Kapitel 224: Street Assassination

Empress Changning carefully considered the essence of the matter.

He Chuan's question indeed had some deeper meaning. Why did the officials want to be officials?

It's difficult for them to support their families with just a little salary." He Chuan took a sip of the soup.
