3275: Prime Minister Chu and Martial Aunt

Prime Minister Chu and Martial Aunt

These two men were victims of the blood tax system.1

Feng Wu was curious. What did the exploited people of the Dongsang Kingdom think of the blood tax system?

In order to truly become a citizen of Dongsang, Feng Wu had to integrate with them and understand their thoughts and opinions. Therefore, she would try to learn more about them whenever she had the chance.

Feng Wu listened attentively to their conversation.

Lou asked Chow, "Have you thought about what you'll do after you leave the army?"

Chow was silent for a while and smiled bitterly. "Who knows? Anyway, we've saved up some money over the years. We can always buy a few acres of fertile land and live comfortably."

Lou said, "It's a pity that we're only 40 years old. There's still so much time after we retire. The money we've saved up is still not enough."

Chow smiled. "There will be enough if we don't spend too much."

Lou shook his head. "I really hope there's a windfall, and I can save enough money for the rest of my life."

Chow said, "Lou, you're too greedy. This won't do. You've always been like this…"

Chow wanted to go on, but Lou impatiently waved his hand. "Alright, alright. I know that. I'm only alive now because I can restrain myself. Otherwise, how can I work as Mr. Sakiya's doorman?"

Chow nodded.

Mr. Sakiya?

The doorman?

Feng Wu, keep a mental note of Lou's face.

"I heard Prime Minister Chu is coming here," said Lou.

As far as Feng Wu could remember, the Dongsang Kingdom only had a chancellor. Where did this Prime Minister Chu come from?

Who was he?

Feng Wu knew the chancellor and the prime minister could exist at the same time. They had different job descriptions.

The prime minister had a higher status than the chancellor. Moreover, there was only one prime minister of a country, but it could have two chancellors.

Chow said, "That's right. I heard Prime Minister Chu is coming, but I don't know when he'll arrive. We have to be careful so that he won't notice us. Otherwise, we might get killed if we make any mistakes."

Back then, one of the doormen had said something to Prime Minister Chu, and got his throat cut for it.

"Prime Minister Chu is Mr. Sakiya's teacher, and Mr. Sakiya respects him like a god. How can we offend him? Do you think anyone dares to call Prime Minister Chu by his full name, Chu Tianxiao?"

"Shut up!" Chow glared at Lou. "Do you want to die? How dare you call him by his name?!"

Lou was also frightened. He subconsciously looked around. Seeing that no one noticed this, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

Chow glared at him. "Have you forgotten how terrifying Prime Minister Chu is? If you don't want to live, don't drag me down with you!"

As he spoke, Chow picked up his hat, turned around, and left the restaurant in a hurry.

Feng Wu was a little surprised.

What did she just hear?

Prime Minister Chu was Chu Tianxiao, her third senior brother?

And her third senior brother was Mr. Sakiya's teacher?

Feng Wu was speechless.

Then what should Mr. Sakiya call her? Little Martial Aunt?

She imagined how Mr. Sakiya, the scholarly man with a calm temperament, would bow to her as a junior and respectfully address her as Martial Aunt…

Cough —

Feng Wu almost choked on her own saliva.

Lou was as startled as a bird right now. He threw a dirty look at Feng Wu and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Feng Wu was already sitting on the bench next to him.

"You —"
