Chapter 36 Involved



Ye Feiyun hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and stuck his head out.

At this moment, a servant dressed in servant's clothes was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. He said in panic: "Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye, please go and take a look. People are dying from eating the disaster relief food in our Ye Mansion! People are dying from eating it!"

Ye Feiyun's heart was shocked, his hands lost their balance, and he almost fell to the ground.

I had just ordered the Ye Mansion to open its granaries to provide relief to these victims who were about to starve to death, and how long has it been since people were eaten to death?

"What's going on?" Ye Feiyun asked anxiously.

The servant shook his head desperately, "I don't know, I don't know, I really don't know. I just heard that some refugees died from eating too much, and then one after another, people are foaming at the mouth and look like they're dying. Princess Mu from Prince Mu's family is still helping the refugees at the porridge shop. You should go over and take a look, this matter is getting bigger and bigger!"

The servant was so frightened that he was talking incoherently.

Ye Ding was stunned for a moment. He knew that his young master might even drag Mu Yanyun to do the job. So, starving a few people to death was no big deal. For the powerful Ye family, they could suppress the matter with just a flick of their fingers.

Ye Ding was about to curse "it's no big deal", but he didn't expect Ye Feiyun to interrupt him directly and glared at Ye Ding fiercely.

Ye Ding felt frightened by the glare, and felt as if he had been severely warned by Ye Feiyun. He immediately shut his mouth obediently and dared not say another word.

Ye Feiyun cursed: "Turn the car around now and go to the disaster relief shop outside the city to see what's going on!"

Ye Ding opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "Then...then Master, what about Princess Mu?"

The servant who was kneeling on the ground had a very unhappy look on his face. How come Princess Mu was involved?

It has always been rumored that Master Ye Feiyun is deeply in love with Mu Yanyun in the city and is a complete bootlicker.

And now Mu Yanyun was actually in Young Master Ye's carriage? Didn't this ruin the good thing?

The servant felt uneasy, fearing that Ye Feiyun would take his anger out on him.

After all, Ye Feiyun's temper is well known to everyone. He would beat and scold his servants if he disagreed with them, and even cut them into pieces and throw them into the river to feed the fish.

Just thinking about it makes the servants nervous.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feiyun scolded: "What's a Mu Princess? Hurry up and go to the disaster relief shop outside the city first. Those are all fresh lives!"

"Ah?" Ye Ding seemed to suspect that there was something wrong with his ears and opened his mouth wide.

"What? Let's go!" Ye Feiyun shouted again.

Ye Ding finally came to his senses and said quickly, "Okay, fine, I'll listen to you, young master."

The carriage moved slowly and quickly headed towards the disaster relief shop outside the city.

The servants kneeling on the ground were shocked. Is this still their young master?

How come he not only didn't get angry with me, but even looked like he cared about the people of the world?

Hiss, this seems to be beyond my expectations.

The servant blinked his eyes and shook his head, feeling like it was a dream.

At the disaster relief shop outside the city, the night is like fog and the starry sky is like the moon.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers were holding torches high at this time, and the blazing flames illuminated the surrounding roads.

At this time, the refugees piled up like mountains and gathered together to ask for an explanation.

"Let the people from the Ye Mansion come out! Let the people from the Ye Mansion come out! They ate the dead. What should we do? We are going to the court to file a complaint!"

At this time, Mu Fenfang's face was ashen and she was standing in a corner.

The maidservant beside her whispered, "Miss, this is the Ye Mansion's business, why should we get involved?"

Mu Fenfang raised her pretty face and said, "What's this about the Ye Mansion? Aren't we a soup kitchen? Aren't these people civilians? Aren't these all disaster relief grains distributed by our government? Do we have to wait for Ye Feiyun to come? How many people will die then?"

At this moment, Mu Fenfang's disgust towards Ye Feiyun increased a little more.

She had previously thought that Ye Feiyun had a change of heart and opened the granary to distribute food to these hungry refugees.

But unexpectedly, the food distributed by the Ye Mansion was problematic. Not only was there sand and gravel mixed in, but a lot of the rice was expired and moldy.

Many refugees suffered from vomiting and diarrhea after eating the food, and the elderly and weak even fell ill and died on the spot.

How could Mu Fenfang not be angry?

Just as Mu Fenfang was about to say something, a luxurious carriage came rolling over with whips raised.

Bumping up and down on the rugged road, a big chestnut horse, waving its whip and neighing loudly, came running straight towards the noisy disaster relief shop.

Ye Ding took the lead, his eyes wide open, his body holding the reins, and swung the whip, which cut through the air again and again, pulling the carriage quickly towards this place.

"Everyone get out of the way, the Ye Mansion is here!"

The officers and soldiers here all knew Young Master Ye Feiyun's carriage, so they immediately made way for it.

Previously, someone rammed Ye Feiyun's carriage in the capital, and although that person was a third-rank official, he was still beaten half to death.

Officers and soldiers like them who have no power and influence are not even in the eyes of the other side.

I guess if you dare to block the road, you will be crushed into a meat paste by the carriage.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Ye Feiyun lifted the curtain and walked down with a gloomy expression.

At this time, there were more than a dozen bodies of refugees lying in front of him. They were pale, blue, and dressed in tattered clothes with clothes draped casually on their bodies. They looked very scary.

"What's going on?" Ye Fei frowned.

The servant who was in charge of distributing the Ye Mansion's disaster relief grain came over quickly and whispered, "Master, these people ate our Ye Mansion's grain, and then there was a problem."

"Something's wrong? What's going on?" Ye Fei frowned. "Don't be so hesitant with me. Tell the truth."

The servant didn't dare to hide it any longer and said immediately, "Master, you will know once you see it."

Ye Fei waited with a gloomy face.

After a while, the two servants who had spoken to Ye Fei before came over carrying a big pot filled with white porridge.

Although it looked rich and there was nothing unusual from a distance, when Ye Fei saw it and smelled it, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

The porridge gave off a foul smell, and maggots were wriggling in it from time to time.

"In here..." Ye Feiyun raised his hand, and a lot of white porridge broke into powder at this moment. It was obviously made from old rice, and there was a lot of sand and stones mixed in it, making it look gray.

"Is this food for human consumption? Ah!"

Ye Fei's eyes widened, furious.

"I told you to open the warehouses and distribute food, and this is how you do it!"

Ye Fei's eyes widened with anger.

The reason why he opened the granary to release grain was to earn some good reputation for his cheap father, so that when the huge corruption case in the Ministry of Revenue was exposed, he would have a reason to explain.
