Chapter 373 They Want to Calm the Imperial Master
Someone immediately echoed:
"Yes, that's right!"
“That’s right, now ordinary people can hardly even get drinking water, but those high-ranking officials are living a life of luxury.
When have they ever taken ordinary people like us seriously? "
"That's right!"
After causing a heated discussion among the others, the man spoke again:
"Now our only hope is to invite the Grand Master. Only the Grand Master can pray for rain for Dayue, save the people of the world from the flood and end this terrible drought.
But now the Imperial Master is angry, and he refuses to come out.
We must find a way to calm the old man down.
So, now..."
Before the man could finish his words, there was a clanging sound from the front yard. It was the sound of a door being kicked open.
Then came the loud shouts from the officers and soldiers:
"Don't move! Arrest the man who incited the people!"
What followed was a chaotic sound of chickens and dogs running around.
Qin Wan released his mental power through the courtyard wall and discovered that it was the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture who were arresting people.
Very good, Wang Fan, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, finally did not eat for free.
If people who are easily instigated cannot be arrested, then can’t those who instigate people with bad intentions be arrested?
I saw the man who had just given a passionate speech jump onto the roof, preparing to escape by flying over the eaves or running over the wall.
Qin Wan sneered, and when the man was about to cross the courtyard wall, his mental power turned into a fist and hit him on the head.
The man felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Quick, tie him up."
The officers and soldiers who were chasing the man didn't know why he suddenly fainted, but they thought it would be a good idea to tie him up.
An officer who was skilled in martial arts jumped over the wall and saw Qin Wan and his companion in the alley.
He quickly jumped off the wall, bowed and saluted respectfully:
"I meet Mr. Qin and Miss Qin."
Qin Jingnian raised his eyebrows:
"You know us?"
"I am the personal guard of the prefect. I once went with him to the Prince Ding's palace to attend the family recognition banquet. I had the honor of meeting the young master and young lady at the banquet."
He explained seriously.
Finally, he added:
"Thank you for your help just now, young lady."
Qin Wan raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He was a smart man.
She said:
"There are many people like the man who fainted just now who are stirring up trouble among the people, right?"
"Indeed, there are quite a few. My master has mobilized all the personnel in the government office to search the entire city for those who are making inflammatory remarks."
“Then your arrest results are not very good.
Just now, when my sister and I were on our way back to the city, we saw many people going to the Changchun Temple outside the city to pray for blessings. They were all talking about inviting the national master to come out of seclusion."
Qin Jingnian originally just said it in a joking way, but this person explained it seriously:
"My lord, you have misunderstood. We arrested these people not because they incited the people to go to Changchun Temple to pray for blessings, but because they incited the people to do evil."
"What do you mean?"
Qin Jingnian frowned.
"These people..." As if he felt disgusted even to say it out loud, he paused before continuing:
“These people said that the people had been praying for so long, but the Imperial Master still hadn’t come out. It must be that the Imperial Master’s golden statue was destroyed some time ago, and the Imperial Master must be angry.
The people must offer 3000 beautiful boys and girls to the national master, and the national master will come out only after he calms down. "
"Damn, what a stupid statement."
Qin Jingnian couldn't help but swear.
Qin Wan said:
"What are the origins of these people? They shouldn't be from the Changsheng Sect, right?"
What good will it do for the national master to do this?
"Miss, you are smart. These people are definitely not from the evil cult of Changsheng Religion.
We have captured a few of them before and extracted their origins under torture.
They are from a human trafficking organization, and they came up with these bad ideas just to kidnap those beautiful boys and girls who were offered as sacrifices.”
Qin Wan:......
Qin Jingnian:…….
Both of them have black lines on their heads.
Qin Wan sneered:
"During troubled times, all kinds of monsters dare to come out and make trouble!"
If things continue like this, Otsuki will be in real trouble.
"Brother, hurry up and go find cousin Li."
With the support of Chen Yunzhi, Chen Li opened a teahouse on the most prosperous and lively street in the capital.
It is called a teahouse, but in fact it is a combination of a teahouse and a bookstore.
The teahouse has five floors in total, and the first floor near the door is decorated like a bookstore.
I only sell Mr. Dong Kuo’s storybooks.
A stage was set up in the middle of the first floor of the teahouse.
At Qin Wan's suggestion, Chen Li interpreted the content of the vernacular novel through character performance.
Seeing the characters in the novels wearing specially made costumes and performing on stage is more attractive than the storyteller telling the story alone.
After the teahouse opened, both upstairs and downstairs were filled with people.
Some guests not only listen once, but also want to listen a second time.
Some customers would take a storybook from the bookstore at the door when they leave.
The teahouse business was booming, so Chen Li was thinking of copying this model and opening a few more in other cities in Dayue, and he was busy every day.
When Qin Wan and his sister came, Chen Li was in a separate box on the top floor of the teahouse, listening to the accountant reporting on the accounts of various teahouses.
Hearing the servant in the building say that the brother and sister were looking for him, Chen Li quickly got up and went downstairs to greet them.
"Tsk, after all, this is the capital under the emperor's feet, a brick can kill a powerful person.
The drought outside is so severe, but these wealthy people can still enjoy themselves like this every day, drinking tea and watching plays, and they are very comfortable. "
Qin Jingnian stood in the lobby on the first floor and saw the teahouse filled with people.
Thinking of the refugees affected by the drought, especially those who died of thirst, the sharp contrast made him reveal a sarcastic expression.
Qin Wan understood his brother's feelings, but "where there are people, there are class divisions. It's nothing strange. Cousin Li is here, let's get down to business."
As he said this, he walked upstairs. Chen Li was walking down from the third floor.
The three of them met at the stairs on the second floor.
Chen Li was very happy to see the two of them:
"Cousin, you are finally back in Beijing. I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Cousin Li, I have something to tell you, let's find a quiet place."
Qin Wan didn't have time to reminisce about the past and went straight to the point.
Chen Li made a gesture of invitation:
"There is a special box on the fifth floor."
In the box, the accountant who was checking the accounts was asked to leave.
"Cousin, if you have anything to ask me, just tell me. I will definitely help you with what I can do, and I will also find a way to help you with what I can't do."
Chen Li patted his chest and said seriously.
He is not bragging.
After running a teahouse and bookshop in the capital for several months, Chen Li is no longer the Chen Li who only knew how to pick grass for pigs in Xinghua Village.
The customers who came to his teahouse were either rich or noble. Chen Li wandered among these people every day and made many connections.
In addition to the relationship with the Prince Consort of Dingwang Mansion as a relative, any wealthy family in the capital would send an invitation to Chen Li when they held a banquet.
Through the banquet, Chen Li made more contacts.
Now it is still easy for him to get things done in the capital.
