I unlocked the heroine's chance in the book exile

Zhou Jinran thought, if what the sign-in system said was true, then when Aunt Chunyan went to talk to Zhang Yun and the others tomorrow, wouldn't Zhang Yun and the others want to take over the entire Hujiao Village?

It’s true. The more Zhou Jinran thought about it, the more he felt that this was something Zhang Yun and the others would do. After all, their life experiences were too outrageous.

But now is not the time to think about these things. After all, even if Aunt Chunyan really goes tomorrow, they can ensure that nothing will happen to the villagers of Hujiao Village.

The reason why she thought so was that even though there were no people sent by Shen Muyun and others in Hujiao Village, there were still people from the Jiang family and the Zhang family.

Except for some people in these two families who are not born with talent for martial arts, the rest of the people are all capable of martial arts.

Of course, even if they were not there, the children and young men in Hujiao Village had learned martial arts from Jiang Qingyao for such a long time, so it would be a piece of cake for them to deal with Zhang Yun and his men.

And this time it’s the younger generations of the Wang family. Ever since they got the martial arts secrets sent by Zhou Jinran, they are now all capable people.

Therefore, with so many powerful people around, it would be a bit unbelievable if Zhang Yun and others could really cause trouble in Hujiao Village.

At this point, Zhou Jinran put this thought aside and continued to ask the sign-in system about what it had heard from Zhang Yun and others.

"Xiao Jiu, apart from what we just said, why did Zhang Yun and his men want to come to Hujiao Village? Are they planning to take over that sea area?"

[Host, this is what they planned, but as you know, their performance was too obvious, so the villagers of Hujiao Village were not persuaded by them. However, I found out through data search that it was Prince Ming'an of the Southern Xia Dynasty who arranged for them to come to this place.

He is the uncle of the current emperor of the Southern Xia Dynasty. He had started planning as early as when the Southern Xia Dynasty had a civil strife. He sent Zhang Yun and others there while the Southern Xia Dynasty was fighting with your dynasty.

Because at that time, he had a relatively good relationship with the father of the current emperor of the Southern Xia Dynasty. Although they were both poisoned by the cold at that time, he knew from a young age to keep a backup plan, so the degree of poisoning was relatively mild. At that time, he revealed this to the royal family and worked very hard to help the emperor at that time.

After all, at that time, the young prince of the Southern Xia Dynasty who had a good reputation was still alive, and he also knew that if he wanted to succeed as emperor, he must get the support of that young prince.

But he didn't expect that the young prince had already known what kind of person he was. After all, they were all brothers, and everyone knew each other. So before the young prince died, he directly asked the royal family to make the current emperor of the Southern Xia Dynasty the crown prince.

You also know what happened afterwards. Their eldest princess went crazy and instigated their emperor to send troops to your dynasty, and they lost the cities of Nan Ze and Nan Ling. The prince originally thought that, according to this situation, the position of the prince would be affected because of the loss of two cities due to the emperor's mistake. Who would have thought that although their emperor was condemned, the prince was not hurt at all and his position was very stable.

At that time, he also knew that it was impossible to depose the crown prince and ascend the throne himself, so he directly dealt with the crown prince, who is now the emperor of the Southern Xia Dynasty, and made him have no descendants. An emperor without an heir still has to find an heir from the royal family according to the old rules.

He only needed to train his descendants, and as for him, he would still be the one who diligently assisted the emperor. In fact, he was very successful in doing this over the years. After all, he was able to make it impossible for the then crown prince to have offspring, and he could also use the same method to deal with people in the royal family. After all, this was their usual method, otherwise they would not have been infected with the cold poison at that time. ]

"Then he asked Zhang Yun and others to come out early. Was it because his mask was exposed?"

The sign-in system said affirmatively after hearing Zhou Jinran's words.

[Yes, host, last time he sent so many people to Hujiao Village, you said, if General Shen and his men had not made arrangements in advance, if you were not good at it, and if the villagers did not cause trouble to everyone at the critical moment, with so many people, I am afraid that Hujiao Village would have suffered losses at that time.]

"But didn't the people who led them at the time come out and hide in the mountains to fall into the trap?"

Zhou Jinran still finds this ridiculous. After all, the Nanxia Dynasty was once as powerful as their dynasty. Why are the people they sent to do things so cowardly? She recalled what she had seen on TV in her previous life. People there could bravely venture into other countries even alone.

But the Southern Xia Dynasty was different. If she didn't know that the world she lived in was very real, she would have doubted whether those people in the Southern Xia Dynasty were just playing house.

So when she heard the sign-in system say this, she had doubts. After all, in their opinion, even if they were not there, there was little those people could do against the people of Hujiao Village.

At this time, Zhou Jinran had already forgotten that a big part of the reason why she and Shen Muxi were so relaxed at that time was because they used poison.

Otherwise, if she had thought so, then the people that Jiang Qingyao and his companions had not been injured.

However, when the sign-in system heard Zhou Jinran's words, it did not have any doubts. After all, it just said what it knew.

[Host, the reason why the leaders of those people did not come out at that time was because they knew that General Shen and his men were already prepared, and that there were people in Hujiao Village who were working with them from the inside and outside. They did so precisely because they knew this, and the situation in the Southern Xia Dynasty was indeed dire.]

"So what happened in the Southern Xia Dynasty that made them prefer to be captured rather than go back?"

This is indeed what Zhou Jinran is most concerned about. What she hears the most is the civil strife in the Southern Xia Dynasty. However, this civil strife started almost twenty years ago. Now so much time has passed, why hasn't it been quelled yet? She has also not heard that the Southern Xia Dynasty has been attacked by external forces, so that it has no time and energy to recover from the civil strife.

And even if there are external forces, they have only appeared in the past one or two years, but they have not fought back.

Suddenly, Zhou Jinran seemed to have thought of something and immediately spoke to the sign-in system.

"Xiao Jiu, the Nanxia Dynasty was often offended by external forces before. Could it be because our Nanze City and Nanling City have changed?"

[Host, that's the reason. You have to know that the things we took out from the underground of each mansion to give to the emperor at that time were probably not as much as what the officials and wealthy merchants of Nanze City and Nanling City gave to the Nanxia royal family every three years.]

"There are so many?"

It’s no wonder that Zhou Jinran was so shocked. She knew exactly how much she and the sign-in system had given to the emperor at that time.

Now the sign-in system actually told her that those things were just the accumulation of three years of officials and wealthy businessmen in Nanze City and Nanling City at that time.

How could she not be shocked? You know, the situation here has not been discovered for many years because of the plot.

For three years after three years, she couldn't imagine that all these things would be used on other dynasties. Now she felt that it was too easy for them to let those people die directly.

[Host, you should know that the geographical location of Nanze City and Nanling City is very special. It is very easy for those officials and wealthy businessmen to make money. Therefore, they provided these to the Nanxia Dynasty before, and the Nanxia Dynasty naturally reduced a lot of burden in this regard. Now that you have arrived, the situation has changed significantly. In addition, the small dynasties around the Nanxia Dynasty are pressing forward step by step. Aren’t they panicking? ]

"So were all the previous things given to the Southern Xia Dynasty, or to that prince?"

The reason why Zhou Jinran asked this was because she knew what was hidden in the valley, and the prince alone could not do it.

The sign-in system did not expect that its host would quickly associate this with the point, so he spoke up.

[Half of the things given by the officials and wealthy businessmen at that time did go into the prince’s pocket, after all, he was the one in charge at the time.]

Zhou Jinran couldn't understand why those officials and wealthy businessmen did this. If you said that they were simply pursuing fame and fortune and wanted to make money for themselves and their descendants, then she had nothing to say.

After all, this situation is very common no matter where you are.

But these people are not like this. They actually collected wealth from their own dynasty and gave it to another dynasty, and that dynasty had once been at war with their own dynasty. This is something that no one with a normal mind would do.

If she hadn't known that after Nan Ze City and Nan Ling City were given to them by the Nan Xia Dynasty, their emperor arranged for all the Nan Xia people in the two cities to be sent to the Nan Xia Dynasty, she would have suspected that those wealthy businessmen and officials were once Nan Xia people.

It’s just that even the sign-in system doesn’t understand why this happens.

Because even its system cannot understand what is going on in those people's minds.

However, because he knew this, Zhou Jinran didn't have any psychological burden about Jiang Qingyao and the others going to get the things in the valley.

After all, it originally belonged to their dynasty. Even if some of it belonged to the prince, in her opinion, it might not be enough to repay what the officials and wealthy businessmen gave at that time.

Now that the matter had been sorted out for the time being, Zhou Jinran was about to move on to other things. However, before she could ask her own question, the sign-in system spoke first.

[Host, do you think your emperor is short of money again?]

The words in the sign-in system jumped too fast and Zhou Jinran couldn't keep up for a while, but soon she reacted.

"How is this possible? Not only has he not used up all the money we gave him, but the taxes that merchants pay every year are huge!"

Zhou Jinran was very clear about this. After all, their dynasty did not ban business, nor did it suppress merchants, so the scale of business in their dynasty was still very large.

Moreover, apart from within their dynasty, they did not close the channels for doing business with the outside world, and the money they earned from doing business with foreign countries was even greater.

Although the court provided generous salaries and rewards to officials, it was not yet the end of its rope.

She had never heard anyone talk about this.

So she was still a little shocked when the sign-in system said this.

However, Zhou Jinran also thought it through clearly at this time. Next time when she goes out, she will never do the same as last time and not let the sign-in system say anything.

After all, the lesson this time was enough. She didn't want to experience this feeling of not knowing anything a second time.

Although nothing major happened this time that would delay subsequent events, but sometimes who can say for sure?

So Zhou Jinran made up his mind at this time that after going out, he would continue to pay attention to the things here.

After hearing Zhou Jinran's answer, the sign-in system directly gave the data to Zhou Jinran and then said.

[Host, if your emperor was not short of money, why would he ask you exiled people to make up for the misappropriated disaster relief money?]

"when did it happen?"

[It was when your brother followed me into the capital last time. Even the Li family, who were no longer in Hujiao Village, were notified. Your emperor even asked your brother to be in charge of this matter.]

"Then what the emperor seized from his property, isn't that considered repayment?"

[Your emperor said that if that was considered as compensation, then wouldn’t there be more people who wanted to commit crimes in the future? So in order to teach these people a lesson, he decided to let them all do this, not just you, but also the other exiled people. Whatever crime they committed at the time, they had to do something else to compensate.]

"His idea is quite novel, but it's a pity for those who are left behind now. They didn't enjoy the happiness at that time, but they still have to share the suffering."

[Nothing can be done, but they are still alive now, which is good enough. As for the money, I believe that after so long, they can pay it back. It’s just that the Jiang family may still have some difficulties. After all, they spent a lot of time, energy and money to appease those who were offended by their Jiang family in the past.]

"It's still necessary to pay it back even if it's difficult. After all, who made them commit the crime in the first place? Come to think of it, what did those people from the Zhou family who stayed behind say when they received the news? Xiaojiu, do you know?"

[Host, your brother is now the patriarch of the Zhou family. In addition, the life they have now is all due to your help. What can they say? Even if there are a few who are reluctant, they have been controlled by others before they can make trouble in front of your brother. Therefore, the Zhou family has already prepared the money.]

After hearing this, Zhou Jinran finally understood why the emperor asked her brother to do this.

I think the emperor is very familiar with the situation here, otherwise he would not do this.

After all, when they first arrived at Hujiao Village, she and her brother played a very important role in helping this group of exiles quickly settle down in the village.

That's it. Those exiled families have to remember this favor, so if her brother does this, there will be much less resistance.
