After rebirth, Her Royal Highness is a black lotus flower

Chapter 229

Seeing that Shen Qianzhao didn't look at the account book, and said that he was just here to visit the mountains and rivers, Liu Cishi didn't believe it in his heart.

After so many temptations just now, if he believed these words, he would be a fool!
Inspector Liu was cursing in his heart, but he still had a flattering smile on his face, "There is a lake cruise boat nearby. If His Highness is interested, I can take His Highness to have a look."

The corners of Shen Qianzhao's lips curled up slightly, "So I'm sorry for Mrs. Liu, by the way, I still want to go to the place where the porridge is given out. When I go back to Beijing, I can explain to my father."

There was no room for negotiation, so Governor Liu could only agree, "The lower officials will lead the way."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

There are many disaster victims in the city, but there are laughter and laughter in the restaurants and teahouses in the city. If you don't know it, you can go all the way and see that the people "live and work in peace and contentment", but you really think that Governor Liu loves the people so much.

The porridge shed is not far from the governor's mansion.

After getting out of the sedan chair, Liu Cishi took several people and walked towards the porridge shed. Looking from a distance, the victims of the disaster were lined up in a long line, and the end could not be seen.

Shen Qianzhao said unintentionally, "I didn't expect that after half a year, under Master Liu's jurisdiction, there are still so many disaster victims in the city."

Inspector Liu sneered, "The disaster is serious, and because of this matter, I don't think about food and drink, and can't sleep day and night."

Fearing that Princess Yongle would dig a hole for herself again, Governor Liu dared not be as "modest" as he was in the mansion just now.

Shen Qianzhao's smile was unclear, and his eyes fell on Liu Cishi's face full of happiness, as if he couldn't sleep day and night, and said meaningfully, "Master Liu has worked hard for the past six months."

Governor Liu slowed down his pace slowly, falling behind several people.

Walking to the porridge shed, one by one the victims, some with withered complexions, some with dull eyes, took a bowl of porridge, turned their heads and left without saying a word.

Seeing Governor Liu coming, the soldiers guarding the porridge shed rushed up to meet him, "For the younger ones, see your lord!"

Governor Liu waved his hand, "I haven't seen you soon."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Shen Qianzhao walking towards the porridge pot, so he quickly followed.

The man was brought by Governor Liu, and the soldiers guarding the porridge shed did not dare to stop him.

Walking to the side of the porridge pot, Shen Qianzhao's eyes became cold, and his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists. Song Huai and Zhou Yan, who were on the side, were also as cold as ice.

Shen Qianzhao sneered, "Master Liu, are you giving porridge or water?"

"Could it be that the disaster in this city has become so severe that the victims can't even drink water, so they need to be distributed by the government?"

The undisguised sarcasm made Liu Cishi terrified, and hurriedly stepped forward to check it out. He almost swallowed his breath when he saw it, and saw that the rice soup in the pot was crystal clear, and there were not a few grains of rice in it.
"The officer doesn't know anything about this matter!"

Song Huai's voice was cold, "Master Liu can't sleep day and night because of the disaster, why don't you know?"

Inspector Liu was sweating profusely, with an ugly expression on his face, "The matter of giving out porridge has always been handed over to the subordinates. I really don't know that they are so courageous that the subordinates have neglected their oversight. Your Highness, forgive me."

"Oh? Really?"

Shen Qianzhao's cold eyes turned to the soldiers who had stopped serving porridge.

Under the direction of Governor Liu's eyes, several people hurriedly knelt down, "My lord, it's because there are too many victims, the rice grains in the pot have already been scooped up, and only the rice soup is left. It's not because the little ones didn't do their best!"

Shen Qianzhao reached out to pick up the big spoon for scooping porridge, and took a look, "Oh, even the pots are brand new, it seems that the pots are often changed?"

Inspector Liu's back was dripping with cold sweat, "It must have been changed more frequently, after all, it was for the sake of the health of the common people."

Seeing that the porridge was not distributed to the victims, most of them dispersed, and a small number of people remained, thinking to wait and see if they could have a mouthful of hot rice soup in the pot.

Shen Qianzhao's eyes fell on the faces of those victims, all of them were so thin that they were almost skinny, and their faces were sickly. The government gave them porridge, but there was no smile, and their hearts were full of chills.

Inspector Liu pulled his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat off his face, and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, how about going to the boat on the lake, it's messy here?"

Before he could finish his sentence, a big spoon for scooping porridge fell on him directly, followed by a cold reprimand, "Liu Sheng, you are so brave!"

This cold reprimand made Liu Cishi's legs go limp in fright, and he knelt down on the ground with a "slap"!

"At the moment of the disaster, you, as the governor of a state, let the people drink rice soup, but you keep the high-quality famous tea, eat big fish and meat, and live comfortably, but let the people live in the streets and alleys, what should you do? crime!"

Liu Inspector's complexion "brushed" and turned pale, "down to the official"

Shen Qianzhao pulled out the saber from Song Huai's waist and put it on Liu Cishi's neck. Liu Cishi was frightened for a moment and dared not say a word, lest Shen Qianzhao's head would fall to the ground if Shen Qianzhao was not careful, and his whole body would be straight. trembling.
This scene attracted the attention of the common people and residents who came and went, and they all stopped.

Shen Qianzhao glanced at the soldier kneeling next to him, "Your Majesty is merciful, the imperial court distributed relief money and food, but you waited to fill your own pockets. In the past hundred days, you have only served porridge three times, and the three times you let the people drink rice soup, so deceitful!" Aren't you afraid that the head of your neck will fall to the ground?!"

"Lord Song, what is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Song Huai replied in a deep voice, "Return to Your Highness, death penalty."

When the soldiers heard this, they all buried their heads in silence, they didn't know who the woman in front of them was, and they dared to put the knife on Master Liu's neck
Seeing this reaction, Shen Qianzhao sneered, "Since it is a capital crime, I would like Lord Song to issue His Majesty's will, and Lord Zhou to execute the sentence on the spot to comfort the people and to serve as an example to others."

As soon as Shen Qianzhao finished speaking, before Song Huai could ask for the imperial edict, Zhou Yan swung his knife and directly chopped off the head of the soldier who was still quibbling at the head. The head fell to the ground, and blood spattered on the spot!
The people who were chatting and laughing just now fell on the ground, their bloody heads and terrified eyes staring, frightening the rest of the soldiers to turn pale and feel cold all over.

The surrounding people all covered their mouths and watched in horror, but some victims seemed to see hope, and their eyes were rekindled.
Song Huai took out the imperial decree from his bosom that he had brought with him when he left Beijing.

"Your Majesty bestowed an imperial decree for this purpose, why don't you kneel down?"

Everyone looked at each other, scrambling to kneel on the ground, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

After reading the decree, those soldiers panicked completely, knowing that these people came from the middle of the capital, and there was an imperial decree...

At this moment, Lord Liu couldn't keep them at all, and kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistake, "My lord! I know I was wrong. These are all ordered by Lord Liu. The younger ones are just obeying orders and dare not disobey!"

"Sir, forgive me!"

"Please be careful, my lord!"

When Master Liu saw Zhou Yan's decisive attack, he felt that the knife on his neck was cold and piercing, and his heart jumped.

Your Majesty has granted the imperial decree and has the right to act cheaply.
