Now, the people knew what was going on. After reading it one by one, they all cursed Prime Minister Liu.

After reading it, the courtiers were all silent, especially the prime minister. No one dared to meet the emperor again, for fear that if they were not careful, their home would be confiscated again.

No one asked for mercy anymore, so the old emperor could be at peace.

He reached out and picked up another bag, which Mrs. Qin had given him, about road construction.

Looking at it, the emperor suddenly grinned.

Wonderful, this method is wonderful. If you want to be rich, build the road first. After the road is built, collect the toll money. Yes, yes.

Chao Ting spends money to repair the roads, and vehicles passing by pay a certain fee to protect the roads. This can be done.

However, a large sum of money must be paid first.

I copied the Liu family and the banknotes given by Madam Qin, which is almost enough. This matter needs to be discussed with the Ministry of Industry.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Public Works!"

"Yes!"

Qin Yue doesn't know anything about the Liu family yet, but she sees that the weather is nice and plans to go out for a walk.

The children were playing with Xiao Tie at home, and a barrier was put up for them so that even the silly boy next door couldn't get through.

Shitou naturally reassured her and read books alone in the room.

When she came to the street, Qin Yue walked slowly with her hands behind her back. She didn't read the almanac today. She didn't go far when she met a certain woman.

"Is it you? Why are you here in the capital?"

"Hey, God is blinded. I can't see you again in such a big capital."

Huang Wei stared at Qin Yue, and she also stared at him.

"Is Zhuang Shi about to end?"

"My friend, my husband is going to take the imperial examination. I heard that you are getting along with a wealthy businessman in the capital, and you are doing well."

"Hey, he's just a businessman."

"That's right. I was born with an ordinary body, but I have a heart of heaven and ambition. I just throw it away and look for something better."

"Stop making fun of me."

"To be honest, at this age, with this appearance, he has a restless heart. When your son gets older, he will find someone like you after he gets a wife. You two can compete."

"none of your business."

"Of course it's none of my business."

Qin Yue smiled and walked past her to leave.

"wait."

"Is something wrong?"

"Speaking of which, our two families are also related, you should understand."

"Hey, don't be shy, just let it go. My aunt won't do that."

Huang Wei pursed her lips: "Can you ask the Ji family for a favor?"

"No, you and I are neither relatives nor friends. It would be an exaggeration to say that we are mortal enemies. Help you? Are you not crazy?"

"I, then, can you lend me some money?"

"Don't borrow!"

After saying that, Qin Yue raised her legs and left. Huang Wei called out from behind and stamped her foot angrily when she saw that she didn't stop.

"What's so great about it? Without you, I would still be fine, hum!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man chased after him.

"Weier, where are you going?"

Huang Wei's body trembled, and she forced a smile on her face: "Just take a look around, this is not a big event happening in the city, go and see the excitement."

"go together."

"Ai, ai!"

Qin Yue turned around and saw Huang Wei carefully following a man.

Humph, you too have today. I think back then, you treated men as playthings, but now you are going to fall into the hands of men. Just wait and see.

As Qin Yue walked, she looked around and saw people running towards the palace.

Anyway, nothing to do, let’s go take a look.

Every step she took was like traveling a mile, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived at the entrance to the palace.

There are so many people, commoners and businessmen, all gathered around to see something.

She squeezed gently and entered.

Oh, it turns out it was her who gave me those dirty things. It’s nothing to see. Let’s go!
  Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a thief stole the purse from a man's waist.

Qin Yue tapped her finger lightly and Tou'er froze.

She yelled: "Whose wallet has fallen? Look quickly."

"Wow!" The people all looked at their waists.

"M-mine."

"It's in his hands, take it back quickly."

The man stepped forward angrily, pulled the bag from Thief's hand back into his hand, and was about to reach out and hit him.

Qin Yue suddenly said: "Stop it. He is not a habitual thief. He must have stolen because his family was poor and he had no choice but to steal."

The man glared at Qin Yue. If it weren't for her reminding him, he would never sell this favor and would have to beat the thief.

"Get up and come with me." Tou'er is young, looking about eleven or twelve years old. The key is that she is disguised as a man. She is dirty and looks easy on herself.

The two of them walked in tandem, and the thief couldn't escape.

"What is your name?"

"loach!"

"real name?"

"Shao Yurou."

"orphan?"

"And a grandmother."

Qin Yue curled her lips and smiled, looking at her luck, she always met old, weak and young children.

"Where is your grandmother?"

"We share a house with others in a courtyard house in the north of the city."

"Have you ever studied?"

"No, I'm just literate. But I often walk around the streets, and gradually I recognize the characters on the door."

"Why steal?"

"Everything you get is leftovers, which makes it easy to get sick. My grandmother is in poor health and can't eat too poorly. She can make money quickly by stealing. Those rich people are not short of money."

"Well, it kind of looks like robbing the rich and giving to the poor, but what if you steal from the poor?"

"No, I have very accurate eyesight."

As Qin Yue walked, she looked at the stalls on both sides:
  "Are you hungry?"

"hungry."

"Would you like to eat steamed buns?"

"Eat. I know there is a steamed bun shop in Beijing. Their steamed buns are delicious, but they are too expensive. They cost ten cents each."

"lead the way!"

The little girl led Qin Yue to a prosperous area.

"His buns are the best here."

Qin Yue raised her eyes and looked: "Luo Ji Baozi Shop."

The bun seller looked at Qin Yue and then at the little beggar next to her: "Guest, do you want to buy buns?"

"Here are ten, wrapped in oilcloth."

"Do you want meat or vegetarian?"

"One is vegetarian, the others are meat."

For some reason, she used to enjoy eating meat, but now when she mentions meat, she thinks of the little pets she has raised.

Can't eat it!

Putting the money on the table, she picked up the plain steamed bun and gave the others to the little girl.

"Eat, let's talk about anything else when you're full."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out the bun, opened her cheeks and ate it.

Afraid that she would choke, Qin Yue asked the store for a bowl of boiled water and asked her to drink it while she ate the vegetarian bun leisurely.

The taste is still good. In this season, I actually saw leeks here. It is better in the south. You can eat fresh vegetables regardless of the weather.

The one the little girl ate was made with cabbage, shiitake mushrooms and meat, and the smell was not bad.

The two of them didn't leave, they were just next to the bun shop, full.

"There are six more."

"Can three people eat enough?"

"Yes, the buns here are big. Can I take the other ones home?"

"It's up to you. Let's continue what we just said. Are you interested in following me?"

"doing what?"

"Running errands or something, sometimes it's a bit hard."

"As long as you don't do bad things."

"Then you returned it just now?"

"Didn't you also say that I am robbing the rich and giving to the poor?"

"Even so, are you willing?"

"Yes. Anyway, my grandmother and I don't have a decent home. We have one meal every day, and we have to worry about the rent every month. With you, we can take care of food, food and housing. As long as my grandmother is good, I will No matter what."

"You are a filial child. Let's go and change your outfit first. It's too eye-catching."

"Hey, I did it on purpose, otherwise I would have been abducted by bad guys."

"Then go home and change. Take your grandmother with you to Haitang Garden in the South District, where I live."

"Yeah, that's where the rich live. Is that your home?"

"No, I rented it with your family."

"Aha, but what we rent is a slum and what you rent is a mansion. There is no comparison."

"Go ahead and get there before dark, otherwise, you won't have a chance."
