Quickly travel through the white moonlight and go crazy

Chapter 10 A Good Wife Helps Me Qingyunzhi 10
Shen Chen raised his lips and smiled.

Interesting, really interesting.

She touched her smooth chin. The face she was using now was the face of the last male protagonist of Small World.

It is indeed even better than Li Yanshu.

After wandering around for a long time, the number of people on the street gradually decreased, and the vendors made a lot of money. They were so happy that they started to close their stalls and go home.

Shen Chen also walked towards his mansion.

This time she came out without a servant, just by herself.

The wind at night became even colder, and it hit my face with a dull pain, and the robe on my body was blown by.

It became more and more secluded as we walked, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

There were only a few scattered lanterns hanging by the roadside.

The doors and windows of every house were closed.

Shen Chen raised his head and glanced at the moon hanging high in the sky.

A sentence came to mind.

The moon is dark and the night is killing, when the wind is high and the fire is set on fire.

Shen Chen rubbed his arms, feeling so cold.

The bait has already entered the river, why doesn't the big fish come?

Suddenly, several masked men in black flew out from the darkness and blocked Shen Chen's way.

Shen Chen's eyes lit up.

coming.

Those people were obviously very professional. Without saying a word, they quickly surrounded Shen Chen and slowly approached with their swords in hand.

"Thank you for your hard work in such a cold weather."

The black-clothed assassins looked at Shen Chen with cold eyes without any emotion, as if Shen Chen was already a dead person.

Shen Chen took out a fan from his pocket and opened it with a clatter.

It's time for her to pretend.

The fan was thrown out by her, and the two assassins were dealt with in one maneuver. Shen Chen turned sideways to avoid the attack and kicked the assassin in the chest.

The doors and windows of the house were also opened, and a group of people wearing the uniforms of the capital guards jumped out.

Start helping Shen Chen deal with these assassins.

Seeing this scene, the assassin in black yelled secretly and was ambushed.

I saw my companions fall down one by one.

He has no way to escape, so he will kill himself with his sword.

But he didn't expect that a folding fan knocked his sword away.

The thin-looking scholar ducked beside him in the blink of an eye, instantly breaking his arms and legs and removing his jaw.

Cold fingers stuffed into his mouth.

He forcefully broke off his teeth that were hiding the poison.

The salty blood filled his entire mouth.

But because Shen Chen had removed his jaw, he couldn't even swallow, so he could only let the blood flow down the corner of his mouth.

Shen Chen sent five or six assassins a set meal of breaking hands and teeth.

Watch as the group of people following behind take care of the remaining assassins.

"They are all alive. Take them back and hand them over to His Majesty for interrogation."

Shen Chen kicked the first assassin to be dealt with: "Pay close attention to this."

The man wearing an official hat saluted Shen Chen: "Yes, Lord Shen."

They quickly took the assassin away and cleaned up the scene without disturbing the surrounding people to avoid causing panic.

Shen Chen finally got his wish and went back to sleep.

I saw Shen Chen was fine when he went out, but when he came back he was covered in blood.

The servants were all shocked.

But everyone kept their mouths shut. Shen Chen knew that these people were sent by the little emperor, so he was not worried that they would reveal it.

The little maid who had been waiting for Shen Chen to come back, saw Shen Chen's appearance, her eyes were red and she was about to cry.

The adults are obviously fine when they go out.

Why did it happen in less than two hours? He must have encountered some danger.

Shen Chen touched her head and comforted her.

"It's okay, the blood is not mine."

The little maid didn't believe it, but she could only secretly wipe her tears.

Shen Chen took a shower and changed his clothes.

The little maid breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Shen Chen's face was rosy and it seemed that nothing was wrong.

The eyes were now swollen like peaches.

Rest time is always very short.

Shen Chen's request for a salary increase was handed over for several days, but nothing happened.

A few days later, Shen Chen went to court without incident, and he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the court today was more solemn.With a sense of oppression that is about to come.

Shen Chen had already thought about it from the time Qin Xuan introduced her in a high-profile manner.

Sooner or later it happens.

After the morning court, Shen Chen and a group of ministers were sent to the Qinzheng Hall to continue a small meeting.

Qin Xuan's men had already interrogated the assassins.

But they are very strict and have said nothing until now.

Qin Xuan summoned them to discuss whether to raise the salaries of officials.

Qin Xuan believed that the money in the treasury should be used to build Xuan Kingdom, build canals, use work instead of labor, and reduce the burden on the people.

And he has been very generous to officials.

Just like Shen Chen, a sixth-grade official, her monthly salary is more than enough for three months.

But here's what he hadn't considered at all before.

Ministers are also human beings, and people don’t live just to eat.

In addition to supporting their families, they also have a fixed amount of paper money every month.

Qin Xuan thought about it and felt that what Shen Chen said in the excerpt also made some sense.

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

What's more, Daxuan's treasury is now full, the food in it has been piled up to the point where it can't be piled up, and the ropes stringing the copper plates together are rotten.

I heard Qin Xuan said that he wanted to increase his salary.

As the emperor's confidant, the officials who were poorer than the last were shocked.

Can I finally switch from eating meat once every seven days to once every three days?

I heard it was Shen Chen's suggestion.

Everyone looked at Shen Chen with bright eyes, and some even had tears in their eyes.

Brother Shen, you are so righteous.

Shen Chen smiled, hiding his merit and fame.

The increase is not much, but at least it is enough for ministers to maintain their daily expenses without having to cut back on food and clothing.

When she went back after the small meeting, there were fewer people watching.

Those people should be dealt with by Qin Xuan.

The rest should be the Dog Emperor's people.

Thinking that he would get a salary increase this month, Shen Chen felt happy.

Qin Xuan was not only ruthless to minister Zhou, but also very cruel to himself. He was so frugal that he was not like an emperor.

The few hundred gold he gave himself was really rare now that he thought about it.

Shen Chen usually eats two meals a day.

If you have time to drink a bowl of hot porridge before going to court, if you don't have time to carry two cakes into the palace, it is equivalent to not eating.

After coming back, we had breakfast and lunch, and it was already evening after catching up on some sleep.

She usually doesn't eat at home in the evening.

Go to a roadside stall to have something to eat.

The wontons in the east of the city and the pork and green onion buns in the west are both delicious and only cost one copper coin.

Inexpensive.

When you have the luxury, go to the next restaurant.

In fact, in ancient times, there was a term for “takeaway”.

As long as five cents ago, a restaurant waiter will deliver hot meals to the mansion.

Shen Chen got a salary increase today, and Shen Chen decided to celebrate.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's road was narrow. As soon as he arrived at his usual restaurant, he was stopped by an old man with a white beard.

Taking a closer look, this is not the Minister of Rites.

Shen Chen is active in business.

The Minister of Rites smiled and stroked his beard: "Master Shen, you are here to eat."

nonsense.

Could it be that she came to the restaurant to wash dishes?

There was still a polite smile on his face: "Yes, Mr. Wu, have you eaten?"

Minister of Rites: "Not yet. I just arrived. Master Shen hasn't had his meal yet."

Shen Chen continued to talk nonsense: "I haven't eaten yet."

The Minister of Rites waved his sleeves and said, "There are several adults upstairs as well. Sir Shen, please go with us. I am treating you today."

Shen Chen thought about the prices of food in this restaurant.

With a smile on his face: "Okay, thank you Mr. Wu first."

From the time he worked with Mr. Wu, Shen Chen discovered that Mr. Wu was a complete fun-loving person.

If anyone disagrees with him, he can fight with them on the spot in the court.
