Strange World Survival Manual

In the palace hall, three people were sitting opposite each other.

These three people, two middle-aged men and one woman, were Wang Shiyan and her two uncles.

"Your Uncle Zhu was deprived of his official status because he was found to have embezzled military pay." The thin middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said.

Hearing his uncle's words, Wang Shiyan's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "How is that possible?"

She knew how poor her Uncle Zhu lived.

When I visited his home when I was a child, I always ate simple meals without any extravagance or waste. Her father also lamented that there are not many people as honest as Zhu Boxian anymore.

How could such a person embezzle military pay?

Seeing Wang Shiyan's shocked look, the middle-aged man with a beard smiled and said, "Last year, I was recalled to the capital. As soon as I returned, officials impeached me for embezzling military pay."

"I didn't take it seriously at the time because I, Uncle Zhu, had never done anything like this in my life."

Zhu Boxian's smile brought a trace of bitterness when he said this, and he said: "But who knew that there would be evidence that I had embezzled military pay. They even dug up a large amount of gold and silver in my house, as well as account books with my handwriting."

"With all the witnesses and material evidence, I had no way to refute and was captured directly. Originally, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to kill me, but because of my past military exploits, I was spared my life after all the officials begged for mercy. "

"But even so, I was stripped of my official status and demoted to a commoner."

Wang Shiyan was a little hesitant when he heard this. There were witnesses and physical evidence for this person, and even the handwriting was exactly the same. This was already an ironclad case.

She even had some doubts about whether her Uncle Zhu was really corrupt.

"What, Xiao Yan'er, do you think I'm corrupt too?" Seeing the hesitant look on Wang Shiyan's face, Zhu Boxian couldn't help but reveal a teasing look on his face.

Hearing what Uncle Zhu said first, Wang Shiyan suddenly understood that his family and Uncle Zhu's family were family friends. Even if he deceived others, he would not deceive himself and others. After all, even if he embezzled military pay, his family would tolerate him. .

Thinking of this, a firm look appeared in her eyes and she said seriously: "Uncle Zhu, I believe you, you are definitely not corrupt."

Seeing Wang Shiyan's appearance, Zhu Boxian couldn't help but feel a little more pleased in his eyes, and he laughed and said: "That's enough, that's enough."

Smiling, there were more tears in his eyes.

He lived in poverty all his life, managed the army with clear rewards and punishments, ate and lived with his subordinates, and set an example.

But now, the emperor he was loyal to wanted to kill him, and the generals under him hated him to the core because of the embezzlement of military pay.

His wife and children abandoned him and distanced themselves from him because of his bad reputation. The people he protected even spurned and despised him.

Now, he didn't expect to meet someone who could believe in him here, which moved him deeply.

At this time, the lean middle-aged man said with a smile: "Your Uncle Zhu has been staying at our house recently. Didn't you like the art of war very much in the past? Now that he has free time, you can always go and ask for advice."

"Really?" Hearing what his uncle said, Wang Shiyan's eyes immediately showed surprise and looked at Zhu Boxian.

Zhu Bo first looked at her looking at him expectantly, then nodded with a smile.

"By the way, who is the child you brought today?" At this time, the thin middle-aged man asked hesitantly.

Hearing the words of the thin middle-aged man, Wang Shiyan said: "That's a child we rescued in Jingning County."

"Jingning County." When Wang Shiyan said Jingning County, the lean middle-aged man frowned slightly, but he knew that Jingning County seemed to be suffering from drought in the past six months.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but asked with concern: "How is Jingning County now?"

"When we passed Jingning County, it started to rain." Wang Shiyan said.

Hearing what Wang Shiyan said, the lean middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."

Seeing his appearance, Wang Shiyan and Uncle Wang looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's just keep that child. We in the Wang family don't have many pairs of chopsticks." The thin middle-aged man sighed: "They are all miserable people."

And while they were chatting, Yan Ling and Wang Xiaorou were packing their luggage.

"Master, do you think Miss's uncle will be kind to Miss?" Wang Xiaorou asked hesitantly while packing her luggage.

Hearing what Wang Xiaorou said, Yan Ling quickly made a silent gesture, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one else.

He knocked Wang Xiaorou on the forehead with his knuckles and reprimanded in a deep voice: "In the future in the palace, you should not be as naughty as before, otherwise the young lady will be looked down upon by other servants, thinking that she is incapable of discipline. Do you understand?"

Hearing what her master said, Wang Xiaorou covered her forehead and nodded repeatedly, and then she asked hesitantly: "Then do you think my uncle will be good to her?"

Seeing that she was still like this, Yan Ling showed a helpless look, knowing that her apprentice was very curious, and if she didn't explain it clearly to her, she might not be able to sleep tonight.

So Yan Ling said: "The young lady's uncle is her biological uncle, so how can he treat the young lady badly? Not to mention that he has achieved his current achievements and has the help of the master."

Having said this, he paused and continued: "Not to mention, Miss's uncle has no children. He will treat Miss as his own daughter, so you don't need to worry about it."

Hearing what Yan Ling said, Wang Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone had been lifted from her heart.

But she immediately thought of something and asked doubtfully: "If that's the case, then why didn't the young lady's uncle take the young lady over before?"

"Because he has been working as a capital official in the capital and has been unable to escape." Yan Ling said with a smile: "Actually, he has always sent letters to express condolences on the lady's current situation."

Hearing what Yan Ling said, Wang Xiaorou nodded, and then asked curiously: "Why does he have time to come from the capital this time?"

"Because Wang Qian is the examiner of this Zetian County Autumn Examination," Yan Ling said.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Xiaorou's eyes widened, looking shocked.

"If you dare to yell, you will sleep in the stable for me today." Yan Ling saw Wang Xiaorou's shocked look and warned.

After being warned by Yan Ling, Wang Xiaorou suppressed the scream in her throat.

"By the way, I have something to do today and need to go out. You should pack up the remaining things." At this time, Yan Ling suddenly said.

Wang Xiaorou nodded, but felt a little strange. His master rarely came to Zetian Mansion, what else could happen?

After Yan Ling and Wang Xiaorou gave their orders, they walked out towards the back door.

After leaving the door, a look of confusion flashed across his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice: "What happened? Why can't I remember it?"

Then Yan Ling's eyes became more and more confused, and she walked towards the city gate, farther and farther away.
