The Minister of Revenue and the Director of the Yangjiyuan Court were staring at Yan Wanwan in a daze, with surprise and confusion on his face.
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness and confusion, and they didn’t know how to break the embarrassing silence.
After a long time, the Minister of Revenue recovered. He widened his eyes, looked disbelief, and took a step forward, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, “Mr. Yan, you said too much! In your eyes, can we still dare to falsely pass the imperial edict? This is a serious crime to kill the nine clans!”
His eyes locked Yan Wanwan tightly, as if he wanted to find a trace of trust in her face.
Yan Wanwan’s lips raised slightly, showing a faint sneer, nodding seriously, her eyes full of suspicion and disdain, “This is really unsure. In this world, what can’t be done for the sake of interests? As the Minister of Revenue, the resettlement of those refugees is your responsibility. It’s not my turn, a woman, to worry about the affairs of the court.”
She raised her head slightly, held her hands in front of her chest, as if she was not concerned about her own affairs.
“Mr. Yan, how could you think so!”
The Minister of Revenue’s brow frowned into the character “chuan”, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out, with a little begging in his tone, “This is indeed the oral order of the emperor. Even if we have the courage, we dare not deceive the emperor! Now Nanping Prefecture is short of manpower. If you accept these refugees, you will not only solve the problem of shortage of manpower, but also share the worries of the court. This is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone! I hope the county lord can put the overall situation first.”
He clasped his fists with his hands, bowed slightly, his eyes full of expectations.
When Yan Wanwan heard this, the sarcastic look on her face became even stronger. She gave a contemptuous look to the Minister of Revenue and snorted coldly, “Hmph! What you are talking about is light. In my opinion, those refugees are just a group of bandits. I will recruit people myself and find people who are loyal to me. As for them… I am afraid that they will be slaughtered by them after a little call. I don’t want to lead the wolf into the house and cause unnecessary trouble for myself.”
She put her hands on her hips, and her eyes showed a firm rejection.
The Minister of Revenue was so anxious that he had beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead. He paced back and forth, rubbing his hands constantly, “Mr. Yan, you can’t be so stubborn! This is the will of the Lord. If you disobey, it will be a great sin of disrespect! At that time, even you will not be able to bear the consequences.” There was a hint of threat in his voice, but it was mixed with helplessness.
Yan Wanwan was unmoved. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, “So what if I’m disrespectful? I only rely on my own will to do things so I won’t be bound by this so-called will. If you use the will of the Lord to suppress me, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Her tone was cold, as if the air around me had frozen, and a stream of air was surrounding the two of them, making people sweat profusely.back.
Seeing Yan Wanwan failing to get in, the Minister of Revenue suddenly had no choice. He was anxious and hurriedly gave a wink to the director of the Yangjiyuan Courtyard and signaled him to say a few words quickly. If he couldn’t finish this job, he would definitely not have any good results when he went back.
However, before the Yangjiyuan Courtyard Dong could speak, Yan Wanwan issued the order to expel guests directly, with a cold expression and a stiff tone, “If you have nothing else, please come back! The county magistrate is busy with affairs, but he is not interested in entertaining outsiders.”
The two of them were speechless for a moment, and they thought to themselves: It’s so unreasonable, no wonder the emperor regards her as a major concern.
Seeing that the two of them had no reaction and were still standing there unmoved, Yan Wanwan suddenly felt that it was a waste of time with them, so she stopped talking and directly ordered the subordinates in the mansion to “invite” the two of them out of the county lord’s mansion.
The Minister of Revenue and the Director of the Yangji Court were half-rejected and half-invited to leave the county lord’s mansion. The two stood outside the mansion, looking at the closed vermilion gate, full of unwillingness and helplessness.
The cold wind whistled, making their robes rustled, and the sorrow in their hearts became stronger.
