Dressed as the favorite of the villain tyrant

Chapter 229
Hua Xiangying moved her lips, as if she wanted to defend herself, but in the end she chose to shut up.

I don't know when she started, but she actually wanted to defend herself.

It’s weird.

After the meal, Ming Guize personally found their room.

Followed by Liao Wenzhong.

Hua Xiangying followed them out of Liao's mansion, walking on the street, and saw a lot of people's feelings.

"The floods some time ago caught us all by surprise. The crops in the fields were all gone before they could be harvested. This year's harvest can't keep up, and the people can only go hungry..."

As he spoke, Liao Wenzhong couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Hua Xiangying listened, his eyes flickered slightly, and asked: "The food and salaries sent by the court a few times before are not too small, but why there still doesn't seem to be any sign of improvement here?"

Hearing Hua Xiangying's question, some emotion flashed in Liao Wenzhong's eyes, he let out a "squeak" and replied: "The general doesn't know, the rations are indeed not small, but they are not worth the harvest of so many people. Ah, there are at least four or five people in this household, and it is really difficult to satisfy every household."

At this time, an old woman who looked to be 70 or [-] years old suddenly threw a piece of mud soaked in water in the direction of Liao Wenzhong. Liao Wenzhong didn't know martial arts, so he was thrown directly in the face!

That way, it looks so funny.

"What's going on?" Ming Guize asked with a frown.

In fact, both Ming Guize and Hua Xiangying had noticed this point, if they had taken action, Liao Wenzhong would not have become so embarrassed.

But Ming Guize didn't make a move because she thought that Hua Xiangying would make a move, and Hua Xiangying chose to ignore it because she thought that Liao Wenzhong was not simple. The old lady came out suddenly, maybe she could tell them something useful .

"Bold and unreasonable! Dare to rush against the two adults, come! Come quickly!"

"and many more."

Hua Xiangying opened his mouth to stop Liao Wenzhong's possible actions, and exchanged eyes with Ming Guize, and Ming Guize understood what Hua Xiangying meant.

At this time, he looked at Liao Wenzhong with a hint of deep meaning that was not obvious.

Seeing Hua Xiangying walking towards the old woman step by step, Liao Wenzhong seemed a little flustered, and unconsciously clenched his hands.

All of this was seen by Ming Guize who was watching him secretly.

Looking at Liao Wenzhong like this, a trace of coldness flashed in Ming Guize's eyes.

All the food and salaries issued by the imperial court must have gone into Liao Wenzhong's pocket if nothing else happened.

No wonder there is a special granary and treasury in the not-so-large mansion.

"Old man, is there any conflict between you and Master Liao?"

The old lady also saw the extraordinary temperament of Hua Xiangying and Ming Guize, so she concluded that they were not ordinary people. If there were no accidents, they should be the two adults sent by the rumored Zhongjingzhong.

Thinking of this, the old woman looked at Hua Xiangying with tears in her eyes: "My lord, you don't know something. There was a flood a while ago, and all the crops in the field were in trouble. It was fine before, and there are still rations at home. You can listen to it." It is said that the imperial court has issued food and salaries, but we have not seen it for a long time, and just half a month ago, this corrupt official said that he would sell food at three times the usual price! If he can't pay, he will send his daughter and son Send it to the Liao Mansion to be a cow or a horse to pay off the debt!"

Listening, Hua Xiangying's brows gradually wrinkled.

But this is not over yet, the old woman continued: "The family can't open the pot anymore. The old man in our family used to join the army. After being injured, he would come to his hometown, but it also caused the root cause of the disease. He often couldn't walk because of leg pain. Lu, now the whole family relies on me, an old woman, to find food, and I have been hungry for two days!"

Hua Xiangying turned her head and looked at Liao Wenzhong.

"Master Liao, do you have anything else to say?"

Liao Wenzhong looked innocent, and hastily explained: "General Hua, I have been wronged! Your officer..."

"General Hua?"

Before Liao Wenzhong finished speaking, the old lady looked at Hua Xiangying.

Her eyes were a little blurry, but she seemed to want to confirm something.

"Old man, do you know me?"

"You, are you a descendant of General Hua?"

When Hua Xiangying heard the words "Old General Hua", she immediately regained her spirits, looked at the old woman seriously, and said, "I am, old man, do you know my father?"

"My old man used to be a veteran who fought with the Hua family, and he was favored by General Hua, so when he heard the name of the young general, he was a little excited."

Veterans who used to follow General Hua, then, do they have any understanding of what happened back then?
Although Hua Xiangying was very curious and wanted to know, she also knew that the more important thing right now was to settle Liao Wenzhong's matter.

"Old man, don't worry, His Highness will definitely make decisions for you."

Ming Guize: "..."

That's true, but...

Ming Guize glanced sideways at Liao Wenzhong.

"In this case, then go back to the Liao Mansion first and deal with these matters first."

Hua Xiangying nodded and responded.

Then, she turned her head and looked at the old woman: "Old woman, you go back first, after this matter is settled, I still have something to ask your husband."

Hearing what Hua Xiangying said, the old lady nodded repeatedly, as if she saw hope in a flash.

All the way back to the Liao Mansion, Yun Yuefeng and Xiaoyun, who had heard the news in advance, were also a little surprised.

It turned out that it was Liao Wenzhong who did it secretly when he just went out to inspect.

Yun Yuefeng also didn't expect Liao Wenzhong to be so stupid. He knew they would come here, but he didn't prepare in advance, and dared to take Ming Guize and Hua Xiangying to the street for inspection.

It really is a model that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

After returning to the Liao Mansion, the first thing Hua Xiangying did was to order his servants to open a warehouse to release food.

She handed over this matter to Yun Yuefeng and Xiaoyun, while she went to the main hall with Ming Guize.

Looking at Liao Wenzhong who was kneeling in the main hall, he frowned slightly.

"His Royal Highness the Regent, General Hua, I am also confused for a while, and I am obsessed with ghosts for a while, please forgive the sins of the Regent King and General Hua, please forgive me!"

"I didn't say I'm going to kill you. I can't die right now." Ming Guize said lightly, "As for your life and death, it is up to the emperor to decide. This king will not interfere with this. As for your criminal evidence, it will also be included. Hand it over to Brother Huang, you should save your energy now and beg for mercy at that time."

"Your Highness the Regent, I was really confused for a moment. Your lord has a lot, so let me spare you this time!"
