Just after dawn, screams rang out from the back house of the county government office.
The maids and wives looked at the empty back house, as if they had seen a ghost, and reported to the madam in panic.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw that there was only a bed left in the madam's gorgeous room, and there was no furniture.
I saw a ghost. Overnight, the whole house was wiped out, and there was nothing left.
The maid woke up the lady in panic. The lady fainted when she saw all this.
At the same time, screams rang out throughout the mansion.
Not only the county magistrate's house, but also the homes of several wealthy businessmen in the county were ransacked overnight, and the news spread throughout the county.
As soon as Shopkeeper Shen got up from Yuelai Restaurant, he saw mountains of food piled up in the backyard, and his eyes widened in fear.
Thinking that he had seen it wrong, he wiped his eyes and took a closer look to confirm that he had seen it correctly. He ran to Situ Yu's room in surprise.
"Master, there is a lot of food piled up in the backyard."
Shopkeeper Shen was so excited that his hands were trembling. Yuelai Restaurant was short of food when giving porridge, and suddenly there was so much more food, which was a great relief.
Situ Yu ran downstairs and was frightened when he saw the mountains of food piled up in the backyard.
"Where did all this food come from?"
"I don't know. I just got up to go to the toilet and saw these grains."
So much food appeared out of thin air in the backyard, and it appeared in such a short period of time. They didn't hear any movement, which made people suspicious.
Who has the ability to move tens of thousands of kilograms of grain to the backyard silently overnight?
Min Xiyao's name instantly appeared in Situ Yu's mind.
He paused and told Shopkeeper Shen: "Hurry up and order people to move this grain into the granary and add a few more sheds outside the city."
"yes"
Shopkeeper Shen was so excited that he hurried outside to call someone.
The county magistrate's house was robbed. Who has such great ability?
As soon as County Magistrate Li entered the Yamen in the morning, he heard from his servants that his home had been stolen. He was so angry that he immediately sent out government officials to find the thief, and the county town instantly became a mess.
Min Xiyao came outside the city and saw several new porridge sheds outside the city. More than a dozen large iron pots were constantly cooking rice porridge. The gray-faced victims were queuing up to receive porridge with bowls in their hands. She left with a smile. The county seat.
Along the way, there were many victims. Some hundreds of people from the whole village gathered together, and some walked to the county town in twos and threes carrying wooden sticks, hoping to get relief food.
After several days of freezing and hunger, many victims had lost their strength and collapsed in the snow in despair.
Min Xiyao frowned, and then a plan came to mind.
Walking to a deserted corner, he immediately flew into the air, throwing food to the edge of the crowd while flying.
When I saw those people who were dying of hunger and collapsed on the roadside, I quickly poured some spiritual spring water into their mouths.
As soon as the water from the spiritual spring was drunk, those people suddenly became alive with miraculously bright faces.
The food that appeared out of thin air and the sudden miracle of healing reminded people of the legendary goddess. When they raised their heads, they just saw the goddess flying from the sky.
The people who got the food were so excited that they burst into tears and thanked the goddess one after another.
In this way, Min Xiyao robbed corrupt officials and profiteers in several counties and used the food they hoarded to save tens of thousands of people and obtain tens of thousands of merit points.
On this day, she just walked to the state capital and heard the news that King Rui had arrived at the state capital.
After looking at the soup kitchens on the street and the victims in the big tents, she came to an inn.
Sitting in the lobby of the inn, after hearing a lot of information here, she narrowed her eyes and walked out.
When they arrived at the gathering point for the victims, they happened to see Li Yu and his people inspecting the disaster relief situation. Min Xiyao came to a deserted corner.
Li Yuzheng was leading people to inspect the porridge-giving situation, and a clear and sweet voice came into his ears:
"Li Yu, come to the private room No. 302 of Juxian Restaurant later."
This is Min Xiyao's voice. Has she come to the state capital?
Li Yu looked around in surprise, but did not find the figure he wanted to see.
The officials behind him saw King Rui stop and looked around, thinking that something had happened. They were about to ask when they heard King Rui order:
"Disaster relief is urgent. You must remember that the lives of the people must come first. Li Shangshu, I leave this to you."
Before they could react, King Rui turned and left.
All the officials were confused and could only continue to inspect the disaster situation.
Li Yu came to private room 302 of Juxian Restaurant, knocked on the door, and heard the voice inside, with a beautiful smile on his lips.
Opening the private room door, I saw Min Xiyao sitting by the window, looking at the scene on the street outside the window, and I suddenly felt a peaceful feeling in my heart.
He walked up quickly and asked Min Xiyao, "Why are you here?"
"I came here for something!"
Min Xiyao smiled slightly, revealing two beautiful dimples, pointed to the chair next to her, and said to Li Yu: "Sit down!"
As the legitimate son of the queen, Li Yu had a distinguished status. Except for his father, the queen, and his mother, no one had ever been so calm and calm in front of him. Min Xiyao interacted with him as an ordinary person, which felt good.
As soon as he sat down, he heard Min Xiyao ask: "Are you the imperial minister sent by the imperial court this time?"
Li Yu nodded and replied, "Well, my father sent me down to provide disaster relief.
Min Xiyao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Yu, asking, "Is it not going well?"
Li Yu answered honestly: "It is indeed difficult to handle. This time after checking the household department, I found out that the national treasury is empty and the national granary has been stolen by those moths."
He sighed. The disaster was so serious this time. Not only did these corrupt officials not cooperate with the disaster relief, they also formed cliques to rebel.
Min Xiyao took a sip of tea and asked softly: "I have a way to help the victims. I wonder if Prince Rui is willing to do it?"
Li Yu asked curiously: "What can I do?"
God knows how heavy his heart has been over the past few days, seeing the victims freezing to death and starving to death every day.
As the imperial minister responsible for this disaster relief, the food distributed by the court was not enough for disaster relief. Even if he wanted to pull people back from the hands of death, he was unable to do so!
Min Xiyao smiled slightly and pushed a wooden box in front of Li Yu.
"Here's some evidence I stumbled onto."
————
At night, when the night was quiet, Li Yu followed Min Xiyao into the magistrate's residence. Although Li Yu did not ask Min Xiyao what he wanted to do, he was a little confused.
The two came to the study and heard the conversation between the prefect and his staff. Li Yu was so angry that he clenched his fists and tried to control his anger.
He stared at the magistrate closely, listened to the conversations of several people, and secretly cursed these dog officials who looked down upon human lives.
Just as he was listening to the conversation inside attentively, he suddenly saw several people talking fainted instantly, and heard Min Xiyao whispering in his ear:
"Next, everything I have to do is for the people. Don't betray me."
Before he could react, Min Xiyao waved his hand, and except for the chairs and tables where the prefects were sitting, everything else in the study disappeared instantly.
Well……
Li Yu looked at Min Xiyao with wide eyes, opened his mouth, and just as he was about to ask, a stack of letters was stuffed into his hand.
