~ MU YUNYAO KILLED SOMEONE ~
The Linjiang City’s Chancellor and General Judge panicked. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, “Your Royal Highness Princess Wexian, please spare our lives... These officials know that we were wrong.” There had also been Princesses who had come to Jiangnan to play before. As long as they have delicious food and drink, they could safely send away the great Buddha. Why was this Princess Wenxian actually still in charge of them?
Mu Yunyao turned to look at the mud-stained Linjiang City Government official clerks. “I saw that you two Lords’ clothes were unclean. Were you busy clearing the river earlier?”
The Linjiang City Government clerks were flattered by the question, “Reporting to the Princess that after the river wall was blown up, Linjiang River suddenly changed its route. If the river channels were not dredged in time, perhaps half of Linjiang City would still be flooded.”
“Can the river channel be dredged smoothly?”
The Linjiang City Government clerk shook his head: “The flood was too severe, and over a third of the civilians of Linjiang City were injured. After that, in order to survive, many young adults left. At this moment, those who could stay were all conscripted to the river.
However, they didn’t have the tools or the materials to strengthen the dam ... Even the food … Many people had been injured over the past ten days … Princess, were you sent by the Imperial Court to be responsible for disaster relief? Can there be food and medicinal materials brought over?”
Another Linjiang City Government official also raised his head to the side and looked eagerly at Mu Yunyao. Seeing her shake her head slightly, the hopeful expression in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Hearing that Mu Yunyao did not come to Linjiang City on the orders of the Imperial Court, the panic in The Linjiang City’s Chancellor and General Judge’s hearts lessened by quite a bit, “Princess, please let us go. The most important thing right now is to provide relief to the victims. So many people are hungry and waiting to die, so we have to find a way. If you keep us locked up like this, you couldn’t take responsibility if something happens.”
Mu Yunyao shot a cold glance at them, and the guard, who was holding the officials captive, directly raised his feet and kicked them to the ground. The longsword in his hand slammed against their faces and plunged into the ground with a ‘swoosh’ sound .“Disrespect to the Princess, you should be punished!”
Some of these guards were sent by Grand Princess Yi De, and some were chosen by Eunuch Cheng to meet up halfway. They had all received the favor of ginger tea from Mu Yunyao and knew that Princess Wenxian was the beloved of His Royal Highness Yue Wang, so they naturally couldn’t allow others to bully her.
The two detained officials were nearly scared to death, “Princess, please spare our lives....” Where did this group of evildoers come from? They almost thought they would die when their long swords were stabbing down.
“Don’t worry, Lords. Although I wasn’t ordered by the Emperor to come to the rescue and provide relief disaster, I still had a way to gather food and medicine materials. I’ve already sent some people to contact Jingling City’s Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. There will be disaster relief materials delivered soon.”
“Ni Yun Fang, Bu Xian Luo… May I ask if Princess Wexian knows Miss Mu? ”
“I’m Mu Yunyao.”
“Great, this is really great … It’s just that, in the past, it would have taken an entire day to travel by water from Jingling City to Linjiang City, but now, the journey on the waterway is difficult....”
“I have some ties with Xingshun Shipping Company, and I will entrust the delivery of disaster relief materials to them. There are experienced boatmen in Xingshun Shipping Company. Although the water surface of the Linjiang River is not easy to pass, it is not impossible to sail.”
The Linjiang City Government clerk rembled with excitement. They had anticipated the Imperial Court’s disaster relief during this half a month and had already been on the verge of tears of hope. However, the Imperial Court had issued a decree, yet no disaster relief materials had been sent over. If Mu Yunyao had arrived a day or two later, they could not have been able to hold on.
Mu Yunyao looked at the Linjiang City’s Chancellor and General Judge, whose faces were devoid of color. “A few people go and search their mansions. They even still have the mood to enjoy singing and dancing in their mansions now. It seems like their mansions have a rather deep family background.”“Yes.”
“Princess, we are Imperial Court officials. You can’t treat us like this.”Mu Yunyao sneered, “When it’s their turn to be unlucky, they remember that they are an official ordered by the Imperial Court. When they were drinking and having fun, why didn’t they think about their actions before? Were they worthy of this official robe? Take them away!”
The guard who inspected the two’s mansions returned, “Reporting to the Princess, nearly 100,000 taels were seized from the two people’s mansions. In addition, there is a large amount of food hidden in the cellar. Some were damaged by blisters. But most of them were safe and sound, and there were a lot of them.”
The Linjiang City Government clerk’s eyes reddened. “A few days ago, we specifically asked for help from the two families. They said that the mansion no longer has any rice left ...”
Mu Yunyao frowned. Her fingers gripped the hem of her skirt as she ordered in a cold voice, “Linjiang City’s Chancellor and General Judge have not done anything in front of the great calamity. Regardless of the life and death of the people, drinking and having fun, greedy for a large amount of silver... Bring them down and kill them!”
“Yes.” The guard directly detained the two of them, pressed them to the ground, and raised their long swords. After a swish, the two fell with their heads on the ground, blood flowing along the muddy ground, and the color was shocking.
Such a neat action made the remaining four officials look dumbfounded.After regaining his senses, Linjiang Tongzhi gritted his teeth and spat on the ground, “These two people deserve to die. Thank you, Princess Wenxian, for taking charge of the people. This official will definitely write the reason for their deaths so that the Princess won’t be in any trouble.” The others nodded in agreement.
Mu Yunyao wasn’t afraid of this little bit of trouble, but their kindness was not easy to reject outright. “Then I would like to thank the four Lords. Next, we will boil the seized food into porridge and distribute it to the victims to ensure they have not hungry. In addition, the corpses on the streets, no matter if it’s humans or livestock, must be dealt with as soon as possible. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. If we do not handle it well, I’m afraid will be an outbreak.”
“Yes.”
Mu Yunyao, as a woman, looked quite delicate and slender, but after hearing her words, they felt an inexplicable sense of peace in their heart, as if everything was going to be all right.Mu Yunyao had brought quite a several people with her. When Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo’s people heard that she had come to Linjiang City, they rushed over. For a moment, they were all in a frenzy.
Although the disaster victims were struggling, they did not lose their reason when they saw the chances of survival. They waited for the porridge to be boiled and restrained themselves came forward.
Many of the victims had broken bowls in their hands. After the porridge was distributed, they directly poured the porridge into their mouths, regardless of whether it was hot or not.Mu Yunyao’s tightly knitted brows never loosen. “Si Qin, send a message to Bu Xian Luo in a while, say that Linjiang City, Huai’an City, and Yishui City urgently need a doctor. I hope that there are kind-hearted doctors who can come and help treat the victims.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Seeing that Mu Yunyao’s lips were dry and cracked, Si Shu hurriedly brought the water bag over and said, “Miss, you should drink some water and take a break. Your face is quite pale. You still need to preside over the matter in Linjiang City. If you fall down, it would really be messy.”“I’m fine. Si Shu, you sent someone to investigate and find out why the Imperial Court’s disaster relief materials hadn’t arrived yet. Also, think of a way to spread the news of me killing an official of Linjiang City.”
“Yes.”
Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at the sky. Fourth Master, I, who had just been conferred the title of Princess, publicly killed two officials of the Imperial Court. This news should be big enough. You have to find it quickly.……
