wealthy queen

For princes, generals, wealthy families, the lives of slaves are indeed worthless. Buying a slave costs a few taels to dozens of taels of silver, and you don’t have to be responsible for beating them to death. Concubines are even more readily available. Gift, the general environment is like this, even the emperor and empress can't intervene casually, but Tan Yaoqing's nature is different, those beggars are not slaves, let alone playthings of his concubines, they are ordinary people, they are the ones who the emperor and empress tried their best to protect and treat People, Tan Yaoqing played and spoiled them so much, cutting him into pieces was not enough to vent his anger.

The expressions of the empress and the emperor sitting high in the hall remained unchanged, and Lan Yunchan and the others, who had probably figured out the situation, also frowned, especially Lan Yunchan, the emperor entrusted him with full responsibility for this matter. After the imperial decree was issued, he I have been paying attention to the progress of several nearby counties, but I ignored the imperial city under my nose, and the emperor and empress who were on tour in micro-clothes bumped into each other. At this time, no one should try to be kind.

"Tianshu, how is the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Not letting Yonglehou get up, Pei Yuanlie, who was a little calmer, turned his head to look at Tianshu, his tone and attitude were very calm, but there was a wave of fierce killing, Tan Yaotian, who thought there was nothing serious, began to lose his mind , Turning his head to look at his brother lying on the ground, if possible, he would like to grab his collar and ask him loudly what happened.

"Reporting to the master, according to the investigation of the subordinates, after the imperial decree was issued years ago, the Jingzhao Mansion responded immediately, and the governor personally arranged to supervise the construction of the shack. The sheltered people are still ordinary people, and everyone praises the benevolence of the master and the master, but..."

Speaking of this, Tianshu stopped and glanced at Tan Yaoqing who was kneeling on the ground, with an undisguised killing intent in his eyes: "Three days later, according to the Lord's suggestion, the shelter has formed a large scale, and those beggars can't afford it every day." The meal is full, but they are no longer cold, and they have enough warm water to bathe, and they are no longer dirty. When each of them thought that they could survive the cold winter, the governor who went to condolences and inspected it in person came from Dongcheng. The shelter took away a ten-year-old little Shuang'er. At first, everyone didn't think it was strange. After all, the governor personally built a shack with them two days ago, but after that, government servants came to various shelters every day. Looking for handsome little beggars, male or female, it doesn’t matter whether they are twins or not, sometimes several of them will be taken away in a day, everyone gradually realizes that something is wrong, and those government officials simply don’t hide it, they are not afraid of them knowing, In front of them, several people dared to rape a little beggar together, and threatened to kill anyone who dared to go out and talk nonsense. According to the rough investigation of the subordinates, in just ten days, the little beggar who was tortured to death It has reached dozens of people."

It can be said that they were courageous, and they didn't avoid people at all. He checked it out casually, and when he sneaked into the shelter, he also found that those government servants were not helping the people to spend the winter, but enslaving them. Like a supervisor, everyone holds a whip as thick as a thumb in their hands. Anyone who is unhappy will beat those beggars. Many people have marks of whipping on their bodies.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged..."

"Lan Aiqing, dozens of people have died in the Huangcheng Asylum in the past half month, and you haven't noticed anything unusual?"

Tan Yaoqing was trembling with fright, and when he was about to bite the bullet and call for grievances, Pei Yuanlie asked Lan Yunchan aloud, there was no him in his eyes, and he was treated as if he were dead, Tan Yaoqing's face was pale , shaking like sifting chaff, Tan Yaotian next to him was not much better, finally figured out what was going on, but he wished he hadn't come at all, his younger brother did too much this time, knowing that the empress loves the people, he To ruin them like this, isn't it obviously against the empress?Not to mention that he is a small Jingzhao government official, even he, the Marquis of Yongle, would not dare to be presumptuous with the empress. He is still in prison without seeing the left prime minister. Countless officials have been implicated, and all of them have been imprisoned without exception. ?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have not received any death reports. After the imperial decree was issued, Tan Fuyin did submit several memorials, each of which was a routine report, and there was no death report."

Lan Yunchan, who was named, stood up unhurriedly, which is one of the reasons why he didn't notice the abnormality of the Huangcheng Shelter. From the speed of preparation for the shelter, it is not difficult to see that Tan Yaoqing's ability is indeed not bad. There was nothing wrong with him, so he didn't care about the immediate matter, but set his sights on the county government outside the imperial city. Rao he didn't expect that Tan Yaoqing would actually be in the important place of the imperial city, at the foot of the emperor. To be able to do such insane things.

"What's going on here?"

The dead were not reported, and those people were thrown into mass graves for no reason?

The anger in Pei Yuanlie's heart burned with a bang, and Tan Yaoqing shook reflexively, almost urinating in fright, but dared not respond. Once he replied, it would prove that he really did those things, and it was not just his little one. Fate, the entire Tan family might be doomed, and Tan Yaotian who was at the side was also very anxious, but this happened so suddenly that he couldn't think of any perfect solution for a while, and talking too much would only make more mistakes.

"What? No one answered me?"

There was a bloodthirsty sneer on his lips, and Pei Yuanzheng's burning eyes swept over everyone present one by one. When it was the master's turn, he fell to his knees with a touch, and said tremblingly: " Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me... please forgive me..."

"bump!"

Slapping the armrest of the chair with one palm, Pei Yuanlie shouted in a low voice: "It's not true!"

"Yes……"

Everyone was frightened and trembling, Tan Yaoqing actually peed his pants, and the master fell to the ground softly: "The emperor has mercy, but the grassroots did not participate in this matter. It was the Lord Fu Yin who ordered the grassroots to take those dead little beggars to death." Change their household registration to slave registration, so that Jingzhao Mansion only needs to check off their names, and there is no need to report to the court, and the bodies of those little beggars are all thrown into mass graves."

For all slaves, the master can just make up a reason. If they are killed, they just need to go to the government to check off their names. They don't have to bear any responsibility, and the court will not care about such things.

"No, it's not like that, Your Majesty, he lied. The humble ministers didn't do those things. They were the ones who framed the ministers."

Not caring about his own crotch, in order to save his life, Tan Yaoqing pointed at his master and denied it. He has already started to regret his momentary obsession. What kind of woman would a man like him want?Why do you want to get those little beggars to play?

"No, Your Majesty, the grassroots dare to swear to the sky that there is absolutely no false word. By the way, if the emperor doesn't believe it, there is still a little Shuang'er who was just sent the night before in the Fu Yin's back house. Just bring him out for a while." Just ask and you'll know the truth."

This is something that will kill your head, how can the master admit it?His excitement is no less than that of Tan Yaoqing.

"you……"

Tan Yaoqing stared at him in disbelief, swallowing his heart alive, Pei Yuanlie didn't see their dog-biting mood, and gave Yaoguang a look, and the latter quickly left the lobby.

"Master, my subordinates also brought back a few people from each city. They can prove that what I said is true, and they have other things to report to the master in person."

Ignoring Tan Yaoqing who refused to admit it and Tan Yaotian who was already limp on the ground, Tianshu clasped his hands again.

"Xuan."

With a wave of Pei Yuanlie's hand, Tianshu turned around and walked out with big strides, leading in all the dozen or so beggars waiting outside. They had never seen so many high officials in their life, and it was inevitable that they were trembling. The moment he reached the empress, he fell to his knees one after another with a thump.

"See, see the emperor, the queen..."

That's the empress, a dozen or so people lay on the ground and couldn't even stand upright. Usually they would tremble when they saw the servants, let alone the two most noble people in Daxia?

"Everyone is flat."

Their fear was too conspicuous, Pei Yuanlie suppressed his anger and deliberately softened his tone.

"Grass, grass people, grass people dare not!"

But how dare they get up, their voices were shaking like they were sifting chaff, Pei Yuanlie and his wife sitting high in the hall looked at each other, facing the suspicious eyes of everyone present, Shen Liang got up and walked down, stood up and bowed a The old man who looked a bit old helped him up: "You don't have to be polite, it's my palace and the emperor's unfavorable supervision, which made you suffer."

"Emperor, Empress..."

Hearing this, the old man forgot to withdraw his hand for a moment, tears welled up in his dim old eyes, and he pretended to kneel again: "Empress Empress, please make the decision for the grass people."

As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, the voice of the old man shouting for grievances was hoarse and mournful. Most people in the hall couldn't help but feel nervous. He moved the stool he was sitting on.

"The old man sat down and said slowly, since the palace and the emperor have taken care of this matter, they will definitely take care of it to the end. No matter how wronged you are or how honorable the person who sued is, the palace and the emperor will pay you back. justice."

Helping him to sit down, Shen Liang squatted aside without hesitation. This move not only scared Tan Yaoqing and the others, but also shocked Lan Yunchan and the others. They also collected a lot about the queen during this time. The benevolent government proposed for the people to protect against the cold can indeed be seen that he really loves the people like a son, but after all, they have never seen with their own eyes how he loves the people like a son, and they did not expect him to lower his profile to such an extent. It's impossible for any official wife to do it, right?

"Thank you Empress, thank you Empress..."

The old man wiped his tears with trembling lips. Before he came here, he never dreamed that the empress would be so approachable. These beggars, let alone the empress, even ordinary people would look down on them, but he saw the respect in the empress' eyes , yes, to him, respect for life.

"Everyone please stand up and talk."

Knowing that the old man needed time to calm down his excitement and sorrow, Shen Liang patted his shoulder and said to the rest of the people.

"Get up, no matter what grievances you have, you can tell the emperor and queen, they will definitely make decisions for you."

"Don't be afraid, the emperors and empresses are good people, just speak out your grievances, they won't make things difficult for you."

Seeing this, Wei Tan and Wei Yue Xiao Yangzi also stepped forward to help those beggars who dared not stand up one by one. Some people might think they were pretentious, but they had never done such a thing in Qin State. How many times has it been done, and at this time, it is done quite naturally and smoothly, without any trace of deliberation.

"Thank you, Emperor, thank you, Queen!"

They have never been so respected before, regardless of their age, all of them couldn't help but burst into tears. God has eyes, they are finally coming out!
