Prince Jin's Mansion
"Your Highness, she has eaten the poisoned food." The guard below reported.
"But you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Yes. The people down there watched as they devoured all the food bit by bit."
Tang Jingyu's lips curled up, "Very good. Just take that amount every day."
This poison wouldn't kill her immediately, but would slowly accumulate bit by bit, and after half a year, her internal organs would begin to rot. From then on, she would be tormented by the excruciating pain every day until her entire body rotted away and she died.
Anyone who dares to hurt someone he cherishes will have to bear the consequences.
"yes."
"It's just that all the food for that little one was snatched away by someone." The guard was a little nervous when he spoke, fearing that the prince would blame him.
"He is lucky." Tang Jingyu didn't care about the younger one.
The reason he had attacked him before was simply to start with him and start dealing with her. He wanted her to experience the pain of having her loved one framed and unable to save him. He wanted her to personally watch him walk to the guillotine.
Since Gu Fanzhi has taken action together, we have to deal with him together.
Every day, Bei Yutang ate meals with added ingredients. Some people around her were jealous and wanted to have a share, but she refused them all.
Yanzhou
Lei Yuting arrived in Yanzhou with drums and gongs beating all the way. Since the court had not yet distributed food, his arrival was warmly welcomed by the Yanzhou prefect.
The prefect of Yanzhou watched as cartloads of grain were moved into the yard, but they stopped after a short while.
The prefect couldn't help but look at Lei Yuting, "Master Lei, is this all the food we have?"
"Yes, that's all I brought."
The prefect's face immediately fell. He thought that since the Lei family had come all the way here to provide disaster relief with drums and gongs, they must have brought a lot of money and food, but he didn't expect that there was only this little.
This amount of food is not enough to save Yanzhou alone, let alone other provinces.
Lei Yuting pulled the prefect into the inner hall. "Sir, you should be aware of the current situation at the court. The fighting at the southwestern border is intense, and grain has been shipped there long ago. It's probably difficult for Yanzhou and other places to wait for the grain from the court. Right now, the court is in a dilemma because of this matter. When the court's decision is made, I'm afraid that only a small amount of grain will be distributed to various parts of Yanzhou. By then, you will have to find a solution on your own."
The prefect was also a wise man. After hearing what he said, he knew it was the truth and a look of worry appeared on his face. "What should we do?"
"I have a way to solve this problem. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate?" Lei Yuting showed a fox-like smile.
The prefect nodded excitedly, not noticing Lei Yuting's smile at all. Even if he had noticed, he would have just ignored it. The current situation was that as long as the problem could be solved, it would be fine.
"Please ask the prefect to invite several wealthy local families and grain merchants to come here."
The prefect knew what he was going to do and cried, "To be honest, Master Lei, before you came, I had already contacted them and wanted them to donate food. These people have no food left, no food right, and after pushing and shoving, they only produced a few loads of food."
Lei Yuting smiled and said, "Sir, just call them over. I have my own way of making them willingly hand over the food."
"If this can be accomplished, I will thank Master Lei on behalf of the people of Yanzhou." The prefect bowed to Lei Yuting.
"You are very kind, sir. When faced with a natural disaster, we naturally support and help each other to overcome the difficulties together."
