Quick Time Travel: I'm the Villain's Goldfinger

Chapter 15 Prince, I'm Covering It! 15
Seeing Yun Yuxuan's distracted look, Long Hongbang raised his eyebrows, and asked in Yun Yuxuan's ear, "What are you thinking?"

Long Hongbang noticed that Yun Yuxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

So, does Yun Yuxuan like his voice?

Knowing that Yun Yuxuan was fascinated by his own voice, Long Hongbang's mouth slightly curled up, this Miss Wen Family!Really interesting!

Yun Yuxuan "seeed" Long Hongbang's thoughts, and his face darkened, "What are you thinking!?"

Long Hongbang chuckled, "I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to know how far our Master Xuan can hear the sound."

Excuse!

Yun Yuxuan glared at Long Hongbang with a dark face, "Don't worry, there is not even a rabbit around here, you are safe!"

"Master, master! Look, the villain is so annoying!" Xiaozhi kept yelling in Yun Yuxuan's mind, "So, am I the cutest?"

Xiaozhi was afraid that this villain would steal his master's attention.

Yun Yuxuan gave his Xiaozhi a reassurance, "Don't worry, you are the cutest."

Long Hongbang is not the cute type.

Long Hongbang waved his folding fan, as if he was a young master traveling.This Miss Wen can actually feel that there is no danger nearby!

She is amazing!

Long Hongbang resumed his usual indifferent expression, "I don't know if Master Xuan's kung fu is ranked in the Jianghu?"

rank?

Yun Yuxuan scoffed, what ranking did he use?
Judging from his own combat effectiveness, no matter where he is, isn't he always No.1?
He rolled his eyes cryptically, "You don't have to test me, I said to protect you, and I will never let you get hurt, what do you do with so many questions."

Even if you ask, you don't necessarily know.

Long Hongbang twitched the corners of his mouth. This girl is also pretty, with good kung fu, and she is the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Wen!
Anywhere is good, but talking is too choking.

Fortunately, Liujia Village arrived soon, and Si Yuanhuai saw people living in the distance, so he returned to Long Hongbang.

"Master, the Liu Family Village has arrived."

Brother Liu also had a simple and honest face, "Well, our village is in front of us, and the poor are a little bit poor. Fortunately, the place is remote and relatively safe."

Hearing Brother Liu say this, Long Hongbang became suspicious, "Is it safe to be remote?"

Big brother Liu sighed, "Isn't it? This year, some villages were hit by a disaster so badly that they couldn't survive, so they raised their villages to rob other villages."

When Long Hongbang heard this, his face was very ugly, the government forced the people to rebel!

Seeing Long Hongbang's expression, Si Yuanhuai was afraid that his master would be agitated and accidentally reveal his identity.Quickly took over the quarrel, "Brother Liu, it's been so difficult for you this year, and there's no sign from above?"

Mentioning this, Big Brother Liu became even more angry, "In the past few years, we have suffered disasters, and more or less some relief food was left out. This year, don't say that the relief food has not been seen, and the tax has not been reduced!"

Everyone can't afford to eat, so who can afford to pay taxes?

Si Yuanhuai was also very heavy, "Brother Liu, is this only in your county? Or is it the same in other places?"

Obviously, the imperial court has already exempted the victims from taxes, so who is collecting them?

Brother Liu is not very clear, "I don't know about other places, but the village next door also has to pay taxes, and now everyone has run away!"

Run, gone?

What is this concept?
Long Hongbang and Si Yuanhuai looked at each other, and both felt that the matter might be more serious than imagined.

Only Yun Yuxuan was unaware of this, she simply didn't understand what relief food and taxes meant to the people of Ancient Blue Star.

Si Yuanhuai was born in poverty, so he was deeply touched by this, and couldn't help empathizing, "Everyone is gone, what about the old people and children? They can't run away anymore."

Brother Liu sighed and shook his head, "There are no old people and children, who cares so much in a disaster year."

Yun Yuxuan saw the result in Brother Liu's mind.

are dead.

Long Hongbang didn't expect that he hadn't formally started the investigation yet, but just arrived at the border of Jiangnan, the situation was already so dire!

On the way from the village to Brother Liu's house, the group didn't even meet a single person.

Long Hongbang even wondered if even the Liu Family Village would be extinct? "Where are the people in your village? Why isn't there any?"

Brother Liu clutched his waist, "Yes, I don't come out. The family sends one person out to find food, and the others lie down at home, which can save some energy."

Those present were all grown up in rich clothes and good food, and they couldn't imagine what it would be like to lie at home to save energy.

Yun Yuxuan just listened to everyone's conversation with a blank face, always feeling that the people living in Gu Lanxing are so miserable, girls can't go out, and they have to lie down to save energy when there is a disaster?
What terrible times are these?

Brother Liu is already married, and Si Yuanhuai thought that Brother Liu was just going out alone, but he didn't expect to come to Brother Liu's house, and there was no one there!
"Brother Liu, where's sister-in-law?" When Si Yuanhuai came last time, he was clearly a family. Why is he the only one left in Brother Liu's family this time?

Not only is there no one, but even the house is dilapidated and dusty everywhere.

When Long Hongbang entered, he almost choked.

Brother Liu touched his eyes, "Hey, there are still people. My wife starved to death a few days ago."

starving?
Si Yuanhuai was taken aback, "What about the children?"

Big brother Liu shook his head and didn't speak.

Everyone at the scene also understood what Brother Liu meant, and they all died.

Long Hongbang's face was gloomy, these corrupt officials!They never thought about what the money they embezzled meant to a family!
They also don't know how many people were killed by the little money they embezzled!
Long Hongbang's face was gloomy, and his subordinates didn't dare to speak, even Si Yuanhuai didn't dare to touch Long Hongbang's bad luck at this time.

Only Yun Yuxuan, hugging Shang Fang's sword, leaned on the door frame and said to Long Hongbang, "Aren't you going to get something to eat now? There are not even any wild animals in the mountains. What do we people eat?"

Of course Yun Yuxuan knew that Long Hongbang had brought some snacks when he went out.

However, in this case!What's the use of snacks?

It's not enough for her to fit between her teeth. How are they going to fill their stomachs?

If the case has not started yet, and everyone is starving and emaciated, how can they not be laughed out of hand when it spreads?
Yun Yuxuan broke everyone's silence, and Si Yuanhuai also laughed and laughed, "Yes, yes, we still have to get some food back. We brought some rice, but it probably won't last for two days. I don't know what's nearby. Is there anything to eat?"

Brother Liu shook his head with a wry smile, "Where is there anything to eat? The nearby hills have been searched for several rounds. How can we still keep it?"

Long Hongbang's face became more and more ugly, "Get some porridge for today, and tomorrow we will go to the city to buy something to eat!"

"The food in the city is expensive! It's hard to buy!" Brother Liu poured another basin of cold water.
