The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Han Qingyun was stunned. The Yan family acquired all their assets after arriving in Luocheng. If they were to sell them now, it would be a huge loss.

“My second uncle said that when Emperor Huiren was in power, Luo City was much better than it is now.

In recent years, nothing has changed on the surface, but in reality, various additional taxes and the cost of paying tribute to officials have become increasingly high, and business is far less good than before.

He stayed in Los Angeles for many years and the situation was relatively good, but many of his friends and business partners have left Los Angeles.

If it weren't for the spices and jewelry that Brother Fugui brought back, our Huibao Pavilion wouldn't have been able to survive. And Mingxianglou and Qianbaiwei Food Court, those two shops are very profitable, and that's how we were able to establish ourselves in the east of the city.

But my father and my second uncle both said that this kind of life would not last long. It was said that the emperor had already asked the Ministry of Revenue to find a way to enrich the national treasury.

What else can the Ministry of Revenue do? It can only continue to make up excuses and increase taxes.

Huibao Pavilion, Mingxiang Tower and Qianbaiwei have long been targeted by people. If there were no one helping them behind the scenes, they would have been occupied by others long ago.

Qingyun, is the person behind this related to Prince Lin's Mansion?"

Han Qingyun didn't expect that the Yan family would actually think of this.

"Why do you say that?"

“My second uncle said that officials in the capital are all motivated by profit. Some officials who followed Emperor Huiren in his early years would not take the initiative to infringe upon the people, but under the current trend, they will definitely not take the initiative to help the people and offend their colleagues.

My second uncle has met your housekeeper Lu. They are from Prince Lin's Mansion, right?"

Han Qingyun nodded solemnly and briefly told Yan Shian about the affairs of Li Ji Yahang and Ji'an School.

Tears flickered in Yan Shian's eyes. He also knew about the affairs of Ji'an School. In the early years, his second uncle often donated money and property to Ji'an School.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, my second uncle was afraid of attracting attention, so he didn't dare to go there again in the past few years.

"A few years ago, Huzhou Prefecture suffered a devastating disaster, and the people fled to Luocheng, where they looted and vandalized the city. The situation was dire. The court officials were ineffective in providing disaster relief, and Emperor Huiren scolded them.

Later, King Lin organized aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen in Luocheng to build resettlement homes for the victims. The victims had a place to live, and peace finally settled down.

It was at that time that my second uncle met Butler Lu. Prince Lin could only stay in the capital for three months each year, and the follow-up work of disaster relief was under the charge of Butler Lu. My second uncle had a very good impression of him.

Qingyun, you are so lucky! Not only did you buy a capable servant, but you also found a backer for our family."

Han Qingyun looked at Yan Shian's envious eyes and smiled bitterly.

He had no intention of having anything to do with Prince Lin's Mansion at that time. Even after buying out the Lu family for a long time, he and Yanyan were still very entangled.

After Yan Shi'an envied Han Qingyun's good luck, he began to worry again. After Li Jixin and the others left this time, no one would be able to help them if they encountered difficulties in the future.

Han Qingyun patted Yan Shian on the shoulder and fell into deep thought.

Tonight, all the ministers were summoned to the Taiji Hall to discuss countermeasures...

On the second day, when everyone was wondering when Li Jixin would take the Empress Dowager and others away, another piece of news came - an extra round in the ring match.

Because of Li Jixin's poisoning and the Jingzhao Yin blunder, one day of the ten-day competition was actually wasted, so an extra day had to be added.

As soon as Prince Qing received the news, he stood on a high platform and cursed at the palace, attracting many people to watch.

"Li Zhaocai, you are such a traitor, such a jerk..."

Before he finished cursing "son of a bastard", Prince Qing changed his words in time. If Li Zhaocai was a bastard, then he and his eldest brother were also bastards. He couldn't curse them like that.

"You're a scoundrel who cheats the world and steals reputation. I've known since you were little that you're not a good person. When you grow up, you're not even worth a damn."

……

"You've had evil intentions since you were little. All you do all day is plot to harm me and my eldest brother. You're full of evil intentions, and your mother..."

Prince Qing cursed until his mouth was dry, but he cursed with all his might. He wanted to expose all the scandals between Li Zhaocai and Concubine Chen.

But before he could say the following words, several arrows flew straight towards him.

Li Jiren and Li Jixin, who had just arrived, were so scared when they saw Prince Qing in danger that they broke out in a cold sweat.

The two men rushed forward, grabbed Prince Qing, and flew into the air.

Prince Qing was also frightened, and after the shock he became angry.

The arrow didn't even give him a chance to speak and continued to shoot all over his body.

The crowd of onlookers began to run around, and from time to time there were sounds of people being stepped on and shouting.

Li Jiren ordered Li Jixin to protect Prince Qing. He used the cloth from the flags surrounding the arena to catch the flying arrows, and shouted to the crowd, "Don't run around. Hold your head and squat down."

The people who were huddled together and running around felt inexplicably relieved when they heard Li Jiren's voice, and they all squatted down with their heads in their hands as he said.

As soon as they squatted down, Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun at the door of the food court were exposed.

Han Qingyun had just helped Lu Yanyan get out of the car, and before he reached the door of the food court, he saw an arrow rushing towards Lu Yanyan's eyebrows at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Xingwu, who was parking the carriage in the cattle shed, heard the shouting and turned around to see the arrow flying towards Lu Yanyan. He was so frightened that he rushed over quickly to try to block the arrow.

But he was still too far away and it was too late.

Han Qingyun only had time to pull Lu Yanyan into his arms and use his back to block the arrow.

Li Jixin pulled Prince Qing and dodged in the air. He saw the arrows flying towards Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan and wanted to catch them, but he couldn't free his body.

Li Jiren was also frightened and chased after him as fast as he could without caring about anything else.

When Li Jiren grabbed the tail of the arrow, it was less than an inch away from the back of Han Qingyun's head.

When Zhao Xingwu ran over, he saw Li Jiren holding the arrow with blood in his right hand. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, Prince. Thank you, Prince..."

Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan were also sweating profusely. When they came to their senses, they saw the blood on Li Jiren's palm. Just as they were about to thank him, they saw a murderous look on Li Jiren's face.

Li Jiren flew over and grabbed a few more flying arrows, then flew in the direction from which the arrows were shot.

At this time, the guards of Prince Qing's Mansion and Li Jixin's personal guards also arrived. Some of them organized the people to evacuate, while the others followed Li Jiren and flew towards the city wall.

Li Chonglin had a fierce look on his face. He took out a firework and launched it into the air. The color of the firework was extremely bright and could be seen clearly even in the daytime.

What was even more astonishing was that the fireworks shot up high enough to be seen by people outside the city.

Han Qingyun protected Lu Yanyan and entered the store.

What Li Chonglin set off were not ordinary fireworks, but signal flares used by the army to send messages.

Li Jiren had already caught the archers and kicked them off the city wall, but he himself was shot in the left shoulder.

Fortunately, the enemy was only targeting Prince Qing and had only eight archers, otherwise Li Jiren would have been more seriously injured.

After all the arrows stopped, Li Jiren flew down from the city wall. The eight archers had been hacked to death by swords.

When Shen Meng and Ge Wei saw Li Chonglin send out the signal flare, their faces changed...

Soon, Emperor Zhaowen and his ministers received the news that the 100,000 troops outside the city gate were attacking the south gate. Han Qi, who led the army, even sent a small team back to Yucheng to find the remaining troops.

Emperor Zhaowen's legs felt a little weak. After the army from Yucheng arrived, there was also the army from Jiyang. Who in the world could resist the powerful army of Jiyang?

Even if he killed Prince Qing and his son and Li Jiren and his brothers now, what would be the use?

His elder brother, the emperor who is always protective of his own people, would definitely lead people into the city to kill him.

He had only been emperor for more than three years, and he had not had enough. He could not let the Ji Yang army invade.

Emperor Zhaowen rushed to Shen Meng and Ge Wei and slapped them hard several times.

"Who told you to shoot arrows? Who told you to shoot arrows?"
