"I didn't ask you to rob!"

"You don't know how to make money!" Wen Yan said angrily.

"Aren't you very capable? Didn't you find coal mining business for the God of War Army? Why can't you do it for me?"

"Believe it or not, I will kill you!"

Seeing the emperor getting angry, Xu Qing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, calm down. My brother-in-law, um... Ren Hao did build a coal mine for the War God Army, so that the War God Army has no worries. It's just that Ren Hao has no experience in this kind of thing, so..."

"I don't care! I just want Ren Hao to share my worries!" Wen Yan said somewhat shamelessly.

Things have come to this point, she has no better solution and can only place her hopes on Ren Hao.

But this guy's stubbornness is really annoying!

"Your Majesty, you are kidding me!" Ren Hao frowned and said, "Such a large county has suffered a disaster, with a loss of 13 million taels. If we want to provide disaster relief, at least one-third of the silver must be replenished within a month."

"That means at least four million taels. Where can I get so much money?"

"However, Your Majesty, how much do you think I'm worth? Why don't you sell me? I'll give you these 100-plus pounds." Ren Hao said in a very frank manner.

Xu Qing on the side had a strange expression on his face. This brother-in-law was really a bachelor. Wasn't he afraid of the emperor's anger and bloodshed?

Wen Yan was so angry that her face turned blue and she glared at Ren Hao hatefully.

"I don't care! If you can't do it, I'll chop you off!"

Then he added: "Cut your two wives!"

"You you..." Ren Hao pointed at Wen Yan, anger rising in his heart.

This guy is also called an emperor? How shameless!

"Ahem...Brother-in-law, just obey His Majesty." Xu Qing advised.

No matter what, we should first promise the emperor and then see if we can do it. If it really doesn't work, we can borrow some money from the Xu family as an emergency and then pay it back when Ren Hao makes money.

"What? You're still unwilling?" Wen Yan sneered, "Someone, come here! Go and invite Ren Hao's two wives, Su Wan'er and Xu Yating, to the palace for me. I will reward you!"

After Wen Yan finished speaking, she looked at Ren Hao proudly.

Seeing Ren Hao's deflated expression, she felt as comfortable as if she had eaten iced watermelon in the hot summer, and every pore in her body felt refreshed.

Ren Hao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I agree!"

"But I have a condition."

"You tell me, I'll consider it." Wen Yan did not agree immediately. She knew that Ren Hao's conditions must be very troublesome, so she did not say anything definite.

"First, I want to take my wife with me."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Yan shook his head: "No, if you run away, where can I find you? Don't worry, I am not a tyrant. I will definitely protect your two wives and will not let them get hurt!"

Ren Hao's cheek twitched, and then he said, "Second, I want the power to do what is convenient for me, which means that no one is allowed to interfere with me no matter what I do, and your majesty is not allowed to cause trouble for me afterwards."

"This..." Wen Yan was in hesitation.

"Act according to one's own convenience" is just four simple words, but it is almost equivalent to giving the emperor the power to go on tour.

To put it simply, it would be a good idea to simply chop off the heads of the local officials, or to station troops and recruit soldiers!

To put it more simply, he can do everything that the emperor can do.

“If you don’t agree, just pretend I didn’t say anything.” Ren Hao spread his hands.

"Wait! I agree!" Wen Yan said through gritted teeth.

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Since Ren Hao is asked to solve this big problem for him, he has to spend some money.

Besides, what kind of trouble could Ren Hao cause?

The worst that could happen was to fire the provincial governors. They would be unhappy anyway, so they could just fire them. The ancient Han Dynasty lacked everything except people who could be officials!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ren Hao suppressed his joy and clasped his fists to express his gratitude.

"Then I will take my leave, Your Majesty. Bye." Ren Hao waved his hand, and after seeing Wen Yan nod, he walked out.

After waiting outside the door for a while, Xu Qing also came out with his head hung.

The two followed the guards out of the gate.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Xu Qing wiped his sweat and looked at Ren Hao: "Brother-in-law, you are looking for death! Didn't you see that His Majesty is furious?"

"It doesn't matter." Ren Hao said lightly.

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows immediately. Could it be that this guy was prepared?

But then, Ren Hao said: "Anyway, you are the one who pulled me back, you are responsible."

Xu Qing almost vomited blood. It turned out that Ren Hao was plotting against him!

Thinking of this, Xu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, nothing happened. What are you going to do next?"

"Just do what you have to do." Ren Hao said ambiguously.

……

It was not until the third day that Ren Hao, at the urging of the emperor, set out with several officials from the Ministry of Revenue and hundreds of imperial guards.

After bidding farewell to Su Wan'er and Xu Yating, Ren Hao walked out of the south gate amid their worried looks.

Leaning against the carriage, next to her was Eryuki, who was wearing a tight outfit.

"Master, this time, the two ladies are in danger..." said Erixie.

"It's okay, don't worry." Ren Hao said slowly.

"Since the emperor wants the horse to run away but won't give it grass, I can only find a way myself." Ren Hao sat up with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Qiantang County is a great place. I was originally hesitating about where to live, but now I think Qiantang County is the best."

Hui Lixue was a little confused: "Master, didn't Qiantang County suffer a disaster? How can we still live?"

"That's only temporary. Now is the best time." Ren Hao smiled slightly.

Eriyuki was still a little confused, but then she shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Her most important task was to protect Ren Hao.

Ren Hao said that it was okay, but he was still a little worried.

Originally, he wanted to leave Hui Lixue in the capital to protect Su Wan'er and Xu Yating.

But the two girls were unwilling to do so. Knowing that he was going to Qiantang County, they insisted that Huiliyuki follow him to protect him.

Ren Hao couldn't argue with the two women, so he had to agree.

Then he found Xu Qing and asked Xu Qing to arrange several experts to protect the two women. Only then did he feel relieved.

But Xu Qing couldn’t stay in the capital for long, he had to return to the God of War Pass soon.

As for Xu Tiankui, he seemed to know that his daughter was with Ren Hao, so he sent someone to take his daughter away that day, but was stopped by the cold-faced palace guards, who said that this was a hostage specially guarded by the emperor.

So Xu Tiankui became timid.

This also made Ren Hao feel a little relieved. In this way, at least Xu Yating would not be in danger for the time being.

As for what the prime minister would think, that was not something Ren Hao considered.

Anyway, the emperor is in front of us, so what does it have to do with me!

One day later, the group arrived at the first prefecture they passed by, called Beihe Prefecture.

The prefect of Beihe Prefecture came to the outside of the city to greet him immediately and welcomed Ren Hao in respectfully.

After all, Ren Hao is an imperial envoy, in charge of Jiangnan, and he has the power to act at his discretion.

He was afraid that if he neglected it, Ren Hao would take advantage of him.
