Chapter Ninety-Five: A Call for Help

On the Kaiqi Palace, Princess Yan Peilan's eyes widened, and a trace of anger appeared on her face, her subordinates came to report just now, and those merchants refused to pay rent and tribute.

"Have these people eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall, tell me the details of what happened!" Yan Peilan said as she looked at a kneeling servant below.

"Yes. The little one took people to collect rent today, and when he entered the first house, the boss of the house said that the silver and silver tickets were all deposited in the bank, and he had to go and get them. The little one believed it, and was ready to come back to get it later, so he went to the next one. ”

As a result, the next one also said that the money was saved. The little one was also very confused, thinking to himself what was wrong today? Is it possible to put the money in the bank after discussion? The little one did not dare to delay, and continued to go to the third store to collect it. ”

As a result, the third one directly said that there was no money to pay the rent! The small one rushed up to catch the boss, but the boss was very stubborn, and said that he had no money. This makes the little one feel very strange, in the past, these shopkeepers and bosses, when they saw us, which of us was not only careful to serve? ”

The little one didn't talk nonsense to him, and walked behind the counter, only to find a scrap or two of silver. The next few are basically like this......"

Later, the little one forced them to pay the rent, and they joined forces to beat the little one, and the little one had a wound on his face. ”

The slave covered his face with an aggrieved expression, and several fist prints were clearly visible on it.

"Waste!But these people are brain-broken?dare to go against me?" Yan Peilan sensed something was wrong, and seemed to smell the smell of conspiracy.

"You bring someone tomorrow and find me two hundred! Come with me to have a look!" Yan Peilan ordered.

Yan Peilan heard the familiar footsteps, it was Chen Kaiqi who came back, she hurriedly waved her hand to let the slave retreat, she secretly occupied the street shop to collect rent and taxes, and did it without Chen Kaiqi.

"O concubine, this king has encountered an interesting thing today, hahahaha, come on, this king wants to talk to you. Chen Kaiqi laughed and walked towards the house.

"Hmm, what's the matter with this wound on your face?" Chen Kaiqi bumped into the slave head-on.

"Back to the prince, it was the little one who met the villain, and the villain insulted the little family, and the little one was angry, so he started with them. The slave said, "Lies come casually."

"Well beaten! How can the family be humiliated? I will go and get ten taels of silver in a while, and I will go to treat it well. Chen Kaiqi nodded, showing a touch of appreciation.

"Little Lord Xie. The servant retired happily.

In fact, Chen Kaiqi is really a good prince, simple-minded, and never asks about the government, although he does not have the right to regent. He just calmly became an idle prince, anyway, there was a court to give him a fortune, and this large sum of money was enough for him to eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime.

But ah, some people are unwilling, Yan Peilan is such a woman, she married into the palace, but she just took a fancy to Chen Kaiqi's power and money, and she didn't have any love for him in her heart!

But when Yan Peilan married into the palace, she found out that Chen Kaiqi was a "waste" prince, who didn't fight for anything, like other princes, he could receive a lot of benefits from others every month.

Moreover, other princes will huddle together to keep warm, but Chen Kaiqi is very arrogant, does not interact with other princes, and says very loudly that he will not go with them to cheat Dawei's silver.

Yan Peilan is very disdainful, she has enough power to get benefits, and if she doesn't take the benefits, isn't that a fool?

As a result, Yan Peilan secretly did a lot of things, and her private small treasury is now comparable to half of the family's wealth in the palace.

As she tasted more and more sweetness, and the illegal things she did were not exposed once, she became more and more bold and greedy.

Last year, she knew that there were several county kings who had privately occupied a lot of street shops, and she could earn tens of thousands of taels of gold every month just by collecting rent and benefits from street shops, which made her eyes light up, thinking about whether she could build a few street shops herself.

So, after planning for half a year, she began to attack the street shops, relying on her own identity, occupying a lot of street shops, and the government also did a good job, the so-called dotting is actually pressure, pressure with her own identity.

Yan Peilan probably didn't know that she had already entered the sight of Emperor Wei and Empress Jiang, and if she stumbled around again, Emperor Wei was likely to take her under the knife.

"Ai Concubine, today this king went to buy vegetables, do you know, that pork guy Lao Bai, four taels of pork cut me into four catties! Hahaha, after he found out that he cut it wrong, he was embarrassed to ask me for more money, so I made a lot of pork. Hahahaha, you say it's interesting!" Chen Kaiqi laughed.

"Well, that pork guy is stupid. ”

Yan Peilan squeezed out a smile and nodded cooperatively, but her heart was full of disgust, a dignified prince, he actually went to buy vegetables by himself, and even if he bought vegetables by himself, he still said so many things that he thought were very interesting every day, but he didn't know that he was bored.

It's true, it's boring.

"Aifei, how about eating shredded pork with green peppers today? Add a tomato and egg!" Chen Kaiqi asked with a smile.

"The prince made it, and the concubines love to eat it. Yan Peilan smiled coquettishly.

"Wait, this king will cook for you!" Chen Kaiqi carried the dishes and walked towards the kitchen happily humming a little song.

"Hmph, this fool, fortunately I didn't have a child with him, otherwise I would have been a fool! But I am younger than him, and when he dies, my son and I will inherit the family business. Yan Peilan smiled coldly.

Yan Peilan and Chen Kaiqi have been married until now, and they have never given birth to a son or daughter to Chen Kaiqi, but Chen Kaiqi cherishes her very much, and does not even take a concubine, and only loves her wholeheartedly, which can be regarded as an infatuated man.

But Yan Peilan had a twelve-year-old son outside, and in the third year after they got married, Yan Peilan found that Chen Kaiqi was really a hopeless idiot, so she used the excuse that she wanted to go to the mountains and rivers for a year.

It was in this year of sightseeing that she had an affair with someone else and gave birth to a son, and now that son lives in a small courtyard in Fu'an City with her lover, and lives by Yan Peilan every month by sending them money.

If Chen Kaiqi knew that Yan Peilan had raised a little white face outside and gave birth to a son, I don't know how he would feel? This green hat is green and shiny!

Although Chen Kaiqi has no ambitions and even looks a little sloppy, the food he cooks does taste good, which may be the only acceptable place for Yan Peilan.

After the meal, Yan Peilan endured the disgust in her heart, and Chen Kaiqi Wushan Yunyu, and when she was done, she looked at Chen Kaiqi who was sleeping heavily, secretly ran to the kitchen, and took out a packet of medicinal powder in a secret compartment, which is a special medicine powder to prevent pregnancy, and took it directly after boiling it with hot water.

Chen Kaiqi may not have imagined that the reason why they have never been able to conceive a child is because Yan Peilan takes contraceptive powder after every intercourse.

On the second day, Yan Peilan and the slaves rushed to the street with two hundred thugs, which was also a troublesome neighborhood, but when the people saw these fierce and evil people, they all ran away, and the whole street was suddenly a lot quieter.

"Listen to me! Today I will come to collect the rent again, this time obediently prepare all the money! Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being rude!" the servant shouted loudly from the excuse, and his voice was clear to the end of the street.

"Nobleman, they are here again, what should we do this time? Last time, you said that you could guarantee that we don't have to pay rent anymore, so we dared to join forces to resist, you have to help us solve this matter!"

At this time, the shopkeepers of several families were gathering together, surrounding an old woman, with a nervous face, for fear that he would be beaten or the shop would be smashed.

"I said that I am not a nobleman, a nobleman is in the palace, but a nobleman, she can definitely guarantee that you don't have to pay rent anymore!

But why didn't she want to think about it, even if they were a man, even if they were the owners of a store, they were just ordinary people, but the princess of Kaiqi was outside, how could they afford to provoke them?

The old woman pushed open the door, walked out calmly, came to Yan Peilan and the others, and glanced at everyone.

"Who are you?" asked the servant.

"Is your master here?" asked the old woman rhetorically.

"What does it matter to you whether my master is here or not?"

"I want to see her. ”

"My master, how can you see each other, get out of here, let those old things get out and pay for them!" the slave waved his hand impatiently.

Yan Peilan, who was covering her face at the end, frowned slightly, this old woman's dress was too gorgeous, not like a flat-headed commoner, isn't it an old lady from a family?

However, she felt that she was very raw, and it should not be an old lady of a famous official, maybe it was some small official family.

Yan Peilan thought about it, she still came out of the crowd, she was not afraid of 10,000, she was afraid of what happened, caution was her consistent principle, in case this old woman was also a member of a big family, it would be inconvenient to have a conflict.

"Stand down. Yan Peilan glanced at the slave, and the slave immediately retreated behind Yan Peilan with a smile on his face.

"That's you, right?" the old woman looked at Yan Peilan with a mask.

"Who are you?" Yan Peilan asked.

"This place, my master has taken a fancy to it, you don't want to come to collect rent anymore. The old woman said.

Yan Peilan was about to get angry, but she saw the old woman show a jade card, when Yan Peilan saw the jade card clearly, she couldn't help but be surprised, it was the jade card of the nobleman in the palace! As for which nobleman, she didn't know, but that way, it was absolutely right.

Yan Peilan frowned for a moment, turned around and left, this matter involves the people in the palace, then it is better for her not to mix blindly, after all, she has done too many improper things, if she is found out by the people in the palace, she will shed her skin if she does not die.

This row of street shops, although she is a little unwilling to give up like this, but compared to her life, she will lose some benefits if she loses some benefits, and she can just find a place to collect rent when the time comes.

"It's kind of acquaintance. The old woman smiled with satisfaction, looked at the shopkeepers hiding behind her, turned and left.

Inside the harem.

"Queen Mother, the old slave has done it. The old woman who appeared on the street earlier was leaning over and standing in front of Empress Jiang at this time.

"Well, that's a good job, send the jade medal back to the lady, and send her another twenty brocades. Empress Jiang nodded slightly.

This jade plate was borrowed by her and a nobleman in the palace, she would not take out her queen jade card to deter them, and deal with a princess, she couldn't use it, the jade card of any noble person in the palace was enough, as long as Yan Peilan knew that someone in the palace had come forward, Yan Peilan would not dare to do anything wrong.

There are several nobles in the palace, and these people were canonized by the emperor when he was alive. With the identity of Empress Jiang, it is easy to borrow their identity jade plates.

"There's some trouble over there with King Tongli, Biyu, you can go for a trip. Empress Jiang said to a little palace maid beside her.

This little palace maid is the girl who carried the shoes for Empress Jiang before, in fact, she is a guard trained by Empress Jiang, and her skills are also quite good, she is only twenty-five years old, and she has already entered the realm of gathering qi.

"Yes. Jasper leaned over to take orders.

In the Hall of the Nine Poles.

Emperor Wei, who was reviewing the folds, raised his head, and there was a secret letter in the upper left corner of his desk, which was sent by his "eyes", which mentioned that there was a military newspaper on the way to the palace, so Emperor Wei deliberately calculated the time, and now the military newspaper should almost be outside the gate of the Nine Poles Palace.

"Your Majesty, there is a military report. Wei Infinite reported outside the door.

"Come in. Emperor Wei responded.

Wei Wuyin walked into the Nine Poles Hall with a soldier, took the sealed military report from the soldier, and presented it to Emperor Wei.

Emperor Wei uncovered the fire paint and took out the letter, his brows furrowed, this was a letter asking for help.

The Chichihar people asked for help from the border army of the Qingzhou line in the western Xinjiang of the Great Wei, and the Zhao State raised troops to invade the Chichihar tribe.

The patriarch of the Chichihar tribe will send an envoy to the Great Wei every year to pay tribute, which is considered a force attached to the Wei State, and they come to ask for help.
