Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 278 Extraneous problems
What Yang Qian never expected was that trouble would fall on him first.

The next day, I followed Juan to the Ministry of Revenue's silver chariot camp to withdraw money. However, something unexpected happened, which should have gone smoothly.

"Why can't you withdraw it?" Juan asked in a bad tone, staring at the official in the Ministry of Revenue who was in charge of the silver carts and money and grain coming in and out.

"We don't have any advance arrangements for this part of the money, so naturally we can't pay it to you." The official said confidently.

Hu An raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "This money was allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not the Ministry of Revenue. It was just handed over to your Ministry of Revenue silver car for transportation. Naturally, you didn't make any advance arrangements for this money. What? Do you want to take the Ministry of Internal Affairs' money by force?"

"Tsk, deputy attendant, it's no use for you to tell me. I don't know where the money in the camp comes from. I only know that if you want to withdraw money, you have to follow the list in my hand. If it's not on the list, you can't withdraw it."

Hu An was so angry that his eyes were glaring, but he couldn't do anything about the other party for the moment. He could only let Yang Qian stay here while he went to Zhou Ting to get the warrant.

It was troublesome indeed, but Hu An didn't believe that Zhou Ting would dare to take the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

However, Yang Qian, who stayed at the silver carriage, was not as annoyed as Juan, because he recognized the official from the Ministry of Revenue in front of him. He was one of the group of dandies who sat at the same table with him at the banquet yesterday.

"Hmph!" The man didn't even greet Yang Qian. He rolled his eyes, turned around with a sneer on his face and turned to leave.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere. Wait here for Deputy Sergeant Hu to come back." Yang Qian stopped the other person.

"Tsk, Lord Yang, you have such great authority. This is the Ministry of Revenue's silver car camp. I can go wherever I want. Do you have to control me? Haha, do you really think you are so great?"

He was probably intimidated by the evil spirit of Yang Qian yesterday, and when he came to his senses he felt aggrieved and angry. Now that he was in power he immediately got furious. At least he said that he didn't believe that Yang Qian dared to do anything to him.

Yang Qian still didn't know what the other party was going to do. It was nothing more than asking Hu An to make an extra trip, and before Hu An came back with Zhou Ting's warrant, this person was going to run away, saying "I can't find him". Anyway, he just wouldn't do things quickly. It was easy to delay it for four or five days.

If an ordinary official dared to do this, he would have been punished long ago. The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not someone who can be easily messed with. How could he tolerate a subordinate who does not follow the rules?

But these officials are not ordinary people, each of them has a big family behind them. And they are here to gild themselves, and they will not stay for long. If Zhou Ting still takes action to punish them, it will seem "inhumane". So unless it is an extremely serious mistake, these playboys are really not afraid.

Hu An didn't know the whole story and just thought that this official from the Ministry of Revenue was too stubborn in his work, but Yang Qian understood that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble.

Yang Qian smiled, and naturally there was no need to argue with the other party. The aura in his body surged, and a pressure pressed towards the man who wanted to turn around and run away. Immediately, the man's body froze and could not move.

This is not some kind of magic, but simply a simple Qi and blood control. It is effective for all people whose Qi and blood are lower than Yang Qian's. The lower the strength, the more severe the suppression. Just like the man in front of him, he is like a piece of wood. Apart from being able to breathe and blink, he can't move a finger.

It was not until Juan returned with Zhou Ting's warrant that the official, with a grim face, had to pay out the large sum of money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the warrant.

However, when he saw the huge amount of money, the official's eyes flashed with horror and greed. After Yang Qian and Juan drove the money away, he hurried back to the camp and found a group of "brothers" who were still sleeping.

"Brothers! Get up! Wake up! Wake up!"

There were four people sleeping on the common bunk bed in the big tent. After being woken up, they all glared at each other.

Tan Wen was among them. He rubbed his eyes and yawned, saying, "Zeng Liang, if you don't have a reasonable reason, you will be beaten today!" "Young Master Wen! I saw that bastard Yang Qian!"

The cursing in the tent paused for a moment, then became even more unpleasant, and the target shifted from Zeng Liang to Yang Qian. They were considered "big boys" in the imperial city, and they walked around with the wind, not to mention being able to walk sideways in the imperial city. Even Zhou Ting, who led the Ministry of Revenue to Jizhou Prefecture this time, had to be courteous to them.

But what these young masters with their eyes on the top of their foreheads did not expect was that as soon as they arrived in Jizhou Prefecture, they were beaten up by the chief officer of a mere police station, and they were so intimidated that they dared not even fart.

what is this?
Shame!
Otherwise, these people wouldn't be so drunk that they haven't gotten up yet. They probably felt ashamed and drank too much in a fit of rage.

"Are you saying that Yang Qian and an inner guard took away more than 13,000 gold from the Silver Chariot Camp?!"

Such a huge sum of money also made these young masters sober up.

"Yang Qian is only the chief officer of the Jizhou Prefecture Patrol Office, and Hu An is only a small leader of the Internal Guards. How could the two of them come into contact with such a large sum of money?"

“If we can figure it out, maybe”

A smile suddenly appeared on the faces of several people, and they looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

"But the old rules still apply. Don't act rashly. Find out the situation first. Aren't there some acquaintances in Jizhou City? Find them and ask them clearly." Tan Wen is the leader of these playboys. They have already mastered this trick in the imperial city.

"Don't worry, Young Master Wen. I have a few friends in Jizhou City. I will go to them to ask about the situation later. I will definitely find out Yang Qian's background today."

"Well, don't do anything rash before you figure it out. He is only a few years older than us, but he can actually become the chief of the police station in a prefecture, and he seems to be highly regarded by Liu Chuan. He is definitely not a simple man.

As for the money, don’t think about it and don’t say anything about it.”

"Will you go with us, Mr. Wen?"

"No, Yi Lin, Fatty Wang and I are going to go outside the city. Didn't we say we were going to distribute food this time? We'll give some to Jizhou Prefecture, and we still have a lot of the rest. I'm going to check it out first to see if there's anything going on."

"Hehe, Master Wen will definitely be able to find top-quality goods, and we can also get some soup."

"What are you talking about? We are all brothers. If I come across a good piece, can I steal it? Let's share it with everyone. Hehe, to be honest, the women in Jizhou Prefecture are famous. I was itching to have some yesterday. Today is a good opportunity to take a look!"

Several playboys went to do their own things.

Don't think that dudes are stupid. Their minds and insights are much more powerful than ordinary people. They know how to seek good fortune and avoid danger, and prefer to bully the weak and fear the strong. They know very well who not to offend and what not to get involved in.

So even if it's such a huge sum of money, and the name and destination are inexplicable and seem very suspicious, you can still resist the urge to move and find out the target's background first.

However, there are some things that we have become accustomed to, and no matter how hard we try to change them, we cannot do so, and we may even take them for granted.
