Last night, the men in the camp worked together to tear down a wall, and clashed with the officers and soldiers, killing and wounding many people who fled.

Now that there is turmoil in the city, if the imperial court orders the slaughter of the people of the Shannian Camp, Shengjing will become a sea of blood. Of course, the people of the Zen Camp will not wait to be killed, they will definitely resist desperately, and this turmoil will continue to spread and last for a long time.

Liu Yunxiang thought of this and let out a long sigh.

The time is not yet right, she has to give the emperor a headache for a few days.

In the next few days, Liu Yunxiang lived in this alley with his two children and did not go out all day. It wasn't until early this morning that Zijin was asked to go outside to see what was going on.

"These people in the Shannian Camp are like rats, and they don't know where to go during the day, and the officers and soldiers can't find them, but at night, they sneak out, rob houses, and loot shops, which makes the court officials very headache. It's been ten days, the people don't dare to go to the streets during the day, they don't dare to sleep peacefully at night, and the people's grievances are boiling, but this mess has not only not been solved, but is getting more and more chaotic. Zijin said while eating steamed buns.

Liu Yunxiang had several account books stacked in front of her, and she listened to Zijin talk about the situation outside while fiddling with the abacus.

"The court didn't order the killing?"

"There is no bright face, but those people who are captured back to the Shannian Camp don't know whether they are dead or alive."

Liu Yunxiang calculated to the end, wrote a number at the end of the account book, and then handed the account book to Zijin.

"You send these account books back to Zhang Qi, and then ask him to prepare this number for me, you don't need to give it to me, transfer it to Jiangnan Qianzhuang, so that you can rebuild the brocade workshop in the spring of next year."

Zijin put the bun in his hand into the end, and then took the account book, "There is another thing, the old prince goes to the grain store to find you every day, and Brother Zhang follows your instructions, saying that you are in a bad mood and no one is seen, but he still goes every day." ”

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the grain store tomorrow." ”

The next day, after breakfast, Liu Yunxiang went out with Zijin.

When I came to the street, although I had expected what kind of bleak situation the street would be, I saw with my own eyes that all the shops on the street were closed, many of them were smashed, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street, but occasionally a few people in ragged clothes hurried through, and the north wind howled by, which made people feel chills.

During the reign of the first emperor, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Quartet was deterred by force, which can be described as a rich country and a strong people, but after the current emperor succeeded to the throne, because of his mediocrity and incompetence, the national strength declined all the way, and now the internal strife is not stopped, the external troubles are frequent, the people can not live in peace, and the court is divided among the parties.

Da Rong is already a general of Great Xia, and the emperor sits on the temple, lives in the deep palace, listens to the flattery, and feels that he has made great contributions, and can be described as a virtuous king.

The little benevolent camp, not properly managed, caused such a disaster, it is really ridiculous to think about it.

The further he went, the heavier Liu Yunxiang's mood became. After passing through a fork in the road, he heard movement in the north, Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw that several officers and soldiers were chasing a group of people from the Shannian Battalion.

There were old and young people in this group, men and women, and they also had things in their hands, and they scattered and fled.

These officers and men were strong and strong, and they could have been caught by arresting these people, but they were stopped by a person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

This man was none other than the old prince.

He stopped the officers and soldiers from pursuing them.

The leading officers and soldiers said with bitter faces: "Old Prince, they are fugitives, we are ordered to arrest them, you make trouble like this, isn't it equivalent to helping them escape." ”

The old prince, still wearing his shabby robe, yawned when he heard this, took back his outstretched hands, and said scoundrelly: "You are chasing the fugitives? ”

The leader looked helplessly at the person in front of him, and asked for some reason.

The old prince snorted: "I'm not full of food and drink, and then I'm sleepy, stretching my waist, I really don't want to stop you." ”

"You've used that phrase several times."

"I'm sure I'll come up with something new next time."

The leader didn't dare to do anything to the old prince, so he had to bow to him, "Don't embarrass us, you old man, if you really want to help them, you can go to the emperor." The emperor ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and we immediately returned to the camp. ”

After speaking, the leader greeted the officers and soldiers behind him and continued to chase those people.

The old prince stroked his beard, turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang standing at the intersection, as if he had seen a bodhisattva, he hurriedly ran over, ran to him, and with an earnest face, he almost bowed and worshipped.

Liu Yunxiang smiled faintly under the pious gaze of the old prince: "In the past few days, you have been tired. ”

In one sentence, it almost brought tears to the eyes of the old prince, no one could understand him, only the niece and daughter-in-law in front of him who he didn't want to admit.

"You're finally willing to show up, but let me wait!"

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the grain store." ”

"Good, good."

When I came to the grain store, the next person brought refreshments. The old prince couldn't wait for others to pour tea, so he poured himself a full cup and drank it while blowing hot air, as if he was really thirsty.

After a cup of tea, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are still three or four hundred people in the Benevolence Camp, and half of them have already been broken." The old prince said heartbrokenly, and looked at Liu Yunxiang at the same time, but saw that when she heard this, she didn't say that she was also heartbroken, and she didn't care at all.

"These are real people, most of them are involved in the crime, not real criminals."

Liu Yunxiang listened to the old prince's heartache, she picked up a cup of tea by herself and sipped it slowly.

The emperor ordered the Shannian Camp to be sealed, thinking that these people would be trapped inside, but they couldn't go too far, so they gave a meal of thin soup and little water at noon every day. I bought a lot of food from you to help these people, and I was able to save their lives. But the sky was getting colder and colder, and they couldn't stand it, so they finally broke out. The imperial court ordered the arrest, but the people who could be arrested were not put back in the Shannian camp, but directly taken outside the city to be killed and buried on the spot. For a moment, I didn't know if I had done the right thing to do with the relief food I had given them earlier. ”

"The old prince wants to save people, naturally there is nothing wrong." Liu Yunxiang said.

"But I can't save them."

"The old prince has done his best."

"I think about it, but I can only think of you."

Liu Yunxiang put down the teacup, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a slight smile: "Old prince, don't be joking, what can I help as a weak woman." ”

The old prince hurriedly said: "Earlier, you proposed to release the Benevolence Camp, and you would accept them and let them work for you. At the time, I thought you couldn't help yourself, but now ...... Now that's the only way to try. ”

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he let out a long sigh, "I plan to open a brocade workshop in Jiangnan to revitalize the brocade industry in Jiangnan, and I really need a lot of manpower, but it's just ......."

"Just what?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed again, "The emperor wants His Royal Highness the Seventh to take a leave of absence from me, and I wash my face with tears every day, how can I still have the heart to revitalize the brocade industry." Thinking that I did not know the height of the sky in the past, I will be an abandoned woman in peace. ”
