We all really can't survive, otherwise it would be impossible to escape to Xijing City!" Although Xie Jiu was still afraid of the emperor, his desire for survival made him bolder.

"That's nonsense. The fourth prince has already brought relief food. How could there be no food?! You are clearly deliberately stirring up trouble!" Lord Du Wei looked at the victims and said angrily.

You must know that the captain is responsible for guarding Xijing City. He has received the news from above early and must intercept all the victims outside the city. No one can be let in, let alone let the emperor know.

Hundreds of disaster victims had already gathered outside the city, but Xijing City had been heavily guarded and no one could get in. But what I didn't expect was that there were still disaster victims sneaking in.

"We are not making trouble! We ordinary people are happy as long as we have enough to eat and warm clothes! If it weren't for the lack of food, none of us would be willing to leave our hometown. After all, that is where our ancestors have lived for generations! Thank you, grassroots people

Jiu swears, if the common people tell even half a lie, Cao will be struck with five thunderbolts tomorrow and he will die badly!" Xie Jiu said with great anger.

"Aren't we working so hard just for a bite to eat? If we had food to eat, who would go all the way to Xijing City to complain?'

"How about this! Since everyone is talking about their own things, I suggest that we change our morning court to the tower today. I wonder if the emperor agrees?" Ye Nanzhi suggested with a smile.

"Why go to the tower? Ye Aiqing?" Baili Wujiang asked.

"When you go to the tower, you will know whoever said it is true!" Ye Nanzhi's smile was full of meaning.

"Alright!" Baili Wujiang ordered, and the faces of several officials turned dark.

Ever since, in the early morning in Xijing City, this scene appeared:

On the street, the Royal Forest Army opened the way, and headed towards the city gate with a dragon on its head. Hundreds of officials followed behind, some with ugly faces, some with anxiety, some with calm faces, and some with expressions as usual...

The most important thing is that there are a group of ragged beggars following behind!

Isn’t this Xijing City under the governance of the Prime Minister that there are no beggars anymore?!

Why are there such a large group of beggars?!

But no matter what, the people on the street saw that things were not simple!

When they arrived at the city gate, everyone rushed towards the top of the city tower.

"Master Shangshu, please!" Ye Nanzhi smiled and made an invitation gesture to the Minister of Hubu. The Shangshu of Hubu laughed mockingly, as if he was mocking Ye Nanzhi that he would draw water from the bamboo basket in vain.

Then he turned around and went up to the tower, and looked at each other with the Captain, exchanging reassuring looks.

You know, they had received news about this matter in the morning. Knowing that victims of the disaster had intercepted Prime Minister Ye's sedan chair, something would definitely happen.

Therefore, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance has already contacted Lord Duwei and sent a team of troops out of the city to drive away all the victims.

Those who cannot be driven away will be executed on the spot.

This has been going on for an hour or two. We are just dealing with a few unarmed victims. We should have solved it long ago.

But when they climbed onto the tower and looked down, their faces suddenly turned pale with fear.
