Chapter 439: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 50
The two men rode on horses, followed by a group of horses, and soon arrived at the third warehouse.
Lin Yuan took out a handful of sleeping pills from somewhere and knocked out the guard at the back door. However, the soldier at the door did not have the key. Lin Yuan pried open the door lock very skillfully and sneaked in quietly with Ji Yunhuan.
"Huan'er, look, it looks like a pill to cure the plague. This dog official clearly has the medicine, but he doesn't distribute it to the people. He hoards the medicine and sells it at a high price, and watches the people die!"
Ji Yunhuan took out the medicine bottle and smelled it. It was similar to the pills she brought from Luojing City. It should be the pills developed by the Imperial Hospital.
She also found a prescription for curing the epidemic. There were many medicinal herbs here, including common herbs. However, there were no precious herbs like ginseng.
Lin Yuan took away all the medicines for the epidemic and also shipped out a batch of medicinal materials. He sighed with some regret, "It's a pity that we can't take all of them. These should be enough. It's getting late. Let's go to the prefectural government office quickly."
Ji Yunhuan pretended to look through the medicine cabinet and said, "I'll get some more herbs that I'll need on the way. I'll be ready soon."
"You go out first and pack your things. I see there are a few carriages parked in the yard. Let's steal them as well. They will be useful to us on our way to exile."
After Lin Yuan left, Ji Yunhuan's mind moved, and all the medicinal herbs in the room entered the space. She picked up a few herbs at random and went out to meet Lin Yuan.
The last stop is the prefectural government office.
Lin Yuan pried open the window and entered the warehouse. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a dazzling array of lights and gold, silver and jewelry spread all over the floor, which was no less than what the high-ranking officials in Luojing City had.
"It's obvious that this official is corrupt. The people are starving, but he collects taxes several times a year, which only makes his pockets fatter."
Lin Yuan searched in the storeroom and whispered, "The last time I came to Jeju City, I was chasing Zhao Feitian. Zhao Feitian came in openly through the city gate. I didn't have a certificate to enter the city, so I could only climb over the city wall with my brothers and sneak in."
"There was a section of the city wall on the west side that had been in disrepair for a long time, so I was able to sneak in. Then I was led by Zhao Feitian's men to West Street, where there were many people with the plague, and my brothers were infected with the plague."
"West Street was in a mess, but no one came to investigate. Many patients sold their belongings to buy expensive pills, and ended up being left with nothing. They were driven out of the city to fend for themselves. We brothers are strong, so we can barely make it. I took in a lot of people along the way. They were all poor people. I let those who stuttered follow me."
"Aunt Gao and the others are going to follow me to the south. Many people are reluctant to leave their homeland, so they can only live in the wild. If there is a strong wind or heavy rain, I don't know if the thatched houses can withstand it. Even if we are lucky enough to open up the wasteland and plant crops, they won't be able to eat a few bites..."
Ji Yunhuan listened quietly. Living in troubled times, the common people are the ones who suffer the most.
Those great principles of worrying about the country and the people that I had read in books before seemed to be condensed into vivid pictures. Lin Yuan might not understand what it meant to govern a country and bring peace to the world, but he did it and he saved many people.
"Found it!" Lin Yuan blew away the dust and moved a faded mahogany box from the corner.
"I recognize this box. This is the dowry that my stepfather prepared for my step-sister. The boxes are all handmade by my stepfather. He said that he was a bandit and that my sister would have a hard time getting married, so he started preparing the dowry a long time ago."
"Zhao Feitian robbed many things from the mountain village. I must take these dowries back. And these are all the treasures accumulated by my adoptive father bit by bit. Now they are also my adoptive father's relics. They are a little memory for my adopted sister. I will take them all back."
Lin Yuan opened the boxes one by one, his face showing joy, "Everything is here, my godfather must be very happy to see this in heaven."
Compared with the gorgeous items in the warehouse, the things in the mountain village were not valuable at all. However, Lin Yuan chose to leave the room full of treasures alone and took the lead in moving the things in the mountain village out.
Ji Yunhuan looked at his happy and busy figure and couldn't help but laugh.
He really is a fool, but she likes fools like this.
There are too many people in this world who are good at calculating, from Murong Xuan to Yue Guogong, and then to Yan Hongkang in Jeju City. They only care about their own power and wealth, and regard the people of the country as grass.
But there are always some stupid people in this world, like her father who thought he was smart, who tried his best to defend the northern border and finally died tragically in Luojing. Like Lin Yuan in front of him, the emperor had surrendered, but he still insisted on fighting the enemy in the south, and was determined.
Since God has given her a chance to start over, she will never let the tragedy of her previous life happen again. She can definitely change the outcome of her previous life and change the future of this land.
After Lin Yuan moved all the things from the mountain village, he picked out some gold, silver, and expensive brocades and silks. These things were hard currency, so he would not have to worry about not being able to buy food.
"I don't understand these fancy things, but they should be valuable. It's a pity that we can't take them all away. Huan'er, pick out some jewelry you like, and we'll leave."
Ji Yunhuan did not look at the treasures in the box, but turned to the four treasures of the study in the cabinet beside.
She picked up the finest writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them in Lin Yuan's arms, and also took a few heavy books. Lin Yuan's arms felt heavy under the pressure, and he muttered quietly, "Why bring all this? You can't eat or drink it, and it just takes up space."
Ji Yunhuan smiled brightly, "You will know when the time comes. Besides, these are all top-quality study treasures. They are very valuable. It's worth taking them with you."
Lin Yuan carried a pile of things out through the window. Ji Yunhuan followed behind and emptied the warehouse quietly.
The trip was fruitful, filling up several carriages, so there was no need to worry about the journey to exile.
After Lin Yuan met up with his brothers, he asked them to carry the things back to the inn. He tied a few packages on the horse's back, rode another horse, and headed towards West Street with Ji Yunhuan in his arms.
West Street had just been burned and killed by soldiers in order to create the illusion that the rebels were attacking the city. The people who escaped death and returned home were faced with devastation and dead relatives.
Lin Yuan came on horseback, he was tall and the people thought that the government soldiers had come again. They had just killed the government soldiers and were now terrified. Their faces turned pale with fear.
Ji Yunhuan jumped off her horse and saw the old man in the crowd. She handed the bag full of medicine bottles to the old man and said with a smile, "We are not officials, and we don't kill people. These are medicines for treating the epidemic. Take them and share them."
"This is the prescription, and there are some commonly used medicinal materials. Find a doctor who is familiar with pharmacology, and he will be able to make more medicine. There will be no more epidemics in West Street in the future, and you don't have to sell your house or land to buy pills."
The old man was stunned. He couldn't believe that there were such nice people in the world who gave them things for free.
"Girl... and this hero, who are you? You were the ones who drove away the soldiers just now, right? Otherwise, we would have been killed long ago."
Ji Yunhuan piled the herbs in front of the old man and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who we are. These herbs are not given to you for free. I want you to do something for me."
