At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 206: Qizhou Riot
Back in the guest room, Nangong Lin was still resting, Yu Yunxin gently closed the door, not wanting to disturb him. So, she decided to go to the kitchen and cook a delicious meal for everyone.
When Yu Yunxin walked into the kitchen, Erhu was so frightened that his face turned pale when he learned that the princess was going to cook for her. He immediately rushed to help with several guards: "Princess, you don't have to cook for us! If the prince knew, he would definitely beat us to death. Let the brothers do it!"
Yu Yunxin smiled at their sincere expressions and said to them, "Okay, I'll teach you how to cook. I'll cook for the prince and I myself."
Erhu nodded and said to Yun Xin, "Okay, Princess."
Yu Yunxin taught them how to cook rice, how to stir-fry vegetables, and told them the appropriate amount of seasoning to use.
Soon a sumptuous meal was ready, and Yu Yunxin brought her and Nangong Lin's portions to the room.
As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, Wuming came in smelling the fragrance.
Wuming smiled and said to Yun Xin: "Senior Sister, have you forgotten me?"
Yu Yunxin looked at Wuming and asked in confusion: "I haven't seen you all day. Where have you been?"
After saying that, Yu Yunxin looked at the little tiger on the ground again and found that it was acting coquettishly at her feet.
Wuming touched his head and said to Yunxin embarrassedly: "I was too tired last night. I need to sleep so that I can grow taller. I slept for a whole day. Isn't it because I am hungry that I came to you?"
"Okay, then I'll make one for each of you!" After saying that, Yu Yunxin quickly took action and busily prepared various ingredients. In a short while, three pots of tempting and fragrant crispy meat were fried golden and crispy by her, and then came out of the pot; followed by three servings of fragrant egg fried rice and a bowl of delicious fish soup that condensed the results of her and Qiu Shuang's careful selection of fish bones. In addition, the innkeeper did not have many vegetables left, but she cleverly used the resources in the space to carefully stir-fry two delicious vegetable dishes for dozens of guards, and paired them with several hearty meat dishes.
Wuming and Qiu Shuang were the first to enjoy this feast in the lobby of the inn. Yu Yunxin carefully brought all the dishes into the room, gently opened the door, and found that Nangong Lin was still sleeping. She quietly walked to the bed, gently picked up a piece of crispy meat, and gently placed it on Nangong Lin's lips.
Suddenly, Nangong Lin smelled an alluring fragrance. He opened his eyes abruptly and asked in surprise, "Did you make all these by yourself?"
"Yes, but Qizhou has been sealed off. What should we do next?" Yu Yunxin asked with concern while carefully observing Nangong Lin's reaction.
"Let's fill our stomachs first before talking about other things." Nangong Lin replied with a smile. Then, he slowly sat up, took the chopsticks from Yu Yunxin's hand, picked up a piece of crispy meat, and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.
"Well, it tastes really good!" Nangong Lin nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Yu Yunxin and said, "As long as it is cooked by you, Xin'er, I will love every dish. Come on, let's enjoy this delicious meal together." As he said that, he picked up another piece of crispy meat and put it into Yu Yunxin's bowl, with a gleam in his eyes.
After the meal, Yun Xin excitedly told Nangong Lin everything she had gained that day.
"This time, Nangong Rui and Concubine Bai actually ran to Qizhou together? This is really interesting." Nangong Lin raised his eyebrows, a smile flashed in his eyes, "It seems that if the uprising in Yongning County is known by the emperor, Xin'er, how do you think the emperor will punish Nangong Rui?"
"Humph, a peasant riot occurred in my own fiefdom, this is a serious crime!" Yu Yunxin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, "However, in this way, we can use this opportunity to make the matter bigger and let everyone know about it. When the time comes, I want to see how Nangong Rui can still protect that hateful Governor Bai!"
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.
"Who!" Nangong Lin looked outside the door vigilantly and asked in a low voice.
"Wulian Tianzun... It's me. I passed by this place and saw dragon energy surrounding it, so I followed the dragon energy and came here." An old voice came from outside the door.
Nangong Lin frowned and muttered to himself, "Strange, why would a Taoist come here?"
Just as he was puzzled, he heard a familiar laughter coming from outside the door.
"Haha, senior sister, it's our old master here! He's disguised as an experienced Taoist again, so don't be fooled by him." Wuming's voice came from outside the door with a hint of ridicule.
Then, Wuming grabbed the ghost doctor and laughed: "Haha, Master, stop pretending. I know it's you. Don't try to fool a child! Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Lin walked over and opened the door, only to see a man wearing an old Taoist robe with several holes in it, and a tuft of white beard, which matched perfectly with his white hair.
When the ghost doctor saw the door open, he walked in and sat cross-legged. Wuming followed him in.
"Master, please stop pretending. You are still pretending." Wuming said.
"Where did you catch this little tiger?" The ghost doctor asked after taking a look at the little tiger that followed in and went to Yu Yunxin's side.
"We rescued the mother of this tiger, so she gave this little tiger to us, and also gave us three pairs of velvet antlers and a pair of antlers," Yu Yunxin replied.
"I came here this time to take a look at the situation in Qizhou provincial capital." said the ghost doctor.
"Master, what's going on in Yongning County? One moment you're in jail, and the next moment there's a peasant uprising?" Yu Yunxin asked.
The ghost doctor smiled and said slowly: "Haha, that's all part of my plan! Going to jail is to get closer to that corrupt official and understand his deeds; and the peasant uprising is to seek justice for the people."
Yu Yunxin nodded in sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is, Master, you are really amazing! But what are you doing in Qizhou Prefecture now?"
The ghost doctor touched his chin, his eyes became serious: "There is a big problem here that needs to be solved. You know, the officials in Qizhou are seriously corrupt and the people are living in poverty. I have to find a way to deal with them."
Yu Yunxin frowned: "Is it so serious? Then what are you going to do, Master?"
The ghost doctor smiled mysteriously: "Don't be anxious, when the time is right, I will let you know my plan. Before that, you must prepare well." After saying that, he looked at Wuming, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
"When I entered Qizhou City with the cart of grain you gave me, I was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate, and all the grain on my cart was confiscated. They said that only people from the Bai family could bring grain into the city. At that time, I didn't say much to them, and turned around and drove the carriage to Yongning County. I thought I would wait until night to steal some grain from the government office's warehouse and then send it to the village that the tomb robber mentioned. Who knew that as soon as I entered, I met another person who wanted to steal the grain from the county government like me, so the two of us fought, and we were accidentally discovered by someone, and that person was actually The county magistrate's son, we were all imprisoned in the cell. I was planning to ask you to come and rescue me, so I sent you a message. I didn't expect that the county magistrate's son was really capable and actually dug a hole in the cell. Then I followed him out of the hole. Next, we led the villagers who were about to starve to death to rob the food in the government office, but there was not much food there. The most was from the Bai family's rice shop. Since we have already done it on the first day, let's just do it on the fifteenth day. Let's just go all out and rob all the Bai family's rice shops in Yongning County!"
"Who knew that the Bai family had a carrier pigeon flying to the prefectural capital? Now in Yongning County, it is Master Ming who has led the people in the city to prepare for defense. He has also evenly distributed the good farmland to all the people in the city."
"What!" Hearing this news, Nangong Lin's face changed drastically. He widened his eyes, showing an expression of shock and disbelief. His brows were furrowed, his lips were pursed, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry and tension.
"If the prefect reports this to the court, my father will probably send troops to suppress him. Why don't you stop them?" Nangong Lin asked anxiously, his voice filled with obvious worry and uneasiness.
"I stopped you?" The ghost doctor sneered, a look of disdain appeared on his face, and anger flashed in his eyes. He stared at Nangong Lin, questioning in his tone: "The Bai family doesn't take human life seriously. Have you seen those villagers who eat their own children? They eat tree bark and leaves. Who would resist if they were not forced to have no other way out? Do you princes who are so high and mighty take the people seriously?"
The ghost doctor stared at Nangong Lin with a sharp gaze, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his soul. His voice was as loud as a bell, making people's ears buzz and making people feel shocked.
Nangong Lin was speechless after hearing the ghost doctor's question. His face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes showed a trace of guilt and self-blame, but more of it was anger towards the Bai family's actions.
"The Bai family has gone too far. Nangong Lin, you should write a secret letter to father and tell him everything here." Yu Yunxin said angrily.
"I have sent out more than a hundred spies. When they come back, they will give me news about the six counties in Qizhou. I will definitely write a secret letter to my father and tell him all the situations here." Nangong Lin said.
"Okay, Wuming, come with me to the Bai family in the middle of the night and steal all the rice, grain and money from their family?" The ghost doctor looked at Wuming and said.
"Master, aren't you afraid of the assassins from Yuelin Pavilion?" Yu Yunxin looked at Wuming worriedly and said, "If you go alone, don't bring Junior Brother with you."
"Are you kidding? I can go to the General's Mansion and enter without a trace. What are the Bai family and Yueling Pavilion?" Ghost Doctor Bufanqi said.
When everyone went out, they saw that the courtyard of the inn was soon filled with people in black standing there in unison. The ghost doctor was about to take out the dust in his hand.
"Sir, we meet again!" said a man in black.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" asked the ghost doctor.
"We are Prince Yu's secret guards!" said the man in black.
As they spoke, the men in black drew their weapons and rushed towards the ghost doctor. The ghost doctor sneered, and his figure flashed and disappeared in an instant. The men in black were stunned and looked around for the ghost doctor. Suddenly, the ghost doctor appeared behind a man in black, and waved the whisk in his hand, and the man in black fell to the ground. Seeing this, the other men in black surrounded him. The ghost doctor was not afraid at all, and waved the whisk in his hand vigorously, knocking the men in black to the ground one by one.
Nangong Lin walked out calmly, "Senior, stop it. You have all worked hard. The king and the princess have prepared some dinner for you. After you are full, can you tell me about the situation in Qizhou?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess." Everyone responded in unison.
Not long after, a dozen people came to the inn, led by Yunshan, Yanluo, Aoxue and others. They were all dressed in men's clothes, carrying a steel umbrella on their backs, which looked like a huge knife on their backs from a distance.
"Sisters, please come in." Qiu Shuang greeted them with a smile and said enthusiastically.
Yu Yunxin turned around and glanced at the ghost doctor, only to see his torn robes. She couldn't help but frown and said, "Master, do you want to go to Junior Brother's room and change into new clothes?"
The ghost doctor replied nonchalantly: "Okay, give me a black Taoist robe tonight, and also prepare a set of Taoist robes for the Liangyi Sect Leader."
Yu Yunxin shook her head helplessly and said jokingly, "Master, why don't you just shave your head and I'll find you a glass crystal robe to wear."
The ghost doctor glared at her and said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense! Just prepare a nightgown for me." After that, he walked straight into Wuming's room.
Yu Yunxin came to the hall and listened to the news about Qizhou that Nangong Lin's secret guards and the people from Yanyu Manor had inquired about. It was basically the same as what he had heard during the day. In addition to these, some villagers from other counties have now secretly taken refuge in Yongning County. Now the food in Yongning County may not last for more than ten days.
"It looks like the people in Yongning County are going to start causing trouble again!" Yu Yunxin sighed.
"Yes, so the issue in Yongning County must be resolved as soon as possible." Nangong Lin said with a frown.
"I have asked the secret agents to deliver the news they received directly to the imperial palace in the capital." Nangong Lin said and waved his hand to signal the secret guards to leave.
"Didn't the Qizhou prefect write to his superiors to ask for help regarding the riot in Yongning County?" Yu Yunxin asked doubtfully.
"No, we have been keeping an eye on the government office for a whole day and haven't seen any movement. The Second Prince is almost running to Qizhou City." The secret guard replied respectfully.
"That means he wants to suppress this matter!" Yu Yunxin analyzed after thinking for a moment.
"Very likely!" Nangong Lin nodded in agreement.
"You guys continue to keep an eye on the government office and report to me any situation at any time. By the way, is there any news about Eunuch Hu Man?" Nangong Lin suddenly asked after a moment's silence.
"Eunuch Hu and the people of the Hu family were imprisoned in the Yong'an County Government. It was they who wanted to buy the Bai family's manor, so the Bai family withheld their money and people." said the spy.
"The Bai family is so cruel!" Yu Yunxin sighed.
"This is good so that Eunuch Hu won't be in danger." Nangong Lin said.
