Chapter 272: How Did They Become Like This

Leng Lanzhi's guess was not wrong.

King Yue was holding a small wine glass, waiting for the prince and Leng Lanzhi to fall into his trap at any time.

He knew that Emperor Jianliang was most partial to the prince's son, and the weight of all the other sons combined might not be as good as one of the prince's toes.

Therefore, the matter of stolen goods must be obtained by people on the spot, so that Emperor Jianliang has nothing to say.

Otherwise, Emperor Jianliang will find compensation from other aspects to give the prince a step.

Anyway, no matter whether it is the prince's person or Leng Lanzhi's person who goes to the household department to repay the silver, he will let the people who have been ambushed early in the morning take the opportunity to take it, so that they are undeniable!

He waited and waited, and waited for half a month, during which no one went to the household department except for the people from Dali Temple and Jinxing Division who went to the household department to review the file because of the same case, and no one had any suspicious people go to the household department.

Of course, that's all for later.

At that time, Leng Lanzhi was standing outside a shed outside the city.

As the name suggests, it is inhabited by refugees and beggars who have come from around Shengjing.

In fact, before the heavy snowfall, there were not many people in Shengjing and the surrounding areas who were killed and displaced, and even because of the timely response of the imperial court, the people felt that this winter was much more moist than in previous years.

Leng Lanzhi proposed to let the prince resettle the affected people and beggars in the city, just to give them a buffer, not to cause too many casualties because of the sudden snowfall, it would not be beautiful.

Unexpectedly, the prince was addicted to doing good deeds, and after the snow disaster passed and most of the people had already lived a normal life, the prince was still taking in these refugees, and even covered their three meals a day!

That's right, the prince's money was spent like this.

Originally, the number of homeless people and beggars in Beijing who were affected by the snow was not much, even if the prince really unconditionally covered their three meals a day, tens of thousands of taels of silver in a month would be stopped.

The question is!

Someone spread the news, and the beggars and homeless people in the surrounding area learned that there was a great benevolent (resentful) person (species) outside the capital who provided food and drink for free, and did not require them to pay any labor.

In just over a month, the number of homeless people and beggars outside the city has surged dozens of times, and there are tens of thousands of people at this time.

What's even more terrifying is that it is not only the homeless and beggars who are tempted by the news, but also those who can maintain food and clothing.

People who like to be greedy for small and cheap are everywhere.

Even if it is farther away, many people in the vicinity will rush over at the meal, holding rice bowls in their hands, waiting for the people in the refugee shed to give porridge and vegetables.

That's how the prince ran out of money and owed a lot of money.

If you make a wrong decision, you should immediately correct it and stop the loss in time.

Leng Lanzhi said to the people behind him: "Give them three days, go home when they should go home, and find the person in charge to fill in their names and the number of people in their families if they are homeless, and the palace will find a way to provide them with opportunities to make money." ”

The crown prince disagreed: "If they can afford to feed themselves, how can they come here to drink free porridge?" ”

That's right, the prince followed.

Leng Lanzhi brought him with a tough attitude.

If he didn't participate in the whole process, not only would she not help him make up the money herself, but she would also let the queen stand by.

Although the prince was reluctant, he had to follow.

Leng Lanzhi said indifferently: "The vast majority of people here do have to stay away from home for various reasons and can't support themselves, so they come to drink free porridge." But there are also some residents in the vicinity, who are obviously well fed, but come to fish in troubled waters. ”

The prince didn't believe it: "I am a simple person, there can be no such person." What's more, people have self-esteem, and this palace doesn't believe that they would do such a thing. ”

Leng Lanzhi ignored the prince and insisted on letting the person in charge pass the word.

The person in charge responded, and before he started to give porridge, he loudly conveyed Leng Lanzhi's order.

This time, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest: "We stayed here so well, why did you drive us away?" ”

"Home? Where do we still have a home? ”

"Aren't you driving people to their deaths?"

"Woooooooooo......oo I'm not alive anymore! ”

The prince looked at his heart: "They are just a group of poor people who can't survive, why are you so ruthless, do you really want to force them to death before you are willing?" ”

"Poor man?"

Leng Lanzhi looked at a group of young adults in the crowd with an expressionless face, only to see that these people were pushing the guards who were responsible for maintaining order, and many of the guards were even pushed on their stomachs because they didn't want to hurt people.

Seeing this, the corners of the prince's mouth twitched.

I don't know why, he suddenly felt a little empathy, and felt that if he was the one who was pushed just now, then his fate would definitely be worse than that guard.

At least, he couldn't have gotten up so fast.

You might even get kicked by an angry refugee.

Looking at the refugees with blushing faces and thick necks, he swallowed his saliva: "How did they become like this?" ”

He felt that these vicious refugees were very strange.

In fact, the reason why he is willing to take out so much money, even at the cost of embezzling public funds, to help these refugees, is that he really feels pitiful for these people, and second, he enjoys the feeling of being looked at by the refugees with adoring eyes.

Whenever these people looked at him with great gratitude, saying how grateful they were to him, and even comparing him to their savior, his heart warmed, and he hated to give them his life.

He thought that these refugees with sparkling eyes were really very cute.

But now, he didn't seem to know them.

Leng Lanzhi sneered: "If I am a person who has eaten the last meal but not the next meal, someone is willing to take care of my food and clothing, and I don't need to work, I am naturally willing to provide for him." Anyway, it doesn't take much effort, just a few words of gratitude that don't go off the rails. ”

Prince: "......"

At this time, someone spotted the prince in the carriage, immediately pushed away the guards of the refugee shed, and rushed over with great momentum.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you mean? Why drive us away? ”

The prince looked at those pairs of expectant eyes, and subconsciously wanted to deny: "This palace is not ......"

Leng Lanzhi coughed.

The prince came back to his senses, although it was a little difficult to speak, but he still said: "This refugee shed is not in accordance with the rules, and it must be demolished." ”

"What's out of order? How was it built if it didn't conform to the rules? "There are refugees who have gotten the horns of the bull.

There are also conspiracy theories: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, shouldn't you have used us to earn enough good reputation, and now that we are useless, you want to kick us away, right?" ”

The prince's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why do you think that? ”

Leng Lanzhi looked at the young man who spoke.
