Chapter 35 Alan goes to Beijing for help
While the two were chatting, Aldo came to report: "Master Ten, there is a beggar outside the mansion, saying he wants to see you. I wanted to chase him away, but he handed me this and said it's yours. I dare not take the initiative, so I came to report."

Li Yan took it curiously and saw that it was his handkerchief.

Water Moon Lotus Silk.
Suddenly, he remembered the night when he returned to Beijing according to the imperial order. He had met Brother Zhang Wu and his family in Jiangxia Town. He had been so engrossed in having fun that he almost forgot about it. He stood up and said to Old Wu, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

"Master Shi, if you have anything to do, just go ahead!"

Wu Sidao stroked his beard, with an ambiguous smile on his face. He also saw the handkerchief in Li Yan's hand, and thought that it was the romantic debts that the Tenth Master had incurred outside that had come to haunt him.

Li Yan smiled awkwardly, without any explanation, and followed Aldo in a hurry.

When he arrived at the gate, he saw a ragged, unkempt little figure squatting in the corner. When he saw Li Yan coming out, he stood up excitedly and took off the hat that was covering his face, and said hurriedly: "Master Shi, do you still remember me? I am Alan from Jiangxia Town!"

"Alan, how did you come to the capital, and how did you become like this?"

Li Yan's face was full of surprise. Of course, Li Yan was pretending. Pretending was Li Yan's forte!
A-lan cried and told the story of Brother Zhang Wu, then knelt on the ground and begged, "Master Shi, please save my brother, please save my brother!"

"Alan, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. No matter how big the problem is, Master Shi will support you." Li Yan helped Alan into the mansion with concern, and ordered the maid to get some food for Alan, wash him up, and tidy up.

Then he brought the refreshed Alan to Wu Sidao's courtyard, introduced Alan's identity, and explained how he accidentally passed by Jiangxia Town and saved Zhang Wu's family.

Let Alan also tell him that Zhang Wu Ge will be executed in a few days because of someone else's crime!
Without waiting for Wu Sidao to speak
Li Yan straightened his back with a righteous look on his face, and said sanctimoniously: "Mr. Wu, in the great Qing Dynasty, with the Huanghuang Code in place, such a horrific and vicious case actually happened. This kind of thing cannot be tolerated by me no matter what. No matter how many obstacles I face, how many important people I have to offend, or how much I have to pay, I must rescue Brother Zhang Wu!"

Alan, who had cleaned up the place nearby and put on new clothes, looked handsome. When he heard Li Yan's words, he looked at him with gratitude, his eyes revealing infinite longing and admiration.

There is still a trace of affection in the eyes
Wu Sidao ignored Li Yan. After a few months of getting along with him, he already knew the character of this Tenth Master. Instead, he was thinking carefully about the consequences of this incident, and how to deal with it if he got involved. He kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After waiting for a long time, he came to his senses and saw that both of them were looking at him. He smiled calmly and said, "Miss Alan, don't worry. Since Master Shi has spoken, we will definitely do our best to rescue you. You have come from a long way and suffered a lot along the way. Go and have a rest. Master Shi and I will discuss it carefully to see where to start the rescue."

"Yes!"

"Alan, go and have a rest!" "I will definitely rescue your brother. When you come to my place, just think of it as your own home. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!" Li Yan comforted him with a kind face and gentle words.

Alan looked at Li Yan with a blushing face, nodded silently, and followed the maid downstairs.

After Alan left, Li Yan returned to normal and asked Wu Sidao, "Sir, what should we do?"

Wu Sidao smiled and said, "What does Master Shi think?"

Li Yan knew what Wu Sidao meant. You just made some big promises, and took on so much responsibility in front of the beauty, as if you had everything under control. How come you have no idea now?

Li Yan scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Mr. Wu, please stop making fun of me. I just wanted to comfort Alan! Didn't you see how terrified she was? She was a weak woman whose family had gone through such a big change. She had to hide from those people and beg to come to Beijing to complain. I don't know how much hardship and suffering she had to endure along the way. How could I bear to pour cold water on her in front of her!"

Wu Sidao said sternly: "If I say that this matter may involve the Crown Prince, it is a serious matter, and it is best for Master Shi not to interfere."

Li Yan stood up, walked slowly, and fell into deep thought. Wu Sidao also looked at him nervously and seriously!
When he came to this world, Li Yan knew that he was different from others. He could be said to be high above others. Therefore, ordinary people could not do anything to these emperors, nobles, and wealthy people, but he could manipulate them as he pleased.

But the only thing he couldn't bear was to attack ordinary people. The people at the bottom of society in this era really lived too hard. Li Yan saw his own shadow in their struggles. They didn't want much, just a bite to eat. As long as they could survive, they would be content. Unlike those high-ranking dignitaries who treated people's lives lightly and treated the lower-class people like cattle and horses. They were greedy, and the money and grain at home piled up like mountains and even rotted. They watched the people starve to death and were unwilling to use them to help the victims.

What Li Yan fears least is these people. If he doesn't have the ability, then so be it. But now that he has the strength, he can't just stand by and watch!
Li Yan paused, then said loudly with a serious face: "Whether it is Alan or not, any common people who come to me, I can't sit idly by and watch this kind of thing. I can ignore the affairs of those powerful gentry, but I must take care of the affairs of the common people. Mr. Wu, the people under the rule of my Qing Dynasty are the most hardworking and simple group of people. As long as they have a bite to eat and as long as they can survive, they will quietly endure it on their own land. Unless they are forced to live in this world, they will rise up in resistance."

"These people usually exploit and oppress the poor people, but now they are brazenly using money to buy lives, using the lives of innocent people to pay off their debts. If human lives can be bought with money, then the laws of the country are meaningless. What kind of justice is there in this world? Even if I have to sacrifice my title as a prince, I will get to the bottom of this matter!"

"Hahaha"

"Well said, Your Highness is kind-hearted and has a broad mind! The Qing Dynasty can only be supported by pillars like Your Highness." Wu Sidao's words were filled with great surprise. He did not expect that this Manchu prince would have such insight and broad mind, and care about the Han people. Perhaps if he becomes the successor emperor, it will be a blessing for the people of the world.
