"Quick!" After preparing the carrier pigeons, immediately send messages to Gao Lang, telling him to return to the capital immediately! " Jin Xiaolou quickly explained to Nan Yang. With that, she got up and walked out.

After taking Lv Yun with him, he instructed the Attendant s with Rainbow Garden to head to the various grain farms in the capital to collect food.

In half a day's time, they had brought back five horse carriages carrying food. Jin Xiaolou immediately ordered the Attendant to prepare thousands of small sacks, which were filled with food and linen, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

Before she could reach the city gate, the soldier who was the leader of the group came up to her: "The city gate is already closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Young lady, please go back!"

Jin Xiaolou shot a glance at Lv Yun, and Lv Yun immediately avoided the leader of the soldiers, taking the opportunity when all the soldiers were focused on Jin Xiaolou, no one was looking at her, thus she stuck to the corner of the wall and went forward, while Jin Xiaolou called the carriage Attendant behind him to continue walking.

"Sir, we don't want to leave the city. This carriage is filled with rice porridge. I want to give it to the refugees outside."

"Merciful porridge?" The soldier's eyes widened, "You can't go out while the city gates are locked. Don't use this good porridge!"

Just as the leader of the soldiers finished speaking, Lv Yun who was above them shouted out of the city: "My fellow villagers, my brothers and sisters, the calamities and man-made disasters are causing you all to be so hungry that you all can't bear to live. My shopkeeper is truly intolerable, he has specially come to converse with you all today! My shopkeeper has promised that he will definitely find a place for all of you to settle down. It goes without saying that you will be able to shelter from the wind and rain; you will definitely have enough food for three meals a day! "

Once Lv Yun said that, the people below immediately started to boil, they started to cause a ruckus, and even knocked into the city gates.

The leader was so anxious that he slapped the soldier next to him. "Why are you looking at the door? Why did she run upstairs?"

The two soldiers broke out in cold sweat and quickly ran up the city walls in an attempt to catch Lv Yun.

There were many refugees in front of the city gate. They were already afraid of chaos. Once chaos broke out, no one could predict what would happen. When the time came, it would all be spread out over the head of the soldiers.

"Sir Shangguan, don't be in such a hurry!" Jin Xiaolou laughed, "Since the refugees are here, closing the city gates is not a solution. I can't open the city gates, and solve the desperate situation of the refugees, then evacuate the refugees, and restore the unobstructed flow of the city gates!"

Jin Xiaolou continued: "You also know that the reason why the higher-ups sealed this door, was because they were afraid that there would be a mob causing trouble. However, the city gate was closed for a long time, making it easy for people to come and go outside the city. If they were sent away, the danger to the refugees would be eliminated, and their anger would be quelled! At the moment, His Majesty is very worried about how many matters there are in the world. If you can help His Majesty out, then there will be a matter of great concern. This achievement will be enough to raise you to several levels! "

The leader of the soldiers was just a little soldier, he naturally did not know the real meaning behind sealing the city gate, he pondered on Jin Xiaolou's words, the more he thought about it, the more logical it seemed, if he could settle this matter by himself, maybe the higher ups would be happy, and give him a high ranking official to do it, it would truly be a meteorite in the sky.

However, making the door open without permission was still a big deal. He frowned and hesitated, not knowing if he should take his life to gamble.

The refugees below saw the woman who had just promised them being forcefully kidnapped by the two soldiers in the blink of an eye. They were extremely excited as they shouted and shouted. Some of them even picked up rocks to smash the door.

The commotion outside became even more shocking, and the leader of the soldiers was in a dilemma.

They all said that the greater the risk, the greater the reward, what should he do?

Seeing the soldier hesitating, Jin Xiaolou replied slowly: "Sir, please be at ease. I will first pacify the refugees, and then think of a way to make them leave the house.

"You have a way to get them to leave?" The soldier was surprised.

"That's right!" Jin Xiaolou smiled, "Didn't I say that I want to cook? I know that the city gate cannot be opened, so I prepared a gunny sack in advance. As long as I can put the rice in the sack and throw them down one by one, I can fill their stomachs and tell them to listen to me with peace of mind! "

The soldier's eyes lit up, just as he was about to open his mouth to agree, he saw the Supreme Court's Young Official, Bai Ruyi, walk quickly towards him.

Wearing a long jade orchid robe, Bai Ruyi walked in front of the few of them and lightly nodded in acknowledgement.

He had already felt that the city gates were strangely closed, so he always hung in front of them, wanting to find out the reason why they were shut.

Everything that Jin Xiaolou and the rest had done just now, was seen by Bai Ruyi.

He admired Jin Xiaolou from the bottom of his heart, but his gaze was not fixated on Jin Xiaolou at all. He only pursed his lips, and spoke to the soldier leader: "Do as Boss Jin says!"

"Boss Jin?" The soldier was shocked, "Boss Jin of the Liuli Workshop?!"

"So he is actually such a famous person. I knew it! How could such a good idea be come up with by ordinary people!" The soldier immediately flattered Jin Xiaolou, and after hearing that the Supreme Court's Young Official had also spoken, he did not hesitate anymore and agreed to Jin Xiaolou's plan immediately.

Jin Xiaolou ordered the Attendant to put the grains into the gunny sack and tie it properly. Then, she threw the bags down from the top of the city wall.

When he threw the first and second bags, he immediately shouted and snatched it away. Jin Xiaolou quickly replied, "No need to snatch it, everyone has it!"

She kept her word. Half of the food in the capital had already been taken away by her. It was enough for the refugees below to have two bags each.

The people who received the sack opened it in panic. When they saw the white rice inside, tears and snot almost flowed out. Many of them even knelt down and kowtowed toward the people on the walls.

He felt that those above were all sent by the gods to save their lives.

"After everyone has eaten their fill, head east for a mile. There is a Spirit Water Village! If you trust me, then you can just wait there. Not only will you not bring everyone here to become rich, you will definitely be able to fill your stomachs! "

Jin Xiaolou still remembered that when the Linlang Workshop was about to crumble, Xia Gu had bought a lot of fields and livestock in the Spirit Water Village, so it was just right for her to borrow them now.

After Jin Xiaolou finished speaking, the refugees carrying sacks all replied, "Lady Xian! Since you have saved our lives, we will naturally trust you! "

Lv Yun looked at the grateful faces of the people below him and felt touched herself. She shouted at the top of his lungs: "Our shopkeeper's name is Jin Xiaolou! Just call her Boss Jin! "

More voices came from below, "Boss Jin, let's go!" "Boss Jin, no matter how long it takes, you will always be waiting!" Boss Jin, we will go wherever you want us to go! "

Looking at the thousands of refugees gathered in front of the city gate, who left in a flash, the soldier was shocked. This Boss Jin was really powerful! No wonder it could make the business so big!

"Open the gates!" The leader of the soldiers stood on the wall and shouted.

The pouring rain shrouded the entire capital in a thick layer of water vapor. A bolt of purple lightning streaked across the sky, and with a kacha sound, the dark sky turned bright.

In the imperial court, most of the officials kneeling on the floor were trembling in fear at the sudden noise.

Wind gushed into the hall from outside, blowing against the bead curtain in front of Empress Dowager Gao. The eunuch attending to his side hurried forward to protect him. However, Empress Dowager Gao spoke out straightforwardly, "If you have something to say, do it. If you have nothing to do, leave the court. "It's raining heavily, so let's all return early."

With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

The new emperor was submissive, but just as he was about to stand up, someone shouted from below, "May the empress dowager return to the throne and his Majesty!"

Empress Dowager Gao raised her eyebrows, and the eunuch by his side shouted: "Impudent!"

The people below were neither humble nor haughty. "The imperial court is the court of the Zhao family with the Great Zhou. This world is also the emperor's world. For the sake of the Great Zhou, this subject has risked my life to advise you, hoping that the empress dowager will find a way back! "

"Since you know you are risking your life, what else can you say?" Empress Dowager Gao did not even blink, "Drag him down and kill him."

"Yes." The eunuchs on both sides immediately went forward, dragging the old official below them by the arm as they walked out of the hall.

With this, a large number of people in the great hall kneeled down.

The old official was the Minister of the Civil Service. He had worked in the field for half his life and was about to return home in glory, yet he lost his life in this way.

"Empress Dowager, think twice!" Another person shouted, "It's against the rules for the empress dowager to act in such a way. The rules are the foundation of the nation, so empress dowager .."

Before that person could finish speaking, Empress Dowager Gao coldly spoke out: "What, do you also want to accompany the Minister of the Government?"

"This, this .." The people below did not dare to say anything more.

After a while, most of the officials in the hall took off their black muslin hats. "If the empress dowager is going to do this, then we'll have to use that as an excuse."

"Her Majesty is the dictator. Her Majesty is young, and Prince Xian can only rely on you to take charge of the situation now!"

Thus, Prince Xian stood up, and just as he took a step forward, he still calmly spoke, and said word by word: "Are all of you planning to kill the monarch and rebel?"

As soon as the words "King Slaughterer and Rebellion" came out of his mouth, the New Emperor's legs on the Dragon Throne went limp, and he actually fell straight onto the ground.
