Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

On that day, the houses of those who owed money to the national treasury were in chaos. All the people they liked were taken away by the emperor, who seemed to pay a high price but was actually a huge discount.

Those families who had prepared to hide their money outside in advance were collectively robbed by thieves overnight, and all their belongings disappeared.

Leng Qingyi ostentatiously placed all the stolen pots, pans, and utensils in the pawnshop he had just acquired.

Those who were used to using their original belongings had no choice but to spend money to redeem them. If you think about it carefully, it would be better to just pay back the money directly.

It was so funny. Not only did I lose more money, I also lost a pawnshop. Somehow someone's underwear was taken away and was hanging in the pawnshop. There was a note saying "Mr. So-and-so's underwear" and five taels of silver hanging underneath.

The yellowed crotch of his underwear made this official famous in the capital, and many people came to see the underwear worn by the official.

It was two days later that the gentleman learned the news and hurriedly sent someone to redeem him.

By then it had become fifty taels of silver, but if he didn't redeem it, more people would come to the pawnshop to steal the officials' underwear.

There is not a single example like this, it’s just that no one is embarrassed by wearing underwear.

That is, a pair of original socks with holes in them, a nose that has accumulated a big ball, and a small jar of discarded human tissue (toenails)...

For a moment, countless officials were secretly cursing the emperor for being a beast.

Leng Qingyi's tricks were detrimental but effective: a pair of underwear cost fifty taels, the four treasures of the study used by the number one scholar cost two hundred taels, the secret rouge used by the most beautiful woman in the capital cost fifty taels, the socks worn by a high-ranking official cost twenty taels, the nose of an important official cost three hundred taels, and the toenails of a prince cost four hundred taels.

Because of Leng Qingyi's high profile, most people in Beijing knew that this pawnshop was opened by the emperor of the current dynasty.

Apart from these gimmicky things, the prices for ordinary people to pawn things in this pawnshop are the most reasonable. The prices are guaranteed and the safety is even more guaranteed.

Pawnshops provide confidentiality services to customers who pawn valuables, secretly delivering the silver to customers in the dead of night.

This method greatly facilitates some customers who have difficulties in expressing their opinions.

However, this method also gave the corrupt servants in the wealthy families an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This is not without a solution. Leng Qingyi's pawnshop does not accept items of unknown origin. As long as you can convince the pawnshop owner, he will pawn the imperial seal even if it is a beggar.

But if you can't give any reason, you can still do it, but when you deliver the silver, you must bring government officials with you.

In this way, if the owner still wants the thing, he has to pay to redeem it. If he doesn't want it, the pawnshop can only thank nature for the gift.

This inhumane behavior directly established an image of an emperor as extremely upright in the hearts of the people.

Anyone who can live in the capital city must have some powerful ancestors, and there will be some heirlooms in their family.

And those heirlooms are not wealth but death warrants for ordinary people like them.

As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. The emperor's pawnshop solved this problem very well.

Not only did he help ordinary people in need, but he also hated evil and helped the wealthy families catch servants who stole things from their masters.

This made the officials love and hate him. They hated the emperor's unscrupulous nature, but they loved him to find out the origins of those things, especially the belongings of unmarried girls in the family. If they fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, the reputation of the girl would be ruined.

The debt collection work lasted for two days, during which many people resorted to trickery. After all, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels were not a small amount of money for them.

It was very enjoyable to spend the money when I borrowed it, but now it hurts so much to exchange it for silver.

They have a countermeasure and Leng Qingyi has a way to crack it. In general, she must win, otherwise she will not give up.

Either pay her back the money honestly, or she'll take the blame for you.

During this period, a lot of shameful things were found, several houses were raided, and several families were exiled.

For a time, officials in the capital were in a panic.

Not only do they owe the national treasury money, but even if the emperor, who owes nothing, passes by and wants to rest in the palace, how can they not let him in?

Once they entered, they would either accidentally touch the switch of the dark room or trip over something and happen to find some evidence of their crime.

I don’t know if the emperor had found out something in advance or if he was just that lucky.

Of course, these things were not all calculated by her, most of them were found out by Anliu.

It would be a shame not to utilize the strengths of these dozen or so secret guards. Leng Ba Pi is officially online to squeeze out the last bit of value from every usable person.

After collecting the debt, Leng Qing returned to the palace and had a big meal, and then received news from Doctor Wen.

The Silver Moon Grass had been made into an antidote and brought back to the capital and immediately entered the palace.

This opportunity to improve her favorability cannot be missed, so I put the carrot soup that she disliked into a jar and took it to Ronghua Palace.

"My beloved, it's time for lunch. This white jade soup is incredibly delicious. I brought you a bowl specially. Imperial Physician Wen has also arrived in the capital with the antidote. If nothing unexpected happens, you won't have to suffer from the poison this evening."

Yan Ruju knew that the emperor was very busy these days, but he still took some time out every day to come to her palace and sit there.

Now that he knew the antidote was about to be delivered, the usually steady and indifferent man actually showed his emotions and seemed happier than her, the person involved.

"I thank Your Majesty for your concern. Once I have recovered from the poison and am well, I will definitely prepare a wonderful birthday celebration for Your Majesty."

"It's okay. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will do the same thing according to the rules. Your health is the most important thing."

She really made me cry. Not to mention letting other concubines handle this matter, in order to prevent the power of the six palaces from falling into the hands of others, she would rather let the Imperial Household Department take charge and wait until she recovers.

Who would believe that the emperor has no feelings for her?

"Your Majesty, I am fine. I will be back to normal once the poison is removed. I think you are feeling better now."

Leng Qingyi touched his nose and coughed twice.

"Still...it's still the same. There's no rush. You'll only be eighteen after your birthday this year. I heard it's not good for a woman to get pregnant too early. Plus, you've suffered this unexpected disaster and your health is already weakened, so you can't get pregnant now. For your health, it wouldn't hurt to nurse for another two years."

"But without the birth of an heir, the country will be unstable. I have also heard that those ministers are urging the emperor to expand the royal family. I really don't want them to make malicious speculations about you."

"It's okay. In two years, we'll both be well again and those rumors will be self-defeating. Besides, I've only been on the throne for a year and power is slipping away. This critical period isn't the best time for a child to be born. Wouldn't it be better to wait until I'm in complete control of the court and give him a safe environment to grow up in? I don't want our child to be subjected to all sorts of attacks and criticisms from the moment he's born. Our child must be the most noble and happiest child in the world."

Yan Ruju was deeply moved when she saw the man, who was as beautiful as a flower on the mountain, talking to her about his plans for the future of the emperor.

As the two talked, evening soon arrived, but the antidote was still not here.
