My Ferocious Tigress Wife-Chapter 964: -Dead Man Can’t Speak Testimony

Chapter 964 -964-Dead Man Can’t Speak Testimony

The two men of sacrifice kowtowed to the ground.

In the past three months, they had finally returned to Jiankang City. They had already disguised themselves in the most ordinary clothes, and no one knew what they had experienced.

In fact, no matter what they had experienced, if they could come back alive, they would have unlimited possibilities in the future.

The companions who went with them were not so lucky. Most of them died in North Wu.

Xie Xian quickly helped the two of them up. Why don’t you wash up first and talk to me in detail after lunch? I have other plans for your future. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have no plans.”

How could he not hear this?

It was obvious that there was something they could use them for.

Now, not to mention in the city, many people in Daliang wanted to follow Xie Xian. The two of them looked at each other and kowtowed again.

Whatever plans they had, they had to step aside. What arrangement could be better than Lord Lang’s?

He even let them eat first–

He was simply too considerate.

Bushuo didn’t think so. The moment Xie Xian opened his mouth, the two of them immediately became hungry. Their stomachs grumbled. At this time, any politeness would be useless. They followed Xie Xian’s arrangements.

These two had been the Xie Clan’s troops since young, and were later chosen to stay by their master’s side as death warriors.

Without any formal education, he had been practicing martial arts and guarding since he was young.

What Xie Xian had arranged for them this time was also related to martial arts. He had directly arranged for them to work for Sikong Xiao in Xu Prefecture, as a guerrilla general. Although it was only an official rank eight position, it was beyond their expectations to be able to get rid of slavery, get eight thousand taels of silver, and become an official.

The two of them were ecstatic.

No matter what arrangements they had, they would not be as good as Lord Xie’s arrangements.

This was a ladder that led straight to the top. As for how far they could go after that, it would depend on their own ability. If he really had the ability, he wouldn’t have to worry about not being successful.

Xie Xian didn’t even need to confirm with them if they had missed their previous arrangements. The two of them knocked their heads on the ground and hurriedly thanked him.

After meeting Xie Xian, she was brought to Mother Xie.

Mother Xie rewarded them with another three thousand taels of silver. Immediately after, Xie Xian didn’t even wait for the night to pass before he ordered Butler Qi to bring the two of them and the two families behind them to the government to remove their slavery status.

When the group of people came out of the government office with their household registration books, they were all stunned.

Firstly, he didn’t expect to get rid of his slave status so easily. Secondly…Where did the whole family live? They were no longer servants of the Xie family, so it was not appropriate for them to return to the Xie family to live. It was too urgent to use the cash to buy a house.

Fortunately, Xie Xian had already instructed them, so Butler Qi brought them back to the Xie family and let them stay there for the time being.

Xie Xian still had to work in the Ministry of Personnel Affairs, so he would probably inform them in a few days when he would leave for Xuzhou. As for whether they wanted to go north or leave their families in Jiankang, it was up to them.

Xu Prefecture was an important military location, so they naturally knew about it. Two years ago, Northern Wu had even led its army south and killed a few people, losing a few cities. No one could guarantee when Northern Wu would attack again. They had thought it through. They were going to risk their lives to fight for their future, but there was no need to drag their entire family along.

It was the people who suffered in war. They could even retreat to other cities in the army, but if they dragged their entire family over, they might not be able to retreat when they really wanted to.

The two of them discussed for a while and decided to leave their families in Jiankang.

No matter what, they had to settle in peace first. In any case, they had the Xie family’s silver reward. Even if they could not fight for any future, just that silver was enough for their families to live a carefree life.

The two of them killed people together, and both of them felt emotional. Only they knew how the two of them supported each other to return to Jiankang and have today’s glory.

The two families simply found a young man and a young lady of the right age to settle the marriage. However, the most suitable age was nine years old and eleven years old. They were quite close. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to be in-laws.

The next day, they asked Butler Qi to introduce them to the old man. Then, the two of them began to look for a house in the city.

Although Emperor Yong Ping had previously said that he wanted to assassinate Yin Qing and that the reward of five thousand taels of silver was a private matter, a ruler was not joking. After a person died, he could not deny it.

Xie Xian did not lack that sum of money, but these two people had made such a meritorious service, and even more than a dozen people had died in North Wu. He could not pretend that this had not happened. Other than the death warriors who had not returned, he had given their families compensation money. As for the two people who were still alive, he had to arrange their positions openly.

It was a very simple matter, but he did not expect that the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Xu Erlang, would be stuck.

The other party spoke eloquently, and the dead could not testify.

Xie Xian called the current chief eunuch of the palace, Duo Fu, to testify. Xu Erlang also said that they could not be exposed after all, so it was impossible to correct their names.

Moreover, the national treasury was empty.

Although the new Emperor had ascended the throne and Xie Xian had slaughtered King Jiang Xia and confiscated his family property into the national treasury, Xie Xian was an expert at harvesting leeks and was even more adept at scattering silver. Just borrowing the common people’s silver to revive production had already used up a lot, not to mention the various expenses of the Imperial Court. The salaries of the officials in office had also been repeatedly reduced.

He wasn’t the head of the Ministry of Revenue, and he couldn’t control whether they were given money or not, but he couldn’t give them official positions because of this.

At least, it didn’t make sense to him.

Duo Fu was the Head Chief in the Palace. Empress Dowager Xiao knew that he was Xie Xian’s man, but she still had to give him some face. It could be said that he now had a head and a face. It was rare for him to experience the feeling of trembling.

Again.

“My Xie Clan doesn’t lack silver. The imperial treasury isn’t rich, so I know in my heart that I won’t ask the Imperial Court to fork out this amount of silver. I, Xie Xian, was indebted to the late emperor. As the saying goes, words of gold. I don’t want the late emperor to bear the reputation of breaking his promise because of what the people behind him did.”

“As for official positions, the world is peaceful now, and it’s time to use people. The fact that these two people can enter North Wu to assassinate a Rank One official shows their ability.”

“It is precisely because these things they have done cannot be seen in the light that it is inconvenient for them to make it public. As a stepping stone for them to enter the official career, they are appointed as small eighth grade officials. Otherwise, in my opinion, they are talented people who are worthy of heavy responsibilities. How can they be brought out by a small Eighth Grade?”

Minister Xu had just turned 30 years old and liked to grow a long beard. He usually tidied up his hair beautifully and neatly, and was even more passionate about hair than women.

He stroked his beard.” Since the Grand Tutor also said that they can’t see the light, aren’t we all thinking the same?””

“We haven’t gathered together for a long time. It’s better to meet now than now.”

It was obvious that he didn’t want to talk anymore.

Dover: I want to go.

He didn’t want to see his uncle’s witty remarks anymore. He was afraid that he would be too agitated if he spat out fragrant words. He knew that these scholars didn’t use vulgarities when they scolded others. If they really fell out with each other, he wouldn’t be able to understand them when they fought. It would make him seem uncultured.
