I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

The admiration in her eyes became stronger, and she spoke softly:

"Your name is Yang Mi?"

A gentle voice sounded behind him, and Yang Mi quickly stood up and turned around.

When I saw that stunning face, that light green skirt, and the exquisite and gorgeous gold and silver jewelry.

Yang Mi hurriedly crossed his arms and bowed, saying:

"My humble daughter Yang Mi greets you, my noble lady."

Chai Xueying smiled and said, "No need to be so polite."

"My husband said that you were rescued by him last night, and now you and Chang'an are alone and helpless. Are you willing to come and work for my Fang family?"

husband?

Be rescued?

Yang Mi immediately realized that the beautiful woman in front of him was the wife of Fang Sanlang who had saved him.

She was no longer the silly girl who knew nothing about Chang'an last night.

She knew that the kindhearted man who saved her was not only the son of Prime Minister Fang.

His wife was the Valkyrie of the Tang Dynasty, who was loved and respected by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

She really didn't expect the legendary Valkyrie of the Tang Dynasty.

He doesn't look like a general who is so powerful that he can kill people everywhere and make the children of foreign countries stop crying.

She is so beautiful that she is as beautiful as a fairy and can topple a whole country.

She couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Chai Xueying found Yang Mi not saying anything and just staring at her blankly, which was very cute and interesting.

At the same time, he smiled and asked curiously:

"What? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Yang Mi came back to her senses, her face instantly flushed with shame, she pinched the corner of her clothes nervously, and said embarrassedly:

"Husband, there is no dirt on the lady's face."

"I, I was stunned by your beauty, Madam, for a moment!"

Hehehe~

These words of praise that came from the heart made Chai Xueying very happy.

Being complimented on her beauty makes her happy.

And being praised by other beauties is so much fun.

Chai Xueying smiled like a flower, and said a little embarrassedly:

"I, I'm not as pretty as a fairy."

"But you are also pure and graceful, like a lotus in clear water."

After saying this, Chai Xueying remembered the important matter and said:

"Would you like to come to my courtyard and serve me and my husband personally?"

Chapter 344: I report to the Minister of Civil Affairs Dai Zhou that he neglected his duties and was just sitting there doing nothing

Yang Mi's eyes were full of surprise. Without any hesitation, he nodded quickly and said:

"Yang Mi thanks Madam for her gift. I am willing to serve you and my husband."

As he spoke, Yang Mi knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to Chai Xueying.

Her entire family had been killed by the scimitars of the Eastern Turks.

She was visiting a friend outside at the time and happened to escape the disaster and survived.

He came to Chang'an to seek refuge with distant relatives, but was turned away.

Within a few days, she had no food to eat and no place to live, and she went from being a wealthy lady to a helpless and orphan.

If it weren't for Fang Yiyi's charity and help last night, she would have died last night.

Now, she is able to work for the Fang family and even become the personal maid of the Valkyrie of the Tang Dynasty.

How could Yang Mi be so stupid as to not accept it?

Chai Xueying smiled and helped Yang Mi up: "No need to be so polite."

"When you work with me in the future, there are no too many rules. Just be smart and careful!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Yang Mi nodded quickly and raised her sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Chai Xueying gave Lichun a look, and the other party immediately stepped forward and took Yang Mi to change clothes.

In just one morning, the Fang family and Zhao Xuemin had no idea how much food they had used and how many refugees they had helped.

But now all the food in the world is transported to the north to supply the soldiers.

Even though the two families were financially strong, they could not buy much rice and grain, and they still could not support themselves.

After the two families announced the end of the porridge distribution today, there were still tens of thousands of refugees who had not had anything to eat.

Many refugees knelt on the ground in despair, hoping to get something to eat.

Many refugees stayed where they were, hoping that the porridge distribution could continue.

The cries of complaints and begging resounded throughout the heaven and earth.

Fang Yiyi and Chai Xueying watched this scene with grief-stricken expressions.

"My husband, there are still so many refugees who have not had rice and porridge to eat. There is no food to buy in Chang'an City even if you have money. What should we do?"

Chai Xueying pursed her lips and asked sadly.

Fang Yiyi stretched out his arms, embraced Chai Xueying's delicate arms, and tightly embraced them, comforting his wife:

"There must be a way!"

"There will definitely be one!"

Fang Yiyi was thinking about tomorrow’s oiran wrestling match.

The four families have a deep cultural heritage, and the grain that Fang Yiyi cannot collect can definitely be bought by the four families!

If you persist for one more day, you will be able to temporarily solve this problem!

Fang Yiyi took a deep breath and looked at Fang Liudao beside him:

"Continue to look for those grain merchants and ask them to agree to open their warehouses and release the grain. I don't care what method you use, you must get it!"

Fang Liu met her husband's sharp eyes and shuddered involuntarily. Her expression became serious and she said earnestly:

"Here!"

At this time.

A servant of the Fang family ran over in a hurry and shouted from a distance:

"Sanlang, something bad has happened!"

There are three gates in the south wall of Chang'an City.

The Mingde Gate corresponds to the Suzaku Gate, and there are also the Qixia Gate and Anhua Gate on both sides.

There are porridge stalls at the three city gates.

There were many refugees outside Mingde Gate, so he and Chai Xueying stayed here.

This servant, along with a few other people, was busy at Anhua Gate.

Now the servant came running over in a hurry and shouted like this, which made Fang Yiyi's heart tighten and his expression gloomy.

......

Royal study room!

Li Shimin reviewed the memorials with a happy face.

At this time, the Censor Lu Ziye came into the imperial study with a serious face.

The Censorate supervises all officials and enforces discipline.

Li Shimin specifically issued an order allowing officials from the Censorate to report directly to the palace without having to file a report through the imperial court.

Lu Zi also saluted towards Li Shimin and said sternly:

"Your Majesty, I am reporting to the Minister of Civil Affairs Dai Zhou for neglecting his duties, occupying a position without doing anything, and ignoring the people!"

"Your Majesty, please remove him from his post and put him in jail!"

Chapter 345: At the court meeting tomorrow, wait and see how I beat this stupid dog of yours to death!

Li Shimin was originally very happy because the case of Wu Shigui was solved and Qinghe Cui asked him to mediate the dispute, which benefited him a lot.

Hearing Lu Ziye's report, Dai Zhou's face suddenly darkened and he said seriously:

"Yushi Lu, tell me in detail!"

Lu Zi also straightened up and said quickly:

"Your Majesty, natural disasters and man-made disasters in the north have caused many people in the north to be displaced and leave their homes."

"Nearly 10,000 disaster victims entered Chang'an City, and tens of thousands of refugees gathered outside the city."

"The Minister of Civil Affairs, Dai Zhou, had no countermeasures, which resulted in victims dying on the streets of Chang'an every day, and many cases of banditry and robbery."

"As a result, people in and around Chang'an were living in misery and the common people were suffering beyond words."

"Your Majesty, Dai Zhou, as the Minister of Civil Affairs, cannot escape blame and should be severely punished!"

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched.

There has never been a good way to deal with the disaster of refugees in every dynasty.

Most of the time they just ignore it. If there are troublemakers, they will be suppressed with iron fist. Then they will wait for the disaster to pass, the refugees to disperse, and the problem will be solved naturally.

Dai Zhou had submitted a memorial to the emperor some time ago regarding the disaster of refugees in and around Chang'an City, but the matter was put aside after discussion among the officials.

There was no other way. The national treasury was in short supply and the grain had to be used to protect the victims inside and outside Chang'an City.

Failure to guarantee food rations for northern soldiers and disaster relief funds for northern civilians may result in more civilian deaths.

After weighing the pros and cons, the only option is to sacrifice the car to save the king.

This matter was neither big nor small. The court officials all pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth. As long as no one mentioned it, it didn't happen.

But today, Lu Zi actually came to him and reported Dai Zhou.

This would be impossible if there was no one behind it.

Now Lu Zi also came to the Imperial Study instead of reporting in the Taiji Hall. This was to save face for Li Shimin and also served as a warning.

After a moment's thought, Li Shimin looked at Lu Ziye with a sharp gaze.

He said, "According to what you said, Dai Qing was indeed derelict in his duty and should be punished!"

"Censor Lu, in your opinion, how severe should the punishment be?"

Now it was Lu Zi's turn to be dumbfounded.

He originally thought that Li Shimin would definitely make excuses for Dai Zhou, a loyal minister who cared about the country and the people.

He really didn't expect that Li Shimin would actually ask him how to deal with Dai Zhou.

Suddenly, Lu Ziye became excited again.

If he, an eighth-rank censor, could overthrow Dai Zhou, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

He had the power to act arrogantly in the Censorate, and no one in the court, whether civil or military, dared to offend him, a minister of remonstration who could hold the position of Shangshu.

He immediately rose to prominence and became famous!

Lu Ziye suppressed his excitement, took a step forward, held his head high and said in a resounding voice:
