The fifth lady against the sky

Chapter 232 The Ultimate Flower Butterfly (1)
The shopkeeper was a man in his 40s. Hearing Feng Muxie's question, he sighed and said, "Originally, under the governance of the previous mayor, Qingyue Town has become more and more prosperous. The people are still living a life of food and clothing, but since After the mayor of this town came to Qingyue Town, taxes increased. The people who farmed for a living had to sell [-]% of their annual grain to the mayor, and the remaining [-]% of the grain could barely feed a farmer. However, the peasants with more staff It won’t work. For a small business like mine, the annual income can only support the family’s expenses.”

Feng Muxie was surprised that there were officials and common people so close to the capital. Seeing the shivering children outside, Feng Muxie couldn't help but angrily said: "It's so close to the capital, don't you think of suing him? Don’t many officials in the capital ignore the main road passing through the capital?”

The shopkeeper had nothing to fear, anyway, there were no other guests in the inn except Feng Muxie and others, and he replied angrily: "The mayor's backstage is the current prime minister, and officials with relatively small contacts dare not offend the prime minister." I don't care about it, not to mention that as long as officials pass by Qingyue Town, the mayor will treat them well. When older officials pass by, the mayor will know in advance, and will quickly let the officials in the yamen drive the beggars away. They went to guard the ruined temple in the south of the town, and the beggars would not be released until the officials left Qingyue town. And at the beginning, a few people were planning to go to Beijing to sue the mayor, but somehow the news leaked out. Their homes were all destroyed by the fire, and they were burned to death. After that, no one dared to sue again.”

At this time, Feng Ruoli, who was pampered and spoiled since childhood and did not understand the sufferings of the world, saw the shivering child outside his age, his sympathy surged instantly, and he said to Feng Muxie: "Uncle, the people outside are so pitiful." , let's help them. Or give them something to eat."

Before Feng Muxie could speak, the shopkeeper stopped him and said, "Young master, absolutely not, these beggars are only [-]% of the beggars in Qingyue Town, and there are many beggars in other places, if you give them food, the beggars from other places Beggars will also come upon hearing the news. Then it will be very difficult for you to escape."

Feng Ruoli looked at Feng Muxie in bewilderment. Feng Muxie brought this child out this time to let him gain some knowledge and experience the sufferings of the world. Otherwise, he would always be spoiled by his family in the capital and never grow up. Big.Seeing that a certain child was confused, Feng Muxie sighed, her responsibilities are heavy and there is a long way to go, it seems that she must guide and educate this child well.

"Shopkeeper, prepare four upper rooms for us, and prepare some meals to be delivered to our rooms, and prepare some hot water for us by the way." Feng Muxie ordered to the shopkeeper.

After Feng Muxie followed Xiao Er to the room, she pressed Feng Ruoli on the chair, then moved a chair, looked at a sullen child, and said, "Xiao Li, it's not that aunt doesn't help these beggars, It depends on how you help. If you just give them something to eat, if they are full from one meal, then the next one will be."

Feng Ruoli looked at Feng Muxie expectantly, and said, "But we can give them money and let them buy things by themselves."

Feng Muxie touched the rare child who was full of sympathy, and said earnestly: "Yes, we can give them money, so that they don't have to stand outside begging for a while. But you also heard what the shopkeeper said just now, you I think what kind of consequences will there be if we distribute some silver to each beggar with such fanfare."

Feng Ruoli lowered her head and pondered for a while, and after she figured it out, she couldn't help but clenched her fists and said angrily: "The mayor will definitely let the beggars take out the money in their hands. Don’t those children have any clothes or shoes? Besides, the prime minister is behind him, didn’t the prime minister escape? The prime minister’s house was also searched, why are you still so dragging.”

Feng Muxie explained: "The people related to the prime minister were just searched yesterday, and the gates of the capital were closed yesterday and today, and the news has not yet reached here. It is inevitable not to know. It seems that we have to take care of this matter Since we want these beggars to live a normal life, we must help them fundamentally, Xiao Li can understand."

Feng Ruoli raised her small head and said with a sly smile: "I understand, little aunt, if you want to feed and clothe those children, you have to get rid of that hateful mayor."

The food was served quickly, Feng Muxie asked Mu San to sit down and have a meal together, how could such a principled and dull person like Mu San dare to eat at the same table with the princess, he hurriedly refused, and finally Feng Ruoli and Wuyou pressed him in the Sit on the chair.

Just after eating, when Mu San was about to go back to his room, Feng Muxie said quietly behind him: "Brother Mu, are there other hidden guards of Prince Li's Mansion hidden by my side?" Actually, Feng Muxie It was purely guesswork, because Feng Muxie didn't think that Xiahou Qianmo would only send a hidden guard or a hidden guard who was afraid of snakes to protect him, and there must be other hidden guards.

Just as Mu San was about to go out, his feet stopped, his eyes dodged, he didn't dare to turn around, he was thinking about whether to say something or not.

Seeing Mu San dodging and hesitating, Feng Muxie knew that there must be hidden guards around her, so she opened the window and shouted, "Dark guards of Prince Li's residence, come out."

The dark guard hidden outside had a bitter expression on his face, so he obediently flew into the room through the window, and obediently stood in front of Feng Muxie.A dark guard with a bright face asked curiously: "Little Princess, how do you know we are in the dark?"

Feng Muxie thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Guess."

The mouth corners of the two who came out twitched, and they were framed by the little princess.Feng Muxie ignored the mournful eyes of the two, and said: "You guys still hide in the dark to protect me. One of them came back to Beijing and told your lord, saying that I want something that can be used to deal with officials. See the emperor's token. Tell him that this young lady is going to punish the evil and promote the good, and she will do a big job to cut all the decayed teeth of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in half."

"Yes, little princess." The two said respectfully, and then disappeared into the room.

"Where are the guests who come to the store today, get out of here."

Suddenly, there was an arrogant and domineering voice in the hall.Immediately, Feng Muxie heard the shopkeeper begging for mercy.
