Li Jinhuan and his wife Huang Qingya are about to arrive in the capital, and Liang Pei, the steward of the Shu Palace, has already arranged their residence, and is reporting to Li Jinzhi in the study at the moment.

Song Zhijie sat aside with a fan, and waited for Liang Pei to go out before he said to Li Jinzhi:

"If the food for disaster relief was not donated by the Huang family, I don't think the prince would agree to let the second son go on this trip."

Of course, Li Jinyu hopes that the King of Shu can solve his urgent needs, but he must not want the world to know about this righteous act of the Shu Palace.

This point, the king of Shu and his staff will not be unexpected.

Li Jinzhi smiled slightly, refilled the hot tea for himself and Song Zhijie, and then took two sips of the teacup and said:

"If the second brother is willing to come to Beijing, let him come, but if he comes this time, he will definitely meet the imperial brother, and even the Huang family may follow him to receive the reward.

And Ming Ze and the emperor's brother look more and more alike, so they must not be given the opportunity to meet Ming Ze. ”

The ordinary people of the Shu Wangfu and the Mei Mansion, even if they could occasionally see Li Mingze, they didn't have the opportunity to see Li Jinyu.

And Gao Yuan, Yurong and others are all trustworthy.

Song Zhijie nodded and said:

"The less anyone knows about this, the less dangerous the child is.

In the future, try not to let the children come to the palace again. ”

Li Mingze's existence is definitely not good news for Empress Xie and Xie Guozhang. Even if he is severely disabled, there is no possibility of succession.

But after all, he is the eldest son of the emperor, after all, Li Jinyu has not mentioned the matter of establishing a prince until now.

And Li Jinyu will never want to be known by even one more person about the events of the year.

Many victims gathered inside and outside the capital, and because of Li Jinyu's positive attitude towards disaster relief, no one dared not express himself, from the important ministers of the court to the wealthy merchants.

Even if you just donate a few dozen catties of food, you always have to make a show.

The Shu Wangfu provided a lot of food, clothing, bedding and silver, but Li Jinzhi did not allow the people in the palace to publicize it, and even did not allow the people of the Shu Wangfu to appear at the scene of relief for the victims.

All the donations were quietly sent to the yamen by Steward Liang, and he left as soon as the handover was completed.

After Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie finished talking, they did not immediately go to Lilac to tell Mei Xue the news, but took a carriage in the evening.

Because of the gathering of victims and the continuous rain, many people have begun to fall ill.

In order to prevent the widespread spread of the disease, the government mobilized all the medical centers and doctors in the entire capital to not only prepare medicines, but also to be responsible for patrolling and treating patients in different areas.

Mei Xue also changed her habit of not going out of the house in the past, and almost every day she went out before dawn and returned home after dark.

Moreover, in order to ensure the health of her two children, she lives in the pharmacy these days and does not see Ping An and Li Mingze.

Although it didn't rain, the weather was still gloomy.

Li Jinzhi sat in the small courtyard where the pharmacy was located for a while, and Mei Xue led Jiu'er back.

Seeing Li Jinzhi, Mei Xue smiled, waved her hand from afar and motioned for him to stay where she was, while she herself walked into the house quickly to freshen up and change clothes.

When Mei Xue walked out with her half-wet hair tied, the people had already set up the meal on the stone table, and Li Jinzhi was serving soup to Mei Xue.

The two of them were talking while eating, Li Jinzhi said that Li Jinhuan and his wife were about to arrive in Beijing, Mei Xue understood when she heard it, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I will increase the number of people who take care of the inner courtyard, and without me by my side, I will never let outsiders see Mingze."

After eating, I sat and drank tea, and it was already dark.

Jiu'er came over and hung a lantern on the branch and added a cloak to Mei Xue.

Li Jinzhi asked about the situation of the victims, Mei Xue only briefly said the general situation, but mentioned one thing separately:

"Although there is a disaster relief from the imperial court, there are still more and more cases of selling children and daughters."

Li Jinzhi didn't answer, and only looked at Mei Xue quietly.

Not to mention a disaster year, even in ordinary times, this kind of thing is inevitable. Mei Xue mentioned it alone, there must be something unusual.

Sure enough, Mei Xue hesitated for a moment, and then continued.

There are many people who buy children, but there is a group of people who are clearly different. They only need girls, and they only need good-looking ones. Even if other people's parents are still hesitating, they have to buy their children with both hard and soft measures.

Yesterday, he forcibly snatched a little girl who was only 10 years old, and despite the crying of the child's parents, he threw down a piece of silver and dragged the person away.

Mei Xue's face gradually turned cold, and she said to Li Jinzhi:

"Uncle Mei and Qin Li are already investigating, and it is very likely that the backstage of this group of people is Uncle Shen Guo."

There was no need to ask, Li Jinzhi knew that Shen Qingyang must not know.

He immediately stood up and said to Mei Xue:

"You have a good rest, don't worry about this matter anymore, I will go to Lord Shen to deal with it together."

Shen Qingyang has never received half of the benefits of Uncle Guo's mansion, but if Uncle Shen's scandal is revealed, he will still be affected.

Mei Xue didn't say anything more, nodded and got up to see Li Jinzhi leave.

It was already late at night, but a group of heavily armed Yulin Guard soldiers rushed into the uncle's mansion.

Uncle Guo's mansion soon became chaotic, and dozens of little girls were searched out, all of them disheveled like frightened birds, gathered in the corner of the courtyard and wept incessantly.

Shen Qingyang's face was like frost, and he looked coldly at Uncle Shen Guo who was stumbling and being pushed out of the room.

Uncle Shen Guo was originally a little frightened, but as soon as he saw Shen Qingyang, he knew that he had not alarmed the government, and his arrogance suddenly increased greatly, and he scolded Shen Qingyang.

Shen Qingyang only sneered, too lazy to say a word more to Uncle Shen Guo, and only ordered someone to take care of him, and escorted him into the palace to face the saint as soon as it was dawn.

As soon as he heard that he was going to see Li Jinyu, Uncle Shen Guo began to panic, and just as he was about to run, the scabbard in Shen Qingyang's hand had already flown towards his knee socket.

The fat body fell heavily to the ground, and Uncle Shen Guo was so bloody that he couldn't even scold Shen Qingyang.

In the afternoon of the next day, Mei Xue was busy in the temporary medical hall outside the city, and Liu Qi, Shen Qingyang's personal soldier, came over.

He first thanked Mei Xue for Shen Qingyang, and then continued:

"Your Majesty was furious, and ordered Uncle Shen to return to his hometown to retire on the spot, and he would never be allowed to return to the capital without a holy order."

This result was expected by Mei Xue, Uncle Shen Guo was Shen Qingyang's biological father, but he was also Li Jinyu's biological uncle.

He did this kind of ugly thing that is inferior to beasts, if he is discovered and publicized, it is not only Shen Qingyang who will be embarrassed.

Moreover, not to mention the capital Luoyang, it is the other state capitals of the Great Jin Dynasty, and there are not a few people who know that Shen Qingyang's father and son are not in harmony.

In the evening of that day, as soon as Mei Xue returned to the pharmacy, she saw the county lord of Changle waiting for her.

After getting married, although the county lord of Changle combed the woman's head, he was still in a fiery temperament, and when he saw Mei Xue, he hated and said:

"It's just that it's not as good as beasts, they are all children who are only eleven or twelve years old, and he can do it, and a few of them have been tortured

I personally placed the children and waited for their parents to be found, and I gave them a lot of money to send them home. ”

Mei Xue washed her hands and face, and said to the county lord of Changle:

"It's very chaotic outside now, there must be some children's families who can't find it, I'm afraid you and Lord Shen will have to make another plan."

The county lord of Changle handed Mei Xue the cloth towel to wipe his face, sat down in the round chair and said:

"My husband said the same thing, I have already thought about it, if I can't find a family, I will leave them in the house to do some light work, and when they grow up, I will arrange suitable people for them to start a family."

Mei Xue also felt that this was the best way, but she deliberately smiled and looked at the lord of Changle County and quipped:

"If you open your mouth and shut up now, it's what your husband says, if it's really a husband and a wife."

The county lord of Changle blushed, smiled and jumped up to chase after Mei Xue.

When she sent the county lord of Changle away, Mei Xue lowered her voice and said to her:

"Don't let him get better."

The county lord of Changle naturally knew who Mei Xue was referring to, so he sneered and whispered:

"Don't worry, I will arrange for him to live a comfortable life, otherwise I won't be able to atone for his sins."
