"What do you mean? Since the prince has distributed porridge, it is impossible for him to abandon the people of Youzhou."
The county magistrate stood at the gate of the prefect's mansion and spoke loudly.
"My Lord County Magistrate, you said that the prince will not let us starve, right? Everyone knows that the prince is here to borrow food!" A man in brown coarse cloth stood in the crowd and said.
"Now that Youzhou has grain, His Majesty will have to use Youzhou's grain to fill Qingzhou when he returns. What will happen to Youzhou then?"
"Sir, can you guarantee that the prince will not take away our Youzhou's grain?"
The county magistrate was really unsure about this matter.
The county magistrate immediately lowered his eyes and said nothing. The prince came to Youzhou indeed to borrow grain.
"No matter what the circumstances are for the prince to come to Youzhou, the prince will never ignore the people of Youzhou!" The county magistrate raised his eyes with a firm expression.

"My Lord, what's the point of you swearing? Your Highness is the prince and grandson of the emperor. It's just a matter of your Highness's words."
"What's the point of you saying this now? We only want the food to be released, otherwise we will not give up!"
"Yes, rather than letting the entire Youzhou be without food, it would be better to give us the food and also save the people of Youzhou City."
"Since the prince is unwilling to release the grain, we can only do it ourselves!"
"you……"
Just as the group was about to rush into the prefect's mansion.
Suddenly the door opened from the inside.
Ying Yi kicked the leading man.
The man was kicked out and fell at the gate of the prefect's mansion.
Ying Yi pulled out the supporting role from his waist and placed it around the man's neck.
