Ma Xin only thought that Chi Xia was Yinxiang's little servant, and smiled bitterly: "Since the thirteenth master knows everything, why do you have to ask me again." ”

Yinxiang didn't raise his eyelids: "Just say it if you say it, what so much nonsense!" ”

Ma Xin gritted his teeth: "It's Wang Shangshu's little guy." ”

Chi Xia knew that when he said this, it was basically equivalent to turning over the cards. But there was no way, she really didn't know who "Wang Shangshu" was, so she could only cough and continue: "Which Wang Shangshu." ”

It's all said, and it's not almost named. Ma Xin is obviously already rotten: "Lord Wang Hongxu, the secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

Chi Xia: ......

Actually, I still don't know who this is, after all, it's not that famous.

Although she can guess that there are only a few villains in Yongzheng Dynasty, it is either the eighth master or the ninth master at this stage, but she can't have anything to do with it!

But if you ask again, let alone Ma Xin, you can't even listen to Tian Wenjing, who is standing on the side.

She could only turn her head to look at Yinxiang: "Lord, what do you see?" ”

Yinxiang received her request for help: "After Huang Ama abolished the crown prince, he asked people to elect a new prince, and Wang Hongxu recommended a starling. Later, although he was refuted by Huang Ama, he never parted ways with Starling. ”

Oh, got it.

Chi Xia hurriedly concluded: "So it was Prince Lian who instructed people to change our seeds, so that the grain production was reduced, and in the past few months, people have been buying grain at a high price and hoarding it, which has led to a famine in the whole province of Zhili now, and the people's hearts are unstable." ”

- Supporting side quests: Find out the truth about Prince Yi's assassination, with a time limit of 90 days.

- Mission Status: Completed, Reward Points Issued.

Whew, that's great.

Chi Xia hurriedly pulled out the panel in his mind to look at it, and originally thought that the progress bar of the main quest (happiness index) could be picked up a little.

I almost fainted at first glance.

It didn't go up, and it dropped another notch, becoming 5%.

It's about the same as how much she has worked for nothing in the past six months!

She was a little confused, but she didn't have time to think about it, as soon as she followed Yinxiang out of the prison, she received a holy decree from 800 miles to urgently summon Yinxiang back to the palace.

The two returned to the carriage, and Chi Xia actually didn't understand very well: "We came all the way and saw the confiscated test plots, without exception, the wheat seedlings were very thin, but the ears were very good, so it can be seen that there was a problem with some of the seeds." Is part of my seed necrotic? ”

Yinxiang's face sank like water: "If you want some seeds to fail to germinate, there are too many ways." Soak it in water, soak it in medicated water, and fry it until it is half-cooked, I originally thought that although the starling is not the same as us, there is still a bottom line, but now it seems that he is crazy, and he even dares to start with the grain that is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. ”

Chi Xia is also worried, since the beginning of summer, there has not been a single rain, and the autumn grain harvest has been reduced, which can be said to be a sure thing.

Coupled with the current situation, it's hard not to worry.

******

Outside the Yongding Gate, there were many displaced people who had fled the famine, and the guards were verifying their identities one by one.

Although Chi Xia and the others were guarded by Yue Zhongqi, they couldn't fly over with their wings, so they could only walk forward slowly.

Chi Xia raised the curtain of the car, and there happened to be a board car next to it.

There was an old woman lying in the car, who broke off half of the nest head that her son had stuffed into her and stuffed it back to her son, and broke the other half in two copies, one for her daughter-in-law and one for the little girl who was cowering in the corner of the cart.

The little girl didn't catch it, and fell on the dead grass in the paving car, and her eyes widened in fright, and the old woman quickly picked it up, patted it, and stuffed it back into her.

The girl wanted to eat but didn't dare, staring at the man pulling the cart.

The old woman barely reached out and touched her pigtails: "Eat, eat, grandma is not hungry." ”

Chi Xia's nose was sour, and he wanted to send them some dry food, but he was afraid that the people at the city gate would rob him, but he would bring disaster to people.

A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and the happiness index of this main line progress suddenly soared on the day she got the seed, and now that natural and man-made disasters have caused famine, it has been falling.

So this happiness index may not be the happiness index of individuals, but of all people?

When she entered the Yongding Gate, she hadn't been able to figure out whether her thoughts were right or not, and her thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise.

The homeless people outside the gate all wanted to enter the capital, thinking that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they could not starve to death.

The people of the city crowded at the gates of several grain farms, waiting for them to open their doors to sell grain.

There was a grain store with a lot of people at the door, and it was almost impassable.

There was a big sign hanging at the door, which read, "The grain has been sold out, the price of grain remains the same, please be early tomorrow." ”

Chi Xia was stunned.

Food prices remain unchanged? Is there still this kind of enlightened grain in these years?

Before I could think about it, someone from the grain store pushed open the door and came out.

It was a woman in her thirties.

This woman only applied a little powder, wore a neat flag dress, her appearance was not particularly prominent, and her dress was not particularly conspicuous, but it was quite impressive.

She arched her hand at the crowd gathered at the door: "Everyone knows, this is my family's grain store, our prince said, as long as Prince Lian's mansion still has silver taels, and grain can be harvested, this grain store will open the door, and the price will never rise." ”

Chi Xia just felt that this woman was a little familiar at first, but as soon as he heard this, he knew that this person turned out to be Yinxi's Fujin, Yue Le's granddaughter Guo Luoluo.

The road is narrow.

Ba Fujin bowed again: "We can't do much, but we also do our best." After all, the production of new seeds is reduced everywhere, and it is difficult to receive food at high prices. Don't huddle around, let's disperse, when the new grain from the prince arrives, we will open the door tomorrow. ”

Almost all the people around were in tears, and some even knelt down and shouted "Living Bodhisattva" and "Eighth Master Compassion", even more reluctant to go, as if waiting at the door of this grain store, there was still hope.

Chi Xia looked disgusted for a while, his face was wrinkled into buns, and he longed for eighteen pleats: "Prince Lian and his Fujin are too shameless!" ”

If it weren't for Yinxi's replacement of her seeds, this summer's wheat harvest would have been a bumper harvest, and even if the autumn harvest was poor, it would have been able to make up for it.

Yinxiang hadn't rested for a few days and nights, and was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, but after listening to this performance, he also opened his eyes, and squinted at Bafujin: "Face? What do you want to do with your face if you have no heart? What he wants is fame, wealth, and power. ”

Chi Xia remembered that although these two were political enemies, they were still brothers. I didn't know what to say for a while.

There was a push outside, mixed with high and low crying, and everyone was finally persuaded by the Beatitudes, and the woman holding the child kowtowed to her.

Chi Xia was happy, lifted the curtain and pushed Yinxiang out, holding his arm.

She opened her voice and greeted warmly: "Eighth sister-in-law! Why are you here? ”

The strength of familiarity is as if I have seen relatives I haven't seen for many years.

Seeing that it was Yinxiang, Bafujin was also polite, and slightly convinced: "It turned out to be Prince Yi, please say hello to Prince Yi." ”

Chi Xia smiled: "Eighth sister-in-law, go back and take a look, I heard that dozens of truckloads of grain have been collected in the Starling Mansion today, and it will not be a problem to supply you for a few days and nights in a row." Starling is really benevolent! ”

She smiled brightly at Yinxiang: "Master, you have checked the disaster situation in Zhili in the starry night, and you haven't closed your eyes for three days, don't you still have to enter the palace to discuss disaster relief matters with the emperor, let's go, the emperor will know the truth one day earlier, and send the relief food one day earlier, so as not to make the eighth sister-in-law so hard!" ”

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand to Bafujin, lowered the curtain and told the coachman to hurry.

Coherent.

First let Bafujin recognize Yinxiang's identity, and then put Bafujin on a high platform, and immediately ran away, and by the way, he also explained that Prince Yi and the emperor were preparing for disaster relief.

Yinxiang was shown by her operation: "You ......"

Chi Xia laughed at himself: "I'm not angry, the wool of the wicked, I can pick a little is a little, and if I can manage a day, fewer people will starve." ”

Yinxiang's face, which had been dark for a long time, finally had a little smile: "Well done." ”
