The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

The refugees kowtowed and expressed their gratitude, their voices filled with gratitude and awe.

They knew that these two noble people before them were their hope to escape from suffering and regain a new life.

Seeing this, Hanxiang quickly helped an elderly man up and said gently, "Everyone, please get up quickly. There's no need to be so polite.

The purpose of our visit is to understand your suffering and help you out of your predicament.

As long as you are willing to trust us and follow us into the city, I promise you will have food to eat, clothes to wear and a place to live."

Emperor Qianlong also stepped forward, his gaze firm and powerful.

"I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and my responsibility is to protect every citizen of the Qing Dynasty.

I have seen the suffering you have endured, and I am deeply saddened.

I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, severely punish those corrupt officials, and seek justice for you."

When the refugees heard Emperor Qianlong's words, their hope became even stronger.

They knew that as long as they followed this wise emperor and the kind queen, they would have hope of escaping suffering and living a stable life.

So the refugees lined up to receive food and bedding.

They followed Hanxiang's arrangement, with the elderly and children lined up in front and the young and middle-aged people walking behind.

Everyone received enough food and bedding, and long-lost smiles appeared on their faces.

After eating the food, the refugees followed Hanxiang and Emperor Qianlong into the city.

They knew that a new life was waiting for them, and all these gifts came from the wise emperor and the kind queen.

Their hearts are filled with gratitude and hope, and they believe that the days to come will be even better.

After entering the city, Qianlong settled these refugees in uninhabited houses in the city.

He said to them, "I am so sorry, I have to let you stay here temporarily.

But I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to get through this difficult period."

He looked at everyone and continued.

“If there are strong and healthy men among you, you can look for some job opportunities and make a living through your own labor.

As for the old and weak as well as the young children, I will also give you a sum of money every month to ensure your survival."

Qianlong turned his gaze to the women and spoke gently.

“As for women, if you are willing to go out and find some odd jobs or help with housework, that’s fine too.

You can choose a suitable job according to your strengths and skills.

Please rest assured that I will do my best to create conditions for you and help you find suitable jobs."

Finally, he concluded: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I hope that you can live a happy and fulfilling life through your own efforts and wisdom."

Qianlong's words were warm and firm, bringing unprecedented hope and confidence to the refugees.

As they listened to the emperor's heartfelt words, their hearts were filled with gratitude and respect.

"Your Majesty, we will never forget your great kindness and virtue"!

An old man said in a trembling voice, "We will definitely be self-reliant and live up to your expectations."

Others also expressed their willingness to work hard and live with their own hands.

They knew that the emperor not only gave them food and shelter, but more importantly, he gave them dignity and hope.

Qianlong looked at them with a smile, his heart filled with relief.

He knew that although these refugees had experienced countless hardships, their hearts were still full of love for life and longing for the future.

As long as they are given enough support and encouragement, they will be able to stand up again and become useful members of society.

"good very good!"

Qianlong nodded and praised, "Don't worry, I will send people to teach you some skills so that you can better adapt to your new life.

At the same time, I will also pay attention to your living conditions and ensure that you get enough help and support."

After hearing this, the refugees showed their gratitude. They knew that the emperor not only cared about their life and death, but also their future.

They decided to work hard and create a better life with their own hands to repay the emperor's kindness.

After settling the refugees, Qianlong ordered Fang Zhihang to be brought up, but when Fulun brought his men there, they found that the place was empty.

It turned out that Fang Zhihang received news that Emperor Qianlong had disguised himself and left the city. He realized that the matter had been exposed, so he fled before Qianlong returned.

When Qianlong heard about this, he was furious. He ordered Fulun to pursue Fang Zhihang and kill him without mercy.

Fulun accepted the order and left, while Xiaoyanzi volunteered.

"Father Emperor, please let me go with you! I promise not to hold you back. I want to capture that corrupt official with my own hands"!

Qianlong was a little hesitant, and Yongqi quickly requested: "Don't worry, Father Your Majesty, I will go with Xiaoyanzi."

Qianlong thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, you can go, but you must pay attention to safety.

If Fang Zhihang resists stubbornly, you can be allowed to execute him on the spot."

Yongqi took the order and took Xiaoyanzi to chase outside the city. He rode on the horse, looking heroic and staring firmly at the front.

Xiaoyanzi followed closely behind him, her face full of anxiety and worry.

They galloped all the way, the sound of their horses' hooves resounded through the sky and raised a cloud of dust.

At the same time, those officials who did not have time to escape also had their homes confiscated by Qianlong.

These officials usually relied on their power to oppress the people, embezzle and accept bribes, and commit all kinds of evil. Now, they finally got the punishment they deserved.

Those who deserve to be beheaded will be beheaded, and those who deserve to be exiled will be exiled. No one can escape the punishment of the law.

All the money confiscated from their houses was distributed to the refugees.

This money was originally obtained by them through improper means, and now it is used to help those who are suffering, which is also a kind of retribution.

After receiving the money, the refugees were moved to tears and knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace.

They knew very well that if it were not for the emperor's wise decision, they would probably continue to live in dire straits.

The people expressed their gratitude to Qianlong in words. They shouted "Long live the emperor" to express their respect and love for the emperor.

Qianlong sat in the court of the government office, listening to the cheers coming from outside, his heart filled with relief and pride.

He knew that this action not only punished corrupt officials, but also won the hearts of the people.

Here, Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi and others finally caught up with Fang Zhihang after much haste.

When Fang Zhihang saw Xiaoyanzi and the others catching up with him, he abandoned his wife and concubine and ran away alone.

Xiaoyanzi snorted coldly, swung the whip in her hand, quickly hooked his horse's legs, and then pulled it back violently.

The horse lost its balance instantly and fell to the ground.

"You dog official, you have done such unscrupulous things and you still want to run away? Watch out!"

Xiaoyanzi shouted angrily.

However, Fang Zhihang used Qinggong to escape the disaster before the horse fell to the ground.

He looked at Xiaoyanzi with contempt and said disdainfully.

"You are nothing but a good-for-nothing woman. Without Prince Rong, you are nothing. Yet you dare to talk about arresting me? Today, I will make sure you never return."

After saying that, he slapped Xiaoyanzi.

Yongqi was extremely anxious when he saw this, because he knew very well that Xiaoyanzi was no match for Fang Zhihang.

So, he used his Qinggong skills without hesitation, rushed to Xiaoyanzi as quickly as possible, blocked Fang Zhihang's attack, and started a fierce fight with him.

Finally, Fang Zhihang was successfully captured by Yongqi due to exhaustion.

At the same time, Fulun defeated all the servants and escorted Fang Zhihang and his family back to the government office.

After returning to the government office, Fulun stepped forward and saluted and said.

"Your Majesty, I have the honor of fulfilling my mission and have captured Fang Zhihang and his family. Please decide how to deal with this matter."

Emperor Qianlong nodded in approval and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear.

We must thoroughly investigate all the crimes committed by Fang Zhihang during his tenure, as well as his accomplices, and then arrest and bring them all to justice, punishing them severely in accordance with the law, as a warning to future generations."

After hearing this, Fulan replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your command."
