Chapter 372

The recent looting of relief food has shocked the whole country, but this is not what they want to see, and no one has the means to influence it.

Pastoral felt that he needed to say something, these people might have misunderstood something, "My father pulled out a million stones of grain to go to the south to save his life, but he was robbed, this is an accident. Now he has ordered a strict investigation, and the grain and grass will soon be recovered. You should not take any chances, robbing me is not only a great sin, but it will also cost you your life. β€œ

The young man seemed to have heard some big joke, "Princess, are you so stupid or do you think that everyone in the world is just like you?" What is the amount of grain and grass in millions of stones, who can have such an ability to say that it is robbed, has the court found out any results after so many days, is there not. ”

Pastoral is naΓ―ve but not stupid, "What do you mean, you mean the emperor...... You bastard. ”

Although she doesn't like the emperor's actions very much, in the end it is her father, and she refuses to admit defeat in front of a group of people who have robbed her. She stared at the man angrily, unwilling to believe a word he said.

"What I mean is obvious, either, the emperor never wanted to save us south, or ...... It was someone under him who did something, and he ...... Blind eye. ”

The young man seemed to be really angry, and his outstretched hands were full of clear and recognizable green tendons, "Do you know that millions of people in the south of me are now heading north. Wherever they went, they were taken upon as outlaws, and they were pursued by armies, but they refused to help. The people had no food to eat. Ate up the bark, ate everything that could be eaten on the ground, so they ...... It's been easy to eat for a long time. ”

What a bloody and cruel word.

There was a hint of horror in those blank eyes.

Madrigal's eyes widened, as if he had heard something crazy. Is it ......

"Yes, it's cannibalism. They could not bear to eat their own children, so they exchanged them with each other. ”

The young man suddenly couldn't speak, he turned his head to look at the madrigal, tears flowed from his clear and angry eyes, and the whole person was very desperate for no reason.

The long-term malnutrition made him look very thin, but he was still mental, but for some reason, Madrigal felt that the young man's spiritual world collapsed at that moment.

She hesitated, "But what are you going to do when you go into the city?" Tying me up is of no more use than to bring you death. ”

"Naturally useful. We don't want to live, we just want to die. But before dying, you must also let the magnates of the capital know what kind of despair the people of the southern country are experiencing, and let the emperor know that the people are kind, but they have to live. If he is willing to open a warehouse and release grain, the people will naturally be willing to forgive, if not......"

A hint of coldness suddenly flashed in the young man's clear eyes, "Princess, I can only say that your luck is not good. ”

At the end of the conversation between the two people, Xie Bai also followed.

Guandi Temple is in the slum area in the west of the city, surrounded by some low courtyards, Xie Bai saw at a glance that the Guandi Temple was surrounded by people with three layers inside and three layers outside, and those people were all terrified to look at this young man who suddenly broke in, they were poorly dressed, they were embarrassed, the whites of their eyes were very large, and they looked like they were suffering from long-term malnutrition.

Xie Bai felt that the blood on his body was cold all of a sudden, and these were indeed homeless.

But he also knew that these were not ordinary outcasts, because there were no old and weak women among them, only men in the prime of life. Why did these people enter the city, and why they kidnapped an imperial princess on the street of Qingchen, is it a coincidence, or someone is fueling the trouble, Xie Bai has no way for the time being.

All he knew now was that he had to make sure that Princess Madrigal was safe. As long as the princess is safe, these people will not cause a catastrophe.

No, maybe they've caused a catastrophe. At least madrigal...... I am afraid that there will be no possibility of peace and joy in this life.

Xie Bai frowned, not only sad that Muge was innocently involved in such a thing, but also angry at the cruelty of those powerful people who treated human life like a weed.

He dismounted, and the men immediately gathered around, most of them armed with weapons, but they were nothing more than ordinary clubs.

Xie Bai looked at the horror of those people when they saw him, "Who is the biggest of you here, I want to talk to him." β€œ

Those people didn't speak, and someone shouted twice at the Guandi Temple, and sure enough, someone walked out.

It must have been a very young man, and although his clothes were in tatters, he still stood straight. The young man's eyes were clean, and he was no ordinary outcast.

Xie Bai thought that the displaced people had already been squeezed and oppressed, and it was impossible for them to be so neat, these people were obviously carefully organized, and ordinary people could not do it at all.

He looked at the young man, his voice as calm as possible, "What about the princess." Hand over the princess. β€œ

No matter what they want, they can't hurt an innocent girl. Pastoral songs fall into the hands of the homeless, such a thing cannot be hidden. A princess who has ruined the royal face, no matter how much the queen wants to protect her, it is impossible to keep it, at least those people in the court will definitely talk about this matter.

He wants to rescue Yue Ge, preferably before the arrival of the forbidden army brought by Zhao Mingqi. But Xie Bai also knew how fast he passed the forbidden army, so there was very little time left for him.

The young man glanced at Xie Bai and smiled, "We didn't make a joke when we robbed the princess, who are you, you dare to speak." Except for the emperor, no one could take her away. β€œ

Xie Bai frowned, "The princess is just a girl, what did you tie her up for." Although the emperor loves the princess, it is impossible for him to bow his head in front of the exiles. ”

"Then I will kill her, let the whole world see, the emperor of a country can't even keep his own children. ”

Murderous intent burst out in the young man's eyes.

He really had murderous intentions towards the madrigal, because he knew as well as Xie Bai that since the madrigal fell into their hands, the dignity of the golden branch and jade leaf would no longer be there.

Xie Bai couldn't make sense, so he suddenly pulled out his sword and flew through the encirclement of those homeless people, and suddenly landed opposite the young man. 、

That young man was actually a martial arts master, but his moves were different from those of the masters of the rivers and lakes.

He used his fists to open Xie Bai's sword, and he fought him with his agility.

Xie Bai was already surprised when he came down, he knew that this young man might not be his opponent, but he had no advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

He used his skill to collect his sword, "You are a soldier?!"

Xie Bai doubted whether this young man would be a person from the rivers and lakes invited by a certain powerful person in the capital, but the soldiers' skills and martial arts were mainly based on hand-to-hand combat.

He could tell that this young man's martial arts path was different from others, he punched, and his hands were very powerful, which was completely a curved battlefield special fighting technique.

But there is a military leader among the displaced people, and they want to do whatever they want.

Xie Bai put away his sword and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who the hell are you?" ”

A person's eyes don't deceive.

This young man's eyes are very clean, he is not the kind of person who will make a fortune, and although he was fighting with him just now, he was actually just dismantling the swordsmanship with him, and he didn't have the intention of killing each other.

The contemptuous man looked at Xie Bai and laughed softly, "It is said that the son of the Xie family in the capital has the majesty of the old man back then, but it seems to be true." ”

Xie Bai was not swayed by this young man, "It is a capital crime for you to kidnap the princess, but I know that you group of homeless people must also have a hard time." But...... If you are in the army, why are you mixed in with this group of outcasts? ”

If you want to add sin, there is no word.

These people were able to enter the city, and they were already being used as gunmen. Xie Bai sympathized with these homeless people, and didn't want them to lose their lives in vain, but at the moment, if this person was from the military camp, then no one could guarantee whether this was another big plan to steal the day.

"Gongzi Xie, do you know who I am. The young man suddenly put away all the murderous and desolate. "I am Pei Yi, the son of Pei Shengjie, the river envoy of Nandao Town. ”

A young man has a son like Pei Yi, which is a good story that has been circulated among the people for a long time.

Pei Shengjie, the envoy of the town and river in Nandao, is the town guard of the southern military, and now there is a disaster in the south, and the people are making trouble. The imperial court intends to send troops to maintain law and order, but Pei Shengjie has been in contact.

Just over an hour ago, the old man was still discussing with him what was wrong with this matter.

Xie Bai didn't expect to see Pei Yi here, does that mean ...... Pei Shengjie is more than lucky. He was shocked, "These people ...... These people are not outcasts. ”

He wondered how it was not easy for ordinary homeless people to come thousands of miles to live, how could they still break into the capital.

Pei Shengjie commanded the army, and he also had some connections in Beijing, and this time Pei Yi, as his son, must have taken advantage of the relationship of some old people to enter the city.

Xie Bai was shocked and shocked, the south had been unable to contact him for many days, who would have imagined that the son of a military official would appear at the feet of this son of heaven.

Pei Yi saw that Xie Bai had already guessed a little, and smiled sadly, "Yes, these people are not homeless, but my father's soldiers." They are all soldiers guarding one side, but they ended up like this, Gongzi Xie...... Don't you think it's ridiculous. ”

"What the hell is going on, General Pei?" Xie Bai couldn't care about the pastoral song at this time, he had to find out the truth of the matter. You know, these people are supposed to defend the empire's thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, but they have turned into outcasts...... No, Xie Bai vaguely felt that they were homeless.

Jiangnan was seriously affected, and the imperial court issued a million stone grain relief, although no one wanted to see the grain robbed, but the matter had to find a way to solve it.

Although the emperor is faint, he is still sober in this matter, after all, Jiangnan is the richest place in the whole country.

He gave death orders to everyone along the way, asking all towns to open cities to save people and provide relief to the victims as much as possible.

Why...... Xie Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, "You tell me, what happened." ”

Pei Yi was originally the son of Jiangmen, and he was born with more tenacity than ordinary people. He was young, not a belligerent, and did not feel that there was anything to hide, "what else is there to say." The hundreds of thousands of people in the hands of the Nandao Zhenhe envoy are all gone. My father was afraid and didn't know whose belly he had entered. ”

Xie Bai's eyes suddenly widened to the limit, and he trembled a little inexplicably, the hundreds of thousands of troops under the Nandao Zhenhe envoy, the generals of An Min's side, were cooked.

What an astonishing tragedy, but he ended up like this...... What about the others......

Xie Bai couldn't imagine it, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of hell it would be on earth when they, the people and magnates who were far away in the north, were enjoying peace in the south of the imperial river.

The biggest taboo of a swordsman is to hold the weapon in his hand at any time, and to make a bow that can be shot at any time. But the sword in Xie Bai's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he suddenly couldn't see the scene in front of him clearly, only feeling as if his body was about to fall.

In the distance, the people brought by Zhao Mingqi were already receiving them, and everyone heard the sound of soldiers and horses, as well as ...... The sound of death.

Pei Yi also put away his mood, "The reason why I am willing to talk to you so much is just because I once saw you when I entered Beijing with my father, and his old man said that you are a good person, and I believe in my father's vision." Mr. Xie, let's go. ”

Xie Bai finally didn't know what they were going to do, he looked at Pei Yi complicatedly, "Give me the princess, I believe she is useless to you." ”

Pei Yi ignored him, turned around, entered the Guandi Temple again, and when he came out again, he bet on the pastoral song.

When Muge saw Xie Bai, he cried all of a sudden, but Xie Bai didn't have time to care about this, he just looked sadly at Pei Yi and tried to persuade him in the end, "You let the princess go, the emperor will open up." ”

"Let's go!" Pei Yi pulled the knife on Mu Ge's neck hard, and a long blood mark immediately appeared on her slender snow-white neck.

Xie Bai took a breath and calmed down.

He withdrew from the encirclement of those homeless people, turned around and turned on horseback to find Zhao Mingqi in the forbidden army.

The Guandi Temple was surrounded by forbidden troops, surrounded by archers, and there were black pressure armor soldiers. Zhao Mingqi nodded his head, dressed in a purple robe, followed by the queen, and some ladies in the palace, it seems that this matter cannot be contained.

Zhao Mingqi motioned to Xie Bai not to speak, he rode Bai forward, his eyes gloomy, "You and other bandits are so bold that they dare to kidnap the princess of the Heavenly Family, let the princess go, and Rao Er will die quickly." ”

In the pile of displaced people, Pei Yi stood upright. He glanced at Xie Bai, saw that he was looking at him in great distress and anxiety, and then at the queen, the woman who was tall and beautifully dressed, and her face was wrinkled at this time, and she was eager to behead him, a rebellious minister.

He thought it was funny, and it was not worth it for those who died for no reason, "Do you say let it go?"

Zhao Mingqi didn't think that these people could be frightened by his two voices, he looked at those people coldly and ruthlessly, "What are you going to do." ”

Pei Yi pointed to the queen who was sitting in a sedan chair behind Zhao Mingqi and was looking at them, his face was calm, "Let her tell me." ”

In the end, the queen is the one who rolled through the bloody wind and rain in the palace, even if her daughter was coerced, she still looked calm and unhurried, and got off the sedan chair very calmly. Her voice was low and indifferent, and she didn't look anxious.

"What are you going to tell me. "The queen's gaze never fell on the madrigal," you say. ”

Pei Yi seems to be well aware of her identity and abilities.

His voice was extremely resolute, "I want the imperial court to prepare a million stone grain to be transported to the south within three days to save people, and send more than 1,000 doctors into the south to treat the plague." ”

Pestilence!

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

The queen's face also turned pale, "The emperor only pulled out a million stones half a month ago, and now the palace is almost empty, and he can't pull it out." But I can promise you, doctor. Disaster relief is what the imperial court should do. ”

Pei Yi's cold gaze swept over the forbidden army that surrounded them under the black pressure, "How many people can be saved by a million stones, you people should really go and see those poor people, if they are not hungry, why will they be infected with the plague." Now that there is no food, the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River will be wiped out. If you can't do it in three days, your daughter will die. ”

He used a little more force.

This time the wound was probably a little deeper, and the madrigal cried out in pain.

The queen didn't blink an eyelid, "You promise you." ”

"Why should I believe you? Pei Yi knew that the queen's words might not be worth believing, but only her words were the most credible.

"Because I'm a mother. "I assure you, in the honor of an imperial empress, that all your requests will be met, and that if I break my oath, I, my child, will die at the hands of the outcasts, and there will be no place to bury." ”

Xie Bai on the side felt that if the queen's temperament could say such a thing, she would probably be driven crazy.

Pei Yi didn't mean to let go at all, "I want you to assure that whoever robbed the million life-saving food and let him die." ”

"Good!"

Xie Bai felt that Pei Yi had already reported his mortal intention by breaking into the city like this, but he didn't know how many people would die in today's incident. And in the thousands of miles south under the whitewashing of the peace by everyone, is it really as Pei Yi said, eating different children, hell on earth.

Guandi Temple is very quiet, it is clear that the iron bucket around it is the same, and the black pressure is full of people, but it is very quiet.

Xie Bai's hearing was very sharp, and he could hear everyone's breathing, which was extremely heavy at once.

In such a quiet world, the sound of each person can attract everyone's attention.

Xie Bai watched Pei Yi's movements, the knife he put on Mu Ge's neck loosened, and then the whole person pushed her forward hard.

What he said at the end, no one actually heard. But Xie Bai saw the shape of his mouth, what he said was that they were not outcasts and rebels.

Pei Yi was very resolute, he didn't even have to verify the queen's words, he committed suicide with a knife.

Those who had entered the city with him also took out knives from somewhere, and wiped their necks en masse.

That scene was very tragic, and the tragic pastoral let out an extremely tragic scream, and then pounced on Pei Yi despite everyone's strange eyes.

This young man had hurt her, he had hurt her, but she didn't blame him.

She didn't blame him the moment he pushed her away.

……

Madrigal was rescued, but the incident was very troublesome.

Pei Yi and his subordinates committed suicide in front of the forbidden army, leaving not a single living mouth. But the emperor was still angry and smashed everything that was visible to the naked eye in the palace.

He felt that his authority had been challenged, and at this moment, there was no one to solve it for him.

This matter is very big, and the whole capital is spreading this matter, but it is about the royal princess, and no one has the courage to say it on the table.

Pei Yi's identity was found out, but he didn't investigate it deeply in order to please the above, only said that Pei Yi was going to rebel, of course, this was also in line with the emperor's thoughts.

Some things should be investigated, and some things may not be.

Xie Bai wanted to investigate this matter, but the old man of the Xie family stopped him and taught him a hard lesson.

Yueniang didn't know what was going on outside, she only knew that Princess Pastoral seemed to have something wrong, but if she wanted to continue to ask, her father and Mrs. Lin refused to tell her.

She had been in the house for a few days, and she was bored. The arrows are ready, but with her current physical condition, I am afraid she can't even think of it.

Yueniang has always known that this is a place of right and wrong, and she also knows that she is very lucky to be able to get this corner of peace. But she was quite worried about Pastoral Song, and the princess's temperament was good, although she minded Pastoral Ge's liking for Xie Bai a little, but she couldn't hate her.

Yueniang was sullen, when she saw Fu Mingxuan, who was cold and cold, walking in from outside, she hurriedly greeted her, "Brother." β€œ

Fu Mingxuan has always been spoiled by this sister like a baby in the palm of his hand, and when he saw Yueniang, he turned away from the anger on his face, "Yueniang, don't stay in your own yard, what are you running." The injuries are all neat?"

Yueniang: "......"

She decided that she must find the prince to get this face back, otherwise these people around her will definitely think that she is particularly useless, and she will definitely not be relieved to let her go if there is anything in the future.

She looked at the young man in front of her very aggrievedly, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were extremely restrained and still couldn't hide those angers, "What's the matter, you seem to be very angry." ”

"It's nothing, I ran into that crazy girl from the Qin family just now, if I hadn't been stopped, I would have killed her. ”

When her brother, who has never beaten women, said such a thing, Yueniang was stunned, she didn't like that Qin Qianman very much, she was selfish and stingy, but what ability did she have to make her brother angry like this.

Yueniang's eyes widened, Fu Mingxuan couldn't say any more, he couldn't say that it was all because of her.

He didn't say it, Yueniang couldn't let her go, and kept pestering him to ask Fu Mingxuan to tell the reason. Yueniang's hands and feet kept jumping, Fu Mingxuan was worried that she would be guilty of touching the wound in the end, and finally sighed angrily, "Hey, that dead girl is also quite convinced." You said that she is also the eldest lady of the Qin family, how can she have no rules at all when she speaks. ”

"What did she say?" Yueniang was even more curious, did she scold her?

As a result, the dead girl really scolded her.

Xiao Si of Fu Mingxuan on the side knew that his young master would definitely not be able to say it, so he leaned in and said, "Miss, you know, who else besides you can make the young master so angry." The bad guy said...... said that you failed to seduce His Royal Highness the Prince, and you were cleaned up, and now you dare not meet people. ”

Therefore, the rumors are terrible and not credible.

She hasn't been able to go out lately, but that can't be a reason for her to seduce the prince.
