When Xiao Xiao heard this, he didn't respond immediately, and hesitated: "It's not appropriate for you to show your face for this kind of thing." I'll have a way to move them, but it's better for you not to get involved. ”

Those big families are now sitting and waiting for people to come to their doors, where will they have any good faces? What's more, most of these big families have people who have been officials in Dayan, and these people may have some dissatisfaction with Da Zhou.

No matter whether their character is really noble or falsely noble, as long as they stand on the moral high ground and count Qin Yining, those words will not sound good.

After all, Qin Yining, as the daughter of the Taishi Mansion who had been the candidate for the position after the Great Yan Discussion, had now become the princess who had stepped into the Great Yan Dynasty, and in the eyes of those people, he had become a rebel.

Xiao Xiao knew that Qin Yining had suffered a lot with her, so how could she be willing to let her listen to people's gossip?

Qin Yining was worried when he met, and after a little thought, he knew what he was worried about, and the warmth in his heart couldn't hide his vigor. Qin Yining hugged Xiao Xiao's arm and rubbed it on his shoulder, "Don't worry, am I the kind of person who cares about the eyes of others?" What's more, how can a person live in the world, and how can he demand that he be liked by everyone? It is normal to be scolded with different positions. ”

"That being said. But you still listen to me in this matter, I'll go by myself, don't get involved. Xiao Xiao hugged Qin Yining distressedly, the more open-minded and sensible she was, the more pity she felt in her heart. If he hadn't suffered a lot at the beginning, how could he have been forced to learn so much human warmth at an age that should have been lively?

Although it was dark, this was the street after all, Qin Yining gently pushed away the owl with a blushing face.

Xiao Xiao no longer hugged her, but hugged her shoulders and walked slowly in the direction of the mansion.

"Since you say so, I won't force it. In fact, it is good for us to be cautious these days. "Qin Yining is also afraid that he will become a bird and cause trouble to the owl, after all, Li Qitian has secretly sent troops to surround the old capital.

Xiao Xiao could understand what she meant, nodded and said, "What you said is that we only need to think about disaster relief." In the rest of the words and deeds, we should pay special attention to the fact that there should be no ambiguity for people to grasp the handle. ”

"I know that if you don't let me participate in the negotiations, I won't go out and walk around if there's nothing to do."

Qin Yining has seen the chaos and cruelty of war.

When the people can't even guarantee the safety of their own lives, morality is already a luxury, and at this time, she is indeed likely to encounter danger when she goes out at will, and she is more likely to take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble.

Seeing that she was so sensible, if she wasn't still on the street at this time, he really wanted to hold someone in his arms and love her.

When the two of them walked near the porridge shed, they saw that there was already a crowd of people in front of them.

Outside the small porridge shed, hundreds of people crowded together, holding broken bowls and clay pots in their dry and dirty hands, scrambling to scoop a spoonful of porridge to eat. The strong crowded in front, the old and weak women and children were isolated from the crowd, and there were the cries of children, the choking of the elderly, and the ruins on both sides of the road and the old trees that were about to be stripped of their leaves and bark......

All of this caused a heavy blow in Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao's hearts, and after seeing it, they couldn't help but feel a chill and anxiety in their hearts.

What treasure, what rivalry?

These are now no match for a stone's worth of food!

This is the people who have been struggling in the disaster area for two months after the earth dragon turned over, and no one cares! They suffered one disaster after another, the emperor of the old country was a faint king, and the emperor of the new country only cared about finding treasures and did not care about them.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer, what's wrong with them!

The back molars of the owl creaked, pulling Qin Yining to turn around and leave.

When the voices of the people gradually moved away, Xiao Xiao said: "It can't go on like this, the food can't last long." I have to make the big families spit out the food. Otherwise more and more people will die! He was not stoned to death by an overturned house, but he was starved to death by his own king...... What a fuck! ”

Angry, he smashed his fist on the yellow mud wall beside him, and the wall was already shaken out of many cracks, and under such a force, it was shattered, and the dust was shattered all over the ground.

Qin Yining took Xiao Xiao's hand, and saw that his fists were clenched, his muscles were exposed, the joints of his finger bones were broken, and the blood and dust were stained together, which looked shocking.

She didn't nag back, just silently took a water bladder to help him clean it, applied rock sugar to the gold sore medicine she was carrying, and finally wrapped the wound with a pale green silk handkerchief.

Xiao Xiao's initial anger had already turned into smoke under Qin Yining's gentle care, and at this time, he was as calm as water, looking down at the woman who was carefully covering his wounds in front of him.

No matter what happens, as long as she is around, he can withstand it. It must also be withstanding. Because he is a man, he has a family, and he has to support her.

"Sister Yi'er, I ......" Xiao Xiao's tone was apologetic.

Qin Yining smiled and pinched his stubble chin, "Next time, you are not allowed to self-harm like this." This is a disaster area, and you are afraid of an epidemic, so you dare to let yourself be injured if you are fine? Next time, if you do it again, I'll be with you. ”

"That's not good, I'm rough and thick-skinned, you can't compare."

"Doesn't it hurt if the skin is rough and the flesh is thick? Even if you don't hurt, my heart hurts when I look at it. Qin Yining turned around and walked towards the yamen, "If you can't change your ways, you won't be allowed to sleep in the house in the future." ”

This is a big threat, in such a scorching environment, everyone is already eating porridge and fruits, surviving under huge pressure every day, and now the only consolation is that you can hug each other and sleep at night.

But he didn't dare to disobey Qin Yining, for fear of upsetting her.

"Sister Yi'er, I know it's wrong. Not anymore. The attitude of admitting his mistake was very sincere, and he smiled flatteringly to take her hand.

After tossing and turning all night, Qin Yining slept very badly. But the next day, I still cheered up and followed Li Zhixian to the porridge shed to check.

Xiao Xiao went to Ding's house and Pei's house again, intending to persuade them to sell rice at a lower price.

However, the Ding family and the Pei family seemed to have made an appointment, and they all put on hateful appearances when they saw them.

The master of the Pei family has been a Hanlin in the imperial court for several years, and he is pedantic, but now when he sees the owl, he even spits it over.

"Whew! You murderer, you dare to talk to the old man? Tell you, the old man has the grain, but he just won't sell it to you! Don't say that you want me to lower the price, you are just a small yellow croaker to buy a catty, and I won't sell it!

"You scumbags, you deserve to die in the Great Zhou!"

Xiao Xiao endured the anger in his heart, and persuaded gently: "These grains were bought by the imperial court with you, not robbed, and you sold the grains to save the lives of most of the people." Even if you have hatred for this king, the Great Yan Dynasty still no longer exists, and now it is the emperor of the Great Zhou who rules the world and seeks the well-being of the common people. If you continue to be obsessed and insult this king, do you believe that this king can set foot on your Pei family? ”

"Look, that's what it really is! What kind of collection of grain and grass, I think you just want to take the opportunity to make a fortune from it! ”

The more Master Pei scolded, the more unpleasant it became, and finally even all the female elders of the Eight Ancestors of the Owl Ancestor greeted him again.

Xiao Xiao has already gritted his teeth, such a confused person, can still be a Hanlin? No wonder the Great Yan Dynasty has perished!

"No matter what you say, your behavior of lowering the price and opening your mouth without caring about the lives of the people is really not clever. Since you love the Great Yan Dynasty so much, why don't you want to save the people of the Great Yan Dynasty?

"You just want to watch a man die of starvation in front of you? Your Pei family has a lot of population, but if your grain is stored well, it is enough to feed the Zhilong Xiang army! But you just bite and don't let go!

"Do you still have the face to advertise yourself as a loyal, patriotic, and brave knight? If you don't care about the lives of the people like this, I think you are cold! ”

Xiao Xiao had been holding his breath for a long time, but at this time he finally broke out in full force.

Master Pei is a scholar in the end, and in the face of the cold murderous aura raised by Xiao Xiao fighting on the battlefield, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and almost rolled his eyes.

Naturally, he would not give up, and after he got married, he insisted on calling the Twenty Dragons Army, and stood in front of the mansion with murderous spirit. Shen Sheng said to Master Pei: "It's my negligence to bother rashly today. Didn't do enough homework. But the people still have to eat, and if you sell it at a price that is 10 percent low, you will do practical things for the people, accumulate merit and deepen it, and future generations will be prosperous. ”

On the contrary, the descendants may not have this blessing, and whether they can save their lives is a matter of two questions.

There was no need to finish speaking, Master Pei had already understood the meaning, and finally broke out in a cold sweat.

This loyal prince is really unusual, and he was scared like this in a few words.

But he won't let up.

He didn't believe that the Prince of Loyalty would dare to do anything to him!

"No matter what the prince says, I won't agree. Either ten taels of silver and one stone of rice, one hand to pay and the other hand to deliver. Or don't eat it! Drop-off! ”

Master Pei flicked his sleeves and turned around and went into the house.

Xiao Xiao looked at his back, and smiled deeply in his eyes.

Only those who were familiar with him knew that under his smiling expression, a storm had brewed in his phoenix eyes.

didn't get good in the Pei family, and was severely humiliated, and it was the same result when he went to the Ding family.

Xiao Xiao worked hard for many days, and the food raised by Qin Yining was almost eaten. And Li Qitian came here with a secret, but he refused to show up, let alone bring rice and grain for disaster relief.

The people ate more and more of a meal, and gradually became dissatisfied.

"Isn't Prince Zhongshun an official for disaster relief! Didn't the Holy God give us any food? ”

"Is it that you gang of corrupt officials keep the grain secret, and then sell it to us poor people at a higher price? If you have no money for you, you will starve us to death? You don't give people a way to live! ”

The people were so excited that at first they just talked in private, then they turned into scolding, and finally they even began to protest collectively in front of the porridge shack, triggering an extremely dangerous riot!
