Chapter 170: Robbery while the fire is on
"Go to Yuezhou!" The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, "Did she really say that?" ”
Wan Wan nodded and began to persuade again:
"Grandfather, I see that my cousin is really nervous and anxious, so I gave it to her, don't be angry."
She usually uses money from the public, and the late master never asks, this time because the amount is really large.
The late master glanced at his granddaughter angrily:
"You don't want people to come and ask me about such a big matter? Do you know how dangerous it is in Yuezhou? Your cousin carried so much money alone, and was robbed by those homeless people before she arrived in Yuezhou! ”
How terrible are the homeless?
Their caravans even went to the Western Regions, but they haven't been going to the state recently, why?
Of course, it's the inner homeless people!
"It's not that serious!" Although Wanguan knew that the homeless people were terrible, she felt that it should not be a big problem.
"Let me say hello!" The late master was so angry at this time that he hurriedly asked people to go to the Guozijian to ask for leave for Wanguan.
Master Wan was worried that Mu Qing would go to Yuezhou alone, so he immediately called Wan Yan back, and prepared 100,000 taels of silver tickets for Wan Yan to take to chase Mu Qing.
In addition, more than 20 guards were called to follow, and these more than 20 guards were all elites, and they had followed them through the Western Regions several times.
It also began to snow heavily in Beijing, and Wanyan did not delay, and rode a horse with people to chase Mu Qing.
Chen watched Wanyan disappear into the heavy snow, and his heart lifted:
"Yuezhou is so dangerous, why don't you just let Yan'er call Qing'er back?"
The old man glanced at her: "If I can call people back, I can still stand here, I will go by myself." ”
The late old man sighed, they were all the same stubborn!
That night, Wan Yan caught up with Mu Qing, and Mu Qing stayed directly when he saw Wan Yan.
“…… Grandfather is so worried, cousin, why don't you say hello when you go to Yuezhou, Yuezhou is in danger at this time. ”
Wanyan stopped riding a horse at this time, and went directly to the carriage with Mu Qing.
Mu Qing smiled a little embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "Isn't this afraid that my grandfather will worry?" ”
I'm even more afraid that the late master won't let her go to Yuezhou.
Wan Yan sighed, what else didn't she understand: "Grandfather like you is more worried." ”
Mu Qing also felt that he had done something wrong at this time, and he had to apologize to his grandfather when he went back.
The two of them hurried up, and finally arrived at Yuezhou City on the third day.
The prince has been recalled to Beijing at this time, and it is Bailichen who is in Yuezhou for disaster relief.
A porridge shack has been set up outside, and there are many people queuing up to ask for porridge.
I found an inn to live in, and after washing, Mu Qing went to ask about the situation.
After the prince left, Bai Lichen only took over for two days, because there were many displaced people, so they were temporarily placed in the temple outside the city, the Yushan Hall in the city, the porridge was also distributed, and the house was also under construction.
"It's not okay to go on like this......" Mu Qing looked at the crowded people in the temple, and his heart was sad.
Seeing her like this, Wan Yan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”
"You see, most of these people are sick, and it's easier to get contagious when huddled together."
At first glance, it was true, most people were coughing.
"But they don't have the money to see a doctor, and if we pay for them, it won't be cheap."
Wanyan is not a son-in-law who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, he knows how much it costs to treat these people.
Mu Qing quickly thought of a way: "It would be nice if I could say that the doctor in Yuezhou Cheng would give them free clinics, and there would be no need for too expensive medicinal materials, I think most of these people are colds caused by wind and cold." ”
Wanyan was a little speechless: "The doctor is not a fool. ”
I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money to treat these people, and even if the medicinal materials for free medical treatment are cheap, so many people will not be cheap together.
Mu Qing patted him and said in a low voice: "Cousin Yan, you are just not shameless enough!" ”
Late words: "......" what?
Mu Qing saw that there was no one around, and then said: "Of course these people are unwilling, you just go and fool around, this disaster relief is the imperial court in disaster relief, and the imperial court will remember their good after they are willing to contribute!" ”
Wanyan understood this time: "You want me to deceive people? ”
"What deceives people and doesn't deceive people!" Mu Qing was a little speechless, "I want you to know it with emotion and reason!" ”
As for whether the court can remember their good after this incident, that is another matter.
But if she had the chance, she would definitely mention it.
Late words: "......" is not still a lie?
Mu Qing chose Wanyan to talk about this because the Wanjia is in business, and a mouth can definitely say it, Wanyan has been exposed to it since childhood, and it shouldn't be bad.
Wan Yan sighed and promised Mu Qing to try it.
The two of them were talking, but Bai Lichen, who was not far away, squinted his eyes, why did he think that the woman in front of him was a little familiar?
Wan Yan left quickly, and Mu Qing was about to go to other places to take a look, but turned around, wait!
The guy in front of me is a little familiar......
"Mu Qing!"
"Bailichen!"
The two of them were stunned, Mu Qing didn't expect to meet Bailichen so soon, Bailichen didn't expect Mu Qing to come here.
"Why are you here?" Bai Lichen's voice was filled with anger, "Do you know how dangerous it is here?" ”
"I'm not stupid, can I not know?" Mu Qing replied angrily.
She holds a grudge, and she still remembers the previous hatred, hum!
Bai Lichen suppressed the anger in his heart: "I'll let someone send you back!" ”
"If you send me back, I can still come, you can't let people stare at me, I always have a chance to run out!" Mu Qing looked at Bai Lichen defiantly.
Bai Lichen choked, Mu Qing can do this!
Bai Lichen could only take a deep breath to calm himself down: "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'm here to see you, I'm afraid that your disaster relief will be unfavorable, and in the end it will affect me."
Mu Qing doesn't want to die, she still wants to live for two more years and make more money!
Can't you hope he's better? Bai Lichen accepted his fate and took Mu Qing back to the post house.
"Do you still have money for disaster relief?" Mu Qing's first sentence when he returned to the post house was to ask.
Bai Lichen was silent, and shook his head for a long time: "There are five thousand taels."
5,000 taels is not enough!
Mu Qing sighed and asked about the prince's disaster relief before, and Bai Lichen answered truthfully.
The crown prince is not a fool, and he certainly cannot be greedy for disaster relief money.
The thing is that the prince is lazy and trusts the officials too much, so he gives the money to the officials so that they can go to the disaster relief and eat, drink and have fun by themselves.
I didn't expect these officials to embezzle layer by layer, and there would be so much left in the hands of the people.
Mu Qing analyzed it and felt that the crown prince was too closely watched by the emperor in Beijing, and he let himself go all of a sudden, and no one controlled him.
Coupled with the fact that these officials blew rainbow farts on him, it made the prince fluttering, which would lead to this result.
The prince was recalled to Beijing, and the Yuezhou assassin was also recalled, and eighty percent was hopeless.
Other officials in Yuezhou only then knew that they had played Dafa, and these officials were punished one by one, and recently they were panicking and obediently providing disaster relief.
According to the emperor's character, he should recall all these officials, but there are not many people in the court who can be used, so this is just a confession.
"Then ......" Mu Qing smiled narrowly and said in a low voice:
"You said that these officials have been scared lately, should they take advantage of the fire to rob them...... Oh no, take the opportunity for them to do good deeds and forgive their sins? ”
Bai Lichen glanced at her and motioned for her to continue.
"You see, these officials must be so scared now, but the emperor only applied for them, and I don't know what to do afterwards, these people must be afraid of losing their heads afterwards, so we will ......"
Mu Qing and Bai Lichen talked for a long time, and they didn't finish until the evening.
It was snowing heavily outside, and Bailichen didn't delay, and asked people to inform the officials to have a meal tomorrow.
Wan Yan also had good results here, he said that he mobilized the two big medical halls in the city and asked them to go to the free clinic.
This was a good result, but when Wanyan came back, he sighed and felt that it was very immoral for him to do so.
Bai Lichen listened to it for a long time, and couldn't help but speak:
"Don't worry, cousin, after I go back, I will tell my father about their benevolence and righteousness, and the court will remember their goodness."
This matter is considered to be done, and the next day is to entertain the officials, although there is no money, but Mu Qing still gritted his teeth and took out a large amount of money to make the banquet well, after all, the stakes are very high!
Officials of all sizes in Yuezhou City came, talking in twos and threes.
As soon as Mu Qing came in, everyone was quiet.
Seeing that they didn't move, Xin'er reminded them, "This is our third princess." ”
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Get up, you don't need to be polite, it's hard for you to talk about it, the snow disaster in Yuezhou has bothered you." Mu Qing looked at their faces after speaking.
Sure enough, everyone was a little uncomfortable, and the few ones looked clear.
"It's not okay for this disaster in Yuezhou to be like this, the emperor is very dissatisfied with this matter, and Lord Assassin Shi is going to be beheaded." Mu Qing's eyebrows were filled with sorrow.
There has been no news since the assassin was recalled to Beijing, and Mu Qingyi said that the faces of these officials changed.
"Is it true?" An official stepped forward.
Mu Qing looked at him a little innocently: "For no reason, what am I doing to lie to all the adults?" ”
The officials talked one after another, and their faces were ugly.
"Just yesterday, His Royal Highness received a secret decree from the emperor, the emperor said that the snow disaster in Yuezhou was handled well, and this matter was picked up and put down gently, if it was not done well, not only would you suffer......
Mu Qing said and wiped the tears that didn't exist in the corners of his eyes, "My Royal Highness will also be punished by the emperor." ”
The officials talked louder, some believing and some not, and everyone had different expressions.
Mu Qing saw that most of them didn't believe it, so he took the secret decree from Xin'er and showed it to them.
The official hurriedly took it and looked at it, the words are the emperor's yes, the chapter is not wrong, and the content on it is also correct!
At this time, everyone's disbelief also turned into belief, they didn't expect this matter to be so big at first, and they didn't expect someone to beat the drum.
It's too late to say these things now, and the key is how to redeem them.
Everyone's eyes looked at Mu Qing: "The princess called us to ...... today."
What do you still don't understand now, eighty percent of them are Mu Qing, even if they are called by Bai Lichen, it is estimated that Bai Lichen will not show up today.
Mu Qing stabilized his emotions and showed a reluctant smile: "Naturally, I have to think of a way to tide over the difficulties together." ”
