"And you..."
Nanzhi pointed out the mistakes of several officials in succession, and all the officials were trembling with fear.
The emperor was furious.
They sent people to search the house, and it turned out exactly as Nan Zhi had said.
He colluded with the enemy and betrayed his country, accepted bribes, and the amount of money involved is unimaginable.
Most of them were officials from the Censorate.
The emperor never imagined that the court had been so thoroughly infiltrated by the enemy.
Without Nanzhi, the foundation of the Great Central Empire would not last more than a century.
All the officials were in a state of fear, afraid that their own dirty deeds would be exposed.
Nanzhi proudly showed off to the cherry blossoms in her heart.
"How about it? Your master, I've slaughtered everyone in my path. Aren't I mighty and awe-inspiring?"
If Cherry hadn't told her all this, she really wouldn't have been able to catch so many traitors today.
Cherry's lips twitched. "Master, you should worry about yourself. Will you be assassinated in the coming days?"
Nanzhi could no longer smile.
Under the murderous gazes of the officials, Nam Chi sat down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I've offended quite a few officials by doing this. You must guarantee my safety."
"Otherwise, I will truly be unable to serve the Great Yang Dynasty in the future!" Nan Zhi cried, tears streaming down her face.
She cried so pitifully!
So on the way home, the emperor specially dispatched the Imperial Guards to guard the general's residence.
Those who were planning the assassination cursed inwardly.
What a treacherous agricultural official!
What's the point of killing them?
The emperor's guards have already been given the opportunity; if they were to make another move, wouldn't they be walking right into a trap?
General's Mansion, Pine Branch Courtyard.
Nanzhi lay on the tatami mat, letting Taozi massage her shoulders.
"Madam, you are truly amazing." There is probably only one person in the world who has received such an honor.
Nanzhi smiled, picked up a grape, and popped it into her mouth.
"Peach, today your wife will tell you what the way of being an official is. It is to cling to the emperor's thigh!"
As long as you cling to the emperor's coattails, what in this world can possibly stop you?
I used to live a very cautious and timid life, which was really frustrating.
"Bang." The door was kicked open.
Song Hanyan walked in from outside the door.
Seeing the general's fierce aura, Peach quickly retreated and closed the door.
Nan Zhi: ...You little rascal, abandoning your master in a moment of danger.
Nanzhi swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty and sat up.
"Husband, my husband, you're back, haha."
Even though I haven't done anything, I still feel a sense of emptiness in my heart.
Song Hanyan stepped forward and embraced Nanzhi.
Nanzhi's whole body stiffened.
"In the future, if you encounter something like this, remember to tell me."
Song Hanyan felt very sorry for her. If only she could stay under his protection.
But he knew that his wife was ambitious and cared about the world.
She definitely wouldn't be happy if you left her at home.
When you love someone, you'll feel heartache even if they suffer the slightest injustice.
Nan Zhi smiled and put her arm around Song Hanyan.
She said softly, "My abilities are exceptional; my husband need not worry about such a small matter."
“But,” Nanzhi paused, “if anything happens in the future, I’ll tell you first.”
Song Hanyan laughed out loud, his voice low and hoarse.
Nanzhi's ears turned red upon hearing this.
"In that case, shouldn't Madam pay the grain tax?"
grain tax?
What public grain?
The next moment, Nanzhi found out.
Some seemingly innocent words actually appear anything but pure.
Cherry, who was locked in a dark room, started playing cards with the two wolves out of boredom.
The next day, Nanzhi took another day off.
The emperor searched among his officials, but could not find a familiar face.
Eunuch Cao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this morning General Song asked for leave on behalf of Lord Nan, saying that he was unwell."
The emperor gave a light scoff.
He's not claiming to be unwell; he's clearly just being lazy.
With so many officials in charge, they all need to be filled.
Therefore, the emperor issued an edict to bring forward this year's imperial examination.
Furthermore, this year's scientific expedition was led by Nanjing University personnel.
The entire court was in uproar. Some were dissatisfied, but they could only keep it to themselves and dared not utter a word.
They don't want to be used as a cautionary tale.
But even if they don't cause trouble, people all over the world will.
Upon hearing this news, Nanzhi jumped out of bed with a gurgle.
Damn it, the emperor is taking revenge.
Female officials were already a precedent, and now the emperor is making her stand before all the students in the country.
What's the difference between this and a live target?
Taozi was delighted, "Madam has only been in Shengjing for a short time, yet she is able to preside over such a grand event."
The peach's adoration for the southern branch is beyond words.
Looking around Shengjing, which lady is as capable as theirs?
He was not only a high-ranking official of the second rank in the imperial court, but also presided over the imperial examinations this year.
Most importantly, it will also make money.
Song Hanyan also rushed back immediately.
"Madam, I will plead with His Majesty to rescind his decree."
Nanzhi shook her head.
Although the emperor allowed her to go, this was also an opportunity.
Students across the country are the future of our nation.
If they accept this, then there will be more female officials in the court in the future.
She looked at Song Hanyan solemnly, "This time, I must go."
She suddenly remembered something.
"How about the gold mine?"
Song Hanyan: "The Emperor has already ordered people to mine it, but thanks to your contributions, the Emperor has decided to give you a share of the harvest."
Nanzhi is happy.
Looking at it this way, the emperor doesn't seem so bad after all.
Seven days later, Nanzhi stared in astonishment at the fist-sized gold nugget in her hand.
"Is this what you meant by giving me a share?" Nan Zhi stared at Song Hanyan.
