Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune
Chapter 258 The Emperor Comes in Person
"Oh, I'm telling you, the city guards are really greedy for money, and they caught people like us just because we had a quarrel.
We are just waiting for our family to send them money before they let us go, alas."
After one of the aunties finished speaking, the other auntie snorted and said, "Who said it wasn't true? It's just a quarrel. Isn't this normal?
We were arrested, and we all know that they detained us because of the small amount of money our families gave us. They didn’t let us leave, saying that we were affecting the security of the capital.”
The woman who called herself Aunt Wang looked at the little girl and asked, "What did you do to get you here? You're so young."
Before Su Muyao could speak, a little woman next to her said, "I'm afraid the child was naughty and scolded the city guards. These city guards really took chicken feathers as their orders.
I heard that a while ago a man was dissatisfied with the city guards and scolded them. Guess what happened?"
Everyone was attracted by the little woman's words and stared at her curiously.
"You wouldn't have guessed it, right? The man was beaten to death by the city defenders. The key is that what he said was true."
The women sitting together all gasped, and one of the old ladies asked anxiously: "Tell me in detail quickly."
The young woman shook her head and began to say, "When we sell vegetables in this market, there will be friction because of stalls or because we occupy other people's positions.
The man’s wife had the same experience as us some time ago. She got into an argument with someone over a stall and was arrested.
The man spent a month's earnings to get his wife.
The key point is that his wife is still pregnant! And the fault is not his wife's, it is indeed the person next to her who occupied her stall, and there was no way they could do anything about it and they started arguing.
But the city defenders didn't care whose fault it was and arrested them all.
The man had no choice but to accept the defeat and pay the money, but he never expected that when he went to pick up his wife, he would find that she had fainted. She had a heavy bleeding and the baby could not be saved.
The soldiers guarding the city didn't even allow him to call a doctor, and he spent the entire night in pain in the cell, causing the miscarriage.
Later, it was diagnosed that it would be impossible for them to have children. So every time the young man saw the soldiers defending the city, he would either spit at them or curse them in secret.
A few days ago, a soldier guarding the city happened to hear it and beat him to death."
Su Muyao frowned as she listened to this. She never expected that the soldiers defending the imperial city would dare to act like this!
Everyone shook their heads after hearing this.
Su Muyao asked, "Don't the people above care? How dare they let these people act like this?"
Everyone was attracted by the humming sound of the baby. The young lady, who had just finished speaking, touched Su Muyao's little head.
"You are so cute, little guy. You are not afraid at all. Do you know that your family will redeem you soon?"
Su Muyao nodded.
The young woman continued with a look of understanding, "I heard that the people above don't care about anything. They basically drink or play cards every day and never care about how their subordinates do things.
As for his subordinates, they felt that such a salary was too little, so from the beginning they accepted gifts or money from the people who did the work for them.
But this person becomes greedy as he collects money. Sometimes when he can’t get any money, he will try every possible means to arrest someone and then ask the family members to pay money before releasing them.”
When Su Muyao heard this, she was very sure, it was just as she thought.
……
In the palace, the emperor was reading memorials in the imperial study when Xiao Dezi came to report that the princess's personal maid said that the princess had been arrested.
The emperor was immediately furious: "Call him in."
"Yes," Xiao Dezi said and hurriedly ran out of the hall and invited Xiao Xia in.
After coming in, Xiao Xia explained the whole thing clearly.
The emperor slapped the table and said, "That's great! I think we should clean up these city guards."
After saying this, he left the palace without even changing his dragon robe, taking Xiao Dezi and Xiao Xia with him.
The leader of the city defense army, Zhao Hu, was sleeping soundly at this time, snoring from time to time, while the beauty beside him was gently rubbing his very broad thighs.
Zhao Hu hummed twice in his dream, and at this moment someone rushed in from outside the door and shouted, "General, wake up! The emperor is here."
Zhao Hu turned over and waved his hand: "Don't disturb me while I sleep."
Not long after he said this, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat up from the bed.
"What did you just say? Say it again."
Then the man replied: "General, the emperor is here, and I heard he will be here soon."
Zhao Hu finally understood what his younger brother said and quickly began to get dressed.
"What happened? Why did the emperor come to my place?"
The soldier who reported shook his head: "I don't know what happened, I just know that the emperor came here aggressively, it seems like something happened."
Zhao Hu cursed directly: "Nonsense, how could I not know what's going on? Otherwise, why would the emperor come here?"
Finally I got dressed and went out in a hurry.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw the emperor coming to the yard, kneeling down respectfully and paying his respects.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
The emperor didn't even let him stand up, so Xiao Dezi cleverly went into the house and got a chair.
After the emperor sat down, he looked at Zhao Hu who was kneeling below.
"You are really brave. You even dare to arrest the little princess."
Zhao Hu's eyes widened when he heard this. He had never thought that his subordinates would be so fierce. Little Princess! She is the imperial teacher of the dynasty and a favorite of the emperor.
Look at how important the little princess is in the eyes of the emperor, he actually comes in person to ask for her.
"I don't know. It may be that my subordinates don't know the little princess. Please give me some time. I will release her right away."
The emperor snorted coldly. The general in front of him was also a brave general in his early years.
After he injured his leg, he went straight to work in the capital. But look at his figure, he is getting fatter and fatter.
Originally, he heard from his subordinates that the general was either drinking or playing cards all day long. He thought that there wouldn't be much trouble if he was just defending the city, so he just let him be.
After all, we know that his leg is injured and he walks with a limp, so naturally he can't go to the battlefield.
I felt sad so I just let him live out his retirement in the capital.
Now he has failed to discipline his subordinates and has the guts to detain the little princess. He is so bold.
If it weren't for the fact that the Zhao family had been in the military for generations and had made great contributions to the dynasty, Zhao Hu would have been dismissed for his lack of ambition.
Seeing Zhao Hu rushing down, he soon found out that a little kid had indeed been captured recently.
Zhao Hu hurried to the prison to ask for help. As soon as he arrived outside the cell, he saw little Naitian chatting happily with a group of middle-aged women.
As soon as I came over, I heard the little baby's giggling, and I finally felt relieved. Fortunately, he was not hurt, otherwise I would not be able to explain to the emperor.
