Han Qiumiao specially asked a few guards to stay at the granary in the south of the city so that the people of Lingdu City could gather there to cause trouble and notify her immediately to deal with it.
Han Feng is the king of a country, and it would be difficult if he saw the people of Lingdu City crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves to beg for food, while Chrysostom opened his mouth and gave out food.
"So you want to pretend to be a villain for Xiaofeng?" Zhou Xingyun immediately understood what Han Qiumiao meant.
"Ha...it's not me, it's you." Han Qiumiao raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a very elegant smile. Zhou Xingyun's acting skills are so good, it would be a waste of talent not to let him pretend to be a villain.
"Is this really good?"
"There is nothing good or bad. Only by destroying and rebuilding can the people of Lingdu City see the truth. We have nearly a month to let them understand that the royal family is not as bad as the northern princes said." Han Qiumi, Xu Zhiqian and others discussed last night, and then
Figure out how to deal with the people in Lingdu City making troubles begging for food...
So, Zhou Xingyun asked Han Qiumiao to prepare for the trip, quickly put on his clothes and went to find Xuanyuan Chongwu and his animals.
The young men in Yushu Zifang are all smart people. How can we not call them into trouble?
In the granary in the south of Lingdu City, thousands of people knelt on the streets, pleading with the emperor to open the granary to release grain.
When Zhou Xingyun and others arrived on the street, they saw water outside the warehouse and they couldn't find a place to stay even if they wanted to move forward.
However, at the forefront of the thousands of people in Lingdu City, stood two neatly dressed middle-aged men and a woman with heavy makeup.
The two men and one woman seemed to be competing with the guards guarding the door of the granary, asking the guards to open the granary and distribute the stored food to the people of Lingdu City.
"We are going to die. The people are almost too hungry to survive. Please do me a favor, sir. All the villagers and elders are kowtowing to you." The woman cried loudly and her exaggerated expression left Zhou Xingyun speechless.
On the other hand, the two middle-aged men standing next to the woman looked very decent: "We know that the situation in Lingdu City is very strict, and everyone's requirements are not high. As long as we can eat half a meal a day and barely survive, we will
Stay safe and do not cause trouble to the officials. Can you please pass on a message and distribute some food to the people?"
"My lord, look at the people here. They haven't eaten for two days. Please show mercy and give them a bite of food. If we weren't desperate, why would we come begging for food?"
"I have made it very clear that without Princess Yongming's handwriting, no one can touch the food in the granary." The guard replied faithfully. Although the food in the warehouse had been emptied out as early as the night before yesterday,
Han Qiumiao had ordered that no outsiders should know that the granary was empty, lest the people of Lingdu City go directly to the castle to cause trouble.
"My lord, this is our little thought, please accept it." The middle-aged man took out a large bag of gold and silver jewelry from his arms and said to the guard earnestly: "It's not that we don't have money to sell food now, but
There is no channel to buy it. If the official allows it, we are willing to buy it at a high price."
The middle-aged man tried to bribe the guards. As long as the guards nodded, he would act as their internal agent and secretly sell food from the granary to them... Money was not an issue.
"No reward for no merit, I accept your kindness." The guard pushed away the jewelry handed by the middle-aged man without any pretense.
"Ask the heavens to open your eyes! You guys
This is forcing us people to die! If we starve to death on the streets, you will be the real culprit in killing us! We have tens of thousands of villagers and elders in Lingdu City, and they will haunt you even if they are ghosts! You will die badly!" The woman with heavy makeup wailed again,
That loud voice, which was even more uncomfortable than the lion's roar, instantly put pressure on the entire audience.
"Who can think of a way to shut her up?" Zhou Xingyun covered his ears with his hands.
"Brother Yun, that's the Madam of the Huafang. When we sneaked into the Huafang yesterday to investigate, we saw her commanding the strong men to hide the food stored in the Huafang in the mezzanine of the bottom of the Huafang." Qin Shou said naively. The Huafang in Lingdu City is a fixed place on the lake.
The fake boat on the water has a very secret mezzanine at the bottom of the boat.
The mezzanine was originally used to hide smuggled female slaves and train disobedient prostitutes. Now in extraordinary times, they hide food in it.
"There is an inn and two restaurants near Huafang. They all transported food to Huafang last night." Guo Heng added, with Huafang as the center, the nearby inns and restaurants all hid their stored food in Huafang.
First, because there is quite a lot of food stored in inns and restaurants, it is easy to be discovered by the royal guards if you hide it at home, so it is better to hide it in one place.
The second reason is that the mezzanine at the bottom of the boat is very secretive. If a few of them hadn't sneaked into the boat and heard a seductive sound coming from the bottom of the boat, it would have been difficult to discover that there was a mezzanine at the bottom of the boat.
"The two middle-aged men next to the old bustard of the boat are actually young dignitaries in Lingdu City. They were also present when the food was transported last night." Li Xiaofan stared at the two people in front of him with envy and hatred. The reason why they were there last night
It was discovered that there was a mezzanine at the bottom of the boat. It was these two guys who made a big noise and attracted their attention.
Yesterday, the Madam of Hua Fang was organizing food on the mezzanine floor of the boat. When these two young dignitaries saw the woman imprisoned in the mezzanine, they couldn't help but feel lustful and bribed the Madam of Hua Fang with two bags of rice.
The women imprisoned in the mezzanine are all prostitutes who have not yet been educated. To be precise, they are all girls who do not want to fall into prostitution and are extremely rebellious. The two young dignitaries probably wanted to play new tricks, so they directly took the place of the old madam who painted the boat.
Train the girl.
Qin Shou, Guo Heng, and Li Xiaofan successively asked Wei Suyao for credit, and worked hard to report the information collected last night, so that Wei Suyao could reward them based on their merits and introduce the girls from Shuixian Pavilion to them.
"You're not a hero to save the beauty?" Zhou Xingyun looked at the animals in disbelief. Seeing the Huafang girl being humiliated, Yushu Zifang's animals should have no hesitation in saving the animals.
"When we found the entrance to the mezzanine, they were almost done. So for the sake of the overall situation, the brothers had no choice but to endure it." Qin Shou said with regret. Xuanyuan Chongwu smiled disdainfully after hearing this: "Don't say it so righteously, okay?
, it’s obviously because the other person’s appearance doesn’t suit your taste.”
"Although Lingdu City has a large population, the people have poor food and housing. Not only are the girls in the paintings incomparable to the prostitutes in the capital, but even the girls in the poor brothels in Fujing City are no worse than those here. What's more,
Besides, there are too many beauties around Brother Yun, so our sense of aesthetics has naturally become very tricky..." Guo Heng analyzed rationally.
"Actually, their figures are very good, and they are bulging in the places that should be bulging..." Li Xiaofan described it with relish, and even gestured towards Zhou Xingyun, as if to imply that he suffered a loss for not following everyone to the Huafang to watch the show last night.
Zhou Xingyun visually observed the gloomy-looking girls of Wei Suyao on the side, and couldn't help but quickly pulled a few animals to tell them to pay attention to what they said: "Say less, you all, please stop saying a few words, we are here to do business."
A few romantic guys actually talked in front of girls in broad daylight about their impressions of sneaking into the painting boat last night. Isn't this obvious? After Wei Suyao heard these words, would he introduce the junior sister from Narcissus Pavilion to them?
"The people in Lingdu City are starving to death! But you are unwilling to open the warehouse to store grain. We want to see the emperor!" The middle-aged man could not bribe the guards, so he had to raise his arms and ask to see the emperor.
"Yes! We want to see the emperor! Let the emperor come out and take a look at us poor people!"
"The Emperor loves the people like his own sons and is kind to the world! He will not leave us alone! You must be abusing your private power to monopolize food! We want to see the Emperor in person!"
"See the Emperor! See the Emperor! See the Emperor..." Thousands of people kneeling outside the granary door clapped their hands on the ground in unison, followed by two middle-aged men shouting, asking the emperor to come out and judge face to face with everyone.
The people in Lingdu City were agitated, and the guards responsible for guarding the granary were in a panic for a while, not knowing how to deal with the situation. They knew very well that if this matter was not handled well today, it would cause thousands of people to riot.
Although the food in the granary has been emptied, even if the other party wants to grab the food, it cannot be done, but Princess Yongming has explained that they must not conflict with the people of Lingdu City.
"Senior Brother Xingyun, it's your turn." Xu Zhiqian was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so she quickly pulled Zhou Xingyun's sleeve and signaled him to come forward to stop the people from causing trouble.
"Okay, keep it with me. Zhiqian, Qiu Miao, stay aside and watch the show. Qin Shou, Guo Heng, Xiaofan, Chongwu, follow me!" Zhou Xingyun cleared his throat, and then Qi gathered in his Dantian...
"Bold and unruly! The emperor is the king of a country! How can you, a bunch of lowly people, meet the emperor whenever they want!" Zhou Xingyun suddenly shouted, suppressing the shouts of "meet the emperor".
When the residents of Lingdu City who were kneeling on the ground heard this, they all looked back curiously...
"A good dog doesn't block the road!" When the residents of Lingdu City looked back at him, Zhou Xingyun raised his leg and kicked the young man kneeling in front of him.
"Ah!" The young man obviously didn't expect that Zhou Xingyun's behavior was so bad. He would kick someone without saying a word, and then step on his chest and walk forward.
When the man next to the young man saw this, he immediately pointed at Zhou Xingyun angrily: "How can you kick people...ah..."
"Shut up." Li Xiaofan didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and then imitated Zhou Xingyun and stepped on the man who blamed Zhou Xingyun.
Zhou Xingyun and the five men were like tyrannical gangsters, moving straight forward, and all the residents who knelt on their way were kicked to the ground one by one.
"To be honest, it's not bad to lie down after kneeling for a long time. Let me help you..." Xuanyuan Chongwu put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked to a woman. Everyone saw him calmly raising his thigh and using
The soles of his feet stepped toward the front of the girl's house.
"No!" When the girl saw Xuanyuan Chongwu's sole stepping on her nose, she was so frightened that she ran away.
When Qin Shou and others saw this, they all secretly cursed themselves for being stupid. Why did they kick a grown man when they could bully women? Or was Xuanyuan Chongwu poisonous enough? The only clear stream left in Yushu Zhifang? Bah!
The domineering actions of Zhou Xingyun and the five people undoubtedly aroused public outrage. The middle-aged man who took the lead in shouting "Meet the Emperor" immediately turned around and asked: "Who are you! How can you treat us so rudely!"
