Chapter 110

The group of people in the study were all small officials and scribes.

But they also had commanderies and counties under their jurisdiction, more or less.

The current tax reform had a big impact on them, but it was still within an acceptable range.

Because their official positions were small, the benefits they could get from the nobles were naturally small.

Far less than those big officials; big officials managed more commanderies and counties, had more nobles, and naturally got more benefits.

And it was precisely because of this that the voice of resisting reform was louder.

"Brother Xiao, we also just came out from the gate of the house, could only comfort the family at the gate, and didn't even dare to enter the house."

"Afraid that once we go home, we won't be able to come out! As the head of the family, letting the family members be so worried, it really shouldn't be!"

"Right, seeing the worried look of the family members, my heart hurts!"

"But what else can we do? That is soldiers surrounding, they don't listen to us."

"Not to mention us, even Prime Minister Feng's residence was surrounded."

"In this way, if we don't complete the task given by the Ninth Prince in a month, will our home be executed?"

"Are you saying this is scaring people or for real?"

Everyone was somewhat worried, and suddenly felt that drinking tea was not fragrant.

Physician Xiao Ren, seeing that he had provoked everyone's emotions, revealed a smile of a successful scheme.

Afterwards, he let out a heavy sigh.

"Sigh, you don't know, my eighteen concubines saw the residence surrounded, and their eyes were all swollen from crying."

"It really hurts my heart! But our official positions are small, what else can we do?"

Everyone's emotions resonated at this moment, and they all thought of the annoying things at home.

At this moment, the people in the study, one after another, sighed.

Xiao Ren glanced at everyone, seeing their emotions were infected, and seeing the timing was about right.

"Colleagues, we must learn to save ourselves!"

Xiao Ren had a pained appearance, making people inevitably resonate.

"Being able to save ourselves is certainly the best; after all, our official positions are small, and if we continue to resist, the ones who die will certainly be us first."

"Right, if we continue to resist, the ones who will be executed will be us small officials."

"And those with slightly higher official positions shouldn't be executed; after all, the impact of this matter is too big."

"But how should we save ourselves?"

"Right, our official positions are small, and our power is small, we can't resist!"

Everyone discussed, but no one could come up with a good idea.

"I do have a good strategy here, but I don't know if you colleagues dare?"

Xiao Ren took a sip of tea, his face pretending to be somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh? Brother Xiao has a good strategy?"

"Brother Xiao might as well say it?"

"Right, let everyone discuss it together, okay?"

"Brother Xiao, just say it, we are listening attentively!"

The sighing crowd heard Physician Xiao Ren had a good strategy.

Their eyes all lit up, wanting to know how to save themselves.

The sorrowful atmosphere in the study was swept away.

"That is... well, you have to swear, even if you don't approve of this strategy, you can't betray me, only then will I dare to say."

"Otherwise, if you don't approve of this good strategy and go out to spread it everywhere, then my whole family will be in danger."

Xiao Ren didn't dare to talk nonsense; what if this group of people didn't dare to do it, and still spread it outside.

By then he would offend those high officials, and he would have to bear the consequences.

Everyone looked at each other and saw Xiao Ren's caution.

But this is understandable; after all, this is a major event concerning the lives of the whole family.

Even if they don't approve of this strategy, Xiao Ren is afraid they will spread it.

Asking them to swear a poisonous oath is also reasonable.

So a round of poisonous oaths began in the study.

In order to make Physician Xiao Ren believe they wouldn't spread it randomly. ===== CHAPTER 112 =====
