Her heart felt a little stuffy, and her expression became angry and cold at this moment, but she finally did not move, nor did she ask for the car to stop.
If Guozhou's problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, if she gets out of the car now to feed the dark and thin boy, it will undoubtedly be a death warrant that will make him die faster.
There are many beggars and vagrants on the street. Once she sets a precedent, more and more pitiful people will gather around her.
Will you help me when the time comes? How will you help me?
If they only helped the thin and dark boy, as soon as their carriage left, someone would probably surround him and beat him up and take the food away from his mouth.
At this time, Si Muqiao could only harden his heart and pretend that he saw nothing.
Murong Qingli, who was sitting next to her, naturally noticed all the changes in her expression.
He felt more and more that Si Meiren was a smart person.
Although she looks stupid on weekdays, she is always clear-headed when it comes to the critical moment.
This is not a time to be sympathetic.
"Where is your Lord Wang usually at times like this?" Murong Qingli's question came from the carriage.
"My Lord, it should be in the prefect's house."
"Guo Fu, hurry up!"
"yes."
"Tell me, what is the matter that brought you here to see me?" Murong Qingli asked again.
"Sir, the imperial envoy is a good man. Are you...are you really here to help the imperial envoy?" the man asked bravely.
"Yeah." Murong Qingli nodded lightly.
"Your Excellency, I have something important to report."
"It's like this. I'm Zhang Daqiang, a villager from the nearby Liushui Village. Because of the natural disaster, my family couldn't make ends meet, so I came to Guozhou to make a living and earn a living."
"But after working so hard for a month, the owner found an excuse to kick me out and didn't even pay me a cent."
"I have parents, a wife and children to support at home. I have no money or food. How can I explain myself when I go back?"
"So I thought about reporting it to the police, but I didn't expect that I would be beaten with a stick and accused of causing trouble."
"Fortunately, I am lucky to have met the Imperial Envoy."
"He had Xiaomin taken to the hospital to get treatment for his injuries, and he also helped Xiaomin get his wages back."
"I thought I would go home as soon as my injuries healed, but Guozhou City was suddenly sealed off."
"I was worried that my family would starve to death and was anxious to go back, so I had a conflict with the officials guarding the city. As a result, I was taken to the government office. Fortunately, I met the same officials as last time."
"They robbed me of my wages and the food I had bought, and then beat me up and drove me out."
"I have no money or food, and I can't go out. I can only beg for food and find a way out."
"Later, I was dragged out and threatened without knowing why, and then put in a tent at the gate of Guozhou City to eat porridge."
"They said that if Xiaomin didn't cooperate, they would send people to Liushui Village to arrest Xiaomin's family."
"There is nothing I can do. I can't run away, and I can't fight back. I can only wait in line at the gate of Guozhou City and wait for death."
"..." Si Muqiao felt complicated for a moment after hearing what he said.
These days, life is so difficult for ordinary people!
And I have to say that the person in front of me is really miserable.
"What else do you know? Tell me everything."
"This... I have no idea." The man blinked blankly, thought hard, and then shook his head.
"How much have you heard about the Imperial Commissioner?"
"I heard that the imperial envoy is ill and is now recuperating in the prefect's villa. The prefect sends him good ginseng and medicinal herbs every day."
“…”
After asking and chatting along the way, their carriage soon stopped in front of the gate of Guozhou Prefecture.
After Guo Fu stopped the carriage, An Yi was the first to jump off the carriage. He then reached out and picked up the half-dead guard and threw him directly at the gate of Guozhou Mansion.
The man named Zhang Daqiang also hurriedly got off the carriage and stood aside with his head down.
With the support of Guo Fu, Murong Qingli walked down calmly.
The next person to come down was Si Muqiao, who deliberately put a veil on his face.
"How dare you! Who are you? Not only did you stab the soldiers defending Guozhou, but you also dared to be so presumptuous in front of the gate of Guozhou Mansion!"
The officers at the gate of Guozhou Prefecture shouted at them when they saw their arrogant behavior.
However, Guo Fu just glanced at them lightly, then took out the gold medal, held it high, and spoke in a steady voice.
"The general defending Guozhou? He assassinated an official of the imperial court in public. What crime should he be punished for?"
"Hurry up and get your Guozhou prefect out here!"
The officers who had been very arrogant suddenly knelt down in a crowd, and one of them ran inside in panic.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a scarlet robe was seen walking out hurriedly with a few people.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Si Muqiao and others, then threw away his official robe and knelt down.
"I didn't know you were coming, sir. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you can forgive me!"
"I don't know, sir, who are you?"
"Where is Feng Liuyu? I want to see him." Murong Qingli ignored him and spoke in a cold voice.
The powerful oppressive atmosphere and strong and overbearing tone made Wang Desheng, the governor of Guozhou, feel uneasy, and his heart was lifted high and he dared not let it fall.
He was thinking, who is this person in front of him?
Why was there no news of your arrival?
What official position does he hold? Why is he so cunning and fierce?
However, no matter who this person is, he cannot be allowed to see Feng Liuyu.
Otherwise, everything he had painstakingly built would be destroyed.
"This... Sir, Master Feng is not acclimatized to the local climate. He is now feeling unwell and is recuperating in another courtyard."
"You are tired from the journey, sir. How about you take a rest in the mansion first, have some tea and snacks, and let me report the current situation of Guozhou to you first."
"No need, take me to see Feng Liuyu immediately, otherwise..."
As soon as Murong Qingli said this, An Yi, who was standing aside holding a long sword, immediately unsheathed the sword and placed it across the neck of Wang Desheng who was kneeling on the ground.
The cold sword lay horizontally there, coupled with the murderous aura emanating from An Yi, frightened Wang Desheng so much that he shivered involuntarily, and his neck subconsciously straightened.
"Yes, I obey your command. Sir, I will take you to see Lord Feng right away." Wang Desheng tried hard to make his voice less trembling.
"Um."
As soon as Murong Qingli spoke, An Yi put away his sword.
Si Muqiao watched and saw that the moment An Yi put away his sword, an expression of regret seemed to flash across his eyes.
Uh, I don’t know if it was her illusion.
After Wang Desheng got up from the ground, he immediately put on a smiling face again.
While leading Murong Qingli and others to a place, he said flatteringly: "Sir, I wonder how I should address you?"
