Chapter 988 Just because this is the fiefdom of King Xuan
Shangguan Ruoli's heart sank, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Zhou, covered in sawdust and dust, came out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and reported: "Back to the princess, the beams in the house collapsed. The woman asked the girl to wait in the yard first while she packed some valuable things. After the results came out,
, but I didn’t see the girl. When I heard the guards shouting for everyone to come here, I thought the girl ran here by herself."
Butler Zuo said: "I've sent people to look for it, but they haven't found it."
Sassoon also said: "The slave also looked for her in the backyard, but she couldn't find her and no one saw her coming."
Shangguan Ruoli sighed: "She must have been taken away by her biological mother's people during the chaos."
Mrs. Zhou's face suddenly turned pale. She is now a lonely old woman. Although she often gets angry with the girl, she has raised her for seven years and has regarded her as her granddaughter. She is still counting on her to take care of her until she is old.
Shangguan Ruoli said: "Your Majesty will send someone to find Concubine Sun. If you find Concubine Sun, you will find the girl. Now let's settle the injured, old, weak, women and children in the mansion, and the rest will go back to their own yards to tidy up.
Let’s see what else is available and edible.”
Sassoon said to Housekeeper Zuo: "There are so many women and children that even if they sleep on the ground, they probably won't be able to live in the backyard."
Butler Zuo said: "It doesn't matter, you make arrangements first and see how much is left. I will allocate one or two guest rooms in the outer courtyard for the women and children to live in."
Sassoon said: "Okay, if the men can't live there, they can set up tents."
Butler Zuo said: "If you want to stay here, you can make a floor bunk in the hall."
Sassoon added: "I'm afraid there's not enough food to eat."
Butler Zuo said: "It doesn't matter, so many ants and bugs are not found locally. There must be nothing in other nearby places. I will send people to buy food now..."
Shangguan Ruoli looked at the two people discussing and thinking, and felt that it was quite harmonious. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. The two of them had arranged things properly, so they didn't need to worry about it themselves.
Holding Ling Yao and the two children, he called Xiao Fei into the house.
First, he drank a cup of herbal tea and asked Xiao Fei: "Old man, do you know how to deal with the art of controlling beasts?"
Xiao Fei sat down, frowned and said, "Yes."
When Shangguan Ruoli saw his frown, he knew that there was no convenient way. He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and said with a slumped head: "Let's take a look."
Xiao Fei said: "Catch that monster and kill her, or find someone who is also good at controlling beasts to play against her."
"As expected!" Shangguan Ruoli rolled his eyes towards the beam.
Xiao Fei glared at her, "I have asked all the people in the Plum Blossom Pavilion in the fief to find the person. I also spread the word that it was Concubine Sun's revenge, not that King Xuan was punished by God."
Shangguan Ruoli glanced at Xiao Fei gratefully, "Thank you."
Xiao Fei snorted coldly: "You're worthless! Without me, Plum Blossom Pavilion will be defeated at your hands! Now leave everything to me, old man, so you can have your own leisure!"
Shangguan Ruoli said with a silly smile: "Old man, you are getting stronger and stronger, so you are naturally the most capable. How can you waste such a capable old man?"
Xiao Fei snorted coldly, "Stop patting the horses!"
Although his face was sullen, the slightly raised corners of his lips and the smile in his eyes showed that he enjoyed using this rainbow fart.
At night, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants are no longer so crazy, gradually calm down, and tend to retreat.
News came that traces of a woman's life were found in a tiger cave on Lianshan Mountain, but she had already left.
The affected areas were the newly opened terraced fields in Yue County and the area around Prince Xuan's Mansion. The rest of the areas, including Yuancheng, were not affected by termites.
As expected, rumors spread among the people that it was King Xuan who was unknown, causing King Xuan's fiefdom to suffer such horrific revenge. Although King Xuan and the people from Meihua Pavilion used good excuses to suppress the rumors, there were still a small number of people who preferred to believe it.
In the morning, many people came to the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion to make trouble, saying that Prince Xuan was unknown, which made the Lord of the Earth angry and demanded that Prince Xuan leave Yue County.
Shangguan Ruoli sneered: "There are quite a few immortals in Yue County, including mountain gods and earth lords."
Dongming Ziyu went to the county guard's office early in the morning, and Shangguan Ruoli went out to deal with it.
She put on the princess's palace attire, dressed up, and walked out of the door.
Although the common people in such a remote place have never seen palace attire, the moment Shangguan Ruoli appeared, they were shocked by the majesty radiating from her body from the inside out.
The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and many people had a look of fear in their eyes.
Shangguan Ruoli glanced at the crowd coldly. There were much fewer people there than the last time when the child poaching case caused trouble.
He said slowly in a light tone: "This is King Xuan's fiefdom. It was given by the emperor. King Xuan is the master here. Who gave you the courage to drive away the master?"
"Ah?" The people were all surprised. They didn't even think of this problem and they all whispered.
Shangguan Ruoli said again: "Since you feel that King Xuan is unknown and no one has asked you to be the common people of King Xuan's fief, you can move out of the fief immediately."
Someone boldly said: "This is our home, our roots, why should we move away?"
"Just because this is the fiefdom of King Xuan!" Shangguan Ruoli's voice suddenly rose, making the speaker tremble, "The government will give money to the people who were injured this time and help rebuild their houses. Anyway, your home is too
It’s ruined. After receiving the pension money, go and repair the house elsewhere!”
Someone asked: "What about our land?"
Shangguan Ruoli said: "Prince Xuan's Mansion bought it."
Butler Zuo behind him said solemnly: "Whoever wants to sell land can register with me!"
Many people hesitated. In less than a year since King Xuan came, the fiefdom has undergone earth-shaking changes. There have been two harvests in the terraced fields, wide roads lead to the town and docks, and purchases are made in the seafood factory.
All the fishermen’s seafood…
Their lives have quickly become richer, and they are naturally unwilling to let them leave.
Shangguan Ruoli saw their thoughts and said coldly: "Now, you have three options to choose from. First, go home, wait for the court's pension, build houses and terraces, and continue to live your life; second, take the
Pay the money, sell the land, and leave the fief; third, continue to cause trouble and wait for death!"
After speaking, he told Zhui Feng: "Anyone who chooses the third option will be punished for treason as a member of the Sun family!"
Zhui Feng clasped his fists murderously and said, "Yes!"
There was a sound of swords being unsheathed all around, and the cold light of the swords shone brightly in the sun, making everyone take a breath of air.
After Shangguan Ruoli finished speaking, he turned around and walked into Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Just after taking a few steps, someone heard an angry voice: "Does King Xuan want to fabricate charges and kill innocent people indiscriminately? We are going to file a complaint and drive King Xuan out of Yue County!"
Shangguan Ruoli suddenly turned around, pointed at the man with a ferocious face and said, "Capture him and interrogate him carefully!"
A cold light flashed in the man's eyes, and he raised his arm towards Shangguan Ruoli, with a fire blunderbuss exposed from his sleeve.
Then, with a "bang!" sound, a gun rang out.
