Chapter 260: One Thousand Two Silver Notes In the small courtyard at the back. At this time, Shen Yang, who was unaware of the situation, was still washing clothes diligently. The chief clerk rushed in and stood beside him, smiling like a grandson and saying, "Oh! Master Shen, I'm so sorry! I was blind and neglected you before, I hope you can forgive me!" "Master Zhubu, what's wrong with you?" Shen Yang asked with a strange smile. As smart as he was, he could guess that Gu Chan must have gone to the lobby in front to teach this bastard a lesson, otherwise why would he come and be so polite to him at this moment. Of course, he guessed it, but at this time he naturally pretended to be ignorant. The chief clerk laughed and said, "It's okay, don't work anymore. Come with me. I will arrange a good guest room for you. From now on, you will work in the front hall. Follow us and learn how to handle the affairs of the Ministry of War. I will definitely teach you well." "Master Zhubu, thank you so much to you and Master Shilang." Shen Yang stood up, clasped his fists and bowed politely. "It's my pleasure. You're welcome." The chief clerk said humbly. Then he immediately took Shen Yang out of the backyard and brought him to a quiet and elegant courtyard to live in. He also gave him several sets of good clothes and the student uniform of the Ministry of War.
After Shen Yang finished taking a shower and changed his clothes, he quickly sent someone to bring him good wine and food to entertain him. For a moment, Shen Yang felt a little confused. While he admired Gu Chan, he was also extremely grateful to her. It can be said that if Gu Chan had not come, he would have to endure this hard life for who knows how long. Now, he can officially enter the Ministry of War for further study. On the other side, on the street outside the Ministry of War. Just as Shen Yang was enjoying the delicious food and wine, Gu Chan had already led Wang Tianxiao and Ding Xiang to the Kyoto Patrol Office. Not bad! Wang Tianxiao's uncle, Wang Feilong, is the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Patrol Office and a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, responsible for managing the security and order in Kyoto. In a sense, Wang Feilong is certainly a very important official. And the most important thing is that this is an extremely lucrative job. Normally, all the shops, brothels, restaurants, etc. in Kyoto are under the jurisdiction of the Patrol Yamen. Anyone who wants to do business in Kyoto must get the approval of the Patrol Yamen, and naturally they have to bribe him. So there is no need to say how rich Wang Feilong is. Ren Yin followed the three of them for a while before asking, "Manager Gu, where are you going?" "Go to the patrol office to find Lord Wang Feilong." Gu Chan said, turning around. "What do you want to do with him?" Ren Yin asked. Gu Chan looked at Wang Tianxiao and said, "This is his nephew. His father, Wang Feihu, is his younger brother. Now Wang Feihu's family is gone, and only Wang Tianxiao is left. As his uncle, how can he ignore him?" "If he really wanted to be in charge, he wouldn't have let him do odd jobs in the Ministry of War for several months." Ren Yin shook his head. "We know this, so don't say so much. If you are willing to accompany us, then go. If you are not willing, then you can go back to Fulai Inn and wait for me." Gu Chan said cunningly. Ren Yin glared at her, fell silent and continued to follow the three people. Gu Chan ignored him and kept walking forward, as if she didn't see the person following her. Wang Tianxiao and Ding Xiang seemed a little nervous! The two men followed Gu Chan on both sides, and Wang Tianxiao whispered, "Manager Gu, is this man the adult from Tianji Pavilion?" "Nonsense, if he hadn't been watching me, I would have gone to play with you guys a long time ago." Gu Chan said unhappily.
Ding Xiang suddenly said, "Manager Gu, I don't understand, how did you get the token of Tianji Pavilion? Could it be that you are really a member of Tianji Pavilion?" "No! I met a dying spy from the Tianji Pavilion before, and he passed the token to me. Otherwise, how could I be targeted by the Tianji Pavilion and get into this trouble?" Gu Chan complained speechlessly. When Wang Tianxiao and Ding Xiang heard her say this, all their doubts disappeared instantly. Now they finally understood why Gu Chan was involved in this matter. After all this trouble, it’s all because she has this Heavenly Secret Order in her hand! Gu Chan waved at the two of them, "Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's think about how much money we can ask your uncle for when we get to the patrol office later!" "He is my uncle after all, so he will not get away with the 100,000 taels of silver! Besides, it's a good job, so he is not short of money!" Wang Tianxiao speculated to himself. Gu Chan and Ding Xiang didn't say anything. They both felt that the number Wang Tianxiao was thinking of was probably a bit far-fetched. But he hasn't been there yet, and the specific situation is not clear. What if Wang Feilong is a loyal person and really gives him 100,000 taels of silver? With this thought in mind, the three of them didn't say anything more, but continued on their way in silence. Half an hour later, Gu Chan and his four companions finally arrived at the majestic gate of the Patrol Yamen. The two guards at the gate stopped them directly. Wang Tianxiao stepped forward and said, "Two guard brothers, please let me know. My name is Wang Tianxiao, and I am your master's nephew. Now that I have left the Ministry of War, I have come here specifically to seek refuge with him." "Wait outside." said the guard standing on the left. After saying that, he turned and walked into the yamen. The four of them just stood at the door waiting, unable to even get in. After a while, just when the four people were getting impatient, the guard who had just entered came out again, threw a thousand taels of silver in front of Wang Tianxiao and said, "Our master said that his brother's family died on the border a long time ago, and now he has no nephews, so he told you not to make random relatives. This thousand taels is his reward for you, so you can go away now." "Damn! You just gave him one thousand taels and sent him away. You're sending away a beggar!" Gu Chan said angrily with a gloomy face. Then she immediately reached into her sleeve, ready to take out the Heavenly Secret Order, forcibly bring Wang Tianxiao into the mansion, and ask Wang Feilong for a reasonable explanation. But at this time, Wang Tianxiao's face turned livid. He suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Gu Chan, then tilted his head to look at him and shook his head slowly, saying with a painful expression, "No need, Manager Gu, thank you for coming with me." "..."Gu Chan. Depend on! Looking at Wang Tianxiao's painful expression at this moment, Gu Chan had no idea how to comfort him. Dingxiang stood aside, secretly wiping away tears out of heartache. Wang Tianxiao clasped his fists towards the guard and said, "Okay, big guard, please tell Lord Wang to thank him for his charity. I will accept this 1,000 taels of silver, and I will never bother him again from now on." "Take the money and get out of here! Don't embarrass yourself here." The guard waved his hand disdainfully and shouted coldly. Wang Tianxiao silently bent down, picked up the 1,000-liang silver note on the ground with trembling hands, held it tightly in his hand, then turned around and left dejectedly. Gu Chan and the other two followed him quietly, without saying a word. (End of this chapter)
