Chapter 258: Complaint
Immediately, Chen Ruoliu sent her own girl to take the refugees to the official mansion, this kind of thing, naturally more people know about it.
On the same day, a group of refugees arrived in the government mansion, all of them were dressed in rags, hungry with yellow faces and thin muscles, like walking skeletons, looking very pitiful.
After the prefect in charge of them came out, his eyes immediately changed a little, and he seemed to be a little scared, what happened to these people? It looks so scary.
"Prefect, you must save us! The crown princess said that she was donating money to us, but we didn't see the silver, nor did we see the grain, and those bad grains, after eating, will only make us die faster! At this moment, a man knelt down and cried out in tears.
The prefect was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed, these people want to sue the crown princess, the people of the East Palace, how dare they move?
"You mean, the crown princess made a fraudulent donation?!" The prefect coughed, feeling that this matter was really very obscure and should not be said now.
"Yes, otherwise, what else can it do?" The man coughed, his brows furrowed tightly, as if he was in great pain, he covered his chest with one hand, and frowned slightly: "My lord, I think the crown princess just wants to sell her reputation, not really help us at all." ”
This kind of talk is really rebellious, the prefect does not dare to care about the affairs of the East Palace, he lowered his head, and can only appease the emotions of those refugees first.
"Everyone, calm down first, this matter is still concluded, no one knows what the truth is? Let's wait. ”
"How can that be? We've all died so many times, and we have to have a story! ”
"Yes, refugees are also people, is it possible, just ignore us?"
For a while, everyone was shouting below.
In this way, there was also a mess in the government, the prefect's expression was very embarrassed, he sighed in his heart, when he encountered such a thing, he was not embarrassed, he didn't want to care, but there was really no way, how could he manage this matter? He is a minister, how can he fight with the crown princess?
slapped the table heavily, the prefect narrowed his eyes, and reprimanded angrily: "It's useless for you to run here to make trouble, no matter what it is, you have to pay attention to a piece of evidence, or go back honestly and wait for news, if there is any progress, the official will notify you." ”
Nowadays, there is only one way.
The prefect looked at the refugees below and said sharply.
As a result, the refugees were too embarrassed to say anything and had to leave in disgrace.
Hearing the news, Chen Ruoliu's face showed a look of disgust, and she sneered: "Isn't it just a crown princess?" That prefect is still such a straw bag, and he can't do this thing. ”
Chen Ruoliu's girl lowered her head and sighed on the side: "Then Miss, don't we have any other way?" ”
"Not really." Chen Ruoliu lowered her head, a deep light flashed in her eyes, and then she remembered a thing, in a few days, the emperor will take the people in the royal family to worship the sky, Li Qiuchi will naturally go over, and when the time comes, she can directly take those refugees to intercept the convoy.
Didn't the prefect dare to take care of this matter? It doesn't matter, she still has a way, so she doesn't believe it, this matter can't bring down Li Qiuchi.
A vicious look flashed in her eyes, Chen Ruoliu raised her eyes and sneered.
Soon, the day of worship to the heavens came, the emperor and the empress were in the first carriage, and the crown prince and the crown princess followed, and the rest were some concubines and ministers.
The convoy was luxurious and extravagant, occupying a road, and many people were watching from the side of the road.
Chen Ruoliu was followed by several refugees, she clenched her fingers, glanced back at them, and then ordered: "Everyone, you have all seen clearly, the person in the bright yellow carriage is the emperor, wait for them to come, you will tell all your grievances." ”
The refugees were already dissatisfied with Li Qiuchi, but when they heard her say this, they immediately nodded quickly, and just waited for the emperor to come over.
A moment later, the convoy arrived in front of them, and Chen Ruoliu smiled and walked out first.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have something important to report." Chen Ruoliu raised her voice, and there was a determined look in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, on the way to worship the sky, she stopped the emperor like this, and her courage was inevitably too great, and everyone stared at her eyebrows in surprise.
The queen looked at her, there was a suspicious look in her eyes, and she subconsciously reprimanded: "Chen Ruoliu, are you going to raise your voice?" Such an important matter as worshipping the heavens cannot be delayed. ”
"Queen." Chen Ruoliu blinked, showing a pitiful look in her eyes, and then, she clenched her fingers, frowned slightly, and continued to speak: "What the courtiers want to say is also very important, and it is related to the society of the country. ”
If she said this, the emperor's eyes immediately changed, his brows frowned slightly, and then stared at Chen Ruoliu's eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Majesty, refugees are also your people, and they should be treated well, and they are definitely not a tool for someone to gain fame." Chen Ruoliu sighed, revealing a very helpless look.
At this time, Li Qiuchi and Chu Jinrong also heard the movement outside, Li Qiuchi knew that Chen Ruoliu was a demon outside again, she sighed, and then said unhappily: "What does this woman want to do?" ”
"Let's wait and see." Chu Jinrong frowned slightly, and decided to wait a while and see what happened to this woman.
With a slight bow, Li Qiuchi's eyes were a little more impatient, but she didn't say anything, just quietly listened to the movement outside.
At this time, a refugee walked out, knelt down in front of the emperor, and then complained about what Li Qiuchi had done to them: "Your Majesty, you must administer justice for us!" The crown princess said that she wanted to help us and give us donations, but she didn't do anything at all, and even changed the food, eating bad food, which would really kill people. ”
Because the matter of the refugees was suppressed by the prefect, the surrounding people didn't know that the refugees outside the city were still living so hard, and they all showed a look of surprise on their faces one by one.
You must know that Li Qiuchi is a living bodhisattva-like existence in their hearts, how could he do such a thing?
Don't say it's them, Li Qiuchi, who was sitting in the carriage, was also petrified, her eyes widened, and a touch of disbelief flashed in her eyes, what kind of mess is this? When did she do something like this?
