Chapter 326 Your Majesty!severe drought in northern capital

Xia Baoer's agile eyes were stained with doubts.

"Bao'er once heard from the prime minister's uncle that no matter how rich a country is, it is impossible for it to have no beggars.

Because, there are always lonely and helpless people who cannot support themselves, why are there none in the North? "

The minister beside Ye Jitong immediately said: "Governor Ye is very dedicated to helping the poor, so now there are no beggars in Beidu."

A flash of understanding flashed across Xia Baoer's originally immature face.

She twisted her body and asked to get off the ground.

Before taking two steps, he lowered his head and looked at his little white shoes.

The embroidered shoes were made by Concubine Hui herself. There are two little pink butterflies on the toe.

But at this moment, it was covered with a thin layer of soil.

It looked gray.

Xia Baoer shook her little feet and took a look.

She ran to the nearest stall and looked up.

This is a small noodle stall selling scallion noodles.

The vendor was a middle-aged man, he bowed and smiled: "What would your Highness want to eat?"

Xia Baoer slapped him twice from head to toe.

She was silent for a moment, then turned her head to look at Ye Jitong.

I saw that the little girl who was still innocent and immature suddenly became majestic, with sternness in her dark eyes.

"Uncle Governor, why are you lying?"

Ye Ji was stunned, and was shocked: "Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"

Xia Baoer pointed at the tip of her little shoe.

"This neighborhood looks like people are coming and going, but the dust on the ground is so thick that you can get your shoes dirty after just a few steps.

If it is true that there are people who come and go frequently, the people rubbing shoulders, the dust has been trampled down, and there are still so many,
It means that people don't come to this street very often, or, something happened, and the people don't like to go out to buy things anymore! "

She looked at the noodle vendor again.

"He is not the owner of a noodle stall at all. I have seen a stall selling scallion oil noodles in the capital. The scallion oil needs to be fried to be fragrant. The oil in the pot is always hot!
This noodle stall didn't even have a fire.even!There is not even flour for kneading the dough on the chopping board. As the owner of the noodle stall, he has no assistants to help him, and he has no servants.

Your hands are still clean. If you don’t knead the dough, what will you sell? "

Xia Baoer turned around, pointed to the street, and said to Xia Hongmo, "Daddy! They are all pretending to make a living, they are not real peddlers at all!"

She looked at the governor Ye Jitong, her voice was immature, but full of majesty: "Uncle governor, if you don't tell the truth, you are just lying, and the crime is even more heinous!"

All the people present were in an uproar.

Officials from the capital whispered to each other.

Prime Minister Lu frowned deeply, realizing something was wrong.

And Xia Hongmo, as the emperor, had dark clouds gathering in his wise eyes.

He stared at Ye Jitong: "What's going on, tell me!"

The emperor's stern question scared Ye Jitong and his subordinates to kneel down in unison.

"The emperor spares my life, the princess spares my life!" Ye Ji's thin face was full of difficulties.

"I shouldn't have concealed it, and I know that cheating the emperor is a capital crime, but this happened suddenly and strangely. I want to find out what happened first, and then report to the emperor!"

Ye Jitong knelt on the ground, kowtowed deeply, and his voice was full of tears: "Your Majesty! There is a severe drought in the northern capital, and there has been no rain for half a year. Not only have the people failed to harvest, but many people have died due to lack of water!"

All the ministers were startled, and Prime Minister Lu sternly reprimanded: "There is such a thing, why don't you send a memorial to Beijing!"

 Today's update starts, it's still a day to ask for tickets
