C7 Entering the Court as an Official

Chen Xiaowu, who had changed into his official attire, was sitting in the carriage. He, who was slower in his reaction, finally felt something was wrong.

Chen Xiaowu stole a glance at Mo Yan, who was sitting opposite him. He hesitated for a long time, but he still mustered up his courage and called out.

"Mo, Lord Mo..."

...

"When will I be able to return to the prefecture?"

... ""

The vegetables at home. Once all the vegetables have withered, the herdsman can only wait to be starved to death."

"What about your family's property?"

"They were all transferred to someone who has the ability to take care of them."

"What about your family's assets?"

"Father and mother are in the bank. I only take ten taels of silver for a living every month."

Mo Yan could not help but turn a blind eye to Chen Xiaowu. He glanced at Chen Xiaowu. "No wonder. Young Master always says that you are a fool. In my opinion, you are a fool."

Chen Xiaowu smiled bitterly. He was just not as obsessed with these worldly possessions as he used to be.

After a long time, the carriage finally arrived at the Imperial City.

Mo Yan swiftly flew off the carriage and stood at the side. Ever since he had stayed with this fool, he felt that something was wrong all over his body.

Chen Xiaowu reluctantly jumped off the carriage and followed Mo Yan's footsteps, stepping into the Imperial City step by step.

Mo Yan was worried and could not help but remind him, "After entering the Palace, don't say anything. Just pretend to be mute."

"Oh." Chen Xiaowu replied in a low voice.

After walking for an hour, they finally arrived at the main hall of the palace, the Emperor's Imperial Reading Room.

female official, who was waiting at the door, saw that it was Mo Yan. She nodded at him and let the two of them in.

"This official Mo Yan greets the Emperor."

"This official Lee Yuhan greets the Emperor."

Chen Xiaowu imitated Mo Yan's actions and knelt down together to bow to the Emperor.

The Emperor wore a golden five-clawed dragon robe. When he saw Chen Xiaowu, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and his eyes lowered to cover the fatigue in his eyes.

"Lee Yuhan, do you still remember Zhen? I saved your life in Suzhou."

Chen Xiaowu knelt on the ground. When he heard the familiar voice above his head, he was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Mo Yan was at the side. He grabbed Chen Xiaowu's arm and the pain came at him. He was so scared that he quickly dodged.

When Chen Xiaowu raised his head slightly, he saw that the Emperor was actually Loong Yin. He was so shocked that he couldn't say anything for a long time.

"This... why, why is it you?"

Loong Yin stood up and helped Chen Xiaowu sit on the armchair. He smiled. "Don't panic. Zhen will protect you."

After comforting Chen Xiaowu, Loong Yin took out a memorial from the table and handed it to Mo Yan for inspection.

Loong Yin's face was a little haggard. He looked like he hadn't slept for a long time. The last time Chen Xiaowu saw him in Su Province, he was a big shot in high spirits.

It turned out that these big shots all had their own problems. It seemed that it wasn't easy to be a big shot.

Chen Xiaowu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this moment, Loong Yin had already opened another memorial and handed it to Mo Yan. There was a probing look in his eyes.

"Recently, the dam at the riverside of Suzhou has suddenly collapsed. The officials of the court have all requested funds to aid the disaster. Mo Yan, what do you think about this matter?"

Mo Yan couldn't help but frown. He had heard of this before. He didn't know that the royal court was already in deep trouble.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the dam by the river was only repaired last year. It has only been less than a year, but it has actually become like this. There must be some hidden reason behind it."

Loong Yin nodded his head and looked at Mo Yan with an expression of approval.

"Zhen's thoughts are the same as yours. I'm afraid that the region of Suzhou has to be properly dealt with again. Otherwise, once the rainy season arrives, the flood will wreak havoc and countless refugees. The world will definitely fall into chaos."

Mo Yan looked at Loong Yin with hesitation, and after hesitating for a moment, he still revealed the most troublesome point to Loong Yin.

"Emperor, the son of the Left Prime Minister, Xu Huawen, is the son of the Prefectural Governor of Suzhou. The other ministers do not dare to offend him so easily. Who can we send to investigate now?"

Loong Yin smiled gently. "There was originally no one, but now, there is one, and he is right in front of us."

Mo Yan had a bad feeling. "Emperor, you mean..."

Loong Yin nodded. "As you think, it is him, Lee Yuhan."

Mo Yan was shocked and tried to persuade Loong Yin to change his mind.

"No way. You don't know that he not only lost all his family property, but also spent his days farming. I don't think he can even tell his accounts."

Loong Yin was calm and collected. "Zhen wants someone who can't even tell the accounts. Only then can he take responsibility."

Mo Yan saw Loong Yin's determination and did not stop him, "Emperor, since that is the case, this official is at your disposal."

Loong Yin walked to the front of the table and flipped open the memorials. From the various letters, he took out the Imperial Decree that had been drafted.

Chen Xiaowu looked at Loong Yin blankly as he took the imperial edict and stopped in front of him.

Mo Yan glanced at Chen Xiaowu and saw that he was still on the armchair. He hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "Receiving the imperial edict is like meeting the Emperor. All of you must kneel and bow."

After Mo Yan's reminder, Chen Xiaowu finally reacted. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

Loong Yin personally read the Imperial Decree. His voice was hoarse and magnetic.

"Lee Yuhan, from today onwards, Zhen will name you as the Suzhou Supervisory Censor. I will send the Viceroy to Suzhou to investigate the dam collapse case by the river."

"Ah?"

Chen Xiaowu was a little confused. He looked at Loong Yin, not knowing what was going on.

Loong Yin looked at Chen Xiaowu with a complicated expression. There was a warning in his eyes.

"From today onwards, you are my subject. From now on, you are not allowed to neglect your duties and covet State Advisor."

Only then did Chen Xiaowu react and hurriedly pushed him away. "This... This official does not have the ability to do so. I do not dare to say it. I hope that the Emperor will take back the order!"

Who knew that at this time, Loong Yin was the same as Dugu Jian, directly ignoring Chen Xiaowu's request. He raised his eyes and instructed Mo Yan.

"Mo Yan, you must follow Lee Yuhan closely this time. You must ensure his safety."

When Mo Yan thought about how he would have to face Chen Xiaowu in the days to come, he instantly felt that he had nothing to live for.

However, he could only brace himself and accept this mission.

"Yes, this official accepts the order."

Not long after, the son of the Censor, Lee Yuhan, was personally promoted by the Emperor to handle the case of the dam collapse at the river bank of Suzhou. When this news was released, the entire court was in an uproar.

Various documents and letters of objection filled the storage cabinets in the Imperial Reading Room. All of the officials in the court claimed that they were seriously ill and declined the court.

Loong Yin was unmoved. He sat on the side couch of the bedroom so that he could play a game of chess.

female official saw that Loong Yin was only wearing a thin middle garment. She quickly put on a fox fur coat to protect him from the wind and placed the steaming hot soup on the side.

After doing all this, female official sensibly closed the door and stood guard outside.

Loong Yin played with the chess pieces in his hands. On the surface of the chess board, a group of white chess pieces were helpless. Hei Zi took the opportunity to form an encirclement on the side.

The entire situation seemed like the white chess pieces were going to be swallowed up by Hei Zi.

A black figure quietly landed on the dragon after it turned invisible. It took out a hidden token with blood and passed it to Loong Yin to check.

"Emperor, at noon tonight, leader of the devil Cult Yann Mei has led the three thousand disciples and sneaked into Luoyang City."

Loong Yin frowned. "Then are they heading towards the Imperial Palace?"

"Not really. They are heading to the residences of the ministers."

"Oh?"

The black shadow thought for a while and brought up the matter of Loong Yin saving Lee Yuhan from leader of the Martial Arts Alliance two months ago.

"It seems like leader of the devil Cult, Yann Mei, received the news that you saved Lee Yuhan the last time, which caused leader of the Martial Arts Alliance to be furious and attack the Devil Cult branch."

Loong Yin remained silent. After a long time, he had a cold smile on his face, and his eyes were full of killing intent. "All the ministers in the court have not attended court for a few days?"

Black Shadow's body froze, and he felt a chill on his back. He was shocked by Loong Yin's sudden killing intent.

"Reporting to the Emperor, for three whole days, these people are hiding in the mansion and are not willing to go to court."

Loong Yin glanced at the black shadow. "Wait for them to make a scene first. When they clean up the mess, stay and listen to people's words."

The black shadow knew that Loong Yin was planning to make a big exchange of blood. However, he did not show any reaction. It was really frightening.

"I understand."
