Chapter 614 Forbidden to Eat
The soldier named Xu Li was stunned when he heard Mei Zhao's voice in the thatched cottage.

Eunuch Mei, why are you here?
But he quickly came back to his senses, and smiled all over his face towards Chi Mohan, "General Mo, little princess, please."

Just looking at his different attitudes before and after, Jiang Zhimian knew that there must be something tricky about it.

It's just that the tricky stuff has been hidden by Mei Zhao inside.

So, they have nothing to worry about.

The three of them walked into the thatched hut. There were dozens of people sitting inside. They were all wearing very simple coarse clothes, but they were very clean.

It was a bit too clean.

If people who don't know come in, they will definitely not associate them with places like iron mines, which are dark everywhere.

And seeing that many people don't fit the clothes well, and they stretch out their hands to pull them continuously, making them look very uncomfortable.

Obviously newly put on.

"Mei Zhao joins the little princess, and wishes the little princess good luck and good fortune, always young and beautiful." Mei Zhao said auspicious words.

Jiang Zhimian couldn't hit the smiling face with his hand, so he nodded lightly, "Hello, Eunuch Mei."

Mei Zhao wore an eunuch's uniform embroidered with python today. She looked graceful and luxurious, but she couldn't suppress the cold aura emanating from her face and body.

It was as if he had seen a cobra turned into a man, spitting snake letters in front of him, his cold eyes narrowed slightly.

Jiang Zhimian knew that the eunuch uniform embroidered with python was a gift from the Queen Mother to Mei Zhao.

In ancient times, being able to wear clothes embroidered with python proved the dignity of one's status.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is under one person and above ten thousand people.

But this dress will not be worn out unless it is necessary.

However, Mei Zhao wore it today, and it was still in the iron miner's thatched hut, the purpose is self-evident.

He wanted to tell Chi Mohan his status.

Even if he was coerced for a while and gave up half of the iron ore, he was at home in the court and in the Kingdom of Jin, and he was very proud.

If Chi Mohan wanted to confront him, he was asking for trouble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhimian immediately felt that Mei Zhao was too hypocritical.

Since he wanted to prove that his status was far above Chi Mohan, why did he do these tricky things?
Wouldn't it be contradictory to want to be proud on the one hand and cowardly on the other?
But Mei Zhao didn't think so.

He was proud of what he did, and took the initiative to introduce it to Chi Mohan and Jiang Zhimian, "General Mo, little princess, you just came to the iron mine, and you probably don't know many things, so let me introduce it to you."

After all, he pointed to the room full of people with timid eyes and said, "Not only do they work for three days, but they also have one day off. On this day off, they can also eat roast chicken and stewed pig's trotters. They are all for their bodies, right?" no?"

Everyone's voices were sparse, but they all answered yes.

Mei Zhao nodded in satisfaction, "You all contribute to the Kingdom of Jin, so naturally you want to eat something good, that's all, let's go eat."

He pointed to the roast chicken and pig's trotters on the table not far away, and said softly.

But everyone didn't dare to move, they all looked at things, their eyes were shining, and they kept swallowing, but they didn't dare to move half a step.

Mei Zhao waited for a while, and was really impatient, so she simply stretched out her hand, pinched the orchid finger and tugged at the old lady next to her.

"Old man, let's go eat, you must be hungry?"

"Eat...I'll eat..." The old lady walked forward hesitantly.

And Jiang Zhimian had sharp eyes, and realized that the old lady was the old woman she met when she went to the capital.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and the old woman, who was originally as skinny as a stick, has lost a lot of weight and looks haggard.

It's almost as if the skull is covered with a layer of skin. I don't know if it will hurt your feet when you stand on the ground?
Seeing the old woman walk to the table, Jiang Zhimian stopped him directly, "You can't eat these."

The old woman obviously didn't recognize Jiang Zhimian, but she also heard Mei Zhao calling her the little princess just now.

She still knows what the little princess is, but he is a relative of the emperor.

Would she dare not listen to what the royal relatives said?
And seeing Jiang Zhimian's serious expression, he was terrified.

"This thing... is poisonous?" She asked tentatively.

Who knew that as soon as the words were said, those people around immediately exploded, running around in fright, pushing me and pushing you, the scene was not to mention too chaotic.

No wonder they suddenly don't have to work, don't have to wear such dirty and smelly clothes, and have roast chicken and pig's trotters to eat.

It turned out that this was their last meal!

Mei Zhao's face turned green, but she didn't want to get angry with Jiang Zhimian, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Little Princess, I bought these things on the street, and I didn't do anything wrong, so you can't wrong me."

Jiang Zhimian spread his hands innocently, "I didn't say you were poisoned, it's just that the old lady suspected it. It's because everyone doesn't trust you."

Speaking of which, it was Mei Zhao's own problem.

If everyone trusted Mei Zhao's words, how could they be so frightened by the old woman's suspicious words?

Seeing that Mei Zhao could not get off the stage, Xu Li who was next to him hurriedly said, "This is because Mr. Mei doesn't come to the iron mine very often, so everyone is not familiar with Mr. Mei. You can eat whatever you want. This food is not poisonous, you know Yet!"

The last sentence, with a little threat, successfully suppressed everyone.

They didn't dare to run around and shout anymore, approached the table one by one, picked up the things on it and started to eat.

The old woman quickly picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth.

Jiang Zhimian stopped again, "You can't eat."

Turning to look at Xu Li, he asked, "Is there any porridge? Steamed buns or something like that."

"Little Princess, what are you doing? Can't the old man eat some delicious food? Porridge and steamed buns are not very tasty." Mei Zhao asked puzzled.

What kind of tricks is this little Princess Nanzhao playing on the way?

But Jiang Zhimian's face was still serious, "Just do what you want, and if you ask for some reason, you will have a hard time."

That's all for now, experience it yourself.

Mei Zhao didn't want to continue asking, because she was worried that she would really find out some reasons that would make her lose face.

Give Xu Li a look, "Aren't you going to do what the princess said?"

Xu Li agreed, and hurried out.

And the old woman looked at others eating very deliciously, and she was a little ready to move.

That's roast chicken and pig's trotters. If it's not poisonous, it's a delicious piece of meat, countless times more delicious than gruel and white steamed buns.

Why can others eat it, but I have to eat porridge and white steamed buns?
Thinking about it, the old woman raised her head, pleading in her eyes, "Princess Princess, I want to eat these too, please agree."

"It's not suitable for you to eat these now." Jiang Zhimian persuaded tactfully.

"Why?" The old woman asked the reason in confusion.
