Chapter 67: The Homeless Woman
Xiao Guangji looked at His Highness's homeless people, all with hatred on their faces. He sat on his throne and looked at the people, "Whatever grievances you have done, come forward."
The homeless people looked at Jiang Duanchen with a blank look at each other, and Jiang Duanchen nodded at them. Only a man in the crowd dared to speak.
"It's this dog official, who deceives his superiors and subordinates, conceals his illness, and earns money for disasters, so this kind of person can't die well!"
"Yes! You will not die well."
Everyone echoed one by one.
The homeless people spit on Li Yunwei and Song Jiahua, Xiao Guangji frowned, and Rong Hongliang coughed and said, "The hall is silent."
Then the crowd fell silent.
Xiao Guangji saw the people's grievances everywhere, coupled with the presence of human and material evidence, so he convicted Song Jiahua and Li Yunwei on the spot.
"Song Jiahua removed his official position and was demoted to a commoner, and his family's property was used to subsidize the people of Pingkang County, Li Yunwei provoked officials, confiscated the land, and the two immediately went to the dungeon and waited for questioning."
When everyone heard this result, they kowtowed to Xiao Guangji and thanked him.
"Jiang Duanchen has made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and he will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold."
Xiao Heng heard Xiao Guangji's reward to Jiang Duanchen, and he held a grudge.
Obviously, all this should have been his.
Jiang Duanchen didn't accept these rewards, but said lightly to Xiao Guangji: "Your Majesty can also distribute Chen's rewards to the people of Pingkang County, because my mistakes have led to the loss of dozens of innocent lives, and these should be regarded as compensation for them."
Xiao Guangji saw that Jiang Duanchen was not greedy for money, and admired him even more.
So I agreed with him.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Jiang Duanchen sent people to send those displaced people back to Pingkang County, and prepared to leave the palace.
Xiao Heng followed with anger.
"Lord Jiang is so majestic, he has just been reinstated and has done such a great thing." Xiao Heng said sarcastically.
Jiang Duanchen saw Xiao Heng and remembered the matter of the killer he had sent before, so he also said with dark eyes: "Your Highness, I know that you don't like me, but if you accidentally hurt my wife by doing something, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Su Ling is injured?" When Xiao Heng heard Su Ling mentioned, he immediately asked.
"I mean, in case, my wife and I are inseparable, you have nothing to do to make a little move to fix me, I don't care, it's just that my wife is my bottom line." Jiang Duanchen was already emphasizing that Su Ling was his wife, so as not to worry about Xiao Heng.
Although Xiao Heng was annoyed, he had no position to argue with him.
After all, the person Su Ling loves is him.
But if one day he becomes the lord of a country, he will definitely take Su Ling back.
Xiao Heng waved his sleeves and turned around angrily, unwilling to say more to Jiang Duanchen.
After Xiao Yan saw Xiao Heng leaving, he also stepped forward.
He patted Jiang Duanchen on the shoulder, and said with a face full of relief, "Master Jiang, who did a good job this time, fortunately you are back."
Jiang Duanchen looked at the ambition in Xiao Yan's eyes, and also understood what he meant.
Since he is going to oppose Nie Yunhua in the future, and the enemy he faces is Xiao Heng, then he must cooperate with one person.
This person can only be Xiao Yan.
"I didn't think about the previous thing, and it worried His Highness." Jiang Duanchen said with low eyebrows. c
"It's okay, just come back."
Xiao Yan replied with a smile, he knew that as long as Jiang Duanchen was still willing to be with him, he would be able to overcome all difficulties.
Jiang Duanchen alone topped the shrimp soldiers and crab generals beside Xiao Heng.
Jiang Duanchen suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said in Xiao Yan's low ear, "After a while, I will give you a big gift."
Xiao Yan wanted to ask what the gift was, but looking at Jiang Duanchen's inevitable appearance, he also understood a rough idea.
That gift must have been something very useful to him.
Xiao Yan nodded, then turned around and left the main hall.
Jiang Duanchen also drove the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Just arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion
, and saw a woman crying outside the house.
Xue Fei, who was sitting outside the carriage, said to Jiang Duanchen, "Childe, there is a woman crying outside the mansion."
Jiang Duanchen lifted the curtain and took a look, the woman was pretty, but her clothes were really tattered.
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyebrows, and he ordered Xue Fei to come forward and ask.
Xue Fei stepped forward and handed a handkerchief to the woman who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and he asked suspiciously, "Why is the girl crying here?"
The woman raised her head, the corners of her eyes were red, which made people feel pity, and she looked at Xue Fei timidly with a pair of teary eyes, "The little girl is from Pingkang County, my parents died because of the flu, I heard that the adult was the one in charge of the flu, and he also arrested the dog official, so the little girl wanted to ...... I want to come to the adult, the little girl knows that the adult is a great good person, and the little girl is homeless, so she can only come here."
Xue Fei had never seen this situation, so he could only go back and report to Jiang Duanchen.
After Jiang Duanchen knew the cause and effect of the matter, he also out of sympathy, after all, his own negligence allowed Li Yunwei to poison so many lives in vain, since someone is desperate to take refuge in him, then take her in.
Jiang Duanchen's eyes flashed with a hint of pity, so he asked Xue Fei to take her into the mansion and hand her over to Su Ling for placement.
After Su Ling looked at the woman Jiang Duanchen brought back, her eyebrows were startled at first, but after hearing about the woman's miserable experience, she also agreed to let her stay.
"What's your name?" Su Ling looked at the woman and asked softly.
The woman sobbed and said, "The little girl's name is Ji Yuyao."
Su Ling looked at Ji Yuyao sobbing silently, and handed over his handkerchief, "In the future, you will follow our Jiang Mansion, Chef Liu still lacks a maid there, can you go and help him?"
Ji Yuyao had gratitude in her eyes, and hurriedly nodded and said, "As long as you can find a bite to eat, you can do anything."
Seeing that she had finally stopped crying, Su Ling also smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Cui, take her to change her clothes."
Su Ling looked at Ji Yuyao's tattered clothes, a trace of pity appeared in her eyes, and she couldn't help but think in her heart: If it weren't for Song Jiahua and Li Yunwei, this child would not have suffered such a crime, but she lost her father and mother at the age of a flower, she must treat her better.
Xiao Cui received the order, and led Ji Yuyao to retreat.
Jiang Duanchen only entered the house after seeing Ji Yuyao come out outside the door.
When Su Ling saw him, he asked, "What's wrong?" What has Your Majesty done with them?"
Jiang Duanchen took Su Ling's hand and said to her, "Your Majesty has removed their official positions, confiscated their land and distributed them to those disaster victims, and let them wait to be beheaded."
"It's as simple as that?"
Su Ling's eyebrows frowned, this kind of result was too simple for them.
Jiang Duanchen saw Su Ling's face droop instantly, and said with a smile, "I promise you that you will make them cut with a thousand knives, and they will not forget."
Su Ling raised his head in surprise and asked, "Can you really do it?"
"Believe me, I don't want them to die so easily, after all, they moved you." A hint of anger flashed in Jiang Duanchen's eyes.
Su Ling thought of avoiding drugs.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to confess to Jiang Duan Chen, "Duan Chen, actually, ......
"What's wrong?" Jiang Duanchen noticed that Su Ling had something to say, so he asked her.
Su Ling stared at Jiang Duanchen's eyes and looked carefully, his eyes were full of himself, just because she was poisoned, he wanted Song Jiahua to cut him with a thousand knives, if something else happened to him, what kind of action would he make.
Su Ling didn't dare to think about it.
She didn't want her to become Jiang Duanchen's weakness, at least if she told him about avoiding drugs, in the future, when he encountered such a situation, he would not be so worried and lose his bearings.
"Actually, I ...... I am a poison-free body, so the poison they give me has no effect."
Su Ling looked at Jiang Duanchen's eyes and said seriously.
Jiang Duanchen's eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at Su Ling in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
His pupils constricted, clearly unable to believe it.
Su Ling nodded, and there was no joke on his face.
"Ma'am."
Suddenly there was a voice outside the door. Ji Yuyao appeared outside the door wearing a light green maid suit.
When Jiang Duanchen heard that someone was coming, he put away the shock in his eyes and didn't ask Su Ling.
Su Ling looked away at the door, "Come in."
Ji Yuyao pushed the door and walked in, holding a plate of food in her hand.
She put the food plate on the plate, looked at Su Ling and said, "This is our hometown dish in Pingkang County, glazed assorted grilles, you and the young master should try it."
After Ji Yuyao cleaned up, she looked even more handsome and pretty, and Su Ling almost didn't recognize it.
Seeing the tempting food on the table, Su Ling immediately became interested and led Jiang Duanchen to the table and sat down.
She looked at Ji Yuyao and said softly, "Thank you, when I was in Pingkang County with Duan Chen before, I didn't taste the authentic hometown food because of the flu, I didn't expect you to have such skills, we must try it well."
Ji Yuyao hurriedly said, "If you didn't take me in, I wouldn't know how to live, if my wife likes the dishes I cook, I will cook them for you every day in the future."
Su Ling had a happy smile on his face, and slightly picked up a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth.
After she tasted it carefully, it was really crisp and refreshing. Her eyes lit up, and this dish was even better than Chef Liu's.
She hurriedly took a bite and sent it into Jiang Duanchen's mouth.
Jiang Duanchen also praised again and again.
Su Ling put down the dishes and chopsticks, took Ji Yuyao's hand and said to her, "I wanted you to be Chef Liu's maid, but your skills are completely comparable to Chef Liu, in the future, you will be my personal maid and cook for me every day, okay?"
When Ji Yuyao heard this, she immediately said, "Yu Yao must be very willing to serve Madame."
Jiang Duanchen looked at Su Ling's happy appearance and smiled bitterly.
He hadn't digested what Su Ling told him just now, so he could only go out by himself to breathe.
"Ling'er, you talk first, I'll go out for a while."
Jiang Duanchen turned his head and said.
Su Ling looked at his back and knew that he couldn't accept this, but she couldn't tell him anything else. The matter passed in a sloppy manner, and the reason for it was not told to him.
After Jiang Duanchen walked out of the door, he jumped onto the roof.
Xue Fei was secretly drinking here, and when he saw Jiang Duanchen, he immediately said, "Childe, why are you here?"
"I'm in a bad mood, I'm looking for you to have a drink."
Jiang Duanchen casually picked up Xue Fei's wine jar and drank it in a sullen voice.
"Feeling bad?" Xue Fei was puzzled.
"Is there anyone in this world who can be immune to all poisons?" After a jar of wine, Jiang Duanchen looked at Xue Fei with a slightly drunken cheek and asked.
