Chapter 40: Ministry of Revenue
"Something happened?" Xu Hao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

After just a few days of peace, something happened again?

But please don’t make it a big deal!

But Xu Hao soon calmed down, because the chance divination did not show any information, which meant that even if the incident he encountered was dangerous, the risk should not be great and would not reach the level of danger.

Just as Xu Hao understood the core cause and effect of the matter, Xu Qianzhi had already spoken, "I paid the fine earlier, but the Ministry of Revenue said that we were endangering the market in the capital, and they need to confiscate our goods and continue to punish us!"

"Ministry of Revenue?" Xu Hao frowned. "Isn't this clearly trying to embarrass us?"

"Yes, I tried to get in touch with him, but I couldn't get a say!" Xu Qianzhi sighed, then looked at Xu Hao and asked, "I heard that Jia Gui, the legitimate son of the head of the Ministry of Revenue, is serving in your palace guards. Do you have any channels to communicate with him? We can use this relationship to our advantage!"

He sent Xu Hao to the palace as a guard in order to expand his network.

Now that they are facing persecution, they need to find the corresponding connections. Fortunately, their Xu family now has this channel.

"Jia Gui?" Xu Hao grinned.

This is the original owner's 'rival in love'!

Moreover, Jia Gui's father is the head of the Ministry of Revenue, so perhaps Jia Gui was involved in the suppression of the Xu family.

Now think about it, why did Jia Gui need to change shifts when the White Lotus attacked the palace?
It was so good just now, but the original owner became a disaster for Jia Gui?

Soon after, the Xu family burned their resources, exposing the hidden leader of the White Lotus Sect, and then officials came to suppress the Xu family.

This series of events is too coincidental.

What if these are not coincidences?
That means he must have been a minister hidden in the court, and he is likely from the Ministry of Revenue.

If I go to Jia Gui now, not only will I feel uncomfortable doing so, but external conditions will not allow it either. Wouldn't that be giving the other party a handle on myself?
"Do you know him?" Xu Qianzhi heard Xu Hao's words. He knew Xu Hao and Jia Gui were very familiar with each other, so the frown on his face dissipated a lot at this moment.

"I know him, but we have no relationship, and there may even be a gap between us!" Xu Hao said calmly.

"Ah, what should we do?" Xu Qianzhi panicked when he heard Xu Hao's words.

Originally, the Ministry of Revenue intended to suppress the Xu family. If Xu Hao had any rift with the eldest son of the head of the Ministry of Revenue, then once the other party took advantage of the situation, wouldn't the Xu family be in a desperate situation?
"Don't worry, as long as we don't break the law, they can't do anything to my Xu family!" After Xu Hao said that, he took out his badge and placed it on the desk in the hall.

"What is this?" Xu Qianzhi looked at the badge on the table, his pupils shrinking. "General Flag, is this the General Flag of the Imperial Guard?"

Xu Qianzhi was overjoyed.

The current imperial palace guards belong to the Pacification Division, and the Imperial Guards General Flag is an official in the system of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Since the Xu family has officials, the suppression of a small official in the Ministry of Revenue can be simply ignored.

"That's great, that's great!" Xu Qianzhi couldn't help but walk over quickly and hold Xu Hao's hands tightly.

A dilemma targeting the Xu family that left him at a loss was resolved so easily.

Xu Qianzhi sent Xu Hao to the imperial palace guards for training.

At that time, he just wanted to change Xu Hao's character through the rules of the imperial guards and make him less of a spendthrift. Unexpectedly, Xu Hao actually thrived in the imperial guards.

Now they have all become general flag bearers and officials!

Although it is unknown how Xu Hao, who has mediocre qualifications, became the chief flag of the Imperial Guard, this waist badge cannot be fake, as it has the unique pattern markings of the Pacification Division on it.

Now it seems that spending a huge amount of money to send Xu Hao to the Imperial Guard was the most perfect and important decision in his life. The army can really train people!
Since it was such a small matter and the crisis was resolved, Xu Hao stood up and said, "Well, if father has nothing else to say, then I will go back and rest!"

"Go ahead, don't get tired!" Xu Qianzhi said with a smile on his face.

The more he looked at Xu Hao, the more he liked him. He no longer had the angry and regretful look he had in the past.

Xu Hao did not stop. He returned to his room and continued to practice the Wumen Qi-gathering technique, while wielding the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Sword.

It was not until late at night that Xu Hao felt a little sleepy.

After washing up, Xu Hao lay back on the soft bed, quietly waiting to go to the palace to guard the palace tomorrow.

Both strength and status have been improved, so tomorrow's opportunities will definitely be good.

Xu Hao closed his eyes and went to sleep.

At the same time, in a courtyard in the northwest of the capital of the Daxuan Dynasty, there was a sign saying Jia Mansion.

At this moment, Jia Gui was sitting motionless in the hall, holding an order from the Pacification Office in his hand. His expression was ferocious, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Because there was a transfer order written above, he would be transferred to serve under Xu Hao.

The moment Jia Gui received the transfer order, he carefully checked the two words behind the general flag. After confirming that it was Xu Hao, he felt like the sky was falling.

"How could it be him? How could he become the general flag?" Jia Gui felt unhappy when he thought of Xu Hao who followed Wu Yanyan like a dog.

He once looked down upon her and was her scapegoat, but after surviving the White Lotus Sect, she actually made a comeback.

how so!
He was able to rise to prominence even without any opportunity, and even became his immediate superior.

He really didn't understand why the Pacification Office would fall for a pretty boy with mediocre qualifications.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry? Tell daddy!" When Jia Gui was pondering the injustice of the world, a middle-aged figure walked in from outside the hall. Seeing the distraught Jia Gui, he couldn't help but ask with concern.

He is currently a director of the Ministry of Revenue. Don't underestimate him as just a small official, because the power he holds is enormous.

Any government decree, with a slight change in meaning, can coerce many merchants into giving money voluntarily.

In addition, the Great Xuan Dynasty is now in turmoil, and he is making a living by relying on his position as the head of the government.

Today, he followed the instructions above, suppressed the Xu family, and took away thousands of taels of silver.

Jia Gui raised his head, looked at his father who had come in, and said fiercely, "You were just a piece of trash that I had stepped on, and now you're crawling on my head!"

"Oh? Who is it?" Jia Zhen showed a strange look.

He knew that his son had some talent. With his financial support, he was not the best among the imperial guards, but at least above average.

Moreover, Jia Gui is a flexible person and will not provoke those rich and powerful people. Since someone has been found, it means that he is someone whose family background can be crushed by him.

Now, there is a reversal.

Jia Gui said angrily, "It was the day when the White Lotus attacked the palace. You asked me to replace him, Xu Hao, the boy from the Xu family."

"Xu family, Xu Hao." Jia Zhen was startled when he heard it, then he remembered something and asked in surprise, "Is it him?"
