The sharp princess: singled out the cold and charming prince

Chapter 574 What About Disaster Relief Funds
"That's pretty good, too."

"roll!"

The two came down from upstairs with a smile on their faces. The old woman had prepared some simple meals and was waiting for them downstairs.

There are also two bowls of hot ginger soup on the table.

"Come, come, drink the ginger soup first."

The two obediently finished the ginger soup on the table, and they felt much warmer.

"Hey, it's raining so much that there's nothing to eat in the whole county. You two look like children from wealthy families, so you can only make do with it now."

The old lady continued to chatter, looking at the rain outside the house that did not intend to stop, looking a little sad.

The food on the table is indeed not less than a hundred times worse than the delicacies they usually eat, but here, it should be considered good to have something to eat.

The two picked up the rice, and after eating a few mouthfuls, Qianye Yunxuan put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, looked at the old man and his wife, and said:
"Grandma, my wife and I are going to do business in other places. We passed by here and saw many people fleeing to other places along the way. Don't the local officials give you relief money?"

Hearing Qianye Yunxuan's question, Mu Yifei also stopped the chopsticks in her hand.

It just so happens that now, while chatting, I can find out something from the mouths of the common people.

Hearing Qianye Yunxuan's question, the old lady's eyes showed some anger, "I said why do you two want to come to this ghost place, so you are passing by."

She sighed, looking a little annoyed, and said: "I won't mention the relief money. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who can control this? Maybe the emperor doesn't know that there is a flood in Hongwu County, so how could he still distribute it?" What kind of disaster relief money is here?"

"Look, if there is some disaster relief money here, the common people will not flee to other places one by one."

In the end, the anger in the old lady's eyes became slightly stronger.

Hearing this, Qianye Yunxuan frowned slightly, and a fleeting cold light slid across his eyes.

In the next second, Mu Yifei looked up at the old lady and said, "Old lady, did the government give you any relief money?"

"Rely on the government?"

Seeing that Mu Yifei mentioned the government, the old lady's face became even more angry, "The magistrate said that the court didn't allocate relief funds, and he couldn't do anything about it. The common people who came to ask for orders were all arrested and thrown into prison. Now, the common people dare not speak out, and some really can't stay any longer, so they can only go to other places to beg. Hey~~~"

Qianye Yunxuan's face became even colder, his thin lips were slightly pursed and he sat on the stool without saying a word, his brows knit into a ball.

Seeing this, Mu Yifei naturally understood what he was thinking, it was obvious that this dog official from Hongwu County had embezzled the imperial court's disaster relief funds.

However, a mere magistrate would not have the guts to embezzle the whole 10 taels of gold for disaster relief. Presumably, there are people with higher strength behind him.

After seeing her silent for a while, she continued: "Grandma, I have a relative who is an official in the capital. I heard from him that the Ministry of Industry had distributed 10 taels of gold to Hongwu County as early as a month ago. Haven't you heard of it??"

Seeing Mu Yifei asking this, Qianye Yunxuan also cast her eyes on the old lady, but saw that the old lady's eyes were a little surprised, and she couldn't believe what Mu Yifei said, "This really happened??!"
