Within two days, Song Qian and the others came to the place where Ji Qimu was exiled, which was still desolate and endless, and the lives of the people were miserable.

Because Ji Qirui drove the people here, the streets here were full of wandering beggars, leaving their carriages with nowhere to stop. In order not to hurt the people, Song Qian and the others had to get out of the carriage and walk.

After several twists and turns, they came to the local prefectural office.

I didn't expect Ji Qimu to be here.

Regarding the arrival of Song Qian and Ji Changye, Ji Qimu was very surprised and greeted him and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Brother Jiu, didn't you see the two of us?" He Yujin walked out from behind the two and said teasingly.

Ji Qimu hurriedly shook his head and replied, "Naturally, I saw it, how could I forget the two of you? Let's take a step to speak." What he wants to ask next must not be listened to by others.

When the county magistrate here heard this, he respectfully watched them go to the backyard, and then left here with a few officials.

When he came to the backyard, Ji Qimu hurriedly invited a few people to sit down.

Although this place is not as luxurious as Dijing, it is a high-class place to live here, so He Yujin asked curiously, "Brother Jiu, have you lived here these days?" Or do you live in the next boundary?"

I remember that he heard people mention that the exiled officials, whether they are officials or nobles, will not have a good life, but looking at Ji Qimu's appearance today, although he is not as radiant as when he was in the imperial capital, he is still ordinary and spotless, not like he has suffered hardships.

"When I was ordered by my father to be expelled here, I was originally going to live in a grass house in the west of the city, but I hit it off with the county magistrate here, and he let me live there. I am very grateful that he has not suffered hardships and sufferings because of him." Ji Qimu explained, now everything makes sense.

This also made Song Qian's innocent heart, which was worried about his life at first, relaxed.

Song Qian opened his mouth and said, "Even so, it is better for the Nine Emperor Princes to be alone here. After all, this kind of place is remote, and it is difficult to find out what is going on." Although it was a bit unlucky for her to say this, but according to Ji Qirui, she could catch up behind them, and those who couldn't get used to Ji Qimu and wanted to get rid of Ji Qimu would never be able to easily find a start?

And because Ji Qimu was stripped of his rights and secret guards here, no one protected him and he was unarmed, so it was easy to die here, and this place was far away from the imperial capital, and the news would not reach the imperial capital for a while and a half if something happened, and it would be too late when he knew about it.

"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, everything is fine here. But one thing that really bothers me lately is that the victims who don't know where they are coming from are going to enter the city. You have also seen along the way, the disaster here is raging for hundreds of miles, and the people who were originally in the county town are already living in a stretched stretch, and their stomachs are all problems. The government's help can't last a few days, but it can't let these living lives go unnoticed, so I don't know what to do for a while. It so happens that you have come, and you have taken up ideas for us, and how can you settle these people?"

In the past few days, Ji Qimu and the county magistrate here have been worrying about this matter, and they went to hand over the excerpt to the emperor in vain, and no one cared about this matter at all, and in the end it could only be pressed on them.

No wonder they came in the streets. Song Qian thought to himself.

In this way, Ji Qirui's absurdity is more vividly expressed.

He Yujin told indignantly, "We came to tell you about this. All of these victims were forcibly sent by the crown prince from another county town, in order to fulfill his reputation for disaster relief and help the world, so that His Majesty could reward him. Even the fact that this method is used shows how hard his heart is."

Ji Qimu didn't expect that this matter would be related to Ji Qirui.

But thinking that he was able to be exiled to such a place was all due to him, and if he had any mercy, he would not have done so.

"It's useless to talk about it now, these victims are innocent, we should think about how we can settle them, we can't just sit idly by and let them fend for themselves, right?" Song Qian opened at this time

Mouth.

Ji Qi Mu nodded peacefully: "What the second sister-in-law said makes sense, the top priority should be to solve the drought, and as for other things, let's talk about it later." After all, even if we were to play the truth of the matter now, this piece would not have been sent to His Majesty. And since the crown prince can do this, it means that he is not afraid of His Majesty's reproach, maybe it is also His Majesty's acquiescence? Aren't we asking for our own suffering by so rashly expounding on the wrong things that the prince has done?" If the emperor is unhappy again, it is not as simple as exile.

And Ji Qirui sent the victims to him, and made it clear that he would be able to deal with it, if he cured this matter, it would be over, but if something went wrong, Ji Qirui could put all the fault on him, and it was Ji Qimu who would be punished at that time, which was really unlucky.

So whether it is for the sake of the people or himself, Ji Qimu has no way out.

But soon Ji Qimu's expression became worried again: "Having said so much, there is still no place to find food or anything else that can help us and the people." It's all just talk, what's the use of talking about more? Look at the book

The expressions of the other people also darkened, speechless.

At this time, Ji Changye opened his mouth to comfort a few people and said, "Don't worry, didn't I say that I have written to Your Majesty in person, asking Your Majesty to send people and the silver taels needed to come to help. So there is no need to worry about this matter anymore, but we need to be patient in the few days before they come."

He Yujin was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, relaxed and said, "Then we will wait here for two more days." There's nothing to worry about anymore.

But at this time, Ji Qimu still didn't relax, stretched out his frowning brows, and asked him, "After listening to what you said, second brother, I don't worry about what will happen to the court. But what happened here was uncertain, after all, the place where the prince was must have been the first place they had arrived. When the time comes, everything they need is given to them, and what will happen to the rest?" And if the prince doesn't do anything with these things, it will be even more inappropriate.

"Your Majesty must have guessed this, so the person sent this time is the squire Zuo Huarong, who has nothing to do with the crown prince, so don't worry that he will favor the prince. And I heard that there will be a minister coming, it is Shang Shu Yuan Ruici, isn't it the person you recommended back then?" These two people are upright, fair and honest people, and they will definitely not help the prince to wronged the people for their own selfish desires.

Hearing this, Ji Qimu really relaxed a lot.

Either way, as long as they can distinguish between right and wrong.

Ji Qimu saw that it was already noon, so he got up and said to a few people, "I'll go make some food, you can wait here."

In the past few days, He Yujin has eaten enough wild vegetables and throat food, and thought that he could eat something different here, but he didn't expect it to be just a different approach. But if you don't eat it, you won't have anything else to eat, so you and Yujin complained and didn't say it.

At the same time, Tufu.

Zuo Huarong looked at the big fish and meat in front of him and was a little surprised, and he didn't dare to start, but Ji Qirui really didn't care, and disliked him for being restrained, so he said, "Why don't you eat it? If it's not the same as the food, then let them make some more, and you say what you want to eat."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there has been a famine here for a long time, where will you get the food and fodder to feed the livestock?" These are all things that the people here dare not imagine on the table, but they didn't expect Ji Qirui to be able to publicize it with such fanfare.

But Ji Qirui felt that these were normal, but he didn't feel anything wrong, and in some places he felt that Zuo Huarong was too rigid.

"Eat and eat, how can people eat with your sad face?" Ji Qirui put down his chopsticks impatiently.

At this time, Zuo Huarong opened his mouth and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this disaster management is not child's play. We must not only consider these people in the county, but also send people to investigate and help the surrounding villages and small county towns. Otherwise, the plague would be the same as not being governed."

Hearing this, Ji Qirui thought of the county seat where he drove the people over, and was afraid that Zuo Huarong would break the truth, so he told the emperor instead,

The disguise he had worked so hard to make was undoubtedly exposed, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's not easy for us to manage the one-third of the acre in front of us right now, so why do we want to get involved in other areas? Do you think Prince Ben can handle it?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry about this matter," the minister will send someone to organize everything, and when the time comes, I will listen to His Highness's arrangement." Zuo Huarong had already made up his mind, and he couldn't change it easily.

So saying, he got up and bowed down, and then went out.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Huarong did what he said, and Ji Qirui didn't have the heart to eat at this time, so he asked everyone to withdraw.

I didn't expect it to fall to such a point.

He should think about it and wait until Zuo Huarong finds out. When I was about to inform the emperor, I thought of a solution.

Otherwise, I just can't play and eat, so I walk away.

So when he found out that Zuo Huarong wanted to leave here, he hurriedly sent someone to follow, and he must not be able to let him investigate the truth of the matter.

Thinking like this, he made people deliberately move their hands and feet on the carriage, and sure enough, the carriage that Zuo Huarong was riding almost fell apart halfway through, and they had to go back the same way.

But what Ji Qirui didn't expect was that on the way back, Zuo Huarong met the people in the county where Ji Qimu was located, and in the intentional or unintentional conversation, he knew about Ji Qirui sending the victims to other places, and he was very disappointed, because when he saw that the disaster had eased, he thought that it was really Ji Qirui who had the ability to deal with such a tricky thing, but he didn't expect to use this method to praise him for his return to the emperor.

He thought that he could never help the abuse anymore, hide it for Ji Qirui, and deceive the emperor and the people to deceive themselves, so after Zuo Huarong went back, he completely wrote what he knew to the emperor in the letter, no matter how Ji Qirui explained or wanted to meet him and begg, but Zuo Huarong just didn't care.

Yan looked at the noisy yard and couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that he knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

But just when he was stunned, the prince suddenly turned the spearhead. blamed Yan Lai for all the strange things he had done, and said, "It's all his fault for bewitching Prince Ben, otherwise Prince Ben wouldn't have done this."
