Chapter 221 – Impeachment
by Salted Fish — Xu Chun walked over and bowed deeply. "Greetings, Li Yuanshi. I heard you went to inspect the river work. When did you return to the capital? I didn't have the chance to pay you a visit, my apologies." Li Meiyai snorted coldly. "Oh, wasn't it convenient to use old man to teach a lesson to that young Zhuang family scholar? Now you remember respect for elders?" Xu Chun chuckled awkwardly, aware of his own fault, yet knowing that Li Meiyai wouldn't take it seriously with him. After all... he had…

Chapter 220 – Court Session
by Salted Fish — That night, Xu Chun hardly slept, asking if there was news from the port at the slightest sound. Xie Yi knew he was young and inexperienced, having discovered corruption under his governance without realizing that where there was power, corruption would inevitably breed, much like how shadows followed light. Xu Chun and Sheng Changtian had been working day and night for years, each doing the work of several people. Whether it was the schools, factories, or naval bases, any other official tasked with…

Chapter 219 – Going Together
by Salted Fish — Xu Chun ordered fifty thousand taels of silver from the moneylender, which took quite some time. In the end, it was Lady Sheng who heard about it and urgently transferred some from the Duke's mansion's treasury, allowing them to gather fifty thousand taels of silver. It was heavy, filling several large carriages. The guards of the Duke's mansion, the bodyguards hired by the Sheng family, as well as the Fengxiang and Hugeng troops were all ready. Everyone was fully armed, their faces stern. Pei…

Chapter 218 – Hooked
by Salted Fish — Ding Ruyu returned home, noticing the quiet surroundings. He then saw his son running out and scolded him, asking, "Why aren't you studying? What are you doing here? Where's your mother? Why isn't she cooking?" His son was somewhat aggrieved. "Mother heard that you were scolded by the provincial examiner today. She said you're upset and will drink and beat her when you get home, so she went back to Uncle's house." Ding Ruyu was at a loss for words, seeing his son staring at the yellow wine he had…

Chapter 217 – Peach Appreciation
by Salted Fish — When they returned to the palace late at night, Xu Chun washed up and returned to the bedroom, only to find Xie Yi leaning against the pillow on the bed, his eyes lowered in contemplation while wearing a plain silk robe. It was unclear what he was looking at. The candlelight illuminated his skin, which gleamed like jade amidst the light silk, his beautiful face shining with a gentle radiance. Xu Chun quickly approached him, asking, "Brother Jiu, what are you looking at?" As he spoke, he had already rubbed…

Chapter 216 – Not Greedy
by Salted Fish — Xie Yi picked up an apricot from the table and handed it to him. "Eat an apricot then. With such a large business, involving so many people, and goods traveling through so many places, it would be strange if there wasn't any corruption or smuggling. You see, even during the previous dynasty, skinning corrupt officials alive didn't deter others. Human greed knows no bounds; it can't be eliminated, only strictly managed." Xu Chun took the apricot and bit into it fiercely. After thinking about it, he…

Chapter 215 – Irritated
by Salted Fish — Xie Yi only nibbled on a few slices of roasted camel hump before stopping, then had some barley porridge. Xu Chun knew he was very restrained with his diet; even if something tasted good, he wouldn't overindulge, let alone these exotic dishes. The Eight Delicacies mostly consisted of strange things—camel humps, monkey lips, monkey brains, etc. During his former days of frivolity and debauchery, he had coincidentally tried them. But for Xie Yi, who was strictly disciplined from a young age, he barely…

Chapter 214 – Camel Hump
by Salted Fish — Zhuang Renshao looked pale as he watched Xu Chun on horseback, waving his whip, a scene reminiscent of that night - the same arrogant and spoiled demeanor, surrounded by a group of ostentatious servants. Under the bright sun, they appeared exceedingly resplendent. Xu Chun asked maliciously, "Your Zhuang family, in order to curry favor, forced your own young zhuangyuan to die in remonstration. Zhuang Zizhan refused, so you attempted to murder him. Zhuang Zizhan, who had received deep grace from the Saint…

by Salted Fish — Zhuang Renshao had been taking his two nephews to the Jingzhao Prefecture for two consecutive days. Without stopping, they had also sought out Cui Shu. Cui Shu could only personally visit the Jingzhao Prefecture once and speak with the prefectural governor. The Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Jiang Xian was very worried. "We have been searching, but has Cui Sir found any new leads?" Cui Shu had long heard that Jiang Xian was an idiot, yet he had managed to stay in his position as Jingzhao Governor for…

Chapter 212 – Trivial Matters
by Salted Fish — When Xu Chun was having breakfast on the second day, Xie Yi told him about Xie Fei's passing last night. Xu Chun was taken aback. "I even sent people to Jinhai Fortress to invite those two Western missionaries to take a look at him… How did it suddenly worsen?" After saying this, he was indeed saddened, his eyes reddening slightly. "Even though we originally became friends for profit, back when we were in the Imperial Academy, he helped me out quite a bit. He was also full of aspirations, wanting to…
