No matter how angry and scolding the old man was, Zhang Wen said what he meant, patting the wine jar, "Wouldn't it be better to enjoy your old age in peace, Father?"
They were so self-righteous and served the people for half their lives, but what did those people ever give back to the Zhang family?
Zhang Wen concealed the darkness in his eyes, knowing that only by seizing the power and benefits in his hands could he truly repay himself.
Master Zhang's breath hitched, and his body trembled with rage. "Get out!"
Zhang Wen paused slightly, then flicked his sleeve and left.
Mingyue is a menace; we can't let this drag on. He still has to find a way to send her to her death.
As night fell, the bright moon climbed onto the roof of the study, gently lifted the tiles, and lightly touched the ground with its toes.
She knocked on various parts of the study, and finally when she knocked on the bookshelf, she heard a hollow sound. Mingyue groped her way through the hidden passage and pulled out a book.
The bookshelf slowly opened, revealing a secret passage. Mingyue stepped inside and walked for almost a quarter of an hour before seeing mountains of gold.
Mingyue expressionlessly scooped up a handful of gold, held it in her hand, and left only after confirming there were no other traps.
After the free clinic in the city began, all the doctors gathered on a piece of wasteland and set up fifty tables, with one doctor sitting at each table.
People flocked to the clinic, and unexpected situations arose from time to time. The experienced doctors immediately began to treat patients, and the atmosphere at the scene was more enthusiastic than ever before.
"Your Excellency, where can we get so much money?"
Come to my yard the night before you pay the deposit.
Ji Yong'an hesitated, "That's not a good idea, I don't have that much money."
"Do you want to become a delicious meat patty?"
Ji Yong'an's heart skipped a beat, and large beads of sweat gathered on his forehead. He instantly recalled the scene of adults picking leaves to make throwing knives during the bandit suppression.
He actually dared to make such a joke with adults; he's incredibly audacious.
"No, no, I was wrong, sir."
Mingyue withdrew her eerie gaze and said, "Find someone to move the bodies that died in the city to the back mountain and burn them."
"Yes!" Ji Yong'an scurried away quickly.
On the other side, Zhang Wen didn't want to see the people cheering and responding to the bright moon, so he stayed in the city lord's mansion. "Has Boss Li replied?"
"No, they stay at home all the time."
Zhang Wen slammed his fist on the table in anger. "The Imperial Advisor has only just begun to show his talent, and this Li the Skinflint wants to sever ties with the Zhang family? Does he think swallowing up the other embroidery shops in the city is so easy? Make him reply immediately!"
"……yes."
They're all idiots! Zhang Wen was so angry he felt dizzy. He only got a few words of praise for his free clinic. If he just posted a few messages, there would be plenty of people criticizing him.
"By the way, how much silver did the Imperial Advisor approve?"
"A total of one million taels."
"One million taels?" Zhang Wen laughed loudly. "Is that enough to pay the securities fund? Very well, very well. It's all a lie that you've been spreading rumors that the Grand Preceptor doesn't have the funds to pay the securities fund."
"No, don't rush. We'll spread the medicine on the second night. Today is just the beginning, so even if the doctors see patients, they won't be able to use much medicine. Let's wait until tomorrow."
The public who have been deceived will be furious; it remains to be seen whether the imperial advisor can withstand it.
"yes."
Just as Zhang Wen had predicted, the news was released the next day, and by the third day, the doctors were all returning to their clinics and refusing to work.
The city lord's mansion was instantly surrounded by crowds of people. Zhang Wen was satisfied with this scene and secretly left in a carriage from the back.
He was just waiting to see how the Imperial Advisor would handle it!
The men brought by Ji Yong'an could not stop the frenzied crowd, and the other guards of the city lord's mansion did not see a single one.
"Your Excellency, what should we do now?"
