Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 189 Scared away

After such a toss, Zhao Jingyun managed to recover from the surprise.

He looked at the faces in front of him, only the Zhao family and Mrs. Song from the sixteen households were left to talk with them, and Huai Guang and Ding Rong were guarding the door, not afraid of being overheard.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jingyun said: "There is no one else here, so I will tell you about the Min County."

Mr. Song stroked his beard, while Zhao Xueli, Mrs. Yang and the others listened quietly.

Zhao Jingyun's move is to treat the sixteen households as his own.

"That Sui Ji, that is, Wang Zhen from 'Fuji', did not die from taking the poison before, but after a long time, the poison still took effect. Now he is seriously ill and can't speak anymore. I'm afraid he won't be able to last for a few days."

"But it doesn't matter," Zhao Jingyun said, "The manager of 'Fu Ji' has recognized Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen's death will not change the case. On the contrary, it will also be beneficial to you."

Zhao Luoyang pretended to be Wang Zhen. After Wang Zhen died, fewer people would know about it, and Zhao Luoyang would be safer.

Mr. Song said: "The Qin family..."

Zhao Jingyun said: "Qin Tongju dare not say anything, otherwise the imperial court will not spare him this time. Qin Tongjuan knew about Sun Ji's activities in Taozhou and Min County in the past few years. He did not report to the imperial court in time. The responsibility for dereliction of duty, if he did not take the initiative to arrest Sun Ji, can be regarded as Sun Ji's party. If he said that he was forced to send troops to arrest Sun Ji this time, he would be seeking his own death."

Zhao Xueli nodded. They knew that Mr. Zhao would hide the matter from Sister Luo before, and now they have come to a conclusion.

Grandpa Song said at this time: "After we moved to Taozhou, I heard that the soldiers burned down a lot of granaries, and the price of rice is very expensive now."

Zhao Jingyun sighed: "People from Sunji took advantage of the chaos and wanted to burn the evidence, and several granaries were burned. I reported this to the imperial court early in the morning, and asked the imperial court to allocate some grain, so that the immigrants can at least survive this winter."

Those grains were originally prepared by the imperial court for the relocated people. After the relocated people got their citizenship, they should be put down by human hair. Sun Ji planned to greedy most of them from the beginning.Now that Sun Ji has been taken, the food is still not kept.

In fact, Zhao Jingyun is not very sure that the imperial court will provide relief to Taozhou again. The imperial court will definitely provide assistance, but how much will be provided, and when will the rice and grain be delivered?

The difference is too great, and many people will die because of it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jingyun glanced at Xiao Yu calmly. Fortunately, the prince has already started to deal with this matter, and someone in the court will supervise this case.Let the people of Taozhou get life-saving food as soon as possible.

"I also heard that the price of rice in Taozhou is high. I came back to Taozhou this time to rectify this matter. Those who hoard rice grains and try to cheat the resettlers of money will be severely punished and will never be tolerated. .”

Mrs. Yang heard Mr. Zhao say this, and thought of the expensive food in the city that would fly to the sky, if the price of rice can be lowered and the relief food can be obtained, what else is there to say?For them right now, this is the best news.

Grandpa Song nodded and said, "Will someone save Sun Ji?"

"Sun Ji naturally wants to," Zhao Jingyun said, "After entering the prison, no matter how interrogated, Sun Ji will not open his mouth. He just wants to wait for a turnaround, but that is wishful thinking."

Zhao Jingyun was sure that Sun Jihui would try to get someone to send a letter to the Feng family, and wanted to ask the Queen Mother and the Feng family to save his life.

Before he returned to Taozhou, he went to see Sun Ji, and Sun Ji had a talk with him.

He can't say that here.

What Sun Ji meant was that he also wanted to be a good official, but the military funds allocated by the imperial court every year were limited, and it was not up to him to decide who would give it to whom.

He doesn't want money, and the higher-ups will also ask for money. If you don't make filial piety, Taozhou will get nothing.

If you want to win a battle, you can't live without these things.

Sun Ji stared at him meaningfully: "I used to be the same as you, otherwise I wouldn't go to Prince Yu's Mansion, unfortunately... After I arrived in Taozhou, I realized that some things are useless to have a passion for some things. When you are given food, but not military funds, and you are still allowed to fight, you will understand everything."

"If not, why did the Wuwei army lose the battle? Why did Prince Yu die in battle?"

Zhao Jingyun knew that Sun Ji's words were correct, but he would not do what Sun Ji did. Sun Ji couldn't see what would happen to Taozhou in the future.

Zhao Luoyang stood not far away. Zhao Jingyun looked at the prince of the Wang family several times, and they were always mentioning the court. It seemed that the identity of this prince should not only be the nephew of General Wang.

Without preparation in advance, the best meals that the Zhao family can serve are porridge with beef jerky, and wild vegetable cakes that Mrs. Yang is good at.

The dishes are also very simple. Zhao Xueli went to the market in the city to buy some dried vegetables before, and Mrs. Yang changed the old way of picking and searching, and put a lot of oil to stew.

The oily vegetables were naturally more fragrant than usual, and the greedy Zhao Yuanbao clung to the stove, refusing to move.

Fortunately, when Zhao Xueli went to the city, he bought a few more bowls for eating, otherwise there would not be enough for today.

The food is served on the table one after another.

The table was made by Zhao Xueyi himself out of wood. It looks ugly, but it is durable.

Old lady Yang said with a smile: "When you come back in a few days, the food will definitely not be like this."

Looking at the hot food, Zhao Jingyun felt emotional: "I'm sorry to trouble you, this is already the best. I didn't do anything, but let you entertain me."

Zhao Xueli said: "Master Zhao is too polite to say that."

Zhao Luoyang put the pancake baked by Mrs. Yang on the table. This was the first time they had received guests since they moved here. Although it was a little crude, Mr. Zhao and the prince obviously didn't care.

When the wild vegetable cake was brought up, Wang Gongzi reached out and took one.

Zhao Luoyang was a little curious, this prince really likes to eat wild vegetable pancakes?

Xiao Yu put a piece of cake into his mouth, felt Zhao Luoyang's gaze, and met her gaze.

There are guests at home, and there is no extra place to sit down, so Zhao Luoyang naturally won't serve the table, she just goes back and forth to help serve the meals.

Xiao Yu deliberately sat on the outside, just not far from Zhao Luoyang right now.

"I would also like to thank you for the wild vegetable pancake that someone sent you earlier in the morning. I ate it and it was delicious," Xiao Yu said. "However, it doesn't smell like freshly made ones."

Xiao Yu raised the wild vegetable cake in his hand.

Just as Zhao Luoyang was about to speak, someone picked up the plate containing wild vegetable cakes and handed it to her.

It was the prince.

"Try it too, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Zhao Luoyang was a little dazed, the situation in front of him seemed familiar.

The little mute would also hand her food, and a whole plate in front of her for her to choose.

She picks and chooses, looking for the slightly burnt one to eat.

Xiao Yu said: "This one is burnt."

This word...

Zhao Luoyang was a little dazed, she looked at the prince, how did he know that she likes slightly burnt cakes?
Xiao Yu's eyes were clear, and he looked at her quietly. The corners of his mouth naturally raised, and now there seemed to be a hint of a smile: "Don't you like this kind of food?"

Zhao Luoyang said: "I like it."

As soon as she answered, the plate was passed to her again.

Zhao Luoyang reached out to pick up the wild vegetable cake on it, Xiao Yu put the plate back, and then put a glass of water in front of Zhao Luoyang.

Everything is so logical, as if he has done such a thing many times.

Zhao Luoyang felt more and more strange.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang," Zhao Luoyang said, "There is still something to do in the kitchen, I'll go over and help."

Zhao Luoyang said as he walked out of the house.

Xiao Yu looked at Zhao Luoyang's back.

Isn't she quite courageous?Why did he scare people away after only saying a few words?
