Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

The man jumped off his horse at the city gate and said loudly: "The last group of grain carts will be here in a quarter of an hour."

"Gong and drum team, start beating! Suona players, start blowing!" the old man ordered excitedly.

"Are all the grain trucks from each county here? Arrange for them to be taken away today. Disaster relief is like putting out fires. Everyone is anxious!"

"Now, those ox carts and horse carriages parked on the road are all grain trucks from our counties. Mr. Zhou, we prepared them three days in advance."

While talking, a sedan arrived.

The sedan door opened, and a middle-aged man of about forty years old came down. Everyone saluted him. It turned out that this was Magistrate Hua of Jingshan County.

Magistrate Hua County: "Mr. Zhou, have the grain team arrived?"

Zhou Qi said excitedly: "We'll be here in another quarter of an hour."

Magistrate Hua County immediately said to the people around him: "Folks, wait until Prince Xi's grain team arrives and light all the firecrackers."

Outside the city gate, a group of grain trucks walked out of the billowing smoke.

The cart was filled with bags of rice. The horse's head bobbed up and down, its hooves beat hard against the dirt road, and the saddle made a deep dent on its back.

"Here we go, Prince Xi's grain carts are all here!"

"Quick, knock it up, blow it up!"

Wuliwala, Wuliwala~
Dong Dong Qiang, Dong Dong Qiang~
The crowd is excited!
Xie Xiangxiang's back was straight. She looked at the long grain transport convoy, and her heart finally fell to the ground.

She quietly said to Xi Si: "Go and arrange the counties to prepare to put out the lights."

Those Kongming lanterns were filled with slogans praising King Xi, all of which were given by Wang Zhen. The palace guards had gone to various counties in advance and had made arrangements.

The grain truck is approaching!
When the grain truck entered the 3000-meter radius, Xie Yanyan immediately scanned the rice bags on the grain truck. They are indeed seeds.

Good guy, are all the grain trucks from Xirong and Beidi merchants here?
Without concealing it, Governor He was sure that King Xi would succeed in seizing the throne?
Bring it here~ She transferred all the food to space in an instant.

What's in the bags of the grain truck?

Chaff! If there is not enough chaff, use straw.

"Xiaomei, exchange 3 stones for chaff."

[3 stones of grain chaff, exchanged successfully]

The horse, which was sweating profusely from exhaustion, suddenly became very relaxed and even started to run quickly.

As the carriage arrived at the city gate, the people waiting at the city gate became even more excited and excited, shouting "A Thousand Years Old King Xi".

Xie Xiangxiang had a satisfied smile on his face behind the towel.

The guards of Prince Xi's Mansion were confused by Rong, and they only regretted that their prince did not see this scene on the spot.

Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, Magistrate Hua County personally greeted the escort team, gave them herbal tea, and welcomed them to the inn to rest.

Xie Xiangxiang walked to the grain truck and once again promoted King Xi's love for the people. He said solemnly: "After everyone has distributed the food, we will put out the Kongming lanterns for blessing in the evening to pray that the people will get through the difficulties smoothly. Prince Xi's palace will always be with you." together."

The people once again shouted "King Xi is a thousand years old".

An impatient voice came from the crowd: "Can we share the food? We have been waiting for three days."

Zhou Qi said no more and shouted: "Set off the cannons and receive the food."

The crackling firecrackers exploded, and more and more people gathered on the street.

There is food and seeds.

After the firecrackers exploded, Magistrate Hua County loudly announced: "Start distributing food!"

Foreigners are visitors, so both Zhou Qi and Magistrate Hua decided to split into two routes, one to pick up the goods from the brother county next door, and the other to pick up the goods for the local people.

This is not grain allocated by the imperial court. It was given to the people by King Xi out of love. It is not kept in the grain depot and is distributed on the street.

Zhou Qi has sent 20 bookkeepers, and the county government has hired 200 temporary workers to help distribute food.

only--

"Huh? Why are you so light?"

"That's not right, it's too soft." The temporary worker rummaged through his pockets several more times, but it was still wrong.

After rummaging through the grain bags of five or six cars in a row, the yamen servant couldn't bear it any longer. He went to Magistrate Hua and whispered a few words in his ear.

Magistrate Hua's eyes widened, he walked a few steps quickly, reached the carriage, reached out and picked up the bag, and was stunned.

Zhou Qi was originally very excited, but when he saw Magistrate Hua and the government servants suddenly looking strange, he came over immediately and asked, "Mr. Hua, do you have a question?"

"Mr. Zhou, please mention it."

Zhou Qi is over 50 years old. Under normal circumstances, he cannot lift this bag of military rations and rice.

However, he lifted the bag easily.

Zhou Qi is the third elder in the county. He is the most prestigious old man in the county. He is the most highly respected and will not lie at all.

Without saying a word, he opened the mouth of the grain bag and reached out to take out the contents.

Once I grabbed a handful, I immediately understood.

He threw the open bag casually on the ground and went to pull out other bags.

From the open bag, the chaff immediately flowed all over the ground.
The government servant from the next county came over and touched it. He was shocked and shouted: "Ah, it's chaff, not wheat seeds. It's not any seeds, it's all chaff!"

Soon, all the bags were opened.

All is chaff, paddy chaff, rice chaff, wheat chaff, millet chaff...

Zhou Qi was extremely angry and laughed back: "Hahaha, it's really hard for King Xi to collect so much chaff! It's amazing, my prince, he actually sent 16 shi of chaff to the people in the northwest disaster area!!"

From now on, don’t call him King Xi, call him King Chun! ! !
The county magistrates, county magistrates, county elders, township elders... the common people present fell into an eerie silence.

Xie Xiangxiang and Xisi's minds went blank.

They opened the bags one after another, chaff, all chaff!
Xie Xiangxiang said to Xisi: "Stop it quickly and don't open it again!"

"Mrs. Xiang, we were deceived by Governor He. He is from Yushanhe, no, he must be from the prince!"

Xie Xiangxiang suddenly thought of Zhou Qi, and immediately ran over and said eagerly: "Mr. Zhou, you are Mr. Wang's best friend, you must help him..."

Zhou Qi was furious: "Shameless Prince Xi, how dare you tease the people. We encountered a natural disaster, and you just didn't save us. You actually teased us, and you still want me to cover up for you? Don't even think about it!!"

"Folks, I'm sorry, I, Zhou Qi, am old and blind, and I saw the wrong person..."

"Fight out these swindlers."

Zhou Qi's hands were trembling and he was so angry that stars appeared in front of his eyes. People from more than a dozen counties watched the stars and the moon at the city gate. They waited for three days for a mountain of bran to appear.

Xie Xiangxiang argued loudly: "Mr. Zhou, listen to me, we really bought wheat seeds. We spent everything we had in exchange for silver and grain from the Beidi caravan."

It was okay that she didn't say this, but when she said this, Zhou Qi became even more angry: "Swapping with Beidi? Beidi has always been eyeing me, Da Qin, and you want to trade with them for food? Oh my God, the wise king in folklore, so that's what it is..."

Someone burst into tears, and then there was a lot of crying. I don’t know who shouted: “Kill them!”

Everyone reacted in the same way. They were excited and happy just now, but now they are angry and desperate. The shouts of killing came one after another, rushing towards Xie Xiangxiang and the palace guards like a tide.

"Kill them."

"Kill them"

Xisi shouted "no", mentioned Xie Xiangxiang and ran frantically out of the city. The other guards of Prince Xi's Mansion also tried their best to escape...

Zhou Shaoyu watched with interest, pulled a half-year-old child from his side, thrust an envelope into his hand, and said: "Brother, please hand this letter to County Magistrate Hua. Don't say it was from me. These 10 I’ll reward you with a lot of money.”

Xie Yanyan added another steamed bun.

The kid brother grabbed 10 big coins and white steamed buns, and immediately crowded in front of Magistrate Hua, and thrust the letter into his hand: "Master Magistrate, someone asked me to give you this letter."
