Master Emperor, your wife is too poisonous

Chapter 215
The city lord became anxious when he heard the news, and he was about to get up when he lifted the quilt.

But his body was too weak, and he coughed continuously as soon as he moved.

"Be careful!" Mrs. Chang hurriedly stepped forward to support the city lord's body, letting him sit leaning against the head of the bed again, then turned around and looked sharply at the servant who was kneeling on the ground.

"What's going on, please speak clearly! Hasn't the city been fine all the time? The rest of the city are victims of disasters, and they are all sick. Where do they get the strength to make trouble?"

"There is a shortage of medicinal materials and food in the city, and many people have no food to eat." The servant knelt on the ground and said, "Someone suddenly delivered food and medicinal materials this morning. The guards in the city mobilized manpower to escort them to Send things to the City Lord's Mansion."

The man said: "When the people saw the grain carts on the road, they stepped forward and asked if the grain was brought for them. The guard who escorted them was afraid that the victims would make a scene and cause looting, so he said that it was all for the city lord's mansion. Let those disaster victims stay away from them."

"Later, I didn't know who was instigating the flames. There were rumors that the city lord only cared about the life and death of the people in his mansion, and refused to share a bite of food with the people. He just wanted the people to starve to death without getting sick."

"The rumor quickly spread in the city, and some bold victims took the lead in making trouble, rushing forward to grab the food and medicinal herbs."

"There were not many guards left in the city, and even fewer guards were dispatched to escort supplies. They simply couldn't suppress the mob."

"One person robbed the grain, and the others, afraid of losing money, followed suit. The four carts of grain and medicinal herbs were quickly looted."

"But there are a lot of disaster victims in the city, and there are still many people who haven't snatched anything. Those people have gathered now and come to the City Lord's Mansion together, saying that they want the City Lord to give them justice, or they will smash the City Lord's Mansion!"

After hearing these words, the city lord became anxious and angry. He covered his chest with his hands and coughed continuously, and almost fainted directly.

Chang Shi stroked his chest to calm him down, and after hearing these words, he was also furious.

"Are these people crazy! During the floods before, Shihai fought the disaster with them, and stayed with them for food and lodging. He never enjoyed it as a city lord."

"How long has it been? Have they forgotten what Shi Hai did for them! How could they say such things, and how dare they come to the City Lord's Mansion to make trouble!"

"They were already sick, and they knew that their time was short, and they were already at the end of the road." Ye Lingxi said, "When people are in despair, they will inevitably make some extreme decisions that irrational."

Ye Lingxi comforted Chang so much, but the look on her face was also faintly angry.

"When we set off from Qiongdu before, the emperor and I rode a horse first, and His Royal Highness set off one step behind us with the disaster relief troops and supplies."

"My lord Emperor and I traveled day and night, and we just arrived here yesterday."

Ye Lingxi said: "His Royal Highness is bringing a lot of people, and with the delivery of supplies, the speed must not be that fast. It should be impossible to arrive at this time."

"Those food and supplies should have been dispatched by the emperor from other places and sent to Xitong City for emergency use. Who knew that such a thing would happen."

She frowned and said: "Now everything has been robbed, and it is impossible to take back those robbed supplies from the hands of the people."

"Besides, supplies are still second to none. The most important thing is the turmoil of the victims..." Ye Lingxi said, "We can't let them really make a fuss, otherwise, once the people's emotions are incited, it will really end badly." .”

"Help me up and change my clothes!"

Before Ye Lingxi finished speaking, the city lord suddenly ordered Chang, "Bring me my official uniform."

"Shihai!" Chang's face changed anxiously, "What is your body now! Don't be brave!"

"I am the city lord of Xitong City, and the parent official of Xitong City! Now the people think that I have done a bad job...then I, the city lord, should also have an explanation to them."

The city lord reached out and grabbed Chang's hand, "Shuxian, you know my temperament."

"Now is not the time to escape. I have to come forward when something like this happens."

Chang's gritted her teeth tightly, because of suppressing her anger, the expression on her face was slightly distorted.

Seeing that the city lord insisted on not changing his mind, she said in a deep voice, "Okay, then I will accompany you!"

She said and called the maid who was close to her, "Go and get my wife's clothes. Since the city lord should give the people an explanation, then as the city lord's wife, I should go with me!"

"Doctor Ye, I'm really sorry, but I made you laugh." The city lord said to Ye Lingxi apologetically, "Don't worry, even if the people really come to the city lord's mansion, I will send someone to protect you and Ji Shizi , will not let you have trouble."

"City Master, what are you talking about." Ye Lingxi shook her head and said, "It's not what you want to see, and it's not your fault."

"Speaking of which, the matter of transporting supplies is considered to have been discussed with the Emperor Master before. If it is really necessary to discuss it, then I also have a certain responsibility for this matter."

Most of the nearby main cities had been hit by disasters before, and supplies were also in short supply. Helian Mingye was able to deliver the supplies so quickly, probably not on loan from other main cities, and it was most likely that Boss Qian left way.

And Boss Qian's involvement was led by her.

So she really wasn't talking nonsense, but it did have something to do with her.

"Although my inspection department is just a name and has no real power, I can be regarded as coming from Qiongdu for disaster relief. Since something like this happened, I should come forward and explain it."

Ye Lingxi stood up as she spoke, "City Lord, madam, you can change your clothes. I'll go out and wait. When I go to meet the victims later, I'll go with you."

After the catastrophe, there will be chaos.

These words are indeed true, people want to live, and when they are driven to a dead end, they can do anything in order to survive.

At that time, morality, benevolence, and affection are all unimportant.

In her previous life, she also saw the turmoil of the victims, but it was the first time she faced the turmoil so directly.

It's just because of a little food and supplies...

Ye Lingxi shook her head secretly and sighed, "It's not easy for people to survive."

She thought about it, and felt that it would not be a problem to just wait for the victims to make trouble, so she asked a servant to ask, "Where is there a pen and paper, can I borrow it?"

Xitong City is now completely closed, and the news is slow to spread.

Now that such a big thing happened, she should send a letter to Helian Mingye to let him know as soon as possible.
