Chapter 28: She must have encountered some difficulties

Without thinking too much, Qi Mohan unlocked the screen of his mobile phone.

This was also Si Si’s intention. The passwords of the two mobile phones were the same, so Qi Mohan easily unlocked them successfully.

The mobile phone screen had many more icons of various colors than the previous one, but Qi Mohan ignored them all and went straight to the gallery.

When he opened the first video in the album, he saw Si Si being held by the arm by a woman wearing “strange clothes”.

The voice inside was also very clear: [What are you doing?]

This was Si Si talking, and she was completely different from her usual soft-spoken self. Qi Mohan noticed that her voice was particularly tense, which shows how helpless and scared Si Si was at that time.

For some reason, Qi Mohan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Who was so blind that she bullied such a kind girl?

Qi Mohan resisted the urge to kill and continued to watch the video.

When he saw a group of people coming to pull Si Si, he stood up suddenly and slammed the table beside him.

The poor Huanghuali wood table was smashed by someone’s palm……

If Si Si saw this, she would be in great pain. Such a valuable antique was gone just like that!!!

Qi Mohan didn’t care about antiques at this moment. If he could, he wanted to fly to Si Si’s side and cut those who bullied her into pieces.

He had never felt so angry before, and he didn’t even realize it.

At this time, Imperial Concubine Yun also came over to watch the content of the video with Qi Mohan.

As soon as she stood firm, she saw Si Si’s hair being pulled by someone.

“How can this be? How can so many people bully a little girl like this?” When Imperial Concubine Yun saw Si Si being wronged, she was so angry that she trembled when she spoke.

While she was speaking up for Si Si, the video continued to play.

At this time, Tang Xu was anxious to help Si Si out of trouble, so he held the phone a little unsteadily, and the scene in the video was shaky. It was obvious that this was a recording of a person fighting with someone else.

Imperial Concubine Yun wanted to know what happened to Si Si from Qi Mohan, but the video was not clear, and she could only judge from the voices in it.

Immediately afterward, they heard Si Si shouting: [All of you, let go of me. I will find a way to pay the overdue wages. I won’t let you work in vain… Senior, don’t get involved. If they continue like this, call the police.]

These two sentences contain a lot of information about Qi Mohan and Imperial Concubine Yun.

From Si Si’s words, it can be judged that those who bullied her were here to collect debts, and the person she called senior should be helping. What was the relationship between this person and Si Si?

And the last two words “call the police”, do they mean to report to the yamen?

If this was the case, and the matter has reached the point of reporting to the yamen, will Si Si, a young lady, be bullied again if she goes to court?

Just when Qi Mohan and Imperial Concubine Yun were most worried about Si Si’s safety, the video finally returned to normal.

Si Si was still controlled by those people and could not move. Then she said that she needed a day to find a solution. Gradually, things eased up.

Seeing that Si Si was no longer being pulled by so many people, the two of them were relieved.

Qi Mohan and Imperial Concubine Yun didn’t know the specific situation of why Si Si encountered so many people asking for debt.

But from Si Si’s words, it can be judged that the latter did owe those people wages, and it should cost a lot of money to settle.

Imperial Concubine Yun watched the video of Si Si being bullied, and she was still a little shocked. She patted her seat and sat down slowly: “Mohan, I believe Miss Si Si didn’t deliberately withhold wages. She must have encountered some difficulties.”

Qi Mohan’s face was still cloudy: “Mother, I wonder if the gold and silver here can help her solve the current situation.”

This was the result of Qi Mohan’s thinking for a long time. He thought of the time when Daqi Kingdom once traded with the surrounding countries, the copper money they used could not be circulated between each other, and all gold and silver were used instead.

Because of this, he thought of this layer.

Since it was impossible to show up to help Si Si resist those people’s entanglement, the best solution was to find a way to help her collect money to pay the wages of those people.

Imperial Concubine Yun thought quickly: “What you said makes sense, but in this case, where can we get gold and silver for Miss Si Si?”

This was the most difficult problem. Imperial Concubine Yun doesn’t think that Qi Mohan will have any way to get gold and silver.

If he could get it, the people of Qiushui City would not be so hungry that they would have to eat grassroots and tree bark to survive.

For Qi Mohan, this was indeed a difficult problem.

However, to help Si Si, he doesn’t want to just sit there and wait for death.

“This son plans to take people out of the city tonight to find a solution.”

Imperial Concubine Yun was puzzled when she heard this: “Out of the city?”

Qi Mohan nodded firmly: “Mother, you should also know that after the drought in Qiushui City, those officials who abandoned the people quietly took away a lot of money from the public accounts of the fiefdom when they left.”

“My subordinates have already reported that they have found the hiding places of several people…”

After hearing this, what else does Imperial Concubine Yun not understand?

“Mohan, what are you going to do?”

Qi Mohan nodded firmly: “Even if it’s not to help Miss Si Si out of trouble, I will not let those unkind and unjust people go. Things that do not belong to them must be returned sooner or later.”

Although he had the intention to go out to clean up the door, he didn’t think about going immediately.

After all, Qiushui City had just obtained food and water sources through Si Si, and Qi Mohan originally planned to leave after everything was stable.

But now that he knew that Si Si had such a thing, the plan could be advanced.

Imperial Concubine Yun approved of Qi Mo Han’s approach. She once wanted to recover the money in order to find a channel to buy food.

Now, they can get food for the people from Si Si, so there was no need to spend a fortune to buy food.

It can be said that this money was really useless for the time being, except for helping Si Si out of trouble.

“Okay, just take people to do the work tonight, and leave Qiushui City to Mother.”

Just as the mother and son made the decision, they heard the servants’ overjoyed voices coming from outside the door.

“Imperial Concubine, His Royal Highness Prince Rong, someone just saw clear water flowing into the river.”

Qi Mohan and Imperial Concubine Yun looked at each other, and a touch of joy appeared in the eyes of both mother and son.

“Mohan, the water couldn’t have flowed out of this dry well, could it?”

“Mother, we’ll know if it flows out from here once we see it.”

In Qi Mohan’s mind, he was already 80% sure that this was the case. He went to check the dry well in the yard last night.

At that time, water could already be seen in the well. He tentatively lowered the wheel and saw clear water out of the wooden barrel.
