Chapter 221
Wen Chengfeng's clothes were obviously different from those of the refugees. The beggar disguised as a refugee soon found Wen Chengfeng approaching and stopped talking.

But this simple complaint gave Wen Chengfeng a lot of clues. From this, we can know that the number of refugees in the capital is actually not that large, and some of them are beggars who fish in troubled waters.

These beggars are all hired by people, and they are from the government. In addition, Sun Youcai's arrival time is really a coincidence.

This chain is interlocking, it is really scheming!

Wen Chengfeng's face turned black, and when Jiang Dehai arrived with the people from the hospital, the old man had already regained consciousness, so this trip was a waste of time.

"Master, let's go first, if we don't go, Master Sun should notice us."

Although it was late to save people, the people from the medical center followed him. After Jiang Dehai stuffed the money, he quietly pulled Lawen Chengfeng's sleeve and suggested in a low voice.

Mainly because he observed that the crowd around him was gradually subsiding, which was a good time to retreat.

"Okay. Let's go back first and find a chance to bring back a bowl of vegetable porridge. Raw rice is also fine."

Wen Chengfeng let out a heavy sigh of relief, a little unbearable will make a big mess, and now is not the time to tear up his face with Sun Youcai.

The more dangerous Sun Youcai's tactics are, the more it means that the arrest of Liao Yu's line has already hindered the normal operation of the people behind the scenes... I have to be patient!

Wen Chengfeng returned to the palace after he had completed his psychological preparation. In order to relax Sun Youcai's vigilance, he had been going to Sun Jieyu's palace these days.But when he thought of Sun Youcai's suspicious behavior today, a sense of disgust surged in his eyes.

Therefore, until the time of going to bed that day, there was still no news from the Six Palaces, and Jiang Mengyuan thought that the emperor finally woke up from Sun Jieyu's gentle hometown, so she eagerly sent someone to invite her.

But as soon as the sent maid came to the door, she was stopped by Jiang Dehai, who was waiting outside: "The emperor hasn't seen anyone today, so ask the empress how she is well on behalf of the old slave."

Jiang Mengyuan, who got the reply, frowned slightly in frustration, but considering that Wen Chengfeng was probably dealing with political affairs, she simply fell asleep.

Although she is in the harem, she has heard a lot of folk rumors.It is said that the king ruled improperly and was not worthy of being a king, so the disaster came from heaven...

It is obviously not Wen Chengfeng's style of doing things to be passive and passive.Although he wants to fish, it doesn't prevent him from knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

So the next morning, he changed into his court clothes early in the morning, and watched all the courtiers pouring in with great vigor.

"Where is the Minister of the Household Department? It has been a long time since the warehouse was opened to release grain. How is the disaster now?"

Now Sun Youcai's mind is full of those old and weak women and children who have been poisoned, and he was already in a trance.Unexpectedly, as soon as he went to the court, the emperor would bear the brunt of calling his name.

It wasn't until he faintly felt his sleeves being pulled slightly, and raised his eyes to meet Wen Chengfeng's sharp eyes, that Sun Youcai tremblingly came out to answer.

"The minister is here. It has been three days since the granary was opened to release grain. The granary has sufficient storage, and the food and clothing of the victims are guaranteed. I believe that after the reconstruction of their homes, they will return to their original places soon..."

Wen Chengfeng looked at Sun Youcai condescendingly. This person has been in power for many years. If it weren't for Liao Yu's matter, he really wouldn't doubt this kind of old official.

But now that things have come to this point, he can still stand here without changing his face and tell himself not to report, or even make a false report.It can be seen from this that the officialdom is really a big dye vat...

"Emperor?" Sensing Wen Chengfeng's gaze, Sun Youcai asked nervously.

"But how did I hear that there was a problem with the food for the disaster relief, and the people who ate it were vomiting and diarrhea, and were dying?"

Wen Chengfeng calmly withdrew his gaze and turned on the torture mode.

As soon as these words came out, half of Sun Youcai's mind shut down instantly.The main reason is that Wen Chengfeng's words were very vague, and he was not sure whether the emperor really heard it from hearsay or saw it with his own eyes.

"The people are negligent, and the minister is terrified! After the court, the minister will go to check immediately. If there is something wrong, he must be held accountable to the end!"

After weighing the pros and cons, to be on the safe side, Sun Youcai also gave a moderate answer and pleaded guilty to a minor crime.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll invite a few more Aiqings to work with you. There are more people than strength."

Wen Chengfeng cursed the old fritters silently in his heart, and if he opened his mouth again, it made it difficult for Sun Youcai.The few he pointed out were all military generals. Since ancient times, civil servants and military officials have always disliked them, so this contradiction can just be exploited.

Sun Youcai smiled uglier than crying, but this was the emperor's order, and he had to do it, and he could only thank him obediently.

However, the generals that Wen Chengfeng selected were candidates after careful consideration, and the energetic generals immediately blocked Sun Youcai's way, and extended the invitation with a smile.

"Master Sun, it's rare that we can do things together, let's go, go to the granary to have a look? Is there a problem with the food or the health of the refugees?"

Alarm bells rang loudly in Sun Youcai's heart, and now that he was riding a tiger, he could only bite the bullet and take this trip.But before he left, he did not forget to look for help to one of the courtiers who walked out one after another.

The situation in the capital is somewhat turbulent, and the life in Qingshi Town is also not stable.

"Why is the price of rice in Qingshi Town getting more and more expensive? Under the circumstances, Shuntian Restaurant didn't adjust the price, and it must be our shopkeeper Wu Qi and the stall owner's wife who are generous!"

"Haven't you heard? There is a famine in the capital, and granaries are being opened for disaster relief. I heard that the granary is in a hurry. This is definitely an ominous sign. It might be our turn at any time, so hurry up and stockpile grain and rice!"

Cheng Weiyao was serving meals to the diners on the second floor, listening to the chatter, she felt a little alert.Something is not right, the location of the capital is very particular, Qingshi Town is so remote, this year's grain harvest is still clear.

Even if there are other natural disasters that cause a large number of refugees, it is impossible to have no food and famine...

Being at the foot of the emperor, and being able to give birth to a son as smart as Wen Chengyun, Lao Tzu who can sit on the position of emperor is definitely not a simple role.

Cheng Weiyao's brows tightened. When she was about to go upstairs to the shopkeeper's room to discuss with Wen Chengyun, she happened to pretend to be full of enthusiasm with Wen Chengyun who was downstairs.

"What's the matter with Madam looking for a husband? You're in such a rush, watch your steps carefully."

Wen Chengyun brought Cheng Weiyao's slender waist into his arms, avoiding the accident of her falling.Although his tone was gentle, his brows were as slightly sad as Cheng Weiyao.

"Things about the capital..."

Cheng Weiyao stopped after saying a few words, after all, she was in a restaurant, a double-edged sword.If you want to talk, you still have to go back to the shopkeeper's room.
