After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 134 Investigate Pinglehou Mansion
The next day, when Sheng Baoling woke up, Pei Ci had already had dinner downstairs and was about to set off first. There was chaos outside, and he wanted Sheng Baoling to stay in the post house so that it would be safer.

Therefore, it was possible to get up earlier, but I didn't expect that Sheng Baoling got up so early today. It stands to reason that those who rushed here yesterday should have a longer rest today.

Because Sheng Baoling had been dreaming, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she couldn't fall asleep anyway, and she simply got up and got down at dawn.

It's just that he didn't expect that Pei Ci was earlier than himself.

After biting a steamed bun, Sheng Baoling didn't care much about how he looked in the eyes of others, and asked Pei Ci, "Where are you going today?"

But when Pei Ci cast his eyes on Sheng Baoling, Sheng Baoling suddenly became a little embarrassed, loosened his teeth, took a bite of a small piece, put down the steamed bun, and sipped the porridge.

Aware of Sheng Baoling's reaction, Pei Ci's thin lips curled up, his heart was inexplicably excited, but his face was always calm, "I did a secret search in the city yesterday, and I'm going to see the county magistrate today."

The county magistrate came over last night and didn't see anyone. He should go see him today and hear about the recent situation in the city after the disaster.

It is also good to discuss in detail about matters such as distributing porridge later.

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, "Alright."

However, rather than going to see the county magistrate, she wanted to see what Pei Ci said about Ping Lehou last night, to see if it was really like a homework dream, and there was something shady about it.

Thinking about it, Sheng Baoling said suddenly, "But I'm a little tired, and I want to rest here for a while, so I won't go with you."

When she said this, it was true that Pei Ci had never planned to take Sheng Baoling outside in the first place.

"Alright."

After the two of them had dinner, seeing that Pei Ci was about to leave, Sheng Baoling said suddenly, "Wait, you take Li Sheng with you."

There were also quite a few mobs outside. Although the material Pei Ci was wearing was not expensive, but in the current situation, it was too clean and rich. I was afraid that those mobs would be tempted to rob.

Pei Ci's body is weak, in case there are not enough people around him, he gets injured or something...

Li Sheng on the side looked over subconsciously, and he also wanted to follow. He also saw the situation in this city yesterday, and the lord took two people out at this moment. I'm a little worried.

Pei Ci said, "No, just let him stay and protect you."

With that said, he took the two of them and strode away from the post house.

Sheng Baoling frowned, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart, and then looked at Li Sheng, "Hurry up and protect your lord, it's really chaotic outside."

Li Sheng hesitated until Sheng Baoling said, "I'll just stay at the post house and not go anywhere."

Only then did Li Sheng's face move, he looked around and saw that there were officers and soldiers in charge, and no thief would be so stupid as to come in here and suffer his death.

Thinking of this, I felt relieved, and said in a low voice, "You will come as soon as you go, and please don't leave the post house."

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, watching Li Sheng leave the post house.

Apart from Li Sheng, no one in the group knew Sheng Baoling's true identity, they just thought it was some subordinate who was with Pei Ci, and because Pei Ci didn't want others' attention to fall on Sheng Baoling, causing danger, they decided to He didn't order others to protect Sheng Baoling, so naturally these people didn't pay much attention.

At this moment, Sheng Baoling changed his clothes, walked out of the post house, stopped someone to ask for directions, and rewarded a steamed bun brought out of the post house.

The man was grateful, but he was reluctant to eat and hid it on his body.

When he came not far away, his wife was waiting there, leaning against the wall as if sick, the man took out the steamed bun, supported his wife, and fed it bit by bit.

Sheng Baoling looked at it, and felt uncomfortable in her heart. If she couldn't reveal the money, she would like to give some money and let the man take his wife to the hospital for treatment.

But even if she could save this person right now, she couldn't save the whole city, and all the victims who kept coming into the city.

The key issue is still the food and silver for disaster relief.

At this time, Sheng Baoling thought about the dream last night, the little emperor cared so much about Ping Lehou, and he didn't hesitate to make a deal with him...

She felt uneasy.

At this time, in an overly prosperous area of ​​the city, surrounded by beauties in a mansion, the middle-aged man who was lying on a soft couch and enjoying himself squinted his eyes comfortably, "How about it, have you sent it to the capital?"

"Back to Lord Hou, everything has been delivered." The subordinate at the side hesitated for a while, and then said, "Master Hou, the imperial envoy from Beijing, I heard that they arrived yesterday."

Ping Lehou didn't take it seriously at all, and sneered, "Give silver to those who should be given money, and give gifts to those who should be given gifts. Why do you need me to say it?"

How many times has it been used to ask for instructions, it is really raising a bunch of waste.

The subordinate saw that Ping Lehou closed his eyes and fell asleep again, and didn't continue talking to be annoying.

Originally, I heard that the imperial envoy was the well-known Pei Zuoxiang in Beijing, a well-known talent, I'm afraid it's not so easy to dismiss, these days, before Pei Ci left, it's better to keep a low profile , but Lord Hou obviously didn't care at the moment.

He didn't intend to remind him either.

Just looking at Ping Lehou's peaceful appearance, but I always have doubts in my heart, who is the backer behind Master Hou, who doesn't even pay attention to Zuoxiang Pei?

So many people from the past, some spent some money, antique calligraphy and paintings, and they were sent away, and some who couldn't be sent away died of illness on the way.

For such a long time, I have never seen anything happen to Lord Hou. I don't know who is behind it, so that Lord Hou can act like this without being exposed.

Ping Lehou relaxes physically and mentally, no matter what imperial envoys, you will be taken care of in the end anyway, even if you don't manage well, there are still people in Beijing to protect you.

The person sitting high on the dragon chair is his greatest amulet.

That person didn't send any news, and the person who wanted to come was not an important person. Besides, as long as the Queen Mother didn't come, it would be the same as whoever came.

In fact, it wasn't that the little emperor didn't send messages here to remind Marquis Pingle to be careful about Pei Ci, but that he didn't intend to let Pei Ci return to Bianjing alive, so he didn't remind him.

In his eyes, they are all dying people, so what is there to be afraid of?

Just like at this time, relying on delivering food, Sheng Baoling who infiltrated Pinglehou's mansion was looking around.

Looking at the luxurious decoration of Hou's Mansion, it is no worse than those rich and noble families in the capital. Compared with Jing Wang's Mansion, Jing Wang's Mansion is really shabby.

But such a mansion has such a disaster-stricken city, it's ridiculous!

Look at the vegetables and meat brought into the mansion, they are all top-quality, the people outside are still suffering, eating the last meal, and some are starving to death, but this Ping Lehou is in this mansion have fun!
