As soon as Jiang Chen left the small courtyard, his cousin Liu Zongyuan ran to the back garden quickly and shouted to Liu Mingjie in the pavilion from a distance:

"On Ming Festival, Mr. Yang Tiju is here. You should quickly dress up and then go to the front hall to serve him tea so that Mr. Yang can see your appearance."

"Ah? Mr. Yang Tiju is here? I...I'll pack up and go over."

Liu Mingjie's face was full of excitement. He lifted up his skirt and rushed towards the show building on the west side of the garden.

My aunt and Liu Minghui quickly followed.

When Liu Yueniang saw this, she called out to Liu Mingjie and said:

"Cousin, go to my room! I have fine rouge and gouache bought by officials, and a set of gorgeous clothes that you have never worn. It would be more respectable for you to wear it to see Yang Tiju."

"Okay! Thank you very much, cousin."

Liu Mingjie quickly changed direction and ran away with his aunt and Liu Minghui.

…

While Liu Mingjie was preparing in a hurry, Yang Jian was leisurely drinking tea in the front hall.

Although he sold Jiang Chen without hesitation because of the exchange of interests with Cai Jing regarding the promotion of Longde Palace, he did not feel any guilt at all.

Instead, he wanted to use this matter to suppress Jiang Chen, so that Jiang Chen would be obedient in the future and stop making suggestions (to plead for Jia Xiang). If Jiang Chen dared to harbor resentment and dissatisfaction, then he would not mind using some harsh means.

.

But what Yang Jian never expected was:

After Jiang Chen entered the front hall, not only did he not show any dissatisfaction, but he also had a friendly smile on his face, and he saluted respectfully: "I pay my respects to Yang Tiju! May Mr. Tiju enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as heaven!

"

Um?

Yang Jian was surprised, then raised his hand with a look of relief and said:

"Good ministers don't need to be polite! When the officials were having a banquet in the back garden just now, I heard that Jia Chengzhi said that you brewed a kind of immortal drunk that is better than Jinbo Yuye, so I asked the official to come over and inquire.

Is this true or false? If there is such a fine wine, why not donate it early? Is it possible that a good minister wants to hide his secrets? "

Um?

Is this a question of guilt?

You just sold me and you turn around and ask me for something? Do you still have to be so confident?

Do you still want to face that stupid guy?

Jiang Chen secretly felt unhappy, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There are indeed records of immortal drunkenness in the Annals of the Ancient World, but how can such immortal wine be easily brewed? A low-ranking official can only do his best to obey fate!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen sighed depressedly and said: "Alas! Prime Minister Cai not only asked Mr. Zhu to take away my treasury silver, but also ordered the Liang Ling Department to sell Jinbo Yuye, which caused the official to break his trust and was almost killed by those who wanted to retire.

The adults of the members were beaten to death.

What the official said was just an expedient measure to protect himself! I didn’t expect the official to actually believe it!"

"What did you say?"

When Yang Jian heard this, his whole old face turned dark.

In order to gain some credit for recommending Jiang Chen, he had just praised Jiang Chen in front of the officials, but he didn't expect to get such a result.

He couldn't help but asked Jiang Chen with an annoyed look on his face: "So, you can't tell me that the immortal is drunk now? How do you ask me to return to the palace for business?"

"well!"

Jiang Chen sighed sadly and said apologetically to Yang Jian:

"Xiaoguan has now figured it out. If this official continues to work, he will be forced to death by Cai Xiang and the Wang family sooner or later. In order not to continue to drag you down, it is better for Xiaguan to retire to the mountains and forests as soon as possible.

Let’s go! I will go to the palace with Mr. Yang to plead guilty, retire and return to my hometown!”

Well--

"Are you going to retire and return home again?"

Yang Jian was stunned and his face was full of depression.

I thought to myself: I still expect you to compile the Annals of the Ancient World to rectify the name of this divine king. Before the book is written, you will retire and return to your hometown? Then who do you want me to find?

"No! Absolutely not!"

Yang Jian firmly shook his head in denial, put on a smiling face and comforted Jiang Chen:

"Good minister, please don't act out of anger!

Now that the Annals of Prehistoric Times that you promised the officials to compile has not yet been completed, how can you give up halfway?

What's more, you have made Wang Zhongke's three sons so miserable, and now you and the Wang family are in a fight to the death.

If you resign, won't they immediately pounce on you and eat you alive? How can you still have any ability to protect yourself after resigning? "

"Master Yang, there is no need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind! After resigning, I took my family and fled overseas to find my master. Even if I die on the way, it is a happy achievement! It is better than being forced to death in such a frustrated and useless way.

"

Jiang Chen's face was full of anger, and he looked like he was risking his life.

"you……"

Yang Jian stared anxiously and said angrily: "Are you blaming me for not informing you about the sale of Jinbo Yuye at the Liangbo Office? Then you have misunderstood my good intentions!

I am doing this to help Prime Minister Cai regain his face so that he can explain to the Wang family. If I mediate in the future, Prime Minister Cai will not embarrass you anymore. Don’t you even understand such a simple thing?

?”

As he said that, Yang Jian said with a sinister look on his face: "Good minister, when you pleaded for Jia Xiang and Liang Shicheng in front of the officials, didn't you inform me in advance? Did I ever blame you?"

Um?

Yang Jian refused to tell me. Is it because I interceded for Jia Xiang in the palace yesterday?

No, that’s definitely not the whole reason!

Cai Jing suggested rebuilding Longde Palace and recommended Yang Jian to be promoted to supervise it. That was the real reason and motivation for Yang Jian to betray me!

After thinking about this, Jiang Chen hurriedly saluted Yang Jian with a fearful look on his face and said, "Master Yang said this, then he was really unjustly sentenced to death.

Your Excellency is not only helpful to Xiaguan’s family, but also recommends and promotes Xiaguan!

The admiration and gratitude I feel for you, your Excellency, are like the water of the Yangtze River, stretching forever and ever. How can I be dissatisfied with you?"

real or fake?

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen carefully, and saw that his words were sincere and did not seem to be hypocritical.

While feeling greatly relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to speak to comfort him, Jiang Chen suddenly came closer and whispered:

"I know that you value the Ancestors because you want to understand the past experiences of the world, so that you can accumulate merit, restore your magic power, and rebuild your male body.

In this case, why do you still do the work of promoting and supervising construction? Don't you supervise the East Factory and supervise the world every time you go through calamities? That is the basis for your accumulation of merit!"

"Supervise the East Factory? Supervise the world?"

Yang Jian almost dropped his jaw in shock. He looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief and said, "What is Dongchang? Have I always been so majestic in previous calamities?"

"My lord, can't you remember it at all?"

Jiang Chen looked at Yang Jian with an exaggerated expression.

He secretly sneered in his heart: Cai Jing only recommends that you continue to do that broken lift and make more money; but I can directly use the Annals of Ancient Times to help you build momentum and let you be the factory director of the East Factory. It depends on how you choose!

Thinking like this, Jiang Chen continued to fool Yang Jian, who had a yearning look on his face:

"I would like to give you a hint. When you were the director of the Dongchang Factory in the Ming Dynasty, you had a very domineering opening statement:
Chapter completed!
