Xia Bingyan's heart was filled with unyielding anger. Corruption, corruption, corruption again?
Now, more than a month has passed since the last time I talked to Nangong Mo about disaster relief funds. These drought-stricken people have no idea about it and are still sitting in the drought-stricken fields, sighing.
Liuxu stood behind her cautiously, not daring to move or take a breath.
"Master." Don't get angry on the spot, don't.
Xia Bingyan finally loosened her tight fists in her sleeves and stepped forward to hold the old man's wrinkled and grooved hand, "Old man, the matter has not reached a dead end yet. Tomorrow morning you will bring a few people with you to say
Folks who can talk to me, go to the Governor's Mansion and I will give you an explanation."
"Governor's Mansion?" Upon hearing this, Father Li couldn't help but tremble all over, and shook his head hastily, "No, no need, kind lady, we would be kicked out if we just went to any ordinary government palace, let alone the Governor's Mansion.
.”
"It's okay, Liuxu..." she called coldly.
"Yes, Master." Liu Xu took out a jade pendant from her arms and put it in Xia Bingyan's hand.
Xia Bingyan put the jade pendant into Father Li's hand, "Old man, with this jade pendant, they won't dare to embarrass you. Liu Catkin will meet you in front of the house."
"Really, is it possible?" The old man seemed to have seen the dawn. He clenched the jade pendant in his hands with both hands. Can it really help them survive the drought? So that his son can marry a wife and the villagers can not be hungry.
His whole wish is to make sure that the children in the village can afford to go to private schools.
"It's okay." Xia Bingyan assured in a low voice.
"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss. I, Old Man Li, represent the blind date of our village. Thank you, Miss." As he said this, everyone behind him knelt down.
Liuxu couldn't help but wipe the tears left behind. The ground was so hard and full of bumps. Kneeling down would hurt her knees.
"Dad Li, please get up." Xia Bingyan helped the old man in front of her, "I'm waiting for you at the Governor's Mansion. I will definitely let you get through this year's drought safely, and I will also let you have good harvests every year in the future."
After saying that, he greeted Liu Xu and left.
When their car drove far away, they could still see these farmers sitting on their knees on the ground, kowtowing constantly.
"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite." Xia Bingyan said with emotion while leaning on the soft couch.
Even if your family is rich and you don’t have anything to eat, you will still be like a handful of dust. Having no money is not a big deal, but having money with nowhere to spend it is the biggest joke.
Back at the Governor's Palace, Zhu Li was already standing in front of the palace gate looking around. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the carriage coming back and hurried forward.
"The Queen, the Emperor and all the ministers are already waiting for the Queen."
"What's the matter Zhu Li? You're so anxious." She helped Liu Xu get out of the car and looked at Zhu Li with sweat on the tip of her nose in a funny way.
Zhu Li's face turned pale, and he almost wailed in his heart, "Oh, Your Majesty, didn't you agree last night that Mr. Chen in the Governor's Mansion would host a banquet for the Emperor and Your Majesty at noon today? It's already this hour, and the Emperor has been waiting for Your Majesty for almost half a day.
It’s time.”
"I know, go ahead and tell me. I'll go over after I change my clothes."
"Yes, old slave, let's go right away." After Zhu Li said that, he ran in.
On the way back to the room, she was still angry in her heart. People outside were worrying about their livelihood for a year, but in the Governor's Mansion, they were still throwing extravagant banquets. It was really ironic.
