I was not far from the imperial city, and after dawn, I entered the imperial city with Haoyuan's token, and walked directly to the door of the general merchant of the Yan family in the imperial city of Diheng.

Lei Nian went to call the door, and a guy came to open the door with his eyes rubbed his eyes, and when he saw our battle after opening the door, he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

Explaining his intentions, the guy ran all the way to the mansion behind to ask for Yan Che.

Not long after, Yan Che came out in a light white dress, bowed his head to Lei Nian, and walked straight towards me.

Holding each other's hands with Yan Che, Yan Che looked at me deeply with a pair of smart big eyes and said, "Brother and sister, my brother"

I nodded, "Eldest sister also knows." ”

Yan Che looked solemn, led me into the business, and then entered the main hall of the mansion through the back door of the business.

After serving the tea, taking a sip, Yan Che said: "Last night, I received news from the people in the Chamber of Commerce from the important officials of the court, saying that my younger brother and children were arrested and put into the palace, and I informed the head of the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce. I know that you are in Diheng, and I want to look for you several times, but I have tried to look for you several times, but you have changed places again. I was going to look for you again today, but you came. ”

I didn't expect Yan Che to be so resolute and resolute, and he actually used the method of boycotting the market to demonstrate, I couldn't help but respect and said: "The eldest sister is tired this time. ”

Yan Che shook his head and said: "It should have been like this a long time ago, it's just that my brother and children were on the battlefield before, and I knew that this strike would inevitably shake the overall situation, and I knew a little about Haoyuan, and I knew that he wouldn't hurt my brother and my nieces and nephews." Unexpectedly, Hao Yu snatched his younger brother and children into the palace again, and he didn't know how Hao Yuan was bad, it was really useless. ”

It seems that Yan Che only roughly knows where Yan Yu and the children are, and she is not clear about the details of this.

I told you about Haoyuan's loss of the city, and the fact that Yanyu and the child were kidnapped by the shadow guards.

After thinking about it, he added: "When Ji Zhen went to Xuancang to snatch the child, he injured Brother Yan and several of my ministers. ”

Yan Che stood up and asked urgently, "Where is the injury?" Does it matter? ”

I swallowed hard and said: "Whipping is withdrawn, there are fifty or sixty lashes, I have seen it once, Brother Yan can still walk and talk, and King Xian also showed Brother Yan the injury, saying that as long as he raises it for a few months, he should be able to raise it." ”

"King Xian?" Yan Che was a little confused.

I said, "I can trust King Xian's medical skills. ”

Yan Che sighed and nodded slowly, but he angrily slapped the table next to him and said angrily: "Ji Zhen, this guy is used to bullying the people in Diheng, and he is extremely arrogant!" This time he dared to hurt my brother and take my nephew and niece as a hostage, and if he fell into my hands one day, I would definitely pay it back! ”

This is exactly what I thought in my heart, so I said: "What the eldest sister said is good, Ji Zhen must die." ”

When Yan Che heard this, he couldn't suppress his indignation and said: "Brother and sister, Xuancang Country is weak, and it is inevitable that it will be bullied by other countries. Having said that, as long as the eldest sister has a breath of air, she will never let that faint gentleman do anything wrong! This strike was the first time, and many businessmen in the Chamber of Commerce had connections in the Diheng Dynasty, and I discussed with them for a few days, and then went into the palace to see the faint monarch and reason with him! ”

I never doubt the status of the Yan family in the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce, and before Yan Che, Yan Yu is the young master of the Yan family, and the people in the Chamber of Commerce have very close and in-depth business contacts with the Yan family, and they will not watch the young master of the Yan family in prison and ignore it, if something happens to the Yan family, this chamber of commerce is afraid that it will also cut off countless financial routes.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and the current Chamber of Commerce and the Yan family are advancing and retreating together with the same enemy, which happens to show how much failure Haoyuan has done as the emperor, and how unpopular Haoyuan is.

"Brother and sister, what are your plans?" Yan Che was angry and then asked me worriedly.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Hao Yu caught Brother Yan and the child in the palace, just to force me to enter the palace, I naturally want to enter the palace immediately." ”

Yan Che then said even more worriedly: "I heard that you made a divine cult to quell the epidemic, and he forced you to enter the palace for this matter?" ”

I said: "It's more complicated, Haoyuan and Haoyuan are fighting fiercely, Haoyuan is in control of the government, so he wants me to help him quell the epidemic, but Haoyuan wants to calm the epidemic, which causes the people's resentment against Haoyuan, so as to suppress Haoyuan." ”

Yan Che was dumbfounded when he heard it, and said, "Sure enough, it's a faint king!" Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to enter the palace this time? ”

I laughed and said, "No matter how dangerous it is, I'm going to go." But now that I have the support of believers, and the power of the eldest sister to drive the imperial city to strike the market, I will pretend to be obedient after entering the palace, and delay it for a while. ”

Yan Che thought for a long time and said: "Even if the merchants enter the palace together, we are all businessmen after all, and we are not sure to deter Hao. ”

I said: "This is the reason why I came to find the eldest sister, eldest sister, I want to ask you to hurry up and find Haoyuan and invite him into the palace." As long as I can save my life and return to the palace in Haoyuan, I, Brother Yan and the children will have a way to live. ”

Yan Che immediately got up and said, "I'll go now." ”

I also got up and said to Yan Chefu: "Although Haoyuan will definitely come back when he gets the news, I'm afraid it will be a few days late for this news to spread." Ordinary people go to deliver the letter, but they are afraid that Haoyuan will be delayed, so they have to come to ask the eldest sister, and if the eldest sister Lao goes, please return to Haoyuan as soon as possible! ”

Yan Che came over and held my hand, patted me on the back of my hand and said, "Brother and sister, don't worry, this matter can't wait any longer, I'll go." ”

After speaking, Yan Che called the family mate to give a few words, and then returned to the door of the business with me.

Seeing that Yan Che rode away alone, I hurriedly ordered a few teams of soldiers to let them ride with them and protect them along the way.

Then, I stood in front of the shop and looked at the deserted street market in the early morning.

There was a restaurant not far away that was crowded, but a guy from the restaurant said: "Everyone disperse, our house has not been open for the past few days, and a notice is written on the bulletin board at the entrance of the market, you can go and see." ”

"Huh? Every morning, our old father has to eat your rice porridge buns, you don't do business anymore, where is the time to go home and cook now? ”

"That's right, my lady is pregnant, she can't eat anything but loves to eat your fried sugar cakes, how can you say that the door will be closed when it is closed?"

"Oh, I just saw that a few bun shops on the adjacent street are also closed, what's going on?"

A group of people waiting to buy breakfast were talking, but the shop was closed again.

My group led these people to look sideways, but after the excitement was over, this group of people still had to eat and live, and they looked back from time to time and we whispered to each other, and then slowly gathered at the entrance of the market.

Walk slowly to the bulletin board at the entrance of the street, and see a few big words on the entire bulletin board: the following shops, temporarily closed, when to resume, inform separately.

And behind these big characters, there are four bulletin board columns, densely packed

The first and second columns all start with the word "Yan".

In the third and fourth columns, merchants with various surnames, until the end, there is a big "omitted" wording.

We are here, although the people are surprised, they don't dare to say much, after all, I am behind the soldiers of Diheng.

After I ordered to enter the palace, there was a burst of exclamations from the people, and one of them said, "Isn't this the Supreme Goddess?" Oh, my family next door has an epidemic, said that he was cured by the goddess, yesterday I heard him describe the appearance of the goddess, it is so carved jade, not stained with vulgar dust like a fairy descending to earth! You see, she has a dragon embroidered around her waist? The goddess is the Empress Xuancang, it must be her! ”

This cry aroused the response of many people, and some even knelt down on the spot and began to chant the slogan of the Divine Cult that I had concocted.

The evil way of doing it really spreads quickly and results quickly. Very good, very good!
