Chapter 30 The crime of deceiving the king
Li Yinwan pushed the cart back home, but did not see Mrs. Xu and the others, only Mrs. Chen Yinhua and Sheng Qian were there.

She entered the master bedroom, touched the stone, and took out a scaled-down model of the house she made out of bamboo.

Due to time constraints, the work was relatively rough, and I could barely tell what it looked like as a house.

Just as she was covering the "little house" with a big piece of homespun cloth, Mrs. Chen Yinhua walked in with some bottles and cans.

"Yinwan, you need to dress up a little to see King Wan."

Li Yinwan thought of the gossip of the women at the entrance of the village, so she had no intention of dressing up.

"Wash your face and apply some oil." Mrs. Chen Yinhua persuaded her again and again, and Li Yinwan nodded in agreement.

She brought a basin of water to the yard and began to wash her face.Although the skin is a little sallow due to the malnutrition of the original owner, it is still breakable, flawless, and so delicate that you want to pinch it.

Aunt Chen Yinhua handed a bottle of things to Li Yinwan, and Li Yinwan opened it and smelled it, like the scent of rose dew.The paste is solid and melts on the palm of your hand, absorbing very well.

"Ma'am, is this your private possession?" Li Yinwan asked mischievously.

"This is the rose cream that my sister brought to me when she came to see me last year. It has never been used. I am old and don't need it anymore."

Li Yinwan's skin was already tender and smooth just after washing her face. After applying rose cream, it became even more dazzling.

She walked out of the room, and under the background of an oil lamp, her whole body glowed with brilliance.

Sheng Qian looked on with some fascination, but then slowly moved his eyes away and said disdainfully to Li Yinwan.

"You're so ugly, you're so ugly~"

"I'm very happy, because you are too~" Li Yinwan shot back.She might face life or death when she meets King Wan, but right now, she doesn't think much about it.

Why maintain a state of anxiety?
Aunt Chen Yinhua escorted Li Yinwan to the village chief's house. There were two teams of people outside the door, taking turns guarding the house. There were also several people responsible for checking visitors to see if there were any hidden weapons or the like.

After passing the inspection, Li Yinwan was holding a tray with something covered with red silk cloth.

After entering the main room, the village head was pouring water for King Wan respectfully.The burly man on the side is still there, as is the eunuch Zhou.

"You are, Li Yinwan from Tongzhu Village?" Wan Wang was the young master he met that day, wearing a wide-sleeved lavender unicorn-pattern robe and a jade-phoenix veil cap.His face was dignified and peaceful, but there was a faint murderous look on his face.

Li Yinwan put down the tray, bowed to King Wan, and then nodded, "That's the woman."

"The village chief said, have you prepared a palace for me?" King Wan glanced at Eunuch Zhou. He probably asked him to investigate. No palace was built in the village.

That being the case, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor!
King Wan smiled lightly, waiting for a reasonable reason to publicly execute the person in front of him.

"It's already covered." Li Yinwan's voice was very calm.

Seemingly surprised, King Wan pursed his lips, but his displeasure was only momentary.

"Then you can tell me where it is built, and where will I go to escape the summer heat?"

In King Wan's eyes, there was an aura of determination to win.The village chief's back was soaked and his forehead was sweating, fearing that the situation would get out of control.

"Here." Li Yinwan opened the red silk cloth, and a small bamboo house appeared in front of him, but it was only an outline, and the workmanship was still rough due to time constraints.

"Bold and cunning woman, how dare you deceive your majesty!" The eunuch Zhou yelled, and then glanced at King Wan's eyes, "Come here, drag her out and send her to the Yamen, waiting to be questioned!"

"It is said that King Wan loves his people and has a benevolent heart. In ten days, the foundation of the house could not be finished. The women dared to guess that King Wan's character must be an excuse for this."

Li Yinwan spoke calmly.

There seemed to be a rapid torrent between King Wan's brows, roaring in full bloom.He looked at Li Yinwan with a smile in his eyes.

"The original intention of King Wan must be to be close to the people. Therefore, the women of the people feel that the palace is just a formality. Since it is a formality, it does not matter whether it is big or small." Li Yin bowed his hands in front of him in the evening, and then knelt down.

"What King Wan wants and the people want is to go deep into the homes of ordinary people. In the early days of the country, resting with the people is the right way. How could King Wan not know?"

As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Zhou didn't say anything, but turned to look at King Wan.

"Okay, okay, okay." Wan Wang said three good words in succession, with a somewhat numb expression.

At this moment, in front of so many people, if he opposes Li Yinwan, it means he doesn't love the people and only cares about his personal desires.

But obviously, he didn't want to compromise like this.

"Li Yinwan, although what you said is correct, if you don't complete the task on time, you must accept punishment." King Wan smiled darkly.

"The rules are set by me. No matter what my heart is or how you guess, you must face up to the fact that the problem of accommodation in the palace has not been resolved."

After listening, Li Yinwan responded: "If King Wan is willing, any farmer here can receive him."

Wan Wang sneered: "You underestimate the widow, how can you live in this humble house? The widow has a lot of things to do every day, and the daily life deserves the best."

What you see doesn't make sense, and the rule makers are arbitrarily carrying out executions according to their wishes.

At this time, there were some restless sounds outside, as if someone was coming.

Eunuch Zhou hurriedly went outside to see, and then came back with two people to meet King Wan.

Li Yinwan saw that one of them was Zhao Jiang, and he was really surprised.

The two of them bowed their hands and saluted, and Li Yinwan heard King Wan call the other person "Sheng Aiqing".

"Boss Zhao, Sheng Aiqing, why are you here looking for the widow?" Wan Wang was a little annoyed, after all, he had already reached the highlight stage, and he just wanted to deal with this woman who was trying to hide the truth.

"The lord let me take charge of the household department of Wan country, and I can't sleep every day. Just after the war ended, it was the time when the people's hearts were most unstable and the treasury was least abundant."

"Although this little civilian woman is wrong, she is wise to know the current affairs, be kind to people and affairs, and be brave and resourceful."

Minister Sheng of the Ministry of Finance seemed to be pleading for Li Yinwan, which was quite unexpected.

"Sheng Aiqing, what benefit do you get from this village woman? Why do you want to say this for her?" King Wan threw the bowl and became furious.

Zhao Jiang and Sheng Shangshu knelt down one after another, "Your Majesty went to the Miji milk tea stall today, so he naturally knows the hard work involved. I don't dare to say nonsense, I just feel that this is a talent, and he will definitely contribute to the national treasury in the future."

Sheng Shangshu's words not only saved Wan Wang's face, but also exonerated Li Yinwan.

Wan Wang was a little shaken, and Zhao Jiang over there opened his mouth.

"This woman is indeed outstanding, and she has a lot of connections in business."

King Wan didn't speak, and remained silent.

Li Yinwan thought something would break out, but couldn't tell what it would be.

At this time, Sheng Shangshu whispered something in King Wan's ear again.

King Wan's complexion gradually recovered. He glanced at Li Yinwan and Eunuch Zhou, as if he understood what was going on.

"Since that's the case, let's not worry about it for now. The widow's younger sister, Princess Jiaxiang, is also quite interested in doing business. Let her invite you to talk about it sometime."

This matter is not simple.

But Li Yinwan carefully recalled the content of the first half of the book, but there was no clue about it.
