As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 299
"My lord, this child is the little beggar I saw at the inn!" The subordinate behind him spoke at the right time.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to grab the boy's neck, and threatened in a low voice, "Do you still dare to bargain? Say it quickly, believe it or not, I will kill you!"

The boy desperately wanted to take his big hand off but remained indifferent, his face turned red.

"Qin Yi!" Seeing that he was really out of breath, Lin Yin rushed to stop him. He thought that his temper was already very bad. Compared with Qin Yi, he could be said to be easy to talk to.

"I said, I said," the little beggar said with a blushing face, squeezing out a voice from his throat.

"Don't play tricks!" Qin Yi snorted coldly, let go of his neck, and warned in a low voice.

"Cough cough." The little beggar coughed softly, afraid of being discovered, then looked at Qin Yi timidly, "He called you, sir, you are from the imperial court!?"

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect this kid to be quite clever, Qin Yi didn't answer, and was about to urge him to speak quickly, but he didn't expect that the little beggar was like a loach, and he was ready to run away when he saw an opening.

Lin Yin quickly grabbed the boy back with a quick glance, and the little beggar struggled desperately, "You are from the imperial court, and there are no good people in the imperial court! Let me go!"

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows, reached out to hold the boy's neck, and said in a deep voice, "Boy, there are good people and bad people everywhere. If you don't say anything, the bad people will cover the sky with their hands."

Hearing this, the little beggar gradually calmed down, and murmured, "You... are you really here to help us?"

Lin Yin looked down at him, "It's true, so, can you tell us who you are first, and what happened?"

The little beggar said in a low voice, "My name is Chen Ergou, and I live in Jianghuai City. Both my father and mother are dead. I also have a younger sister who lives in my uncle's house. Life is hard. It coincides with the drought this year. There was no grain harvest, and many people starved to death."

Chen Ergou said, tears flashed in his eyes, Qin Yi also sent his neck, listening to his words in silence.

"Uncle and aunt drove us out, and I took my sister to beg everywhere. The adults said that if we persisted for a while, the relief food from the court would come. We just begged day after day, waiting day after day. on."

The boy's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he had returned to the dark days. "There are people starving to death on the street every day, and many people choose to seek livelihood elsewhere. My sister is still young, so we can't go far. Finally, one day, the relief food from the court comes!" Chen Er said. The dog's eyes lit up, "The lord is dressed in a gorgeous robe and has a face like a crown of jade. He set up tents on the long street to give away porridge, and told us that the imperial court will not give up on us. The emperor has sent people to provide relief! It's a pity that we haven't seen each other for a long time. Long, in just three days, that adult never appeared again, the porridge sheds on the long street were also removed, and even the government began to arrest homeless victims and beggars and lock them up in this dilapidated temple. Send someone to guard!"

Chen Ergou looked at the quiet ruined temple with hatred on his face, and spoke word by word.

"You said that the people locked up here are victims of disasters?" Lin Yin frowned, feeling astonished.

"Yes, my sister and I are inside. Many people will starve to death every day, and the dead will be carried away. I am so hungry, I crawled out of the hole and went to the city to find some food for my sister. , was about to leave and look for something to eat when I found you!"

Chen Ergou's eyes were burning, and following his gaze, several people found a hole covered by weeds.

"These beasts!" Several people couldn't help shouting, no wonder the city is orderly, with a look of peace and prosperity, it turns out that the real victims of the disaster have been locked up, and the people left in the city are all rich and powerful people !

"Save people first." Qin Yi's eyes sank, and he looked at the guarding soldiers. If it was as Chen Ergou said, someone would die if there was any delay.

"No! We are alone and weak now. The most urgent thing is to find Shen Zhe. He has relief food in his hands. If I guessed correctly, the adult Ergou said should be Shen Zhe. It's just that his assassination is very strange. I'm afraid we can't get rid of this assassin. related."

Lin Yin spoke out.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the subordinate behind him said, "This subordinate is trying to find Mr. Shen, but there is no news! This subordinate is going to investigate the governor's mansion at night!"

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes, looked at the young man in front of him, and said to the ruined temple, "Are you willing to help them?"

The boy's eyes were shining, and he nodded desperately, "I am willing!"

"Okay." Qin Yi smiled and rubbed his hair, "Go back with me first!"

A group of people left quietly.

In the next few days, Qin Yi packed delicious food and asked Chen Ergou to sneak in through the hole behind the temple, and distributed it to the people, and told them to keep quiet and obey the arrangement if they wanted to survive.

"Lord Qin, my subordinates have discovered that the Governor's Mansion is not as simple as it appears on the surface. It looks simple, but in fact, the wives and daughters in his backyard are all rich and luxurious. Also, Lord Shen Zhe is in the Governor's Mansion Rehabilitation, but it is more like being imprisoned, and the door is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to approach."

The subordinates sent to investigate reported in a low voice.

"Lu Zhongsheng" Qin Yi murmured in a low voice.

"Qin Yi, what should we do now? It seems that the governor has corrupted all the food and grass for disaster relief. He is really reckless and lawless! I have already written a secret letter to His Majesty!" Lin Yin was furious and greedy for food and grass for disaster relief, causing the victims to starve to death Everywhere, it is a heinous crime!

Qin Yi stroked the tea set, and slowly narrowed his eyes, "Naturally, we must first find out where he hides all the money and find evidence of his greed for ink."

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" Several people took orders to leave.

At this moment, in the city of Kyoto.

Gu Jingyao frowned, looked at Lin Yinyi's secret letter, narrowed his eyes slowly, wishing he could send someone to kill Ding Chengren immediately.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Shen, please see me!" The chief eunuch walked in quickly, watching the angry Gu Jingyao speak cautiously.

"Xuan!" Gu Jingyao held back his anger.

Soon, Shen Zishan walked in with his head bowed, and bowed to salute, "The old minister greets His Majesty!"

"Shen Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite." Gu Jingyao said, "Look at this."

Passed the secret letter over, Shen Zishan read it at a glance, frowned, knelt down and said, "I beg your Majesty to save the dog's life!"

Gu Jingyao sighed slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Shen Aiqing, I will let someone bring Shen Zhe back to the capital safe and sound."

They dared to detain even the disaster relief personnel of the imperial court, this Lu Zhongsheng and Ding Chengren are really lawless!
"Your Majesty, I'm here for some important business. Someone is secretly recruiting troops in Beijing to make weapons!" Shen Zishan cupped his hands and saluted, "I have already sent someone to investigate, but this person is very careful and has not received any definite information yet."

"Recruiting troops?" Gu Jingyao snorted softly and sneered, "It seems that this fox's tail can't be hidden after all, so keep an eye on it first, and don't act rashly."

Shen Zishan bowed and resigned, with many worries and secret worries.
