"I heard that the prefect has hoarded a lot of food, right?" Shangguan Wanning smiled sweetly and casually played with her fingers.
The prefect did not take Shangguan Wanning seriously at all. Even if he couldn't hold it up now, he still raised his head and stared at her angrily.
"So what? Girl, do you think your father is still the prime minister of the dynasty? He is just a rat crossing the street that cannot be protected by himself. This is my territory. If you dare to touch a piece of my hair... Humph, you
Don't want to go out alive."
Shangguan Wanning suddenly discovered that the prefect did not seem to have the weakness or character of a literati at all, but was more of a ruffian.
"Prince, please rest assured. Even if you take into account the face of the court, I will not embarrass you too much."
Shangguan Wanning hooked her fingers at the entourage, and the entourage leaned over. She said a few words in a low voice, and the entourage turned around and went out.
After about two cups of tea, the follower walked in with a large wooden bucket. Uncovered the lid, it was filled with buckets of white rice.
"The prefect hoarded so much grain is sold at a high price, and you must have a good appetite. If you finish eating this bucket of rice, I will let you go."
The prefect changed his face instantly when he saw it.
"Why? Don't you want to eat?" Shangguan Wanning's smile was still sweet, "You can't help it."
"you……"
"Just eat."
The follower was very impatient and pressed the prefect's face into the meal.
"Look at him after eating. If he doesn't die of dying after eating, let him go. If he is accidentally dying of dying... then he can only blame him for his bad luck."
Shangguan Wanning restrained her smile, got up and walked out of the room.
She came to the prefect's study and read some official documents issued by the court recently, which were basically related to the war.
One of the documents on the day before yesterday attracted Shangguan Wanning's attention.
The court asked the prefect to withdraw the reserve grain from the official granary and send it to the nearby teams that were fighting with the imperial rebels.
The rebels mentioned by the imperial court were Xiao Yujue's men.
Shangguan Wanning secretly speculated that the team was confronting the imperial court nearby. But no matter what, she got important information from it.
She burned the official documents and ordered her subordinates to arrest the prefect's brother-in-law's family, forcing them to tell where the food they had hoarded was placed.
When Shangguan Wanning brought people to find the food, she couldn't help but sigh secretly.
There are hunger outside, and some of the food here is moldy.
She immediately asked her subordinates to go to the street to beat drums and yell at the city gate street to distribute free food.
When the people heard the noise, they came out of their homes one after another. Shangguan Wanning asked the people to select a few prestigious gentry and help distribute rice together.
"Miss..." The entourage ran towards Shangguan Wanning.
He held a long sword in his hand, his hair was a little messy, and his arms were still bleeding.
"What happened?"
"That prefect... bastard, his brother-in-law brought people to save him and rescued him. Miss, this place is his territory after all, and we are weak, so it may be unfavorable. Let the subordinates wait for you first to escort you
Let's leave."
As soon as the follower finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves.
Shangguan Wanning looked back and saw the magistrate and a group of yamen runners rushed towards the crowd who were distributing rice.
He pointed at Shangguan Wanning and others and shouted loudly: "You bold thieves actually dare to make trouble on the head of Tai Sui Master. Come and kill someone!"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the yamen runner holding a steel knife surrounded Shangguan Wan.
Shangguan Wanning had eight followers standing in front and back, protecting her in a safe area.
"Hmph, Shangguan Wanning, Princess Anning." The prefect turned over immediately, "You are so good, you don't want to do it, but you want to rebel with Xiao Yujue. Even if I kill you today, the emperor will not blame me."
The prefect felt a little frustrated when he thought of being forced to eat so much rice.
He has been an official here for many years, and it has become a habit to act arrogantly and bless him. When has he suffered such humiliation?
"Kill them!"
"ah!"

Chapter 417: He's dying
As soon as the prefect finished speaking, before his yamen runners had time to take action, they heard a scream from behind.
The yamen runner at the end fell to the ground with blood on his head, and a strong man next to him was holding a shoulder pole high.
Everyone was stunned.
"My fellow villagers, what are you waiting for? Haven't you been bullied by this dog official enough in recent years? I don't care who this girl is, in short, if she can stand up and send us rice, that's a good person."
"Yes, they can't be killed."
As he said that, the people who were queuing up to receive rice were ignited and they picked up the items they could use and beat the yamen runners.
The yamen runners had not received any special training, and they usually rely on the support of the government to make a living.
Now, facing the excited people, they can only run away with their heads in their arms.
"Capture the king first."
Shangguan Wanning gave the order, and the four followers beside her immediately rushed towards the prefect.
Seeing this, the prefect turned around and wanted to run away.
"Kill." Shangguan Wanning ordered without hesitation.
When the follower heard this, his hand raised his sword and fell, the magistrate's head was different.
The yamen runners were quickly beaten to run around, and Shangguan Wanning quickly restored order.
All day long, the hungry people finally brought back the food.
When he was in charge of the lantern, Shangguan Wanning invited local wealthy merchants and gentry, as well as rice merchants designated by the imperial court, hoping to resume daily operations and make the people's lives normal.
"Girl, we also hope to be like before. But..."
These people had already touched their heads in advance before coming, and the representatives of the squire raised common concerns.
"Now, we have become accomplices in killing the imperial officials, and the imperial court will definitely not let us go. Moreover, I heard that the Crown Prince's team is about to come, so we..."
"Everyone, the court is corrupt and officials are incompetent. Even the current emperor is not justified in succession. His Royal Highness is the true emperor. If you are willing to stand on his side, the little girl is not talented and willing to be before the team arrives.
Go and meet with the generals in the team."
"I can assure you that they will never let the city attack and will never hurt the people's hair."
"With this girl's words, we'll feel at ease."
Everyone raised their glasses to toast Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wanning didn't expect that she could win a city while waiting for her father.
The next morning, she selected two entourages to go out of the city to meet with the team that came to attack.
The three of them rode their horses and finally found the team in the evening.
Shangguan Wanning stood on the hillside and looked at the camp not far away.
The sunset is setting, the afterglow is over, and the smoke from cooking is curling.
A burst of sadness surged inexplicably in her heart.
