C750 Modern Report

This was truly a drastic change of events. Repaying their grievances with unhappiness, using the words that the old ladies of Beijing liked to curse the most, it was called repayment in the modern world.

The westerner might not even understand the saying 'retribution', because the word 'retribution' was completely derived from Buddhist culture. If you did good deeds, you would have a good reward, and if you did bad deeds, you would have a bad retribution, but sometimes, there was always a chance. Some say that it was the next life, while others were willing to do it for ten lifetimes.

Amongst all retribution, retribution in the Modern World was the most detestable. To be retributed for all one's sins in one's lifetime was indeed very, very satisfying. For example, the crazy officials at the Ministry of Revenue's yamen.

The capital's officials were bitter, especially when the officials of the Qing Shui yamen did not have much gray income. Originally, they did not have much salary, and since they had to go to war with the imperial government for so many years, they could not immediately give out their salaries.

Previously, when they heard that the Ministry of Revenue needed to make up for the money, everyone rushed over excitedly. However, the reality was too cruel.

Of course, their emotions were understandable. These poor bastards didn't have a famine of one hundred and eighty silver taels behind them, and their wives didn't nag about in their families or their children who were waiting for their food. So, it was understandable for them to be a little impatient and collapse.

Their actions were unforgivable. Attacking the yamen of the Ministry of Revenue, insulting and beating up Shangguan, and even tearing down the salary given to them by the imperial court must be severely punished.

However, the Prince of Alcohol still had Minister of Revenue, Minister Lin Shu who had sobered up. Looking at the bunch of poor officials crying tears away, he couldn't say anything about arresting them.

Isn't that the military head, Xiaojiang, squatting in the corner of the room? The prescription given by the Taiyuan Hospital was simply too expensive. I heard that he rarely ate meat even once a month, and was the first person to leave the department to attend gatherings. He didn't even have the money to buy ingredients.

Today, he squatted at the corner and desperately used both his hands to draw scraps of paper on the ground. Tears flowed down his face and he wanted to spell out a few pieces of paper, but he didn't expect that all of his claims would have numbers on them.

The one who was sitting on the ground and cursing the street, wasn't that the Ninth Master with the yellow flag? He was also a good rider on a poor horse, but it was a pity that he followed Merlin to attack the Tanggu. He threw his thumbs back to the battlefield, and in the end, he became the famous Lai Jiu of the capital's rogue world.

But Prince alcohol knew that Nine Lai had a sixteen year old sister waiting to be married off. His father was a rotten drunkard, and his mother was a shrew who loved to curse when she was young, so the burden of taking care of her sister's dowry rested entirely on him.

"You have no conscience!" There's no logic in this! Why didn't you post a notice all over town before you sent the money? You are... You all did not teach me! " Who would have thought that Lai Jiu would actually think of such a refined phrase? It immediately caused the emotions of the officials present to resonate.

"That's right. This is killing without teaching us. Is the imperial government setting a trap for us?" "We can't accept this. We have to go to the Great Qing Sect and seize the throne. We have to find the empress dowager and reason with her …"

"Pity my one hundred taels of silver, you cheated me into tearing it apart …" It's all because of you guys, you guys are doing this on purpose! "

The official from the Ministry of Revenue became anxious and jumped onto a stool to curse, "Bullshit!" What did we say when you came? "I told you all to return to the yamen and wait there. When the time comes, we should take care of the salary and hand it over to them. Later, there will definitely be an imperial decree for the lord minister …"

"But who would have thought that all of you would have been stuck in front of our hukou. There are thousands of officials in the capital who need their salaries. How do you expect us to notify all of them? I advise you all to go back and wait. You guys can't wait any longer.

"You guys are spouting nonsense. Even if you can't notify everyone, you should at least give a notice, right?" "There aren't even any notices. You're just setting people up to kill them, not teaching them a lesson and killing them …"

"Bullshit!" You don't even listen to our Lord Lin's words, the Head Office even personally came over to explain and you beat us up, what's the use of me posting you with a notice? "No one will believe it even if it is placed on the Emperor Board …"

Both sides immediately started to fight. If not for minister of nine city gates, they would have started to fight.

Just as they were at a loss of what to do, the sound of women wailing could be heard from the street. It turned out that even the families of the officials who were causing trouble had heard the news and rushed over.

These women had long heard the story from the people who had reported them. When they heard that their man who had killed thousands of men had ripped apart their salary, they felt that it was several dozens of taels of silver!

At this point, one could see how powerful the Manchuria's aunts were. Most of the Chinese Officer's family members came from the four virtues, and only extremely violent or extremely old women would come out and make trouble for them.

As for the wives of the Eight Banners, they were cold and fearless. When they saw the torn bonds on the ground and that their neighbors were right, they became furious and charged into the crowd to scratch their men's faces.

"Scoundrel who killed a thousand times, have you drank too much yellow soup?" "You came to the hukou and even ripped the money off, I'll let you tear it off, I'll tear off your face …"

"Wuwuwu …" How are we going to live this life! "Those who follow behind me and collect debts every day finally get a salary and get ripped off by that good-for-nothing trash. I'll die then …"

"Sir, sir! Other people would always be enjoying themselves when they're in office, but you always have to cook soybeans in salt water! Even if I fart, the dregs of beans will pop out of my mouth!" "I'm not going to be with you anymore, I'm going back to my parents' home …"

The scene instantly turned into a mess. There were people rolling all over the place, grabbing the man, scratching his face, and even crying for him to return to his parents' home.

The group of officials had completely stopped fighting. Each and every one of them obediently tried to avoid the attack of their wives. Even the usually noblest of officials could not stand up straight. After all, they were in the wrong.

Minister of Revenue, Minister of Revenue Lin Shu, was still considered a loyal elder. Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt like he was a fox who had died a rabbit's death.

"My lord, why don't we discuss it with the Letian Bank and ask the bank to return this debt. It's just a pile of paper anyway and there's not much of a cost!"

Yi Xuan shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult! Didn't you notice that the Manager Ding, who was in charge of this whole affair, had actually been drinking oily tea outside the yamen of the Ministry of Revenue all this time? No matter how serious the commotion became, he didn't seem to have the intention to open his mouth … It's not the same thing as us! "
