Chapter Checks and Balances

Tian Fen said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Nan Qianhu guards the temple gate and performs his duties diligently and meticulously. Although the common people had some complaints, no one dared to refute them. However, by some strange combination of circumstances, a scholar scolded Nan Qianhu, Nan Qianhu is a bitch."

When it got too strong, he gave the scholar a good beating. The scholar passed out without being beaten. Because of this, the common people started to riot."

Kang Shanzhen's eyebrows trembled slightly, he looked at Nan Batian with a cold face, and asked: "Did Tian Fen wrongly accuse you?"

"No...no! But...but..." Although Nan Batian always felt that Tian Fen's words meant to belittle him, he did not find any fault.

Kang Shanzhen snorted and nodded to Tian Fen, indicating for him to continue speaking.

Tian Fen secretly laughed in his heart and said seriously: "The common people are so stupid that they do not understand the great efforts and achievements of the Lord. Instead, they misunderstand that the Lord's official authority is too great and overbearing. Because a scholar fell into a coma first, the common people were excited. One thing is that

The momentum of development."

"Although the black-clothed guards are strong and orderly and have no fear of these common people causing trouble, the general feels that you love the people as your own children. If you rashly use force against the common people, wouldn't it be against your original intention?"

When Nan Batian heard this, he also forgot about the pretense of crying and froze there, with heavy snot flowing to his lips, but he was also at a loss.

He really didn't expect that Tian Fen Liuxu's flattering skills would be as superb as his martial arts. At the same time, he had a vague premonition that something was not good: This kid is so talkative, I'm afraid I will be unlucky again...

Kang Shanzhen was very satisfied with Tian Fen's words of "loving the people like a son", and at the same time he also vaguely understood Tian Fen's real intention: "I love the people like a son", it is clearly to safeguard my reputation, and I am afraid of the abuse of force and bring harm to the people.

A curse was left in my heart.

Kang Shanzhen figured out this relationship, couldn't help but smile, and his tone became softer, "Tian Fen, stand up and speak!"

Tian Fen felt proud, and stood up and said: "The people don't understand the difficulties of the Lord, and they are noisy. At this critical moment, there is nothing to do, so I can only explain to the Lord that you love the people like your sons. In fact, you really want to worship the Buddha with the people, but Mr. Nanda

You blocked the door without permission to prevent the people from entering. The people understood this meaning, and while expressing gratitude for your kindness, they happily poured into the Kek Lok Temple."

"Hey...it's just that the last general was reckless, slow to react, and couldn't come up with any good ideas. Not only did he let the people disturb the Lord's Qing Xiu, but he also wronged Nan Qianhu's heart. The last general is guilty!"

Tian Fen sighed heavily and knelt down again.

Kang Shanzhen laughed heartily, helped Tian Fen up, and said: "Tian Fen, Tian Fen, you are not only very skilled, but you can also deeply understand my heart of loving the people like my sons. You are indeed one of my brave generals. I

I must reward you heavily, um...a reward of fifty taels!"

"Thank you, Sir!" Tian Fen smiled broadly in his heart and hurriedly saluted, reaching out to take the gold that was brought over.

Kang Shanzhen stared at Tian Fen and said seriously: "From now on, you are my confidant!"

Tian Fen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt on his knees and said, "Sir, from now on Tian Fen's life is yours. Whatever you tell Tian Fen to do, Tian Fen will never complain."

He fully understands the true meaning of the word "confidant", which means that from now on, he will stand on the same starting line as Nan Batian, the guy who bears the title of Kang Shanzhen's godson.

This is really great news. What does fifty taels of gold mean compared to the word "confidant"?

At the same time, I secretly sighed in my heart: This Shi Yue is really my super lucky star.

Nan Batian was stunned for a moment. How could he have imagined that Tian Fen, a boy who was beaten unexpectedly, not only was not punished, but was actually promoted to a confidant? What the hell is going on?

"Father, Tian Fen disobeyed your orders..."

"Presumptuous!" Kang Shanzhen simply interrupted Nan Batian's slander and snorted: "Tian Fen was calm in the face of danger, handled it properly, and made great achievements. What else do you have to complain about?"

"Is it because you took the blame for me and you have resentment in your heart?"

Nan Batian was startled, and knelt down with a plop, and said with trepidation: "Father...you know I don't have that kind of intention. I am devoted to you, and I will never dare to disobey you in the slightest."

When Kang Shanzhen saw Nan Batian kneeling on the ground in fright, he suddenly burst out laughing again, raised his foot and kicked him on the butt, and then said with a straight face: "You worthless thing, just get up for me! Look!

For your selfless efforts to protect me, I will also reward you with fifty taels of gold."

Nan Batian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt relieved after being kicked by Kang Shanzhen.

Kang Shanzhen warned sternly: "You are my right-hand man and my own people. You must live in harmony in the future and don't get into such a quarrel."

Tian Fen and Nan Batian hurriedly bowed to answer. Their eyes looked at each other, with hidden sparks of tit-for-tat.

Kang Shanzhen clearly saw the hostility in the eyes of the two people, and was subconsciously happy in his heart: If his subordinates didn't get along, they would rely more on his towering tree.

He waved his sleeves and said with emotion: "Now we should go and express our gratitude to our parents..."

Shi Yue got his wish and became a black-clad guard. Although he was only the lowest captain, he believed that with the excellent impression he showed to Tian Fen, he would get a chance to be promoted soon.

Tian Fen's personal guard is named Wang Qinian, and he has a gentle look on his face!

He led Shi Yue to the Black Guards' home base, the Zhenfu Division, to report and sign for custody. However, Wang Qinian was dumbfounded. Shi Yue had no household registration, so he was considered a "blind stream" and could not be included in the roster.

But Shi Yue was told by Tian Fen personally, so this matter must be done well!

Wang Qinian led Shi Yue to the Ministry of Household Affairs again! To put it bluntly, the ancient Ministry of Household Affairs is now the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Transportation, and the Ministry of Construction.

Wang Qinian found the official of the Ministry of Household Affairs who was responsible for civil affairs, then brought up Tian Fen's name, tried to show off his power, and then told him about Shi Yue's "blind flow".

Although this matter is against the rules, who dares not to accept it because of Tian Fen’s reputation?

The official happily completed the household registration for Shi Yue. At this point, in the Great Yan Dynasty, Shi Yue finally had a household registration book.

Wang Qinian went straight back to the Zhenfu Division and asked Shi Yue: "Brother, which banner do you want to be assigned to?"

Shi Yue said: "Brother Wang, it's up to you, but let's close the door and not talk about the two families. Of course, the faster you get promoted and the more money you make, the better." There was still a greedy smile on his face.

"Brothers don't hide their secrets from me. I like it very much. Isn't the purpose of being a black guard just to get promoted and get rich?" Wang Qinian admired Shi Yue's straightforward statement. There was no such thing as empty-headed allegiance.
