There were many people standing outside the gate of the magistrate's house.

There were also many people who were carried here by their families.

"Master Prefect, you must help us!"

"That food is our ration for the second half of the year. If it's gone, we really won't be able to survive!"

"Yes, my family still relies on that little food to survive!"

The common people who had been hit by meteorites on their fertile fields knelt on the ground crying one by one, begging the prefect for help.

The prefect did not come out, but a guard with a knife came out. The guard with a knife glanced at them and said in a cold tone, "The prefect said, this is a natural disaster and there is nothing we can do about it!"

"If you want compensation, go ask God for it!"

The people were stunned.

What do you mean, the prefect, don't care?

Ignore them completely?

"Prefect, you can't do this!!"

"Yes, Lord Prefect, if you don't care about us, we will really die!!"

"I still have children at home who are waiting to be fed..."

"I have an old man above me and a young man below me. Lord Magistrate——"

The people were crying sadly, and the guards with swords were a little impatient, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

“Who can be blamed for such a natural disaster?”

"Perhaps you did something immoral and were punished like this by God."

"When encountering something like this, you should look more closely at your own reasons. Have you done anything immoral?"

"Or maybe your elders did something immoral!"

"Can we rely on the prefect to do this?"

"Don't make any noise here!"

The common people sobbed, "We don't blame the prefect."

"The prefect is our parent, we just hope the prefect can help us!"

"We just hope that the prefect can give us a clear path!"

"We have never done anything harmful!"

"My son joined the army and never came back!"

"Eighteen generations of our ancestors have never harmed anyone!"

How else can they find their own reasons? Where to find it?

"That's none of our business!"

The guard with the sword said coldly, "The prefect can't control you either!"

"Now that the Earth Kingdom has no emperor, if you encounter such a thing, just find a way to solve it yourself."

"Don't always expect others to help you!"

The people were puzzled, "The Tu Kingdom was defeated, but the Yuan Kingdom took over!"

"Isn't our current emperor Emperor Dewu?"

"Didn't Emperor Dewu say that? We are treated the same as the people of the Yuan Kingdom!"

"Master Magistrate, please help us report this matter!"

"Please-"

The people knelt down and kowtowed.

The sword-carrying guard raised his chin slightly, "Do you think the Yuan Kingdom will control you?"

"You are the people of Tu Kingdom. How can the emperor of Yuan Kingdom care about your life and death?"

"Maybe they just want you all to die!"

Some people stood up and shouted, "Impossible!"

"Emperor Dewu is not such a person!"

"Yes, if he wants us to die, why doesn't he just kill us?"

"That's right, don't slander Emperor Dewu!"

The guard with the knife chuckled twice, "A bunch of idiots."

"Emperor Dewu will kill you directly, and you will be stigmatized."

"If you die yourself, what does it have to do with him?"

"Of course he doesn't need to bear any infamy!"

"How great. He has a good reputation and you can get rid of him too. It's a win-win situation."

As soon as the guard with the sword finished speaking, the people were stunned and their thoughts were somewhat shaken.

Yes.

This is a win-win situation.

"Otherwise, why do you think the prefect doesn't care about you?"

The sword-carrying guard said, "If there were no orders from above, how could the prefect do something so ruthless?"

Yu Chixi stood aside, smiling and rolling his eyes.

How funny!

She has seen her father's account books. For this country, her father has allocated a lot of money.

Emperor Dewu gave this Tu Kingdom to Yuchi Xi. Naturally, he loved Tu Kingdom as much as Wu Wu. In Emperor Dewu's view, Tu Kingdom belonged to Xi'er, so he naturally wanted to take more care of it.

Therefore, among the countries that were overthrown, the Tu Kingdom had the largest allocation.

The people didn't know these things. They only knew that the prefect ignored them and listened to Emperor Dewu.

They were dejected and had nowhere to vent their resentment.

Resent Emperor Dewu?

What is the use?

Emperor Dewu won't even come here!

Their resentment is in vain, but if they don't resent Emperor Dewu, who can they resent?

Resent yourself.

I blame myself for being just a farmer.

Human life is like a mustard.

Yu Chixi raised his voice and said, "But I heard that Emperor Dewu allocated a lot of money to the Tu Kingdom!"

"In your city, there are at least one hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"These one hundred thousand taels of silver were not used to build the city at all?"

"But you, the prefect, are greedy for ink?"

Hearing the sound, the guard with a sword looked towards Yu Chixi, drew his sword out of its sheath, "How reckless!"

"Where does this kid come from, how dare you slander the prefect."

"Why don't you quickly kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake?"

Yu Chixi burst out laughing, took out the jade seal from his arms, and played with it in his hand, "Want me to kneel down?"

"I'm afraid you don't have that ability."

"Let your prefect get out."

"See what I have in my hand!"

Yuchixi held Yuxi and shook it, "My father should have sent someone to bring Yuxi's portrait over to show you."

"What, you still don't know me?"

"If you don't know me, tell the prefect to come out and see!"

There is no way the prefect doesn’t know him either.

When the guard with the sword saw Yuxi, he panicked. He probably guessed Yu Chixi's identity, but he didn't want to believe it. He thought for a moment, turned around and ran away.

He went in and called the prefect out.

The magistrate came out very quickly. He saw clearly what Yu Chixi was holding, and he was so frightened that he knelt down. "I'd like to see you, your highness, the little princess. Your highness, the little princess, is a thousand years old."

The people on the side:! ! !

little princess?

Is this the little princess of the Yuan Kingdom?

Yu Chixi exclaimed, "I wouldn't dare."

"Don't call me little princess, this Hairu City is your world now."

"Who am I, a princess?"

The prefect was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Although he was the former prefect of the Tu Kingdom, he also knew this jade seal and Yu Chixi.

Her portrait is a share for all of them who are officials.

I was just worried that I might offend accidentally that day.

"Little princess, you are serious."

The prefect raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Look, how about I take you in and have a cup of tea?"

"I don't dare to drink your tea, let's just say it here."

Yuchi Xi raised his eyebrows, "Tell me, when did my father say that he no longer cares about the people of the Earth Kingdom?"

"Tell me, where did you use the money my father allocated?"

"Go and bring the account book to me."

"This..." The prefect felt guilty!

Where does he have a ledger of expenditures?

The money is still in his house!

In his private vault!
