerless in the face of evil demons. Even the Agent that can make plants grow on the Originium can only do a one-for-one exchange when facing evil demon fragments.

Collapsing space is the home ground of evil, and any Terran creature that enters it will die.

But what if it was Yuan Congqian? What would happen when he faced the evil demons in the Northern Wilderness and the evil demon fragments under the Great Wilderness City?

Before letting Yuan Congqian expose himself to the old master, Ji wanted to personally confirm whether his "collapse paradigm" spell was really that controllable. If such a person who was close to the beast really used magic to seize the power of the evil spirit...

Ji is over a thousand years old, and he was not a steady person in the past. He had quarreled with his kind third sister ten years ago. But facing such an opportunity that he had never encountered in a thousand years, he became more cautious than ever before.

"Then I have no choice but to exaggerate this business that Big Brother took over and your sister escorted."

......

"Yuan Jun!"

Yuan Congqian looked at the man who was kneeling in front of him.

His forehead was pressed against the floor of the pharmacy office. His dark blue hair and cat ears showed his identity. Huang Renzhao's third son, Huang Chengye, Huang Sanlang.

"There are rumors that I beat your father when he was alive, so I should be considered your enemy. Mr. Huang, what is the meaning of kneeling in front of your father's enemy?"

Baizao Jingzhaoyin released the latest public opinion report:

After Minister Huang died in a mountain banditry, his wife Huang found his annual correspondence with Columbia and evidence of his malicious burning of documents from the Ministry of Revenue when she was tidying up the study. All the documents from the Ministry of Revenue that he brought home for work had been burned.

Out of shame, his wife Huang handed over all the stolen money to the court and committed suicide to apologize.

Zhenlong was furious and asked the Ministry of Revenue to conduct a self-examination and supplement the contents of the files. He also severely reprimanded the Imperial Censor of the Suzhengyuan. At the same time, he granted Huang a partial pardon for his voluntary confession, but only ordered him to change his surname and exile him to Dahuang City.

As for the small news that the Shaofu invested an additional 2 million taels in the Western Medicine Store, there is no need to mention it.

Huang Saburo knelt on the ground without raising his head:

"My father is a millionaire, but his greed is still insatiable. He has searched high and low, and this is the result."

"Should there be such a result? What result?"

Yuan Congqian smiled silently.

"Going to Dahuang City to farm for a few years, is that already too much pain for you? Your family is basically intact, and you can start a new life in Dahuang City after selling your property."

Officialdom requires a sense of stoppage. All the Huang family members who deserved death have died, and the blame has been taken. The Huang family cannot really be exterminated. After going to Dahuang City, they will be a new Dahuang Huang family, and they can become a wealthy business after some business operation.

Besides not being able to hold office, aren't they still stepping on the heads of the people of Dayan?

His next sentence surprised Yuan Congqian.

"It was not the bandits who killed my father, but my father himself. It was not Mr. Yuan who made the Huang family flee to their own ends, but the Huang family!"

Yuan Congqian asked curiously:

"Oh? I heard that it was because I beat your father that he went out of town to meet someone secretly at night. Besides, the Western Pharmacy is making a lot of money nowadays, and I don't know how many people want to come in. Why would I need you?"

"Some members of the Huang family have fled to Jiang Qi and changed their names. Some are ready to follow the government's orders and go to the Great Wilderness. But the limit they can do is just to let the Huang family have another father and add a new grave. I don't want to do that! Now that my father is dead and the Huang family is finished, I am willing to tell you all the assets that the Huang family has hidden and not divided. I only hope that you can let me work as a clerk in the Western Pharmacy!"

Chapter 74: Can I be your bodyguard for life?

The Huang family's assets were either confiscated or divided up by Huang Renzhao's descendants. Huang Saburo was a smarter man than his father, so it was not surprising that he had possession of the property deeds in the name of others.

"The pharmacy is not big, and there is enough space for your family to sleep in a room. If you really have the assets that Huang's family has hidden, give them to me before the Dali Temple confiscates them, and I am willing to agree to this deal."

Yuan Congqian took out a small copper seal of a western medicine pharmacy and played with it in his hands.

He was the right chancellor of the Western Pharmacy. The Western Pharmacy was not under the jurisdiction of the six ministries of the imperial court, so he naturally had the power to appoint officials.

"But I am a little confused about this deal. Huang Sanlang, you started as a clerk in the Western Medicine Bureau and you want to climb up step by step, to the top, to a position higher than your father's third-rank minister... why is it for that?"

"……revenge."

"Revenge?" Yuan Congqian laughed dumbly, "From me?"

To whom? To Yuan Congqian who was preparing to shelter him in the capital?

"My father is dead. All the grudges in his life are against the Huang family. We have nothing to do with him anymore. If anyone wants to take revenge, I will accept it. If anyone wants to pay, I will repay them. However, the Ministry of Revenue is trying to add insult to injury. I am unwilling to forgive them."

Huang Saburo clenched his fists, with an inexplicable emotion in his calm voice.

Yuan Congqian stared at Huang Sanlang without saying a word.

The descendants of nobles usually become more and more anthropomorphic. There are very few who can produce three generations of people like Huang Renzhao, Huang Sanlang, and Huang Maomao. Zuo Le has already shown a tendency to anthropomorphize. I wonder if it gets better in the plot later.

Lin's Lin Qingyan was also used. She lost her position as a junior official in the Dali Temple and was exiled to Rhodes Island. The secret record discussed procedural justice and outcome justice for a long time, but in the end, she was used as a knife by the mastermind behind the scenes, which also touched on anthropomorphism.

Huang Sanlang stared at him until his forehead hit the ground and he was sweating profusely. He then withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Minister Huang is so lucky to have a descendant like you."

"My father is just a criminal, I dare not call myself Huang."

"Come to think of it, the True Dragon has already ordered your family's surname Huang to be taken away. From now on, even in history books, you can only be called Gu Renzhao and Gu Chengye. Have you chosen your next surname?"

Huang Sanlang said: "Please give me a surname, Right Prime Minister."

Yuan Congqian searched his mind for a moment and thought of a little-known Frisbee catching scholar.

"Then from today on, your surname will be Hu. If you have a child, let the character Huang appear in her name, or use it as her nickname, and that will help you resolve your knot."

He helped Huang Saburo up from the ground and handed him the bronze seal.

"That group of students is very energetic, but they lack strategy. You might as well follow them."

……

"Your position will not remain as the fourth-rank Right Prime Minister of the Western Medicine Bureau."

After Hu Sanlang left, Qiu Fengshu said to Yuan Congqian.

"Huang Sanlang is not an ordinary person, as he can drag his family property to seek asylum. If you go to a higher position, he will sooner or later climb to a high position in the Western Medicine Bureau. If he bites back at you, what should you do?"

"Mrs. Qiu, this is why you don't understand human nature."

"How do you interpret this?"

"I want to protect a branch of the Huang family. No one in the capital can hide this. But it's not a big deal. Other branches of the Huang family will also offer their property to find someone to protect them."

Yuan Congqian slowly spoke out the rules of the game which would not be spoken openly.

"But if he turns against his benefactor, it will be a big deal."

The world of fame and fortune in the capital was organized by benefactors, so an important unspoken rule was that you could not betray your benefactors. Whoever recommended you, whoever protected you, whoever presided over the imperial examination you participated in, had a relationship with you.

If you betray him, you will be ostracized by the civil servants regardless of your faction. Who else would dare to accept someone who doesn't play by the rules? What if you get bitten again?

He said this without understanding human nature, he was just teasing Qiu Fengshu.

"I don't understand these rules... Many people have told me that I don't understand them."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Fengshu looked a little discouraged when he heard these words.

"I don't understand these rules. I can only learn and imitate. They said that the behavior of the Grand Chamberlain has deep meaning, so I imitated the Grand Chamberlain and became meaningful. But why can't even these rules that I want to learn be said openly?"

"Just a rule of little intellectual value."

"I can remember the duties of each rank of official, but I don't know why these rules, which are obviously in line with human nature, cannot be spoken out; I don't understand why someone would be killed and thrown into a well by the Grand Chamberlain if he said something.

I also don't understand what the True Dragon meant by the phrase "serving the country with righteousness" that he gave to you. Isn't "serving the country with righteousness" meant to honor the old Heavenly Master? Why is it criticizing you?"

Qiu Fengshu whispered her confusion.

She seemed distressed, even painful, about her current situation of being unable to help Yuan Congqian.

But in Yuan Congqian's opinion, her distress was no different from the mental exhaustion of college students who were exposed to society for the first time. At most, Qiu Fengshu's saintly nature had been alienated by the officialdom.

Officials believe that being well-versed in human relationships and being able to understand the boss's deep meaning is impressive.
