Chapter 133: Daji’s Wickedness Creates the Scorpion Torture Pot
"Young master, you may not know, but in the past two days, the Emperor has posted decrees at the four city gates, ordering the citizens of the capital that each household must offer four snakes. It’s unclear what they’re to be used for."
Lv Zhu’er, standing beside, explained, not noticing that Nezha’s entire body had already stiffened.
Just then, Jiang Shang returned from Qintianjian after work, and there was a citizen asking, "Lord Jiang, do you know why the Great King wants the citizens to offer snakes?"
"Offering snakes? I only saw that decree this morning. Dammit, watching stars at Qintianjian all day long and not getting involved in others’ affairs, how would I know?"
Jiang Ziya flicked his sleeve, pushed open the door, and walked inside.
Only Nezha and the accountant knew why he was angry.
People always want more; when they have no money, they want to make money, when they have money, they want to become officials, and once they’re officials, they want to be officials who can get things done.
Jiang Ziya was just like this. When he was under the seat of Yuanshi Tianzun, he already felt his talents were unrecognized, and even more so when he was driven down the mountain. He always sought opportunities to showcase his talents.
Originally thinking that after becoming an official, he could make a significant impact, only to find himself watching stars all day long, dammit.
When drinking with the accountant, he would often say, His Majesty should have that General of Sanshan Pass removed, replace him with me, and the war would have been settled long ago.
