Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 427 Finding a Husband (2)
Inside the room.

King Yan, in purple robe and golden crown, stood behind a long office desk with his hands behind his back. A candlestick was lit on the desk, and a piece of paper full of words was spread beside it. There was a red seal at the end, which seemed to be an official letter.

"Sister-in-law sit." King Yan walked out of the long table.

Yun Wanqin didn't sit down, but only took a few steps closer, and stared at him through the long table: "Eight Emperor Brother, what happened?"

Yan Wang's brows were tightly tied, like unreasonable silk threads, and he seemed to be unable to speak. After a long time, he said: "I shouldn't have said this to the Third Emperor's Wife, but after all, Third Brother is your husband-in-law. Let me tell you, so that you can have a good idea. This morning, Changchuan County’s urgent secret report was sent to the palace and presented to the emperor, and this king sent someone to print a copy.” Said, the letter on the case Pick it up and hand it to Yun Wanqin.

Yun Wanqin received it in her hand, suppressed her confusion, and finished reading word by word, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her face darkened little by little in the firelight.

The military letter stated that the victims in Yanyang City did not receive enough relief food and salaries, and the supplies were apportioned to the disaster households, which was not enough at all. Negotiations, the day before yesterday, under the leadership of a leader of the people named Lv Ba, a large number of people affected by the disaster broke into the prefect's house, kidnapped seventeen members of Xu Tiankui's family, the prefect of Yanyang, killed several nurses, and even sent the office The government office and the house were smashed to pieces.

Fortunately, under the protection of the yamen servants, the prefect Xu escaped hastily and ran away, and now he is taking refuge in the palace of King Qin.

This incident caused even more turmoil in Yan Yang, the government office was smashed, the prefect's family members were kidnapped, and even the magistrate's master ran away.

The victims of the riot gained the limelight and became even more arrogant. They simply formed a team and set up a base in the empty former Yanyang magistrate's mansion to confront the officials of Changchuan County.

Although Lu Ba was born as a blacksmith, he is not lacking in courage. Now that he has come to this point, he has risked everything. Knowing that the third prince of the capital, King Qin, came to Yanyang to take office, he is now in the city's Xingyuan, sending a letter to ask for negotiations Firstly, they demanded that all the funds for disaster relief be in place, and secondly, they demanded that the imperial court guarantee that their group would not be punished in any way afterwards.

Governor Liang of Changchuan County has a violent and irritable temperament. He looks down on these ordinary people on weekdays and doesn't even bother to negotiate with these unruly people. The family members were arrested and threatened to surrender quickly, including the only sister of the leader Lu Ba.

As a result, things have reached an impasse and it is difficult to resolve them peacefully.

Lü Ba was harder than a rock. When he heard that their family members had been arrested by the government, he completely tore his face. He was too lazy to negotiate. Including the county magistrate of Yanyang City, who hung his head on the city gate in the middle of the night to show the imperial court.

It happened that several local generals guarding the city gate also had relatives affected by the disaster. They were persuaded by Lu Ba's people and joined Lu Ba's team, completely closing the inner and outer square gates to prevent reinforcements from entering.

Although Yanyang City is the central main city of Changchuan County, it is a place after all with limited troops. The largest magistrate government office in the city has been wiped out by Lu Ba, and the remaining officials are no match for the enemy Lu Ba's team, so Governor Liang and others The people hurried to ask the king of Qin in Xingyuan to send troops.

Half of the prince's armor carried by the King of Qin is stationed outside the city, and now there are no more than a few hundred people with him. In terms of number, it is more than Lu Ba's mob team. If he leads troops to attack the mob, the chances of winning are quite high. King Qin rejected Governor Liang, and he still stands still.

And if Lu Ba hadn't coveted that King Qin had more soldiers than himself, he would have even rushed to the emperor's Xingyuan. Although he didn't move for a while, he was eyeing him.

The night before yesterday, the trapped officials in Yanyang City sent people to risk their lives, Xingye sneaked out of the city gate, and sent an urgent secret letter back to Beijing.

As soon as the general's letter was placed on the table, Yun Wanqin's face became cloudy: "Didn't King Wei bring enough relief supplies? Why did those victims say it wasn't enough? Where is King Wei now? Also in Yanyang City?"

Under the candlelight, King Yan's face was very ugly: "A few days ago, the old five arrived at Pei County near Yanyang, stopped there, and sent people to escort half of the supplies into Yanyang City, but they didn't give them all. He released the remaining half, but the fifth brother refused. This is what put the third brother in danger."

Yun Wan's eyes brightened, and her voice became sharp: "Why does King Wei withhold the relief supplies? Why doesn't he give the remaining half? Does the emperor know? Where did he get the guts!" in half.

Yan Wang's face became darker and darker: "Wei Wang did this, of course, he discussed it with his father before departure and got approval."

Yun Wanqin was suspicious, and only listened to King Yan's way: "This king asked Yao Fushou today. Before leaving, King Wei had spoken to his father. Although this time he was sending relief food and salaries to appease the victims, those victims didn't know what to do before. It was really rude and rude when asking for food. He dared to gather in public to make trouble and even killed officials. Diao Lie, always looking for a chance to tame, was persuaded by the King of Wei, and gave him all the rights to distribute the food and salaries, how to distribute and how to use it, all up to the King of Wei."

"If he does this, he will kill the third master and all the officials of Yan Yangcheng." Yun Wanqin curled up her palm.

Yan Wang snorted: "Maybe this is the purpose of the fifth brother. While doing meritorious service, he borrowed a knife to kill people, so that the mob will point the finger at the third brother. In the eyes of the common people, they only know that the court does not send food, so who cares whether it is the king of Qin or the king of Wei? "

Yun Wanqin managed to suppress the fluctuations in her heart: "The number of soldiers around the third master is sufficient. Logically speaking, he should be able to break out of the city or capture the mob party. Why is it so late?"

King Yan frowned: "This king is also strange, there has been no movement from the third brother's side."

The situation in Yanyang City seemed to be more complicated than imagined, which made him have scruples and did not act rashly.Yun Wanqin pondered.

The night wind infiltrating through the cracks in the window sills blows the lights in the room misty and unsteady, and the air is filled with an almost chilling tranquility before the storm.

After a while, Yun Wanqin pinched the satin edge of her cuffs and tried her best to sound calm: "What does the emperor say now?"

King Yan hesitated, and frowned even tighter: "Father was furious when he heard about Changchuan County. He originally asked General Shen to lead the troops to clean up the mob. Lead the troops to Yanyang, confer the title of General of the Ming Dynasty, and set off before dawn tomorrow."

Yun Wanqin sneered: "The emperor has no scruples about the safety of the third master."

King Yan's throat moved, and he only let out a long sigh.
