In the small fenced yard.
The villagers all looked at Jiang Ranli and Yin'er in shock. They originally thought that the newcomers to the village were just an ordinary newlywed couple, but they didn't expect that they were the ninth prince and his concubine.
"Linghu, are they really the Ninth Master and his concubine?" Uncle Five still couldn't accept this reality. He really couldn't imagine that for a period of time before, the Ninth Prince went to buy his watermelons every day and then took them to the city to sell. This was simply unbelievable.
Linghu Shiyi nodded for the first time to confirm the villagers' surprise, "Yes, they are really the Ninth Master and his concubine."
Hearing Linghu Shiyi's confirmation again, the courtyard suddenly became lively, and the villagers rushed to express their shock and surprise.
"I have lived for most of my life, but I never thought that I could meet a prince in the court. Oh, this is really a great luck."
"Master Jiu, why didn't you tell us your identity when you came? Otherwise, we wouldn't have spoken to you like that before. Look at what's happened now, we really feel sorry for it."
"Master Jiu, let's not talk about anything else. Zhang Wannian is a well-known villain in Taiyuan City. It really makes people happy that you have dealt with Zhang Wannian this time."
. . .
Zhang Wannian was notorious in Taiyuan City. When he was punished this time, the whole city of Taiyuan was overjoyed. Whenever people talked about this incident, they kept sighing that Yinzhen eliminated the harm for the people and was a prince who cared about the people.
However, while the people applauded, Yinzhen felt unworthy of their support. In fact, he did not ask the officials to thoroughly investigate Zhang Wannian in order to eliminate a threat to the people.
In the blink of an eye, all the wheat in Shanxi had been harvested, and Wu Yanqing became busy every day.
He came to Shanxi this time, firstly to check out the family-run businesses here, and secondly to collect grain. The reason why he appeared at Tianxia Restaurant before was because when he was communicating with Jiang Fan, he heard Jiang Fan say that the restaurant in Taiyuan was losing money every month and was unable to make ends meet.
After their identities were known, Jiang Ranli and Yin'er were no longer able to act as easily as before. They no longer sold watermelons. Every day they either went to help Wu Yanqing or to help at the Tianxia Restaurant. When they had free time, they would also go to see the surrounding scenery.
On this day, the two of them went to Longshan Grottoes, and it was late at night when they returned to the small courtyard.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw that the light was still on in Wu Yanqing's room. He had a very regular schedule and rarely went to bed so late.
"Why hasn't Yanqing rested yet?" Jiang Ranli felt a little strange.
Yinzhen shook his head. He didn't know the reason, but he felt it was not normal.
The two approached Wu Yanqing's house and heard a sigh coming from inside.
"Yanqing..." Yinzhen raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and Wu Yanqing's slender figure was silhouetted in the candlelight. At this moment, his face was full of sorrow, no longer as elegant as before.
"What happened?" Jiang Ranli asked.
Wu Yanqing welcomed the two men into the house and said, "My people have been collecting grain in various places these days, but they met people doing other business."
"You met someone from other businesses, and then what?" Jiang Ranli intuitively knew that something had happened that made Wu Yanqing worried, and he urged anxiously.
"Other businesses lowered the price of grain and used very little silver to collect grain from the people, and the people suffered terribly from this," Wu Yanqing explained the reason.
