The guards brought the medicine, and the city lord hurriedly ordered those who could still move to decoction the medicine.

He is like this in this house, and it is even more difficult to say in the mansions of other rich merchants.

Yun Hongliang counted that there are less than 100 people who can still go out now.

This person can't protect the people in the city at all, and it seems that he can only take care of the people in the city lord's mansion first.

"Bang ......"

The sudden knock on the door frightened everyone in the courtyard to shrink back, and both men and women hurriedly picked up the weapons around them and made a desperate look.

Yun Hongliang took a deep breath, he didn't open the door rashly, and asked loudly:

"Who?"

"City Lord, it's me, Princess Ming."

As soon as these words fell, everyone was stunned, at this time, how dare Princess Ming come out?

Isn't she afraid of accidents?

Although she must have a master by her side to protect her, she is also too bold.

"City Lord, how is your mansion now? Are there many people who are poisoned? ”

Mu Yiyi glanced at the vigilant people in the courtyard and said helplessly.

"There are also poisoned people in our house, but there are not many people who have been poisoned, and I have already helped them take the antidote."

"The antidote? Princess, do you have an antidote? ”

The city lord looked at Mu Yiyi in surprise, he hadn't heard that Princess Ming knew how to heal?

"I'll check their pulse first."

The city lord looked at Mu Yiyi suspiciously, he beckoned, and took Mu Yiyi to the room behind him.

It's a coma, a person who hasn't woken up for a while.

There were thirty or forty of them in this room.

Mu Yiyi checked a few pulses, frowned, and all of them were a kind of drug, colorless and odorless, and it was difficult to detect.

It should have gone down to the well, so the concentration is not high, and these people, even if they don't take the antidote, they can wake up tomorrow morning.

But you can do a lot in one night.

For example, if a mountain bandit comes in, it is enough to kill everyone.

Sometimes, it's not just a lot of poison, it's even the most ordinary drug, which can kill people.

"Wash it away with water and let them take it."

Mu Yiyi took out a packet of medicinal powder and handed it to the city lord.

"A cup of tea time, they can be fully recovered."

"I guess the bandits are coming soon, right?"

"I haven't entered the city yet, but someone has been attacked on the other side of the city wall, and two people have been killed."

Sure enough, someone has already come, it should be a secret agent.

"How many people can we muster on our side?"

Mu Yiyi frowned, there will definitely be a lot of people coming tonight.

Poison first, then kill people, and don't even care about people entering the city, what does this black sunflower want to do?

"More than a thousand."

"This still has to add the guardians of each family, our City Lord's Mansion, there are less than five hundred people."

A thousand, enough.

Mu Yiyi already had a plan in her heart, didn't they use poison?

Then use poison yourself, and see whose poison is powerful.

In the council chamber, everyone gathered around, and my grandfather was there.

"Empty city?"

Hearing Mu Yiyi's proposal, everyone disagreed.

"As long as they enter the city, we may not be able to control it."

The city lord didn't agree either, and Mu Yiyi smiled:

"I'm just talking about opening a gate."

"And only a mile of road left for them at the gates of the city."

They can't go up the mountain, so they can only seize this opportunity.

"Released at the east gate, there are twelve torches along the way, we poison the torches, as long as they come in more than half a cup of tea, they will be poisoned."

"We wear special masks, which are not affected by poison, and they are slow, if they can't win the battle, then there is no need for Cloud City to defend it."

Slow-moving?

This......

The city lord's eyes lit up, as Mu Yiyi said, if the mountain bandits were really poisoned, they would definitely not be opponents.

"Moreover, if only one city gate is opened, even if they are not poisoned, we can ambush them in advance, and we can catch them off guard."

The city lord nodded in agreement and did not refute further.

……

The capital, the palace of the king.

"What, the mountain bandits are rampant in Cloud City, and the princess can't come back for the time being?"

King Ming was shocked when he received the news.

"Lord Wang, there is a mountain bandit on Heifeng Mountain over there, named Hei Kui, who is ruthless, has gathered a lot of homeless people, and has ransacked Cloud City several times."

The secret guard told him about Cloud City, and King Ming was secretly shocked when he heard it.

The small cloud city is so chaotic, so the capital in the future?

No, it must be resolved immediately.

"This king will enter the palace."

At this time in the palace, the emperor was also furious when he heard the report.

"Thirty cities, thirty cities in chaos."

The emperor smashed the fold on Mu Shangshu's face, and Du Shilang of the household department was even more frightened and lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

"Du Ming, you should talk to me, where has all the money in the treasury been all these years?"

"Where's the grain reserves? Yes? Every year, there is a reserve of food, and you and I said that it was eaten by rats? ”

The people do not have enough to eat, and it is certainly not enough to rely on the officials to give them porridge alone.

When the news came, the emperor immediately decided to provide disaster relief.

Can......

When I checked the treasury, there were less than three million taels of silver that could be moved.

The emperor was furious and sent someone to check the accounts.

But the premise is to bring in food for disaster relief first, right?

As a result, there was not even a third of the grain reserves.

Most of the granaries are empty.

The emperor immediately wanted to cut Du Ming, but Mu Shangshu suggested that it was useless to cut it, and he would check the accounts first.

But before the accounts were checked, there were reports of the collusion between the homeless people and the mountain bandits to loot the people.

The emperor was so angry that he almost fainted, and summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, King Ming is here."

Bao Gonggong whispered, the emperor took a deep breath, he also wanted to hear the opinion of King Ming.

"Ming'er."

Seeing his favorite son come in, the emperor's face softened a little, he pointed to the folds on the table, and sighed:

"What do you think?"

"Father, there are rampant bandits in the mountains in the south, and my son is willing to personally bring people over to quell the chaos."

King Ming glanced at it, and the emperor frowned:

"Now that the capital is also starting to be chaotic, you can't leave for the time being."

The capital also needs people to sit down.

And King Ming's poison has not been completely unraveled, and he can't take risks.

"Father, only when the sons and daughters go over and calm down in person can we show the majesty of my royal family."

"Now that the displaced people are in turmoil, if we can't suppress them with thunder, I'm afraid they will become more and more presumptuous."

King Ming's expression was indifferent, but his tone was a little more decisive.

"Oh? I don't know what your plans are? ”

None of these ministers have the courage of a king.

"Father, the sons plan to persuade Zhao'an first, if they don't listen, directly subdue them!"

Salute first and then soldier, this method is indeed feasible.

"Father, although there are mountain bandits here, most of them are homeless people who can't eat enough, and they can't be beaten as soon as they come up."

If they come up and suppress it, they will directly deny people a way out, and the resistance of the displaced people will definitely be more fierce.

King Ming was very thoughtful, and the emperor looked at the minister and asked:

"Do you have a better way?"

Where do the ministers dare to say anything at this time?
