Li Dong quickly came to Wu Yue's side, quietly opened his palm, and presented the rice in his hand in front of Wu Yue. Wu Yue turned his face slightly, and his eyes stared straight at Li Dong's palm.

"What's that little black dot?" Wu Yue looked up hesitantly, looked at Li Dong, and asked in a low voice.

Li Dong frowned and shook his head, "This, the slave doesn't know either, maybe Sandezi knows." ”

At this moment, Sandezi finally "leveled" the young man's head, and came to Wu Yue's side quickly.

"What's that black thing?" Wu Yue glanced at Sandezi sideways and asked in a low voice.

Sandezi's head was not lowered, but his eyes were in his sockets, and he dived straight down, with an extremely strange expression.

After a few seconds, Sandezi responded in a low voice, "Childe, these black things should be millet that has become moldy." ”

When Wu Yue heard this, his originally fair cheeks gradually began to become ruddy, until finally, they turned purple!

"Is it possible for these mixed rice to eat the dead?" Wu Yue breathed hard, let his heart calm down, and spoke.

Sandezi shook his head, "You can't eat the dead." But the outcasts ate it and died. It is very likely that they have been malnourished for a long time and the body's immunity has decreased. It is impossible to digest the impurities carried by the moldy millet in a short period of time that are not conducive to the body. ”

Wu Yue nodded. His eyes were still looking straight at the people who came to receive the porridge, frowning and pondering.

A few minutes later, Wu Yue slowly spoke again and said in a low voice, "You say, is there such a possibility, the prefect of Baoding Mansion is worried that the grain allocated by the imperial court is not enough to maintain and rescue these flows." That's why I thought about mixing the rice that had been stored for old age and caused mold with new rice to increase the stock of rice and use it to treat the people. ”

"And he did this so that the soup kitchen porridge shed could last longer?"

Sandezi couldn't help but look sideways at Li Dong. But after seeing Li Dong nodding meaningfully towards him, after thinking for a while, he responded in a low voice, "Maybe there is such a possibility." ”

Wu Yue heard Sandezi's response, and his face relaxed slightly.

"Let's go, go to Baoding." Wu Yue whispered and walked quickly in the direction of Baoding.

Sandezi looked at Wu Yue's back and let out a long breath, while Li Dong stepped forward, raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and quickly caught up with Wu Yue.

The place where the porridge shed is set is less than three miles away from Baoding. Therefore, Wu Yue, Sandezi, and Li Dong rushed to Baoding in less than half an hour.

Sandezi led the way and led Wu Yue to the inn agreed upon by him and Rong Xiang'er.

When Wu Yue arrived at the guest room, Niuniu had already finished washing up and changed into a clean crimson brocade robe. On the white cheeks, a pair of big round eyes, against the background of the crimson robe, are extremely smart and cute!

Wu Yue couldn't help but stepped forward and raised his hand to hug Niuniu.

"That's what my sister should look like!" Wu Yue couldn't help but come up with such a sentence.

Sandezi's face fused, and he strode directly to the door of the guest room, quietly opened a slit, and looked outside.

After confirming that no one was coming at this moment, he let out a long breath, closed the door, bowed down to Wu Yue's side, and said with a serious face, "Childe, be cautious!" ”

Wu Yue nodded.

"Brother, this..."Niuniu looked puzzled, and was about to ask. Rong Xiang'er's face turned a little pale, stepped forward quickly, and said to Niuniu in a low voice, "Niuniu, what you said just now will always rot in your stomach, don't tell anyone, you know?" ”

Niu Niu nodded heavily.

"Niuniu knows. In the future, even if someone wants to snatch Niuniu's favorite pastry, Niuniu will not say it. ”

"Niu Niu is good!" Wu Yue looked at Niuniu's well-behaved appearance, leaned over her little face, and pecked lightly. After that, Wu Yue put Niuniu on the ground.

Rong Xiang'er smiled gently, and pulled Niuniu towards the big bed next to her.

Wu Yue turned around and sat down on the seat leaning against the big bed.

Wu Yue lowered his head and pondered for a few minutes, then looked sideways at Sandezi who was standing beside him, and said, "You go and inquire about the reputation of this prefect?" And the granaries where the grain is stored, where? ”

Sandezi nodded, bowed slightly towards Wu Yue, and quickly exited the guest room.

After Sandezi went out, Rong Xiang'er looked at Wu Yue with a sideways face and said in a deep voice, "Childe, Sandezi is afraid that this time, I am afraid that it will be in vain." ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Yue looked at Rong Xiang'er suspiciously.

Rong Xiang'er slowly got out of bed, came to Wu Yue's side, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it over with both hands.

Wu Yue took it with one hand, lowered his head and took a sip.

Rong Xiang'er responded slowly, "Nihaqi, I heard about it when I was at home. He is very humble to the upper officials, but he has always implemented an iron-fisted policy to the lower officials and the people. ”

"Any government within the jurisdiction is arbitrary. With his personality, do the people under his rule dare to tell the truth? ”

When Wu Yue heard this, his face instantly became a little unnatural.

"If you want to inquire about this Nihaqi, maybe Niuniu can give you some news." As Rong Xiang'er spoke, she looked at Niuniu, who was holding the dim sum box in both hands and had been reluctant to eat the dim sum inside.

Niuniu turned around with a smile, looked at Wu Yue, and said, "Brother, this prefect of Baoding is not bad, when Niuniu was still a homeless, she had traveled to several places. ”

"In the territory of Baoding, although we displaced people eat the porridge donated by the imperial court, we will have stomach aches and may even lose our lives. But at the very least, we still have porridge to drink. But in other places, I'm afraid I'll only go hungry. There are many more dead people than in Baoding! ”

Wu Yue looked serious and nodded.

"So, did he do a good thing by doing this?" Wu Yue said, looking at Rong Xiang'er.

Rong Xiang'er did not respond to Wu Yue's question at this moment, but said, "This is just what I see on the surface, what is going on, or seeing it with my own eyes, is the most real." ”

Wu Yue smiled and nodded.

"Niuniu, what else do you know about this prefect? Let's tell my brother about it. Wu Yue looked at Niuniu and continued.

Niuniu smiled and nodded in response, and then said, "Grandpa once told me that although this prefect is stubborn and self-serving, his original intentions are still good, and he has exhausted his thoughts on the people. ”

"Grandpa has heard that someone has seen it in the house of the nun, and their whole family eats rice like this."

When Wu Yue heard this, his face changed slightly, and he stood up directly from the seat.

"Nihazy, are you the one I'm looking for?" Wu Yue muttered in a low voice.
