Yueniang frowned, "How can this be, isn't the prince over there putting grain and grass? Why don't you go and get some grain and boil some rice porridge for the child to drink?"

After hearing this, the woman's eyes turned red again, "My man went yesterday and never came back, I didn't dare to go, and I didn't have the strength to go, I was afraid that if we went again, we would die." ”

"What's going on?" Yueniang could tell that something was wrong.

An old man next to him came over, "Girl, at first glance, you are not an ordinary person, give us a little food, let's live, no, you can give them the two of them, we are the only one left in our family now, it doesn't matter if you live or die, but she is a woman, and she is still holding the child, if the child is gone, I really don't know what to do." ”

The uncle is also skinny, looks scary, and his eye sockets are bulging.

"What's the matter, why don't you take the food and wait here to die?"

The woman wiped away a handful of tears, "My man went to fetch food yesterday, but he was trampled to death. Woo, just leave us orphans and widows. After she finished speaking, Yueniang was shocked.

When she saw Zhao Mingchen's food, there was no order at all, but she wouldn't trample to death.

"Girl, you don't know Ang. They came to warn us that they would not let us go to get food, or we would die, and the man of her family could not see the child starving to death, so he took the risk, but he could not return. Uncle sighed and said.

"What do you mean, what's going on?" Yueniang became more and more confused the more she listened, "Who are they referring to?" Yueniang asked.

The uncle wanted to continue, but when the woman stopped him and shook his head, the uncle also closed his mouth.

"Girl, it's not that I can't tell you, look at us individuals, we are just waiting for death. It would be best if those people were merciful and could give us some food, and if not, they could keep a whole corpse. Because I don't know who the girl is, I can't tell you, who knows if you are an unworldly lady who doesn't know these things. I may have turned around and told you that we people are going to die soon. The woman said.

Yueniang thought for a while, took out a silver ingot from her cuff and put it in front of the woman, "If you tell me what's going on, this silver is yours." Then he held it in his hand.

The silver in Yueniang's hand was only seen by the woman and the uncle, and was not seen by others. Because Yueniang knew that if she let others see it, she would turn around and the woman's silver would be snatched away.

"Are you really going to give it to me?" said the woman, a little confused.

Yueniang nodded, "When the time comes, you can use this silver to save you and your son, think about it." If you're afraid, you can take the money and leave. ”

After thinking about it, the woman hurriedly snatched the silver in Yueniang's hand and hid it in her arms, as if she was afraid that Yueniang would regret it, and then said: "It's that every night a group of people come here, at first I thought it was robbers and others, disguised as ordinary people, because they needed food to sell for money. Driving up the price of food. But one day I saw that they were wearing black clothes and covered faces, but inside they showed the clothes of the government, so I suspected that they should be from the official family. Because it was the prince who sent the grain, they didn't dare to offend, so they could only do it in the hands of the people below. The woman said, "Anyway, it will be true whether we are dead or alive, but if the grain gets into their hands, they will get money." ”

After hearing this, Yueniang was angry, "Are they still here tonight?"

The woman nodded, "I think I will come, because there is an influx of refugees every day, and they can't close the city, so they can only come every day to warn." After waiting for the prince to leave, in the middle of the night, that is, in the middle of the night. ”

Yueniang clenched her fists, they were too much, and they even played with the prince in applause. For the sake of their own interests, they completely disregard the life and death of the people, and they are still some kind of parents.

"Are you credible?"

"Then you can come and see for yourself at night, and see if I am lying to you. After the woman finished speaking, she hurried out of this place of right and wrong with the child in her arms.

Yueniang took out the broken silver and gave it to the uncle.

She hurried to leave, it was full of refugees, and there were hungry crying children, she couldn't give it at all. It will only cause more serious looting.

Yueniang and Hua Xi walked with a heavy face, "I really didn't expect it to be like this, no wonder the grain that came down from the court before was like a stone sinking into the sea, it had no effect at all, it turned out that everyone was filling their pockets." "On the one hand, he is leading the court, and on the other hand, he is the moths in the court, and I am afraid that it will not work if I don't get rid of them.

Hua Xi asked her what her plans were.

Yueniang thought about it, but didn't say anything. "Keep going, I don't care about anything today, first see the problems clearly, and then say, list them one by one for the prince, so that if you see a little solution, it will never hurt, because you have a countermeasure, and others have a countermeasure. Yue Niangyue felt that the prince was a man who didn't have a long head, and he didn't even see those people suspicious at all. ”

But this really can't blame the prince, even he didn't show up in the first place. It's just that when I saw these people rushing food in a mess, there was nothing wrong.

Yueniang and Huaxi came to the other party where the prince put the food again, and saw that it was still those people, who got the food and left, and then came back to grab it, coming and going, but they were all acting. Where are the real refugees, those who inevitably don't have so much strength to grab things.

Yueniang didn't bring too many people with her, otherwise they would all be arrested. So he sent someone to call the prince and informed the prince that Fu Jiayue was coming.

"Didn't you say it doesn't matter?" Hua Xi asked her how she could say one thing and do another.

Yueniang originally wanted to say that let the prince send someone to arrest him, interrogate them well, and definitely ask who is behind the scenes. It's just that he didn't say anything about it for a while, and slapped the prince in the face.

After all, seeing the prince blushing and panting when he was busy working above, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand it if he directly laid out the truth in front of the prince so directly.

So he held back the anger in his heart and smiled at Hua Xi, "Who said that I was looking for the prince just to tell him." ”

After a while, the prince walked over, a little happy, "Why are you here, it's so big outside, you shouldn't come out." ”

"It's okay, just wanted to see how you're doing. ”

Zhao Mingchen was naturally happy to see Yueniang to see him in person. "Don't worry, I'm here. ”

Yueniang nodded, took the pastry in Hua Xi's hand, handed it to Zhao Mingchen and said: "This is the pastry I just bought when I walked to Fulu Pavilion, and the prefect's wife told me that his pastries were the most delicious, so I bought a little and sent it to the prince. ”

"If you don't get in the way, I am glad to see that the people can eat, and I am even happier than I can eat myself. Zhao Mingchen said, it seems that he is cheering for the people, but in fact, they are just cooperating with him to act.

Yueniang sighed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

After leaving, Hua Xi didn't do it, but he bought it for himself when he passed by Fulu Pavilion, but he turned around and gave it away. "Anyway, you're going to have to pay me a loss. ”

Hua Xi said.

Yueniang smiled, "If you like to eat, buy you more." The two of them went to Fulu Pavilion and bought some more. Then they went to the west of the isolated sick city, which was full of refugees, and they were all mixed together, so the plague quickly spread to the good people. After Yueniang's proposal, the people who are not sick will be placed in the east of the city, so all the sick people will be isolated to the west of the city.

The sick in the west of the city are even more pitiful than the refugees in the east of the city, not only those who are hungry, but also those who are sick. One by one, they were coughing and panting, as if they were waiting to die.

Hua Xi handed Yueniang a mask and asked her to take it, looking at the patients everywhere, Yueniang was surprised, she didn't expect that there were so many people, densely packed all the way to the outside of the city.

Yueniang didn't go inside, it was too far, just on the side, she gave the pills that had been made to the two children, gave them some candy, and left.

Yueniang promised to take Huaxi to eat delicious food, and when she was tired of shopping in the city, she found a restaurant to eat. After eating, I returned to the mansion, and it was not early at this time. The crown prince Zhao Mingchen and Xie Bai also came back after a busy day.

The two of them discussed things with the prefect, and said how the city should be rebuilt, and some things to be done next. Yueniang didn't listen, but went directly to the backyard garden, and saw that the prefect's wife had already dried the pills in a big bag, and the follow-up procedures were done well, and many pills had been wrapped in paper.

It seems that she will be able to go out in a few days, and Yueniang remembered that the mask she gave herself this time was also good, which could effectively isolate the virus, so she mobilized the people in the mansion to make more masks and put them on those who were not sick.

Of course, these advances were allocated by the prince, and the prince also gave her this right before.

At dinner, Yueniang didn't say anything.

Because there are many people, there are people in the prefect's house. So she can't say anything, because no one knows whether this matter has anything to do with the prefect or not.

Because of the collusion between officials and officials, and why does the prince live in the prefect's house now, even if he is afraid of thieves, he has no courage to be thieves. But to say that there is no participation at all, Yueniang also doesn't believe it, most of them may have hinted to other officials, it is impossible for him not to know.

But these are just Yueniang's guesses, and the details will not be known until after the investigation.

After dinner, Yueniang stretched her waist to show that she was tired. To go back and rest, then go first. After that, when she returned to her room, she sent a message to the prince and Xie Bai, telling them to come to her courtyard and not let anyone else know.

After the prince had eaten, the prefect said that he would take the two of them out for a while, Xie Bai naturally refused, but the prince was a little moved. After all, there is no entertainment after coming here, and I am busy with business all day long, and it would be false to say that I don't have a little fun.

was about to agree, the people around Yueniang, Zhuru came over,. Said that the young lady had something to look for him.

It's so late, have something to find yourself?

Zhao Mingchen's heart suddenly blossomed, and all he thought about was something to cuckold Xie Bai, so he also rejected the prefect, and followed Zhuru to Yueniang's courtyard.

Walking on the road, Zhao Mingchen also asked Zhuru, "I don't know what your young lady is looking for Prince Ben?"

"This, the slave doesn't know, it's just that my young lady is mysterious, and she only asked me to tell the prince alone. ”

Zhao Mingchen was even happier when he thought about it, in this case, did Yueniang already understand his intentions, so she wanted to see him alone.

It's just that there are too many ideas, and when I got to Yueniang's yard, all of them were shattered.

Because he saw that Xie Bai was also there, he was very puzzled and depressed.

But it didn't show it on the face, so that people could doubt his inner thoughts, which was too obscene.

So he disguised it well.

"I don't know what Yueniang is looking for Prince Ben, it's so late, and I just want to rest. Zhao Mingchen sat down.

Yueniang got up and saluted the prince, "It's really abrupt to call the prince over so late, but Yueniang has to report to the prince now, otherwise, it is very likely that our hard work for days will be in vain." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Mingchen was also vigilant when he heard her say this.

"Zhuru Zhuling, you two are guarding outside the courtyard. Yueniang said.

Because she knew that the partition wall had ears, although there were many guards guarding her yard, she still told Zhuling and Zhuru to go outside, so that the guards could stay away from each other, and they couldn't hear what they were saying again.

After the two girls left, Yueniang said: "Didn't I leave the mansion today, so I saw a lot of refugees, and now they are hungry and whimpering, so I am very curious why they didn't go to get food, but guess what they said?"

"What do you say? Everyone's emotions were stirred up by Yueniang. "Because they are big men, they must not be careful, not like Yueniang, go deep to find out why those people did not come to receive food, maybe they have already received food, maybe they don't need it.

Yueniang paused and said: "It's because every day, a group of strangers will come to the refugee area and warn them not to get food, even if they go to get food, they will be snatched away when they turn around, and they will be beaten." So in fact, the food did not reach the refugees at all. ”

"What???" The prince was furious, slapped his palm on the stone table, and directly knocked over the tea.

"The prince is angry, this, Yueniang also heard it, whether it is true or not, we have to check it ourselves to find out. That's why I wanted to talk to the two of you about it. There is still some time to go, so let's go and see if it's true or not. ”
