What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 79

Go back to Luanjia and drive back to the palace.

Along the way, the old emperor couldn't get rid of those eyes.

"Say, Liufu, why do they seem unhappy?"

Liufu was also puzzled: "It shouldn't be, the emperor personally sent things out of the city, they should be very happy."

"Several people opened their mouths, as if they had something to say," said the old emperor thoughtfully.

"This slave didn't see it, I think you misread it."

"maybe"

-

Outside the city, the emperor's carriage left.

Xie Chenke ordered his subordinates to bring a basket of white flour steamed buns and four fat roast chickens, and reward them to the 'activists' just now in front of everyone.

"Rewards, let's eat"

Surprised and delighted, several people rushed forward like a hungry wolf.

There was less than half a stick of incense, not even steamed bread crumbs and chicken bones left.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness"

The confidant eunuch Baoying turned his nostrils to the sky: "Did you see that? This is a reward for our Highness. You don't fart a single fart. You don't deserve to eat it at all."

Several half-centenarians leaning against dead trees on the side of the road were dying.

"My lord, we...we really don't have the strength..."

Baoying snorted coldly, turned his head and smiled at His Highness: "Master, what shall we do next?"

Xie Chenke didn't even look at these people, he narrowed his eyes and gave orders leisurely.

"Put everything away and distribute it later"

All the people lying on the side of the road, lying on the ground and lying on the ground, their heads stood up instantly, and their eyes became more desperate.

"Your Highness, don't you send it now?"

"Master Qingtian, our old man is almost unable to hold on, he hasn't eaten for three days"

"My lord, my child really has nothing to eat and has no energy to cry. You can't go on like this"

Xie Chenke turned his head and entered the tent as if he didn't hear anything.

Baoying stayed behind to respond to these people.

"Don't worry, it will be sent, what are you in a hurry for?"

"My lord!" A woman with disheveled hair rushed forward with all her strength.

"You only said to post it, but when did you post it?"

"The man in my family was originally an accountant, and I also learned some arithmetic. There are only a few thousand victims left outside the city, and eighty shi of grain is enough to eat for a day. Even if they eat for a month, it is less than three thousand shi. What's more, I'm afraid it's not even half of the porridge."

"May I ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince, where did the relief food allocated by the emperor go? Could it be the porridge?"

The woman was emaciated, with sunken eye sockets.

The clothes are thin, and the upright body is precarious, like a dead branch whose roots have been pulled out.

Baoying twisted her neck around and squealed.

"Where did this crazy woman come from, come here, hurry up and arrest her!"

"Our Highness has always kept the people in his heart, how can we allow you to sow dissension?"

The guards dressed in civilian clothes rushed forward and took the woman away. The woman screamed miserably, saying that I should return my child, retribution, and a terrible death.

It was quickly gagged.

The autumn wind blows the fallen leaves, and finally there is only a dead silence.

The next day, the second prince opened a warehouse to release grain.

Snow-white steamed buns, fragrant rice, steaming corn porridge, roast chicken and eggs.

"What are you doing in a daze? Come and eat, folks"

Xie Chenke wore the clothes of ordinary people, rolled up his sleeves, held a long-handled spoon, and skillfully tied an apron around his waist, and personally filled each bowl with food.

"It doesn't matter if you can't come, I will personally send it to the parents and folks later"

People were completely boiling, and tried their last bit of strength to climb to the dining table, some with bowls, some with their hands.

Some people cried out when the delicious rice came into their mouths.

"Open your eyes, I can finally eat dry food again!"

Finally, it is not porridge but dry rice.

They had a good meal.

The second day is still full of food, and the third day is also the same. Everyone thinks that the sky is open, but it is a pity...

"This meal doesn't feel right, my stomach...vomit..."

The first person vomited blood and died, the second, and then the third...

In just a few days, the hungry people experienced ups and downs.

This time the 'sickness' was much more serious than before, and within three or four days, most of them died, leaving only 2000 people.

On September [-]th, the sky was overcast, and Xie Chenyu drove a carriage to the outside of the city.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that his carriage stopped at the place where he rescued the baby last time.

Today is different from the past, there are no children here, and even women are rare.

Only some skinny old men in their fifties and sixties were left half dead by the roadside.

They were as thin as holes, and they stopped surrounding the carriage when they saw it.

He only glanced at the carriage with eyes covered in gray mist, and then slowly closed them again.

Xie Chenyu could see clearly that it was the despair of the abyss.

"Second brother, why are there only these people left?"

"It's good if there are fewer people. If there are fewer people, wouldn't it be easy to save?"

Xie Chenke smiled.

Xie Chenyu clenched his fists and hid them in his sleeves, pretending to be relaxed.

"That's right, the rest of these things are better left to my younger brother, I know how to deal with the father when the emperor comes"

"Well, you just say that there is an epidemic here, and I am also infected. Be careful and finish it quickly. I don't want to wait any longer."

"okay"

Xie Chenke drove away, and Xie Chenyu walked on the side of the road, looking over one person after another.

"Master, I remember your son was there?"

"died"

"My eldest sister, where is your three-year-old son?"

"sick and dead"

His face turned from red to blue, and then to yellow, as if a layer of wax had been poured on it, and Xie Chenyu's hand in his sleeve was almost broken.

Sending away a group of young people, the remaining nearly tens of thousands of people are left now?
His figure swayed slightly, Xie Chenyu supported the tree on the side of the road to stand firm, and pounded on the tree trunk with his hands, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his fingers were soon dripping with blood.

"Where's the corpse?"

"Every night from Haishi to Choushi, a total of three hours, they are transported to the suburbs by bullock carts. There are some mass graves, and some in the deep mountains. There are many wild wolves, dogs and vultures there. I'm afraid..."

It was a young guard named Lu who spoke.

Xie Chenyu discovered Miao Zi from the nursing home of the palace last month. He is 16 years old. His body is as strong as a tiger, but his fists and feet are flexible. He can be called a genius in martial arts.

He came to the capital from a refugee at the age of nine. He used to be a servant, but later he was sent to a nursing home with some fists and feet. After being discovered by Xie Chenyu, he took him with him, and he planned to teach some real kung fu to be careful.

"Do you know why?"

"I don't know. It's not arsenic anyway. These people get sick very quickly, and they die within two or three days."

Guard Lu was serious.

Xie Chenyu didn't ask any more questions, but only ordered to keep watching, then turned around and staggered away.

-

On the first day of taking over the hungry people, the emperor came outside the city again.

At that time, Xie Chenyu was personally feeding the hungry people with rice, steamed buns, white noodles, and porridge made with various dried fruits.

Xie Chenyu was clumsy with hands and feet, filled a bowl with half a bowl, but was enthusiastic.

The servants refused to let go after several times of persuasion, so they insisted on doing it themselves.

The old emperor was very pleased: "My son has grown up"

Xie Chenyu explained the situation of the 'epidemic' and knelt down to the old emperor himself.

"Father still hasten to leave, the emperor's elder brother has fallen ill and is resting in the mansion, and the son is taking his place temporarily"

"What kind of disease, can there be medicinal materials and prescriptions?"

The old emperor subconsciously took a few steps back, leaving a long distance.
