Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 638

Liu Yunxiang sized up the girl, but couldn't remember for a moment.

"That day at the jewelry store, I wanted to buy a jade hairpin for my mother. My sister saw that it was not enough for me, so she asked me for twelve taels less." The girl said a little excitedly.

Liu Yunxiang suddenly remembered, "It's you."

The girl nodded hurriedly, "Sister, I finally saved enough money, I came to the city to pay you back today, I..."

She folded her purse, remembered something, and couldn't help but turn blue, "But I...lost my money again."

"Lost it?" Dahei yelled loudly, "Didn't you just say it was stolen?"

"How can I have!"

"With so many of us, not a single deaf person can hear clearly."

The other officers hurriedly nodded to prove that they were not deaf, and heard what the girl said.

"Otherwise we wouldn't have chased those kids, but it turned out that we caught up with them, but you helped them escape and injured one of our brothers!"

Dahei said and pointed to an official servant whose face was half blue.

"Speak clearly, I wasn't beaten by her, I just fell!"

Someone couldn't help laughing: "I wouldn't admit it, but I was beaten black and blue by a little girl!"

"Second Chen, tell me more?"

"Don't talk, don't talk, anyway, all of us have seen it."

The topic went awry, Dahei let out a drink, stopped the other officials from playing around, and then looked at Liu Yunxiang.

"Princess, do you know her?"

"Uh, I guess we know each other."

Dahei snorted, and said: "She said that her money was robbed by a group of little beggars. We chased for three streets before catching up with the group of little beggars. We found that they were from the Shannian Camp and were about to bring them back to the government. She seemed to go crazy, messed us up, and took the opportunity to let the group of children go."

"Isn't it just that they stole money, and they are still young, but you insist on severe punishment, and even said that they may be beheaded." The girl shouted.

Dahei frowned, "The people in the Shannian camp are already guilty of crimes. If they commit a crime again, they will be punished severely according to the law. They will be beheaded when they reach the age of 12."

"It's not fair at all!"

"Miss, be careful what you say, this is the law of Darong, there is no doubt about it!"

"Can……"

Liu Yunxiang raised his hand, signaling the girl to stop talking.

"Dahei, this girl's money, she said she lost it, maybe she lost it."

"princess!"

"Well, it's just a bunch of kids after all."

Seeing that Dahei left with the official, the girl was relieved.

"Sister Bodhisattva, I want to thank you this time, it's just the ten taels of silver..."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "The jewelry store gave you the ten taels of silver cheaply, so you don't have to return it to me."

"I still have to pay it back."

"You, you are so sincere, you really don't need to pay it back, because that jade hairpin sold you 140 taels and earned it."

"is it?"

"Yes, and earn a lot."

After hearing what Liu Yunxiang said, the girl was relieved.

"By the way, that dark-looking one just now called you Princess?"

"Well, I am Princess Zhenbei."

The girl wowed, "So there are good people in the royal family."

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly hissed, "You girl, why don't you know what to say."

If someone overhears it, don't expect catastrophe.

The girl stuck out her tongue, "The princess is a good person anyway."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Xi'er, sister can just call me Xi'er."

Liu Yunxiang saw that her hair was a little messy, and guessed it was messed up during the fight with the officer just now, she stepped forward to help her straighten it up, and then said with a smile: "Xi'er, then we will see you by fate."

"Sister is so beautiful and gentle, we will definitely see you again."

"it is good."

Looking at the back of Xi'er bouncing away, Liu Yunxiang had a premonition that they would really meet again.

The fire in the Shannian camp has been extinguished, and officers and soldiers are saving lives inside.

Although Liu Yunxiang expected that the scene would be tragic, when he arrived at the scene, he was still so shocked that he gasped.

Burnt corpses were carried out one after another, those who were burned and mourned, those who lost their loved ones were mourning, not because of the sound of houses collapsing, splashing sparks soaring into the sky.

After the narrow escape last night, the surviving people gathered together, shivering, panicking and knowing their mistakes, hungry and cold.

"We want food!"

"We want clothes!"

"We want a house!"

"We're going to live!"

At first, it was just someone shouting in a low voice, but soon these voices came together, and people's various emotions turned into anger.

"The imperial court is going to kill us!"

"But what sin do we have, we are human too!"

"We are also citizens of Great Glory!"

The officers and soldiers surrounded them and scolded them not to shout. A young leader was dragged out and beaten severely.

But it didn't scare others, but more people stood up.

The scene suddenly became chaotic. Seeing this, Zijin quickly escorted Liu Yunxiang to the high platform not far away.

Yan Mu and many officials were there, discussing countermeasures.

Liu Yunxiang went up to see Yan Mu sitting on the fence of the high platform with his legs crossed, holding a dry grass branch in his mouth, looking at the people below boredly.

While others were discussing intensely, some were blushing, some were eccentric, and some were so angry that they jumped up.

"The people in the Ministry of Industry are not gods, and the treasury does not give money, so how can we have the money to repair these houses!"

"The rebellion in Nanzhou has just been suppressed. How can the treasury have any surplus money for your Ministry of Industry! Besides, your Jingzhao Mansion is responsible for the security of the capital. How could this Shannian camp catch fire and burn down half of the houses!"

"Our Jingzhao Mansion is responsible for law and order, but fire prevention has always been a matter of military inspections. If you want to be held accountable, you should ask the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. Don't pick up honest bullies."

"Everything that the camp in the suburbs of Beijing handles is a big event that can shake the country. This kindness camp is not under our control."

"If we really want to pursue responsibility, the Ministry of Household Affairs should bear the brunt. Why not give food to Shannian Camp."

"We are wronged, the treasury does not allocate money, how can we have money to buy food?"

After turning around and arriving at the national treasury again, the Ministry of Household Affairs took a look at Yan Mu, and straightened his neck, "Anyway, we have no money."

Everyone pushed me and pushed you, but no one stood up and took responsibility.

Liu Yunxiang went to Yan Mu's place and gave him the food box.

Yan Mu pulled her to sit down, took out a big pancake with meat in it from the food box, and ate it.

"Slow down." Liu Yunxiang hurriedly took out the teapot again and poured a cup of hot tea, "Fortunately, when I came here, I guessed that there was nothing here, so I bought a hot tea from the tea shed in front."

Yan Mu drank a cup and said, "It's not that there is nothing, the northwest wind is enough."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Then you are still so hungry?"

"What you sent, you have to eat it to death."

Liu Yunxiang noticed the sudden silence in the shed, looked up and found that these officials had stopped making noise, and looked at Yan Mu enviously.
