Seventh Master, Madam didn't go back to the mansion today.

Early the next morning, Qi Yutao rushed to the magistrate's office and sat down on the magistrate's official chair.The tea that Li Zhixian flattered handed over, Xiao Qiye grabbed it and threw it on the ground.

Seeing the situation, Li Zhixian immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty on the ground: "Little minister Li Shu didn't know that Prince Tao came to Qiyuan County, and he was far away from welcoming him. Please forgive him!!"

Qi Yutao picked up the gavel and slammed it on the table. There was a loud bang, and the magistrate, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled in shock.

Xiao Qiye scolded angrily: "Humph!! Li Shu, are you guilty??"

"Chen.....Chen is dull, please let Tao Shizi express it."

"Yesterday, I made an unannounced visit to the people. I walked to Gaoshan Village on foot and found that the people there were in dire straits. Gaoshan Village was hit by a flood two months ago. Why didn't you ask about it and let it fend for itself?!"

A circle of cold sweat broke out on Li Shu's forehead...Stuttering and replying: "This...this...also please forgive me for my negligence!"

Qi Yutao came down from the stage, glanced at the people on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Hmph, you missed it? I'm afraid it was intentional?"

Qi Yutao suddenly slowed down, walked around Li Shu casually, and continued: "Now that the disaster is imminent, since I am here, I must take care of these things. You should make arrangements quickly and call the local rich merchants to raise donations." , I want to give porridge to the poor, and do my best for the people in Gaoshan Village."

After saying that, he glanced at the person who was lying on the ground and dared not move: "Even if you make up for it, go quickly!!"

Li Shu kowtowed twice immediately: "Yes! Yes!"

Li Shu didn't dare to disobey, and immediately ordered people to choose a site to build a porridge shed. After a busy morning, he finally built a simple porridge shed in the open space at the entrance of Gaoshan Village.

Xiao Qiye also specially invited Mr. Daotai, who is in charge of the grain road, to discuss the matter of opening a warehouse to release grain.Master Daotai originally wanted to find an excuse to shirk, but Xiao Qiye directly blamed the master next to Master Daotai to kill chickens and monkeys, and Master Daotai was so frightened that he immediately led people to open a warehouse to release food.

When the porridge shed was serving porridge, Li Shu and Master Daotai stood behind a house, and the two of them looked at Xiao Qiye who was busy in the porridge shed from a distance, chatting secretly: "This is Prince Rong's little brother The son is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, Gaoshan Village is so far away, he was found by him."

Lord Daotai replied deflatedly: "I am so far away that I was recruited by an imperial edict! If I insist on opening a warehouse to release grain, forget it, we can't offend this lord, and then go to Prince Rong to sue As soon as we look like this, we won’t be wearing official hats for long!!”

Li Shu glanced at Master Daotai sadly: "It's all like this, he will definitely sue when he goes back!"

Master Daotai let out a deep breath, and looked at Xiao Qiye fiercely: "Then let him... go and never return."

"Come on." Master Daotai called one of his subordinates and whispered something in his ear.After the subordinates took orders to leave, the two adults looked at each other and smiled darkly...

After the refugees in Gaoshan Village learned about the porridge, they flocked to the porridge shed at the entrance of the village to grab the porridge. Qi Yutao and Bo Lao were too busy to touch the ground.

"Everyone, don't squeeze! Everyone has a share!!" Qi Yutao struggled to maintain order.

"Shrike, there are more and more victims here, you need to find some more people!"

"Yes, Seventh Master, you have to be careful here alone." Shrike went to arrange staff after finishing speaking.

"My lord!! My lord wants to avenge the villagers of Yuhai Village!" Suddenly, a small group of crying and howling resounded through the crowd.

Although these few villagers were dressed in rough linen clothes, they were still neat and tidy, not like refugees here.

After careful questioning, I found out that these are the villagers of Yuhai Village. They heard that the prince came to Gaoshan Village to give porridge, so they came to seek justice.

An elderly man squeezed in front of the crowd and knelt down in front of Qi Yutao: "My lord, we are villagers from Yuhai Village! My lord, you must avenge us!"

Li Shu was taken aback when he saw the scene over there, and quickly called a group of yamen servants to stop them.

"This county magistrate is searching for people's fat and people's anointing in our Yuhai Village, and he is doing all kinds of evil..." Before he could finish speaking, the old man was dragged away by the nearby government servants in the name of disturbing order, and was violently dragged behind the crowd.

The uncle and his sons wanted to open their mouths to redress their grievances, but they were punched to the ground by the vicious yamen servants, and then seven or eight people surrounded them and beat them fiercely.

"Father! Daddy! How dare you beat the old man, is there still the law of heaven and king?!" A thin young man protected his father under his body, and said indignantly.

"Stop!!" Qi Yutao came from behind and strangled a servant's arm, "Presumptuous! What are you doing!! I asked you to protect the safety of the people, not to commit violence!! Back off, everyone!"

Seeing Xiao Qiye losing his temper, the yamen servants looked at each other and backed away one after another.

"Uncle, are you all right? Just tell me if you have any grievances..."

"The porridge shed is about to collapse!! The porridge shed is about to collapse!!"

Before the old man could say anything, people exclaimed from the porridge shed in the distance.Qi Yutao looked back, and saw that the porridge shed was about to collapse, and the thatched shed was slowly tilting. The crowd retreated in horror, but due to the flow of people, there was a great risk of being trampled.Immediately, there were cries and screams.

Qi Yutao didn't have time to think about it, so he stood up immediately and shouted towards the porridge shed: "Hurry up and save people!!! Hurry up!"

The yamen servants looked at each other and stepped forward to help.It's just that the movements of the hands and feet are much slower.

Qi Yutao was so anxious that he was about to shout hoarse in the crowd, he ran to save the victims who were about to be crushed by the falling porridge shed, picked up the two children and pushed them outside: "Run! quick!"

The porridge shed collapsed in an instant, and it was about to hit Qi Yutao's back heavily, and Shrike just came with his hands: "Seventh Master!!"

Shrike flew over to rescue Xiao Qiye, but many victims were still injured and smashed, screaming and crying.

Qi Yutao was very distressed, and could not care about his own embarrassment, so he quickly arranged for someone to find a doctor to heal and greet him.

......

After a busy day, Xiao Qiye was physically and mentally exhausted, sitting on the bed without saying a word, and the minor injury on his arm has not been treated today.

Shrike brought some food and persuaded him, "Master, why don't you have some food."

Qi Yutao shook his head, with determination in his tired eyes: "Srak, today I heard something that made me very sad. I heard a villager from Yuhai Village tell me that this county magistrate has committed all kinds of evil."

"Perhaps there are more things we don't know, which were concealed by the magistrate. Tomorrow, let's go to Yuhai Village."

"Okay, okay, you should eat your food first. If you don't eat, your body will not be able to carry it."

"I'm not hungry. You can eat." Xiao Qi still shook his head stubbornly, leaning against the bed and looking out the window.

Shrike sighed softly, still put the food on the table, and backed away silently.

Late at night, in a dimly lit room, several adults gather together, and the gloomy atmosphere is intimidating.

"Hmph! It's his fate that the porridge shed didn't collapse and kill this kid!!" Master Daotai clenched his fist and said in a low voice.

"This Qi Yutao has already learned about the situation in Yuhai Village today. I am afraid that he will go directly to Yuhai Village to investigate tomorrow. If we find out about our affairs, the few of us will not be able to eat and walk away!"

Lord Zhizhou frowned, with a nervous expression: "The few of us have worked together and worked hard for many years to stabilize our foothold in this place. We can't let him spoil the situation."

"Master Daotai, what do you think?" Li Shu, the county magistrate, asked.

"What can we do? Today you said that he will sue us after he returns!" Master Daotai made a gesture of slicing his index finger across his neck, "Just don't do anything!"

Zhizhou was a little panicked: "No! He is the eldest son, and he will be named the county king soon. If anything happens, Prince Rong will definitely blame us! We will definitely not escape the blame!!"

Li Shu's expression was gloomy, but his tone was inexplicably relaxed: "Oh. But if something happened to him on the way, it's none of our business!"

"What are you going to do?" Xu Yueze asked.

The magistrate made a gesture to come and listen, and the three of them bowed their heads to listen to the plan.
