Zhao Yueyao muttered: "No, I'm recovering from a serious illness now, how can I eat such greasy things."

The prince became angry: "You have to have it if you want it, and you have to have it if you don't want it. Zhao Yueyao, are you still waiting for Chu Nian to send you something, I tell you, there is no way! Now you move to my tent, you know Back to Kyoto."

Zhao Yueyao couldn't believe it: "No, I don't want it. Your Highness, do you know the rumors outside now?"

The prince was noncommittal: "So what if you know, is it possible that you have to look at other people's eyes when you do things alone? What they said is actually true, you are indeed a disaster, you have a good-looking life, and you have such a bad temper."

Zhao Yueyao waved the prince's hand away, turned around angrily and left.

But outside the door came the voice of the eunuch next to the emperor. The eunuch was smiling, as if he didn't wonder why the prince was in Zhao Yueyao's tent.

He directly conveyed the emperor's oral order, asking Zhao Yueyao to return to the capital ahead of schedule tonight.

Zhao Yueyao was eager to do this, the prince's face was dark: "Is this the will of the emperor himself?"

The eunuch frowned and replied: "Returning to His Royal Highness, yes. The emperor is not feeling well recently, and his majesty does not want to see anyone until the hunting is over."

Anyone, including the prince and Chu Nian.

Zhao Yueyao lowered his head and went to pack his luggage.

The prince laughed angrily, and pointed at Zhao Yueyao before leaving: "Okay, it's very good, I'll deal with you when Gu goes back!"

Zhao Yueyao hung his head and packed his things without saying anything.

Because of his clumsiness, he couldn't put the clothes folded by the willow branches back, but they were crumpled.

The eunuch came over: "My lord, let the slaves come."

The eunuch's hands were very nimble, and he packed everything smoothly, and tied the bundle with a beautiful bow.

Zhao Yueyao was invited into the carriage, and he lay on the window looking at the royal garden behind him, regretting that he didn't play anything.

"Wait a moment!"

Someone came galloping in a black cloak. It turned out to be Chu Nian. He turned over and got off his horse. When he saw Zhao Yueyao, he didn't say a word.

The palace man in the carriage was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness Sixth, this servant has been ordered to send the prince back to the capital. If it takes too long, His Majesty will blame you."

Chu Nian: "I know, I won't waste your time. Changqing, give the things to Yao'er."

Changqing brought out a food box and handed it to Zhao Yueyao from the window.Zhao Yueyao blinked while holding the huge red food box.Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chu Nian turning around with a black cloak.

The carriage left smoothly, and Zhao Yueyao opened the food box. It turned out that it was roasted venison that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the roasted venison was still warm.

Zhao Yueyao took a bite and his eyes lit up: "It's delicious, even better than the venison in Nanyue."

The smell of roasted venison wafted out along the wind and reached the nose of the little eunuch driving outside.They were low-level palace people, so they had never eaten this kind of food. When they were secretly swallowing their saliva, a plain white hand stretched out from the curtain of the carriage, and there were some strings of venison in it.

"Here, everyone who sees it has a share, you can try it too!"

Zhao Yueyao smiled and said with crooked eyes.

Perhaps because the moonlight was too bright and the weather was too cold, the two usually cautious little eunuchs took the strings of venison and tentatively took a bite.

The two of them had never eaten such delicious food, and they immediately felt that Zhao Yueyao was a very good person.They are not very old, one drives a car and the other eats meat, but they have a rare youthful air.

The carriage traveled all night before returning to Kyoto.

At the gate of the house, the concierge saw Zhao Yueyao, and rushed in to tell Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi took over Zhao Yueyao's burden: "My lord, this servant has already prepared meals and water for bathing."

Zhao Yueyao saw a familiar person and felt relaxed. He stretched his waist and said, "I'm so tired. I want to take a bath first. Willow branch, give the two father-in-law some hard work. They sent me back all night after hard work."

Liu Zhi saluted and nodded.

If you return to Kyoto in advance, you can no longer be idle, you have to go to the household department to do things.

What Zhao Yueyao didn't expect was that he had calculated thousands of times. He didn't expect that many people in the household department went to the royal garden, and now he is the person with the highest official position in the household department.

This means that Zhao Yueyao's workload has almost doubled!

He was dressed in official clothes, propped his head on his hands, and listened to his subordinates' replies without love.

"Master Zhao, this is a brochure sent by the Ministry of Industry. They want the Ministry of Households to allocate funds."

Zhao Yueyao looked at it: "The Ministry of Industry wants to build ditches in Kyoto for farmers to irrigate their fields. This is very reasonable, let's allocate funds to them."

The subordinate's face turned bitter: "Here, Mr. Zhao, we didn't allocate the military salary for the military department a few days ago. If it is allocated to the Ministry of Industry, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."

Zhao Yueyao couldn't believe it: "What?! The household department doesn't even pay the military salary. Is this a joke?"

The subordinate was cautious: "It's either not to send it, or it's just delayed for a while. Recently, Zhao's tax revenue has been decreasing, and the Ministry of Households has no money at all. Nothing can be done, my lord."

Zhao Yueyao had a headache: "No way, it's such a big household department."

The subordinate smiled wryly: "It's all just looking glamorous, and it's all supported by taxes. Last year, the emperor wanted to build a star-picking platform and didn't have the money, so he made a big fuss. Many people died in the household department because of this matter."

A servant came over in a panic: "It's not good, it's not good, General Luo is here again!"

The subordinate panicked and said to Zhao Yueyao: "Master Zhao, let's go quickly, if something important is caught by Luo Yuan without hesitation, it will be miserable!"

Holding the pen, Zhao Yueyao looked dazed, watching the people from the household department pack up their things and leave as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

A thick-backed and bearded man walked in from the outside. He blocked the door like an iron tower, and he was not easy to provoke.

"What, you still want to hide? If you don't pay your military salary today, don't leave!"

The subordinate cried and said, "General Luo, there is no war at all in the Zhao country now. According to the traditional tradition, the military salary is so much."

With an angry look on Luo Yuan's face, he stepped forward in two steps, and slapped his big palm on the table in front of Zhao Yueyao.

The table made of mahogany trembled twice, and a crack slowly appeared in the middle.

"I don't care about it. With such a little military salary every year, you can't even eat enough, and you still want to raise soldiers? If you don't fight now, it doesn't mean that Zhao Guo is now in peace. There is no peace in the surrounding small countries, let alone nomads!"

The subordinate wiped the sweat from his forehead: "But our household department doesn't have that many silver taels."

After Luo Yuan said a few more words, he became more irritable, looking like he wanted to hit someone.

Zhao Yueyao said in time: "General Luo please stop, the household department is indeed in difficulty now, we as subordinates have no way to decide such a big matter."

Luo Yuan glanced at Zhao Yueyao twice: "No way? Your household department has been perfunctory to me for long enough. Let me tell you, no matter who you are, if you don't give me the military salary, I will burn your household department!"

"Come on, do it!"

After Luo Yuan finished speaking, more than [-] young men with torches walked in.

They stood up straight, with murderous looks in their eyes, they looked like they had been trained in the army and had seen blood.

Those in Hubu, who had never seen the big scene and had been with the documents all the time, were so frightened that their legs softened. They tried to run out, but they were blocked.

Zhao Yueyao forced a smile: "General Luo, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you for doing this?"

Luo Yuan broke into a bloodthirsty smile: "If I don't get the military salary, my people will starve to death. I don't care if I blame it or not?"

Zhao Yueyao has been Ah Piao for decades and has lived for more than [-] years. This is the first time he has seen such a madman.

Luo Yuan stepped back and walked out of the household department, his eyes were cold and emotionless: "Set fire, close the door."

"What should we do, Mr. Zhao, let's rush out!"

"Don't panic, they don't dare to burn. Isn't Luo Yuan afraid of offending the court? Offending the families of your colleagues?"

The person holding the torch lit the documents and flammable cloth towels in the hall, and someone poured candle oil on them, and the tongue of flame jumped high.

Someone desperately wanted to rush out, but was knocked to the ground, and could only bend down in pain.

An official was restrained and sat on the ground weakly: "We are all insignificant people in the family, or will we be reduced to this?"

When everyone heard it, there was a dead silence, and their faces were ashamed.Those true favored sons of heaven, rising stars who were given high hopes by the aristocratic family, have already followed the emperor to hunt!

Zhao Yueyao was also tied up, he really hated: "Luo Yuan, you are such a bastard!"

Luo Yuan looked at them coldly, without saying a word.

Their actions were quick, and all parts of the house were ignited, and soon a raging fire ignited, and thick black smoke floated out, which was very choking.

Zhao Yueyao didn't pay attention, he sucked in a few mouthfuls of thick smoke, and immediately choked him heart-piercingly. He bent down and felt that his lungs were about to explode. If he couldn't go out, he would be choked to death by the smoke before he could burn to death. .

"Help, help, General Luo, please let us go!"

Those people with the torches went out and closed all the doors in the main hall of the household department in unison, and some people sealed the doors with wooden strips.

Some people took off their clothes to put out the fire, but the fire continued undiminished and grew bigger.

Some people ignored the scorching temperature of the door, staggered to the door, and slammed on the door desperately, their palms were scalded and scarred, but they could only hear the sound of the flames whistling and the door being nailed by wooden strips.

Luo Yuan decided to burn them to death!

Zhao Yueyao was a little dazed. After the rope on his wrist was untied, he ran to the door: "Luo Yuan, do you think we can get military pay if we burn to death? Your Majesty will only think that you are cruel and uncontrollable, maybe you Your fate will be worse than ours, you are threatening the emperor!"

The young man holding the torch outside the door was a little worried: "General, they are all innocent people. Is it really okay for us to do this?"

Luo Yuan put his hands behind his back: "We have no retreat."

Zhao Yueyao couldn't hear anyone talking at all, he was anxious and flustered, and suddenly touched the iron plate on his chest, which was given to him by Luo Lin before he left.

He pushed the iron plate out from under the door: "General, General Luo, do you know Luo Lin? That's my cousin. The well-known Luo Family Firm in Zhao Kingdom is his!"

There was still no response from the outside, Zhao Yueyao was almost desperate, his throat was dry and hoarse, because the voice was too loud, and there was even a bit of fishy sweetness in his throat.

"This brand can mobilize all the working capital of Luojia Commercial Bank in Kyoto. It can be temporarily used to supplement military pay. We just ask the general to spare us!"

Zhao Yueyao coughed a few times, and his tears were choked out, is it still not enough?Is he going to die here?

Just when Zhao Yueyao was desperate, the door opened.

Luo Yuan held the plum-shaped sign in his hand: "Deal."

Zhao Yueyao was exhausted for the rest of his life after the catastrophe. He walked out of the burning room full of smoke.

The officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs supported each other as if they had been reborn, and they also wanted to walk out the door, but they were stopped.

Zhao Yueyao looked at Luo Yuan suspiciously: "General, please let them go, my colleagues can't take it anymore."

Luo Yuan remained expressionless: "This brand is for your life, not theirs."

A burning beam fell from above with a "bang", blocking the door and making the temperature in the room even hotter.

Zhao Yueyao was stunned, watching his colleagues in the fire scene crying and accepting their fate.
