"It's fine. Xie Bai was not so excited, but he was also very angry. Although he had long thought that there would be horses' feet, he didn't expect the other party to do so much, and he didn't leave any food for the people.

The crown prince Zhao Mingchen couldn't wait for a moment, and hurriedly said that he would gather people to arrest people.

"Never. Yueniang said.

Zhao Mingchen raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "Why not, didn't you say that they would come over when the time came?" ”

Yueniang looked at him and said: "Why didn't I say it at the dinner table before, it's because I suspect that the prefect is also involved in this matter, of course, this is just speculation, and it will all be up to the prince to investigate when the time comes." So we are now living in the prefect's mansion, and others naturally know our every move. So I think it's better not to startle the snake, there must be a few people with strong martial arts around the prince, just bring them. ”

The prince nodded, feeling that what Yueniang said made sense. However, although he didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with the prefect, he was still cautious, "Okay, then let's go." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Yueniang, don't go with you. Xie Bai said: "I'm afraid that it will be dangerous to wait, and it's so late, you should rest early, you have been working as hard as us in the past few days." Xie Bai said distressedly.

"I'm fine, if I only let you pass, I won't be at ease. You've all gone, and I don't know how it's going, so I've been worried about where I'll be able to sleep. And I'm sure you can protect me. Yueniang smiled and said.

Zhao Mingchen glanced at Xie Bai, and then said to Yueniang: "This matter was discovered by Yueniang, and it is naturally good for Yueniang to go." Don't be afraid, even if Xie Bai can't protect you, there is still Prince Ben. ”

"Then thank you Prince. Yueniang pulled the corners of her mouth, and she didn't need his protection in her heart, but she still said it very sweetly. After all, the identity of the people is there, although they hate it, but it is not bad, at least they are willing to do things for the people now, that is good.

In fact, the prince was even more angry that he was tricked.

A group of several people lay in ambush around the refugees, pretending to be refugees, lying on the ground.

After a while, a group of men in black came over, and they didn't say anything. Go directly to the women on the ground, as long as it is a woman, turn it over and check, as long as it is good-looking, bring it up, those women want to struggle, but they are threatened to shut up, otherwise they will die.

They don't bring much, only a few at a time that look quite good. Then he said to the other refugees: "I have found someone today to receive grain and grass, and you can also receive that grain and grass? I tell you, all those who have received food and grass will not live long, don't have food by then, and your life will be taken inside, I know that many of you are new people who have come to the city, and you will !!leave tomorrow as soon as possible."

In this way, they would come every night to collect people, although there was still an endless stream of people pouring into the city, because they had heard that the people in the court of the city were distributing grain and grass, so they all came to receive food and grass, but this situation became less and less every day. Because there are many people who have not only not received food and grass, but even their own daughters are gone, and even their lives may be gone.

So, the refugees who are here the first day usually find out that the situation is not right and leave.

After leaving, other refugees will naturally advise them, one or two of them, and those refugees may not believe it, because they are afraid that they will deliberately say this and not let them go to get food. But if all the people you meet say that, then no one will come. So the prince thought that there were not many refugees.

It's really a good ploy.

"If I find out that you haven't left tomorrow, then you know, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave again. The man said.

The girl in their hands tried to struggle, but she threatened them with a dagger, telling them that if they dared to speak out, they would die. But their family members naturally did not do it, kneeling on the ground and begging them to let their girl go, saying that they would leave at dawn every day.

But without saying a word, he was beaten.

They fell to the ground and stopped talking.

Everyone was scared silly, and no one dared to resist. Originally, they didn't have any strength, and they hadn't eaten for several days, so they were even more frightened and didn't dare to speak out.

The man said, "We have brought these girls to their pleasure, and if we had left them behind, we would not have starved to death." It's better to go with us than to starve, and you'd better get acquainted with each other, or you'll be dead tonight. They said.

Zhao Mingchen's angry teeth were talking.

It turned out that he had worked hard for so many days to distribute grain and grass, and finally it all went into the pockets of these individuals.

"What should I do?" Seeing that they were about to leave, Yueniang became anxious.

"Up!" the prince gestured, and everyone moved their hands to subdue the individuals. It was just a sudden moment, and they were powerless.

"Who are you???" the man growled.

"It's not up to you to know who it is. The prince's subordinate said.

Immediately the prince appeared, and the man's eyes shrank, and Yueniang knew that he must know the prince.

"Take !! away"

"Yes. ”

Such a turmoil seems to have stopped.

The prince went away angrily.

Yueniang and Xie Bai stayed, Yueniang looked at these trembling people, couldn't bear it, and said: "None of you have to leave tomorrow, come to collect grain and grass as usual, don't worry, there will be more patrols in this city, don't be afraid, someone will come to punish these arresters." ”

When these people heard this, although they didn't know what Yueniang's identity was, they still knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that she was a female Bodhisattva.

Xie Bai sent Yueniang back to the mansion, saying that the prince was interrogating him overnight.

Yueniang shook her head, feeling that there was no need to panic about this matter.

"Take me to see it. ”

In a deserted courtyard on the outskirts, the men were tied up, and the prince was shaking the whip vigorously, which was specially made with barbs, and the skin was peeled with a whip.

The individuals howled, but never said who it was.

Yueniang stopped the prince and told him not to worry.

"I'm so angry, these individuals, it's not too much to kill them. Zhao Mingchen put down the whip in his hand and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard angrily.

It is not too early for the hour, so why bother with these people?

Yueniang smiled and said: "The prince doesn't have to be angry, now these people are already in the hands of the prince, they are just instructed by the people behind the scenes." But we have already grabbed the other party's tail, and the other party will naturally show its feet. So even if we kill them, these individuals are likely to be from the government, or they may not. Now that the world is so chaotic, it's just to get a bite to eat for yourself and your family. If they have the lives of their families in their hands, even if you kill them, they will not say it, and in this case, there is no need to be angry and expend this energy. ”

"Then what do you mean?" the prince couldn't help but ask, did he just let these people go?

Naturally, it is not to let these people go.

Yueniang said: "Just wait for those individuals to show their feet, and we will continue to distribute grain and grass." ”

"The grain and grass were also distributed, and in the end, didn't it all go into the pockets of those individuals?" the prince was very puzzled, not knowing what Yueniang thought.

Yueniang nodded, "Now the situation is urgent, we also saw just now, most of those people are weak, if they don't distribute food and grass, they are likely to starve to death in the city." They had only come here when they had heard about the distribution of grain and grass in the city, and they had come here with almost all hopes, and they would have been reluctant to leave if they were told to leave, and they did not have much strength to leave. It is very likely that they will all die in this city in the end, and the plague will spread even more violently. ”

Xie Bai nodded and said, "It takes a long time to clean up the corpses in the city every day. Food and grass cannot be cut off, and they need rescue. ”

"But I was unwilling to send it into the hands of those villains, and I dared to calculate the prince of Ben, if I wanted to know who it was, I must destroy his nine clans. ”

Also, if this is the case, even if the grain and grass are distributed, it will not reach the hands of the people in the end.

Yueniang thought for a while and said: "Actually, this is very easy to do, first, because we have arrested the other party's people, the other party will definitely be weak-hearted, and dare not send people to receive food, even if they still send people to receive food, they will let the refugees take part of it, and they dare not take it all as in the past." In this way, we also have a way to deal with it, no matter what the other party does, we can make the other party unable to get any food and grass. It's just that it's more strenuous. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Boil the grain and grass into porridge, and we will give the porridge. Yueniang said firmly: "In this way, these grains and grasses can be used well and distributed to the hands of the people." Because if it is boiled into porridge, the weather is so hot, the next day will definitely be rancid and unable to drink, one is to dispel the years of those bad people, and the other is to ensure that every person has to drink porridge, will not take more and receive more, at least ensure their names first. Yueniang said.

The crown prince nodded, "This is not lacking in a good idea. ”

"We just need to boil the rice into porridge and add a little more water so that the food can last a little longer. In this way, the other party will also be anxious and will definitely think of other ways. I have already found out who the family members of these people are, and there will be clues from their families. Yueniang said.

"Yueniang, you are really my living treasure, you are almost the crown prince's military, amazing, really powerful. ”

Zhao Mingchen praised without hesitation.

Yueniang smiled, "It's not too late now, let's go back and rest early, I have to be busy tomorrow." As for this, it is better to send two people to handle it. "Because the prefect is also among the targets of suspicion, it is not appropriate to take these people to the mansion or have them interrogated.

It can only be said that the temporary guard is here.

The next day, everyone was still in full swing.

Zhao Mingchen found two cauldrons and boiled porridge on the spot for everyone to drink.

Coupled with Yueniang's proposal, let them line up and come one by one to receive the porridge, and everyone has a share. But I found that I couldn't keep up with it at all.

Zhao Mingchen wanted Yueniang to help, but Qin Yuman took the initiative to apply for soup kitchen.

It stands to reason that her delicate eldest lady, even if she wants to behave, is a chore, and she stands outside for a day, from morning to night, in the wind and sun.

And in front of the people, no matter how noble your status is, now that people can't afford to eat, you can't take out the set in the capital and don't eat it at all. So doing the work means you have to do it yourself, rather than finding a cool place to stay and let someone else do it.

In this way, the meaning of sending them to appease the people in the capital is gone.

Therefore, Qin Yuman had to do things in person, and wanted to behave well in front of the prince. She could now pronounce it simply, say simple words, but in a very small voice.

Yueniang doesn't care, she will go if she likes.

Anyway, I didn't plan that she could help her, and the delicate eldest lady might as well stay in the mansion and be pampered. But since she is willing to take this step, it is good to go out and experience the labor of the public.

Broaden your horizons, and it will inevitably be as if others are thinking about her prince all day long.

Yueniang also has her own errands, and the number of pills in the past few days has been enough, and she has prepared it. So she and Hua Xi delivered medicine to the people. Because Riyue Niang had already given the pills to several children, they were almost fine now.

So the people regarded this pill as a miracle medicine,

Especially knowing that this medicine bowl was developed by Yueniang, everyone knelt down to worship her, saying that she was like a goddess to save them.

This patient is endless, and Yueniang is really tired, so she lets others take it. Zhu Ling and Zhu Ru were also busy, Hua Xi wiped a handful of sweat, and walked over, "Fortunately, we have saved a lot of physical strength when we used this method, if we used the old method, we would have diagnosed and treated the medicine one by one, and I don't know how busy it would be." ”

Yueniang nodded, "It's Ang, thanks to my intelligence." ”

Hua Xi looked at her with disdain.

Yueniang smiled and didn't care, but saw a girl, this girl was a little familiar, her mother was sick, so she stayed by her side to take care of it.

Yueniang suddenly remembered that night, the one she was almost caught, and then let go

Yueniang was curious, what they were going to do with them.

However, they have been busy for the past few days, and those few people have not been tortured, and everything seems to be calm. However, in a few days, some people came to inform them that there was a problem with taking Yueniang's medicine, and many people had crooked corners of their mouths and foamed at the mouth, which was very serious.

Yueniang was shocked, how could this be possible.

Could it be that some people are not plagues, but other diseases, so they use drugs to stimulate recurrence?

But it won't be on a large scale.
