Chapter 32 Descendant of an Old Friend
County office. The department.
Manager Sun and Zhou Yi were talking about buying and selling prisoners in front of the scholars. Clearly, this was an open secret in Barren City.
They depended on whatever there was to eat.
The government office in Barren City relied on selling criminals for a living.
1,200 taels of silver would be used to fake the death of the exiled prisoners at the mine. They would change their surnames and enter Barren City. After a few years, they would be able to use some connections to move to another state capital and completely become a good citizen.
“Mr. Zhou, don’t think it’s expensive. This silver didn’t fall on us.” Manager Sun pointed upward. “Master has been a scholar for twelve years. Do you understand?”
“So you’re Prime Minister Zhang’s student!” Zhou Yi looked respectful and said in a low voice, “That year’s Palace Examination was not too peaceful. Everyone was looking at the rankings. Prime Minister Zhang took the opportunity to…” As he spoke, he made a grabbing gesture. His gaze swept across the people in the county government office and said, “Do you know why?”
Manager Sun cupped his hands and said, “Please enlighten me, sir!”
The scholars in the household pricked up their ears and noted down the secrets of the country. When they returned to drink with their colleagues, it would be the top topic of discussion. It was as enjoyable as discussing international politics at a barbecue stall.
“That year, the Duke won a great victory in the northern border and took the opportunity to attack Great Yong. His reputation was flourishing!”
Zhou Yi said slowly, “At that time, the Minister of War was a general in the army. He had once worked with the Duke to destroy the traitors in Jiangnan. The two of them, one inside and one outside, were invincible in the imperial court.”
“Prime Minister Zhang took this opportunity to take it down, break the customs of the country, and become the Minister of War as a civil official…”
“Hiss!”
Manager Sun no longer suspected that Mr. Zhou must be from the Divine Capital. He said respectfully, “Sir, please take a seat. I’ll go and urge those lazy fellows to do their work!”
“Please, Manager.”
Zhou Yi’s actions were polite. He was elegant and imposing, but not superior to others. He made people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.
