Zhang Wen's face was ashamed as he questioned him word by word, but he was very good at hiding it. A sinister look flashed in his eyes, but he immediately put on a worried expression as he lifted his eyelids. "This...this was my oversight. I will arrange it immediately."
"In addition to this, summon all the doctors from the city's medical clinics to the city lord's mansion."
Why is that?
Mingyue looked at Zhang Wen with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you an idiot?", "I just mentioned the plague, why do you think I did that?"
Zhang Wen: ...
If he stayed any longer, he would lose all face. After bowing, Zhang Wen walked out with a dark face.
"Someone, pass on my order: close the city gates. The opening time is uncertain. Summon a team to arrest the doctors from the city clinics and bring them to the city lord's mansion."
Zhang Wen smiled sinisterly, gritting his teeth as he spat out a few words, "Just say it was the Imperial Advisor who ordered it."
"yes!"
"Wait a minute," Zhang Wen whispered to his servant, "Find a few refugees to cause trouble at the city gate. Do you know how to do it?"
The servant understood, "I get it!"
Zhang Wen nodded in satisfaction. "This is a reward for you."
The servant beamed with delight, his eyes lighting up. Five taels of silver! Sure enough, the city lord's mansion was incredibly wealthy!
Zhang Wen watched the servant leave indifferently; he was just a dying man.
The Imperial Advisor reminded him that if the assassination attempt failed, it would incite public anger and cause the Imperial Advisor to lose popular support. In that case, he would have to handle the distribution of supplies after being driven out.
Just as Zhang Wen gave the instructions, Mingyue gently interrupted the teacher's progress, "Teacher, please take a break. I have Xiaoyun take care of something."
The schoolteacher was exceptionally accommodating to this wealthy patron and immediately released him.
Xiaoyun looked gratefully at the adult who had saved her from dire straits, "Please give your orders, sir."
"Give this letter to Ji Yong'an. Remember, do not give it to anyone else; it must be given to him personally."
Xiaoyun nodded solemnly, "Understood, sir."
As long as I don't have to study, everything is fine!
Xiaoyun stuffed the letter into her sleeve and ran out quickly, as if a demon were chasing her.
Xiaoyun ran to Ji Yong'an's courtyard, but Ji Yong'an wasn't there. As she was walking back, she ran into the city lord's steward. "Steward Wu, I'd like to ask where General Ji is?"
"Do you need something from him? Do you need my help?"
Butler Wu had sharp eyes and immediately spotted what Xiaoyun had hidden in her sleeve.
"It's nothing, just some small things."
Xiaoyun's face was flushed from running, and she was acting coy and bashful, just like a young girl in heat.
Butler Wu understood and became indifferent to Xiaoyun. Indeed, General Ji was handsome and had achieved official rank.
Even some of the maids in the city lord's mansion have fallen for her; it seems that Xiaoyun has a love letter hidden in her sleeve.
"General Ji has gone to the backyard to practice martial arts."
"Okay, thank you, Butler Wu."
Xiaoyun ran away impatiently, which, in Butler Wu's eyes, was licentious.
Such a woman is actually a maidservant of the Grand Preceptor. If he had seen such scheming maidservants in the City Lord's Mansion, he would have sold them to a broker long ago.
After reading the letter Xiaoyun brought, Ji Yong'an wiped the sweat from his body and said, "I understand. Tell the master I'll go right now."
Xiaoyun, unaware of what was going on, happily went back after hearing the reply, though she walked very slowly.
Ji Yong'an changed his clothes and gathered the group of men who were with him as they left the city lord's mansion.
“One team will go to the city gate to calm the restless people, and the other team will follow me.”
The escort team was not large; ten people went to the city gate, and another ten followed behind Ji Yong'an.
