She said that this was the result of a few people looking down on Lin Yuxin, and Lin Yuxin knew this, so she used this to make them bleed.
Several people looked at each other, and then reluctantly began to take out banknotes from their pockets.
You take one, I take one, and together we actually make a thousand taels.
When Lin Yuxin saw this, her eyes lit up, and she said that there must be money among these officials. And it turned out to be true?
Now it’s rich! Hahaha!
Lin Yuxin ignored the gloomy faces of several people, snatched the banknotes from their hands, counted them, and found that there were exactly one thousand taels.
She shook her head, handed the position to the person waiting impatiently across from her, and said with a smile:
"Master, you've been waiting for a long time. Please keep this. Shall we go in?"
The official took the banknote and counted it. It was exactly one thousand taels, no more, no less. He was delighted and didn't care that he had been kept waiting for so long. So he waved his hand, looked at Lin Yuxin meaningfully and said:
"Go ahead! But there are so many of you, it might not be easy to get in!"
"Thank you, sir. We won't stay long. We'll be leaving in two days!"
Lin Yuxin lowered her eyelids, suppressed the dark light in her eyes, and explained softly to the official.
[You are so proud of yourself! No matter how much you eat now, you will have to vomit it out. ]
"Okay, okay, come on in!"
The official had the money in his hand, so he waved his hand impatiently and let them in.
Lin Yuxin lowered her head and said something to Zhao Yi, who nodded in response and turned to the team behind him.
Not long after, the lightly armed soldiers at the back quietly collected all their weapons.
Afterwards, Lin Yuxin returned to the car, and the team began to move towards the city gate. The officers at the city gate did not check carefully because they had paid money.
Lin Yuxin and her group did not show any signs of trouble this time and entered the city smoothly.
When I passed by the disaster victims at the city gate, I could still hear their cries for help.
[Just wait a bit, I will definitely take care of you. ]
Lin Yuxin suppressed her emotions, closed her eyes, and ignored it.
Xiao Hao held Lin Yuxin's hand and pursed his lips without saying a word.
"Princess, where are we going next?"
After entering the city, Zhao Yi stepped forward to inquire. The princess had just asked them to put away their weapons and travel light into the city, so she must have some plan.
"Go directly to the government office!"
Lin Yuxin said without hesitation.
With so many of them entering the city, the prefect will find out sooner or later. Instead of waiting for him to confess first, it is better to strike him straight in and catch him off guard, leaving him with nowhere to hide.
"yes!"
Walking all the way to the government office, Lin Yuxin opened the car window and looked toward the outside.
The streets were deserted, but there were still people walking around, and I could hear them talking from time to time.
"Master, we are running out of food. If we don't buy more food, we will have nothing to eat!"
The woman carrying the basket looked at her husband walking in front of her with a sad face and said worriedly.
"I know, it's the food store. Food now costs one tael of silver per pound. How can we afford it?"
The man was sweating all over his face, but he could not help but reply, their family was not rich, who could afford to eat this one tael of silver and one pound of food! !
"What should we do? Water is expensive! Isn't this going to kill us?"
The lady couldn't help crying!
"Okay, let's eat less every day. We can live one more day. With corrupt officials in power now, I'm afraid that Jibei City is doomed."
The man sighed and said with a sad face.
"Woo woo woo! Mom, I'm hungry! I'm so hungry!"
A little girl, about 20 years old, was led by her mother and walking aimlessly on the street. Perhaps the girl was so hungry that she couldn't help crying and pulled her mother.
"Yaya, don't cry, it will pass if you bear it for a while! Be good!"
The woman pursed her lips, her eyes reddened, she squatted down, and whispered to comfort her daughter.
She had no choice. Ever since the family ran out of food, her husband no longer wanted them, saying that they were a burden. He himself didn't even have enough to eat, yet he had to support two money-losing girls. He then took all the money in the house and left.
Leaving them an orphan and a widow with nothing to eat, they have been hungry for days. If they continue like this, they will really starve to death. Today they want to try their luck and see if they can find something to eat.
Lin Yuxin looked at the girl and snorted, then she stopped crying and followed her mother.
She tightened her grip and suddenly felt her hand being pulled. She looked down and saw Xiaohao, who looked like he had something to say. She loosened her grip, touched his face, and asked:
"If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Sister, I have some food here. Can I give it to that girl?"
Xiao Hao asked, pinching the cake in his hand.
Lin Yuxin looked at the cakes he was kneading in his hands, shook her head and whispered:
"Xiaohao, do you know how many people in the whole north have no food to eat? You can see that they are all very poor today. You gave the cakes to that girl, but where is her mother? And what about the other disaster victims?"
"A single serving of pastry can't satisfy hunger or solve the problem. They will still be hungry later. We need to solve the problem from the root."
Xiao Hao lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he spoke:
"Sister, I got it!"
"Well, dear, I'm glad you think so. It shows that our Xiaohao is a kind person."
Lin Yuxin rubbed his head and said with relief.
Xiaohao couldn't smile when his sister praised him this time. The people who had no food to eat and were fleeing for their lives flashed through his mind and left a deep mark on his young heart.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the government office, but the gate was now closed.
Lin Yuxin got off the carriage directly, looked at the door and sneered, it's really great!
"Let someone fence this place off for me so that not even a fly can fly in."
Lin Yuxin spoke in a cold voice.
"yes!"
Zhao Yi responded and took his men to block the door.
"Zhao Er, go knock on the door!"
Zhao Er responded and started knocking on the door. After knocking for a long time, someone finally came to open the door.
"Who is it? How dare you cause trouble at the gate of the government office! Do you want to die?"
A yamen runner opened the door a little, stuck his head in, and shouted impatiently.
Zhao Er didn't waste time talking. He just stepped forward and kicked the door open.
“Ouch!”
The yamen runner was knocked away by the force and fell heavily to the ground, wailing.
"How dare you! Princess Pingning is gone, and you didn't even go to the city gate to greet her. You even locked the gate. Are you planning to make trouble?"
Zhao Er had a fierce look on his face as he shouted inside, his tone filled with inner strength, so his voice traveled far away, and even the prefect Zhong Zuan, who was hugged left and right inside, heard it.
He looked flustered. Princess? What princess?
"Someone, come! What's going on over there? What princess? Why didn't anyone come to report it?"
Zhong Zuan pushed the two women beside him away and yelled at them.
"Oh no! Someone, there's a group of people at the door, saying they're Princess Pingning, they broke the door open and barged in."
At this time, a servant ran in and said in fear.
"Princess? Is it a messenger? Oh no, come on, have someone hide the things in the backyard quickly, quickly!"
Zhong Zuan remembered something and shouted anxiously to the servants.
"yes!"
The servants hurried away to do their work.
