The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 123 I'm Short of Money

Ye Qingyan arrived at the gate of Zhao's mansion and went straight into the space.

As usual, she found the place with the most guards and walked directly into the warehouse.

All the things in the warehouse, including the cartloads of gifts, were put into Ye Qingyan's space.

She went to Zhao Tuo's study, rummaged through it, and put all the banknotes that Zhao Tuo had saved over the years into her pocket.

She went to the backyard again and searched the ladies' belongings. Anyway, their property had to be confiscated and they couldn't take anything away.

She muttered, "The Emperor doesn't need this little silver. I am short of silver, I am short of it."

After finishing her work, she teleported to the vicinity of the yamen.

Leng Jiuyuan was waiting outside the yamen, and Ye Qingyan came to him with a smile.

When Leng Jiuyuan saw her smug look, he knew she had succeeded.

"Xiao Qi, let's go to Zuixianlou to rest first. Leave this to Zhan Yi. An Yi, you keep an eye on it here."

"Yes, Master!"

Leng Jiuyuan led everyone towards Zuixian Tower.

On the roadside opposite Zuixianlou, there was a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Her face was dirty and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. The tears flowed silently, and every drop of them was a sorrow from the heart.

She knelt there in mourning, with a sign in front of her that read: "Selling myself to bury my mother."

There was a man in green brocade clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand, followed by four thugs. They came to the woman.

The man holding the fan said, "Little girl, it's pitiful for you to kneel here. Come on, go back and be a concubine for Wu Yong.

You two take that body to the mass grave and bury it. Girl, follow me." After saying that, he went to pull the girl away.

The girl struggled desperately: "Let me go, let me go, is there any law?"

Wu Yong taunted, "Brothers, see? This girl is talking to me about the law. What I, Wu Yong, say is the law of Jiangzhou."

"Take the body away and don't leave it here as an eyesore."

Two scoundrels went to lift the body from the ground.

The girl stepped forward to protect the body, "You can't throw my mother into a mass grave."

Wu Yong stepped forward and pulled the girl up, "Little girl, come with me."

The girl was dragged on the ground and refused to move: "Let me go, you stinking scoundrels."

Ye Qingyan walked closer and closer, and when she was about thirty meters away, she couldn't bear to watch any longer.

She casually took out a silenced pistol and fired two shots at Wu Yong's buttocks, and then two streams of blood flowed out.

"what!"

"Ah!" Wu Yong was beaten to his knees.

He touched his buttocks and saw that his hands were covered in blood.

"Ah! Which bastard is harming me? Get out here!"

Ye Qingyan fired several more shots, almost breaking his buttocks.

The other two thugs put the body down and asked, "Brother, what happened to you?"

"I can't walk anymore! Help me up!"

"So what about this chick?"

"Take it away and leave the body there."

Leng Jiuyuan stepped forward and said, "How dare you, in broad daylight, snatch a common woman by force."

Wu Yong was held by two people, looking fearless. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business? Do you know who I am?"

Leng Jiuyuan asked disdainfully: "Who are you?"

"I'll tell you this and you'll be scared to death. My uncle is the governor of Jiangzhou."

An elderly man among the onlookers advised: "You should leave quickly. He is a relative of the governor. No one dares to offend him. Otherwise, the governor will send people to arrest you and put you in jail."

Ye Qingyan's voice was filled with anger: "The governor you mentioned is dead, and the Zhao Mansion has been ransacked.

It would be even better if he was related to Zhao Tuo, so they could be exiled together."

Wu Yong was furious: "Impossible! Stop spreading rumors and misleading people."

Ye Qingyan glanced at him and said, "Things have changed. The current governor of Jiangzhou is the Minister of Revenue, who came here by imperial decree."

"How could this happen? How could my uncle die? He has the third prince as his backer." Wu Yong emphasized.

"The Third Prince has also fallen and been demoted to a commoner. What else do you want?"

Leng Jiuyuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Come here, put this shameless man in jail and let Zhan Yi deal with him."

An San and An Si escorted Wu Yong to the prison.

The little girl in plain clothes wiped her tears and knelt down quickly: "Thank you, sir, thank you for saving me."

Ye Qingyan came up to her and asked, "Miss, what's your name? Who else is at home?"

The girl's eyes were filled with tears: "My name is Bai Jinxin. I depended on my mother for everything, but now my mother has passed away due to illness." After saying that, she began to sob.

Ye Qingyan took out a hundred taels of silver and said to Feng Yi, "Feng Yi, go buy a coffin and bury Jin Xin's mother."

Bai Jinxin quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, you are Jinxin's master. From now on, Jinxin will obey your orders."

Ye Qingyan quickly refused: "Jinxin, you don't have to follow me. I just feel sorry for you. This is just a small favor."

Bai Jinxin cried: "Master, please don't look down on me. I can do everything. I can make perfumes, understand herbs, clean and cook.

Jinxin can eat only one meal a day and work more."

Ye Qingyan felt a pang of sadness. Although she never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, Bai Jinxin was already an orphan with no one to rely on.

She stepped forward and helped Bai Jinxin up: "Jinxin, get up quickly and follow me from now on."

Bai Jinxin kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, Master, for taking me in!"

The coffin shop's vehicle had approached. The waiter and Feng Yi lifted Bai Jinxin's mother onto the carriage and put her into the coffin.

Ye Qingyan ordered: "Feng Yi, take Jin Xin with you. Let her know where her mother is buried."

"Yes, Master!"

The carriage drove out of the city.

Leng Jiuyuan and everyone else walked towards Zuixian Tower.

In the afternoon, Ye Qingyan came to Leng Jiuyuan's room and said, "Jiuyuan, give me the defense map. I'll go get the prefect and the county magistrate's things."

Leng Jiuyuan took out the defense map from his clothes, Ye Qingyan threw the map into the space, and teleported to the residence of the Pingyang prefect.

After an afternoon, Ye Qingyan had looted the mansions of those officials.

After Feng Yi and Bai Jinxin buried Bai's mother, they just walked onto the official road when a group of people came to the opposite side on horseback. They looked like bandits because of their clothes.

Feng Yi said to Bai Jinxin, "Be careful. If they start a fight, run away."

"No, I can't leave you alone." Bai Jinxin said.

"It's already late, these people are obviously bandits, don't let them be kidnapped."

The leader was a man in his twenties. He was neither happy nor angry, with a sinister face and a stern expression.

Those deep, dark eyes were shining with a dark light, his eyebrows were slender, and his nose was high. At first glance, he looked like a hypocritical gangster.

A man with triangular eyes beside him smiled and said, "Boss, there are two girls delivered to our door. Whichever one you like, we will take her up the mountain to be your wife."

Another person said, "Good things come in pairs, big brother, let's collect them together."
