Chapter 201: The sky is flooded and the refugees are in chaos

In the 26th year of Tianxi, heavy rains and strong winds suddenly fell in Yongjia County in the southern part of Dayin, flooding, and the people were displaced. The disaster situation was reported to Duanhua City, and Yunwei ordered the Ministry of Revenue to open the national treasury to provide disaster relief. However, the results were too small, and the victims rushed to Duanhua City to escape. Due to the large number of victims, if all of them rushed into Duanhua City, it would inevitably have an impact on the people in the city. Therefore, Prime Minister Mo Huaixin ordered the city gate to be closed to prevent the victims from entering Duanhua City first.

But unexpectedly, the hungry victims actually went to grab the village near Duanhuacheng, and even injured people.

The Secretariat reported to Yunwei for the decision. Yunwei ordered the city gate to be opened to ensure the security of Duanhua City. A place was set aside to specially accommodate the victims. The seventh prince Yuan Hao was ordered to supervise the matter.

...

...

On that day, Yuan Zhan took Lei Ming and Mo Liang and wandered around the streets. They found that the streets were filled with victims who had escaped.

Yuan Zhan looked at the victims and frowned, "The disaster in Yongjia County is very serious this time. I heard that the Ministry of Works has sent many people to treat the water, but the results are very little."

"In fact, floods in Yongjia County occur all year round, and basically occur every year, but sometimes they are serious and sometimes mild. As long as the rainy season is over, it will be fine. So every time the imperial envoy sent to Yongjia County is not very careful. He basically just survived the time period and then pretended to complete the mission." Mo Liang said carelessly, shaking the jade fracture fan.

"Is that true?" Yuan Zhan glanced at Mo Liang and asked back.

"Yes." Mo Liang nodded and responded, "M-Azhan, there is a porridge shed in the disaster-stricken area in the west of the city. I heard that the princess was kind to the victims to go to the porridge shed in person."

"Is this strange? The concubines in the harem have always been like this in the world!" Lei Ming felt that Mo Liang's words were meaningless.

"That's right, but the Seventh Prince is responsible for the victims this time, and the Seventh Prince is also the Seventh Prince. But the Crown Prince suddenly came, and the one who spread the word was the Crown Prince's virtue and virtue. The one who won the hearts of the people was His Highness. In this way, the Seventh Prince is making wedding dresses for others." Mo Liang waved his hand slightly and said.

"Yuan Hao was completely speechless when he was dressing in the crown princess. I guess he was feeling depressed!" Yuan Zhan smiled.

"Then Azhan, do you want to add more fire to him?" Mo Liang curled the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Xiaoliang, what do you mean?" Yuan Zhan saw Mo Liang's expression and knew that Mo Liang had a good plan.

"The Crown Princess is a good person with the Seventh Prince's things, so can Azhan!" Mo Liang replied.

"Me?" Yuan Zhan looked puzzled, "The princess is there, and then I will join in the fun too. Is this appropriate?"

"A Zhan is naturally not suitable, but someone is suitable." Mo Liang did not care about Yuan Zhan's expression and continued to explain.

"You mean... Qing'er?" Yuan Zhan seemed to guess who Mo Liang was referring to.

"That's right! It's Princess Luguqing! Although the princess has not officially married you, the marriage has spread all over the country. Everyone knows that Princess Rouran is the future sixth princess of Dayin. In addition, the princess's original identity can make the people remember it." Mo Liang looked confident.

"But that said, the Crown Princess has already preconceived ideas. If I ask Qing'er to go again, I will inevitably look like a fool. And I will be hated by Yuan Hao." Yuan Zhan still felt something was wrong.

"So we can't go directly, we have to have a chance to meet!" Mo Liang raised his jade fracture fan and smiled, his handsome and pretty apricot eyes were so beautiful.

"Oh?" Yuan Zhan narrowed his eyes, believing in Mo Liang's arrangement, "Then I will leave this accidental encounter to Mr. Mo Er to arrange it."

"yes."

...

...

Two days later, Yuan Zhan invited Lu Guqing to the outings of the city, but he never expected that when he passed by the west of the city, he saw the Crown Princess besieged by a mob on the way to the porridge shed.

Yuan Zhan immediately signaled to the road to save people.

In a short while, the mobs were taken down by the guards one by one.

"Crown Princess, are you okay?" Lu Guqing stepped forward and comforted her.

The Crown Princess Gao Anqin, who was protected behind the maid, only realized from the panic when she saw Lu Guqing.

This is Princess Rouran, Yuan Zhan’s future imperial concubine. Why is she here? If it were her, then Yuan Zhan…

Gao Anqiu followed the front and saw Yuan Zhan walking towards him.

"Crown Princess." Yuan Zhan walked to Lu Guqing and bowed to Gao An.

"It's my sixth brother." Gao Anqiu had adjusted his emotions and nodded Xiang Yuanzhan, "Princess Lu Guqing is here too."

"Well, I was just about to take Qing'er to the outings in the city, but I didn't want to see the Crown Princess in danger here. It was so thrilling. Is the Crown Princess injured?" Yuan Zhan asked Gao Anzi with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Gao Anzhi shook his head and said.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, the mob has been arrested!" The guard leader bowed to Yuan Zhan and Gao Anzi.

"Who are you? You dare to intercept the princess' car!" Yuan Zhan asked the mob with a stern face.

"We are also forced to do anything! We fled here, and we wanted to ask for food and clothing, but no one cared about us at all!" A mob knelt on the ground and cried.

"How is this possible? The emperor has set up a disaster area for the victims and will give me a gift every day. As long as you obey the arrangements, how can you not have enough food and clothing?" The Crown Princess suddenly said sternly.

"You are the noble princess and Your Highness, how can you know the lives of our lower class people? It is said that there are disaster-stricken areas, but disaster-stricken areas are limited. For example, those of us who are late, the officers and soldiers will not let us in at all!" Another mob kneeling beside him retorted.

"There is still this?" Gao An's frown and said.

"I think what they said is not false. Two days ago, when I went to Yongxiang Street, I saw many refugees begging on the street. If all the victims were in the victims' area, how could there be so many refugees outside?" Lu Guqing walked to Gao Anxi, held her arm, and fanned her ear.

"But the location of the victims' area was opened after verified and the disaster situation was doubled. I think it was enough to withstand those victims?" Gao An said after thinking for a while.

"There are two possibilities. First, the Ministry of Works did not carefully check the calculations; second..." Yuan Zhan looked up at Gao Anyi and paused for a moment, and said, "It is not all the victims in the disaster-stricken area who fled, but some people deliberately pretended to be victims in order to be at ease."

"What! Someone will do this?" Gao Anqiu couldn't believe it.

"Not everyone is willing to exchange their hands for money and food. If you get something for nothing, why not do it?" Yuan Zhan replied.

"It's simply shameless!" Gao Anzhi scolded.

"Sixth Brother! Crown Princess!" At this time, Yuan Hao suddenly brought his men to come.

"Who should I be? It turned out to be my seventh brother." The disaster incident was supervised by Yuan Hao. Now that this happened, Gao Anqiu naturally disliked Yuan Hao.

"Crown Princess forgive me. I just got the news that the Crown Princess was attacked by a mob, so I brought people here immediately. Is the Crown Princess okay?" Yuan Hao dismounted and bowed to apologize to Gao An.

"I have nothing to do with it. Fortunately, my sixth brother arrived in time, otherwise I would be in danger!" Gao Anqiu glanced at Yuanhao and said.

"Thank you, Sixth Brother. Otherwise, if the Crown Princess makes any mistakes, I will not be able to explain to the Crown Prince." Yuan Hao thanked Yuan Zhan again.

"Seventh brother, don't have to be too polite." Yuan Zhanxu helped Yuan Hao for a moment.

Yuan Hao nodded, then turned his head again, drew his sword to question the mobs who attacked Gao Anzhi, "You are so bold! How dare you hit the princess, and say! Is there someone instructing me?"

As soon as Yuan Hao said this, Yuan Zhan's heart immediately became nervous. What did Yuan Hao want to do?

"What does Seventh Brother mean?" Gao An asked.

"The mobs may go to extremes in order to seek food, but the journey of the princess is kept confidential. How did these mobs know that the princess would pass here? This is not a necessary way to go to the porridge shed in the west of the city. If you choose this attack, someone must be instructed!" Yuan Hao glared at the mobs fiercely again.

When Yuan Hao pointed at the sword and asked, the mobs were instantly startled and kowtowed to mercy immediately, "Your Highness, please spare your life! The people of the grassland did not intend to hit the princess. It was indeed someone instructed us. But that person told us that as long as the princess is taken, the people of the grassland will have a chance to get food and clothing. That is why the people of the grassland will come up with this bad strategy! Your Highness, please spare your life!"

"Who instructed you?" Yuan Hao still looked serious.

"We don't know them, we only know that they are fleeing like us." The mobs replied with their heads down.

"Will you probably recognize them when you see them?" Yuan Hao continued to ask, "If you can point out the mastermind behind the scenes, I will save you from the death penalty!"

"Yes! Yes!" The mobs responded immediately when they saw the opportunity to avoid death penalty.

Seeing the mobs cooperated, Yuan Hao took back his sword and bowed to Gao An, "Crown Princess, I will bring this mastermind behind the scenes to justice. I wonder if the Crown Princess still wants to go to the porridge shed now?"

"Seventh brother doesn't have to do this. These people are also forced by life. As for the porridge shed, they naturally have to go to the porridge shed." Gao Anqiu looked at Yuan Hao proudly and said, "Justice just now, someone in the disaster-stricken area may pretend to be a disaster-stricken victim, so that the real disaster-stricken victims are lost outside and affecting order. Seventh brother is the supervision this time. Since he is here, let's go together."

"What happened?" Yuan Hao frowned and glanced at Yuan Zhan again.

"The seventh brother is not good at doing this, so I will report to the prince. Then the father will decide!" The prince's party has always been incompatible with Yuan Hao, and the princess is no exception. If he uses this to defeat Yuan Hao, why not do it?

"The Crown Princess forgives the crime, and it is indeed a disadvantage for me to do things. This time, I will strengthen the investigation. If it is my subordinates' responsibility, I will definitely be punished and not lent!" Yuan Hao couldn't turn against Gao Anqi in person, so he had to continue to apologize to Gao Anqi.

"Okay, let's go to the disaster-stricken area first. Let's go with me, too. It's just right to give me a testimony." As he said that, Gao Anqiu pulled Lu Guqing into the carriage.

"Yes." Yuan Zhan bowed, glanced back at Yuan Hao, and returned to his carriage.

Only Yuan Hao stood there clenched his fist and stood there. He stared at Gao An's carriage fiercely, trying to expose the carriage.

Who do you think you are? A woman dares to act wildly on my head! She is so skillful and not afraid of being hot! She wants to use this matter to defeat me? It’s simply delusional!
