Chapter 151: The Autocratic and Cold Regent King vs. the Sensitive and Mute Coquettish Bag 14
"Watch your mouth. You have no idea what she has been through. What qualifications do you have to judge my discretion? Even if I dote on her a little more, what does it have to do with you?"
Qin Sheng hadn't seen Zhan Nanchusheng so generous for a long time, but to be honest, he really looked like a big cat that was stressed after its secrets were exposed.
Forget it, he was just guessing, and it wasn't him who would suffer in the end.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I was just joking. I came to you tonight to talk about serious business. The mountain in Qing'an was hollowed out. Did you know about this?"
The candlelight was dim, and only Zhan Nanchu knew that his ears were a little hot. He rubbed his ears uncomfortably, and said in a mocking tone,
"Are you talking about the two iron mines?"
Qin Sheng nodded. The two mountains in Qing'an were originally the property left by his mother before her death. In the past few years, he worked hard and with Zhan Nanchu's occasional support, he successfully took back his mother's former property from the Phoenix man.
Before his mother passed away, she left him a map of her own property, which included the iron mine in Qing'an. She had originally planned to cooperate with the imperial court, but she believed the slander of a man at the time, so the mine was taken away by Qingwu.
Those arrogant people in the Qingwu family probably didn't expect that his mother would leave him such a picture before she died.
Now that he was returned with an empty mountain, he had to find Zhan Nanchu to report the news immediately.
Ironware has always been controlled by the imperial court. If it was just a little bit, it would be fine, but that was two mountains. It was not something that the Qingwu family could do to make two mountains disappear silently.
Zhan Nanchu thought back to his plan. Qin Sheng's pursuit was beyond his expectation, because he had intervened in the iron ore matter long ago.
Moreover, judging from Qin Sheng's handling of affairs in recent years, he is a slippery loach. He is most reluctant to interfere in such matters.
He didn't believe that this guy hadn't received any news in advance. His "Dark Spirit" intelligence point, coupled with his own concessions, was about to set up a branch in the northwest.
Today, he obviously weighed the pros and cons and chose to protect himself while testing the depth of the water.
"Go back. I will make the decision myself. There is no benefit in your getting involved in this matter."
Qin Sheng waited until he said this calmly, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell quietly.
The bet was right, he thought to himself.
Half a day before approaching Qingzhou, scattered disaster victims began to appear in the area where the carriage passed, heading towards the capital.
As they got closer to Qingzhou, the number of disaster victims gradually increased. Zhan Nanchu had no choice but to use some of his guards hiding in the dark to protect the two carriages.
As for Qin Sheng, he had found an opportunity to change back into men's clothes two days ago. He originally wanted to tease Man Yue, but Man Yue took the money and didn't even look at him. This incident made him privately doubt his charm for a long time.
Xie Siyuan lifted a corner of the carriage. Although he was not well-received in the palace at first, this was the first time he had seen such a miserable scene.
Especially when the carriage approached the Qingzhou city gate, tens of thousands of disaster victims leaned against the gate in ragged clothes, but the gate was closed, and no one responded no matter how they cried and shouted.
The carriage attracted the attention of the victims along the way. Women holding children chased after the carriage and begged them for food. Their bodies were empty under their thin linen clothes.
Xie Siyuan felt sad and simply lowered the carriage curtain.
Meng Jiao looked at him curiously.
"I thought you would not be able to bear it and would ask the guards to bring food to them."
Xie Siyuan loosened his collar uncomfortably, and his voice was more serious than Zhan Nanchu had ever heard.
"That would really harm them. There are disaster victims everywhere, and they might become targets. But what I don't understand is that the court has clearly issued disaster relief grain, so why is it still like this?"
Meng Jiao bumped Zhan Nanchu with her little body.
"Brother, I say, he is very smart."
Zhan Nanchu curled his lips and pretended to arrange for someone to handle the notification, but in fact he was a little surprised.
There were so many disaster victims that they could only wait outside the city to understand the current situation before making a decision.
If the city gates were opened rashly, the victims would already be resentful because they could not enter the city. If they were allowed to enter as an exception, it would inevitably cause unnecessary casualties.
The prefect of Qingzhou City was called Cao Zhi. After receiving the news, he quickly led his men to open the city gate. As expected, the victims quickly approached after hearing the news. However, since they had not yet reached the end of their rope, they could only stand back in front of the guards under the city and the dozens of cold swords.
Cao Zhi was terrified when he recognized the identity of the person outside the city. Who doesn't know the Regent? And then look at the two people sitting in the carriage, could it be?
"Your humble servant greets the Prince Regent, the Emperor and the Princess. I was not aware of your presence and I apologize for not welcoming you in person."
Meng Jiao raised her eyebrows. This man looked short and fat, but his eyesight was excellent.
But how did he, a minor local official, know their identities?
The nearby victims could not understand what was said, but the Regent and his men did.
Regent, son of the Marquis of Zhenbei,
The hero who pacified the country and the current regent!
They, can they survive?
"No need to be polite. I just want to ask if you have received the relief grain from the court."
Cao Zhi looked very embarrassed and spoke with sorrow.
"Your Majesty, I have received it, but it is far from enough to save all the people."
Xie Siyuan couldn't help but jump off the carriage.
"That's nonsense. Qingzhou's water conservancy has always had problems. Disaster relief grain is supplied every year, and this year's amount is twice as much as in previous years. How could it be this bad? And along the way, I have never seen any porridge distribution area. You are lying!"
The emperor? The person questioning is the current emperor?
Some people in the crowd couldn't help but whisper. Zhan Nanchu and Meng Jiao looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.
This time, he won.
Meng Jiao rubbed her brows helplessly. She had just praised this guy for being smart when he dropped the ball.
Cao Zhi didn't expect that this puppet emperor was so powerful. Shouldn't he and the regent be incompatible?
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. I have provided them with rice porridge and tents for a week, but the remaining food is only enough to keep the people in the city hungry. I can't bear it."
Even Xie Siyuan could see his perfunctory attitude, not to mention Zhan Nanchu, who just wanted to see how the little emperor would react before making a decision.
"Meng Heng, take people to search, Banyue, immediately arrange porridge sheds and tents."
Cao Zhi knelt down tremblingly upon hearing this, but Meng Jiao could sense that this man did not seem to be afraid of being searched by people entering the city.
Not wanting to waste time on such corrupt officials, the disaster victims were clearly eager to join the porridge distribution.
Meng Jiao ignored the looks of others and asked Man Yue to squat in front of her and talk to Cao Zhi.
"Master Cao, where is the food?"
Cao Zhi was speechless. He had heard that the Prince Regent had a younger sister named Princess Changle.
Now it seems that the news is true. The Regent is so jealous that his little girl has no brains. Anyway, the food is not with him, so let them search. Without evidence, they can't hold him responsible.
"My Lord, this subordinate..."
"look up."
