At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"Keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else." Ren Hao said with a smile.

Although there are some minor frictions between him and Wen Yan, they are not enemies, and they have been through hardships together. This kind of friendship is much more precious than that of ordinary friends. I believe that Wen Yan will not leak the news that Xu Yating is here.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the person that the whole capital is looking for is actually hidden in your golden house!" Wen Yan said sarcastically, with a hint of sourness in her tone, but she herself didn't notice it.

Ren Hao touched his nose. He was already used to Wen Yan's ridicule and did not argue at the moment.

Sitting on the chair, Xiaowei brought tea over and poured a cup for everyone.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of the previous topic, Ren Hao coughed and said, "Wen Yan, I haven't asked you for such a long time, who is your father?"

For someone like Wen Yan who holds a high position at a young age, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by ability alone.

You also need power.

If one has the ability, he may be able to become a minor official, which is fine. However, if one is young and has no qualifications, and wants to reach a high position, only a convincing force can do so.

Therefore, Ren Hao had long guessed that Wen Yan might come from a big family in Beijing.

Hearing Ren Hao's words, a strange color flashed in Wen Yan's beautiful eyes, and she said lightly: "Sorry, I have no comment."

Ren Hao spread his hands: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. By the way, aren't you going back to the Ares Army?"

Each of the four military leaders of the God of War Army is an outstanding figure. When leading an army, the absence of any one of them may cause certain losses.

"We won't be going back for the time being. After this disastrous defeat, Gu Wei will not attack again in the short term."

"Moreover, now our soldiers are well-trained and well-fed, and our morale is high. Xu Tiande's injuries have recovered a little, and he is stable enough, so I won't go back for the time being." Wen Yan said slowly.

Ren Hao nodded slightly, then suddenly thought of something, stared at Wen Yan, and licked his lips.

Seeing Ren Hao's look, Wen Yan's heart skipped a beat for no reason and her heart beat faster.

Because she saw Ren Hao make this expression several times, it meant that someone was going to be in trouble.

"Wen Yan, I would like to ask you for a favor. Is it convenient?" Ren Hao asked.

"What help?" Wen Yan asked vigilantly.

It must be a hassle to get Ren Hao to take the initiative to ask for help.

Sure enough, Ren Hao said, "Your family is also a big family in Beijing, right? I think you must be able to send us out of Beijing."

"You want to leave?" Wen Yan was stunned. Her heart suddenly felt empty, as if she had lost something. She was inexplicably reluctant.

"This... I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it." Wen Yan said with a cold face.

Want her to help Ren Hao run away with the woman? Wen Yan was so angry that her stomach almost burst, but she showed a regretful look on the surface.

Ren Hao frowned slightly, then nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, as long as you don't say it."

"Why, do you think I would tell on you?" Wen Yan said coldly, "Who do you think I am?"

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant…” Ren Hao waved his hands quickly.

Wen Yan ignored him, but looked at Xu Yating and Su Wan'er, revealing a hint of a smile: "You two sisters are so lucky."

Hearing Wen Yan's praise, Su Wan'er brushed her hair behind her ears and said gently, "Sister is right, my husband treats us very well."

"Oh? Really? How did he treat you well?" Wen Yan looked very interested, but for some reason she felt a little sour in her heart and even wanted to cry.

"That's a long story..." Su Wan'er chuckled and recounted the process of her meeting Ren Hao, as well as every little detail of their life.

Even Xu Yating sat obediently aside, listening to Su Wan'er's story with a smile on her face.

Ren Hao held the teacup, his heart filled with warmth.

Su Wan'er actually remembered these things so clearly that when she recounted them now, it was as if they had just happened.

Reaching out his hand and gently hugging Su Wan'er's waist, and Xu Yating also hugged him, Ren Hao whispered: "Thank you for being there..."

Wen Yan stood up with a cold face, feeling a little uncomfortable: "I have something else to do, goodbye."

Having said that, regardless of whether Ren Haotong agreed or not, Wen Yan turned around and left with Hongyao having a smirk on her face.

Ren Hao was a little stunned. We were having a good chat, so why did he leave?

He hurried outside and saw Wen Yan off.

When he arrived at the gate, Ren Hao waved his hand: "Goodbye!"

Wen Yan suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Ren Hao, and said lightly: "It's better not to see each other again!"

After saying that, Wen Yan turned and left.

Only Ren Hao was left feeling somewhat confused.

……

Inside the palace.

Bright lights.

Wen Yan sat on the chair, her face always gloomy.

The eunuchs and palace maids were all driven out, leaving her alone, her face sometimes distorted and sometimes dazed.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside.

Wen Yan couldn't help but come back to his senses and sat up straight.

According to the law, riding a horse is prohibited in the palace. Violators will be executed along with their entire family!

There are only two situations in which you can ride a horse.

The first type is the emperor, who naturally has the right to ride a horse, but the emperor must be dignified, so he will not ride a horse unless it is an important matter.

The second type is the 800-mile express delivery from the border and other places.

The so-called 800-mile express is a means to respond to military operations, natural disasters, and other emergencies.

A post station was designed about every twenty miles, and the speed required for the post horses was about one hundred and eighty miles a day.

The 800-li express train means changing horses but not people, and can cover 800 miles in one day. It was the fastest way of information transmission in the feudal era.

Of course, the cost was also very high. It was common for horses to die while rushing for 800 miles, and the cost of delivering a message would be hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver.

Therefore, anything that requires an 800-mile express delivery is considered to be of utmost importance!

"Your Majesty! An urgent document from Qiantang County, eight hundred miles away!" The breathless voice of the postman was heard outside.

"Come in!" Wen Yan shouted majestically.

The next moment, the door opened, and the postman, followed by several eunuchs, walked into the hall. He did not dare to look up at the emperor, but took out a document from the bag hanging on his body and presented it respectfully with both hands.

The eunuch next to him took it and then placed both hands on the emperor's desk.

Wen Yan picked up the document, opened it, and his eyes fell on it. His face suddenly changed!

[There have been heavy rains in Qiantang for several days, and flash floods have occurred. The county town has been destroyed by the floods, and the people have been displaced. The death toll has reached 23,572 people... There are still people whose lives and deaths are unknown...]

[A rough calculation of the property losses is as much as 13 million taels...]

Snapped!

Wen Yan's hand unconsciously relaxed, and the memorial fell to the ground with a dull sound, which made everyone else present tremble.

After a moment, Wen Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What is the current situation in Qiantang County?"
