Xie Yiyao originally thought that those officials would make a fuss for a while, but what she didn't expect was that Feng Junyi was now at the top of the pyramid in the court.

That's his word and no one dares to disobey. It's not that they don't want to, but anyone who stands out against it has been "invited" out of the court by Feng Junyi.

Xie Yiyao originally thought that the incident would cause a huge uproar, but it was easily resolved by Feng Junyi. Her confidence in Feng Junyi's strength once again reached a new high.

The Son of Luck is truly amazing!

The women in Yanjing were clamoring to kowtow to Xie Yiyao all day long, but the ones who shouted the loudest were the prominent ladies in Yanjing City.

Xie Yiyao was a little confused. In her opinion, a noble lady would not have to go bankrupt even if she was divorced by her husband's family because of her generous dowry. In fact, what she wanted to help most were those women of ordinary backgrounds.

"Ordinary people can't even get enough food to eat, so how can they bear to divorce their wives? They are so precious to their wives. On the contrary, it is the most common for the rich and powerful to take concubines and divorce their wives. Polygamy is the privilege of the rich and powerful, and has nothing to do with ordinary people."

Feng Junyi saw that Xie Yiyao didn't understand the key point, so he explained it to her.

"I see!"

Xie Yiyao was shocked, but she soon figured it out. She rarely saw ordinary people with three wives and four concubines. Only wealthy businessmen and nobles had many wives and concubines.

Women of noble birth would have a large dowry, but in this era, a man could withhold half of his wife's dowry when divorcing her. There were many tricks involved in withholding the dowry.

What's more, if she is divorced, her parents' family generally will not accept her, believing that abandoned women are unlucky and they are afraid that it will damage the marriage prospects of unmarried women in the family.

So no matter what their background is, they are afraid of being divorced by their husband's family.

"Now that all the official roads have been built, the speed of the convoy has obviously increased. As a result, the economy of our Great Deng is becoming more and more prosperous, and the treasury is already very rich."

Feng Junyi happily reported to Xie Yiyao about some major and minor events that had taken place in the court recently.

Xie Yiyao was also happy to hear this. Seeing that Deng was getting better and better under her advice, it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel a bit proud.

Besides, these were the results of her hard work, so of course she couldn't avoid feeling a little proud.

"Today, Jingzhao Yin reported an incident of people causing trouble."

Feng Junyi picked up Xie Yiyao, who was leaning on the couch in a vain manner, and asked her to sit up straight. Before she could get angry, he handed her a bunch of grapes rich in spiritual energy.

Xie Yiyao immediately started eating grapes with a smile, and then asked curiously:

"It's been a long time since the people in Yanjing have caused trouble. What's going on?"

Feng Junyi also picked up a bunch of grapes and ate them while saying:

"They are people from Linyue. They are ordinary people in a small town. Now the weather is cold everywhere. They can't live in the town. They heard that they can work and make money in the factory in Yanjing, so they came to Yanjing in groups to find a way to make a living."

"In fact, they have been in Yanjing for several months. Although they have left their hometown, they are half Yanjing people. They usually live in Yanjing and send their wages home once a month. But Yanjing is a bit far from their town, and they have to work on weekdays, so they don't have time to go back home, so they have to ask someone to send them back."

Xie Yiyao was eating grapes like a little hamster, while staring at Feng Junyi with her big round, watery eyes.

Feng Junyi couldn't help but rub her furry little head when he saw her like this. Xie Yiyao flapped her head hard to stop Feng Junyi from rubbing it, and said to Feng Junyi in a menacing manner:

"Don't touch me! I won't grow taller!"

After Xie Yiyao saved her own head, she said:

"I know their money must have been lost!"

"so smart!"

Feng Junyi praised Xie Yiyao's intelligence while rubbing her head.

Xie Yiyao: …….

Rub my head again!

Feng Junyi ignored Xie Yiyao's anger and continued:

"It's not a small matter to ask someone to bring money back, especially for such a large group of people. If you're not careful, it could be stolen by bandits. So after much deliberation, they had no choice but to bite their teeth and scrape together some money to entrust the escort agency to deliver the money to them."

"But they never expected that after waiting for more than 20 days, the escort did not return with a letter from home saying that the money had been received. Normally, half a month would be enough for a return trip. The longer they waited, the more anxious they became, so they ran to the escort agency to inquire."

"As a result, the people from the escort agency insisted that they had never received their orders, and the group of people were confused. They were clearly holding deposit receipts with the escort agency's seal. They thought the escort agency was cheating, so both parties went to the government office. After the government's appraisal, it was found that the deposit receipts in the hands of the group of people were indeed not from the escort agency but forged. Because there were so many people, Jingzhao Yin was afraid of trouble, so he presented them to the government."

Xie Yiyao fell into deep thought after listening to Feng Junyi's description. These people left their hometowns and came to Yanjing. They must have been unable to make ends meet at home. They lost their wages, and they didn't know how anxious and sad they were at this moment.

After all, in today's world, money is life!

If they don't send money back home this month, their families might starve or freeze to death.

"In the past, apart from traveling merchants, few people would leave their hometowns to make a living in other places. Traveling merchants had fixed escort agencies to cooperate with, so they didn't have to worry about being cheated. But now our policy of encouraging outsiders to work in Yanjing has led to many people inevitably having to send things or money back home. They have no experience in cooperating with escort agencies, so they are indeed easy to be cheated."

Xie Yiyao put down the grapes in her hand and frowned in thought.

"Tell the Jingzhao Yin first. The imperial court will definitely handle this matter properly. Let these deceived people go back and wait for news."

Feng Junyi said with approval:

"I thought so too, and I've already told Jingzhao Yin. In addition, I've also asked the Anbu to use the information network to search for the scammer, and there should be results soon."

Xie Yiyao nodded after hearing this.

The Anbu that Feng Junyi mentioned was the one she asked Bao Da Ting to set up. Bao Da Ting usually loves to inquire about information, so after letting him take charge of the Anbu, it was like a fish into the sea for him!

He has almost brought his talent to its limit, and even Xie Yiyao has to admit that her being in charge of the Anbu may not be as good as being in charge of everything.

After half a year of development, Bao Dating had spread his secret forces almost everywhere. Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of Xie Yiyao and Feng Junyi, Bao Dating had set up an extremely tight information network in Yanjing. The scammer who forged the escort agency's logo was quickly found by Bao Dating, and was arrested before he had time to spend the stolen money.

The workers also got their money back. They cried with joy and expressed their gratitude to Feng Junyi and Xie Yiyao for their kindness.

Only at this moment did they truly believe that Yanjing treated outsiders like them equally, and they already had the idea of ​​settling down in Yanjing.

What are you going back to Linyue for? There’s nothing to eat or drink!

The money was recovered, but how to send it back became a big problem. They were worried that the money would be lost again.

But the whole family is still waiting for their wages to buy food, and the workers are at a loss for what to do. They don’t dare to look for the escort again. What if they are cheated again?
