Chapter 491
River County's County Official and Judge Tong panicked. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably,
"Your Highness, please spare me …
" This official knows that I was wrong.
" In the past, there had also been princesses who had come to Jiangnan to play. As long as they were able to eat and drink, they would be able to send away the great Buddha safely. Why was this Wen Xian County?
The Lord was actually in charge of them?
Mu Yunyao turned to look at the mud-stained River County's magistrate and annals.
"I saw that you two sirs' clothes were unclean, but were you busy clearing the river earlier?
"
The magistrate and imperial records of Riverside County were overwhelmed by the question,
"Reporting to the princess, after the river embankment was blown up, Riverside suddenly changed its route. If the river channel was not cleared in time, perhaps half of Riverside City would still be flooded by the flood.
"
"Are the channels unobstructed?
"
"The flood was too severe, and over a third of the civilians were injured. After that, in order to survive, many young adults left, but at this moment, those who could stay were all conscripted to the river, but they didn't have the tools or the materials to reinforce the dikes …
" Even
The food... Over the past ten days, many people had been injured … Princess, were you sent by the imperial government to be in charge of disaster relief? Have you brought the food and medicinal herbs?
"
Jiang Cheng also raised his head to the side and looked eagerly at Mu Yunyao. Seeing her slightly shake her head, the hopeful expression in her eyes gradually dimmed. Hearing that Mu Yunyao did not come to River City on the orders of the imperial government, the panic in the County Official and the judge's heart lessened by quite a bit,
"Princess, please let us go. The most important thing right now is to help the victims.
If you keep us locked up like this, you won't be able to take responsibility if something happens.
"
Mu Yunyao shot a cold glance at the two guards who were holding the officials captive and kicked them to the ground. The longsword in her hand stuck itself into the ground with a 'swoosh' sound, right next to their faces.
A portion of these guards were sent by Grand Princess Yi De, while the other portion was chosen by Eunuch Cheng to meet up halfway. They had all received the favor of Mu Yunyao for Jiang Cha, and knew that Princess Wen Xian was the beloved of King Yue, so they naturally couldn't allow others to bully her.
The two officials who were detained were nearly scared to death,
"Princess, please spare our lives …
" Where did this group of fiends come from? With the sword just now stabbing down, they almost thought they would die.
"Don't worry, my lord. Although I wasn't ordered by the emperor to come to the rescue, I still have a way to gather food and medicine.
"I've already sent some people to contact Ziling City's Neon Cloud Workshop and Nong Lou. There will be relief materials delivered soon.
"
"Neon Cloud Workshop, No Envy Pavilion... May I ask if Princess Mu knows Miss Mu?
"
"I'm Mu Yunyao.
"
"Great, this is great …
"
"It's just that, in the past, it would have taken me an entire day to travel from Tombal City to Riverside City, but now, the journey on the waterway is difficult …
"
"I have some ties with the Xing Shun Bank, and I will entrust them with the transportation of relief materials.
" I have some ties with the Xing Shun Bank, and I will entrust them with the transportation of relief materials. During this half a month, they had been anticipating the imperial government's disaster and were already close to tears from the expectation. However, the imperial government had issued a decree, yet no relief materials had been sent over. If Mu Yunyao had arrived a day or two later, they really would not have been able to hold on.
Got it.
Mu Yunyao looked at River County's County Magistrate and Judgement, whose faces were devoid of color.
"A few people, go and search their manors. Even now, you still have the mood to enjoy singing and dancing in your mansions. It seems like the manors have a rather deep family background.
"
"Yes.
"
Mu Yunyao sneered,
"When it's my turn to be unlucky, I already remember that I'm an official ordered by the imperial government. When I was drinking and having fun, why didn't I think about my actions before?
"Take him away!
"
The guard who went to inspect the two's residences returned,
"Reporting to the princess, the two's residences had nearly a hundred thousand taels of silver. In addition, there is a large amount of food hidden in the cellar.
River County's magistrate book and annals' eyes reddened.
"A few days ago, we specifically asked for help from the two families. They said that the mansion no longer has any rice left …
"
Mu Yunyao frowned. Her fingers gripped the hem of her skirt as she ordered in a cold voice,
"River County's officials have not done anything in front of the great calamity. They don't care about the lives of the commoners. Bring them down and kill them!
"
"Yes.
" The guard immediately seized the two of them and pressed them to the ground with his sword. With a swoosh, the two of them fell with their heads on the ground.
After regaining his senses, he gritted his teeth and spat on the ground,
"These two deserve to die. Thank you, Princess Wen Xian, for ruling for the people. This official will definitely write the reason for their deaths so that the princess won't be in any trouble.
" The others nodded in agreement. Mu Yunyao wasn't afraid of this little bit of trouble, but she wasn't in a good mood so she straightforwardly refused,
"Then I'll thank the four sirs. I'll first prepare the food and make a porridge and distribute it to the victims to ensure they have a appetite. In addition, the corpses on the streets, no matter if it's humans or livestock, will be fine.
We have to deal with it as soon as possible. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If we do not handle it well, I'm afraid there will be an outbreak.
"
"Yes.
"
Mu Yunyao, as a woman, looked especially delicate and slender, but after hearing her words, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace in her heart, as if everything was going to be fine.
Mu Yunyao had brought quite a number of people with her. When the people from Nebula Market and Unjealous Pavilion heard that she had come to Riverside City, they also rushed over. For a moment, they were all in a frenzy.
Although it was difficult for the victims, they did not lose their reason when they saw the chances of survival. They waited for the porridge to be boiled and restrained themselves from going forward to pick it up.
Many of the victims had broken bowls in their hands, and after sharing the porridge, they directly poured the porridge into their mouths, regardless of whether it was hot or not.
Mu Yunyao's tightly knitted brows did not loosen.
"Siqin, send a message to Wan-Er Lou in a while, say that Riverside City, Huai An City, and Yishui City urgently need a doctor. I hope that there are kind-hearted doctors under the heavens who can come and help treat the victims.
"
"Yes, miss.
"
Seeing that Mu Yunyao's lips were dry and cracked, he hurriedly brought the water bag over and said,
"Miss should drink some water to rest. Your face is extremely pale, I still need you to take care of the matter in Riverside City. If you fall, it would really be messy.
"
"I'm fine. Scholar, go investigate and find out why the government's relief supplies haven't arrived yet.
"
"Also, think of a way to spread the news of me killing an official of Riverside City.
"
"Yes.
" Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at the sky. Fourth Master, I, a princess who had just been conferred the title of Crown Prince, publicly killed two officials of the Imperial Court.
