At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

"Elder Xiao, the people detained here are Magistrate Bai's daughter and son-in-law. You must send more people to guard them." Yu Yunxin solemnly instructed.

"Don't worry, Princess. Our people will keep a close eye on them without you having to tell them anything." Xiao Zurong nodded quickly in response, and immediately sent more people and added a lock to the cell door.

"This pair of bastards, I will not let them go now!" Hu Man said to Nangong Lin with gritted teeth. He recalled the scene when he met them in Qizhou City. At that time, they saw that my carriage was gorgeous and robbed my carriage. Later, when they learned that I had returned to my hometown, they even robbed me of the money that His Majesty had given me for visiting my relatives. It was really hateful.

"Eunuch Hu, we will avenge you later. Now you should go downstairs and wash up and have some rest! Look at you, how long has it been since you last took a shower?" Yu Yunxin couldn't help but say with disgust as she looked at Eunuch Hu who came over to talk to her.

Hu Man smelled the sour smell on his body, and couldn't help frowning, and walked out of the prison with a look of disgust. As he walked, he complained about the unpleasant smell, and secretly felt lucky to have finally left that dark, damp, and smelly place.

At this time, County Magistrate Ming stood nervously aside, looking at Nangong Lin in front of him cautiously, and explained stutteringly: "Your Highness, I believe that the people in the four cells in front of you are not the ones I want to lock up! They were all imprisoned here because they offended Liu Tongpan and were forced by Liu Tongpan." After saying that, he specifically pointed to those cells.

After listening to this, Nangong Lin frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to release these innocent people first. So, he said to County Magistrate Ming calmly: "In this case, let them all go!" County Magistrate Ming nodded with relief, and hurriedly ordered the jailer to open the cell and let those people go free.

However, when everyone walked out of the cell, they found that it was raining heavily outside. The rain poured down, as if it was going to drown the whole world. Minglang stood silently in the rain, lowering his head, not daring to look directly at County Magistrate Ming. When County Magistrate Ming saw his son, he couldn't help but feel guilty, but he also knew that now was not the time to speak.

In this bad weather, everyone's mood is heavy, as if shrouded by this sudden rainstorm.

"It's raining so hard. You all must be merchants from Qizhou City, right?" Bu Youming brought a few umbrellas and asked the merchants who had just walked out of the prison.

Yu Yunxin immediately signaled Nangong Lin to speak when the merchants heard this. Nangong Lin immediately understood, and then turned around and looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, since you are merchants in Qizhou City, I was ordered to come to Qizhou this time to open up the trade route in Qizhou for my father, so if you have any grievances, you can come to Yongning County Office to find me."

“Your Highness Prince Yu, are you going to make a decision for my Hu family?” Suddenly, an old man in his sixties with gray hair knelt down at Nangong Lin’s feet, crying with tears on his face, “Three generations of my Hu family have been doing silk business in Qizhou City, but now we have been forced to lose everything by Constable Li!”

Seeing this, other merchants gathered around and told Prince Yu about the injustice they had suffered. Some said their shops were forcibly closed, some said their goods were confiscated, and some said their family members were innocently detained because of paying business taxes... For a time, the crowd was indignant, and cries and shouts filled the rain.

"Don't be anxious, just talk slowly." Yu Yunxin calmed everyone down.

"Don't kneel in the rain when it's so heavy. Go back and wash up first. We will be staying in Yongning County for a while to do some business." As they were talking, Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin had already walked into the crowd. Together they persuaded everyone to go back and write the complaint before coming back.

Yu Yunxin heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the crowd gradually disperse. She returned to the room, sat by the window, watching the raindrops hitting the ground and splashing water, her thoughts beginning to drift away.

At this moment, Nangong Lin came over with a bowl of fried rice that he had cooked himself. He asked softly, "Xin'er, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Yunxin came back to her senses, looked at the sky, and sighed helplessly: "I don't know when the rain will stop. What about our glass workshop?"

Nangong Lin walked to the window and comforted her, "Don't worry, the rain will stop eventually. Let's go and have a look when the weather gets better." Then he put the noodles on the table and said, "Come and try the noodles I made. They should taste good!"

Yu Yunxin smiled, stood up and sat down at the table. She tasted a mouthful of noodles and praised them highly, "Mm, it's delicious! It's seafood fried rice. I didn't expect you could make fried rice."

Nangong Lin gently stroked the hair that fell on the side of Yu Yunxin's face, raised the corner of his mouth, revealed a smug smile, and said softly: "Of course, I will make more delicious food for you when I have the chance in the future. But the most important thing now is to solve these peasant uprisings."

Yu Yunxin was enjoying the food while thinking seriously. She took a bite of the fried rice and replied, "The reason they revolted is simply because they were hungry all day and saw no hope of survival. They had no choice but to take this path. Therefore, we must solve this problem from the root!"

Nangong Lin nodded, indicating his agreement with Yu Yunxin's point of view. He continued, "You are right, but I have thought of a way to not only capture Prefect Bai alive, but also make Nangong Rui return to the capital obediently."

At this moment, Wuming and the Ghost Doctor came in. They smelled the fragrance in the room and felt hungry. Wuming couldn't help but complain, "Sister, how can you be so selfish? You didn't invite us when you had something delicious."

Nangong Lin took a look, found an opportunity, quietly took out two wooden boxes of self-heating seafood fried rice from the space, and then carefully handed them to Wuming and the Ghost Doctor.

Wuming and the Ghost Doctor took the rice and opened the box. A strong aroma hit their noses. Their eyes lit up and they all exclaimed: "It smells so good. Senior Sister's cooking skills are really getting better and better."

Yu Yunxin looked at Wuming and the ghost doctor somewhat awkwardly, thinking: This was not done by me... But she couldn't explain anything, so she could only smile slightly.

While eating the delicious fried rice, Wuming said to Nangong Lin, "Master, we have already negotiated with Minglang. Now Minglang has distributed all the food you stole from Qizhou City to the people. Moreover, the situation in other counties has also changed - three county magistrates were killed by Wuji disciples, and two were imprisoned."

Hearing this, Nangong Lin nodded, expressing his satisfaction. Then, he ordered: "When the 200,000 private soldiers of Bai Zhifu and Nangong Rui run out of ammunition and food, you will have Minglang quickly gather 400,000 troops to surround Qizhou City. I will quietly open the gates of Qizhou City in secret, and then we just need to capture Bai Zhifu alive. As for Nangong Rui, we must make him escape in a miserable state." After saying this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sinister smile.

When the rain stopped, the sky gradually cleared up, the sun shone down, and the haze was dispelled. Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin took a hot air balloon and slowly rose to the sky, overlooking the land of Qizhou. They held telescopes in their hands and carefully observed the situation in other counties of Qizhou.

Through the telescope, it can be clearly seen that Wujimen and Minglang's speed of action is amazing. They have delivered food to various soup distribution points and ensured that every citizen can be given priority care and have enough food.

Qizhou has a diverse terrain. Some areas are close to the sea, showing a rolling mountainous landscape; while Lin County is close to the sea and has a unique seaside beach scenery. However, apart from these places, the large area extending east of Qizhou City is fertile plains.

This season should have been a busy time for planting rice, but because the local people were oppressed, they were temporarily unable to cultivate their land in peace. This made Nangong Lin feel regretful, and he hoped to change this situation as soon as possible so that the people could return to their normal life track.

"We can't let the busy farming season be delayed with such fertile land!" Yu Yunxin said with emotion as she combed her hair with her fingers.

"Indeed, it seems that we need to ask Minglang to quickly gather 400,000 people." Nangong Lin said as he glanced in the direction of Lin County, then turned to Yu Yunxin beside him and said, "Let's go to Lin County and take a look. The tide is low now, so there should be a lot of seafood on the beach over there, right?"

Yu Yunxin raised her beautiful eyes, looked at Nangong Lin tenderly, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said coquettishly: "Lin, I didn't expect that you are still thinking about seafood now."

When Nangong Lin heard this, he immediately held Yu Yunxin's hand tightly, with a happy smile on his face, and said softly: "The seafood caught with Xin'er is delicious."

After hearing his words, Yu Yunxin felt as sweet as eating honey. She nodded shyly and said softly, "Well, let's go, let's go to the beach today." After that, she took a deep breath, feeling the fresh sea breeze, and felt particularly comfortable.

They came to the edge of the beach, stopped the hot air balloon steadily, and quickly put it into space.

The sea here is really blue, and Yu Yunxin couldn't help but think that this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful sea view since she traveled here. She excitedly took Nangong Lin's hand and rushed to the beach.

Arriving at the beach, Yu Yunxin couldn't wait to bend down and start catching crabs, lobsters and other seafood. Sometimes, she could find squids hiding in the beach, and no matter how big or small, she happily sent them into the space.

Nangong Lin stood behind Yu Yunxin, watching her busy figure with a smile. Whenever Yu Yunxin caught a big crab or a big lobster, she would excitedly show him the result.

"Nangong Lin, do you like to visit the bottom of the sea?" Yu Yunxin suddenly asked.

"Are we going into the sea like this?" Nangong Lin asked, looking at the calm sea.

Yu Yunxin immediately returned to the space mall, bought two diving suits, and asked Nangong Lin to change into them quickly. Then, they carefully went down into the sea, feeling the coolness of the sea water and the joy of the fish.

They held hands and dived into the seabed. There, they saw all kinds of marine life, colorful corals, strange-shaped anemones, and all kinds of beautiful small fish swimming freely around them. Both of them were attracted by the beautiful scenery and were completely immersed in it.

However, to ensure safety, they did not go deep into the sea, but chose to dive in the diving area near the beach. The water here is shallow and relatively safe. They found some delicious ingredients such as sea urchins, sea fish, clams, sea cucumbers, abalone, etc., and collected them one by one. These fresh seafood will become the delicacies of dinner.

Finally, the two swam back to the shore and climbed up the cliff. Standing on the high ground, they overlooked the magnificent sea and felt the breeze. Waves rushed to the shore one after another, making waves, like a beautiful music. The sun gradually set, casting golden afterglow, illuminating the entire sea. The two sat quietly on the edge of the cliff, like a pair of mermaids, admiring this magnificent scene, their hearts filled with awe for nature.

"The sea is so beautiful!" Yu Yunxin shouted loudly to the sea.

Nangong Lin smiled as he looked at her, held her in his arms, rubbed her pretty nose and said, "You are just as beautiful."

It was not until night fell that the two reluctantly left the beach, with a lot of harvest.

In the evening, Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin set up a small tent on the beach and enjoyed a sumptuous seafood dinner.

"I didn't expect that we could cook all kinds of dishes with space." Yu Yunxin said while eating a swimming crab with egg yolk as big as a bowl.

It was also the first time for Nangong Lin to eat swimming crab with egg yolk. He ate it with gusto. Looking at Yu Yunxin's beautiful face, he said, "There is also a good wife who can cook. Otherwise, even if I have a space with so many rare things, it is meaningless without you."

"Then how did you live in the past?" Yu Yunxin asked with a pout.

"Waiting to meet you." Nangong Lin said without any concealment.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin immediately stuffed a piece of stir-fried ivory clam with garlic into Nangong Lin's mouth and said, "No matter how nice the words are, they are not as real as these delicious foods."

Nangong Lin immediately understood and started stuffing the peeled shrimp meat into Yu Yunxin's mouth continuously, making Yu Yunxin eat like a cute little mouse stuffed with food.

"Yeah! Yeah!" Yu Yunxin couldn't say anything else.

After dinner, Yu Yunxin leaned on Nangong Lin's shoulder and looked up at the starry sky.

"Nangong Lin, you know what? I think it would be great if we could live here." Yu Yunxin said softly.

Nangong Lin held her hand and said, "Yes, every day with you is wonderful. However, we still have a lot to do to ensure that the people of Qizhou can live a free and happy life."

Yu Yunxin nodded, "I believe we can do it soon. By the way, we can also build a night market town on this hilltop. Whether it is day or night, we can see different sea views. We can build a sea view house there."

Nangong Lin smiled and said, "Once the quarry here is settled, you can come and build the night market town you want."
