The next day, the Marquis of Yongning went to court with hundreds of officials, and happened to encounter a flood in the south of the Hubu Shangshu Qizuo, and many people were displaced.

Hearing this, Emperor Yuchen was about to be angry, many years ago there was a flood in the south, or King Qi and his wife went to deal with it, this time he decided to change someone to do it, the south floods, hunger and violence. It's a big deal to move.

"Yongning Hou, this flood in the south will be solved by you." Emperor Yuchen said lightly. In his opinion, this Sun Yaozu just picked up a Hou Ye for nothing, and the officials were not convinced at all, if he didn't take this opportunity to show his talent, then who would obey him.

This Sun Yaozu is also a hot-blooded man, and he will never back down when he encounters such a thing, so he agreed. "Your Majesty, the ministers must live up to their expectations and deal with the floods in the south."

"Okay, then it depends on how much money and food you need, and let the household support you." Emperor Yuchen said with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty." Sun Yaozu kowtowed deeply. He must seize this opportunity to show himself well, although everyone will call himself Yongning Hou on the surface, in fact, he knows very well that all the officials are talking about him with the help of the kindness of King Qi and Princess Qi, he must perform well, let the officials also see, he Sun Yaozu will definitely not discredit Yongning Hou.

The flood in the south was serious, Sun Yaozu took the soldiers and grain and grass to the south three days later, the flood was very serious, the flash flood knocked down a lot of trees, and also destroyed many houses, the people were displaced, under the pressure of hunger and cold, the violence. Movement is imminent.

As soon as Sun Yaozu entered the disaster area, he saw the resentful eyes of the victims, especially after seeing the grain, they all rushed up, and the officers and soldiers he brought could not suppress the hungry people by force, otherwise it would cause greater turmoil.

"Master Hou, these people robbed us of ten bags of grain together." An officer and soldier hurriedly reported to the police. This grain was to be distributed to the hungry, and of course, there were also their rations, and if some of them were taken away by these hungry people, then the other hungry people might not be able to get supplies from the imperial court.

"If you grab it, you can grab it. Ben Hou Ye is willing to pay out of his own pocket to buy some more. Sun Yaozu said disapprerovingly. In his opinion, the people were also so hungry that they would do this, and it might be even more excessive to give it to him.

"Master Hou, the price of rice today is very expensive, you can't afford it for ordinary people, even if you have gold and silver, you can't afford so many people." Officers and soldiers dissuaded.

This Yongning Hou is a good person, seeing the people suffering, he will also help out of his own pocket, and sometimes, he really has some righteousness. It's a pity that today's Sun family is not what it used to be, not only does today's Yongning Hou not have the prestige of the past, but also no

Yongning Hou's ability, it's just that Sun Yaozu has never understood it.

When Sun Yaozu walked to the rice shop with a stack of silver tickets, he found that his silver tickets could only buy ten loads of rice, and this kind of amount could not help but be in a hurry to be robbed by the hungry people.

"Boss, why is your rice so expensive? If you want to know my silver tickets, you can, buy your entire rice shop. And these rice of yours are still old rice, and old rice is not this price. ”

"Hehe, this uncle, you are right, I am indeed Chen rice, but unfortunately your silver ticket can only buy these old rice, if you want to eat the best silk miao rice, it is easy to say, you can eat it ten times more on these silver tickets."

"Hmph, you're trying to raise the market price, and Master Ben can cut off your head at any time, you know?" Sun Yaozu said coldly. No one else knows him, so he can only use his identity to scare people.

"Master Hou? Hou Ye is a fart, don't forget that this is a disaster area, driving up the market price? What about market price gouging? Now that the flood is severe, how many fertile fields have been flooded, there will be no harvest next year, if I don't increase the price now, then I will be the next person to live on the streets. Don't say that you are the Hou Ye, even if the emperor comes, the price of rice is the same as this price. The owner of the rice shop said loudly.

In this world, money is not omnipotent, money can buy power, but it can't buy prestige, Sun Yaozu has always believed that as long as money can settle things, everything is not a problem, but all along, he was wrong. Now he can't even deal with the boss of a rice shop, how can he deal with the difficulties of the civil and military officials above the court.

"Master Hou, what should I do with the ten bags of rice?" The officer and soldier asked softly.

"Take these silver tickets and go buy ten bags of old rice and come back." After finishing speaking, Sun Yaozu took out another stack of silver tickets from his arms. Now that he is really poor, he has money left, and he doesn't care what others think of him, as long as he can complete this thing smoothly.

Qi Wangfu.

"Husband, I cooked your favorite white fungus lotus seed soup, let's taste it." Ling Ruoxuan walked to King Qi with a bowl of freshly made white fungus soup and said.

"Do you need to talk about my lady's craftsmanship? The taste must be good. King Qi took the jade bowl in Ling Ruoxi's hand and said. Scooped a spoonful with a spoon and sent it to the mouth, Ling Ruoyi's stewed white fungus lotus seed soup is the most delicious, it melts in the mouth, and other restaurants can't eat it.

"I'll show you the letter." King Qi picked up a letter on the table and said. Ling Ruoxuan took the secret letter, opened it and looked at it, but he didn't expect the affairs in the south to be so troublesome.

"Husband, since you know that Sun Yaozu is in trouble in the south, are you trying to help him?"

"There are already too many people who have helped him, now it's time to let him go through the experience by himself, or how can he take on the title of Yongning Hou, and don't let people pull him off." King Qi said lightly.

King Qi's words are not wrong, Sun Yaozu was able to get the position of this Hou Ye, most of them are the credit of King Qi and his wife, in fact, his martial arts are not bad, if he didn't know that the Sun family was indeed wronged, and the matter involved the Ling family and the Xiahou family, she Ling Ruoyi would have nothing to do when she was full.

"So what are your husband's plans?" Ling Ruoyi said lightly.

"Let's take a look first, there are really things he can't settle, I'll deal with it."

"It's okay, then let's take a look, in the future, he will need to go by himself in this wind and waves, and ...... Maybe...... I will need him in the future. ”

"I wish I wouldn't need him for the rest of my life." King Qi drank the last sip of white fungus lotus seed soup and said.

Ling Ruoxuan took the empty bowl and said with a smile: "I also hope that this is the case, the matter of the flood in the south, I think you have to prepare well, I'm afraid, Sun Yaozu will not be so easy to deal with this matter." ”

"Then there's no way, who let this be owed to him by the Yun family and the Ling family." King Qi said with a ruffian smile. After finishing speaking, he pulled Ling Ruohui into his arms, and hugged him horizontally and let him sit on his lap.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, Lord Wang, it's not good...... Remnant Feng rushed in with the latest secret letter, and happened to see everything in front of him, "Uh......, uh...... Lord, princess, I didn't see anything. Remnant Wind said embarrassedly. It's really depressing, why is it him again, he has disturbed the good things of the prince, and he has suffered a lot.

"Didn't see that? So what do you want to see? King Qi raised his eyebrows and said.

"Didn't see it, didn't see anything." Remnant Feng hurriedly waved his hand. The young couple kissed me, and I naturally want to say that I didn't see it, but I want to tell my own prince, I have seen you and the princess? Isn't that death?

"I didn't see it, I went to fill all the water tanks in the yard, and besides, I went to chop firewood for three months." King Qi said coldly.

Hearing this, the remnant wind could only walk out with his head drooped, and in the courtyard he encountered thunder and lightning, and the two of them knew why he was depressed at a glance.

"Remnant wind, you kid, you always get into trouble when you have nothing to do, you can't have a long heart, I don't know if the princess sent white fungus lotus seed soup to the prince?" Lei Ming quipped.

"you, just look at the joke, are you two brothers? It's a good brother who helps me complete the tasks of carrying water and chopping wood. Remnant Wind smirked and threatened.

"Okay, okay, who made us brothers, anyway, do you want us to chop wood or carry water?" Chase Electric said with a smile.

"Yes, good brother." Lei Ming also said with a smile. Immediately, the three men walked towards the backyard talking and laughing.

Ten days later, there was a great hunger in the south. moved, Sun Yaozu really didn't suppress these things. On the same day, the household department and the official department participated in Sun Yaozu's book at the same time in the court.

Emperor Yuchen was furious, and ordered King Rui to go to the southern flood as a minister, firstly to deal with the southern flood, and secondly, to escort Sun Yaozu back to Beijing to punish the crime after the flood was dealt with.

When King Qi and his wife heard that, although they wanted to help, before they could speak, Emperor Yuchen had already spoken out to stop them, under the pretext that Chen'er was still young and needed to be taken care of by her parents, and Chen'er, as a prince, could not be suspected casually. King Qi could only let his secret guards continue to observe and report back in time for a while.

When King Rui arrived at the flooded town in the south, it was already full of mourning, and the smell of corpses everywhere made him frown.

The official post station became the temporary residence of King Rui. "Weichen see His Royal Highness King Rui, His Royal Highness Jin An." The post man saluted respectfully.

"Well, get up, you go and call Sun Yaozu." Rui Wang said coldly.

Hearing this, Yi Cheng had no choice but to nod his head and walk towards the room where Sun Yaozu lived, Sun Yaozu was the Hou Ye, and the Rui King was the prince, the son of the former emperor, the official position, and the family were much higher than him, so naturally there was no need to be polite to him.

After a while, Sun Yaozu stepped down to the second floor, saw King Rui sitting at the table drinking tea, put on a smile, and walked downstairs. "The prince's tea leaves are so fragrant, it seems that I have smelled such a tea fragrance somewhere." Sun Yaozu smiled lightly. This tea has a light aroma, and when you smell it, you will know that this is not an ordinary tea.

King Rui didn't have the heart to talk to him, the purpose of his coming today was to escort this guy back to Beijing to deal with the flood.

"Sun Yaozu, are you guilty?" Rui Wang said coldly.

"I don't know, please remind the prince." Sun Yaozu said lightly. Although he disdains to be friends with King Rui, he can't help but walk around the scene. But who knew that this wise king was so arrogant, and he actually treated him like an interrogator.

"I don't know? Good, good. Sun Yaozu, on your way to the south to deal with the floods, you encountered hungry people looting grain and grass, but is there such a thing? ”

"Yes, with this incident, the lower officials are really pitiful to them, so they didn't send someone to catch them back, but I paid for all the grain and grass out of my own pocket, and distributed it to the people."

"Hmph, look at them pitiful? You also pay out of your own pocket to buy rice for them to eat, what a big joke, you hire people to pretend to be hungry people to rob grain and grass, and then pretend to buy a few bags of old rice to fill the number, will you believe you as the king? ”

"Believe it or not, it's all up to you, it's not that I say I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong, I need your approval." Sun Yaozu said loudly.

"Don't tell me nonsense that there is something wrong or not, the emperor has an order that I will escort you back to Beijing, so you can stay in the cell first." After finishing speaking, King Rui waved his hand, and several guards rushed up and surrounded Sun Yaozu......
