C750 Modern Report (2/2)
”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! ”
