After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

As soon as Xiao Yujing said this, the officials present began to talk about it.

"This, this is inappropriate..."

"Yes, we are just receiving salaries. How can we be asked to pay?"

"Besides, everyone's salary is different, how much should we donate..."

Emperor Chengren's eyes lit up.

Although the court has been strictly investigating corruption in recent years, there will always be some who slip through the net. We might as well take this opportunity to make them return all the embezzled money.

"Well, stop talking."

"Your Highness, what Li Aiqing said is correct. How much should each official donate and how should it be distributed?"

Emperor Chengren spoke, and the discussions below stopped abruptly.

Xiao Yujing said calmly, "Father, I have already made the distribution according to the ranks of the adults. You just need to donate the corresponding amount according to the amount on the list."

It’s just that the amounts on this list are listed separately, so no one knows how much money others have donated.

Those who embezzle large amounts will naturally donate larger amounts.

There were still officials who wanted to refute, but Duke Jiang took the initiative to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's plan is a good one that benefits the country and the people. I voluntarily donate twice the corresponding amount to support snow disaster prevention."

"Good! Duke Jiang is courageous!"

Emperor Chengren was very happy.

"Then it's settled!"

After the emperor spoke, other officials who had opinions did not dare to refute.

Murong Xiao raised the corners of his lips slightly.

He will catch the parasites that are harming the court one by one.

-

Half a month later.

The first snow of winter in Kyoto fell heavily.

Jiang Ruoli just came out of Feng Yiyun's room.

Now that my eldest sister-in-law is getting worse and worse, my eldest brother is worried that she might bump into something when she goes out, so he lets her rest in her room every day.

Feng Yijun was bored, so he invited Jiang Ruoli to come and play from time to time.

Standing in her eldest brother's yard, Jiang Ruoli looked at the snowflakes floating in the gloomy sky, feeling heavy in her heart.

Now the imperial court has sent people to make comprehensive deployments to prevent snow disasters, and the disaster with countless casualties described in the original book should not happen again.

As long as Xiao Yujing doesn't have to go to the disaster site for relief, his life will not be in danger.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Jiang Ruoli couldn't help shivering. She wrapped her cloak tightly around herself.

This winter is really cold...

By the evening, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and heavy snow like goose feathers fell from the sky.

Jiang Ci Yan walked into the front hall with a cold look on his face.

Jiang Ci Yan took off his snow-covered cloak and stood by the stove to warm himself.

The Jiang family members were waiting for him in the front hall.

"What happened?" Duke Jiang asked hurriedly.

"The defense work has been done well. Kyoto and the surrounding towns have not suffered any disasters for the time being." Jiang Ci Yan said.

He has been staying in the Yangxin Palace today, keeping a close eye on the snow disaster.

When they heard the news brought by Jiang Ci Yan, everyone in the Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ciyan looked at the slightly relaxed expressions of the family and smiled faintly, "There is also good news."

The Jiang family members all looked at him.

"My second brother's military expedition went very smoothly this time. In addition to the two cities captured seven days ago, three cities of Beixin have been captured. The troops sent by the Southern Dynasty have also resisted the attack of Beixin. It is estimated that Beixin will withdraw its troops from the Southern Dynasty soon!" Jiang Ci Yan said with a smile.

"Really?!" Duke Jiang was very excited, "Second Brother is really great!"

Jiang Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why my second brother is doing so well now must be because he made military deployments in advance.

Jiang Cijin leaned back in the armchair, "I told you, there's nothing wrong with my second brother!"

"You know this again?" Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at him.

"Mom, I fully trust my second brother!" Jiang Ci Jin said unconvinced.

"Hahaha......"

The good news brought by Jiang Ci Yan made the Jiang family, who had been feeling heavy and depressed for days, feel a little relieved.

Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Ruoli and said, "Li'er, after the snow stops, go with mother to Xiangshan Temple to pray for your second brother and Yilan."

Ever since An'er and Yilan left, she, as a mother, has always felt uneasy.

"Okay, mother."

Jiang Ruoli agreed and then looked at Song Ayao.

"Ayao, are you coming too?"

"Okay!" Song Ayao responded crisply.

Mrs. Jiang smiled with relief.

At this time, in the military camp in the northern border of Dacheng.

Jiang Ci'an was discussing the next battle plan with Yuan Guang.

Although the battles with Bei Xin have been won smoothly so far, we cannot take it lightly.

It's snowing heavily in the north today, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the ground after a day.

If the snow didn't stop, they wouldn't be able to continue the fight.

Jiang Ci'an glanced at the heavy snow falling outside.

"This snow is expected to continue to fall for a few days. It's a good opportunity to rest the army and prepare for the upcoming war."

"Yes, General." Yuan Guang replied.

After capturing five cities of Beixin one after another, the royal family of Beixin has become extremely anxious. I am afraid that Beixin will try its best in the next battle.

Whether Bei Xin can be completely defeated depends on this crucial battle.

At this time, the tent moved slightly and Ning Yilan walked in with two bowls of hot soup.

"The weather is cold, so I made some ginger soup for you. Drink it while it's hot." Ning Yilan said in a gentle voice.

Seeing her, Jiang Ci'an smiled and held Ning Yilan's hand.

"Yilan, you've worked hard."

Ning Yilan smiled faintly at him.

The three of them listened to the sound of falling snow outside, and their mood became heavy.

Late night, Zheng's house.

Zheng Ye angrily threw the secret letter in his hand to the ground.

"What the hell is going on with this Yuan Guang! Beixindu has already lost five cities in succession, and if they continue to fight, they will reach Beixindu, and he still hasn't taken action?!"

Zheng Ye's face turned red with anger, and he looked at He Mingrong angrily.

"You still have time to drink tea. This is your good idea!"

It was all his fault that he had listened to He Mingrong and placed his hopes of assassinating Jiang Ci'an on Yuan Guang. If he had known this would happen, he might as well have arranged for someone to kill Jiang Ci'an on the road instead of being so passive now.

Unfortunately, the army had already reached the northern border, and he could no longer intervene even if he wanted to.

He Mingrong put down the teacup calmly.

Yuan Guang's approach was exactly what he wanted. Beixin had lost five cities in succession and had suffered heavy losses. The Beixin royal family would certainly not have an easy time.

Thinking of Agus's frustrated face, He Mingrong felt a sense of relief in his heart.

However, he did not show any emotion and just spoke to comfort Zheng Ye.

"Why rush? It's just five cities. The more proud Jiang Ci'an is, the more miserable his death will be."

"You!" Zheng Ye was furious. "Are you so sure that Yuan Guang will kill Jiang Ci'an?!"

He Mingrong sneered.

"Even if he doesn't want to kill, it's not up to him."

"What did you do?" Zheng Ye frowned tightly.

He Mingrong poured another cup of tea and took a sip.

"Master Zheng, just wait and see..."

The snow fell heavily for seven days in a row.

Emperor Chengren was very happy with the frequent reports of victory at the border, but when he thought of the heavy snow, the joy in his heart cooled a little.

The officials who had been very calm at first became panicked at this moment.

There was a heavy atmosphere in the court today.

"What's the situation?" Emperor Chengren asked Zhang Huaiyun.

"Your Majesty, due to reasonable snowstorm defense measures, no casualties have occurred so far."

"Although some old houses collapsed under the weight of snow, the patrolling soldiers rescued the people in the shortest possible time and have resettled them properly."

Zhang Huaiyun was ordered to be responsible for the rescue work of this snow disaster.

"That's good." Emperor Chengren breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, a guard came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Qingze County that most of the houses in the county have collapsed and most of the people are buried in the houses. The disaster in the county is serious and we urgently need manpower to rescue the people!"

"What did you say?!"

Emperor Chengren stood up suddenly.

When the officials in the court heard the news, they were all shocked.

Xiao Yujing frowned tightly.

What is coming has finally come...
