The door to the doghouse was actually made of glazed glass, and it was a huge piece of glazed glass from top to bottom.

This is absolutely outrageous! Even the doghouse of a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Revenue has a glass sliding door!

Those who held official positions didn't even manage to get a single glass window in their homes.

This is truly a case of humans being treated worse than dogs.

Despite their resentment, no one considered the possibility that Zhao Minggeng had engaged in corruption or bribery.

After all, everyone knows that Lord Zhao's daughter is very wealthy.

My daughter is so rich, isn't it normal for me to be rich too?

Spurred on, the officers and soldiers quickly pulled the boy down from the tree.

Of course, the kite, which was used as physical evidence, was also knocked down with a long pole.

Whether it was intact or not, the people of the military command didn't care at all.

They took the person away and threw him directly into the Shuntian Prefecture.

The young people sitting in the living room were quite puzzled and nervous when they suddenly saw a lot of soldiers coming to the Zhao residence.

Some were even worried that if something happened to the Zhao family, it would implicate them.

However, since everyone was still sitting in the living room, those few people felt embarrassed to get up and leave.

Of course, this didn't stop them from watching the excitement.

The Zhao family's living room also had stained glass windows, so one could see clearly from inside the house to the outside.

So everyone gathered around the window to watch the spectacle.

Within fifteen minutes, a cacophony of footsteps could be heard, along with cries of injustice.

Soon, soldiers escorted a young man dressed as a servant out of the backyard.

Strangely, one of the soldiers behind them was carrying a kite.

The Huang family naturally couldn't let the military garrison make a trip for free.

He gave the steward a wink, and the steward, while seeing the person off, subtly handed over a packet of silver.

The squad leader weighed it in his hand and was very satisfied.

Lord Zhao's family is indeed shrewd.

Just for this bag of silver, I'll have to walk this way more often when I'm on patrol.

Alas, it seems that Lord Zhao has offended too many people, otherwise why would he be visited by thieves every few days?

After Zhao Qingyang and Zhao Qingbei returned from the backyard, they entered the living room and first apologized to everyone.

I gave a brief explanation: someone had entered the garden, but I don't know who they are, so it's hard to tell.

It's better to leave it to the government to handle.

Mo Jiuzhong is just a hothead.

"As far as I know, your esteemed household recently sent a group of thugs to Shuntian Prefecture."

"You sent someone else today. Did your family offend someone, or are you being targeted because your family is too rich?"

After he finished speaking, the living room fell silent, and no one answered his profound question.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Zhao Qingyang chuckled lightly.

My father has offended a lot of people.

Putting everything else aside, just take the issue of tax-exempt farmland...

My father probably offended every scholar, noble family, official, and imperial relative in the world.

Therefore, it's normal for someone to come looking for revenge.

But since we've already offended them, it's not something that can be resolved with an apology.

My father couldn't just retire and return to his hometown; given his age and appearance, he really wasn't old.

"How worrying!"

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became lively.

In terms of offending people, apart from the various censors, it seems that Zhao Minggeng really offended the most people.

He took away other people's cake as soon as he came in.

As for the censors, offending people is their duty; it would be surprising if they didn't offend anyone.

Therefore, no one would resent the imperial envoy.

Ironically, it's precisely people like Zhao Minggeng, who harm others without benefiting themselves, who are quite hated.

However, as the drama "Future" was repeatedly broadcast, my dislike for Zhao Minggeng lessened considerably.

Not everyone has the magnanimity of Zhao Minggeng, who was willing to be condemned by the people for the greater good of his country.

In fact, Zhao Minggeng was forced into this situation; he had no choice but to push forward.

The person in the palace assigned him the task, which meant that he had no choice but to succeed.

Besides, a country must exist before a family can exist.

Only when the country develops healthily can he, an insignificant official, live out the rest of his life in peace.

Zhao Minggeng served as a county magistrate for so many years, and now he's very laid-back.

He doesn't care who scolds him; he can't hear it anyway, and it won't hurt him.

If someone comes to him and starts swearing, he absolutely won't tolerate it.

If the other side sends a woman, then I'm sorry, he will make a move on her man.

Hitting a man is generally not considered wrong, right? As for whether the other person will get hurt, that depends on how tough they are.

Zhao Minggeng is just that kind of reasonable person.

The teenagers were amused by Zhao Qingyang's words.

Some people say,

"Young Master Zhao, since your father has offended so many people, aren't you brothers afraid of getting sacks tied to your clothes when you go out?"

Zhao Qingyang gave the other person a thumbs up.

“Brother, you are right. That’s why my younger brother and I rarely go out after we came to the capital.”

We were just worried that the color of the burlap sack wouldn't be nice, and it would do us brothers a disgrace.

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter. It was strange that such a refined person would make jokes.

Because of this visit, the good reputations of the two young masters of the Zhao family spread far and wide, praising them for their profound knowledge, great talent and strategy, indifference to fame and fortune, and lofty aspirations...

When the two Zhao brothers heard the evaluation of them, they were quite surprised and pointed to themselves.

"Are you sure it's me being talked about outside? So many effusive praises, are you sure it's a person and not a god?"

Rumors become increasingly unreliable the more they are passed on, eventually becoming completely distorted.

The person being mentioned in the rumors is unknown.

However, the rumors must not be allowed to continue to escalate. If they become too outrageous, they could easily bring trouble.

Even if it doesn't arouse suspicion from above, it's easy to attract jealousy from others.

Jealousy is the most terrifying thing; it can lead to attacks on strangers without any reason.

Zhao Minggeng took out his meager savings, hoping to settle everything.

They were stopped by the Zhao brothers, Zhao Qingyang and Zhao Qingyang.

"The reason there are so many rumors outside is simply because people don't understand us brothers."

There are very few people in the entire capital who know us brothers.

Why don't we brothers go out and get around more?

With more acquaintances, there are fewer false rumors.

Father should save the little money he has to give as New Year's money to the younger generation during festivals.

The money my son earns is enough for our family to live comfortably for the rest of our lives, and each of my younger brother's paintings is worth over a hundred taels of silver.

From now on, whenever money is needed, let our son pay for it.

Zhao Qingyang spoke the most hurtful words in a domineering manner: Zhao Minggeng was the poorest member of the whole family.

He greatly despised the few hundred taels of silver his father had left.

He also really admired his father.

It seems that all these years, none of the household expenses have touched his meager savings for his funeral, yet he has managed to live like a penniless pauper.

It would be fine if they just went out for food and drinks, but this person actually used all the money to give out New Year's money.
