Chapter 465 [It’s great to have an insider]
Xue Wei said calmly, "You know my health condition. I haven't recovered even after taking so many medicines. I'm afraid I won't have any descendants in my lifetime."
Zhang Yuan, who was hiding in the dark, widened his eyes when he heard this. What does it mean to have no blessings for descendants?
Could it be that Master Xue is impotent? !
Zhang Yuan continued to listen to the conversation between the two.
Doctor Chen had no choice but to comfort him, "Master Xue, please don't say that. You have led the people of Northwest China to live a good life and have accumulated so much blessings. God will definitely bless you."
Xue Wei sighed: "Everything I did in the Northwest was done for my own selfish reasons."
Zhang Yuan pricked up his ears immediately after hearing this, and only heard Xue Wei say:
"My eldest brother and I have always been at odds, and it's impossible for me to have children of my own."
Xue Wei's expression was filled with sadness. "I just hope that everything I've done will allow people in the future to remember Xue Wei."
Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart.
Xue Wei, such a talented young man, is actually impotent!
This makes sense as to why Xue Wei doesn't have any other beautiful women around him!
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it.
At the same time, I suddenly realized and couldn't help feeling sympathy.
He said how could there be a perfect person. It turned out that Lord Xue was lacking something fundamental, so he tried his best to prove himself and wanted to find a sense of accomplishment from other places.
Zhang Yuan has a virtuous wife, two sons and one daughter, and lives a happy family. After discovering Xue Wei's secret, he was shocked beyond words.
It's so tragic! It's so tragic!
On the other side, Doctor Chen was still saying comforting words, reminding Xue Wei to take care of his health while busy with official duties, and persuading Xue Wei to seek further treatment.
"fine."
Xue Wei looked as if he had let it go.
"Instead of taking these vague prescriptions until you vomit, it's better to save the money and buy a few more chickens for the children."
"The children of the people of Northwest China are my children, Xue Wei."
This sentence made Zhang Yuan stand in awe!
Xue Wei is still the incorruptible top scholar who said "Yes, let's start with Xue Wei" at the imperial examination ceremony two years ago!
Afterwards, Xue Wei explained to Doctor Chen some precautions regarding free medical consultations and plague prevention and control, all for the benefit of the people in the northwest. Then he quietly returned to the Xue Mansion and sat in the study to review official documents. His professionalism was beyond reproach.
Zhang Yuan wrote down all his experiences in the northwest in a secret letter and handed it over to the express delivery business of Yuelai Escort Agency.
Yuelai Escort Agency is extremely efficient in delivering documents, and this secret letter will reach the emperor before him.
Zhang Yuan was not afraid that the letter would be opened on the way. Firstly, it was not a military secret related to military situation. Secondly, the secret letter from their imperial envoy was sealed tightly and there was no way to restore it to its original appearance once it was opened.
The most important thing is that Yuelai Escort Agency has accumulated a good reputation and credibility in Dasheng in recent years.
The cooperation between the government document delivery and Yuelai Escort Agency has been going on for more than a year.
For such important letters from the court, the Yuelai Escort Agency had a contract stipulating that they must be delivered on time and confidentially. If such an important letter was lost, not only would they be held accountable, but they would also have to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver in compensation.
With the help of the Beijing team, the logistics network of Yuelai Escort Agency is almost complete.
Guan Yue is now just a hands-off boss. The bodyguards under her are trained batch by batch by Cheng Jiayu and the Xin family army, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
Yuelai Escort Agency is no longer just about escorting and delivering convoys. It has informants in various places. Guan Yue, who has some free time, has established an underground intelligence organization. The members of the organization are all trustworthy escorts who have been screened over the past three years.
Radio, which does not require the Internet, has become a quick tool for exchanging underground intelligence, and the telegraph, which has been eliminated by the modern Internet society, has become Guan Yue's golden finger!
If each team needs help finding something or recruiting people, just send a telegram directly, it's very fast!

Zhang Yuan had been monitoring Xue Wei for almost a month, and he was a little tired of such a boring life.
Zhang Yuan felt a surge of admiration in his heart. Xue Wei was truly devoted to his career.
When Zhang Yuan thought he could no longer find any flaws, he left Lingchuan and prepared to ride back to the capital to report.
There is someone in the capital that he can't let go of, and that is his master.
About a year ago, an old man selling tea appeared in the capital who was good at solving cases.
The old man is about 50 years old and is in good spirits. He often appears in the streets and alleys pushing a cart, selling bamboo tube herbal tea and telling stories.
Many unjust, false, and wrongful convictions in and around the capital were subsequently recounted by this old man through storytelling. Constables, acting on his stories, eventually apprehended the real culprits, with irrefutable evidence.
This old tea seller provided many key ideas for the Dali Temple to solve cases, but it also brought pressure and criticism to the Dali Temple.
Many officials in the Dali Temple particularly dislike this old man selling tea, believing that he is openly challenging the authority of their Dali Temple. Now the people in the capital area believe that this old man selling tea is more powerful than the Dali Temple, and regard the old man as a detective. Now no matter what case happens, the people believe what the old man says more than what the government officials say.
However, Zhang Yuan was impressed by the charm of the tea-selling old man when he first heard him tell stories, and he tried every means to become his disciple.
The reason why Zhang Yuan was able to sit on the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple at such a young age was because he solved two major cases under the guidance of his master.
Zhang Yuan was very worried that someone would make things difficult for his master while he was away from the capital.
An old man in his sixties has to make a living by selling herbal tea and telling stories from a cart every day. His life is really miserable.
But this old man selling tea had a very strong self-esteem. When Zhang Yuan gave him food and clothes, he refused to accept them and even stubbornly said that he looked down upon the things Zhang Yuan gave him.

The first night after Zhang Yuan left.
Xue Wei sat in the study in the mansion, staring at the documents in his hand in a daze.
Qiu Fang, the personal guard standing beside him, said: "Master Xue, hasn't the imperial envoy already left? You can relax a little and don't be so nervous anymore."
"These days, as soon as you get home, you throw yourself at your desk. You haven't had a chance to rest or relax."
Xue Wei seemed to be reviewing official documents, but in fact he was watching the latest TV series that Xiaopang shared in the group.
After hearing Qiu Fang's advice, he stood up and stretched.
With the emperor's personal eunuch Zhou Jushan tipping him off, Xue Wei was well aware that the emperor had sent many people to monitor and test him.
He even knew the identity of the imperial envoy sent to monitor him this time.
It feels so good to have an insider who can notify you at any time when you need to handle inspections.
"It's time to report to the Emperor once a month."
After Xue Wei finished stretching, he asked Qiu Fang to bring him paper and pen.
