After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

When Qiu Si heard what the woman said, he said, "You are asking for too much. This shop only costs three hundred taels."

However, Qiu Si also reacted at this time, "Ah, bah, why should I pay compensation? I also said that the fire must have started from your house, you should compensate me."

"What are you doing?" someone shouted from outside. "You're all just standing here to watch the fun. Aren't you doing business to earn money to support your family?"

The crowd retreated layer by layer, and it was Lu Yuxiu who arrived with people from the Ministry of Justice.

As for why it is not the Imperial Capital Government Office?

Since it was Lu Yuxiu who took the initiative to offer cooperation in this matter, Xuan Yelan said nothing, just nodded and agreed.

After all, he knew in his heart that Lu Yuxiu was one of his own, and one of his own people could always do things better than others.

When Qiu Si saw this group of people in official uniforms, his expression froze.

The woman who had been staring at Qiu Si hurriedly called out, "Sir, this kid must have done something bad. He panicked."

Lu Yuxiu glanced at Qiu Si cooperatively and snorted, "You two, follow me back to the Ministry of Justice first."

"As for the other shops affected, someone come."

Lu Yuxiu called out and someone immediately came out from behind him.

Lu Yuxiu said loudly, "There was a fire at the foot of the imperial city in the middle of the night. This incident has alarmed His Majesty and the Queen."

"The Queen has bestowed her grace on the shops affected by the fire. We will calculate the losses and distribute compensation uniformly."

Before leaving, Lu Yuxiu added, "The compensation is the private property of the Queen."

After all, it was Liu He who set the fire. Whether the cause can be found out or not, Qi Wuyou will only feel at ease after he pays the money.

Last night, Liu He and the secret guards had been keeping an eye on the fire, but the wind was too strong last night, so it inevitably affected the shop next door.

"What? There's compensation?"

Everyone was talking about it. After all, before, no matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, no one had mentioned anything about compensation.

The woman and Qiu Si were taken away by Lu Yuxiu.

The subordinate assigned by Lu Yuxiu was Du Ping, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice.

He called out to the people, "Come, come, come to me. You should go back and see how much you have lost."

"I'll be waiting here for you. Come back and tell me later."

No matter whether it is true or not, upon hearing this, everyone went back to see what they had lost.

Du Ping waited there for a while before someone came with something burnt.

Liu He in the crowd seized the opportunity and immediately asked the people hiding on the roadside to carry the box out.

Du Ping opened the box with a clang, and inside was a pile of silver.

That was what Qi Wuyou took out from his own small treasury early in the morning.

When the people around saw it, they saw that there was really compensation.

Although this is not the case, this move did earn Qi Wuyou some goodwill.

Of course, the only one who actually went to the Ministry of Justice was Qiu Si, and that woman had already gone into the palace.

"Your Majesty," He Xiang, who was dressed as a woman with a strange face, stood in front of Qi Wuyou with her head bowed.

"Lord Lu has taken the person away."

Qi Wuyou nodded, looked at Yuhe taking off her disguise, and said with a smile, "I didn't know you could do this?"

Yu He didn't take it seriously and said with a playful smile, "It's always good to have many skills."

"That's true," Qi Wuyou agreed deeply. Even if Thirteen was not around, Yuhe could still do the task of infiltrating the enemy camp.

Mei Xue came in at this time, holding a pigeon, "Madam, Thirteen has sent a letter."

Qi Wuyou arranged for Thirteen to quietly follow Li Han to Kyoto.

Qi Wuyou unfolded the letter and took a look at it. Without saying anything, he handed it to Yuhe who was standing aside.

Yu He took a quick look and raised her eyebrows, "This Kyoto is really not peaceful."

This is also what Qi Wuyou wanted to say.

After saying that, Mei Xue sighed, "Fortunately, the queen left early, otherwise, I don't know how I would be tormented."

Qi Wuyou shrugged and looked at Mei Xue with a smile, "We have to thank that someone for this! If it weren't for her whispering in our ear, would we be able to enjoy this life here?"

Mei Xue nodded, quite agreeing with the request, and said with a smile, "I will go burn some paper for her to thank her later."

Yu He looked disgusted and said, "Burning paper is not allowed in the palace. What if you are caught by His Majesty?"

Qi Wuyou spread his hands, "What should I do? After all, she is our matchmaker, so what's wrong with burning some paper for her?"

Yu He was speechless. To be honest, if it weren't for her whispering, who knows who would have married her.

Yu He was obviously convinced by Qi Wuyou's theory. "Okay," she said to Mei Xue, "I'll go with you in the evening."

Qi Wuyou casually said, "Why does it have to be at night?"

Yuhe said, looking puzzled, "Aren't these worship activities usually done at night?"

Qi Wuyou felt that doing this at night was a bit stealthy, but it wasn't a bad thing.

So Qi Wuyou blinked his big eyes and said, "We are not doing anything bad, so we should thank the matchmaker openly. Besides, wouldn't it be easier to be discovered in the middle of the night with the fire?"

Yu He felt that what Qi Wuyou said made a lot of sense. "Okay then," she said to Mei Xue, "let's go now."

"Hey," the two ignored Qi Wuyou's obstruction and went out together hand in hand.

When I was going out, Lianxiang came in with Caiyun.

Seeing that the two people ignored her, Lianxiang was confused and asked, "Madam, where are they going?"

Qi Wuyou held up his chin and curled his lips, "Thank you, matchmaker."

Lianxiang didn’t understand, but she didn’t ask. She was able to curb her curiosity. However, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She handed the booklet in her hand to Qi Wuyou, "Madam, this is the list of compensation sent by the Ministry of Justice."

Qi Wuyou took a quick look and asked, "Is that enough?"

Lianxiang nodded, "That's enough, Master Du has returned the remaining 100 taels of silver."

Qi Wuyou raised his head after hearing this and asked, "There are still so many left?"

Lianxiang nodded, "Liu He was paying attention to the fire when he set it. Except for those two rooms, the rest only had sparks."

"That's it. The Ministry of Justice even gave me a little more."

Qi Wuyou nodded, "Then divide the rest.

Qi Wuyou thought again, although there was only a little money left, there were so many people in Fengyi Palace, and it seemed that they would not be able to get much money.

"Forget it, let Mei Xue open it back to the private warehouse, and reward each person with ten taels."

Lianxiang had long been accustomed to Qi Wuyou giving out rewards from time to time, and she accepted it very calmly.

Caiyun, who was standing aside, lowered her head and dared not say a word. When she heard that Qi Wuyou was going to give out a reward, she couldn't suppress the astonishment on her face.

Seeing this, Lianxiang sighed, "Don't be so ignorant. Work hard, and the queen will reward you a lot."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Caiyun responded hesitantly.

In fact, Caiyun is very content whether there is a reward or not.

My life now is much better than my previous days working in the laundry department.

There was no endless work, and the meals in the small kitchen were always hot and full of meat.

There are thick quilts in winter, and even the servants' room has four people in one room, so there won't be a group of people crowded on one kang.

If you are sick, you can see a doctor and you won’t be beaten for not being able to work.
