Chapter 599: Doesn’t it look like the Eighth Prince’s style?
The old lady didn't believe it. She turned back to look at the old man sitting aside, sipping tobacco, and said, "Old man, have you heard? The imperial court has allocated disaster relief funds to our county?"
Seeing the old man put down the cigarette pole in his hand, he lazily raised his wrinkled eyelids, glanced at Mu Yifei and the others, and said:
"If this girl's relatives weren't lying, then the county magistrate had embezzled the relief funds."
The old man's expression didn't show any surprise. The county magistrate Liu Jian was well-known in Hongwu County. It was not impossible to take advantage of this natural disaster to gain a fortune.
This kind of dog official doesn't value human life at all, and he can't do anything that violates his conscience.
"Damn it!"
A heavy fist hit the table, Qianye Yunxuan's face turned dark, and the cold and harsh aura that had rarely appeared in the past few days came out again at this time.
This move really startled the couple, and they both turned their attention to Qianye Yunxuan.
But seeing his deep and cold gaze, it was scary, and the old couple were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything.
When Mu Yifei saw it, she quickly stepped forward and pulled Qianye Yunxuan's sleeves, pretending to be nervous and said:
"Keep your voice down. If that dog official hears it, you will be in trouble. The Emperor will find out about this one day, so we, the common people, should not care too much."
After saying that, he glanced at Qianye Yunxuan. At this moment, Qianye Yunxuan calmed down and felt a little unnatural for his actions just now.
His gloomy expression faded away at this time. He looked at the two frightened old couples in front of him and showed a faint smile, "Don't be afraid, you two. I'm just not angry with that dog officer."
Seeing that Qianye Yunxuan returned to normal, the old couple heaved a sigh of relief.
"Hey, young man, we were really scared to death by you just now."
The old lady talked more, and then she mysteriously approached Qianye Yunxuan and said:
"But you really have to speak softly. If someone hears it and it reaches the ears of the dog officer, you will be doomed."
As she said that, she glanced outside the door and continued: "But now it's raining so much that no one dares to go out. The county magistrate has also been hiding at home for more than half a month, so he probably won't be able to hear what you said, haha~
~~"
After the old man laughed a few times, he went back to his own business.
Qianye Yunxuan and Mu Yifei looked at each other, finished the remaining food in their bowls, said hello to the old couple and went back to their room.
Qianye Yunxuan stood at the window with a frown on his face, looking at the rain falling continuously outside the window, his thin lips pursed slightly.
Mu Yifei looked at his troubled back, smiled, walked up behind him, walked around from behind, hugged his waist, leaned her face on his back, and said:
"Thinking about disaster relief funds?"
"Um."
He nodded, and the small hands covering his waist responded solemnly.
He heard Mu Yifei chuckle twice behind him, then walked around to him again, raised her eyes to look at him, and said with a smile:
"It's not like the Eighth Prince's style to look sad when doing this kind of thing."
Qianye Yunxuan laughed out loud at her teasing, stretched out his arms, hugged her in his arms, sighed, and said:
"I'm just worried about the people in Hongwu County who encounter such dog officials. Without this incident, the people don't know how long they would have to live under the oppression of dog officials."
