Chapter 243 Tribulation Of Fortune To Me

After returning from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Han locked himself in his room for two whole days.

He had never come out of the door, nor had he seen anyone. Even the dishes were personally delivered by Ye Hongjian or Qin Keqing.

Nobody knows what he's doing.

Two days is neither long nor short.

But it's enough for a lot of things to happen.

For example, how to distribute the relief rations among the states and counties this winter.

Since the beginning of winter, the snow in Chang'an City fell intermittently. The weather was gloomy, causing people to feel somewhat annoyed.

The snow piled up in the Tian Ce Mansion had laid a thick layer on the ground, and some of the manor soldiers were taking care of it. In order to save money, the Tian Ce Prefecture did not invite any servants. All the chores were handled by their own families, which was a bit shabby. However, in the current situation, it was still possible to save money and money.

"How's it going?" At this moment, the gate of the Tian Ce Mansion was pushed open. Ye Hongjian, dressed in red, stepped into the manor on the snow. On the stage, she saw Fang Ziyu, who was competing with a Tian Ce Mansion army in sword techniques, hurriedly greeting him and asked anxiously.

Ye Hongjian frowned and shook her head.

"Two hundred thousand silver coins, only ten percent in Jizhou." She said in a deep voice.

The expressions of the surrounding people froze when they heard this.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver was indeed not a small amount, but it was nothing in the Great Zhou. And ten percent of it was even a drop in the bucket for Jizhou. This was not to mention that at least seventy to eighty percent of it would be eaten by various officials in the process of allocating it layer by layer.

In the end, it would not exceed 5,000 silver coins in Jizhou's hands. What could 5,000 silver coins do? Not to mention the land of a state, even a small city might not be able to survive the winter with this little silver.

Hearing this, Fang Ziyu's face sank, and his beautiful face was filled with sadness.

"These two days, Mr. Lu and someone surnamed Zhou sent another message, It was said that Jizhou had been snowed down, and there had been a civil uprising in several places because of the lack of food. The soldiers sent by Big Yellow City to appease the people were unable to move at all, so the reconstruction of Big Yellow City could only be temporarily put on hold, and it seemed that the Xia Dynasty had begun to mobilize personnel outside the Sword Dragon Pass… "Fang Ziyu frowned and said, obviously worried about this matter.

Hearing this, Ye Hongjian sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Could it be that the people of the Imperial Court are all idiots? I wonder if once Jizhou is broken, Liangzhou will be exposed to the cavalry of the Xia Dynasty." Fang Ziyu said with a puzzled expression. She really did not understand why the great figures in the court did not understand the reason why she had seen through it thoroughly.

"It's not that I can't see through it, I just don't want to see it." Ye Hongjian was a person who had lived in Chang'an since childhood, and her words had exposed the root of this phenomenon. "But Zhu Xian is not stupid. Why did the Imperial Court only set aside so little money? I heard from my father that most of the rest went into Zhu Xian's pocket. I guess he is currently rebuilding the Azure Dragon Army."

'"What about Xu? Why haven't we seen him for so many days? Something big has happened…" Fang Ziyu's temper had always been careless, and he couldn't help but mutter after hearing this.

'"Young Master Xu was busy collecting money a few days ago. I guess he's resting these few days. Let's not disturb him anymore" Qin Keqing, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke at that time. However, for some reason, she was a little weak in front of Ye Hongjian and her voice was a little low.

Ye Hongjian also took a deep look at Qin Keqing at that time. Originally, she wanted to say something, but in the end, she only sighed.

"Xu Han has his own way of doing things. We don't need to worry."

After saying that, the three women looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

The current situation of the Tian Ce Mansion was extremely worrying. Mr. Lu was not here, and Xu Han did not know what they were doing these past few days. They were so busy that they were unable to achieve any results. This feeling really made them very depressed.

"By the way, I went this time to thank my father for saying something." Seeing the dull atmosphere, Ye Hongjian hurriedly changed the topic.

Hearing this, Fang Ziyu raised his head and asked, looking at Ye Hongjian doubtfully.

"Zhu Xian has already sent an invitation to Linglong Pavilion. I heard that Sikong Bai is already on his way here."

"What?" Fang Ziyu's expression instantly changed. After all, Ning Zhumang and Zhong Changhen had died at Sikong Bai's hands. Fang Ziyu hated the immortal to the bone. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel emotional turbulence in his chest.

'"Senior Sister Fang, don't act rashly. This matter …" Qin Keqing was worried when she saw this. She hurriedly whispered.

"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot. I'm not in a hurry to die." Fang Ziyu smiled and said this, but the smile on his face was filled with bitterness and helplessness.

"Miao!"

Just as the three women were saying this, a black figure suddenly jumped out from somewhere. It was Xuan'er, who had been accompanying Xu Han in the room for a few days.

The black cat landed beside the three of them, tilting its head to look at them as if no one else was watching, as if it was wondering what they were talking about.

At this moment, the three of them naturally saw Xuan'er. They were stunned for a moment, and then as if they had realized something, they all raised their heads to look at a certain place in Tiance Prefecture. There, the youth wearing a blue sweater and white cloth tied to his right arm slowly walked over from that place as they had expected.

He was still like that, tall and slender, and his clothes were neat and tidy. However, his face was somewhat sloppy, probably because he had been locked up in his room for the past few days and hadn't gone out. However, his eyes shone brightly, burning and threatening.

"The surname is Xu."

"Young Master Xu!"

"Xu Han!"

Three different names came from the mouths of the three girls. Obviously, they couldn't conceal their joy at Xu Han's appearance. At least, Xu Han couldn't find a direction after they didn't have to be like headless flies.

"Thank you for your hard work." At this moment, Xu Han walked up to them and nodded with a smile. Although he hadn't gone out for a few days, he probably knew what had happened outside, so he naturally understood how hard the three girls had worked these past few days.

After saying that, he looked around at the Tian Ce Mansion Army that was busy with their own affairs.

"Where is the Heavenly Policy Army!" His eyebrows sank as he shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the remaining hundred plus Tiance Prefecture soldiers immediately put down their clerks and walked over to Xu Han with a solemn expression as they lined up in a square formation.

"This subordinate is here." Afterwards, the men who were still cleaning the snow let out a loud roar, and the aura around them suddenly became solemn at that moment.

"Come with me." Seeing this, Xu Han nodded his head in satisfaction. He was about to leave. The Tiance Prefecture army did not ask where they were going or what they were doing. They only followed Xu Han with orders and prohibitions. Hundreds of people walked in unison, as if they were a whole.

Only when Xu Han led everyone to the door did Fang Ziyu and the others regain their senses and asked subconsciously.

"What are you doing?"

At that time, Xu Han turned around and smiled faintly, revealing the row of snow-white teeth beneath his lips.

Then, he said softly.

"Tribulation rich aid me."
