Chapter 213: The Fox's Tail is Revealed
It is actually very simple to solve the problems of those merchants.
It's just a matter of a few taels of silver.
In order to save his good-for-nothing and rebellious son, he has given up most of his family property.
As long as Marquis Jinping can keep his son safe, a mere ten thousand taels of silver will be nothing to him!
A waist badge.
He helped Situ Ming solve the troubles of those merchants.
That night.
A carrier pigeon flew out of Situ Ming's yard.
However, before the carrier pigeon flew out of the city, it was attracted away by a whistle.
Uncle Shitou held the pigeon and happily went to find Wen Yan.
Wen Yan was in a good mood after reading the secret letter.
In the letter, Situ Ming told Huo Yaoxing that he had successfully recruited the head of the Xu family and that all their food would be handed over to the Xu family for sale.
The Jiao family will not charge any commission.
He asked Huo Yaoxing to deliver the food as soon as possible.
The end of the letter.
He actually put some eye drops on Wen Ruyue.
It is said that Wen Ruyue acted impulsively and almost ruined the cooperation he had agreed with the Xu family.
Huo Yaoxing trusts Situ Ming very much.
Wen Ruyue will definitely not end up in good shape if she goes back this time.
Wen Yan clicked his tongue twice, feeling sympathy for Wen Ruyue.
She gambled her entire fortune, hoping to make a fortune from disaster.
Not only did he not make a penny, he also lost several thousand taels.
If he goes back, he will be suppressed by Huo Yaoxing again.
It’s so miserable!
Wen Yan couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.
She said to Uncle Tian, "Uncle Tian, go check on the Xu family. I want to know all the information.
It would be best if we could find out what kind of deal he and Situ Ming had reached."
At the same time, Wen Ruyue, who had been traveling for a whole day, finally stayed at the planned inn after dark.
"Finally, I don't have to sleep in the wilderness." She fell on the bed, feeling like every bone in her body was about to fall apart.
Qingzhu brought hot water for her to wash.
Wen Ruyue said with emotion: "We were able to escape successfully this time, thanks to Chou Niang.
If she hadn't contacted the government office in time, I would have been completely wiped out this time."
Now she only had to pay four or five thousand taels of silver as compensation, and she was already very content.
How grateful she is to Chou Niang now.
When she finds out that Chou Niang is Wen Yan in the future, she will be so crazy and angry.
I wish I could be reborn again and slap myself hard a few times.
Wen Ruyue lay back on the bed and had already begun to imagine how the prince and she would feel like they had just been reunited after she returned to the capital, and how they would be so affectionate and inseparable.
And at this moment in the capital.
Mrs. Xie from the second branch of the Lan family is almost going crazy looking for Wen Ruyue.
Ever since Concubine Lan used the incense that Wen Ruyue presented as tribute, she became obsessed with it.
More than a month ago, Concubine Lan had already asked Madam Xie for it.
Mrs. Xie naturally asked Wen Ruyue to get it.
Wen Ruyue left a small box for herself and sent the rest to the palace.
It's only been over a month and Concubine Lan has used it up again.
And I can't stop craving for that spice.
If she didn't smell that fragrance every day, she would feel uncomfortable all over and depressed.
She urged Madam Xie to send the incense into the palace as soon as possible.
Mrs. Xie also wanted to ask Wen Ruyue for incense.
She tried many times but failed before she learned that Ruyue had come to Jinyang Prefecture.
Mrs. Xie is now like an ant on the hot pan.
I pray every day that Wen Ruyue will come back soon.
Wen Yan didn't expect that the incense she sent to Concubine Lan through Wen Ruyue had already taken effect.
It was much earlier than she expected.
The weather in Jinyang Prefecture is getting hotter and hotter.
As soon as the sky turned pale, Wen Yan woke up from the heat.
She sat up irritably and fanned herself with a round fan to bring a touch of coolness.
As soon as she woke up, Pearl woke up too.
Pei'er took the fan and fanned her: "Miss, I'll fan you, you can sleep a little longer."
"No need. The weather is too hot and I can't sleep at all." Wen Yan fanned himself faster and faster.
Just then.
There was a sudden noise outside, accompanied by some sobbing.
Wen Yan was curious: "What happened outside?"
"I'll go and take a look." Pei'er immediately got out of bed and went out.
After a while, she came back.
His expression was extremely solemn: "Many wells in the city are out of water, and many families have no water.
The government then confiscated all the wells that could produce water.
From then on, all the people in the city would release water.
Each person gets only one bushel a day."
This amount of water is just enough for basic eating and drinking needs.
"There's still water in the well in our yard, right? Should we requisition that too?"
"He has been requisitioned. Uncle Xue is cooperating with the officials in the kitchen yard." Pei'er pouted.
She was worried.
The lady loves cleanliness the most.
Water is controlled. Where does the water come from for the ladies to wipe their bodies and wash their faces every day?
Wen Yan came to the window and looked at the night sky.
Natural disasters are merciless. I hope all the people in Jinyang Prefecture can survive this disaster safely.
That morning.
Meng Xiyan and the young leader Yuan escorted many prisoners back to the city.
Wen Yan stood on the street and watched for a while, then went home.
Uncle Lin had just finished checking the news about the Xu family and came to tell Wen Yan.
The only son of the Xu family was thrown into prison and executed in the autumn.
The head of the Xu family cooperated with Situ Ming in order to save his son.
It turned out that it was to save a useless only child.
Situ Ming knows how to manipulate people's hearts.
"Uncle Lin, Huo Yaoxing's food should be arriving soon. Keep a close eye on Situ Ming."
"Yes," Uncle Lin responded.
"Who are you staring at?" A teasing voice suddenly came from above.
Wen Yan was shocked.
Look up.
Meng Xiyan and the young leader Yuan were seen sitting on the roof.
"Brother Meng, why are you here at my house?"
Meng Xiyan came down from the roof and landed lightly beside Wen Yan: "I'm here to say thank you.
Thank you very much for that batch of food, it solved our urgent need."
Wen Yan waved her hand: "It's just a matter of course. As long as Wen Ruyue gets humiliated, I'll be in a good mood."
Meng Xiyan asked her again: "You have already dealt with the people you need to deal with. When do you plan to return to the capital?"
Wen Yan frowned and said aggrievedly: "You drove me away! I will tell Sister Chi Fei that you drove me away."
Meng Xiyan: “…”
He raised his hands in surrender.
Then he said seriously, "You've seen the situation in Jinyang Prefecture. Water is scarce. If you continue to stay, you will only suffer. It's better to go back first."
Wen Yan rolled his eyes and said, "I have thought of so many ways to provide disaster relief. I want to stay and see if those methods can help the people affected by the disaster.
I'll have to wait at most half a month, no, ten days will be enough.
I'll leave when the time comes, and I promise not to cause you any trouble."
Meng Xiyan looked at her suspiciously: "You are here, don't you have other plans?"
"How could there be a conspiracy? I'm a very disciplined person.
Besides, there is nothing here except the victims.
Even if there is a plan, it is to find a way to help the victims." Wen Yan laughed awkwardly.
"really?"
"Really? It's more real than real gold." Wen Yan almost swore to the heavens, "Brother Meng, are you trying me like a criminal?"
Meng Xiyan looked away: "Okay. Once the ten days are up, I'll send you back to Beijing immediately."
After he finished speaking, he simply turned and left.
Leader Yuan looked at Wen Yan and clicked his tongue twice: "The fox's tail is fully exposed."
Meng Xiyan walked halfway and suddenly stopped, turned back and looked at Wen Yan: "There is one more thing I need your help with."
