Chapter 213 The Newly Appointed Minister of Personnel Who Always Wins at Gambling
The Eighth Princess couldn't help but grumble inwardly when she saw that this person's mind was full of thoughts about incense and incense.
Why don't they think about the dozens of lives lost because of him?
At first, she thought the governor was a grateful person, but now she thinks he's just so-so.
But people are always complicated.
The judge was arrested and couldn't be extricated, so he finally had to admit, "It's incurable, it's really incurable."
When Governor Xu heard this, the sky seemed to have fallen.
【Huh? It can't be cured? I seem to remember accidentally seeing a doctor treat someone similar before.】
Governor Xu felt he was in charge again.
Court ruling: ...
Sometimes, Shen Zhiyi's memory is too good, which isn't good either.
However, I remember that the medicine in that prescription was extremely expensive; with Governor Xu's monthly salary, he couldn't afford it.
Unless this guy starts embezzling, which is something we can afford to deal with.
Everyone realized it.
The head of the Imperial Medical Academy truly had good intentions.
Upon hearing this, Governor Xu knew that he could not possibly know the specific prescription.
The old emperor had always deeply abhorred corrupt officials.
He was very self-aware; if there was a way to cure his illness, he would do it even if it meant embezzling money.
For him, his descendants hold a different kind of obsession.
Knowing there was no hope, Governor Xu gradually vented his anger on his adopted sister.
After inspecting the canal, the old emperor and his entourage decided to take a boat to their next destination, Xuzhou.
Life on the ship must have been rather monotonous.
But with Shen Zhiyi, that's an exception.
She invited Chen Decai, Zhang Sheren, and the newly appointed Minister of Personnel to play Pai Gow.
As for why the newly appointed Minister of Personnel was chosen?
Because he was the one who agreed, and he was especially happy to agree.
[I've already made arrangements with the talented scholar and Zhang, and we'll team up to swindle money from stingy people.]
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel looked up at the person opposite him.
Chen Decai and Zhang Sheren closed their eyes.
My goodness, what are you plotting? Everyone knows what you're thinking.
I can see all their cards now, there's definitely no problem.
The system, which had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
[Host, this is unacceptable! You have absolutely no sportsmanship at the poker table!]
[Once you're at the card table, what's the point of having any spirit? People play this game either for entertainment or to get rich overnight. As for me, I want both entertainment and to get rich overnight.]
The system was speechless, so it simply blurred Shen Zhiyi's face.
Shen Zhiyi looked at her hand of cards, which were now in disarray in the wind.
"puff."
The old emperor couldn't help but chuckle in his room.
He said to the Minister of Works opposite him, "Someone is going to lose miserably."
The Minister of Works recalled unpleasant memories and silently mourned for Shen Zhiyi and the other two.
At the card table, no one could beat the newly appointed Minister of Personnel.
I heard that when that guy was poor, his way of making money was by going to gambling dens.
He's a gambler who always wins.
[Waaah, System, I was just kidding! I'm all about sportsmanship at the poker table!]
System: I don't believe it!
In the end, Shen Zhiyi lost two taels of silver, Zhang Sheren lost one tael of silver, and Chen Decai lost three taels of silver.
The three of them couldn't help but look at the newly appointed Minister of Personnel who was counting silver.
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel raised an eyebrow, turned his back, and continued counting the silver.
Chen Decai was on the verge of tears.
"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore."
Zhang Sheren was afraid that Shen Zhiyi would become more determined after being thwarted, so he quickly said, "Shen Lang, you can't win. The Minister of Personnel always wins when he gambles."
I don't believe it, this kid is definitely cheating!
Shen Zhiyi began frantically revisiting the events surrounding the newly appointed Minister of Personnel at the gambling den.
Good heavens, this guy's a gambling god!
【etc! 】
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath, and a lewd smile immediately appeared on his face.
Haha, this kid never expected to have this kind of experience at the gambling den.
The people who were busy with their own things on the boat quickly put themselves down and squeezed one by one outside the room, their ears pressed against the door.
The old emperor looked at the group of people and said irritably, "You can hear us even without us standing right next to you. Look at you all."
The Minister of Rites, Chen, chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, this is called having a sense of ceremony."
The old emperor thought about it carefully and found it made a lot of sense, so he also went over and pressed his ear against the door.
He enjoyed listening to Yan Chen's jokes.
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel paused as he counted the silver.
His mind was racing, replaying what had happened at the gambling den.
It doesn't seem like anything...
He was no longer certain about the distant memories.
[A stingy guy tries to show off at the gambling den.]
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel: This is a rumor! He never tries to show off.
[The gambling den owner's daughter fell head over heels in love at first sight, vowing to marry no one but him.]
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel gripped the silver in his hand, his hazy memory still as hazy as ever.
To be a little narcissistic, quite a few people want to marry him.
[The gambling den owner's daughter took a liking to him and wanted to have him, so she confessed her feelings to the newly appointed Minister of Personnel. Naturally, she was rejected without hesitation. Tsk tsk tsk, not even a polite refusal was acceptable; how hurtful!]
Chen Decai and Zhang Sheren looked at the newly appointed Minister of Personnel.
Everyone was very curious about how this guy refused.
Shen Zhiyi paused the surveillance footage at that point after seeing that sentence, and couldn't help but watch it repeatedly.
[This is hilarious! This stingy guy said he likes men, specifically the lower half, and scared the girl away.]
"puff."
Suppressed laughter echoed from outside the door.
Many people covered their mouths and quickly left the room, going to the deck of the ship where they burst into laughter.
"No, I never imagined that the Minister of Personnel would sacrifice so much."
There's a reason why this guy doesn't have a wife.
"Hey, Vice Minister of Revenue, you used to be colleagues with the Minister of Personnel. Does he prefer men or women?"
The Vice Minister of Revenue, who was smiling, immediately felt alarmed.
He said righteously, "Of course it's a woman. The Minister of Personnel's claim that he prefers men is just an excuse."
—Nonsense, if he didn't admit he likes women, his innocence would be in jeopardy.
At this moment, the newly appointed Minister of Personnel twitched his eye.
The distant memories have now become clear.
He only used that reason once.
There wasn't much more to say, so he simply stated that he hadn't become prime minister, and that his career came first, so he wouldn't start a family yet.
When others heard this reason, they didn't say anything to his face, but in their hearts they were all cursing him for being so delusional.
Wow, with that reason, I thought the girl was going to give up, but the other person didn't!!!
Shen Zhiyi continued watching with great interest.
The gambling den owner's daughter went home and was a bit depressed, but she was fine the next day after a good night's sleep. Now, just seeing that stingy guy's face makes her heart flutter, so she set herself a very ambitious goal.
Everyone's ears perked up: What?
She plans to "straighten out" the sexual orientation of the newly appointed Minister of Personnel.
