Chapter 20: Yay! The old emperor rewarded me with 300,000 coins! (2 / 2)
Xu Yanmiao brought the Ministry of War Official to his home, intending to treat him to hotpot.
But the further they went, the more off-track they got.
The Ministry of War Official pretended to be terrified. “Xu Lang! What are you doing? Attacking an official is illegal!”
Xu Yanmiao rolled his eyes at him and pointed to the side. “Look, we’ve arrived.”
The official looked over and was shocked. “Is this your residence?”
How could it be so shabby and rundown?
“Yeah, the real estate in the capital is expensive, every inch of land is gold, so the rent isn’t cheap. I just rented this place.”
Xu Yanmiao stepped over some low-lying sewage, unlocked the door, and pushed it open. “But don’t worry, I’ve saved up quite a bit for the meat, so we’ll have a hearty hotpot meal today.”
The Ministry of War official carefully stepped inside, trying to walk lightly. The floorboards creaked with every step. Upon closer inspection, the boards were crooked with many gaps, some propped up with small wooden sticks, either horizontally or diagonally.
