Chapter 479 Exploiting the People’s Money
"I have one more thing to ask you."
"What?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said with a gloomy expression, "When I asked you to rectify the administration, it seems the Ministry of Personnel discovered many officials who were corrupt and exploiting the people, is that right?"
"yes."
Ye Zheng looked at him cautiously.
Could it be that he was going to vent his anger on those officials?
However, a large number of people have already been dealt with, and the remaining ones are dealt with slowly and step by step because of the face of the old ministers of the court, right?
Let He Yi do all these things.
Just when he was puzzled, Zhu Feng said, "What methods did they use?"
"ah?"
Caught off guard by this question, Ye Zheng was stunned: "What?"
Zhu Feng said with a sullen face, "Let me ask you, what methods did they use to exploit the people's money?"
“…”
Ye Zheng was a little overwhelmed.
Why are you asking this?
But when Zhu Feng glared at him, he didn't dare to think too much and said hastily, "It's nothing more than making up some excuses to make the people have no choice but to pay; and..."
He blurted out everything in one go.
Zhu Feng listened in silence for a long time, then murmured, "Cunning excuses..."

Nan Yan was lying on the bed.
Although Zhu Feng asked her to have a good rest before leaving, how could she sleep at this time?
I don’t know if that pattern can help him.
But now, there's nothing I can do.
With nothing to do, she simply began to look around the house - it was very spacious and simple, with all the necessary utensils, but it was not luxurious at all, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be Prince Yan's Mansion.
As she was thinking, the door was pushed open with a creak.
"Nan Yan?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Nan Yan immediately turned around happily: "Xiao Yu!"
The person who walked in from outside was none other than Ran Xiaoyu.
Her face seemed to have some scratches, and she had applied medicine and changed her clothes, but she looked very lonely. However, after seeing Nan Yan wake up, she immediately walked to the bedside in two steps: "You awake? Are you okay?"
Nan Yan hurriedly shook her head: "I'm fine."
But the next moment, Ran Xiaoyu saw her tightly wrapped hands, and her face suddenly darkened.
Nan Yan said, "Xiao Yu, you came at the right time. I don't want to lie down anymore. My back hurts. Help me sit up."
Ran Xiaoyu held her in her arms and sat her against the head of the bed, and put a cushion behind her.
"Does it hurt?"
"The pain has long gone. The doctor gave me very good medicine."
"It's all my fault. I didn't—"
"Don't be silly." Seeing Ran Xiaoyu blaming herself, Nan Yan felt even more sad than if she had been hurt. "I was the one who was running around aimlessly. How could I blame you?"
As she spoke, she asked carefully, "Your Majesty, didn't he say anything to you?"
She was afraid that the emperor would blame Ran Xiaoyu again.
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her and shook her head slightly.
In fact, the emperor didn't care about her at all.
At that time, seeing Nan Yan fainted in the snow and seeing her injuries, Zhu Feng's anger seemed to condense into visible dark clouds, gathering behind him, scaring them all.
And those who blocked their way—died a miserable death.
Even Ran Xiaoyu felt a little chilled when she recalled the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Afterwards, Zhu Feng carried her back to Beiping, back to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
Along the way, I didn't let go of my hand.
