Chapter 231 Is the Princess going out today?
Although Mu Ruixi and others wanted to teach them a lesson, it would be better for them not to turn against them before they had a clear understanding of the situation in southern Xinjiang.
"National Master's Mansion, is the princess going out today?" Captain Wang looked at Shi'an and others with a flattering look on his face.
Shi'an and Mu Ruixi exchanged a glance and nodded calmly, "Mr. Wang, His Majesty has always been concerned about the drought in southern and western Xinjiang."
"Yes, yes, yes." Captain Wang nodded hurriedly.
"My husband went to the west to do disaster relief because he couldn't get away. Now the situation in the south is unclear, and we can't eat or sleep well." Mu Ruixi said calmly.
When Captain Wang heard Mu Ruixi say this, he looked at the expressions of Shi'an and others and immediately knew what had happened.
Yang Kai prayed secretly that these people were not so easy to fool. He hoped that they would not meddle in other people’s business, otherwise they would not blame him for being ruthless.
No matter if it was the imperial teacher or the queen, even if it was the emperor, she would still fight for it.
I, Wang Baihu, am a god here! Earth! What he wants to do is the emperor of Southern Xinjiang.
Thinking of this, Captain Wang felt relieved and still had a smile on his face.
"The princess is absolutely right. We are blind. I wonder where the princess and the imperial envoy are going?" Captain Wang said flatteringly.
Shi'an pondered for a moment and replied, "Regarding the Imperial City, the southern border has suffered from drought for three consecutive years, and the people are living in dire straits. Your Majesty has exempted taxes for three years and opened the granaries to provide relief to the starving people. If that is the case, then we will continue along the Nanming City."
When Captain Wang heard this, he was overjoyed. He had already sent someone to handle the formalities when he heard that an imperial envoy was coming.
At this time, she must have seen the scene of distributing porridge to help civilians.
Even if Shi'an and others were to go from Nanming City to a small town below, there would probably be more people coming down.
So Captain Wang was not in a hurry at all, and happily talked to Mu Ruixi and the others about the current situation in southern Xinjiang.
She also understood that the South had indeed experienced a lot of hardships in the past three years. She must have understood this, so she pretended to be poor and destitute.
Mu Ruixi and the others were able to keep their composure and remain calm.
However, Zhang Shuhe couldn't listen any longer. He interrupted Captain Wang and said, "If you feel so poor, how could you have eaten so many delicious foods at the banquet last night?"
"Well, well, I just want to treat everyone to a meal, so I usually don't do this." Captain Wang looked at Zhang Shuhe with embarrassment.
Zhang Shuhe and the others admired Captain Wang's shamelessness and did not expect him to say such words, but since things had come to this, they could not say anything more.
Seeing that Mu Ruixi and the others didn't try to stop him, Zhang Shuhe became even more presumptuous. "Mr. Wang, when I came to Southern Xinjiang, how come I saw so many refugees begging for food?"
"May I ask Mr. Wang, I feed the people, and I only have one question: why can we live a good life while my parents still have to beg for food?!"
As soon as Zhang Shuhe asked the question, Mu Ruixi and the others secretly praised him in their hearts.
Captain Wang didn't expect that Prime Minister Liu's daughter looked weak and gentle, but her mouth was so vicious.
This time, Captain Wang was completely speechless.
"How could this be?"
Captain Wang wanted to speak but stopped himself.
Mu Ruixi also understood that she couldn't push Captain Wang any further at this time, so she pretended to help Captain Wang out, "Mr. Wang, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go down quickly and don't let anyone follow us."
"I'll do it right away." Captain Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and retreated.
As soon as he went out, a cold light flashed in Captain Wang's eyes.
Judging from Mu Ruixi and Shi'an's reactions, he knew that Mu Ruixi and the others were acting.
Captain Wang sneered, then called one of his men over and whispered a few words into his ear.
……
Captain Wang followed Shi'an's instructions and did not send anyone to accompany him. He and Mu Ruixi and others just put on casual clothes.
After leaving the post station, a group of people walked slowly towards the market in Nanming City, but found that the market in this city was very deserted and there was not even a stall.
From the east city to the west city, there are only two shops, and each portion of rice costs about five taels.
Apart from this, there was nothing else. Mu Ruixi and others took another look at those poor families and realized that these poor people were really poor.
An ordinary family has only a bed, a set of tables, a chair, and an empty can, nothing else.
As for food, it was some ordinary wild vegetables.
This is still within the city of Nanming, not to mention the surrounding villages and towns.
Mu Ruixi and his group found a place called Soup Shop in the market.
The shops in the city and prefecture were packed with poor people who came to get porridge. The number of them was so large that it was simply shocking.
Based on her experience in her previous life, Mu Ruixi didn't think Captain Wang would be that good, so a group of people gathered around him.
But when those poor people looked at their porridge, they found that the porridge in their hands was not porridge at all.
When Mu Ruixi saw that there were only a few grains of rice in the basin of water, she felt that this was a kind of alms and couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger.
It’s more like rice water!
"Captain Wang!" The people of the Mu family were in no mood to beat around the bush with Captain Wang.
When Captain Wang heard Mu Ruixi calling him coldly, he knew that Mu Ruixi was very dissatisfied with his attitude, but he didn't understand what Mu Ruixi wanted to talk to him about.
"I'm here, what's the matter?" Captain Wang made up his mind that if Mu Ruixi wanted to hurt him, he would make her pay the price.
You know, Captain Wang just spoke to Gu Yiming last night.
What Gu Yiming meant was that no matter what, the two of them could not be allowed to return safely to the imperial city from the south.
Wang Bai has Gu Yiming's support behind him, so he is fearless. Therefore, although he is panicked at the moment, he is not very afraid, because he firmly believes that people like Mu Ruixi will never attack him easily.
It would be fine if Mu Ruixi was from the north.
However, like Shi'an, she comes from the same era and is not influenced by the concepts of this era.
In her previous life, those disgusting movies and bad dramas made Mu Ruixi understand an obvious fact.
If he is an evil person, he will be killed with one blow, leaving no room for him.
So, Mu Ruixi had the idea of killing Captain Wang.
Shi'an also came from the modern era. When he saw Mu Ruixi's expression, he guessed what she was planning.
Although he noticed that Captain Wang had deployed a lot of troops nearby, it didn't have much effect.
Since we are carrying an imperial decree and we are at the market, let’s just do it.
So, Shi'an narrowed his eyes slightly and pretended that he saw nothing.
