Shangguan Li glanced at Chu Qingxuan lightly, and asked with a hint of disdain, "What can you do to help me?"
Chu Qingxuan raised an eyebrow, confidently lifted her chin, and said, "You'll see when you see it."
The next day, when Shangguan Li opened the door, he saw Chu Qingxuan already waiting for him. Shangguan Li frowned and asked, "Are you really going with me?"
"certainly."
This flood was caused by several months of heavy rain, which submerged many villages. Fortunately, the streets here are located on higher ground and were not flooded.
Chu Qingxuan followed Shangguan Li. On both sides of the street were people who had been starved to the point of being skin and bones. Chu Qingxuan thought of Lord Wang. Lord Wang's fat body was really ironic.
The key point is that he also gave Shangguan Li gold and silver jewelry as gifts!
Chu Qingxuan's face was gloomy. She didn't consider herself a good person, but Lord Wang had gone this far, so he had to be taught a lesson!
"You don't need to be angry. I have a decision to make regarding Lord Wang."
Shangguan Li's eyes were cold and deep. Such a corrupt official should not exist anymore.
"Shangguan Li, is there no food left here?"
"Yes, I am trying to find a way to transport some grain in, but the only way to transport grain has been flooded, so I am still thinking of a solution."
As they talked, Chu Qingxuan and Shangguan Li reached the top. Chu Qingxuan looked down and saw an endless expanse of water.
"It seems there's some trouble," Chu Qingxuan murmured.
They had taken a detour before, which was exactly the opposite of the route used to transport grain.
"I remember that warehouses usually have grain reserves, could you...?"
Shangguan Li looked at Chu Qingxuan and said sternly, "No, you absolutely cannot touch those grains and fodder."
Without a military order, no one can move those grains.
Those who disobey orders will be beheaded.
Shangguan Li wasn't afraid, but he couldn't drag Chu Qingxuan down with him.
The people are certainly important, but it's not a time when we're at our wits' end.
Shangguan Li said quietly, "Since Lord Wang has so much grain, he might have a way, but... he won't help us so easily."
Chu Qingxuan's eyes lit up, "You mean..."
"Do you remember how Lord Wang treated us when we went to the government office before?"
A table full of delicious food.
That means that the government office must have stored the grain that the people need.
"I had Bai Chen search the government office thoroughly, but we couldn't find any trace of the grain hidden there. We don't know where he hid it."
Chu Qingxuan countered Shangguan Li's question, "If it were you, would you hide all this embezzled goods in your own home?"
Shangguan Li shook his head.
"So, you watch me."
When Shangguan Li saw Chu Qingxuan's bright eyes and the confident smile on her face, his heart sank again.
He immediately shifted his gaze away from Chu Qingxuan.
Shangguan Li thought that he might really have gone mad.
Chu Qingxuan didn't see the complicated look in Shangguan Li's eyes; she had already figured out how to get Lord Wang to speak up on his own initiative.
I will take her with me.
On a dark and stormy night, the kitchen of the government office was burned down. The arsonist was Chu Qingxuan.
Hiding in the shadows, Chu Qingxuan saw Lord Wang arrive after hearing the commotion, his face ashen, and she felt a surge of joy.
"Your Excellency, the fire is too intense; we can't salvage anything inside!"
Lord Wang slapped the soldier across the face and shouted sternly, "A bunch of useless trash! Put out the fire now!"
"yes!"
Lord Wang's face was grim. If he found out who did it, he would make sure that the person died without a burial place!
