Even Kong Jijiu, who was as steady as a rock, was startled by his appearance and almost choked on the rice in his mouth.
He had never seen Pei Yan lose his composure like this. What terrible event had happened?
Your wife ran away with someone?
Pei Yan became even more anxious when he saw that Kong Jijiu didn't say anything.
"Master Jijiu, I want to go home. If I don't go back, I will be left without a wife."
When his wife sent him out today, she spoke strangely and there were tears in her eyes.
Now that I think about it, she was saying goodbye.
Kong Jijiu: “…”
Kong Jijiu waved his hand. His wife was about to die, but he still asked for leave here. Pei Yan was just too comprehensive.
Pei Yan turned around and ran outside. When Jiang Yueyang heard the noise and came out, she only saw Pei Yan's fleeting back.
Jiang Yueyang, who was born with a curious heart, randomly grabbed a lucky person and asked, "Where is Master Pei going?"
Lucky bowed and replied, "I don't know. I only saw Lord Pei running out of Kong Jijiu's office in a hurry."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang turned around and went back to her office.
After a while, she came out with a stack of papers and went to Kong Jijiu's office.
Kong Jijiu looked up when he heard footsteps, and his eyes fell on the manuscript in her hand.
He asked calmly, "Master Xiao Jiang, what do you want?"
Jiang Yueyang raised her chin towards him, indicating that he should clear away the unfinished food on the table.
Kong Jijiu: “…”
Kong Jijiu was silent for a while before he moved the food on the table to the side.
Jiang Yueyang put the manuscript in front of Kong Jijiu, "Master Jijiu, this is the planting manual that I asked Master Pei to write for me. I'd like to trouble you to pass it to the Minister of Agriculture."
Kong Jijiu raised his hand and flipped it over, then said he would pass it on.
After a moment, seeing Jiang Yueyang still standing there without moving, he asked in confusion: "Anything else?"
Jiang Yueyang grinned, "Master Jijiu, why is Master Pei leaving in such a hurry?"
"I sent him to do something." Kong Jijiu answered straightforwardly.
Jiang Yueyang said "oh" and subconsciously wanted to ask what they were going to do, but Kong Jijiu didn't give her the chance to ask.
"Don't ask too much. It's not something you should know."
Jiang Yueyang curled her lips and said, "I'll take my leave."
Then she turned around and walked out with her hands behind her back.
Kong Jijiu looked at her walking with her hands behind her back at such a young age and shook his head and laughed.
On the other side at that time, Pei Yan was walking very fast, he wanted to run, but he couldn't walk fast in the palace.
A quarter of an hour later, Pei Yan appeared at the palace gate. As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, he lifted up his official uniform and ran.
The imperial guards just glanced at him and then looked away. This man would be impeached tomorrow.
Not long after, Jiang Yueyang also came out.
Seeing that the dark-skinned imperial guard from the morning was not there, she asked a question.
"Why isn't the guard who was in charge of the inspection this morning here?"
The imperial guard who was asked clasped his fists and replied, "Master Xiao Jiang, he has asked for leave to go home for something."
Jiang Yueyang nodded, turned and walked towards her own carriage.
It seems that he took my words to heart, but I don’t know whether he and his wife can resolve the misunderstanding.
Qingzhi put down the footstool of the carriage, Jiang Yueyang climbed onto the carriage, changed her clothes, and then got down again.
"I won't take the bus today. Qingzhi, please accompany me to stroll along the street."
Now Xiangling no longer comes out to pick her up, and she just follows Lingfeng around to help all day long.
But all I'm doing is making things worse.
As of last night, Xiangling had killed three flowers and plants that Lingfeng had carefully cared for.
Jiang Yueyang said as they walked: "Qingzhi, I see you don't have many pieces of jewelry, shall we go buy some?"
"My lady, I don't need any jewelry."
"Nonsense, what girl doesn't need jewelry?"
Qingzhi looked embarrassed, "Miss, I don't have much silver."
"So that's what you're worried about?" Jiang Yueyang patted her chest, "Girl, I have money, I can buy whatever I want."
[Xiaogua, doesn't the secret guard industry make money? Normally, this kind of bloody job should pay very well! How can Qingzhi say that there is no money? ]
The system chuckled, [Because the emperor has no money and is stingy. Moreover, the emperor still owes them half a year's salary. ]
[What? Your Majesty owes them half a year's salary? What an unscrupulous boss! Only Qingzhi and the others can tolerate this. If it were me, I would twist off my hair if I didn't get it done for three days!]
Qingzhi & Qingming: !!! I knew the girl was vindictive, but I didn't know she was a bit violent.
The system couldn't help but laugh and said: [Host, do you know why the emperor gave these three to you? ]
【Why? 】
[Because Qingzhi and the other three were the most obedient, he felt guilty, so he found a rich master like you for them.]
[You are wrong.] Jiang Yueyang sneered, [Your Majesty may have some guilty conscience, but more importantly, he does not want to pay them!]
Qingzhi and Qingming nodded silently in agreement; they also saw through His Majesty's little thoughts.
But what else can we do?
They dare not twist your Majesty's head off.
As soon as the system saw her expression, it knew that she couldn't bear it. Maybe she even remembered the unpleasant experience of being owed wages in her previous life and eventually dying from overwork.
[What does the host intend to do? ]
[They are my people now, I want to help them get their wages back.]
Qingzhi and Qingming's eyes lit up at the same time. Is it true?
System: [You can ask for Qingming and Guyu's wages, but why do you ask for Qingzhi's wages? She is the maid your father found for you.]
Qingzhi: ...I almost forgot that I came from an unknown place.
[What's so difficult about this?] Jiang Yueyang was confident, [No compensation will be paid for the delayed salary. Your Majesty and I will ask for more money when the time comes to get Qingzhi's salary back.]
Qingzhi was very touched, the girl was so nice.
The host has always been very efficient. I guess he will go to the emperor to ask for his salary tomorrow.
I wish tomorrow could come soon.
Before they knew it, the three of them had reached Suzaku Street, which was bustling with people and shouts.
Occasionally, groups of children would run past, accompanied by laughter and joy, showing that the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous.
But after a moment, the children's laughter stopped abruptly, followed by screams of fear and the noisy sound of horse hooves.
Jiang Yueyang turned around suddenly and saw a man riding a horse galloping towards him, followed by a group of Dali Temple officials chasing him.
"Everyone be careful, get out of the way quickly." Qin Shi rode his horse and chased in the front.
The pedestrians in the middle of the road quickly dodged to the sides, but the children were so frightened that they stood there motionless.
"Qingming, save people."
Qingming and Qingzhi quickly ran over, hugged the children and hid aside. Qingming also kicked the horse in the belly.
The horse was frightened and the man fell off, but he quickly got up and rushed into a nearby shop and held a girl hostage.
"Let me go, or I'll kill her."
