Chapter 215 What you are doing now is all fake
The man who was wolfing down the steamed buns glanced at Song Jiuli meaningfully.
Then he said nothing and ran to the side to continue eating.
He didn't care even if his mouth was burned.
How could these girls who grew up in pampered circumstances understand the sadness of a man from the lower class like him?
The people who were standing behind him were looking at him with envy, and they all couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Song Jiuli felt as if something had hit her heart, and her eyes felt sore and uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law, I finally understand why you do this."
"Then you should be more careful."
Jiang Wan served the old man a bowl of porridge, which was almost the same as the one he had just given.
Song Jiuli, who was standing aside, was impressed by this fair look. Only the elder sister-in-law could achieve what she has today.
The process of distributing porridge was still going on. Song Jiuyuan stood beside Jiang Wan with a deep expression. She looked very beautiful when she was serious.
But this beauty has become a target of attack in the eyes of some people with ulterior motives.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, but suddenly someone in the crowd shouted.
"It's all because of this dog prince that we are homeless!"
Almost in an instant, Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan locked their eyes on a certain direction at the same time.
"Song Yi, find the person out!"
There was frost in Song Jiuyuan's eyes, and Song Yi also quickened his pace and rushed into the crowd in a few quick steps.
However, this was organized and premeditated, with one person starting trouble and others following suit.
"Your Majesty, you could have come to Qucheng earlier, why haven't I seen you for so long?"
"My mother is starving. If she could have a bowl of porridge like this, she wouldn't have frozen to death."
"What's the point of your hypocrisy now?"
“…”
The emotions of the common people are the easiest to be incited. Jiang Wan put down the spoon in his hand.
"Since you think the prince is being hypocritical, and it seems that you don't need these things, then get out!"
She has never been a merciful person, and seeing this, the others also stopped distributing the food.
Song Jiuli even echoed: "If you have any objections to us, get out of here.
We can’t be like Mr. Dongguo, who asks you not to starve but still gets scolded! "
Everyone: ...
When those who were incited calm down, those with ulterior motives seem a little out of place.
They were soon caught by Song Yi, and several people were caught one after another, led by a skinny man.
The man was so thin that he was almost unrecognizable, with deeply sunken eyes. Sun Zhubo recognized him at the first sight.
"Skinny monkey?"
The skinny monkey quickly shrank his neck, tugged at his clothes in panic, and pretended not to hear.
"Do you know him?"
Song Jiuyuan's brows darkened, and Sun Zhubo hurriedly explained.
"They are all from Qucheng. Skinny Monkey often does some sneaky things and is often sent to the government office."
"So he's a repeat offender."
Jiang Wan gave Song Yi a look, and Song Yi threw him to the ground, then grabbed his neck and said:
"Tell me, who ordered you to cause trouble?"
No one spoke, and the skinny guy looked unmoved.
Jiang Wan shook the rice spoon in her hand and said, "It's not that Your Highness is cruel, it's just that we don't want to share our food with people with ulterior motives.
If we don't find out who caused the trouble, what will you do if you take poison and harm us?"
She looked innocent, but easily ignited the anger of the people. Everyone looked at Shouhou and others.
"Skinny monkey, please tell me, we are so hungry."
"Zhu Zi, your mother is here. Go check on her. She's about to faint from hunger."
"Speak now, the prince is a good man, you shouldn't slander them."
“…”
The starving people smelled the fragrance of porridge in the air and wanted to open the pot to drink it.
A few young men couldn't bear it anymore and looked at the skinny monkey pleadingly, but the skinny monkey remained calm and composed, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Song Jiuyuan sneered, "You don't want to tell me, right? Anyone who is related to them is not allowed to receive food!"
This one sentence made everyone in the crowd even more angry, as these seven or eight people had more than just one or two relatives.
There were dozens or even hundreds of direct relatives each, and they all cursed and spit on them at the same time.
"Skinny monkey, you beast, you can't just ignore your baby."
"He is not my son. I didn't give birth to a child like him!"
"My husband, my husband, look at us. My parents are so hungry that they can't even walk."
“…”
Listening to the pleading cries of his relatives, the skinny monkey's dead eyes showed a little more emotion.
But thinking about the man who saved his life, he gritted his teeth and turned his face away, pretending not to see it.
At this moment, the young man next to the skinny monkey knelt down in front of him.
“Brother, please, even if you give us silver, we can’t buy food.
Our whole family depends on these relief grains to survive, so just admit it."
“Brother!”
"Brother, help!"
“…”
Several young men all knelt in front of the skinny monkey, and the skinny monkey's cold heart began to soften.
He raised his eyes stubbornly and looked at Song Jiuyuan, "I said, can you let them go?"
"You have to take responsibility for the mistakes you made."
Song Jiuyuan has a cold personality, even though their behavior at this moment is touching.
But he knew very well that if there was no price to pay for making mistakes, Dafeng would be in chaos.
Jiang Wan gently tugged at Song Jiuyuan's sleeve and suggested softly:
"You guys will have to accept the punishment, but if you tell the truth, your family won't be in trouble. How about that?"
"Can you really let our family go?"
There were tears in the skinny monkey's eyes. He covered his face with his hands, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Facing Jiang Wan's beautiful eyes, Song Jiuyuan's tone softened, "Yeah."
"Hurry up and tell me, or the prince will regret it if you hesitate any longer!"
Sun Zhubo reminded him in a low voice, and the skinny monkey wiped his tears and spoke with difficulty.
"It's County Magistrate Zhou."
I'm sorry, brother, he is also doing this for his family.
"Zhou County Magistrate?"
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
At first they thought they were the family of County Magistrate Fu, but they never expected it to be the cowardly County Magistrate Zhou.
"Song Yi, take Qingshan to Zhou's house."
Song Jiuyuan's dark eyes were filled with coldness, making anyone who approached them feel chilled.
Song Yi took Qingshan away, while Ren Bang tied Shouhou and others together.
The porridge distribution continued, and the people were now more sincere, taking the porridge and bowing deeply to them.
"Thank you, Princess."
I don’t know how they determined that she was Song Jiuyuan’s wife. Now everyone was calling her Princess, making Jiang Wan’s pretty face turn red.
The fragrant smell of porridge spread everywhere, and Skinny Monkey and his men were tied up next to the porridge stall.
I could see everyone drinking the porridge they received, and I could also see everyone eating the steamed buns in big mouthfuls.
Song Jiuyuan did not break his promise and did not make things difficult for their families, but he did make them suffer.
For a few people who were almost going crazy with hunger, smelling the fragrance in the air was simply overwhelming.
What's more, they have to accept the resentment of the people, and every person who passes by will spit at them.
This is even more painful than killing them.
