Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 716: Constant Reversals and Trap-Setting Explanations

"You two have eaten and drank tea, what else do you want to do?"

"Do you really think I have nothing to do?"

"Get lost if you have nothing to do. I still need to make toys with my daughter!"

Master Hu looked at the two dog coins in front of him with great disdain, who were neither sitting nor standing properly.

When Fang Xiaoru heard this, he looked somewhat embarrassed and hesitated.

But Jie Jin is different.

As a "talented person" who knew how to hang out in brothels at an early age and could occasionally get free treatment, Xie Jin relied on more than just his talent.

His thick skin should be credited at least for a quarter of the success.

Look, Fang Xiaoru was obviously feeling embarrassed, but he felt so comfortable facing the disdainful look of Master Hu.

"Mr. Hu, look at what you said."

"I have known you for a long time, how can you bear to send me away like this?"

"Look, we have only known each other for a few years, and I am not even qualified to call myself your subordinate in front of you. How pitiful!"

"How about you, have mercy on me, your little brother, and show me a way forward!"

Faced with the shameless Xie Jin, Master Hu was completely speechless.

"No, Mr. Xie, are you sick?"

"Fuck, how many people are there who can call themselves your subordinates in front of me now?"

"How long have you been an official? Are you still thinking of getting promoted to the fourth rank?"

"As for saying I'm showing you the way, that's even more ridiculous. Didn't I just explain it to you clearly?"

"As long as you are not greedy, don't take sides, and just stay in the background and be invisible, you will be fine."

"You may be considered as good young talents in front of your family and relatives, but in the court, you are just little kids who don't even have the qualifications to attend the court."

"As long as you don't follow Huang Zicheng's example and seek death, you will be safe and sound. What else do you want me to tell you?"

When Mr. Hu said this, he actually felt speechless.

Is this what happened to Huang Zicheng?

Damn it, my butterfly wings just fanned Huang Zicheng to death?
This is simply off the mark!
For Mr. Hu, this is nothing special, the most important thing is to remind him something.

Hurry and stay alive!

Don't go out and have fun!

Because his current understanding of "history" can only serve as a small reference.

More often than not, you still have to rely on surviving.

There was no way Zhu Yuanzhang would let him leave Yingtian!
Although the king and his minister had never discussed the matter in detail, they both understood it in their hearts.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang’s bottom line.

All the members of your Hu family are in Yingtian City, so you can live a peaceful life.

Otherwise, you'll have no chance of living this life.

Master Hu naturally knew what was going on, so he simply hid in Hujiazhuang and lived his own life.

Keep your distance and everyone will be comfortable!

But the result?

These two little brats came to me with eager eyes, and actually wanted to drag me to discuss the affairs of the court?

Damn it, it’s fine if the Zhu brothers pull us.

That was done to save their lives, so we had no choice but to help out with some ideas.

But you two little bastards, you've already been warned to be cautious, what else do you want?

Do you really think I owe you something? When he thought of this, Master Hu's brows immediately frowned, and his eyes became more and more murderous when he looked at the two brats.

It didn't look like they were watching two brothers who had been to a brothel together. It looked more like they were watching two little brats.

Xie Jin and the other man felt itchy all over when they were looked at by Master Hu.

Xie Jin didn't dare to make any more jokes at this time.

Because it is obvious that Master Hu is angry.

If you say any witty remarks or something like that at this time, you would definitely offend Master Hu.

But Mr. Hu is famous for being petty and holding grudges.

The two of them are just young newcomers to the officialdom.

Without any background or support, how could he withstand the torment of Master Hu?

I'm afraid that Master Hu might spread the word and they will have to go back home to farm in two days?
When he thought of that ending, Xie Jin felt like he was frozen in place, completely speechless.

Fang Xiaoru, who was standing by, wasn't feeling well either.

He is afraid too.

Do you really think he is not afraid of life and death?

Moreover, if Master Hu really got angry, he probably wouldn't want to kill them, but their life of having an official position, face, and status would come to an end, and they would be reduced to dust and forced to return home to farm.

He couldn't accept this kind of ending.

However, Fang Xiaoru is a few years older than Xie Jin and has a more stable personality.

He gritted his teeth, knelt down with a plop, and stood up straight, looking at Master Hu who remained calm, and said in a deep voice.

"Master Hu, please calm down. We are indeed a little confused, but we are really forced into no choice."

"We are both from Jiangnan. In fact, as early as when I first entered the officialdom, my fellow villagers and relatives contacted me and waited for me."

"Especially after you set up a Foreign Diplomatic Department and then His Majesty lifted the maritime ban, there were more fellow countrymen to contact."

"We were able to hold on at the time and didn't want to get involved, and they didn't think too highly of us little kids, so it just ended there."

"But now that His Majesty has issued an imperial decree to increase the land tax, we can no longer bear it."

"My fellow villagers, clan members, and teachers have all come to me. They even want us to draft a piece of advice and submit it to them!"

"Master Hu, we are not stupid. This advice is directed to His Majesty."

"No matter whether this thing succeeds or not, we are both dead."

"Master Hu, we really have no other choice, so we have to come to you for help!"

"We both know that we don't have the status or connections to ask you to come forward, so we only ask you to show us the way!"

"We both really just want to be small officials peacefully!"

Fang Xiaoru's words sounded so aggrieved and sad.

But after Master Hu glanced at him, he sneered in annoyance.

"Don't be so damn scary."

"Don't I know the people behind you?"

"Even if they want to push you two out to write a letter of remonstrance and fight to your death, are they just forcing your heads to do it?"

"Needless to say, the conditions must have been put forward, and all the benefits must have been laid out clearly, right?"

"It's just that one of you thinks the risk is too great, and the other thinks the conditions are not good enough, so you don't want to agree."

"It's a pity that you two are not in a position to bargain with others. You either agree or you don't, right?"

When Mr. Hu said this, Fang Xiaoru's eyes widened and his mouth couldn't close.

At this moment, he was horrified to discover.

It turns out that Master Hu is even more powerful than they thought! (End of this chapter)
