Fan Yuanxi was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, with a leopard squatting at his feet.
When Mu Siyu appeared, the leopard half stood up and looked over fiercely. When Fan Yuanxi kicked it, it squatted down again, as if it knew what Fan Yuanxi was implying.
"I have met the prince."
"I didn't call you here to salute me." Fan Yuanxi said calmly, "Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"When are you going to the capital?" Fan Yuanxi asked, "I'm asking for Wen Yi. I think you two get along well. He stays in the house all day and doesn't go anywhere. If you go to the capital, he still has someone to talk to."
"Young Master Wen is bored, just find something for him to do." Mu Siyu said, "With the prince's ability, is it difficult to buy some properties for him to take care of?"
"I have tried it, but he has no interest in ordinary industries." Fan Yuanxi said, "I see that he is quite happy when he is working for you."
"Then I have no choice." Mu Siyu spread her hands, looking helpless, "I can't go to the capital yet. When I go to the capital, I can ask Wen Yi to be the general financial officer for me."
"What is that?"
"Just managing all the accounts."
"You want to tire him to death?"
"There are a group of accountants below. He is only responsible for managing them and occasionally checking the accounts to see if there are any problems. It won't be too tiring. Does the prince have any other instructions?"
"I'm hungry, please get me something to eat."
Mu Siyu's cooking is excellent. Fan Yuanxi has only tasted it a few times, and he still can't forget the taste.
In addition to being delicious, the dishes she cooked also tasted like home, something he and Wen Yi had never imagined in their lives.
"Your Majesty, it's not good..."
One of the men ran over and shouted.
Before Fan Yuanxi could speak, his entourage scolded him: "Speak carefully. What does it mean that the prince is not good? You want to die?"
"No, no, it's not the prince who is in trouble, it's the victims who are in trouble." His subordinates said anxiously, "The victims took the food and went back to cook, and then they dumped a piece of it. Now the whole city of Suzhou is in chaos. The county magistrate has led
The soldiers went to see it, and my subordinates quickly came to inform the prince and asked him to go and have a look."
"Where are General Su and Master Lu?"
"They also rushed over."
"I'm going to take a look." Fan Yuanxi strode away.
Mu Siyu greeted Zisu and Ziyuan: "Let's go take a look too."
When something like this happened in Suzhou City, disaster relief and food distribution had to be stopped first.
The officers and soldiers carried all the people who were rolling on the ground in pain and wailing to the government office, and then invited doctors from all over the city to come over and treat them.
"How is it?" Su Sheng asked the doctor.
The doctor said: "It must have been something bad."
Lu Yi handed the porridge to the doctor: "Look at this."
The doctor smelled it, frowned, tried to taste a little more, and quickly spat out what was in his mouth: "Bah! Why is there stone forging in this?"
"What did you say?" Fan Yuanxi arrived.
"I have met the prince..." Everyone saluted.
"Okay, now I just want to know what is going on!" Fan Yuanxi said coldly, "We have provided disaster relief in so many places, and they are all fine. But when we arrived in Suzhou City, something like this happened. Who can tell me what happened?
What's going on?"
"Back to your lord, we found stone forging in the porridge." Lu Yi said.
Mu Siyu happened to hear these words.
Stone forging is lime, and there is lime in the porridge. How can those common people drink it?
"How come there is stone forging? Check it out!" Fan Yuanxi said, "I would like to see who is at odds with me."
"The most important thing now is remediation." Mu Siyu reminded, "Eating stone forge is no joke, it will burn your stomach. Doctors, please do your best to save them."
Mo Wuyi found that Mrs. Lu was very courageous. While the prince was here, no one else dared to speak, but she still dared to teach him how to do things.
The grumpy prince was even more weird. If anyone else had said these words, he would have been thrown out to feed the leopards, but he seemed unable to hear what she said and allowed her to direct them there.
Before, she said that Prince Zhong was different from Mrs. Lu, which was originally intended to anger Lu Yi and bring some discomfort to the couple, but now she found that her previous speculation may not be true.
"Your Majesty, the people are in trouble." The county magistrate of Suzhou City said anxiously, "What should we do now?"
"I will see who dares to make trouble." Fan Yuanxi sneered.
Everyone left the Yamen.
I saw a large number of people gathered at the door.
The common people were filled with righteous indignation, with fire in their eyes, as if they were going to burn down the Yamen in the next moment.
"Out! They're out!"
"We want an explanation! The imperial court sent you to provide disaster relief because it asked you to save us, not to kill us."
"Why do you want to harm us? Do you want to kill us all? Do we want to cause a disaster? Do we want to be rescued? Tell us! Give us an explanation!"
Fan Yuanxi's eyes were gloomy: "What do you want to explain? This king..."
"Your Majesty," Lu Yi stopped Fan Yuanxi, "Let me tell you!"
With the character of a loyal king, if he meets the people like this for the first time, he might do something impulsive later.
"Everyone, we didn't expect that there was a problem in the porridge. Please give us some time and we will find out the truth." Lu Yi said, "The prince has led us to provide disaster relief in dozens of cities, but there is no problem in any of them. But in Suzhou
There is a problem in the city, and there must be fraud involved. Think about the prince's character. If he really wants to harm you, does he need to spend so much effort?"
Everyone was silent.
King Zhong was famous for his cruelty.
He can kill people whenever he wants, so why bother?
Is there really an inside story?
"Everyone, I promise you, you will definitely be given an explanation for this matter. Who put something in the porridge and what is this person's purpose? We will find out. Don't fall into this person's trick. If
If you do something wrong impulsively, it can't be undone. Now, what we have to do is to quickly treat those involved," Mu Siyu said.
"Boss Mu is a good person. During this time, people from their Shanghai-North Chamber of Commerce have come to give us porridge and food. I believe she will not harm us."
"I also believe in Boss Mu."
"Yes, Boss Mu said that someone wants to stir up trouble, let's not be fooled."
Su Sheng's soldiers had been alert to the riots of these people, and when they saw that they finally calmed down, their tense bodies relaxed.
Everyone also saw Mu Siyu's influence on these people.
Almost everyone here knows Mu Siyu.
What does it mean?
This shows that her appeal among the people is stronger than that of the government.
"Your Majesty, you have given porridge in other places, but nothing similar has happened. This means that the stone forging in Miri only happened recently. Please investigate this matter thoroughly."
"I will investigate," Fan Yuanxi said, "but if anyone comes to make trouble, I will throw them into Xiaoyaoyuan."
