Chapter 446

Perhaps because they haven't eaten a full meal for a long time, their voices are as thin as mosquitoes.

When the prefect saw the beggars who suddenly gathered outside the door, a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

But soon, he suppressed the emotion in his eyes, and turned to look at Bai Jinchu.

"My lord is full of travel and dust, why not go to the lower official's mansion to rest for a while. How about going to the granary to stock up after the lord has rested?"

"This king came to relieve the disaster at the order of my father, not to rest in your mansion. The magistrate should distribute the food earlier, so I can write a memorial and return to my father."

"This……"

"Why, is the magistrate unwilling to open a warehouse to release food?"

Yuan Hua's voice slowly reached the prefect's ears.

He turned his head to look at Yuan Hua, already guessing her identity in his heart.

Before the magistrate opened his mouth to defend, a man suddenly rushed out of the beggars gathered under the stairs.

"His Royal Highness is wise, the prefect really doesn't want to release grain, he wants to drive up the price of rice."

"That's right, all the rice merchants in this small town belong to him, they are bandits!"

"His Royal Highness, I beg you to be the master for the grassroots, and open the warehouse to release the grain yourself."

Hearing everyone's voices, the magistrate blushed with anger.

Bai Jinchu looked at the people standing under the stairs, then turned his head to look at the prefect, with a cold arc on his mouth: "Master prefect, what they said is the truth?"

"No!" The magistrate looked into Bai Jinchu's eyes and denied it flatly: "His Royal Highness has learned from you, and the lower officials don't have the guts to swallow the disaster relief food from the court."

"Since the magistrate has never thought of taking it for himself, let's open a warehouse to release food!"

Bai Jinchu's voice revealed an undeniable majesty.

The magistrate frowned, and clenched his fists secretly: "Okay, please move the granary with you, His Royal Highness."

After saying a word, the magistrate turned around and walked in front.

The county magistrate nodded slightly to Bai Jinchu, and made a gesture of invitation, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

The beggars hesitated for a moment when they saw them leave.

Seeing them standing still, the man in the crowd suddenly yelled: "Go, let's go and have a look."

The man stepped forward quickly, following the pace of Bai Jinchu and the others.

Seeing him taking the lead, the beggars felt a little less afraid of the magistrate, and followed him one after another.

The town is not big, and the granary is located outside the town.

When Bai Jinchu and others came outside the granary, the magistrate immediately ordered people to go forward and open the granary to release the grain.

The beggars who followed outside the granary were overjoyed to see that the magistrate really planned to open a granary.

But before they were happy for too long, they saw a man come out of the granary in a panic.

He came to the prefect's ear and whispered a few words in a low voice.

The magistrate widened his eyes, and the expression on his face changed a few times.

Bai Jinchu was very satisfied with his reaction.

He turned his head to look at the magistrate, pretending to be ignorant: "Master magistrate, can we release food?"

"This……"

Frowning slightly, the magistrate looked embarrassed.

Seeing him hesitate at the beginning, Bai Jinchu's face darkened suddenly, and he pretended to be annoyed and said, "Why, the magistrate has changed his mind?"

"No...it's not like that, it's..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything!" Bai Jinchu frowned, and turned to look at the beggars behind him: "Since the magistrate is unwilling to order the release of grain, then you can go into the granary and divide up the grain." .”
