"Then I wonder how much food Madame needs?" The shopkeeper seemed to have seen silver in his eyes.

"Not necessarily, I need to go back and do the math." With that, Feng Xiaoyue left the grain shop, and the person who left the shopkeeper stood in place dumbfounded.

Feng Xiaoyue returned to the small courtyard angrily, just in time to meet Murong Lin who came back from the palace. It's just that Murong Lin's face is also full of sorrow today.

"It's just a good day for the New Year, but I encountered such a thing." Murong Lin sat on the stone bench indignantly, and Feng Xiaoyue went over to sit beside him, "I think the two of us may be worried about the same thing. ”

Murong Lin looked over, and Feng Xiaoyue told him what happened during the day. "This profiteer is unkind and only cares about making money for himself, but he cares about the lives of others."

"I want to discuss with you the food produced on my land, plus some food purchased from the shop, to distribute to the poor, even if it is not much, it should be enough for them to survive these few days, and then we can think of other ways."

"This is a good thing, where do you need to discuss with me, I will definitely support you with all my might." Murong Lin took her hand excitedly, Feng Xiaoyue just smiled faintly, and did not publicize her merits.

The next day, the porridge shack was opened, and the location of the porridge was opened on the edge of the city, for fear that there would be any more people from outside the family to make trouble, and at the same time, it was convenient for those poor people who entered the city to beg for a bite to eat.

Just doing so, although it has brought out the purity of sentient beings, for profiteers, it has touched their greatest interests.

The porridge shed was open until noon, and when Feng Xiaoyue was about to close the stall, someone suddenly came over to make trouble. A man dressed as a peasant, with a child foaming at the mouth, stumbled towards it, shouting as he ran.

"Everyone, don't eat it anymore, the porridge in their house is poisonous, they just don't treat us as human beings, they just feed us something that is not human food, and want to poison us all."

While saying that the man had already put the child down, Feng Xiaoyue glanced at it from a distance, the child foamed at the mouth, his eyes were red, and the bottom of his eyes was purple, it did look like he was poisoned, but some of it looked like he was starving to death.

The peasants who were drinking porridge next to them also put down their bowls and leaned over to the children. When the man put the child down, he danced and said to the peasants: "My son, yesterday when he was hungry, he ran to this porridge shed and drank a bowl of porridge. ”

"You don't know how well-behaved my son is, he wants to share a little bit of food with me and his mother first, but he was poisoned by this black-hearted proprietor, who can give my son back!" Saying that, the man cried and wanted to rush to the porridge shed, but fortunately, Murong Lin came in time to stop the man.

The little guy Siben ran behind Murong Lin, pushed the man's hand back, and grabbed him. "You're so daring, do you know who this is? This is the princess of our prince of King Li. ”

"What about the princess? Can the princess kill people casually? The man kept twisting his body and threw all four of them around, but with such a small amount of strength, he could still catch him.

"Are you alright?" Murong Lin saw this man pounce on Feng Xiaoyue like a demon, and his whole heart seemed to be hanging. Feng Xiaoyue seemed to be stunned by the man, but in fact, she had been observing, so she forgot to dodge.

Seeing Murong Lin looking at herself so worriedly, she shook her head gently, "I'm fine." ”

"You said that our princess killed someone, who did he kill? Is there any evidence? "Shiben has been holding him, but he just can't completely subdue this man.

The man raised his head and looked at Feng Xiaoyue angrily: "He poisoned the porridge and poisoned my son to death, and many people around here can testify." ”

The people around him have received a lot of favors from him, so they don't dare to speak casually. The man took the opportunity to shout: "Oh my God, is this still heavenly? Are these people blinded by lard and don't even dare to say a word? Who can call the shots for my son? ”

In the end, the matter became more and more troublesome, attracting people from the yamen. Under the leadership of Hu Rihui, the officials in the yamen walked towards here in a mighty manner.

"I just received a report from someone that something happened here about killing and poisoning children, what is it?" Hu Rihui saw Murong Lin bow down first, "Xiaguan has seen the prince of the world." ”

"I've seen Master Hu." Murong Lin had heard a lot about this person's remarks, so he was also more polite to him.

When the man saw the county order coming, he hurriedly knelt down and crawled to him, and then kept kowtowing: "Ask the county official to be the master of the grass people, the princess she poisoned my son, and now she still doesn't admit her guilt, these people are also afraid of the power of the palace, so they don't even dare to say anything for the grass people." ”

"The princess poisoned your son, why?" Hu Rihui felt very strange, although he had nothing to do with Feng Xiaoyue, but it was really too strange to poison a child for no reason.

"The princess wants to gain a good reputation, and she gives porridge to these people for days, my son drank a bowl of porridge from her yesterday, and he was poisoned this morning, it wasn't the princess who did it, who else could there be?" A big man is crying all over the place at the moment.

Hu Rihui felt even more strange, "Since the princess has already given porridge to the poor to drink, why should she only poison your son." If the princess wants to see people die, then if she doesn't give porridge, there will be many people in the city starving to death on the streets, so why bother? ”

Feng Xiaoyue was a little stunned, she thought that this county order was a confused head, but she didn't expect that sometimes she was quite sober.

When the man saw that he couldn't say anything, he began to cry wolf again: "You are all officials and officials protect each other, and the restrictions are all in the form of orders from the palace, and no one can administer justice to us poor people!" ”

Surrounded by a group of uneducated croppers, they didn't understand some big truths and logic, they only knew that someone had died, and the county order had not done any investigation, so they naturally stood on the side of the men.

As a result, some of the slow riots were generated, and the officials with knives couldn't even suppress them.

"What are you doing here? How dare you attack an official of the imperial court? Hu Rihui shouted a little dazed.

Seeing that things were about to be violent, Feng Xiaoyue immediately stood up, "My lord, I will go back to the yamen with you for investigation." ”

Murong Lin hurriedly pulled her, "Are you crazy?" Why should you go to the yamen if you haven't done anything? ”

"Trust me, it's fine." Feng Xiaoyue smiled slightly, walked in front of Hu Rihui, and everyone immediately stopped.

Hu Rihui also knew that taking her back to the yamen was the best solution, so he did not ask the official to shackle her hands. He took a step, looked at the man again and shouted, "You go and follow along." ”

"Why should I go with me?" The man was visibly scared. "If I enter the court, will the yamen still have the life to come out?"

Wu Rihui sneered, "You haven't been to court, you should have seen people decide cases, which yamen is not the plaintiff and the defendant must be recorded in one place, if you are not there, your accusations will not count." ”

These peasants, who like to watch the excitement around them, have also seen it in the simple court in the village, so no one will say anything more.

The man thought about it, but followed, and after running two steps, he remembered to hold his son in his arms. With such a small move, this smart man has already begun to be a little skeptical.

"Lord Shizi, what should we do? Do you want to find a way to save the princess. Siben stood beside Murong Lin in a daze.

Murong Lin had heard what Hu Rihui said just now, but he was actually not so worried in his heart, after all, this was not a faint official.

"Let's go, I guess she will be home in less than two days." Murong Lin curled the corners of his lips slightly, and glanced at these people next to him again. It feels like she made a mistake by raising a group of white-eyed wolves that can't be fed.

Hu Rihui knew that Feng Xiaoyue was wronged, and her identity was not suitable for being locked in a cell with ordinary prisoners, so he arranged a simple room for her.

"Lord Hu, please stay for now."

Hu Rihui turned around and looked at her strangely, "What else does the princess want?" ”

"I'm not the one who likes to be powerful." Feng Xiaoyue smiled and invited him to sit down at the table in the room. "It's just that there are some things about the case that I want to clarify with adults."

"What clues can the princess give?" Hu Rihui thought that Feng Xiaoyue could only provide some evidence and clues, and he judged it, so he thought of asking him for help. didn't expect Feng Xiaoyue to have almost sorted out the ins and outs of the matter.

"Master Hu is deaf and clear-sighted, so he naturally knows that the most suspicious person in this case is not me." Feng Xiaoyue also sat down and naturally poured a cup of tea for herself and Hu Rihui.

"It's a long story, first when I was running a greenhouse, I inadvertently offended the newly moved Qi Yuan, so he and I didn't get along, and they fought against each other all day long. This year, when natural disasters hit many peasants and they would starve to death on the streets, Qi Yuanwai seized this opportunity to raise prices, so that many peasants who did not have grain in their homes could not even buy food. ”

Hu Rihui was a little surprised, but she didn't expect that she was going to tell him the specific content of the matter directly, and had already roughly guessed who was behind the scenes.

"I just wanted to do a good deed, and I was afraid of attracting the attention of outsiders, so I deliberately chose to set up a porridge shack on the side of the city wall. It's just that I didn't expect to be found by them, and they used such a cruel way to deal with me. ”
