After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

In the next few days, Ye Wuwei took Qi Cheng to visit the abducted people during the day, and prepared dinner for Qi Wushuang at night.

Qi Wushuang joined the army at the age of fifteen. He experienced countless battles, big and small, and saw too many deaths and disabilities. However, he did not have the "elegance" of a noble son of Changdu.

He was quite casual in his actions and did not object to having dinner with Ye Wuyi in the evening.

However, he has a domineering personality and is not the kind of person who is easy to get along with.

Through these few days of "dinning together" every night, Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang have become much closer, and they are more open in their words and actions.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have your own army. Do you lead it yourself?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I want to know more about the prince."

"I went to the North when I was fifteen and stayed in the Northland military camp for ten years."

"How old is the prince this year?"

"twenty five."

"Didn't the prince just come back from the border?"

"I just returned to Chamdo two months ago."

Most people in Chamdo and Andu knew what Qi Wushuang said.

Ye Wuwei thought in his heart:

He had just returned to Chamdo from the border two months ago, and was immediately sent to a remote place like Anping County to investigate a human trafficking case. How afraid the current emperor must be of him.

Although he thought so in his heart, Ye Wuwei did not say these words out loud.

However, because it is still unknown how much chance Qi Wushuang has of winning against the emperor, Ye Wuwei has not yet made up his mind to join Qi Wushuang.

Perhaps because both of them have lived in the army for many years, Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei have similar personalities.

In Ye Wuwei's words: The two of them speak, act, and think on the same channel.

When the two talked, Ye Wuwei would occasionally come up with some modern words and concepts.

At first, Qi Wushuang felt a little strange, but gradually, he got used to it.

But Qi Wushuang was even more curious about Ye Wuwei's origins.

That night, while having dinner together, Qi Wushuang finally asked, "Who are you?"

Ye Wuwei said: "If I say that I don't remember my identity, would you believe me?"

"Then where do you get the knowledge and skills you know?"

"I do not know either.

Although I don't remember my identity, the knowledge is embedded in my mind, and the skills have come naturally."

Things like time travel are too strange, so I can’t tell others about it for the time being.

Qi Wushuang did not believe what Ye Wuwei said, but as far as he knew: some of the words and objects Ye Wuwei mentioned were definitely not owned by Qi Chao.

……

After several days of visits, Ye Wuwei had visited all the abducted people he knew, except for the large private coal mine.

Because of his understanding of Qi Wushuang in the past few days, Ye Wuwei was sure that Qi Wushuang was not a cold-blooded and heartless person, so he decided to tell Qi Wushuang about the coal mine.

But before rescuing the people who were abducted in the coal mines, the abducted people who have been investigated should be settled first.

During dinner that night, Ye Wuwei said to Qi Wushuang, "Your Majesty, how are you going to place these abducted people?"

"what is your opinion?"

"I think their wishes should be followed as long as it doesn't violate the law, and they should also be given resettlement and compensation."

"Just do as you say. Draw up a proposal for me."

Ye Wuwei handed the report he had already written to Qi Wushuang.

Qi Wushuang took it and looked at it, and found that he didn't recognize nearly half of the words.

"What are you writing?"

Ye Wuwei wrote in modern simplified Chinese characters, which are different from the traditional Chinese characters of the Qi Dynasty.

Ye Wuwei was not shy, "This is the text I know, please have someone copy it."

Qi Wushuang called Qi Cheng over, and Ye Wuyi dictated while Qi Cheng took notes.

Qi Wushuang thought to himself: Although Ye Wuwei's handwriting has many mistakes, his ideas are clear and well-organized.

After Qi Cheng finished writing, Qi Wushuang said, "I'll arrange for someone to do it tomorrow."

"No more revisions?"

"Need not."

"Then where will the resettlement and compensation fees come from?"

"The imperial court has no precedent for compensating people who have been trafficked. I will pay it first and report to the court later.

Even if the court doesn't give it to me, I don't need the silver."

According to Ye Wuwei's opinion, each victim should be compensated with fifty to one hundred taels of silver, and Qi Wushuang would need to advance about two thousand taels of silver.

Two thousand taels may not be a lot for Qi Wushuang, but it is not a small amount either. Unexpectedly, Qi Wushuang agreed to advance the payment without even thinking about it.

It seems that Qi Wushuang cares about the people.

Thinking of this, Ye Wuwei's desire to join Qi Wushuang became stronger.

"Your Majesty, I got some news today."

Qi Wushuang asked while picking up some food: "What's the news?"

"I heard there's a large coal mine in Black Wind Mountain that's being mined illegally."

When Ye Wuwei first heard the word "coal mine", he thought for a long time before remembering that it was the ancient name for coal.

Qi Wushuang's hand did not stop picking up the food, but he felt alert in his heart.

He had just received news from Chu Fuchi today that there was a large coal mine in Black Wind Mountain. The power behind it had not yet been determined. It was too coincidental that Ye Wuwei mentioned the coal mine in Black Wind Mountain.

"How did you find out?"

"Nothing much. I just heard from the trafficked people that there were many young and strong men among those who were trafficked with them. These young and strong men were sold to Black Wind Mountain to dig coal."

"how do you want to do it?"

"If possible, can you rescue these trafficked people from the coal mines?"

"You only want to save the abducted people?"

"Not entirely. If there are people being forced inside, I would also like to save them.

It’s just going to be more difficult.”

"Then do you know who owns this coal mine?"

"I don't know that."

"I don't have enough people with me this time. It's difficult to rescue people in the coal mine."

Qi Wushuang's words were pure lies.

When the emperor sent him to Anping County to investigate the human trafficking case, Chu Fuchi had already transferred two thousand troops from Andu and dispersed them in Anping County to protect him.

However, Qi Wushuang had not yet decided whether to touch the coal mine, so he could not reveal the matter of the two thousand troops.

Ye Wuwei continued to ask: "Can we borrow some manpower from Anping County?"

"You want me to borrow someone from Anping County?"

"Yes."

Only then did Qi Wushuang begin to believe that Ye Wuwei really didn't understand the system of the Qi Dynasty.

"There are no troops stationed in Anping County."

"Even if there are no garrisons, there must be local armed forces, right?"

"Anping County only has the county police chiefs maintaining public order, a few dozen in total, and no other local armed forces."

"You said there are only a few dozen police captains in Anping County? Are there no other local armed forces?"

"Yes."

"So what are these dozens of constables responsible for?"

"Catching thieves, handling cases, collecting taxes, conducting inspections, and supervising illegal businesses, etc."
