"Master!" Xiang Zirun frowned, and his tone was also very cold: "If it weren't for Fang Er this time, those people in the epidemic area might have starved to death!"

Although I can't tell Master the source of those grains, those grains are real, even Master can't ignore Fang'er's contribution!
"Master!" Su Kefang asked with a sullen little face, "I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I don't know medical skills. Even if I enter an epidemic area and can't help, I won't be guilty, right?"

He is Zirun's master, and it is not an exaggeration for him to call him master, but if he thinks that he is Zirun's master and can accuse her casually, then he is very wrong!

As soon as Su Kefang said the words, she could clearly sense the anger emanating from Rao Kaiyi, but she still stood there upright, looking straight at Rao Kaiyi with her unfocused eyes. No wonder she was blind.

Xiang Zirun held her hand tightly, looking at his master vigilantly, guarding against his sudden attack.

"Haha~~" Rao Kaiyi stared at Su Kefang for a long while, and then burst out laughing, but the rotten copper-like laughter was too terrifying, making people have to be vigilant.

Xiang Zirun squeezed her hand to reassure her.

After a while, Rao Kaiyi stopped laughing and shouted inexplicably: "Okay!"

Su Kefang couldn't see his expression clearly, and frowned imperceptibly, somewhat unable to figure out what he meant, but Xiang Zirun secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Master, my apprentice wants to ask you something!" Xiang Zirun met his gloomy gaze and said bluntly.

Rao Kaiyi glanced at him dissatisfied: "You dare to contradict me as a teacher because of a woman, and I thought your wings had grown hard!"

Perhaps it was because he couldn't see, so he was particularly sensitive. Su Kefang felt that although Rao Kaiyi's tone of voice to Xiang Zirun was not good, it was vaguely revealing an imperceptible sense of love.

"Apprentice dare not!" Xiang Zirun lowered his head and said.

Rao Kaiyi snorted coldly, and glanced at Su Kefang: "Want to heal her eyes?"

Xiang Zirun didn't answer directly, but said: "Master, Fang Er was plotted against by Rongtai this time because of the people in the epidemic area!"

"You mean, she was plotted to be responsible for her teacher?" Rao Kaiyi said with a little anger in his voice.

"I don't dare, I just want to ask Master to help get the 'Poison Sage' out of the mountain." Xiang Zirun said seriously.

Rao Kaiyi didn't make a sound, but looked at Su Kefang inscrutablely.

Rao Kaiyi nodded after a while, Xiang Zirun felt a little anxious, knelt down on one knee, and begged: "Master, when we brought back food for the people in the epidemic area, Shen Changming said that he would ask the emperor to give us a credit. The apprentice and Fang Er are willing to exchange this merit for the 'Poison Sage' to come out of the mountain!"

Hearing this, Rao Kaiyi laughed angrily: "Zi Run, you are really promising! Not only did you dare to contradict me as a teacher for this woman, you even missed the emperor! Don't say that the 'poison sage' is not under the control of the court, Even if he is under the control of the imperial court, why do you think the emperor would ask me to ask the 'poison sage' to come out of the mountain because of this woman?"

Rao Kaiyi said so many things only when he was facing his valued apprentice. If it was someone else, he would throw out a dead body.

Xiang Zirun glanced sideways at the woman beside him, held her hand tightly, made an important decision, and said decisively: "If the master can agree to invite the 'Poison Sage' to come out of the mountain, all the expenditures of the Onmyoji Division will be paid by the disciples in the future." One person bears it!"

The Department of Yin and Yang was directly ordered by the emperor, and all the expenses were paid from the emperor's private treasury. If such a huge amount of expenditure could be saved, the emperor would be happy to wake up from his dreams, so why would he object?
"You alone?" After hearing this, Rao Kaiyi became even more angry, and angrily slapped the table and asked, "Don't tell me, as the head of the hall, don't you know how much the entire Onmyoji Division needs to spend all year round?"

"My apprentice knows that the Yin-Yang Division spent a total of 35 taels on various tasks the year before last, and the annual profit of the businesses under the Yin-Yang Division was 65 taels, which was offset by the profits of the businesses below us. The imperial court still needs to spend More than 350 taels; last year, the total cost of various tasks was 28 taels, which offset the 42 taels of profits from the following industries, and a total of more than 820 taels had to be spent!" A few huge numbers were reported in a blink of an eye.

The expenses of the Onmyoji Department are determined according to the tasks assigned by the imperial court. Xiang Zirun has been promoted to the head of the hall for less than three years, and has only managed the accounts for two years. Seeing this amount is also shocking, and this huge amount may go up Increase, there is no upper limit, as long as there is a way to heal Fang'er's eyes, he will not gnaw at this bone.

More than 28 taels!

More than 35 taels!

Hearing these two astronomical figures, Su Kefang felt overwhelmed.

"Zi Run, where do we get so much money to fill this hole?" Su Kefang stopped after recovering.

Even if Zirun's master is willing to invite "Poison Sage" out of the mountain, it's still a matter of whether "Poison Sage" can heal her eyes, and she doesn't want Xiang Zirun to fall into it.

It’s fine if it’s a few thousand taels or tens of thousands of taels, and it’s okay to take a gamble, but every year it costs 10 taels, and this number keeps increasing. It’s simply a bottomless pit. Take so much money out?
"As long as your eyes can be cured, I will find a way to solve the money issue." Xiang Zirun squeezed her hand and comforted her.

"But what if you can't get it out?" Su Kefang "looked" at him and asked in a deep voice.

Rao Kaiyi snorted coldly: "If you can't pay the money, you will pay your life!"

Su Kefang's face turned pale, and he turned to Rao Kaiyi and said seriously: "Master, my eyes are dying!"

Rao Kaiyi was quite satisfied with Su Kefang's words, nodded and said: "I also think it's not worth putting Zirun's life in for your eyes!"

"Master—"

Xiang Zirun was anxious and angry, and was about to say something when Rao Kaiyi stood up and interrupted him: "Okay, this is the end of asking the 'Poison Sage' to go down the mountain! I want to go down the mountain, your mother and My daughter is in the back hall, go and have a look."

Rao Kaiyi didn't give Xiang Zirun any chance to speak, and walked out after speaking.

"Fang'er, why did you stop Master?" Xiang Zirun asked angrily.

"Zirun, I don't want you to do stupid things!" Su Kefang took his arm and said softly, "I'm just blind now, but at least our family can still be together, but in case the 'poison sage' can't be cured Well, for my eyes, we still have to fill such a big hole every year, how will our family live?"

She didn't want to do things she wasn't sure about, and she didn't want the whole family to worry about her all day long.
