Liu Yin woke up in a carriage, and the carriage was driving very fast, and even the inside of the carriage was bumping constantly. It was night, and there was a dense forest outside, and there were many guards behind the carriage, and the sound of horseshoes Da" kept ringing in the empty forest.
Rubbing her sore neck, she knew that she couldn't go back now, so she could only blame the prince in her heart. She was unwilling to beg him, but now she insisted on taking her away. What are you thinking.
The driver was a female guard in a black outfit, and Qin Yan was at the front on a horse. Although the carriage was bumpy, Liu Yin let herself ignore the discomfort, and went to eat the cakes on the carriage.
This kind of rushing speed didn't slow down, Liu Yin's head was dizzy, and she was in a daze, her stomach was overwhelmed, and she basically fell asleep for the rest of the journey, although the speed of the carriage behind slowed down A lot, but this kind of long-term boredom in a small space still makes her very uncomfortable.
She didn't know where she was during the whole process, so she traveled day and night, until the third day when the carriage stopped, she was also sleepy, feeling as if someone picked her up in a daze, and the surrounding seemed to be much quieter, and then There is no non-stop sound of horseshoes.
I don't know how long I slept. When Liu Yin woke up, the first thing she saw was a purple bed curtain, and she was still a little dizzy. When she sat up with support, she heard some noises faintly through the open window. the noise of downtown.
She rubbed her head, then got out of bed curiously and came to the window sill, this should be the second floor of the inn, outside is a long street with people coming and going, hawkers shouting endlessly, and young women with veils passing by from time to time , listening to the accent has the taste of the Jiangnan area.
As the door was pushed open, a woman in black came in with some food. When she saw the person in front of the window, she said, "This is the inn in Yangzhou City. The princess has been asleep for a whole day. One night."
Hearing the sound, Liu Yin just leaned against the window, scanning the bustling scene outside with strange eyes, "It's not that the flood is serious and the people are displaced, why doesn't it look like this?"
She thought she would see a tragedy in the world, but she didn't expect it to be this kind of scene. Compared with the capital city, Yangzhou city is not too crowded, even if there are no crowds in the capital city, even if you drive a carriage in the capital city, you have to hang the official brand Otherwise, the crowds on the street would definitely make it impossible to get through.
"The Crown Princess doesn't know that floods usually occur in remote villages. The floods have flooded the houses of many villagers, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many refugees. Because they are afraid of disturbing the lives of the people in the city, the magistrate did not let them The refugees are entering the city." The woman in black said seriously.
Hearing this, Liu Yin frowned, but didn't say anything, just looked back at her, "What's your name?"
There are no female guards in the palace, but she doesn't look like a palace maid.
After the words fell, the woman just lowered her head and replied in a leisurely manner: "Subordinate Zhang Man of Shenji Camp."
Her eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the slightly dark-skinned woman in front of her with a strange expression. She didn't expect that the other party was so powerful, and she was actually a person from the Shenji Camp.
"Where are your highnesses?" she asked casually.
Zhang Man stood aside, and said without changing expression: "His Highness is receiving officials from various cities and states in the next room, and has not rested until now."
Liu Yin pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, she had already discovered that this prince is a workaholic, and she has been sleeping in the carriage for the past three days, but this man has never closed his eyes, even if he wants to die, it is not the case Yes, he really thought he was a fairy!
She didn't eat, but asked someone to bring in water first. She hadn't bathed in the carriage for three days. God knows how she endured it. After taking a bath, she took out a men's suit and changed into it, while eating After we got the food, we called the kitchen to prepare some meals.
The entire inn has obviously been taken over, and there are guards inside and out. The people outside unconsciously quicken their pace when they pass by the door of the inn. Even a fool knows that there are important people living in it. They have long heard that the imperial court will send people to manage it. Flooding, just don't know which adult it is.
Holding a few stacks of side dishes, when they came to the next room, there were two guards outside. After seeing her, they paused, and immediately opened the door for her. They have all seen His Highness's treatment of this Crown Princess in the past few days. How good it is, I could have arrived in a day and a half by traveling day and night, but because I was afraid that the princess would not be able to hold on, the journey was slowed down by more than half.
After arriving in the room, before Liu Yin approached the back room, he heard the sound of scolding coming from inside, and immediately hid behind the curtain in fright.
"The way you deal with it is to drive the refugees out of the city?"
The cold tone made everyone in the room tremble with fear, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. They all knelt there, looking at each other. No one dared to speak at this moment. The magistrate of Yangzhou City in the middle knelt and stepped forward a few steps. He didn't dare to look up, and explained while sweating profusely.
"Return...Return to Your Highness, because the refugees have seriously disturbed the normal order in the city, and the humble ministers are forced to do so because they have no choice."
It was said that the man in front of the table only frowned, his eyes were cold, "Where is the first batch of disaster relief money distributed earlier, where is the temporary shelter that you asked to build?"
Speaking of this, everyone's hearts trembled again, and the magistrate still stammered: "The disaster relief money...has been used to give porridge to the refugees, so...so there is no more money to build temporary shelters."
Before he finished speaking, a booklet suddenly hit him on the head, and the man's voice was sullen, "Three days of porridge giving cost millions of taels, but I don't know that the price of rice in Yangzhou City is so high." .”
The magistrate shook his body, and immediately kowtowed along with the others, "Your Highness, calm down, this matter... There must be a misunderstanding about this matter, maybe there is something wrong down there, and the ministers will definitely investigate after they return!"
Qin Yan glanced at the group of people kneeling on the ground, with a cold expression, "Before tomorrow, I only want to see three million taels."
In an instant, the group of people kneeling on the ground were all suffocated. Even though they were complaining incessantly, they still nodded their heads and said yes, "The humble ministers will definitely find out those guys who are pocketing their own money!"
If I had known that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come here in person, even if I killed them, I wouldn't dare to take this money!
"Is the water in the Qijiang area dredged?" He asked with a frown.
Speaking of this, the prefect of Suzhou City also knelt and stepped forward tremblingly, "Go back to Your Highness, because... because the rain has not abated these few days, so... things have not made any progress."
Hearing the faltering voice, no matter how well-bred Qin Yan was, he couldn't help but lower his voice at this moment, "Trash."
The solemn atmosphere in the room frightened the group of people, even Liu Yin who was behind the curtain swallowed her throat in fear, she suddenly realized that the prince was actually very gentle to her.
Not daring to bother him with his business anymore, Liu Yin put down his meal and went out alone. Since he came to Yangzhou, he had to go for a walk. That Zhang Man followed her all the time, and Liu Yin let her follow.
When she came to the street, she still couldn't understand the authentic Yangzhou dialect, but most of the people knew how to speak the official dialect, but it might be that she was from another place, and it seemed that she wanted to cheat her, and the price suddenly went up. It was much higher, but Liu Yin didn't buy it. It's one thing to have money, but another thing to make people cheat.
The streets of Yangzhou are very lively, and Liu Yin also saw the standard drama on TV, selling himself to bury his father!
Looking at the group of people around, with the idea of watching the excitement, she immediately leaned over and took a look, and saw a young woman in filial piety kneeling in front of a wooden sign with the words "sell her body to bury her father" written on it, The woman looks graceful, but when she cries, she is full of pear blossoms and rain, which makes people feel no pity.
With the idea of not leaving a name for good deeds, she took out a piece of silver and threw it over, and then led Zhang Man to the other side.
Suddenly a piece of silver was thrown over, the woman seemed a little unbelievable, she immediately looked around, and other onlookers also started talking, as if she hadn't expected such a good person.
In the crowd, there was a handsome man in a blue robe looking at the figure that disappeared in the crowd. Judging from the pattern on the jade pendant, he must have come from the palace. It seems that someone from Jingzhong was indeed here.
As he walked, Liu Yin saw another kneader's stall. He felt that his skills were much better than those in the capital, so he immediately asked the stall owner to knead one in her image.
When it was over, I showed it to Zhang Man again, "How about it, does it look like me?"
The latter smiled slightly, looked back, and said in a serious voice: "It's been a while since we came out, why don't we go back?"
Liu Yin didn't want to go shopping for too long, of course, she nodded and walked back, biting the candied haws in her hand, and felt that the taste was better than those in the capital. Thinking of the capital, she unconsciously thought of the queen, and she didn't know that the palace What's going on here, what on earth does her aunt mean
Back at the inn, she didn't know if Qin Yan had eaten, so she asked Zhang Man to put the things she bought back in the room, and went to the next room by herself, but the food outside still remained unchanged, but the group of officials had already left, but Leave a middle-aged man with a slightly older grade there.
"Your Highness has worked hard all the way, so tonight, General Fang and all the adults specially greeted His Highness at the Yanhua Building."
Liu Yin was listening outside, and the next moment she saw a middle-aged man in dark court clothes coming out, she was also stunned for a while when she saw her, naturally she could tell at a glance that she was a woman disguised as a man, but she did not expect that His Highness He brought a concubine with him when he went out, so he must be very favored.
After the people went out, Liu Yin asked the guards outside to take down the food and reheat it, and followed him to the inner room, where he saw the man still looking at the official documents with a serious expression, and he didn't know why he was in such good spirits.
Knowing that she was outside for a long time, Qin Yan raised his eyes to look at her, and said in a warm voice, "What's wrong with you these few days?"
Liu Yin moved a stool and sat on the side, resting his chin on the table, and just looked at him steadily, "I just took a carriage all the way, what can I do, but His Highness hasn't rested so far, even if it's made of iron. ah!"
As he said that, he turned his head and snorted softly, "Don't say that you don't have time, I think His Highness has a lot of time to go out to find flowers and ask Liu, don't think I didn't hear, that person just invited you to a brothel at night!"
