Wealth is pressing [crossing]

What Shen Linqiu and the others were looking for was a small town called Yu County, and because of Lu Li's relationship, they couldn't stay in an inn. In the end, Xia Yun came forward and rented a small courtyard, and they stayed there.After settling down, Shen Linqiu wrote a letter to Jingli and Qin Haocheng respectively, and waited for Lu Li's child to be born with peace of mind.

When Qin Haocheng received Shen Linqiu's letter, he also received another news that a plague broke out in the disaster area outside, and the eldest prince was also infected.

"Your Highness, I don't know where this rumor came from. The emperor will be worried if he finds out. You should first write a letter to the emperor to explain the situation here." The people in that house were basically healthy people. Qin Haocheng didn't know how the news came about, and he didn't know the purpose of the person who posted the news.

"Since it's a rumor, why bother, it's just that it's time to settle the matter here." Solve it as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible.

"Your Highness, it's time to ask for money."

"Yeah, it's about time."

Half a month after the first prince arrived in the disaster area, he proposed a solution to the emperor. Now that the disaster area is barren and the victims are running around, the best way to appease the victims is to provide them with food for winter and seeds for spring plowing, as long as there is no delay With next year's spring plowing, this disaster will be over.

"Hmph! It's easy for him to say, but what about money? There are tens of thousands of households in more than a dozen counties, and each household distributes food and clothing for winter and seeds for spring plowing. This requires a lot of money. There is a way. Who wouldn't think about where to get the money?" After listening to Qin Guogong's words, Gao directly let out the vitality in her heart, and now it is widely rumored in the court that the emperor intends to test the eldest prince, and wait until the eldest prince finishes the relief work When he returns to Beijing, he will be established as the prince.

The second prince is the grandson of the Gao family, and also the object of the Qin family's support for many years. Qin Guogong himself has long regarded the second prince as the candidate for the crown prince. Now he naturally cares about the rumors outside, but now he is reluctant to believe it.

"The emperor would not do this." Not to mention that the forces behind the second prince did not allow it, even the second prince himself was deeply favored by the emperor.

"But right now the voice of the eldest prince is getting louder and louder. This is something that has never happened before. Also, didn't you say that the emperor is interested in the proposal of the eldest prince? If the emperor agrees, the court will immediately come up with a big proposal." A sum of money, but this money..." Mrs. Gao is worried now, his elder brother is already at home, if the matter of money causes dissatisfaction with the emperor, not only will his elder brother not be able to resume his official position, but he may even lose his life.

"Who can blame this? The only thing we can do now is to keep the second prince." As long as the second prince ascends the throne, everything will be possible in the future.

Mrs. Gao can't care so much now, she basically sent all the valuable things around her back to her mother's house, and even took back all the dowry shops, and he still couldn't keep the house after he was in charge of the Qin family's affairs for many years. , then her days will be really sad in the future.

Gao's money was tight, so she naturally thought of Shen Linqiu again. Although she had already begun to doubt the rumors about the Wan family, she had to give it a try now that she had nowhere to go.

Shen Linqiu originally thought they could stay in Yu County until the New Year's Eve, but he didn't expect that someone from Qin Haocheng would come to the door a few days later. Some people have also gone to the so-called confinement Zhuangzi, but they dare not break in because of the emperor's face.

"Master, what should we do now? Go back?"

"I have to go back. However, after going back, send Lu Li to Mammy first, it's safer there." Qin Haocheng also said in his heart that he would rush back and let himself go to the Zhuangzi where he was grounded, and they met After that, the emperor will use the New Year's reunion with his family as an excuse to lift his ban.

After deciding to go back, they rested for two days before starting their journey. After a few days of getting along, Shen Linqiu knew that Lu Li was really about to give birth. He still felt goosebumps all over his body when he thought of a man having a baby, but he wouldn't. Afraid, he still wondered if Qin Haocheng would give birth, would he have the courage to attack others.

The group of people went smoothly all the way. After arriving in the capital and settling down with Lu Li, they headed towards the Zhuangzi where Qin Haocheng was located. Along the way, Shen Linqiu thought that Qin Haocheng would arrive before them. After all, it was much faster to travel alone. Who knew that Qin Haocheng hadn't arrived when they arrived. "Young master, maybe the second master has something to delay, we will wait a few days and he will come back. You see, the second master has already arranged everything here, and we came in as soon as we came, but the Qin family The people on the side were stopped when they came over, and the second master has his own way of doing things, so we don't have to worry about it."

"I hope." Xia Feng's words made sense, but Shen Linqiu was still a little uneasy, but now he really seemed to have nothing to do except wait.

Not long after the eldest prince was infected with the plague, the emperor issued an edict to summon the eldest prince to return to Beijing. The affairs in the disaster area were almost arranged, and they were waiting for the money from the court to come down. They have also arranged things, and now they can go back to Beijing.

Although there were only a few dozen people in the eldest prince's party, except for Qingqian, all of them were martial arts masters, and there were no problems with a few people except for self-protection, so Qin Haocheng didn't have any worries.Although he was puzzled by the rumors about the eldest prince's illness before, he didn't know the reason, but after they met the first batch of so-called black spot shopkeepers, Qin Haocheng probably figured it out.

"Say! Who is your master?" Although they were fine, the guards who followed them lost a dozen people. A so-called black shop cost them a dozen people. If they meet a few more, they can return to Beijing safely. ?

"My master is the future master of the world!"

"Even if it is, you won't see that day!" Now that he knows who it is, Qin Haocheng will not kindly keep the murderer who injured more than a dozen of them.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this road will not be peaceful. Let's go on the road carefully, and don't take the official road." If you don't take the official road, it will be a rough path, and the carriage will not be able to go on the road. I don't know if Qingqian can bear it.

"Haocheng, let's divide our troops into two groups. I'll take some of the people back to Beijing on the official route. You should go back with Qingqian carefully. Remember to protect Qingqian's body and don't hurry. They released me a few days ago. The rumor of being infected with the plague is probably based on this plan." Even if there is an accident on the road, it can be said that the plague will cause the loss of life.

"Your Highness, this is too dangerous. I think it should be like this. Your Highness took Qingqian back to the capital on a small path. When he arrived in the capital, he placed Qingqian in a room outside Linqiu. I will make arrangements when I arrive in the capital. As for me, Your Highness, I think there is no one in this world who can be as similar as me and Your Highness. Linqiu once recognized me too, we all look alike with my mother, and my aunt and mother are sisters, and their appearance is quite similar For the sake of resemblance, if I dress up a little, those people will definitely not recognize it."

"You and I are somewhat similar in appearance, but in this way, won't you be in danger?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the capital is half a month away from here, and they can't stop me." If necessary, there is no problem with self-preservation, and you can always go to the capital if you risk your life.

Those who followed Yan Huangyuan were basically his confidants, so everyone agreed with Qin Haocheng's decision. That night, Yan Huangyuan quietly left the path with Qingqian, while Qin Haocheng waited for dawn before continuing on the road.

Shen Linqiu didn't know Qin Haocheng's situation, but it was always convenient to inquire about the imperial court in the capital. Recently, everyone knew that the imperial court couldn't provide disaster relief money, so Mr. Gao, who had been greedy for a huge sum of money from the imperial court, was sent to prison. As for the matter in the disaster area, it seems to have been resolved, but the money that was settled was not from the court, it seemed to be money from a wealthy businessman who had received the kindness of the eldest prince.

The First Prince is really a good person. If it wasn't for the good deeds done by the First Prince, those disaster victims would be pitiful this time. However, the First Prince is now suffering from the plague, so I don't know if he will recover.

Although Shen Linqiu didn't know whether it was true or not that Yan Huangyuan was infected with the plague, since there were such rumors, he didn't mind making them more vivid.

Since he will be infected with the plague, he must have been with the victims of the plague. Shen Linqiu only needs to move a little bit, and Yan Huangyuan's image of being close to the people and loving the people will spread in Beijing.This time, everyone didn't say that the eldest prince was unlucky, but said that the eldest prince loved the people like a son with a benevolent heart, and not only went to the disaster area in person, but also ate and lived with the victims, which is why he was infected with the plague.

"Master, isn't the Gao family relying on the Gao family? Now that his family has suffered a great crime, she dare not embarrass you this time." Regarding the Gao family's misfortune, Xia Feng is the happiest, she has always I remember how the Gao family wronged the young master and Chun Yu back then. If it weren't for those bullying people, she and Chun Yu could always take care of the young master and stay together.

Shen Linqiu didn't care much about this, because he knew that this was not the worst time for the Gao family, so he didn't feel much about it. What he cares about now is why Qin Haocheng hasn't come back? What's going on? Will it get better together? Did he return to Beijing? He has been here for several days now, and there is no sign of Qin Haocheng.
