Chapter 37 What’s happening in the city?



On the morning of the third day, the carriage finally arrived at its destination - Lingjun.

Xun Niannian looked through the car window at the city gate outside which was getting closer and closer. Her eyes swept to a familiar figure standing under the city gate and paused slightly.

She said "Huh" and turned to look at the man in the carriage. "I just saw a man standing under the city gate. He looked a bit like Su Wu."

Chen Lianhe raised his eyes and glanced at her, then said calmly, "You can remove the words 'a bit like'."

"Ah, it's really Su Wu! He's also in Ling County?"

Su Wu is Chen Lianhe's personal attendant, and Chen Lianhe seems to take him with him wherever he goes.

This time when she came to Lingjun, Xun Nian Nian did not see Su Wu along the way, so she was quite puzzled. Why didn't Chen Lianhe bring Su Wu with him when he came to Lingjun this time?

It turned out that Su Wu arrived earlier than them!

It seems that he has arrived early.

The carriage stopped at the city gate. Su Wu stepped forward and was about to salute the people in the carriage, but he caught a glimpse of Dong Xing sitting next to the coachman and was stunned for a moment.

Dong Xing is the princess's personal maid, why is she here?

Her arrival, does that mean the princess is here too?

Su Wu was very suspicious.

Why would the prince bring the princess to Ling County?

There was a disaster in Ling County, and it's in chaos everywhere. It's not safe here at all!

Could it be that the princess was asking the prince to come?

Although Su Wu had many questions in his mind, he did not dare to ask too many questions. He only respectfully greeted the carriage, "Your Majesty, you are here."

Chen Lianhe lifted the carriage curtain and looked at him, but without getting off the carriage, he asked him, "What's the situation in the city now?"

Su Wu briefly described the situation in Lingjun City.

"Your Highness, when I arrived yesterday, the city was full of starving people, and the people were living in misery. There was chaos everywhere, and people were causing trouble everywhere."

"I have brought some people to restore order, and the situation in the city has improved a lot. In addition, according to your previous instructions, I have arranged for people to set up ten more charity distribution points in the city, and they are currently distributing porridge and steamed buns to the people in the city in an orderly manner..."

In the carriage, listening to the conversation between Su Wu and Chen Lianhe, Xun Niannian raised her eyebrows slightly.

Su Wu came to Ling County ahead of time to maintain order and set up a charity point for the people.

I have to say that Chen Lianhe is really good at shaping his image.

After Ling County was hit by the disaster, the city was in chaos for many days.

As soon as he arrived, the city immediately returned to order.

In addition, the people who had been hungry for many days now had food to eat.

If you knew that all this was done by King He.

King He, who already had a very good reputation in the eyes of the people, must have an even more glorious image!

Oh, Xun Niannian suddenly remembered that it seemed to be mentioned in the book!

During the time that Chen Lianhe was in Lingjun, he did several things.

He first restored order in the city and provided food for the people.

Later, several corrupt officials were executed on the spot.

After returning to the capital, the emperor praised him highly for this.

However, after his conspiracy to rebel and usurp the throne was exposed.

This was revealed in the memorial submitted by the Fourth Prince, which listed his various crimes.

The rice and flour used in the charity distribution points set up under Chen Lianhe's instruction were all snatched from grain merchants in several towns along the way!

As for those corrupt officials who were executed on the spot, they were killed by Chen Lianhe because they discovered some of his secrets!

Thinking of this, Xun Niannian shuddered unconsciously.

At the same time, she felt her neck seemed a little cold.

When he looked up, he found that Chen Lianhe was shifting his gaze from his face to Su Wu outside the carriage.

She wondered.

Did Chen Lianhe look at her just now?

Was the sudden chill on her neck transmitted to her by Chen Lianhe?

Probably not...

After all, she didn't say a word the whole time, so Chen Lianhe shouldn't be able to know what she was thinking, right?
