At first, Li Gelao and others did not understand the meaning of Feng Xi's words. It was not until after a stick of incense that the soldiers realized something was wrong and hurriedly pulled Lin Qian and others out of the crowd.
Although Lin Qian and others looked horrified when they were surrounded, they were still human beings. However, when they were picked out from the pile of refugees, not to mention valuables, even good meat was gone.
For a group of refugees who are suffering from hunger and cold and can hardly see tomorrow, relief from the court is the last hope.
No one wants to die, everyone wants to live...
But Lin Qian and others didn't want them to live.
These refugees still clearly remember the princess saying that anyone who wanted to see should come forward, and those who stood up would have to drink the northwest wind.
And it turns out that the car is full of food, and it is polished rice that only high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen can afford...
If they really listened to what these people said and were really dragged into the water by this dog official, they simply couldn't imagine how they would live the next days.
Therefore, Lin Qian and others did not expect that the more they incited them to come forward, the more vicious the people who wanted to attack the baggage train would become.
The men kicked with their feet, the women grabbed with their hands, and even the children would pick up stones on the roadside and throw them at them regardless.
If Feng Xi hadn't specially said hello and the soldiers had taken it to heart, I'm afraid that what they dragged out in the end would not have been more than a dozen bloody people who were beyond recognition, but more than a dozen fragmented corpses.
"Princess, Lin Qian and others want to see you."
In the lobby of the government office, Feng Xi asked Mr. Li Ge and others to take full charge on the grounds that she was tired and needed to rest and did not want to regulate the affairs of the government for the time being.
He took out another small apple and gnawed it quietly.
To be honest, Mu Tian and others are also very curious. It is the twelfth lunar month soon, and the Northland is more than twice as cold as Shengjing City. How can the princess still eat the fruit without changing her expression?
And where does this fruit come from?
Brought by Sheng Jing?
So where did she take it? How can you be like those who perform magic tricks and perform tricks all at once?
But Mu Tian and others would not ask, let alone talk about it randomly, because the master had greeted them before leaving the capital, asking them to treat the princess as their master, and they should stay away from the master's affairs.
"Ask them, have they thought about what they are going to say when they meet me? If they have not, I do not recommend that they come in now."
Feng Xi sat lazily on the official chair belonging to the prefect, and said in a neither salty nor cool tone:
"After all, I have a bad temper and a vicious mind. If what they say doesn't satisfy me, I will really hand them over to the refugees outside. After all, it's so hard to deal with corpses in the winter~"
Mu Tian: "..."
Yesterday I discovered that the princess was a ruthless person, but now it seems that she is simply a werewolf.
No wonder even their master has been beaten in the past two years.
Mu Tian truthfully told Lin Qian and others what he said, and they were immediately frightened and cowered. A bunch of voices said that they should think about it again and call him when they had thought better of it.
After about another stick of incense, these people just said that they had thought about it, and then were brought into the lobby by Mu Tian.
Kneeling in front of Feng Xi with a plop, these people opened their mouths and said that they were obsessed with it, or they were forced to have no choice, or there were seniors and juniors.
Feng Xi smiled:
"Tell me the important point, don't throw it out!"
Seeing that Feng Xi was really hard-hearted, Lin Qian and others did not dare to hide anything.
After all, the crazy group of refugees outside are much scarier than the Feng Xi in front of her.
"So, you appear to be a member of the prince's party, but in fact you are working for the fourth prince?"
After listening to Lin Qian's long narration, Mu Tian directly helped Feng Xi refine the key points.
"Yes, although, although the villain has two identities, what the villains are asked to do on both sides is actually the same, and, moreover, they should be cooperating..."
Although Lin Qian held the position of Minister of Household Affairs, he was still a pawn of the two forces.
To put it bluntly, he can be considered a smart man, a layman who relies on dealing with the three forces of the DPRK and China to seek benefits for himself.
"Actually, before this year, the villain was also a pure minister. Yes, he was loyal to the emperor. But, but..."
When Lin Qian said this, he seemed a little unable to continue, but Feng Xi calmly answered:
"But you have discovered that your father's life is not long. Being a pure minister is definitely not as good as those who have the ability to follow the dragon and gain face in front of the new emperor. In addition, you used to eat three heads. Although you did not clearly favor the prince and the fourth child, as long as you You want it right away, right?”
"Little man, little man..."
Lin Qian looked at Feng Xi with some horror, but Feng Xi didn't even look at him and continued:
"In the battle for the throne between the crown prince and the fourth son, this disaster relief is crucial. You wonder, is it Lin Qian's good fortune? It must be true, right? And then what? The crown prince gave less, and the fourth son gave more. There are so many, and the purpose is just to discredit this good-for-nothing princess and disappear. For you, this is such a simple thing~"
The more Feng Xi spoke, the more Lin Qian's body shook.
Before facing Feng Xi directly, no, before today, he had always thought that Princess Zhaoming was a loser. What did she know?
Even just now, he felt that his failure today was a coincidence and that Zhaoming had good luck...
As long as he comes in and honestly explains part of it, hides most of the disadvantageous parts to the other party, and then sells it hard, he will definitely be able to fool the other party with his strength.
Until now...
"A peerless good official who would rather disobey the princess but also speak for the people. If he succeeds, he will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister soon, right?"
"Princess, princess, spare your life, princess, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."
Lin Qian was still trembling, but Feng Xi had already turned her attention to the others present.
Without her asking at all, the crowd identified the man who had been kicked several times by Feng Xi before.
According to them, they are just ordinary refugees, but they used to be idle, and now they do it just to stutter.
"Yeah, sure, it's all nonsense."
Feng Xi smiled, these people were either stupid or bad, there was no need to suffer misery with a hard-hearted person like her.
And that man had been identified by so many people, so he naturally confessed that he was a confidant of the prefect Liu Quanping, and Liu Quanping was a student of Fang Shoufu.
In other words, these people are the princelings' two-pronged preparation.
If the person entering the city is Princess Zhaoming, they will try their best to slander her and try to make the refugees riot collectively. It is best for the princess to die in this riot.
But if the people entering the city are princelings, they will go around the streets to say good things to build momentum for the prince's disaster relief and take the opportunity to regain the hearts and minds of the people in the North.
After all, the people of the North loved the Qi family so much. Now Qi Shuai and his two sons are gone. Two more years have passed. Isn't it the time when people are distracted and the prince can replace them?
Feng Xi raised her eyebrows. No wonder Qi Xiao spent so much time in the later stages of the original novel taking care of the North...
It turns out that the problem lies here.
But what does this have to do with Feng Xi?
"Okay, lock them all up and wait until Qi Xiao, that damn liar, comes back to handle it yourself."
The dead liar Qi Xiao heard these words as soon as he entered the door: "?"
