Chapter 92: People's Will
The next morning.
The sky was dark and the sun had just peeked out from the horizon when a group of people were already speeding on the road.
This time, without Gu Gaoming holding him back, he was able to keep up with Xiao Zhang's speed.
Gu Gaoming went to Xiang's house yesterday and returned to Kyoto with the people who were escorting the seeds.
Speeding on the road.
Naturally, anyone who wants to find out can fully understand Xiao Zhang's actions.
Right Prime Minister's Office.
"Are you ready?"
"Prime Minister, don't worry! The people from outside the country are almost waiting for your order to move around, especially on the road that the emperor must pass through to return to the palace."
"Then, what about Consort De?"
"Xiuniang, they say that Concubine De is very smart and learns things quickly. Xiuniang almost has nothing left to teach her."
With a slight smile.
It's extremely uncomfortable to watch.
Fanghan Palace.
"My lady, what's wrong with you?"
When Wen Xia got up, she found that the candlelight in Wen Han's room was still shining with an enchanting glow.
"My lady, have you not slept all night again?"
Wen Han looked up at Wen Xia, "No! Is it already light out now?"
Wen Xia: "...Empress, you."
Wen Han smiled and said, "It's okay, I just have a bad feeling in my heart."
There was a hint of discomfort in Wen Xia's eyes.
"Master, are you really okay?"
Wen Han nodded, "It's okay."
"I'm going to find Liu Dong."
Wen Han: "Don't I know my own body?"
What I’m afraid of is that you know it yourself and won’t tell us.
Wen Xia didn't say it out loud, but her eyes clearly showed that.
Wen Han looked at Wen Xia helplessly, "Silly girl, what are you afraid of? Isn't your master's own medical skills better than Liu Dong's?"
Wen Xia was about to say something when she was frightened by Wen Han's sharp eyes.
"Then, Master, shall I bring you breakfast?"
Wen Han nodded slightly.
Looking at Wen Xia's receding figure, he smiled bitterly.
The sound is so subtle that if you don't listen carefully, you might think there is no sound at all.
"I never thought that one day I, the Little Overlord of Kyoto, would become ill from excessive worry! I was so depressed.
hehe! "
Wen Han's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the secret guards to hear, but Wen Xia, who had already left, could not hear it.
Outside the South Gate, a long line of people had already formed, ready to enter the city.
The secret guard was about to step forward to cut in line, but Xiao Zhang on the side stopped him, looked at the secret guard, and waved his hand silently.
The person in front of me seemed to have started chatting.
"Nowadays, the world is in a difficult situation. There are snowstorms and droughts. There is not enough food. People are starving to death!"
Xiao Zhang's expression changed slightly. "Old man, what are you doing in the city? Isn't it said that auspicious snow means a good harvest? The snow this year is so good, next year will definitely be a good harvest."
The old man looked at Xiao Zhang with a hint of disapproval in his eyes.
"As for these things, I can only rely on God. As for me, I just go to the city to sell some small things."
"Old man, we have to rely on God. If we don't rely on God, can we still rely on human power to grow crops?"
Xiao Zhang's eyes moved slightly as he looked at the secret guard beside him, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand.
The secret guard nodded.
The old man looked at Xiao Zhang, and then looked at the golden shell of the palace that could be seen through the south gate.
Then he shrank back as if in great fear.
Xiao Zhang said in a gentle tone, "Is there anyone oppressing you over there?"
The old man glanced at Xiao Zhang, his eyes full of fear, "Shh~ The current master is so unjust! That person indulges in wine and women every day. The Prime Minister died as a witness. He has not received his approval at all. Not only that.
The Prime Minister is still lying in bed.
He hasn't attended court for two days.
If this place is unstable, won't it only make us suffer?"
They were talking in secret and were afraid of the people above them.
Xiao Zhang acted like a noble young man who didn't care about worldly affairs. "Is this what the emperor is like now?"
The person in front of him hurriedly covered Xiao Zhang's mouth. There was not a trace of dirt on his hands. They were so clean that one would have thought he was a young master from some family.
"Don't talk nonsense!" His eyes were full of fear.
Then he glared at Xiao Zhang fiercely, as if he was disgusted with him.
Xiao Zhang followed the old man in front of him and did the same action, then skillfully changed the topic.
Soon they arrived at the city gate.
Xiao Zhang looked at the secret guard not far ahead and nodded.
No one noticed the old man and the man who suddenly disappeared, and the plan went on as usual.
Although the South Gate is the closest gate to the palace, it is still a bit far away from the palace.
This route is basically filled with official residences, with very few civilians. But this time, what was strange was that there were people all along the way, muttering something.
There was already a crowd of people kneeling at the palace gate.
"I beg the Emperor to see the true face of this witch and give the Prime Minister justice."
Xiao Zhang smiled and looked at the person beside him, "Go ask them how much they would pay for kneeling like this for a whole day."
Secret Guard: “???”
"Your Majesty, please think twice and spare the people. Concubine Liang is a witch. Please don't give our lives to a witch like this."
"Your Majesty, please consider the world!"
The dense and intermittent sounds are just loud enough to make it seem noisy, but not so loud that people ignore the content.
Xiao Zhang smiled and asked, "How much?"
"One ounce of silver a day."
The cost of living in Kyoto is about 500 wen per month. One tael sounds reasonable at first, but how many people know that this is paid for with their lives?
But many people don’t know this and are directly blinded by the huge profits.
Xiao Zhang squatted aside and prepared to observe people's livelihood carefully.
"What's wrong with you? You look constipated? Do you have hemorrhoids?"
Secret guard: “…” Although he was used to the emperor’s shocking remarks from time to time, he was still a little shocked.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Xiao Zhang: "Is there any news I don't want to know?"
The secret guard's eyes moved slightly, "Your Majesty, there's news from the palace... Concubine Liang has fallen ill."
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he hurried to the palace gate.
Looking at the people around him with surprised eyes, Xiao Zhang looked at the secret guards and said, "Catch the person who led the trouble.
You should have seen it clearly just now!"
The secret guard nodded and looked at Xiao Zhang, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang seems to be feeling depressed."
Xiao Zhang looked at the scene in front of him.
How sad she must be!!
Wen Han has always been concerned about people's livelihood. She cares about this group of people so much and wants to protect them.
At this moment, he actually wanted her life?
Even if it was him, he would probably become like Wen Han!
"Your Majesty, are you still arresting people?"
Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "Catch him? Why not? How can I do pyramid selling if I'm not arrested?"
Then he realized what he had said and cleared his throat twice.
