Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 535

The dignified capital, at the feet of the Emperor, a group of victims were actually begging with confidence and fearlessness. Their methods were quite vile, making people feel that it was inconceivable.

The Emperor suddenly thought of Mu Yunyao blocking him and then recalled that commoner who had previously told him about the Nebula Market and how he had not been jealous of Lou Lan's porridge. He thought for a while before asking, "Yunyao, do you know about this?" Mu Yunyao nodded straightforwardly. "Yes, after I returned, the shopkeepers from the Nebula Market and the Nether Limitless Tower told me about this matter, saying that there were a group of victims from Jiangnan who had nothing better to do during the day. They would go begging in the streets after collecting porridge at the Nebula Market and the Nest Pavilion.

So, I told them not to serve them porridge in the future, but many of them are real victims, and even if they were mixed together, they wouldn't be able to completely refuse. "

"Shuntian Clan actually doesn't care about such a thing?" Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly, "Even if Sir Shen wanted to manage it, he probably wouldn't be able to do so. After all, their identities are victims, and Your Majesty had already ordered for them to not enter the city unless an outbreak occurs. Thus, the capital is no exception. Lord Shen cannot put him down

When they were chased away, they could only be expelled after being discovered by the patrolling officials. However, the number of patrolling officers was limited, and these victims could move about freely. If one wanted to control them, they could not. "

The emperor nodded his head, "Are you the same as the victims of disasters in the past?" I'm not sure about that, but I've asked the embroideries who worked at the Neon Cloud Workshop about this. Many of them have said that they've never encountered such a situation before, and that the Emperor is very tolerant towards the people and strict towards the officials. That's why the citizens are not afraid of the officials, which is why the victims dared to act so brazenly.

"

"So it turns out that there's still me." The Emperor didn't know if he should be happy or worried. Mu Yunyao replied with a smile, "The Emperor has strict requirements towards officials, so I have to clear my mind. The citizens will live and work in peace, this is a very good thing. Moreover, although the methods used by the victims are not appropriate, they only want to live on.

After a period of time, the cities in Jiangnan have been rebuilt, and many people will return to their hometowns. Even if there are people left behind, there will be people who will be counting their household records to help them settle down. "

The emperor nodded, letting go of the unhappiness in his heart. He concentrated on accompanying Grand Princess Yi De as she strolled around.

It was almost noon when they arrived at Magnificent Origin Tower. Mu Yunyao suggested, "Grandmother, great-uncle, we've been walking for the entire morning. Why don't we go to Magnificent Origin Tower and have a good rest?

"Alright." As the several of them entered, the shopkeeper arranged them into a private room on the second floor with a meaningful gaze.

The sound of gongs and drums rang out from outside, followed by waves of cheers. When Mu Yunyao heard the sound, her eyes flashed, and she gently retracted her gaze.

The emperor's curiosity was piqued. "It's not a festival today. Why is it so lively?"

"Listening to this music, it should be someone getting married."

The emperor walked to the window and opened it to look down. With a glance, he frowned slightly.

He saw a group of beggars kneeling at the front of the line as if they were begging. Some of the guests came forward to persuade her, but the beggars could only kowtow; they had no intention of leaving. After that, the groom took the silver and gave it to them. The beggars kept kowtowing until someone told them to go to the officials. Only then did they unwillingly step aside …

The road.

"This is outrageous," the Emperor said, looking displeased. "These people are indeed greedy."

Mu Yunyao didn't make a sound as she focused on brewing the tea.

Princess Yi De picked up her teacup and took a sip, a smile on her lips: "The Emperor really can't rest for a moment, hurry up and sit down. One day, I'll give some instructions to Shen Bingshu to properly teach these victims of disasters."

Just as the emperor was about to close the window, he suddenly heard a surprised exclamation from below. He looked over with rapt attention and saw an official who was patrolling the street grab a beggar. The beggar kept twisting and turning, and suddenly, two ingots of white silver fell out of the beggar's tattered clothes.

A sharp glint flashed across the emperor's eyes. Due to the distance, the emperor couldn't see everything clearly, but from the looks of the silver, it was at least 50 taels. The people begging on the streets actually had fifty taels of silver in their hands?

"Your majesty, what's going on? Why's your face so ugly?"

"Sister, I just saw a victim with about fifty silver on his body."

The Eldest Princess Yi De creased her eyebrows. "This isn't possible, is it? Did the emperor make a mistake?"

"No, the patrolman has been arrested." The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. He turned around and instructed Xu Li, "Have someone secretly follow the victims and investigate their whereabouts."

When the beggars with silver taels on them were grabbed, the other people's reactions were too panicked. One by one, they clutched their clothes and fled, as if they too had silver taels on them …

The emperor sat back down on his seat and began to ponder over this matter. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly regained his senses and looked apologetically at the Eldest Princess Yi De. "Eldest Sister, we agreed to accompany you for a stroll and buy some things.

"It's more important to be concerned about the affairs of the people. If the emperor delays official matters in order to help me celebrate my birthday, I would truly feel apologetic." Not long after, the guard that had gone to investigate returned. "Reporting to the Emperor, after we captured the victims of the silver, the officials sensed that something was amiss and reported the matter to Lord Shen, the governor of Shuntian Manor. Lord Shen had people track them down and investigate all the way to the abandoned houses in the west of the city.

"There are many beggars, and a lot of money has been found. The exact amount is being counted, but it's at least a few thousand taels of silver."

The emperor's gaze became stern and fierce, "The beggar has so much silver on him... "Interrogate him carefully and get to the bottom of this matter."

First Princess Yi De stood up, "Your Majesty, since you have matters to attend to, you should go and busy yourself first. Yan Han and Yunyao can accompany me. It's more important to be serious."

"Royal sister, Shen Bingshu has done things faithfully and has assured me that he can investigate." Besides, I'm just going back to wait. There's no rush. "

"That's fine too."

After a meal, the emperor was somewhat absent-minded. Seeing this, Grand Princess Yi De didn't try to persuade him otherwise. Just as he finished eating, Shen Bingchen rushed over with his men.

"This humble subject pays his respects to Your Majesty, the Grand Princess."

"But have you investigated the victims?"

Shen Bingshu's face was extremely unsightly. He took out two taels of silver from his sleeves and said, "Your majesty, please look at these taels of silver."

Xu Li hurriedly wrapped the silver in a handkerchief and handed it to the emperor.

"What happened to the silver?"

"Reporting to your majesty, the bottom of this silver has traces of being cut. This humble subject speculates that this silver should be official silver. Someone intentionally cut the bottom part of the official silver imprint." "What?"
