Chapter 96
The guards brought the medicine, and the city lord hurriedly ordered those who could still move to decoct the medicine.

This is the case in his house, and it is even more difficult to say in other wealthy businessmen's houses.

Yun Hongliang made a count, and there are less than 100 people who can go out now.

This kind of people can't protect the people in the city at all, and it seems that they can only take care of the people in the city lord's mansion first.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sudden knock on the door made everyone in the yard shiver in fright. No matter men or women, they hurriedly picked up the weapons around them and put on a desperate look.

Yun Hongliang took a deep breath, he didn't open the door hastily, and asked loudly:

"Who?"

"City Lord, it's me, Princess Ming."

As soon as these words fell, everyone was stunned. How dare Princess Ming come out at this time?
Isn't she afraid of accidents?

Although she must have expert protection around her, she is also too courageous.

"City Lord, how is your mansion doing now? Are there many poisoned people?"

Mu Yiyi glanced at the guarded people in the yard, and said helplessly.

"There are also people who are poisoned in our mansion, but there are not many people who are poisoned. I have given them the antidote."

"The antidote? Princess, do you have an antidote?"

The city lord looked at Mu Yiyi in surprise, he hadn't heard that Princess Ming knew medical skills?

"I'll check their pulse first."

The city lord looked at Mu Yiyi suspiciously. He waved and led Mu Yiyi to the room behind him.

It is a coma, a person who has not woken up for a while.

There are thirty or forty people in this room.

Mu Yiyi took a few pulses, frowning, all of them were a kind of drug, colorless and odorless, hard to detect.

It should be down into the well, so the concentration is not high. Even if these people don't take the antidote, they can wake up tomorrow morning.

But you can do a lot in one night.

For example, bandits come in, enough to kill everyone.

Sometimes, it doesn't matter how powerful the poison is, even the most common drug can kill people.

"Rinse these with water and let them consume."

Mu Yiyi took out a pack of medicinal powder and handed it to the city lord.

"A cup of tea time and they can fully recover."

"I guess the bandits are coming soon?"

"I haven't entered the city yet, but someone attacked the city wall and killed two people."

Sure enough, someone has come, it should be a spy.

"How many people can we gather here?"

Mu Yiyi frowned, there must be many people coming tonight.

Poison first, then kill, and don't even care about people entering the city, what does this black sunflower want to do?
"More than 1000 people."

"This still needs to include the nursing homes of each family. Our City Lord's Mansion has less than 500 people."

Is 1000 people enough?

Mu Yiyi already had a calculation in her heart, didn't they use poison?
Then use poison yourself to see whose poison is more powerful.

In the meeting hall, everyone gathered together, and my grandfather was also there.

"Empty city plan?"

Everyone disagreed with Mu Yiyi's proposal.

"As long as they enter the city, we may not be able to control them."

The city lord disagreed, and Mu Yiyi smiled:
"I'm just talking about opening a city gate."

"And, only leave them a mile from the gate of the city."

They can't go up the mountain, so they can only seize this opportunity.

"At the east gate, there are twelve torches along the way. We put poison in the torches. As long as they come in for more than half a cup of tea, they will be poisoned."

"We wear special masks, so we can't be affected by the poison, but they move slowly. If we can't win this way, then there is no need to guard Yuncheng."

Slow?

This……

The eyes of the city lord lit up, as Mu Yiyi said, if the bandits were really poisoned, they would definitely not be their opponents.

"Besides, only one city gate is opened, even if they are not poisoned, we can ambush them in advance, and we can catch them by surprise."

The city lord nodded in agreement and did not refute.

……

The capital city, King Ming's Mansion.

"What, bandits are rampant over there in Yuncheng, and the princess won't come back for a while?"

King Ming was shocked when he received the news.

"My lord, there is a bandit named Hei Kui on Heifeng Mountain over there. He is ruthless and has gathered many refugees. He has robbed Yuncheng several times."

The dark guard told the story of Yuncheng, and King Ming was secretly startled when he heard it.

The little Yuncheng is in such a mess, what about the capital in the future?

No, it must be resolved immediately.

"The king will enter the palace now."

At this time in the palace, the emperor was furious when he heard the report.

"Thirty cities, thirty cities have been messed up."

The emperor threw the memorial on Mu Shangshu's face, Du Shilang from the household department was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"Du Ming, you are talking to me, where has all the money in the treasury gone?"

"What about the food reserves? Huh? There are food reserves prepared every year. You told me that they were eaten by rats?"

If the people can't get enough to eat, it is definitely not enough to rely on officials to give porridge.

When the news came, the emperor immediately decided to provide disaster relief.

Can……

After checking the national treasury, there are less than 300 million taels of silver that can be moved.

The emperor was furious and sent someone to check the accounts.

But the premise is to bring food relief first, right?

As a result, there is not even a third of the grain reserves.

Most of the granaries are actually empty.

The emperor immediately wanted to cut Du Ming off, but Mu Shangshu suggested that doing it would be useless, and that it would be useless to check the accounts first.

But before the accounts were checked, it was reported that refugees from all over the country colluded with bandits to loot the people.

The emperor was so angry that he almost fainted, and summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, King Ming is here."

Eunuch Bao whispered, the emperor took a deep breath, he also wanted to hear King Ming's opinion.

"Minger."

Seeing his favorite son come in, the emperor's face softened a little, he pointed to the memorial on the table, and sighed:
"What do you think?"

"Father, bandits are rampant in the south, and I am willing to lead people there to quell the chaos."

King Ming glanced at it, and the emperor frowned:
"Now the capital is also in chaos, you can't leave for the time being."

The capital also needs people to sit in town.

And King Ming's poison has not been completely unraveled, and he can't take any risks.

"Father, only when the sons and ministers go there and calm down in person can we show the majesty of my royal family."

"Nowadays, refugees from all over the world are rioting. If we can't suppress it with thunder, I'm afraid they will become more and more presumptuous."

Ming Wang looked indifferent, but his tone was a bit more aggressive and decisive.

"Oh? I wonder what your plans are, Ming'er?"

None of these ministers has the courage of King Ming.

"Father, my son intends to persuade them to surrender first, and if they don't listen, just subdue them!"

It is indeed feasible to do the ceremony first and then the soldiers.

"Father, although there are bandits here, most of them are refugees who don't have enough to eat, and they can't be beaten as soon as they come up."

Suppress them as soon as they come up, and directly deny people a way to live, and the resistance of the refugees will definitely become stronger.

King Ming thought very carefully, the emperor looked at the minister and asked:

"Do you have a better idea?"

How dare all the ministers say anything at this time?
