The villain who dressed as a woman

Chapter 8
That night, in the regent's study, a crowd of officials knelt down.

They trembled tremblingly.

However, the regent threatened them as if he thought they were not afraid enough: "Aren't you afraid of losing your head if you conceal such a big famine in the south of the Yangtze River and don't report it?"

"Your Highness forgive me!"

"Your Highness forgive me!"

"Your Highness forgive me!"

There is only one official with a stiff neck, as if his neck is thicker than others and it is not easy to fall off: "Your Highness, when we found out about this, there were already millions of victims of the disaster, starving and starving, even if all the money in the treasury was taken away." Disaster relief will not save them!"

"So, leave it alone?" Gu Mu asked coldly.

"Wait for a better harvest next year..." The official with a thicker neck murmured: "This is the case in previous years. The famine is related to the harvest of the people. There is only so much harvest. There will always be people who have nothing to eat and cannot help. .”

It has been a month since the disaster broke out, and one can imagine how serious it has become at this moment.

But these officials are drinking and meat every day.

Gu Mu glanced coldly at the group of people kneeling on the ground.

This is the imperial power, not angry and prestige.

Those people, except for the one with a thicker neck, didn't dare to lift their heads.

Gu Muzheng hadn't figured out how to deal with them, but saw Wangfei Shen Ling walking in lotus steps, like a fairy descending from the earth, wearing a silver moon, walking in from the outside.

She gave a blessing salute slightly: "His Royal Highness, all blessings."

Then, like a fairy sympathizing with the world, looking at those officials who concealed the report and didn't want to control them, with the most innocent expression, they lightly parted their lips: "Your Highness, if a person has no heart, we can't control him."

"Since you are not worthy of being a human being, just kill him directly."

A chill ran up the official's back.

Why is this princess so cruel?
"Okay, let's kill Concubine Yi Ai."

Gu Mu raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ling who was smiling lightly.

She has an innocent expression and an innocent look.

Like a child who doesn't know the world.

Gu Mu felt that he was really crazy. How could he have thought that his concubine should be a kind little girl?
This is a female frequency article...

His princess is a big character who can live from the first episode to the last.

The reason why he had those delusions before was probably because those girls looked innocent and innocent, so deceptive.

Otherwise, why did the old emperor find out that the two children were not his own before he died.

Only then did I know that the beloved queen had long planned to poison him to death for many years.

"My concubine, let you deal with these people." Gu Mu looked at his concubine with wide-eyed black and white eyes, and thought in his heart: If the concubine did the villain's affairs, would he be divorced? The big plan, the dream of becoming a male fan as the protagonist, is another step forward?

"Your Majesty, there are too many of them. If we go through the process, it will inevitably involve various forces, and we are unwilling. In my opinion, directly..."

"But His Highness said it himself, let me deal with it."

This time, Shen Ling smiled and showed two small canine teeth.

The maid Lu Ming who followed her in shot out several poisonous needles from the palm of her hand.

Plunge into the temples of those officials one by one.

All of a sudden, the five officials all died violently in the regent's study.

???

The next day, the entire court was shaken.

It is known that the Prince Regent summoned five officials to his study.

Then, those officials all disappeared!

As a result, the entire court was panicked, and the way they looked at Gu Mu changed.

They didn't say anything, but they were thinking in their hearts: The regent acted so perversely that he assassinated five court officials indiscriminately...

How could they have thought that the man was killed by the most famous and refined princess in the capital?

It's useless for Gu Mu to be dumbfounded.

People are dead.

The dry well that was carried to the palace by the princess was filled.

Originally, I wanted to hand it over to the concubine so that she could play more villains.

Unexpectedly, the princess did not take the usual path, and killed someone directly in Gu Mu's study.

They don't let people go home to have a full meal.

Just... outrageous...

In this way, Gu Mu took a big blame of the villain, not to mention that everyone is dead, and there are some things that cannot be explained clearly.

Even if Gu Mu said that the five officials were executed because of their crimes, the other officials would definitely think in their hearts if they didn't say anything - it's all up to you, the regent.

Therefore, Gu Mu didn't even bother to explain.

The whitewashing plan has failed, so it can only be made up by political achievements.

But, there are some things I still have to say——

"My king has heard about the famine in the south of the Yangtze River."

Gu Mu sat behind the little emperor. Although he was called to listen to the government under the curtain, in fact, it was Gu Mu who was in power.

"Famine? Is there such a thing?"

"I have heard that there are famines in the south of the Yangtze River every year. I don't know how serious it is this year?"

"Hey, famine has always been a major problem for this dynasty. We can only hope that the weather will be smooth and the people will have a good harvest. But this is God's will, we can't decide!"

On the contrary, the several officials headed by the prime minister all knelt down and said earnestly: "Your Highness, since we know about the famine in the south of the Yangtze River, we can't ignore it!"

"Your Highness, if you can save one more person! I am willing to take the lead in donating food for disaster relief!"

"Your Highness, the national treasury is in short supply and there is not enough money! Not only will it not be able to save the people, it may even threaten the government of our country!" The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who is in charge of the treasury, told the truth with tears on his face. The court has no ability: "I am willing to donate everything, without salary, and use my money to help the people in exchange for peace in my court!"

……

Gu Mu threw the fruit plate in his hand to the ground, and a crisp sound interrupted the officials' conversation.

"All of you mean that this king can't be saved?"

The group of officials looked at each other in blank dismay... Isn't it impossible to save this?
Hubu Shangshu is straightforward: "Your Highness, the national treasury is short, and we have to reserve food for the soldiers on the frontier, recruit soldiers and horses. If the treasury has no money left, don't come and commit crimes, we can only wait for death!"

"At that time, it's not just the disaster victims who died!"

"Think again, Your Highness!"

"Think again, Your Highness!"

There were also many officials who knelt on the ground and advised Gu Mu to leave it alone.

"Using the people's life money to exchange your dignified life, don't you feel uneasy about your conscience?" Gu Mu never thought that even if he was above ten thousand people, he would be so powerful.

In the face of the suffering of the people, they will be so powerless.

No... the one who can do nothing should be the old emperor.

He will do his best to bring peace to all the people in the world.

"Your Highness, we are thinking for me!"

"Yes, Your Highness, if war breaks out..."

Gu Mu interrupted them: "If war breaks out, you may lose everything. Have you ever thought about how much food is needed for those who are about to starve to death without enough to eat?"

"If you were them, would you still say such things?"
