"Jia Xingde, I won't kill you, I'm sorry for the 150,000 people of Fengjin County!" The fourth prince looked at the tragic situation in front of him, and his heart was extremely angry, he had never hated a person like now.
Li Tiantian patted the fourth prince on the shoulder and comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry about it first, Jia Xingde is going to kill, but you can't kill it, the face of the royal family still has to be scrupulous, not to mention that the news of your personal visit to Fengjin County has not yet spread, you will tear your face with him so quickly, if Jia Xingde's dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, then we will be in danger! It is better to stabilize the situation first, and then escort Jia Xingde back to Tianluo City after everyone arrives!"
The fourth prince nodded, he was not the kind of reckless person who was hot-headed and didn't care about it, so he naturally knew that what Li Tiantian said was reasonable. It takes seven inches to fight a snake, and since he has decided to cure Jia Xingde's crime, he must find evidence. If he directly tears his face, Jia Xingde will guard against him, and the gains outweigh the losses. Although he can forcibly punish the crime by virtue of his identity, if he does so, he will inevitably be in a passive position in front of the eldest prince, and even if he can't say it well, he will be used by the eldest prince to play the question.
At this time, the fourth prince suddenly felt as if his leg was entangled by something, he looked down, only to see a ragged boy with a black and gray face holding his leg, looking at him with his head tilted and afraid. Guan Liren, who was walking at the end, was shocked, and took a step forward to push the boy away, but was stopped by the fourth prince reaching out. The fourth prince squatted down, forced a smile and asked, "What's the matter?" Why did you stop me?"
The boy hesitated, and after a long pause, he muttered, "Uncle, you are doing well, please enjoy your food! My mother is going to starve to death!"
"Your mother?" the fourth prince asked with a frown.
The boy seemed to be out of his mind, and the horror in his eyes disappeared, and he cried and shouted to the fourth prince, "My mother hasn't eaten for five days! She has given me everything she can eat, and if I don't eat again, my mother will starve to death!" I beg you, please appreciate the stuttering!" The little boy knelt down towards the fourth prince as he spoke, kowtowing his head and chanting in his mouth, "I beg you, enjoy the stutter!"
At this moment, the softest place in the hearts of several people was touched by the little boy, Li Yichou's tears flowed down his cheeks, and he saw a familiar stubbornness in this little boy's body! Once upon a time, there was also a person who begged others for him like this, and time passed, and he experienced all this in front of him again, how could he not see things and think about people?
Li Yichou wiped away the tears on his cheeks, he walked up to the little boy and untied the grain bag on his waist, rubbed the little boy's head and said: "I was in a hurry when I left, I only took these rice, you take it first to save your mother, don't worry, you will be saved immediately!"
The little boy looked at the half bag of rice in his hand in a daze, he didn't seem to believe that he had really begged for food! The tears in the corners of the little boy's eyes washed away the black ash on his face, he grinned, and bowed down to Li Yichou.
Li Yichou hurriedly grabbed the little boy's arm and wanted to pull him up, but no matter how he pulled the little boy, he stubbornly knelt on the ground, and he had to kneel to finish this worship!
The little boy got up and wiped the blood from his forehead, turned and ran under the wall on the left. There was a woman lying under the wall, who was the little boy's mother. The little boy knelt in front of the woman and shouted in surprise: "Mother, wake up, we have something to eat!"
But the woman did not even lift her eyelids, and seemed to be asleep. The little boy carefully put down the cloth bag in his hand, stretched out his hand and shook the woman while shouting: "Mother, wake up, don't scare me!"
The woman still didn't respond, and the little boy's eyes widened, and he stretched out a trembling finger and put it under the woman's nose.
The little boy was stunned, he didn't cry, he didn't make a sound, he just knelt silently on the ground and looked at his mother in front of him. After a long time, the boy moved his mother to a plank, which he tied with a rope and tied the other end of the rope to his shoulder. The little boy held back his tears, gritted his teeth, and walked into the distance step by step.
When the little boy walked in front of Li Yichou and them, he didn't speak, but just glanced at them silently, meaningfully, and turned around with the rope and left. The little boy walked farther and farther, leaving only a stubborn and strong back for the four of them.
Li Yichou looked at the direction of the little boy's departure in a daze, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Because he saw in the little boy the shadow of another person, and that person used to do the same?
"Talent, how long will it take for the people who delivered the disaster relief food to arrive?" the fourth prince asked in a heavy tone.
Li Tiantian frowned and said: "A few of us are lightly armed and fast, and the grain transport team has 150,000 people's food, even if the road is smooth and no one intercepts it, I am afraid it will be there tomorrow night at the earliest, and this is still without encountering bandits, if we meet them, I am afraid that it will be even later." ”
"Bandits?!, I want to see which bandit dares to rob the imperial court's disaster relief grain! Ye Taifu went to General Zhong yesterday to borrow 3,000 black armor troops, and General Zhong was very happy to agree when he heard about this, if the black armor army can be robbed, it will become the biggest joke in the Tongtian Empire!" the fourth prince said in a deep voice.
Li Tiantian's face also showed a touch of relief when he heard the three words of the Black Armor Army, and with the relief food of the Black Armor Army, it was foolproof.
The fourth prince turned his head to look at Li Yichou, who was glazed over, and asked suspiciously, "Yichou, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yichou shook his head slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that after seeing that little boy, I remembered some things from the past." ”
"Alas, the little boy is really pitiful, his mother has not eaten for five days, and the oil has long run out, and he has been hanging by breath, I am afraid that even if he eats food for his mother, his mother will not last long. Li Tian said with a sigh.
The fourth prince looked at the dying victims around him, and said with a sad face: "The relief food will arrive tomorrow night, and how many people will have to starve to death on this day!
"Your Highness is angry, the wicked have their own heavenly punishment, Your Highness does not need to worry. Let's start now, the disaster relief food will be delivered tomorrow, which means that we will spend the night in Fengjin County, but we can look at where people can still live here, let's find a place to live first, and then talk about the rest!" Li Tiantian admonished.
"No need to look for it, just go to his Jia Xingde's house! I want to see if Jia Xingde also eats tree bark at home!" said the fourth prince angrily.
Li Tiantian and Li Yichou glanced at each other, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth to run to Jia Xingde's mansion so openly! The two were just about to speak, but they were interrupted by the fourth prince, "Don't worry, I won't tear my face with Jia Xingde, I'm afraid it won't take long for the news of our arrival in Fengjin County to reach Jia Xingde's ears, rather than this, let's take the initiative to come to the door and catch him off guard! Tomorrow! I just have to endure until tomorrow! This is when he Jia Xingde dies!" said the fourth prince through gritted teeth.
Li Tiantian and Li Yichou nodded in unison, what the four princes said was not unreasonable, what they were afraid of was that the four princes couldn't help but have a showdown with Jia Xingde, since the four princes knew in their hearts, they had nothing to worry about. As long as he doesn't force Jia Xingde's dog to jump over the wall in a hurry, even if he is given 10,000 guts, he will not dare to take the initiative to attack a prince!
Now that it was decided, the four of them went straight to Jiafu. Fengjin County is very large, but Jiafu is easy to find, and the four of them found Jiafu in a short time. When the four of them came to the gate of Jiafu, the four princes looked at the mansion in front of them and frowned. This Jia Mansion is not the mansion he imagined, although it is not small, it is only a normal specification of a county guard, and there is nothing amazing about it.
"Could it be that we have wronged this Jia Xingde, this mansion is too much worse than the Ye Mansion!" Li Tiantian said with a smile.
The fourth prince couldn't laugh at this time, and said suspiciously: "With the value that Jia Xingde has accumulated over the years, let alone one Ye Mansion, he can afford to build ten rooms!
