Chapter 40 People from the Prime Minister's Mansion Came to Xuzhou
Not far away, a secret agent from the Prime Minister's Mansion had been hiding in the corner and watched the entire process.
He saw clearly how Zhang Yuan died.
I was shocked.
After looking around, I took off my coat, pretended to be a refugee, and lined up to receive compressed biscuits and mineral water.
After getting the things, the spy looked through them for a while and then hurried back towards the prison.
That is the gathering point of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xuzhou.
This princess is very strange.
The imperial court clearly did not send any grain, but they were able to find so much food out of thin air.
Report to the capital immediately.
—
After Zhang Yuan's death, the scene returned to its original order.
Everyone lined up in an orderly manner to receive food.
But a seed of doubt has been planted in their hearts. Could it be that this disaster was really caused by Jiang's army's treason?
And there is Jiang Qingqing's identity.
If she was really the princess of Daliang, why would the court issue a warrant for her?
But if she is not, then where does all this free food come from?
Why did Xu Jifeng obey her orders?
"Okay, forget it. Whoever feeds us is our breadwinner."
"In these troubled times, being alive is good enough."
The woman patted her husband's hand and comforted him.
It seems that when I shouted "Long live" just now, I was just following the crowd, but what I say now is the voice of the majority of people.
The distribution lasted until midnight. Some people came once and then went back to continue queuing.
I’m afraid that there won’t be such a good thing next time.
Fortunately, there were not many people coming, so Jiang Qingqing simply waved her hand and let them distribute the remaining supplies among themselves.
He took Xu Jifeng and others back to the mansion.
Recharge your energy.
They don’t know what kind of difficulties will be waiting for them tomorrow.
In the front hall
Jiang Qingqing had prepared meals long before they were out distributing supplies, and brought them out from the room.
A large plate of chopped pepper fish head, braised pork knuckle, shredded pork with green pepper, pickled vegetables and minced meat...
They are all good dishes to go with rice.
Everyone in the hall looked at the bowls of fragrant rice and their eyes filled with tears of excitement.
It has been a long time since I had a steaming hot meal.
But no one sat down at the table immediately.
A former guard from the Governor's Mansion rubbed his hands together and asked shyly, "Your Highness, can you pack up my portion of the meal and take it away? I have an elderly mother at home who is weak and needs some nourishment."
With his start, everyone started asking.
"Your Highness, please take mine away. My family hasn't had rice in a long time."
"I have young children at home, and I want to pack some rice to make porridge."
Jiang Qingqing then realized that she had not thought it through.
Persuaded:
"Just sit down and enjoy. I'll prepare the food you brought back for you later. Everyone will have a portion of the same dishes."
The guards were afraid that Jiang Qingqing was just comforting them and wanted them to eat quickly.
I couldn't help but ask:
"Are you serious?"
But after asking the question, he immediately regretted it.
Who am I to dare to question His Highness in front of so many people?
Xu Jifeng was about to smooth things over for the guard, but Jiang Qingqing didn't blame him. She just smiled and said:
"Seriously, just eat it."
Then he walked out of the front hall to prepare the meal.
Jiang Yu followed.
"Your Highness..."
Jiang Yu grabbed Jiang Qingqing and said, "I'll help you."
Jiang Qingqing glanced at him and nodded, "Let's go."
She really couldn't carry so many meals.
Why not have an extra free laborer?
Xu Jifeng followed them with his eyes and saw the two of them enter the guest room next door together and then close the door.
Xu Jifeng frowned.
This is His Highness Jiang Yuhe...
"What are you looking at, sir? Come and eat!"
The guards greeted.
Xu Jifeng retracted his gaze and responded, "I'll be right there."
Well, it is understandable that two children of similar age have feelings for each other after going through so many hardships together.
Jiang Qingqing went back and forth several times and moved out more than a dozen stacks of lunch boxes from the room.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, Jiang Yu took out a handkerchief and offered to help her.
Jiang Qingqing was startled and avoided his action.
"do what?"
Jiang Yu handed the handkerchief in his hand to her and asked, "Welp you wipe it?"
"oh."
Jiang Qingqing took the handkerchief from his hand and refused, "I'll do it myself."
Jiang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't insist any longer. He consciously moved the lunch box to the front hall, and then quietly went to the Jiang family army's garrison alone.
The activity of distributing dry food in front of the governor's mansion has been going on for three days.
Everything is as usual.
What Jiang Qingqing and others couldn't understand was that they killed Zhang Yuan, but there was no movement from the Queen Mother.
The calm before the storm.
Waited until the morning of the fifth day.
A big event happened in the city. The third daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the wife of the eldest son actually personally served porridge at the city gate.
That’s hot white porridge!
It is much more precious than steamed buns and dry food, not to mention that the porridge was given to them personally by the noble person.
Therefore, there are very few people queuing in front of the Governor's Mansion today.
"Your Highness, should we go and take a look?"
Jiang Yu asked Jiang Qingqing who was sitting in the main seat. The Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to have suddenly changed its nature and was distributing porridge at the city gate.
The two female relatives sent were Liu Mei and Mo Yunyue.
This is so weird.
There must be some conspiracy.
Jiang Qingqing shook her head. "My advice is to wait and see. Before we know what the other party's purpose is, the more we do, the more mistakes we will make."
Xu Jifeng also agreed with her opinion.
Recently, Jiang Yu has mobilized hundreds of Jiang family soldiers to stand guard outside the governor's mansion.
This is to prevent the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister's Office from coming to kill them.
"I'll call more soldiers over. The situation in Yingzhou is relatively good. I don't think they will launch an attack on Xuzhou in the next few months."
Jiang Qingqing didn't know what she was thinking about.
He stood up and called Jiang Yu who was about to go out.
"Wait, are the prison going to take action tonight?"
"We've almost explored the terrain. Now the Prime Minister's Office has sent someone. If we don't take action now, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Yu turned his head suddenly.
After thinking for a moment, he replied in a deep voice: "Okay."
People on both sides have their own plans.
——
This side of the city gate
Liu Mei's face was full of annoyance, without any concealment.
The sun was so hot that she couldn't open her eyes. She hid under a shed in the distance and looked at this group of dirty refugees.
Disdainfully:
"I really don't know why Father asked me to come here! Can't this kind of thing be left to the servants?"
Mo Yunyue, who was standing next to her, had no expression on her face.
But I also felt the same disgust in my heart.
She was a pregnant woman, carrying the eldest grandson of their Liu family, but she was also a chess piece in Liu Yi's hands.
The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are really a bunch of snakes and rats.
"Go ahead. Do you dare not complete the task assigned by your father?"
Mo Yunyue scoffed.
Liu Mei looked at her departing back, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to help Mo Yunyue drug her, Liu Xubai wouldn't have ignored her, his own sister.
Now he still treats her like this!
Since she could help Mo Yunyue get pregnant, she could also have the baby removed.
"Miss Third, I just heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess is also in Xuzhou now."
The maid's words made Liu Mei's eyes light up.
"You mean, Jiang Qingqing is here too? Where?"
The maidservant answered truthfully, "In the governor's residence."
Liu Mei suddenly laughed out loud, "Great, great! I was just wondering where she'd run off to hide, and she's actually in Xuzhou. Without Liu Xubai this time, I wonder if she'll survive!"
After Liu Xubai was seriously injured by Jiang Qingqing that day, he lost blood and was unconscious for two days.
Just when everyone thought he would never wake up again, the Imperial Physician said they had found a life-saving pill, and this barely saved his life.
He is now recuperating in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Find more people this time. After I finish distributing the porridge, I'll go to the governor's mansion."
"Catch her off guard!"
