Chapter 260: Oppressing the People

Zhao Chengshou's words made Shen Baiqing frown, and guessed in his heart that it was one thing, and it felt different when Zhao Chengshou said this.

Zhao Chengshou noticed the change in Shen Baiqing's expression, and for a while he didn't know what he should say or do, as if he didn't say anything right, and what he did was wrong, this feeling was so strange.

Zhao Chengshou didn't stay by Shen Baiqing's side all the time, and when it was too early, He Lian proposed to ask Shen Baiqing to return home, but Shen Baiqing proposed to live in the people's homes.

There happened to be a family where the old woman and her granddaughter lived together, Shen Baiqing took He Lian to live in the old woman's house, Shen Baiqing ordered someone to send a lot of food, the old woman was very grateful, and the children were very happy to eat.

After eating, Shen Baiqing had no intention of resting, but chatted with the old woman.

"Mother-in-law, how many years have you lived in Yanzhou?"

Seeing Shen Baiqing asking, the old woman answered truthfully.

"Mrs. Hou, grass people......"

"Mother-in-law should not be like this, this is in private, and you don't have to pay attention to so many courtesies."

The old woman didn't expect Mrs. Hou to be so polite, so the old woman also smiled.

"I have lived in Yanzhou since I was a child, and I have been living in Yanzhou for more than 40 years."

Hearing this, Shen Baiqing looked stunned, when she came to live here, she noticed that the house in this house was not very good, and it was in disrepair, especially looking at the clothes of her mother-in-law and children, she knew that their life was not very good.

Thinking of this, Shen Baiqing asked.

"Mother-in-law, can you tell me, for so many years, why can't the people of Yanzhou live a good life?"

Shen Baiqing knew that she asked this question, and the old woman would answer that it would be difficult, but this was something she had always wanted to know.

She and Su Bowen came to Yanzhou in the hope that the people of Yanzhou could live a good life, if not, then there would be no point in them coming to Yanzhou.

When the old woman saw Mrs. Hou asking about this, she looked hesitant, and Shen Baiqing persuaded.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I've ordered someone to protect the safety of this place behind my back, I don't think anyone will hear the conversation between you and me, just say anything, don't have so many worries."

Seeing Shen Baiqing like this, the old woman thought about it and finally chose to confide.

"Mrs. Hou, don't you know, this Yanzhou has become what it is today, it is all those businessmen, they have done a lot of unconscionable things in Yanzhou, otherwise Yanzhou would not have become what it is now!

And that Zhao Chengshou, it's not a good thing, he has been oppressing the people for so many years, and the people can be said to be suffering!

If it weren't for Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou coming to Yanzhou City, I'm afraid that the life of the people would be even worse! ”

Hearing this, Shen Baiqing's face was extremely ugly, and sure enough, Yanzhou City was not so clean.

She had just guessed about these things before, but now she was sure that Yanzhou was too chaotic.

"Then since Yanzhou is like this, why haven't you thought about using some means? For example, go to the capital to report to the official? ”

It's good that Shen Baiqing didn't say this, but as soon as she finished saying this, the old woman cried.

"Mrs. Hou, my son was beaten to death by Zhao Cheng's guards because he was going to the capital to report to the official!"

Shen Baiqing's face was completely ugly, she really didn't expect Zhao Chengshou to be able to do such a thing, this is really too deceitful!

"Mother-in-law, can you give me a list, Yanzhou officials and businessmen, those who have done bad things and bullied the common people, you give me this list, and I will definitely solve the affairs of Yanzhou with my husband."

The old woman didn't expect Mrs. Hou to be so talkative, and she was grateful.

"Okay, okay, the old woman said, you write."

"He Lian."

"Yes."

He Lian naturally knew what Shen Baiqing meant, and the old woman dictated there, and He Lian wrote all the words that her mother-in-law said on paper.

career, Shen Baiqing didn't sleep well in the house at all, and He Lian on the side was by Shen Baiqing's side, she knew that Shen Baiqing was upset because of what the mother-in-law said today.

"Madame, but you're upset by all that bad stuff?"

"He Lian, when do you think Yanzhou City will become as good as we think?"

"Madam, He Lian knows Madame's intentions, but there are not many places in this world that can be as stable as the border city.

The lives of the people are hard, this is certain, and there is no way to change it. ”

"But I can't just watch the people go through this and I can't do anything about it, that's not right, is it?"

Shen Baiqing didn't feel like she was drilling the horns, she just didn't want to do something she regretted, that's all.

Seeing that her wife was like this, He Lian on the side did not persuade her again, she was able to stay by Shen Baiqing's side to protect Shen Baiqing without distractions, and she was most likely infected by Shen Baiqing's sincere words.

Not everyone can think about the people wholeheartedly, but Shen Baiqing really thinks about the people in everything he does, and this kind of Shen Baiqing is admirable.

The next day, Shen Baiqing left with He Lian, and ordered her subordinates to protect the old woman's home, she didn't want to cause irreparable consequences because she stayed in the old woman's house for one night.

Back in the house, Su Bowen was reading a book, and when he saw Shen Baiqing returning, his face was not very good, Su Bowen suddenly understood and asked.

"It seems that this time I went to the outskirts of the city, and Madame gained a lot."

Su Bowen could see that Shen Baiqing was angry, so it can be seen that Shen Baiqing must have really known something on the outskirts of the city, otherwise Shen Baiqing would not have behaved like this.

Hearing this, Shen Baiqing looked at Su Bowen, and her tone was full of displeasure.

"Husband, do you know how this Zhao Chengshou has been bullying the people in Yanzhou City?

What we see on the surface is actually deceived by him! ”

Thinking of this, Shen Baiqing's emotions were very excited, and Su Bowen saw this and hurriedly comforted her.

"I've known a little bit about this from the beginning, but I haven't looked into it closely."

Su Bowen has always been clear, even if he is suspicious of these things, from the beginning, he is also cautious in dealing with these things.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Baiqing's eyes, and then he understood what his husband meant, thinking about it, his husband has always been a person who knows very well what to do and what not to do, and he must know about it.

"So what are we going to do next?"

Since Su Bowen has taken these things to heart, that is to say, Su Bowen must have thought of a way, but obviously Su Bowen does not intend to express his thoughts.

Seeing Shen Baiqing asking himself, Su Bowen's eyes were dark and uncertain, and he said.

"Zhao Cheng guards us for the time being, and now our foundation in Yanzhou City is not very strong, but we can start with those merchants."

As soon as Su Bowen's words came out, Shen Baiqing's eyes lit up, and I have to say that the two of them thought of it together.
