The next day, Pei Ruoxuan called the manager over.
The manager was slightly surprised, but he quickly suppressed his curiosity.
"Sir, what do you want me to do?" The steward stood aside politely.
Pei Ruoxuan handed him a packet of seeds and said, "Here are some millet and sorghum seeds. You can distribute them to the people."
"In order to ensure that they can be fed, bring someone who knows how to grow crops to teach them."
The steward looked down at the seeds in his hand. They were heavy and he felt like he was shouldering a heavy responsibility.
Since the adults value him so much, he must do a good job in this matter.
He vowed, "Please rest assured, sir. I will arrange it right away."
As the steward turned around, Pei Ruoxuan stopped him. "Wait."
"If anyone causes trouble, take Xiao Yi over there."
There are always some people who refuse to obey discipline, and when necessary, force must be used.
Xiao Yi is the one with the highest fighting power among their group. With him around, things will be handled more safely.
The steward hesitated, "But, sir, your safety..."
He knew that these days, there were always restless people coming to disturb Pei Ruoxuan.
Pei Ruoxuan understood his concerns, but the seeds were more important.
He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "No problem."
Since the other party said so, the person in charge didn't say much.
Under Pei Ruoxuan's management, in just one month, the public security in Youzhou City was stabilized, taxes were reduced, and people's lives were getting better and better.
Their favorable impression of the newly appointed prefect grew, and they gradually cooperated with Pei Ruoxuan's management.
At night, the scorching heat of the day has long subsided, and the cool breeze makes people feel comfortable.
At this time, some people were restless and unable to sleep.
Fang Yu saw everything Pei Ruoxuan did in the past month.
He once won the support of the people.
And now all of this has been taken away by Pei Ruoxuan.
He was unwilling to accept the fact that all this had to fall on the newcomer Pei Ruoxuan.
In the past, Youzhou City achieved its current success because of his management.
"Come here, go and teach him a lesson." Fang Yu sneered.
He just learned that the martial arts master beside Pei Ruoxuan had left.
Now is a good time to take action.
"Yes, sir." Two people who looked like guards flashed and disappeared before his eyes.
One night, Pei Ruoxuan was handling affairs in the study as usual.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in from the window.
The wind made the windows rustle, and Pei Ruoxuan looked and felt that it was going to rain.
He closed the window tightly and when he turned around, someone put a knife to his neck.
The man was dressed in black and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
The cold knife was pressed against the skin, and if one turned his head slightly, his neck would be injured.
His heart tightened, but he quickly calmed down.
This man should not have wanted to take his life, otherwise he would have killed him with a single blow of the knife.
"Brave man, take whatever you want." Pei Ruoxuan pretended to be frightened and said tremblingly.
Upon hearing this, the man kicked Pei Ruoxuan.
I express my disdain for his cowardly behavior.
He exchanged glances with another man in black, who was flipping through the books in the study without any scruples.
He found a package and dumped out its contents.
There was a bag of silver in the package. He weighed it and put it in his arms.
Just as he was about to look through it, he heard footsteps outside the door.
Someone is coming.
The man in black standing next to Pei Ruoxuan took out a bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into the other's mouth.
In order to prevent him from calling out, he simply knocked the man unconscious.
Then they left. The two men in black cooperated with each other tacitly, jumped up, and disappeared from the study.
The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. The man suddenly pushed open the study door and said excitedly: "Sir, there is good news."
It turned out that it was the manager who came to see Pei Ruoxuan.
When he saw Pei Ruoxuan lying on the ground, his voice stopped abruptly.
He quickly squatted down and put his hand under Pei Ruoxuan's nose to test.
Noticing that the other person was still breathing, he kept shaking him. "Master Pei, please wake up."
Pei Ruoxuan seemed to be asleep and ignored his calls.
His voice attracted Mu Qinglan, and she hurried over.
"Ruoxuan, what's wrong with you?" There was anxiety in his voice.
Together with the steward, she dragged Pei Ruoxuan to the bed in the next room.
"Ms. Mu, don't worry, the doctor will be here soon."
Mu Qinglan held Pei Ruoxuan's hand tightly, not wanting to let go. "I'll accompany him first, you go and do your work."
Seeing this, the manager stopped admonishing him.
He felt relieved with Mu Qinglan around.
He still needs to investigate the matter of Pei Ruoxuan's injury.
About a quarter of an hour later, the doctor came in carrying a medicine box.
Mu Qinglan stood up and greeted the doctor.
The doctor yawned and put the medicine box on the table.
He had just rested for a short while when he was awakened by someone saying that the prefect was unconscious.
He was somewhat dissatisfied at being woken up, but when he heard that the prefect was unconscious, he packed up his things and rushed over.
They in Youzhou City have finally waited for a good official who cares about the people. If he dies like this, it will be a loss for their people.
The doctor took Pei Ruoxuan's pulse and lifted his eyelids. His face became increasingly gloomy.
Mu Qinglan's heart began to hang in the air when he caught a glimpse of the doctor's face.
"Doctor, what is Ruoxuan's illness?"
"Miss, Master Pei has been poisoned by a rare and severe poison."
