I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 185 Promotion and salary increase (asking for monthly ticket)

Ever since he understood Sang Mulan's intention of resigning, Cui Cheng couldn't sleep day and night, and had trouble eating or sleeping. He always felt that he had disappointed the meritorious officials and generals, and that the Evil Suppression Division had lost a great general.

If he couldn't find Sang Mulan, he would have no face to stay in this position of day captain.

In the past two days, whenever Cui Cheng had nothing to do, he would go to the west gate to wait. Sang Mulan would go out from the west gate and would definitely go through the west gate when she came back.

He wanted to meet Sang Mulan as soon as possible and explain clearly that although he, Cui Cheng, was a rough man and stubborn, he also respected loyal and righteous people, no matter whether they were men or women, young or old.

After waiting for a whole morning, Cui Cheng looked through the guard's entry registration book from time to time, but did not see Sang Mulan's name. He threw the registration book to the guard in annoyance and paced back and forth at the city gate.

"Captain Cui, which important figure is coming to Wangshan City that has troubled you to wait here for two days?" the guard asked curiously.

Cui Cheng couldn't lose face, and he didn't want to ruin the reputation that Sang Mulan had worked so hard to protect for him, so he shouted angrily, "Mind your own business!"

An ox cart drove by, Cui Cheng glanced casually and moved aside, suddenly he noticed a woman in black walking slowly towards him with a bag on her back in the distance. Cui Cheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked forward to take a closer look, completely unaware that he had passed Sang Que by.

At the city gate, Sangque jumped off the ox cart, handed over the wooden sign he was given when he left the city last time, and registered his name.

Sang Mulan's name is now known to everyone in Wangshan City. When the guard saw her, he immediately greeted her warmly.

Sang Que's eyes became fierce, and he leaned in closer and shushed, "Don't make a sound!"

The guard was quite smart. He thought Sang Que was carrying out some secret mission. How could a guard like him dare to disrupt the affairs of the Evil Suppression Bureau? He immediately nodded, registered quietly, and let Sang Que enter the city.

"Thank you!"

After Sangque and the ox cart walked away, the guard was still grinning foolishly because of Sangque's gentle thank you. He had been a guard for many years, but no one had ever said thank you to him.

Cui Cheng walked closer and stared at the woman in black, causing her to frown and move away.

When Cui Cheng found out that it was not him, he felt disappointed and paced back and forth at the city gate. When he was tired, he walked to the registration office to sit down and rest and drink some water.

When he tilted his head back to drink water, he glanced at the registration book and suddenly saw the three big words "Sang Mulan" on it. Cui Cheng spat out a mouthful of water.

"When did this person enter the city?"

"Just now." said the guard.

Cui Cheng stood up, his eyes blazing with anger, "You've ruined my plan!"

Leaving the registration book behind, Cui Cheng rushed into the city without stopping.

at that time.

Sangque had successfully returned to his yard and was about to pay the rent for the ox cart, but he couldn't find his purse. For a moment he couldn't remember whether he had left it at home or lost it in the woods.

The side effect of losing money is really terrible. She didn't have much money in the Gui Dynasty, and she didn't have her mother's support like in modern times. If it's gone, it's really gone.

She will donate next month's salary to the longevity Buddha to fulfill her vow.

Sangque gritted his teeth and wanted to curse!

Tomorrow I will secretly sell the glutinous rice and obsidian stones I brought to the black market for money.

The old man driving the ox cart kept staring at Sangque, as if he was afraid that Sangque would default on his debt.

"Wait, I'll go back and get the money."

Sang Que returned to the yard and looked for the money he had put away earlier, but as expected, he couldn't find it. He didn't know whether Xia Chan had taken it away or if there was a thief in the house.

But she found a big box at home. When she opened it, there were gold bars neatly stacked inside. It seemed to be the one thousand gold.

Is this because the thousand gold does not belong to her, so it is not lost?
Captain Cui has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and is very stubborn. After seeing the gold, Sang Que felt less resentful towards Cui Cheng.

Call——

There was a noise outside. Sang Que closed the box and walked out. He saw Cui Cheng hurriedly getting off the horse, his eyes as big as an ox and looking very aggressive.

Sang Que hurriedly recalled how she had ever offended Cui Cheng that made him come to her house and scold her so persistently?

The old man driving the ox cart was still nearby. Before Cui Cheng could say anything, Sang Que took the initiative and said, "Captain Cui, we'll talk about it later. Can you lend me twenty cents first?" Cui Cheng was stunned and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He actually counted out twenty cents from his purse and gave them to Sang Que.

Sang Que saw that his purse was empty, as if there was not even a complete ingot of silver in it. How could a day-trip captain be so poor?

After paying the money, Sang Que took back her big wooden box and moved the things into the yard. Cui Cheng was still standing at the door. She didn't ask him to come in, and he would not break in on his own initiative.

Although he is a bit rude, he is still polite.

"Where...where have you been these two days?" Cui Cheng asked stiffly.

Sang Que answered casually, "I went to buy some things. I am no longer a member of the Evil Suppression Division. Does Captain Cui need to control where I go?"

Cui Cheng's face turned red. Thinking that Sang Que wanted him to give an explanation to everyone inside and outside before leaving, he tried to act kindly and said, "I won't bother with you about what happened before. Take the token back."

Sang Que walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw the token handed back by Cui Cheng, and suddenly a plan came to his mind.

"Captain Cui, don't you think this is too trifling?"

"So what do you want? Do you want me to kneel down and beg you?"

Sang Que scratched his nose, "That's not necessary. It's just that because of the gambling issue, I was corrupted by Jiuyou and it's hard to suppress my own evil spirit. I think I'd better not go back to the Evil Suppression Division, lest I lose control one day and hurt others."

Cui Cheng was shocked. Was Sang Mulan so righteous? Was she prepared to endure the evil spirit's backlash alone for the safety of others?

Could it be that she had been hiding away and enduring the backlash alone for the past two days?
How could they, the Suppression of Evils Division, let such meritorious officials and good generals feel disheartened? Such behavior is worse than that of pigs and dogs!

Cui Cheng frowned and thought, in order to suppress the evil spirit, he needed a large amount of incense to light the heart lamp. This was a safe way. Sang Mulan must not be able to suppress it because her heart lamp was not strong enough.

In order to reduce the rumors about the gambler in the city, He Buning has used the fact that the courtesan of Xueyue Tower is a man to cover up the matter of the gambler in the past two days. Now everyone is discussing how the patrons of the courtesan of Xueyue Tower feel at this moment, and have long forgotten about the gambler.

I'm afraid that in a few days, all the incense and worship that Sang Mulan got from the rumors will disappear, and then her evil spirit will really be out of control.

No, the Evil Suppression Division cannot afford to lose such meritorious officials and generals. It’s just a matter of incense and offerings. It’s easy!
Cui Cheng looked at Sang Que deeply and took back her bronze token. "You are the first to contribute to the gambling ghost incident. This is beyond doubt and no one can erase it. Come to report on time tomorrow. Then, I will return your token to you!"

After saying that, Cui Cheng turned around and mounted his horse, going to discuss with He Buning. He wanted He Buning to promote Sang Que as an exception and directly promote him to Yin You.

Sang Que is a ghost man, so it's not impossible for him to take emergency measures!
After Cui Cheng left, Sang Que returned to the house and hid the things he brought safely.

Although she didn't know what had happened, why was there a hint of admiration and guilt in Cui Cheng's eyes when he looked at her?

Forget it, she is just an employee, she doesn't want to guess what her boss is thinking. Anyway, she has expressed her desire for promotion and salary increase, so whether her boss is willing or not, she will just go to work honestly tomorrow.

If she didn't get next month's salary, Shou Fo would slap her to death.

After hiding the big wooden box, Xia Chan and Xuan Yu still hadn't come back, so Sang Que went out to look for them. On the street, he saw Kou Yushan patrolling. After asking, he found out that He Buning had been playing with Xia Chan for the past two days, and that He Buning had returned on the day she left Wangshan City.

Sang Que's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had been exposed?
After thinking for a while, Sang Que's gambling nature erupted. She bet that He Buning hadn't noticed it. It would seem deliberate for her to go to his house to explain. After all, with the influence of Empress Wu, he would definitely not see through her true identity.

With such a gambler's mentality, Sang Que returned to the courtyard where he lived, but at the gate of the courtyard he met He Buning, who had personally sent Xia Chan and Xuan Yu back.

Xia Chan was dressed in a new look from head to toe, wearing a silk cotton coat, a gold hairpin on her head, a jade pendant around her waist, and even the black jade in her arms was wearing a gold necklace, looking extremely noble.

Standing next to He Buning, I actually feel like we are brother and sister.

"Sister~"

Xia Chan was very happy to see Sang Que. He dropped Xuan Yu and ran to her. He immediately took off the gold hairpin on her head and the jade pendant on her waist and stuffed them into Sang Que's hands.

"It's valuable. Sister will exchange it for money to buy delicious food!"

When He Buning saw this scene, the smile on his lips gradually froze and he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Sang Que was also a little embarrassed. He asked Xia Chan to put the things away by himself, and looked at He Buning and said directly, "Captain He, do you know how to solve the curse? I seem to be cursed."

Hearing this, He Bu Ning's pupils trembled slightly, and he looked at Sang Que again seriously.

Thanks to [Mu Dai 999] for the reward, I am very grateful~
I'm a bit busy today, I'll update tomorrow to thank you.

See you tomorrow~
