I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times - #992 - Chapter 992 Blood Loss

Seeing everyone grinding their teeth secretly, Bai Xiaowu pretended not to notice and sat down calmly.

Thank you for your hospitality, and thank you all for your generosity. I was born in a poor family. In addition to drinking good tea in front of the officials, I also drink coarse tea in my own house on weekdays. Knowing my situation, the officials specially rewarded me with a lump of dragon and phoenix dumplings. , I have been cherishing it, but I haven’t had a chance to drink it yet.”

Listening to Xiao Wu’s tone, everyone twitched their mouths and felt extremely angry.

Damn it, they are so anxious that they are not here to listen to you show off.

Ahem~, Bai Hanlin is a close official, so he can naturally taste the good tea in the palace. If we want to drink good tea, we can only come to Jinqiu Tea House.

Yes, the tea has been brewed. I would like to invite Bai Hanlin to taste it.

Several people exchanged glances, tried hard to hold back their anger, and welcomed him warmly.

There was an undercurrent in the private room, and the atmosphere was a bit strange. Bai Xiaowu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then nodded.

“Good tea,”

Refreshment, how can we be less cautious when we have tea? Bai Hanlin will try this nine-layer cake again. The combination of the two will enhance the taste.

Bai Xiaowu followed the other person’s recommendation, pierced a piece of nine-layer cake with a bamboo skewer, ate it, and sighed with approval.

It’s indeed good. You adults have good taste, good tea, and a happy life. I can’t compare with you. I’m used to being poor. When I encounter something good suddenly, I sometimes feel reluctant to eat it.

Bai Hanlin is joking. If you like it, go back and ask the store to prepare a few copies to take back and taste slowly. Lord Bai is an official of the imperial court, how can you belittle yourself?

Why are you pretending to be poor? It didn’t matter before, but now he has become a favorite, and he has already been decorated with silk and satin.

I made all the ministers laugh. I have never seen many pastries before. When I was accompanying the Holy Master in the palace, if I could catch up with the pastries coming out of the pan, I would be able to follow them. I actually remembered the names of many pastries.

Everyone: …

The palace cakes are naturally the best in the world.

They can guarantee that this guy deliberately made them angry.

To rub salt into their wounds at such a young age is simply unforgivable.

Ahem~, Bai Hanlin, stop chatting. I’ll be here today. If I have anything to ask, please don’t hesitate to give me some advice. Don’t beat around the bush with this kind of person, or you’ll make yourself angry to death.

Yes, when things have reached this point, we won’t hide them anymore. After all, they are all old things. We have already blamed ourselves for the wrong things we did impulsively. I also hope that Bai Hanlin can give me some guidance. I will be grateful. Not enough.

Yeah yeah……

Seeing everyone’s pleading eyes, Bai Xiaowu shrugged his shoulders innocently, The official has read the list. I was present at the time. What do you want to know?

…We know that our behavior is inappropriate, and we would like to ask Bai Hanlin, what can we do to calm the officials?

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Bai Xiaowu with burning eyes, wanting to grab his shoulders and shake him desperately.

I can understand the mood of the ministers. After all, when the official saw the brochure, he threw it to the ground on the spot. I persuaded you for a while before calming down. I believe that acknowledging mistakes can greatly improve things.

Bai Xiaowu said, taking a sip of tea, his eyes narrowed, the entrance was slightly bitter, the aftertaste was sweet, these guys really spent their money.

After hearing this, several people looked at each other and their thoughts changed slightly.

Thank you very much Bai Hanlin for your kind words. I am really worried about making the officials angry because of my personal grudges. I dare to ask Bai Hanlin, how can I make the officials calm down? We also want to make up for it.

It’s hard to say this. To be honest, I feel that the two books on the secret door are really a trap. The accounts are huge… The imperial treasury is empty, and you actually use money to hire people to resolve personal grievances. It is really extravagant.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then their eyes widened suddenly. The officials wanted to expropriate their wealth?

How is this possible?

Looking at the expressions of several people, Xiao Wu sighed helplessly,

It is said that when the country is in trouble, every man is responsible. I heard that the imperial court still owes the border army a year’s military expenses. If anyone can relieve the government’s worries, I will definitely be very happy.

Everyone: …

Ask them to donate money?

Although I was born into a poor family, I am now a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. People say that eating the emperor’s salary will help relieve the emperor’s worries. I saw that the official family was troubled by military expenses, so I donated all my abundant money.

All donated?

So refreshing?

However, the officials are really worried about allocating military funds recently. If they can offset the merits, they should be able to make the officials proud, right?

Thinking of this, everyone’s hearts suddenly became lively. As for how to donate and how much to donate, they had to calculate it together.

All of you are from families with profound foundations, and everyone has a heart to be loyal to the country. As long as you are sincere, personal grudges will not be worth mentioning in the face of righteousness.

After saying this, Xiao Wu stood up and

It’s getting late. I’ll take my leave. You don’t need to see me off.

Watching Xiao Wu’s figure disappear at the door, several people pursed their lips silently and fell into an eerie silence for a while.

It took a while before someone broke the silence and sighed, So I’m just waiting here. That’s fine. Losing money to eliminate disaster is the only way out now.

How to donate? We have to make a careful calculation and don’t fall into someone’s trap.

Alas, the handle is in the hands of the officials, so we have no choice but to admit it.

That’s true. It’s better to shed some blood than to be questioned. In the final analysis, it’s all the fault of the gangsters at the secret door. They don’t have any sense of morality and they actually sided with us. If it weren’t for them, why would we have to face such a predicament?

Ahem~, it was Bai Hanlin who brought up the memorial for encircling and suppressing the secret door. Because he was attacked, he felt unhappy and directly complained to the officials, which is why he got to this point today.

Who is this blind person who attacked him? A newly appointed Hanlin bachelor…

As soon as he said this, the man stopped abruptly and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Bai Xiaowu ignored the discussion between the few people and just waited for them to pay for it.

Sure enough, on the third day of the imperial meeting,

The leader, Sinong Qing, reported that it was hard work for the border guards stationed at the border. In addition to dealing with extremely cold weather, they also had to defend themselves against foreign enemies at all times. How hard they worked and achieved great results. In order to allow the border guards to station at the border with peace of mind, he was willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver in his own name. To show your feelings.

After Sinongqing finished speaking, the Minister of Hubu followed him out of the queue.

Your Majesty, I would like to donate 80,000 taels.

I second the proposal, fifty thousand taels,

One hundred thousand taels,

Thirty thousand taels.

…

Listening to everyone rushing to donate, the eyes of others were widened in shock. What kind of operation is this?

Why didn’t anyone confide in him?

Looking at the several ministers who came out, Emperor Cheng Xuan felt extremely happy. He glanced at Bai Hanlin silently and cleared his throat.

I love your righteousness, and I am very pleased. It is a blessing to the court, a blessing to the people, and a comfort to the border troops to have such pillars in the imperial court. (End of this chapter)
