Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 535

[Chapter 535]

In the dignified capital of the capital, at the foot of the emperor, a group of disaster victims are begging here so fearlessly, and the methods are quite bad, which makes people feel unbelievable.

The emperor suddenly thought of Mu Yunyao’s voice to block it before, and then thought of the matter that the commoner just now said that Niyunfang and Buxianlou were serving porridge, and he thought a little more in his heart: “Yunyao, do you know about this? ”

Mu Yunyao nodded bluntly: “Yes, after I came back, the shopkeepers of Niyunfang and Buxianlou both told me about this, saying that there was a group of disaster victims from Jiangnan who had nothing to do all day, in Niyunfang. After He Buxian Lou received the porridge, he started begging along the street, which was very annoying, so I asked these two places not to give them porridge in the future. However, many of them were real victims of disasters. It cannot be totally rejected.”

“Does the Shuntian Palace even care about such a thing?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly: “Even if Lord Shen wants to take care of it, I am afraid that he is powerless. After all, they are victims of disasters, and you have already made a decree, unless the epidemic occurs, all cities must not refuse the surrounding victims of disasters to enter the city. , so Kyoto is no exception. Lord Shen can’t drive them away, he can only let the guards who patrol the streets find out and drive them out, but the guards are limited, but these victims can move around, and they can’t control them if they want to.”

The emperor nodded: “Have you been the same with disaster victims in the past?”

“Then I don’t know, but I have asked the embroidered ladies who work in Niyunfang, and many people said that they have never encountered such a situation before, and said that now the emperor is tolerant to the people and strict with officials. Therefore, the people are not afraid of officials, and that’s why the disaster victims dare to be so unscrupulous.”

“In this way, there is even a reason for me.” The emperor didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.

Mu Yunyao smiled and replied: “The emperor has strict requirements on officials, so my Dali Dynasty is politically clean and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Going down, uncle and grandpa don’t have to take it so seriously, after a period of time, the city on the south side of the Yangtze River will be rebuilt, and many people will return to their hometowns, and even if some people stay, there will be people who will count their household registration and help them resettle.”

The emperor nodded, put down the unhappiness in his heart, and walked around with Princess Yide intently.

Near noon, a few people came to Shengyuan Building, and Mu Yunyao suggested: “Grandmother, uncle and grandpa, we have walked all morning, why don’t we go to Shengyuan Building to have a rest, I heard that the lake fish here makes a Absolutely, many guests come here.”

“Okay.” Several people entered the door, and the shopkeeper placed them in the private room on the second floor with a wink.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded outside, followed by bursts of cheers, Mu Yunyao heard the sound, her eyes flashed slightly, and she gently closed her eyes.

The emperor came a little curious: “It’s not a solar term today, why is it so lively?”

“Listening to this music, someone should get married.”

The emperor walked to the window, opened the window and looked downstairs, at a glance, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

I saw a group of beggars kneeling in front of the welcoming procession, as if they were begging.

Someone who greeted the relatives stepped forward to persuade them, but the beggars just kept kowtowing and had no intention of leaving. Afterwards, the people who welcomed the relatives brought the money and distributed it one by one, and the beggars continued to kowtow. In the end, someone said they were arrested to see the officials, and the beggars reluctantly gave way.

“It’s really unreasonable,” the emperor looked unhappy, “These people are really greedy enough.”

Mu Yunyao did not make a sound, and concentrated on making tea.

Princess Yide picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a smile on her lips: “The emperor really can’t be idle for a moment, sit down quickly, and ask Shen Binghuai to teach him how to properly teach these disaster victims. already.”

The emperor was about to close the window when he suddenly heard an exclamation from below. He looked intently, and saw that a street patrol officer came and grabbed a beggar, and the beggar couldn’t stop twisting, and suddenly two pieces of white silver fell from the beggar’s tattered clothes.

A sharp color flashed in the emperor’s sight. Because the distance was a little farther, the emperor didn’t see it very clearly, but from the appearance of the silver, there were fifty taels at least. The victims who beg along the street actually have fifty taels of silver in their hands?

“Emperor, what’s the matter, your face is so ugly?”

“Sister Huang, I just saw a disaster victim with about fifty taels of silver hidden on his body.”

Princess Yide frowned: “It’s not possible, is the emperor wrong?”

“No, that person has already been arrested by the officials patrolling the streets.” The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and instructed Xu Li, “Let people follow the victims in secret and check their whereabouts.”

When the beggar with silver taels on his body was caught just now, the reaction of the others was too panic, one by one, clutching the clothes on their chests and fleeing, as if they also had silver taels on them…

The emperor sat back in his seat and pondered the matter with his brows fixed. After thinking for a while, he suddenly regained his senses, and looked at Princess Yide apologetically: “I agreed that I will accompany you to go shopping and buy some things. , Who would have known that such a thing would happen, I would be disappointed.”

“It’s important to be concerned about the people’s affairs. If the emperor delays the business to help me celebrate my birthday, I will be really sorry.”

After a while, the guards who went to investigate came back: “Reporting to the emperor, after arresting the victims who had hidden silver on their bodies, the officials noticed that something was wrong, and reported the matter to Lord Shen, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Lord Shen let people track them down. Along the way, I found the abandoned house in the west of the city, and caught a lot of beggars inside, and found a lot of silver, the exact amount is being counted, but at least there are several thousand taels of silver.”

The emperor’s eyes suddenly sharpened: “The beggars are carrying so many silver taels… Carefully interrogate and find out this matter.”

Princess Yide stood up and said, “Your Majesty, since you have something to do, go ahead and do it first. It’s good to have Yanhan and Yunyao with me. The main thing is important.”

“Sister Huang, Shen Binghuai is practical and reliable, let him go to investigate and rest assured. Besides, I’m waiting to go back now, and I’m not in a hurry.”

“That’s fine too.”

During a meal, the emperor ate a little absent-mindedly, but Princess Yide didn’t speak any more to persuade her. Just finished eating, Shen Binghuai quickly rushed over with someone.

“Wei Chen sees the emperor, sees His Royal Highness the eldest princess.”

“But what about the victims of the disaster?”

Shen Binghuai’s face was very ugly, and he took out two silver coins from his sleeve: “Your Majesty, please look at these silver coins.”

Xu Li hurried forward and wrapped the silver in a handkerchief and sent it to the emperor.

“What happened to the silver?”

“Reporting to the emperor, the bottom of these silvers has been cut. Wei Chen guessed that these silvers should be official silver, and the official silver mark on the bottom was deliberately cut.”

“what?”
