Chapter 196 Wishes Come True
The next day, when Yang Zongtai went to the government office to report, he suddenly found himself the focus of everyone!Not only the officials in the government office, but even the guards at the gate of the government office pointed at him and exchanged something in a low voice, and all the eyes that looked at him were full of awe without exception.

"Master Yang, you are really hiding something! You even cling to the old man's relationship!"

"Master Li, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word!"

When Yang Zongtai heard this, he froze in place, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked.

"Stop pretending, tell me! When did you get into the relationship with the old man? If you become prosperous in the future, don't forget me."

"My relationship with the old man? Master Li, this is not a joke!"

When Yang Zongtai heard this, he quickly argued.

Immediately afterwards, he wanted to pull the person aside and ask him for the specific reason.

At this moment, Yang Zongtai's boss walked in with his hands behind his back, and his previously stern face has softened a lot now, with a little smile on his face.

I saw him turn his gaze to Yang Zongtai, and said kindly: "Please come over with me, I have something to explain to you."

"Yes, my lord!"

After Yang Zongtai responded, he followed in his footsteps and came to the place where he routinely handles official duties.

"Come on, sit down, you're welcome!"

Yang Zongtai's boss pointed to the vacant seat beside him and said softly.

"Yes, my lord!"

Seeing that the boss who used to be vicious before became so pleasant now, Yang Zongtai couldn't tell for a while what kind of medicine this boss was selling in the gourd.

"He doesn't want to hand over the hardest part of the job to me!"

When Yang Zongtai thought of this, he immediately sat upright, anxiously waiting for the boss to speak.

After a while, Yang Zongtai's boss coughed twice, and said slowly: "It's been hard work for you these days, and this officer is also responsible. I hope you don't blame this officer!"

"Where is that, my lord is serious. Since serving under your command, I have benefited a lot! I have also learned a lot."

Yang Zongtai was completely confused by his boss's attitude, so he could only follow his wishes and compliment him.

"Well, as long as you don't resent me."

After Yang Zongtai's boss finished speaking, he immediately called his subordinates, and after whispering a few words in his ear, the subordinates left quickly.

When he came back, he was still holding a big bundle in his hand.

"Sir, are you?"

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai had a bad premonition in his heart, and then asked.

"This is the silver that I temporarily kept for you when you made a mistake before, and now it is returned to the original owner!"

After Yang Zongtai's boss finished speaking, he handed the burden to Yang Zongtai.

Yang Zongtai just glanced at it and knew that the amount of silver taels in the baggage was far more than the salary he was fined!

"My lord, this can't be done! I just came here for the first time. Thanks to your guidance, I was able to get acquainted with the affairs of the government office. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

After Yang Zongtai finished speaking, he handed the burden back to his boss.

Seeing Yang Zongtai's resolute expression, his superior also gave up this idea, sighed, and said slowly: "The notice from the Ministry of Officials has come down, and you won't be on duty here from tomorrow on."

"Excuse me, my lord, where will I serve as an officer next?"

After Yang Zongtai heard the news, he immediately cheered up, forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked.

"Your current rank and treatment remain unchanged, and you should go back to Quanzhou Prefecture to be your county magistrate!"

"What? Let me go back to Quanzhou to continue working!"

After Yang Zongtai heard the news from his boss, he was about to jump up excitedly, thinking to himself, "Could it be that the wish I made before has come true?"

But Yang Zongtai's superior didn't notice the expression on Yang Zongtai's face, but said to himself: "I know this is hard for you to accept, but this is the cabinet elder who personally recommended you to His Majesty."

"Therefore, you have no room to refuse."

After Yang Zongtai's boss finished speaking, he immediately added another sentence.

Hearing this, Yang Zongtai's extremely happy heart suddenly became silent, and he confirmed to his superior: "My lord, you just said that I was personally recommended to His Majesty by the elders of the cabinet?"

"That's right, don't you know? Gao Gong, the household servant, personally recommended you to His Majesty!"

When Yang Zongtai's boss saw this, his face was full of doubts.

"My lord, my officer..."

Yang Zongtai's face was full of hesitation, just when he was about to tell everything, he was interrupted by his boss.

I saw that he pretended to be helpless and sighed, with a little flattery on his face: "Can you intercede with Mr. Gaoge for me, I have stayed in this position for too long, Even in my dreams, I want to move!"

"My lord, I don't know Mr. Gao Ge!"

Yang Zongtai sighed helplessly and explained.

"Hmph, don't try to deceive me, you don't know Elder Gao Ge, so why would he recommend you to His Majesty?"

"I see, you just have resentment towards me and you just don't want to help."

Hearing Yang Zongtai's refusal, his boss immediately said angrily.

However, he didn't dare to threaten him like before, after all, this old man in front of him must not be offended!

……

In this way, Yang Zongtai spent this day in all kinds of torments. Everyone in the government office wanted to get in touch with him, so all kinds of compliments were like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, endlessly, which made people feel bored!Yang Zongtai has never felt that time passes so slowly. For him, every minute and every second is torture.

When it was time to be on duty, after bidding farewell to his colleagues, Yang Zongtai left the government office at the fastest speed in his life without looking back.

As soon as he got home, Yang Zongtai called his wife and announced the good news to her face to face.

"What? Can we go back to Quanzhou?"

After Yang Zongtai's wife heard it, her face was full of excitement, and she confirmed again and again.

"Yes, the notice from the Ministry of Officials has come down."

Yang Zongtai nodded without denying it.

"By the way, why were you transferred back to Quanzhou so suddenly?"

Yang Zongtai's wife said, pouring a cup of hot tea for her.

"Oh, I don't know about my husband. It is said that Gao Gong, the cabinet boss in the capital, recommended me to His Majesty!"

"But I guess, it should be because of the fact that Quanzhou Port is about to reopen."

Yang Zongtai said, shook his head, and sighed helplessly.

"No matter what, this old Gaoge is really our family's benefactor!"

"If you continue to be the Prime Minister here, I will be worried to death!"

After Yang Zongtai's wife finished speaking, she seemed to recall the days of fear and fear, her face was full of fear.

Seeing this, Yang Zongtai hugged his wife into his arms and comforted him softly: "Let's pack up our things tomorrow and leave this place! Return to Quanzhou as soon as possible."

"Well, I listen to you."

Yang Zongtai's wife buried her face deep in her husband's chest and whispered.

……

"My lord, we have already killed so many people, should we stop?"

In the room, Yan Maoqing's bodyguard advised so.

"It's okay, I naturally understand the proportions!"

Yan Maoqing waved his hand and said so.

"But my lord, the imperial court sent us to collect the salt tax. If we delay the business, I'm afraid..."

Yan Maoqing's bodyguard hesitated for a long time, so said.

"What I'm doing now is business. I want these people to understand what will happen to me!"

"The more people I kill here, the easier it will be to collect the salt tax, understand?"

Yan Maoqing patiently explained to her bodyguard.

"My lord, please forgive my subordinates for speaking bluntly. There must be a limit to killing chickens and monkeys. If you continue to be implicated like this, I'm afraid it will cause public outrage!"

Seeing this, Yan Maoqing's bodyguard knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, it will be over soon."

Yan Maoqing ignored the personal guard's advice, but said silently to himself.
