Chapter 107: Escape
When Weng Yan's daughter Weng Ruoyun saw Qin Yan walking away and wanted to chase after him, she was stopped by the wealthy businessman Wang Yuanwai.
After Qin Yan left, He Lingling, who was not afraid of trouble, helped Weng Yan's legitimate daughter Weng Ruoyun up and started to instigate.
"Hurry up and get up. It turns out that you are the legitimate daughter of the provincial government. Unfortunately, my cousin is the reincarnation of a vixen. Not only can she not live without men, but she also seduced the emperor!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, He Lingling wanted to use Weng Yan's legitimate daughter Weng Ruoyun to make her cousin Weng Ruoyun end up miserably.
Weng Ruoyun, who grew up with Qin Yan, was so angry when she heard He Lingling's provocation that she clenched her fists and begged her to send her to the palace!
"Madam, please help me enter the palace. I will definitely repay you after I enter the palace!"
Weng Ruoyun, the legitimate daughter of Weng Yan, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank He Lingling.
Weng Ruoyun, the legitimate daughter of Weng Yan, lowered her head in inferiority and stroked her disfigured face!
Weng Ruoyun, the legitimate daughter of Weng Yan, knew that she was so ugly that she was afraid that she had no hope of entering the palace!
Seeing this, He Lingling took the opportunity to instigate the conflict and gave an idea to Weng Yan's daughter Weng Ruoyun.
"Now that His Majesty has not selected any candidates, the Imperial Master is a god-like doctor. You must find a way to get the Imperial Master to restore your appearance."
When He Lingling saw Weng Yan's legitimate daughter Weng Ruoyun kneeling and begging her, she wanted to alienate the relationship between her cousin Weng Ruoyun and Dongfang Li.
When Weng Yan's daughter, Weng Ruoyun, learned that she could become more beautiful, she knelt down and kowtowed to thank He Lingling for her idea.
"Thank you, Madam Xijin, for your kindness. If I could enter the palace one day, I would definitely make the Marquisate the most powerful in the court!"
After Emperor Weng Yan's daughter Weng Ruoyun knelt down to express her gratitude, she stood up and trotted to Dongweng Money House.
He Lingling looked at Weng Yan's daughter Weng Ruoyun, and wondered if she had such a simple mind?
He Lingling looked very proud, and then she strolled around the capital city with Xijin Hou An Shaoyun.
Mr. Wang and Li Zhangui of Tianyu Pawnshop did not dare to delay, so they asked their servants to carry the gold, silver and jewelry to be deposited and walked towards Dongweng Money House.
The group hurried to Dongweng Money House and saw Weng Ruoyun and Qin Yan went upstairs and never came down.
As soon as Dong Weng Money House opened, many wandering merchants and wealthy businessmen came one after another.
Dongfang Li was also extremely busy. He had to deal with large deposits from officials, shopkeepers, passers-by, and royal relatives, and he also had to arrange for guards to serve porridge.
Fortunately, Weng Ruoyun ran a money shop, and the customers would leave in a hurry after depositing their money.
The busiest time was when Weng Ruoyun opened a money shop and insisted on organizing an event to give out porridge and silver.
Some people fled from other countries and came to the capital, waiting for Dongweng Money House to provide them with porridge and some silver.
Some foreign people who had fled famine and suffered from hunger for several days knelt in front of the money house and kowtowed to thank Dongfang Li.
"I would like to thank the Imperial Master for his great kindness!"
Dongfang Li looked at the many foreigners in front of the money house.
Dongfang Li thought for a moment and discussed with Weng Ruoyun to let these people stay overnight in the bank.
Dongfang Li watched as more and more beggars from other places came to Dongweng Money House.
Dongfang Li looked upstairs from time to time, waiting for Weng Ruoyun to come down.
Dongfang Li waited until dark, then saw Weng Ruoyun coming down the stairs.
"I mind, please go back to the palace."
Only to hear that Weng Ruoyun was still unhappy and urged Qin Yan to return to the palace late at night.
Qin Yan chased after Weng Ruoyun and explained to her as he went downstairs.
"I was upset today so I went to the Marquis' Mansion to relax, but who knew that the maid would pester me? Smell it, I swear I didn't touch any other woman today!"
Qin Yan picked up Weng Ruoyun and was about to go upstairs.
"What are you doing? Why are there so many refugees in the bank today?"
Weng Ruoyun didn't bother to please Qin Yan. Seeing so many refugees coming to the money house today, she quickly broke free from him and ran downstairs.
"I'll help you at the bank."
This is the first time since Qin Yan ascended the throne that he has seen so many refugees!
The refugees were sitting in a mess in front of Dongweng Money House, some were kneeling in front of the money house, and some were lying sick in front of the money house!
"Kid, what's wrong with you? Don't leave me!"
Just when Qin Yan was wondering, suddenly a woman called out heartbreakingly!
I saw the woman with straw-haired hair and a dirty face breaking into Dongweng Money House among tens of thousands of hooligans.
The lady knelt at Weng Ruoyun's feet, kowtowed and begged for help!
"Girl, please save my daughter. My daughter is burning hot and breathing weakly!"
When Weng Ruoyun heard the woman crying, she hurriedly tried to help her up.
"Queen, don't touch these refugees!"
Qin Yan didn't know where these refugees came from, and was worried that Weng Ruoyun would be infected with serious diseases by them!
Qin Yan looked at the dirty woman and asked in a cold voice.
"Where are you from?"
The dirty woman knelt on the ground upon hearing this, recalling the painful experience she had experienced!
"I came from Hu County and Huancheng. The officials and merchants in Hu County have colluded to increase taxes in the past three years. If my family can't pay the grain, they will have to pay 100,000 taels of silver. If they can't pay the silver, they will be beaten to death!"
After hearing this, Qin Yan felt something was wrong and continued to question the woman kneeling on the ground.
"No, when I ascended the throne, I clearly reduced taxes. I exempted the people from paying grain for three years. Are you serious about what you said?"
Qin Xun didn't quite believe what the woman said. She stood up angrily, ran to the door of the money house, and spoke loudly to the refugees.
"Everyone, we have seen the Emperor!"
After the woman finished speaking, she heard the people kowtow in unison to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you have to decide for us!"
"Your Majesty, the royal relative, Lord Xiao, has oppressed the people and increased taxes. Every month, we have to pay 100,000 dan of grain to the court, and each household has to pay 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 taels of gold. How can we ordinary people survive?"
"Your Majesty, if you were an ordinary citizen, how could you hand over so much grain and gold and silver in a month?"
Qin Yan looked at the tens of thousands of refugees from Hu County, all of whom were his people, and yet they had become beggars on the run!
When Qin Yan heard what the people asked, he couldn't say a word!
Qin fell into deep thought. The Xiao family had complicated connections. If a thorough investigation was conducted, the veteran heroes would surely be implicated!
"Dongfang Li, take the account book and register it."
Seeing Qin Yan in a daze, Weng Ruoyun asked Dongfang Li to record how many refugees came tonight.
After hearing this, Dongfang Li said to Weng Ruoyun, "Can we let these refugees in to rest first?"
After hearing this, Weng Ruoyun nodded in agreement, but the money house did not have many quilts and mattresses.
Dongfang Li carefully questioned each refugee and let them enter the money house one after another.
Fortunately, the money house had a large area, and after pacifying tens of thousands of refugees, Weng Ruoyun discussed the matter with Dongfang Li.
"Dongfang Li, how many refugees have come today?"
Dongfang Li carefully opened the account book recording the refugees and then talked to Weng Ruoyun.
"30,000 men, 30,000 women, 5,000 children, and 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people!"
Dongfang Li carefully told Weng Ruoyun about his records, and looking at the refugees sitting on the crowded ground in the money house, he gave her instructions.
"You and His Majesty stay at the bank first. I will go to the clinic. The most urgent thing is to save the sick elderly and children!"
"Go ahead and bring some extra bedding."
Weng Ruoyun felt that what Dongfang said made sense, so she gave him a few instructions and then went to blame Qin Yan.
"Is this how you govern the world?"
"What's wrong with you?"
Qin Xun and several middle-aged women were cooking meals for the refugees at the gate of the money house when they heard Weng Ruoyun talking to him in a sarcastic tone.
