Are you crazy? The marriage robbery happened to my young master of the imperial family
Chapter 439: Your Highness, you cannot kill people!
Xuan Jing couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't care about these refugees in the first place.
Now that the City Lord's Mansion has run out of food, these refugees will either go somewhere else or starve to death. Anyway, there is nothing he can do to help.
Although he was a prince, he did not bring much supplies with him when he came from Xuanwu City this time. He originally just wanted to come here to gain fame.
As for if these refugees want to cause trouble, that is Gu Zhencang's job to resolve.
And Xuan Jing was even less optimistic about Gu Zhencang.
When he went to Gu Zhencang for help before, Gu Zhencang's attitude towards him was not good, so there was no need for him to continue to try to please someone who ignored him.
"Tell the guards to drive away the refugees surrounding the palace and not disturb this prince."
The eunuch next to him heard this and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "My servant is too nosy. I'm afraid this matter is really related to Your Highness."
"Now many brave refugees have surrounded the palace, hoping to ask us for food."
"Our guards can certainly drive them away, but the number of refugees is simply too large. When we drive away one group, another will come."
After hearing this, Xuan Jing couldn't help but frown.
He even cursed in his heart why these refugees were so unreasonable?
Since there is no food left, let's leave Hanyang City and find a living somewhere else.
Why do you have to rely on others for your survival?
Although these people are citizens of the Xuanwu Empire, there is no need for the Xuanwu Empire to care about their lives.
What's more, there are so many monsters outside now, how can we take care of these refugees?
"The swords held by those guards, could they be fire sticks?"
Xuan Jing's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "When it's time to beat them, beat them. Don't give face to those beggars."
"If they disturb me, I will cause trouble for them."
"This..." A hint of hesitation appeared on the eunuch's face again.
In fact, he also knew that this was His Highness's character.
However, the current situation in Hanyang City is really different from other places. If Your Highness does things in this way, it will be easy for others to catch him.
Especially in Xuanwu City, there are other princes who are eyeing the throne and want to become the crown prince.
The eunuch hesitated, and finally advised: "Your Highness, I'm afraid we really can't do this at this time."
"Now the Lord of Hanyang City, Gu Zhencang, has sent people to those big families to plunder food. I'm afraid that in a few days, Gu Zhencang will find us."
"He dares?!" Xuan Jing's face suddenly changed.
Who the hell is Gu Zhencang? How dare he come and cause trouble for me?
"Besides this..." the eunuch continued, "I don't know what the young master of the Jun family was thinking. He actually took the initiative to send food to Gu Zhencang."
"I have already sent someone to inquire about it. The Jun family sent a lot of food, but it is only enough to sustain for two or three days."
"With the young master of the Jun family taking the lead, other families have also handed over their grain."
"If Your Highness does not intend to pay the grain, I'm afraid Gu Zhencang will have some complaints against Your Highness..."
When Xuan Jing heard this, he really couldn't help himself.
A trace of astonishment appeared on his face.
Did that bastard Jun Lintian take the wrong medicine?
You know, Jun Lintian doesn't have a good reputation and has never done good things. How could he have sent so much food to the City Lord's Mansion?
As soon as Xuan Jing heard it, he knew that Jun Lintian definitely had bad intentions, but he didn't know what Jun Lintian was thinking.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He had a vague feeling that Jun Lintian was coming for him, but he didn't know what means Jun Lintian would use. "If you have any other news, tell this prince."
Xuan Jing's eyes couldn't help but become serious, and he looked straight at the eunuch next to him.
Originally, he didn't take the refugees seriously, but now that he thought about it, he realized something was wrong.
"Wait, what did you say just now? The granary of the City Lord's Mansion was burned. What burned it?"
The eunuch replied respectfully: "To answer your Highness, it was a monster that set fire to the granary."
"How is this possible?" Xuan Jing's face showed some surprise.
After he came to Hanyang City, he did not do nothing. At least he knew some of the situations in Hanyang City well.
For example, Hanyang City is guarded by so many soldiers, and although Gu Zhencang will leave Hanyang City, he will not be too far.
Therefore, it is simply a fantasy for a monster to sneak in.
"Your Highness, what this servant said is absolutely true."
Seeing that Xuan Jing didn't believe him, the eunuch quickly said, "Many people saw a wolf demon coming out of the granary that day, and it bit several soldiers."
"Afterwards, Gu Zhencang also went to the granary and conducted a thorough inspection, confirming that it was a demon beast."
Did Gu Zhencang check it too?
Although Xuan Jing was still reluctant to believe it, since Gu Zhencang had already been there and made such a judgment.
That must be the fire set by the monster.
However, since monsters have appeared in Hanyang City, does that mean that Hanyang City is no longer safe?
Xuan Jing couldn't help but touch his chin and think in his heart.
If Hanyang City is no longer safe, then should we deal with Jun Lintian as soon as possible?
And then get out of here quickly?
The eunuch next to him saw that His Highness looked thoughtful, and couldn't help but ask quickly.
"Your Highness, how about we give out some food from the palace?"
"At least it should be okay on the surface. As far as I know, the families that have already paid food to the City Lord's Mansion have not been denounced by the refugees."
In the old eunuch's opinion, less trouble is worse than more.
Moreover, if Your Highness wants to deal with the young master of the Jun family now, he should indeed try to minimize the impact of other things.
However, when Xuan Jing heard this, there was a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Alright, this prince will not hand over this grain."
"Whoever wants to take care of those refugees can do so. I, the prince, can take care of them to death."
"Pass the word down, have the guards keep a close eye on them. If anyone dares to cause trouble for me, I will beat them out. If they provoke me, I will send people to kill them!"
Xuan Jing probably knew in his heart that the reason why Jun Lintian was willing to hand over the grain on his own initiative was most likely because he was targeting him.
But he would not fall into Jun Lintian's trap.
He is not a fool. There are so many refugees in Hanyang City. Even if he hands over the extra food, he can't save many people.
Why bother?
"Your Highness, you cannot kill people!" The eunuch next to him turned pale when he heard this.
"You are now the most valued prince of His Majesty the Emperor Wu, so you must not do anything that would damage your reputation!" (End of this chapter)
