MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 32 Lost (Happy New Year)
Chapter 32 Failed (Happy New Year)
“Where are the supplies?”
The head of the government office was a little angry, so his men moved the boxes down and put them all together to barely fill one box.
You know, there are six or seven boxes, and each of these boxes can hold more than ten kilograms of supplies.
However, now six or seven boxes can only make up one box, how can he not be angry.
He glared at Chen Xue and others with a fierce look on his face, "Where did the supplies go? Tell me, did you hide them?"
"If you don't believe it, you can ask the people around you. They can all see that these boxes were not taken down after they were loaded onto the carriage."
After hearing what Chen Xue said, the head of the government office decisively asked his men to question the prisoners around him.
As long as you are not blind, you can see whether the Chen family has hidden the supplies. After all, the boxes of supplies were moved up in front of many people. How could the prisoners around them not pay attention.
The fact is indeed what Chen Xue said. The prisoners around saw the materials being moved onto the carriage, but they did not move them down.
“Go and look at that carriage!”
The head of the government office refused to give up and asked his men to go to the carriage where Chen Xue was sitting.
Chen Xue didn't care even more, and the carriage had no supplies.
“Brother Qian, there’s nothing!”
Sure enough, after a while, the yamen servant came back disappointed.
"Master, we were really tricked by Yi Cheng." Chen Xue said aggrievedly again, "We finally collected a little bit of money, and Yi Cheng also promised to give us supplies. Who knew that when we opened the box, we would only have So much..."
Beside, Xiaodie appeared out of nowhere, obeyed Chen Xue's instructions, and started crying in grievance.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, our life is so miserable. The master was framed, the girl was exiled, we finally collected the money to buy supplies, and we were tricked by the Yi Cheng..."
Xiaodie said, tears streaming down her face, she looked very pitiful, those sad words made those who heard them cry, and felt sad.
Chen Xue's mouth twitched. If she hadn't known that Xiaodie was acting, she would have almost believed it.
This little girl is really talented. She sheds tears at the drop of a hat. She is much better than herself. The most she can do is put some water on her face to act as tears. Xiaodie is really crying.
Seeing the little maid cry so sadly, everyone felt sympathy in their hearts. To put it this way, it was really a bit pitiful.
After all, everyone knows that Mr. Chen’s family is in dire straits and he is penniless.
Finally got some money together, but was tricked by the postmaster.
If it were me, I would definitely go crazy.
The head of the government office frowned and believed most of it. After all, it was impossible for the supplies to disappear out of thin air, so there was only one possibility. When they were brought up, there were only so few supplies.
In other words, there is a high possibility that the Chen family was deceived by Yi Cheng.
After all, crows are as black as crows in the world. As a government servant, he is very aware of the evil and greed of low-level officials.
It is normal for Yi Cheng to take money but not do anything.
But, how can we deliver this amount of supplies?
The head of the government office was a little irritable.
“Move this box away!”
Finally, the head of the government office decided to move the box away first.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…Sir, we only have these supplies.” Seeing this, Chen Xue said aggrievedly.
“The official also knows that our Chen family is very poor. We managed to scrape together some money to exchange for these supplies. If the officials take them all away, we will all starve to death..."
"Yes, yes." Xiaodie agreed, her little face full of grievance, "Our girls are all hungry and thin, so in order to make our girls full, we went to the Yicheng to buy supplies..."
Cough cough cough!
Performed it!
Chen Xue coughed, how could this girl Xiaodie be better at acting than she was? He didn't tell her to say these words. She was self-taught. Could it be that she had a talent for drama?
The head of the government office looked very ugly. If we don't take away this little material, today's work will be in vain. But the key is that it is too little. He doesn't even care about this little material. But how can we pay for it if we take it back?
Chen Xue saw the expression on the head of the government office and knew that it was impossible to use sympathy to get him to keep the supplies, so she had no choice but to speak.
“My lord, you must not like this little material, and I have a business. Do you want us to cooperate?”
"Business?"
The head of the government office frowned. The Chen family had been confiscated and exiled. Although he didn't care what kind of business there was, he was still a little curious.
After all, there is no way to take back these supplies for business now. If the Chen family says the business is good, they can take it back for business.
Chen Xue did not speak directly, but looked embarrassed, "It's just that this business is not easy to operate. After all, Captain Sun's side may not be good..."
“Captain Sun, don’t worry. If this business is good, the captain will support it.” The head of the government office said without hesitation.
Chen Xue's eyes flickered, and sure enough, the person behind him was Captain Sun, the captain of the government office who exiled the captain.
I used to think that his attitude towards my family was to ignore him, and he would not help, let alone take action against my family.
But this time, it seems that Captain Sun's attitude towards his family has changed, otherwise he would not have let his men **** supplies.
This is bad news.
After all, even though they have the support of two yamen servants, Zhao Guang and Xu Tian, above them, there is also a yamen captain.
This captain is in charge of all the yamen servants and the prisoners who exiled the captain. He has great power. Although Xu Tian has someone behind his back, he can only verbally threaten the yamen captain, but he can't actually do much.
Being able to become the captain of a government office cannot be achieved without the support of others.
Moreover, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the people behind Xu Tian can't interfere in the affairs here. Therefore, whether it is Xu Tian or Zhao Guang, they must act based on the face of the captain of the Yamen.
So, if the Chen family wants to survive this stage safely with the exiled captain, they must find a way to win over the yamen captain.
But in fact, they have already tried.
The yamen captain showed no reaction at all and seemed not to think favorably of the Chen family. However, what made them relieved was that the yamen captain did not favor Guo Qiang. After all, they knew that he did not help Zhao Guang.
But it’s different now. Now the captain of the government office obviously changed his attitude for some reason and actually let his men rob them of their supplies.
Either he disliked the Chen family, or Guo Qiang paid a heavy price to win over him, so his attitude changed.
Let’s get back to business.
Chen Xue was relieved when she found out that behind the yamen chief was the yamen captain. As long as the yamen captain was taken care of, the future would be promising.
"This matter is of great importance... By the way, I wonder what I call the official?"
“Qian Zhan!”
“It turns out to be Mr. Qian…”
"Your Excellency, you can't do this. Just call me Mr. Qian. Tell me what your business is. If you can't satisfy me, you know the consequences."
As he said that, the Yamen Qian snorted coldly, with a fierce look on his face, as if Chen Xue was not satisfied with his answer, and he would take action.
“I wonder if Mr. Qian can find Captain Sun. After all, this business is too big and requires Captain Sun’s strength..."
"No need." Yamen Qian interrupted Chen Xue, "Tell me what the business is first, I'll talk to the captain."
He is not that stupid. If the Chen family said that the business is not interesting, then when the captain blames it, he will not be able to withstand it. At least he must know the value of the business.
"Hurry up, I don't have time to talk to you." Yamen Qian said angrily, "If you dare to play tricks on me, I will prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow."
