"Master, what do you think of the current shape? There's not much food left! Zhizhou sat on the Taishi chair in the back office, and only felt that his brain hurt.

The master in Zhizhou's mouth has a pair of narrow inverted triangular eyes, a slightly gloomy hooked nose, pale lips that are thin and ruthless, a little chapped because he has not drunk water for a long time, and a three-inch-long goatee on his chin.

"My lord, according to the grass people, the top priority is not a problem of food!" The sharp-beaked monkey's eyes flashed with an unusual green light, and he looked more and more ruthless.

"Oh?" Zhizhou became interested, his hands were propped on the armrests on both sides of the Taishi chair, and his body leaned forward slightly, "It's not a problem with food, what is it?" ”

"My lord, think about it, before this princess of the protector came, did an envoy ask us to open a granary?" There was a hint of treachery in the curvature of the corners of the master's mouth, as if something terrible was brewing.

"Not really. Which of those messengers didn't see money? Send more stuff and it's nothing. However, now this princess is not easy to deal with, she has been honored and favored since she was a child, and she also holds a talisman in her hand, and she has seen countless good things. If you want to send something, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

Zhizhou shook his head, thinking that the master wanted to bribe Shi Yuqi like before, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, and secretly sighed how did he encounter such a hard bone?

"Your Excellency, you are confused!" The master looked eager to knock open Zhizhou's head to see what was inside, "That little princess may be here to catch corruption!" The emperor is so good to her, how could she risk beheading because of a little petty profit? If the princess of the protectorate really told the emperor what the adult had done, her life would be in danger! Therefore, we must not let the princess of the protector of the country repay the saint! ”

"What do you mean?" Zhizhou suddenly thought of something in his heart, and he couldn't help but sweat, and couldn't help but clench his hand into a fist, and then let go again, repeating.

Seeing this, the master knew that Zhizhou had understood what he meant, and couldn't help but smile, "What do the grass people mean, don't the adults know it?" ”

If it weren't for the limited manpower now, he would not have risked borrowing the hand of the governor of Xizhou to deal with Shi Yuqi. But fortunately, they are doing it under the banner of the governor of Xizhou.

"Bold!" Zhizhou shouted, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, walked quickly to the door and looked around, and turned to look at the calm master.

Compared with the self-conscious master, Zhizhou himself is as weak as a chaotic minister and thief.

"What are you panicking about?" The master took a sip of tea slowly, spit out the tea foam, and smiled calmly, "If this matter is done, God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, there is no one else, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Zhizhou gasped, pointed at the master with his right hand, lowered his voice, and said, "The following offenses are a big rebellion!" If it is found out, this will be punished by the Nine Clans! ”

"What adults did in the past, isn't it a great rebellion?" The master put down the tea bowl, "If the adults can't bear to do this, they will hand it over to the grass people at this time, and the grass people will do it." In the future, if there is any guilt, the adults can just push it to the grass people! The grass people on the left and right are lonely, and they don't have anything to worry about, even if they are found out, they will not implicate others. ”

The master said beautiful things on his lips, but the abacus in his heart crackled. The line around him has been exposed, and he won't stay in Xizhou for long, and the master's fake identity will not be found at that time. Even if it is found out, the three-legged toad is not easy to find, and the two-legged scapegoat is still difficult to find?

Zhizhou snorted for a long time, and finally acquiesced to the master's words, and there were no more words.

The master smiled, arched his hand and said goodbye, turned around and went out. It's just that at the moment of turning around, a trace of vicious light crossed the slender and narrow triangular eyes.

Zhizhou lowered his head and pondered, but did not look up at the master, so he missed the poison in the eyes of the master who did not know what the name of the master was.

If the governor of Xizhou had found out that something was wrong with this master earlier, or if he still retained a trace of loyalty as a courtier, so many things would not have happened in the future.

……

Shi Yuqi stood on the city wall, looked at the temporary shelter, and shook his head, ancient times are ancient times, the rule of law, and it is also based on the interests of the nobility. Even if she is a princess, she can't forcibly open a warehouse and release grain without the emperor's order; Even Long Yiheng, as the prince of a country, did not dare to act rashly.

Coupled with the inaction of the governor of Xizhou, the government did not take care of the victims, and refused to distribute even basic tents, bedding, cotton jackets, and gruel, so that the victims outside the city were reduced to the point of being fed by their children, and it is no wonder that the victims were so hostile to the officials.

"Qingzhu, go and transfer all the bedding under the name of the nearby Qiyue Commercial Bank branch, and transfer the jacket or something, how much can be adjusted." After being silent for a long time, Shi Yuqi handed the stove in his hand to Qingzhu, "This year's winter came exceptionally early. ”

"yes, I don't know why, it snowed early. But why did the princess suddenly remember this? Qingzhu took the stove and was stunned, the stove was still hot, why not?

Suddenly Qingzhu suddenly understood again, Shi Yuqi was not afraid of cold.

"It's probably because people's hearts are cold......" Shi Yuqi muttered as if talking to himself, and there was a suffocating silence.

Qingzhu was stunned and didn't answer, for some reason, his eyes were a little sour.

Shi Yuqi ordered everyone to be moved to a higher place, and all the doctors in the city were arrested to save people. Despite this, the number of people dying is increasing day by day.

In just three days, more than a thousand people died!

"Princess! Princess! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought someone here! Qingzhu hurriedly ran in, rarely leaving behind his gentle image and shouting all the way, and before he could enter them, Yuqi already knew what was going on.

"Where?" Shi Yuqi stood up abruptly and looked at Qingzhu with burning eyes.

She is good at killing people and saving people, after all, she is only an amateur, studying medicine, and just in case, she only dabbles in bandaging and emergency rescue. Maybe she still has a way to do it, but she really can't do anything about the plague.

Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the city gate, "That's it, it's at the city gate!" ”

"Let's go!"

……

At the gates of the city, muddy puddles of water were still accumulating, the water in the rice fields could not be drained, the crops were rotten, and the air was filled with the smell of rancid and cold winds.

Outside the towering city walls, several tall horses kept wandering in place.

Long Yiheng had already sent someone to call the door, but the soldiers stationed on the city tower turned a deaf ear, even if they knew that the other party was the prince, they were only stunned for a moment, and then continued to inspect, with no intention of opening the door at all.

A group of men waited for a long time, but the locked gates did not appear to be opened.

One of Long Yiheng's lieutenants was so angry that he turned over and dismounted to smash the city gate. Long Yiheng narrowed his eyes and sat on the back of the horse without moving.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, look at this ......" Another young general looked at the movements of the deputy general, not knowing whether to persuade or not.

Shi Yuqi stood on the city wall and sneered twice, and sent someone to bring Long Yiheng and his party in.

"Knock on what gate? No one here would dare let you in! Shi Yuqi sneered lightly, his eyebrows were disdainful, and he glanced at the young general who wanted to smash the city gate, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that it was her, Long Yiheng's eyebrows and eyes eased, and he no longer saw the solemnity of the tragic scene along the way, but with a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, as if the spring breeze was as gentle and gentle.

"Tiny."

"The crown prince and brother are here so early! If you come a little earlier, you might even catch the rain! Shi Yuqi snorted coldly, and did not have the pleasant face that Long Yiheng imagined.

Long Yiheng didn't answer, but smiled indifferently and asked, "Xiaoxiao, you just said that they didn't dare to open the door...... What is the meaning? ”

Shi Yuqi raised his eyes and glanced at him, his voice was lukewarm, and he had no feelings, "The people in the city are panicking, afraid that the victims will rob them of food and clothing when they go in, and they will bring some unclean things in, so they asked Zhizhou to close the city gate." ”

"What role do you play in this?" Long Yiheng didn't believe Shi Yuqi's words, after all, if it weren't for someone above, no one would dare to turn away the prince of a country, and Shi Yuqi must have played a certain role in this.

Shi Yuqi snorted, "I just said that the door should be closed, so no matter who comes, don't open it!" If you can't get in, then don't let anyone in. Anyway, you will definitely come over, and if you don't offend you for them, you really think I'm a bodhisattva? ”

"How do you know I'm coming? In case I don't come......" Long Yiheng immediately stopped as soon as the words came out, this assumption is really chilling.

Long Yiheng's smile froze on his face, "Little ......"

"Since everyone is here, I'll leave it to you." Shi Yuqi waved his hand, as if he hadn't heard anything, turned around and walked towards his residence, and said as he walked: "In the past few days, this princess has been tired!" What a nobody's doing! Qingzhu followed behind Shi Yuqi and did not say a word.

Long Yiheng stood there with remorse, he once refused to come to the disaster relief when the old emperor did not appoint officials because he did not want to leave a bad image in front of the old emperor.

Although he finally chose to come over, the difference between this thought was always a thorn, pierced there, and he couldn't pull it out.

Long Yiheng didn't move, but a white figure chased out.

Qingzhu waited for Shi Yuqi to clean his hands, Bai Yu was already outside the door, and Shi Yuqi hurriedly asked Qingzhu to call him in.

"Your Highness Princess, the child has settled down! Keep it in a family for the time being. That family is the son of the world, and it is absolutely safe! Bai Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Junxiu's face was still stained with muddy water.

"Thank you for your hard work." After Shi Yuqi finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile and teased, "Qingzhu, come and take a look!" Where did the big flower cat come from! ”

"Princess, where is the flower cat, it's obviously a big white cat!" Qingzhu sneered, soaked the handkerchief in his hand and handed it over, "Oh, wipe it!" ”

"Thank you, Sister Qingzhu!" Bai Yu took the veil with a smile, and did not forget to take advantage of it verbally.
