Chapter 180: Ups and downs of emotions and voices
The next day, outside the Xianyang Palace.

Even though there was still at least half an hour before the court meeting began, some officials had already arrived here early.

A large group of people gathered together almost head to head, looking at the young man who was surrounded in the middle.

This person has gained some fame recently. He is the son of the Feng family, the leader of a distinguished and noble family, and the Imperial Censor and Secretary of the Central Secretariat Feng Jie.

In the past, Feng Jie was always wise and confident, and a group of officials from aristocratic families also closely united around Feng Jie.

As for Feng Jie, I can't say that he obeys his every word, but he will do whatever he tells him to do.

But today's situation is a little different.

This group of officials surrounded Feng Jie, no longer showing any of their previous obedience, but instead becoming more aggressive.

"Master Xiao Feng, are we just going to resign just like that?"

"Feng Jie, can you give me an explanation as to why we need to resign?"

"Feng Jie, please speak up. The positions we hold are both an honor and a guarantee for the continuation of our family. How can we give them up so easily?"

"We don't know what the death warriors are! What does that have to do with us? Why should we resign?"

"Feng Jie, I know you have good intentions, but have you been bullied? How can this assassin confess so easily?"

"."

Every word was like a sharp arrow, heading straight for Feng Jie.

Not only was there no more flattery and pandering from the past in his words, but there was a lot more complaints and anger.

After all, this time, Feng Jie strongly advocated letting many families bring out their most powerful warriors.

What I actually thought at that time was that even if the attack on the salt shop failed, it should not be difficult for those assassins to create chaos at the scene with their hands.

So if the chaos breaks out, with his skills, it should be no problem for him to escape, right?

In this way, the job is done and the trouble is avoided.

Even if the salt shop was not completely destroyed, the commotion had at least made Ying Yuan look bad.

This is more or less a success.

But who would have thought that Wang Jian, an old man who usually ignored others, would suddenly attack without any moral principles.

And his every move was as powerful as thunder and lightning.

Feng Jie was looking at his group of aggressive "colleagues" at this moment, his heart was already boiling with anger, but he still forced a smile on his face.

No way, I'm used to it.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to face it with a smile, Ole Gei!
To put it bluntly, it’s ultimately a matter of identity.

He is a young man who succeeded his father as the leader of a noble family. If he can't even remain calm in the face of praise or criticism and remain as unmoved as a mountain, then what's the point of talking?
Therefore, in order to prevent these already panicked people from losing their composure.

Feng Jie could only listen to everyone's complaints in silence while trying hard to keep smiling.

As for whether any of these people were recorded by him in a small notebook, that was a matter of opinion.

In fact, for Feng Jie.

In fact, he was not particularly happy about it. After being slightly threatened by the blind man, his people immediately began to surrender impatiently.

In his opinion, it's worth a try.

Give it a try, maybe the result will be even better?
But that’s not possible. Last night his father Feng Quji had already invited a group of noble families to his house to discuss the matter.

Although in the end Feng Quji used the prestige and credibility he had accumulated over the years to suppress the matter.

But in the end, it was settled.

It is precisely because of this that these individuals complain in front of Feng Jie.

It’s not for anything else, but mainly because they also know that they cannot resist what the family has decided.

"It seems that you all have opinions on this matter of resigning from office!" Feng Jie said this in a playful tone.

But it was precisely this kind of fun that made the officials from the aristocratic families, who were originally extremely anxious, see a ray of light in the darkness.

To put it bluntly, for the people present.

They already hold high positions in their families and control a large amount of resources. They would definitely prefer their families to become better and better.

In this era, the power of a family is determined by three things: power, weapons and wealth.

Once you have power, you can find ways to secretly get some private soldiers, death squads and the like.

Once you have power and weapons, wealth will come naturally.

Because he possesses these three things, he has become like a local tyrant in a certain place.

The land, minerals, and all kinds of food and crops produced from the land will all belong to them.

That is why these people are very clear about it.

How important is an official position, especially one that allows one to stand in the court?

What's more, there are factors such as personal honor and face involved.

So from both a public and private perspective, it would be strange for these people to be willing to give up.

Originally they had lost hope, and the commotion they made just now was both a last-ditch effort and a way to make the Feng family remember this favor.

One day, I will have to repay this favor.

But what I never expected was that it seemed that young Lord Feng did not agree with the rules set by Lord Feng.

Then this is interesting.

Could it be that there is another way to do this?

Feng Jie looked at the excited expressions of the crowd, his face expressionless, but he was rolling his eyes in disdain in his heart.

A bunch of brainless, visionless and ignorant idiots.

How did I end up hanging out with you guys?

If I hadn't been here, wouldn't you have been killed by that guy Ying Yuan?
Forget it, since you are still useful, I can give you a hand!

Thinking of this, Feng Jie spoke steadily.

"Everyone, in my opinion, this matter may make sense."

"After all, we don't know how much evidence Ying Yuan has in his hands that is unfavorable to us."

"But on the other hand, we don't have to be so anxious to resign from our hard-earned official positions."

"After all, resigning is easy. Just send a memorial to him and I'm afraid Ying Yuan will approve it on the spot."

"But if you want to get this position back, that will be a big problem."

When everyone heard this, they instantly became interested.

Wow, I didn't expect that you, Feng Jie, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually go against your father.

It has personality, I like it!
For a moment, all kinds of flattery, just like in the past few days, came rushing towards Feng Jie one after another.

"Master Feng, please be careful!"

"Master Feng, are we going to cover this up?"

"Lord Feng is worthy of being our leader. He will definitely find a way to save us!"

"As the son of the Feng family, you are the leader of the noble families like me. Lord Feng shoulders the responsibility of justice!"

"."
