Chapter 133 The Princess of Yan Wants to Overturn the Table 16
"Don't worry, father. I have bribed the guards. Before, there were too many eyes watching secretly, and we didn't dare to come out for fear of causing trouble. Now that he has become the emperor, he won't pay too much attention to us."
Speaking of which, Yuan Feng didn't come back before because he felt it was unnecessary and would easily scare the original owner's parents.
But this time I came back for something.
"Father, the riverbank in Linhe County has collapsed. Local officials are deceiving their superiors and subordinates, so the news hasn't reached the capital yet."
Seeing the look on Marquis Zhongyong's face that said, "How did you know that?", Yuan Feng continued, "The news is definitely true. Furthermore, the situation is getting bigger and bigger. The affected people are almost fleeing to the capital, and the news will soon be exposed. When the news gets back, father will have my eldest brother go with us to provide disaster relief!"
"......" Marquis Zhongyong hesitated for a while. Since his daughter said the news was true, it must be true!
But, my eldest son! Can he do it?
It’s not that Marquis Zhongyong dislikes his sons, but compared to his second son who showed talent at a very young age, his eldest son is too mediocre.
It is said that the backyard of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is very clean, and his four children are all born to his wife.
The eldest daughter is virtuous and capable, and has a good reputation in the city.
Although the younger daughter seems to be in a difficult situation at the moment, she acts in an orderly manner. Not only does Marquis Zhongyong not need to worry too much, but she can sometimes even give him advice as a father.
Needless to say, the youngest son is a natural born general. Although the country is relatively peaceful now, once a war breaks out, his youngest son will definitely be the main force!
Only the eldest son was taught and beaten, but he was born dull and he had no choice but to give up in the end!
Although the eldest son is dull, at least he is obedient!
But to go to provide disaster relief, regardless of whether he had the ability to do so, the key point was that the eldest son's official position was too low! How could the emperor send a minor official who didn't even have to go to court? He didn't even know who he was.
Seeing that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was overthinking it, Yuan Feng explained in detail, "Father, the situation in Linhe County is quite complicated. The riverbank suddenly collapsed, and it involves corruption among the ministers in the court. The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and he will definitely use thundering means to take these people and establish his authority.
Therefore, the ministers sent to provide disaster relief this time can only be the emperor's confidants, and they will also be guarded by people from the General's Mansion, so there is no need to worry about their safety.
As for why I asked my eldest brother to go, it was not for any credit, nor did he need to hold an official position.
I have 100,000 taels of silver here. You can ask your eldest brother to take 50,000 taels and go find people who are helping with the disaster relief. We can go together then.
My father exchanged the remaining silver for rice and medicine, and asked my mother to take my eldest and second sisters-in-law to distribute porridge outside the city to help the refugees.
"Feng'er, how do you have so much silver? Besides, the silver can be donated directly to those who are doing disaster relief. Your elder brother doesn't have to go!" Marquis Zhongyong was still worried that his eldest son was not doing well.
"Father, I don't feel comfortable handing over so much money to anyone else. Also, it's mainly to allow my eldest brother to show his face on it.
Father, don't worry too much. My eldest brother is kind and honest, and is just right for doing these concrete things."
After a pause, he answered the question about the silver, "That silver was the money that King Yan used to raise his private soldiers. I stole it before the incident. I have nowhere to spend this silver, so I might as well do some charity."
Marquis Zhongyong thought about it carefully for a while and found that there was no big problem.
And there are many benefits!
Although the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion was not implicated by Prince Yan, it was still related to Prince Yan by marriage, so the new emperor might be wary of it.
Donating such a large sum of money now is a great help to the new emperor. I don’t ask the new emperor to use his eldest son, but as long as he doesn’t make things difficult for his younger son who is still at the border, it will be a good thing!
What's more, if the King of Yan died first, maybe he could bring his daughter back! Although it's unlikely, as long as his family makes more merits, it's not impossible to exchange them for merits!
As for the source of the silver, that is not really a problem.
One hundred thousand taels of silver was a lot, but the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery could certainly afford it. Not to mention that he'd spent ten years on the battlefield in his youth, and everyone knew that victory was a great source of wealth! Just take the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's wife's family, for example. They were quite well-connected. Back then, the ten-mile-long red dowry was filled with genuine goodies, and everyone in the capital knew about it.
The only worry is that the eldest son is not up to the task, but since the youngest daughter said so, then give him this opportunity to gain experience. After all, even if this thing is not done well, the consequences will not be a big deal.
Since this was the case, Marquis Zhongyong did not hesitate and agreed to the matter.
The father and daughter agreed on the location to hand over the silver.
After the discussion, Yuan Feng went to see the original owner's mother and then returned to the second courtyard.
Now all she had to do was wait until the appointed time. Yuan Feng would take the silver out of the space in advance and place it at the designated location. She didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter; the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would handle it.
In the original owner's memory, it was also during this time that the entire family of the Loyal and Brave Marquis was executed, followed shortly thereafter by the collapse of the Linhe County embankment. Because Linhe County was a large and prosperous county with a large population, and combined with the surrounding towns and villages, the number of people affected by the disaster reached tens of thousands.
There is so much silver in the space, and Yuan Feng has no place to spend it, so he might as well do some good deeds.
Of course, Yuan Feng wanted to verify one thing in his heart!
After finishing the work, Yuan Feng turned his attention to the two ungrateful people!
In the days that followed, the happy days of the two little ungrateful little bastards were gone forever!
In the past, Yuan Feng ignored them completely, but now he asks them to pay their respects every day.
If your posture is wrong, you will be beaten! If your tone is disrespectful, you will be beaten!
What? The posture is correct? I still want to fight you! What you think is right is not right. Only what I admit is right is right!
As for running, the yard is so small, where do you want to run?
Don't even think about asking for help from others. If you discipline your child yourself, who else can do that? The only person who can do that is the former King of Yan. Even he trembles when he sees Yuan Feng! After all, he's also prone to being beaten...
Time flew by while he was being beaten! Yuan Feng also completed his third mission!
Moreover, Yuan Feng finally discovered that the mission was not something she could complete by beating up two ungrateful bastards every day... But it was not a big problem, as long as she completed it!
Zhu Chengmo and Zhu Rou later trembled and became timid when they saw Yuan Feng raising his hand!
Just last year, Zhu Chengmo had an affair with the cook's daughter. The cook told the king of Yan about it, and the king of Yan immediately paired the two of them together.
However, when the two really became a couple, their lives became a mess.
The cook's daughter was naturally hot-tempered. Since her mother was a house-born child, she was naturally hot-tempered too. She had few choices in marriage. In this life, she could only marry a servant in the mansion or the master of the mansion. Among them, Zhu Chengmo was the best choice.
Who would have thought that the Prince of Yan was such a despicable person that he was demoted to a commoner, and she was not even his wife, but just a concubine!
