She didn't know why, but she always felt that Cang Qiao seemed to be a little weird recently.
His aura was somewhat manic, as if he was suppressing a strange anger, and the way he looked at her when he transformed into Homurako was not quite right.
Although he usually looked at her with undisguised possessiveness in his eyes, this was the first time he looked at her like a piece of meat, as if he was considering where to cut and then kill her and eat her.
She... was stared at just now and her mouth was dry, and she was a little scared.
If Ming Lan changed his temple massage this time, that man must have suffered another episode of Soul Leaving Syndrome, so he had to find a chance to feel his pulse.
Being too hungry is not a good thing~
Especially when he is not good enough, he can easily become abnormal.
Although he was already quite perverted, he couldn't be upgraded, right? She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to withstand it!
Anyway... I'll hide it and talk about it tonight.
…
half an hour later
Jinyiwei Black Liaocheng Command Guard Post.
"Let me go...what are you going to do!"
A group of Jinyi guards who were being escorted to kneel on the ground twisted their bodies angrily, trying to struggle out from under the black-clad Ti riders who were escorting them.
But this group of royal guards, who were always shouting and shouting and feared by everyone on the ground, could not move under the hands of their colleagues.
"You idiots from the capital who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, how dare you do this to us? Do you not want to leave Northeast China alive?!" the leader of the Hei Liao Jinyi Guards commander yelled mercilessly.
He had received news early that someone from the top had been rewarded with food and salary for this spring, and a big shot had come to inspect. He was a popular figure in Dongchang, the godson of the guy above.
He prepared many gifts and personally brought people to accompany him. Who would have thought that in the middle of drinking, the young father-in-law who was drinking with him suddenly sneered and had them all knocked to the ground!
The shady Jin Yiwei commander stared at Xiao Qi Zi and sneered: "Eunuch Qi, our place is different from the capital or even other places. You'd better..."
"What's the best? I'd really like to know what's the difference."
The night was dark, and several figures took shape like the charming smoke, slowly emerging from the dark depths of the corridor.
The slender and cold figure at the head was dressed in a silk python robe as red as blood, with a narrow jade belt, and a gold-painted black hat on his head. His whole body was filled with the enchanting and chilling night atmosphere.
"Qian...Qiansui Master, you...why are you here?!" The commanding officer of the Black Liao Jin Yiwei opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and the blood flowed from his body!
It turns out...this is the real big shot who came to Northeast Xinjiang!!
Cang Qiao lazily held Xiao Qi Zi's arm and sat down: "Of course I am here to reward you."
"Master... my subordinates... my subordinates are wrong..." the commander of Heilia City was trembling all over. He had seen Cang Qiao's ruthless and cruel methods.
"Those newly invented punishments in our Dongchang, I think the colleagues who come to the Heiliao City Guards Office don't understand these new things, so let's reward them and use them again." Cang Qiao's phoenix eyes stared at the people kneeling on the ground, with a charming and sinister smile.
.
A group of Jinyi guards kneeling on the ground turned pale in an instant.
Those terrible punishments that Dongchang invents every year... they are happy to let others use them, but they never thought that they would be used on themselves!
…
Not long after, tragic screams came from the Jinyiwei command post.
an hour later
Cang Qiao led the people out of the door.
Xiao Qizi asked respectfully: "Lord Governor, today's harvest is good. They have confessed to all the places where weapons are refined, privately mined and soldiers are trained. Are there still people inside?"
Cang Qiao said slowly and calmly: "Send them to cremation and make them clean."
Xiao Qizi nodded. The people inside were all senior officials of the Hei Liao Command and Guard Station. Since they betrayed their master, they would not be able to live!
"My subordinates will send people to take over the unsuspecting Jin Yiwei on the outside."
Cang Qiao wiped the blood spattered on his face with a handkerchief and said coldly: "The mineral deposits and weapon refining sites discovered this time must be 'organized' properly."
Xiao Qizi naturally understood that Chitose was wearing a human skin mask this time and did not show his true face, which meant that the only things the emperor was looking for in this mission were corrupt officials and bandits.
As for the remaining things found in the northeastern territory, whether weapons or mineral deposits, they were all "organized" into their Dongchang's private treasury, and the emperor did not know about it.
In the dead of night, a fire suddenly and unexpectedly broke out in the Hei Liao Jin Yi Guard Command Post.
Late that night, the commander of the Hei Liao Jinyi Guards and other local Jinyiwei senior officials were receiving distinguished guests from the capital, but they did not want to drink too much and died together in the sea of fire.
This is something.
When Cang Qiao returned to the inn, he found that his "late night snack" - Ming Lanruo was missing!
"Where are the people!" His good mood tonight was gone, his face was gloomy, and he spoke grimly while holding a steel whip.
The shadow guard guarding the door timidly wanted to cry: "Ming... Concubine Ming accidentally knocked over the bucket, and all the water leaked into the guest room downstairs. The guests downstairs rushed up to make trouble, and the people around the concubine picked her up.
gone……."
The way I look "hungry" is really scary!
Cang Qiao narrowed her eyes and snapped the steel whip in her hand: "Haha..."
What a coincidence.
But it doesn't matter, he will stay in the inn and see what the girl is up to.
She would always tell him to catch her.
The next day, a stall was set up at the entrance of the inn where the officials of King Qin were staying.
Ming Lanruo asked Chen Ning to hang up the banner of spreading porridge and grain in the name of a foreign caravan.
The weather is very cold, and the steaming porridge is rolling on the stove. The steam is steaming, which makes it look very tempting.
One after another, victims with shabby clothes and sallow faces gathered over to receive porridge with bowls in their hands.
Ming Lanruo observed carefully that the queue of victims who came to receive the porridge snaked to the farthest street corner. It was estimated that it would take two hours to finish distributing the porridge.
But in her previous life, when she went to the south of the Yangtze River with the prince to relieve floods, she distributed porridge from morning to night, but there was not enough for the victims. The number of victims in Heiliao City was not right.
Now that the snow has melted early, it is a time of drought. Where can the victims store food?
It's better to stutter than to starve to death, right?
And just as the official of the King of Qin said, these victims received the porridge in an extremely orderly manner... No one pushed them, and no one dared to grab the porridge.
Even though it is difficult to walk, I just leave as soon as I receive it, and I never receive more.
Even those with children dragged their sallow-looking children away.
This is in sharp contrast to the court's disaster relief efforts in other places, where hungry victims often rioted over food grabbing.
Minglanruo's bright eyes are cold, and her heart becomes clearer.
In this case, most likely someone has used extremely bloody and cruel methods to warn the victims.
She whispered something to Chen Ning. Chen Ning nodded, and after a while, he brought out a big pot from the kitchen and placed it on the stove.
The victims waiting in line looked at the pot curiously, not knowing what it was. Maybe it was steamed buns?
Then Ming Lanruo waited for the fire to boil, the pot made a "crackling" sound, and a scent of oil spread out.
The commotion among the victims was aroused, and they all poked their heads in. They had not smelled the fragrance of oil for a long time.
After seeing that the heat was high enough, she opened the pot. Inside were all vegetable and meatballs the size of a thumb.
The vegetable and meatballs are deep-fried into golden brown, crispy and tender. When you pinch them, the meat and meat juices will burst out, and there is an extremely attractive spicy aroma.
In a year of great famine, let alone oil and water, it is a great thing to have porridge and water, and coarse chaff and cornstarch.
This kind of spicy coriander meatballs made all the victims stare blankly in an instant, causing a commotion.
"This...is this for us?" A slender woman who was standing closest and holding her child asked cautiously.
Ming Lanruo smiled softly and wrapped two thumb-sized coriander meatballs in oil paper and handed them to her: "Yes."
The aunt took it in disbelief, immediately hid it in the chest of the ragged clothes, and trembled her lips: "Thank you... many thanks... little madam."
Chen Ning shouted at the top of his lungs: "Dear fellow villagers, our housekeeper lady is giving out meatballs, but the quantity is limited. Those with children at home can only receive two!"
As soon as these words came out, along with the spicy smell of meat that spread across the street in the cold wind, the entire team of victims was boiling.
If there were children, the victims immediately rushed out and lined up with their children. Those whose children were at home turned around and ran back to find their children.
The childless man was aggrieved, but he could only watch.
Ming Lanruo and others served delicious vegetable and meatballs.
Chen Ning kept preaching: "This is specially prepared for the poor children in Heiliaocheng. Starting tomorrow, let the children come and get the meatballs by themselves. Everyone can have it!"
The victims were no longer the stagnant water they had been before, and they all expressed their gratitude to Ming Lanruo. Many of them even became red-eyed.
"Thank you, madam!"
"The little lady is interested!"
"Thank you very much!"
In the year of the great disaster, the fields were starved to death and countless people froze to death. Food and supplies were limited. Children were the most difficult to feed and were the first to be sacrificed.
They even exchange their children for food.
But whose child is not his own pet peeve?!
The little lady in front of her was the first to think of her children, so how could she not make the victims feel hot-hearted and have tears in their eyes.
Ming Lanruo felt complicated and painful when she looked at the ragged victims in front of her, including the poor children who were wearing thin clothes even in the heavy snow.
Xiao Xi, who is as meaty as a dumpling, is just like these children, and she has also tried hard to survive in desperate situations.
In the distant ranks of the victims, there were several pairs of gloomy and cold eyes watching everything.
But seeing that it was just an out-of-town business woman here to show her mercy, she didn't do much.
In the past, there were many such hypocritical wealthy businessmen from other places who did charity, just to get a charity certificate, so that the government could reduce taxes when doing business.
They don't have to rush to deal with her.
They were staring at Ming Lanruo, and there were eyes staring at them.
A long, icy shadow stood on a restaurant not far away, holding a Western telescope in his hand to take in everything.
Cang Qiao, dressed in black, narrowed his eyes and looked at the graceful figure in the crowd.
