The concubine is so charming

Chapter 301

Many people fell silent. The reason why they were aggrieved was just to let out a sigh of relief. Now that they heard that the people of Rongcheng had nowhere to go, they couldn't help but empathize with themselves when they thought of their own desperation.

The victims looked at Chu Feiyan one after another. Now that Prime Minister Chu is their backbone, no matter whether he is willing to help him or not, they don't have the slightest complaint.

Chu Feiyan stood for a while, coughed twice, and then stepped forward to help Mu Cixiu up: "I said earlier that as long as you are a citizen of the Da'an Dynasty, the court has no reason to let it go. Rongcheng is the territory of the Da'an Dynasty, and the people of Rongcheng are naturally within the scope of the court's relief. There is no need for Mu Shizi to do this. As long as you explain the current situation of Rongcheng clearly, as the prime minister of the Da'an Dynasty, can I still Is it possible to see death without saving it?"

The reason why Mu Cixiu pleaded guilty and made such a big noise was to let the people of Rongcheng see his dedication.

It is well known that Rong Wangfu and the imperial court do not deal with each other. Now, as the son of Rong Wang, he took off his robe, withdrew his jade crown, and personally went to Chu Feiyan to plead guilty. This is already extremely humiliating. Chu Feiyan agreed. If you help him, the people of Rongcheng will definitely be extremely grateful to him.If Chu Feiyan was determined not to help, the people would be much less harsh on him.

It's just that I didn't expect that Chu Feiyan would agree so readily, and even said those righteous words. In this way, it seems that he treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. He will clearly agree to the disaster relief, but he is born to bear the burden Please forgive me for being superfluous.

Mu Cixiu stood up, looking at Chu Feiyan who was smiling at the corner of his lips, feeling a sense of unwillingness in his heart.

One step later, one step later, starting from Rongcheng where Chu Feiyan came from, he completely lost the initiative in his hands, so that every step was led by the nose, making him fall into today's predicament step by step and difficult to escape.

"Mu Cixiu replaced the people of Rongcheng, and thanked Prime Minister Chu for saving his life."

"It is a matter of course for the court to help the people. The emperor has always cared about the people's livelihood. Since he knew about the disaster, he has been in trouble day and night. He has continuously sent people to relieve the disaster. Now I have only done what I should do. I am not worthy of this thank you." Come here, prepare clothes for Mu Shizi, and then we will discuss in detail how much food should be lent."

The famous minister hurried forward: "Please Mu Shizi come down with your subordinates."

The surrounding victims gradually retreated. Although some people still felt unwilling, they just made a few comments, and then continued to level the camp in full swing.

This place gave them a sanctuary in the desperate situation, more or less a natural sense of belonging in their hearts, coupled with Chu Feiyan's promotion, the camp was clean and tidy, even the children washed their hands Be clean and know not to throw things anywhere.Many people thought that it would be great if they could settle down here.Therefore, there was no need to be urged. Seeing the garrison soldiers continuing to clear the forest, they took the initiative to help.

Mu Cixiu came to Chu Feiyan with the changed clothes, while other Rongcheng officials waited quietly outside the tent.

"Thank you, Master Chu, for your generous helping hand."

Chu Feiyan raised his eyes, his face lost the gentleness in front of outsiders: "Mu Shizi is really flexible."

"For the sake of the people of Rongcheng, I can do it even if I can't afford to kneel for a long time, but I didn't expect that Master Chu didn't give me this opportunity."

"Everyone wants to have a good reputation. Since sooner or later we have to provide food to the victims of the disaster in Rongcheng, why do I have to be a villain who does nothing but thank you?"

"It's still Xiangye who can figure it out." Mu Cixiu glanced at the table case beside him, and saw the wild flowers in the vase on the table case, his eyes darkened slightly.

These days, he has been secretly looking for Su Yao, but there are too many things that involve his energy, so he has not found any clues.

"Master Xiang should have his wish now, right?"

Chu Feiyan followed his gaze and saw the vase on the table, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "I'd like to borrow your good words."

Mu Cixiu suppressed the soreness in his heart, and said calmly, "I don't know how much food Xiangye can give Rongcheng?"

"I didn't speak clearly, or Mu Shizi didn't hear clearly," Chu Feiyan spit out a few words slowly, "It's a loan, not a gift!"

Mu Cixiu's eyes froze: "Borrow?"

"That's right, the area around Rongcheng is your father's fiefdom, and most of the local taxes go to your Prince Rong's mansion. If you think about it, you also know that this batch of grain in my hand was borrowed from grain merchants. Since it is If you borrow it, you will naturally have to pay it back, if you don’t pay me back, what will I have to pay the grain merchant back?”

"If you have any conditions, you may as well just tell me." In the current situation, they have to borrow this food, and there is no room for loopback.

"In the future, the tax revenue of Rongcheng will be directly handed over to the imperial court until the food loaned out this time is made up. What does Shizi Mu think?"

"Master Xiang also said just now that Rongcheng is a fiefdom of the Rongwang Mansion, if there is no right to collect taxes, what kind of fiefdom is it?"

"Don't you still have a reputation?" Chu Feiyan took a sip of the tea cup lightly, with a calm tone, very sure that Mu Cixiu would agree.

Sure enough, after a while, Mu Cixiu finally said, "I promise!" These three words seemed to be extremely important.

"That's great. How much food do you need? I've carefully counted and wrote a booklet and sent it up. After I read it, I will discuss it with the officials in charge of disaster relief. Then, based on the existing food stock, I will consider whether to lend it to you." .”

"In this way, there will be Mr. Lao Xiang."

"Famous minister, see off the guests." Chu Feiyan said flatly.

After Mu Cixiu got out of the tent, many eyes from around immediately cast their eyes on him, especially some court officials, the gloating in their eyes almost overflowed.

Suddenly, Mu Cixiu's eyes moved, and his eyes suddenly fell on Su Yao who was sitting behind the free clinic booth.

The famous minister stepped forward to block his sight: "Mu Shizi, my subordinate will send you out of the camp."

Mu Cixiu ignored it and went straight to Su Yao.

Su Yao just got a pulse as a woman, and the pulse obtained is consistent with what Wan Xiang confirmed. She couldn't help but feel happy, and there was a little smile in her eyes. It hasn't dissipated yet.

Mu Cixiu stood still, his eyes swept across Su Yao's face inch by inch: "I noticed a trace of familiarity in you that day, so I should have someone arrest you."

Seeing that he recognized him, Su Yao simply stopped pretending, and the pure aura disappeared, replaced by a carelessness: "It's a pity that if you miss it, you miss it. There is no chance to do it again."

"How did you escape from the palace?"

"Naturally, Jinxiu helped me."

"It's impossible for Jinxiu to betray me."

"Of course she won't betray you. After all, she regards you as a god, so I just provoked her a little bit, and she couldn't help but want to get rid of me as a curse for you, and she didn't want to be involved in it. You and Prince Rong's Mansion tried their best to take me out. It's just that your defense was too poor, so I killed you instead. "

"That's why, when it comes to manipulating people's hearts, you are truly incomparable."

"Mr. Mu, instead of thinking about what you have, you should think about how to repay the food you borrowed. I don't know if Mr. Xiang calculated the interest for you. I am afraid that the revolving interest will not be cleared in a few years. .”

Mu Cixiu narrowed his eyes and did not respond to Su Yao's words. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "If you miss it once, it doesn't mean that you don't have a chance to do it again." After speaking, without waiting for Su Yao's reaction, he directly Turned around and left.
