Chapter 333 Raising Food
Pei Enqiong's face became colder as he spoke, "There is no money, no food, and their group is targeting the people again, collecting taxes, food and soldiers, and the people can't survive."

Tang Xi could tell that she was really angry and disappointed, accompanied by a deep sense of powerlessness.As a woman, she is obviously as talented as a man, but she can only be a small policeman in Dali Temple, watching Dayu gradually degenerate.

After being silent for a long time, Pei Enqiong also realized that he was a little out of control, restrained his emotions, and returned to his usual indifferent appearance. He looked at Tang Xi and said, "What do you want to do?"

Since she asked about this, she must have an idea of ​​what to do.

Tang Xi felt that Pei Enqiong really understood her, so he gave her an appreciative look, and said, "You find a way to help me tell my elder brother, Yu Min's people have been following my elder brother, I can't get close to him."

This is not difficult to do.

"What words?" Pei Enqiong asked.

"Raise food." Tang Xi said.

"Raising food?" Pei Enqiong stared at her, "For General Ning Yuan?"

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, and admitted frankly, "Yes."

Similar to the situation in Shangjing City, Jian Chijin was also short of food.

In the past few years, Dayu has experienced frequent droughts and floods and locust disasters, and has fought against Beidi for more than ten years. The successive emperors are not wise masters. The taxes are heavy, and the people are not rich.

Now it's spring again, and most of the food that the common people had stored for the winter last year has been eaten up, and even if there is not much left, they still have to save the seeds for spring planting, even if Jian Chijin pays a big price, they still can't buy much.

But the Earl of Xianchang’s Mansion is different. Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, and the Tang family’s industries in Jiangnan are everywhere. It is not impossible to prepare rations for an army of 10,000+.

"Even if it is raised, how can you give it to him? Yu Min is not just a display."

Tang Xi blinked at her, and said, "You'll know when the time comes."

Pei Enqiong knew that she must have thought of a perfect plan, so she didn't ask too much.

Looking at the glowing red silver charcoal burning in the brazier, after a long time, Pei Enqiong raised his eyes, showing some hesitation in his eyes.

Tang Xi looked at her and said with a smile, "Say something straight."

Pei Enqiong bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and decided to ask, "Have you heard about the Chi family recently?"

Tang Xi shook his head, looked at her with an ominous premonition, "What happened to the Chi family?"

"Chi Jingqu from the second room of the Chi family revealed that Zuodu Yushi had private correspondence with General Ning Yuan. Now everyone in the Chi family, except the second room, is locked in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and will be executed in three days."

"Chi Jinshuang was locked in too?"

Chi Jinshuang was the first friend she made.

"Correct."

Tang Xi squinted his eyes, and subconsciously tapped the milky white teacup on his fingertips. The crisp sound was especially clear in the silent room.

"Department of punishment?"

Pei Enqiong looked at her and nodded.

Tang Xi put down the teacup, stood up and walked out.

Pei Enqiong then got up and grabbed her sleeve, "Are you going to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Tang Xi looked back and gave a soft "hmm".Not to mention that she didn't want to see Chi Jinshuang die, but based on the relationship between Jian Chijin and Chi Jingwen, he probably didn't want to see his brother be beheaded three days later.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment belongs to Yu Min. If you go alone, it is tantamount to going into the mouth of a tiger." Pei Enqiong looked cautious, let go of her sleeves, turned around and picked up her sword from the table, "You and I go together."
