Chapter 333

"Out of town?" Lin Shuqian remembered that Qingqing, the little girl she had been on the roadside before, seemed to have come from the northwest.

Lin Shuqian sat up straight from Qi Mingxuan's arms and said curiously, "is there more snow in the northwest this year?"

Qi Mingxuan's eyes were obviously dark. He nodded his head, but shook it again.

"The vast majority of the victims we rescued came from the northwest. They all said that they were affected by the snow disaster."

"But So far, no snow disaster has been reported in Northwest China. "

"What?" Lin Shuqian was surprised and said, "the northwest dare to conceal the disaster. Isn't it a big crime to lose one's head?"

"It is reasonable to say that local officials who conceal the disaster will be dismissed and investigated, but..."

Qi Mingxuan said helplessly, "my father has played this matter to the emperor many times in the court, but the emperor reproached my father for talking nonsense and did not allow him to mention it again."

Lin Shuqian is too surprised to close his mouth. What is murongjie's most fatuous operation?

Qi Mingxuan gave a wry smile. "I'm afraid you don't know the relationship. The northwest counties have always been under the jurisdiction of the northwest king, and most of the local officials are his people. It must be the idea of the northwest King Ge Shikang that the northwest officials dare to conceal."

Lin Shuqian was more puzzled. "How could the northwest king be so bold, and how could the emperor protect him?"

"Because Ge Shikang has a good relationship with the emperor, they grew up together and are closer than their brothers."

"For this?" Lin Shuqian was surprised and said, "in murongjie's heart, the lives of thousands of people are not as important as his being small?"

Lin Shu said, "murongjie, as an emperor, is the king of the northwest. They both ignore the life and death of the common people?"

Lin Mingxuan sighed helplessly. After thinking about it, he told his family what he had found out. "Ge Shikang levies heavy taxes in the northwest, and then he will hand over the extra part to his Majesty in private and enter his Majesty's private Treasury."

Ge Shikang's concealment of the disaster was also due to the fact that if he was hit by the disaster, the imperial court would have to issue a tax reduction policy the next year to stabilize people's livelihood, but if he did, he would not receive any money.

This part of Ge Shikang's filial money is the main source of murongjie's private Treasury. This time, Ge Shikang gave murongjie an extra reward. With the relationship between them, he would not punish the northwest king for the sake of thousands of victims.

Lin Shuqian was so angry that he pounded the bed.

"Two bastards, working in collusion!"

When murongjie became an emperor, he even planned for his private bank.

"Where is murongjie's private bank?" Lin Shuqian gritted his teeth and said, "let's blow it up and give the silver back to the people."

Qi Mingxuan knew that Lin Shuqian was saying angry words, so he touched her head.

"No one knows where he's hiding his private bank, otherwise I would have tried to steal it."

Lin Shu is so angry that he wants to beat murongjie now.

At first, she didn't know it, but now that she knew it, she couldn't calm down any more.

Lin Shuqian sat sulking for a long time, then looked up at Qi Mingxuan.

She sat down very seriously and asked seriously, "do you really want to work for such a court?"

Lin Shuqian has made up her mind to leave this inhuman place.

The palace is full of singing, dancing and peace. The food is the best. But when Lin Shuqian thinks that these are all from the poor people who have to do their best to survive, his heart is like a knife.

If the country is rich and the people are strong, it doesn't matter to live a good life in the palace, but now the people are dying. If it goes on like this, she will be tortured to death by her conscience.

"If we leave here, I won't be the empress dowager, and you don't work for murongjie, OK?"

Lin Shuqian looks forward to Qi Mingxuan. As long as he nods, she agrees to go with him immediately.

In her imagination, she would fly away with Qi Mingxuan, go to a place nobody knows, and change her name to be a happy couple.

When the time comes, she will have nothing to do with these bastard affairs in the imperial court and the hidden weapons in the harem.
