Chapter 503: Food shortage

Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to wait below. She ran over in the rain and carried the bones with him.

The bones were piled into a pile, and Liu Yunxiang knelt down to piece the bones together one by one.

She didn't want to cry, but maybe Yan Mu didn't want to cry, so she cried. When the bones were put together, she knelt in front and kowtowed three times.

"General, I'm sorry."

"You must understand that Yan Mu has no choice but to do this."

"We swear that we will vindicate you and give you a good burial."

Yan Mu pulled her up and said funnyly: "If a person is dead, he is dead. He can't even hear what you said."

Liu Yunxiang turned to hug Yan Mu. Of course she knew, but she said these things to Yan Mu to appease his sadness and anger.

"It's better not to rain."

"Well?"

"It will take ten days of exposure to the sun to turn it into powder. If it rains all the time, how long will it take?"

Liu Yunxiang hugged Yan Mu tightly, "You can kowtow too."

"No, I really don't remember him. If I kowtow now, I will only feel a little guilty."

With that said, Yan Mu took Liu Yunxiang's hand, turned around and walked down.

"When I remember it someday, I'll kowtow to him and apologize."

Back at home, Liu Yunxiang saw that Yan Mu was a little groggy. He tested the temperature on his forehead with his hands and found that he had a fever. Because Yan Mu was weak and had constant ailments, she went to Qu Moran's Yaolu a few days ago and followed her.

I asked for a few packets of medicine to treat colds.

She asked Jinyan to boil the medicine and fed it to Yan Mu to drink.

In the past, when he was in Beijin, he would catch a cold and have to lie down for a few days before he recovered. But this time, he got up very early in the morning.

"You can rest for a few more days."

"If I were ill for a few days, the emperor would probably think that I fell ill because of excessive sadness." Yan Mu sneered.

Liu Yunxiangmo, the emperor is suspicious by nature, maybe he really thinks so.

"So today, I will enter the palace and let the emperor see me."

"But your body..."

"I can handle it."

Yan Mu stood up as he spoke, and Liu Yunxiang hurriedly stood up and dressed him. She really hadn't done much of the job of serving others. In other families, a woman would serve her husband, but Yan Mu never asked her to serve him. Sometimes she found that

She was too lazy to get up, so he put her clothes on.

"Did you secretly kiss me last night?" Yan Mu asked with a raised eyebrow.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "No."

"Then what do you feel guilty about?"

"I have no guilty conscience."

"Keep your head up."

Liu Yunxiang grumbled for a while before looking up and saw Yan Mu pointing at the corner of his lips.

"Kiss here."

"Were you awake at the time?"

Yan Mu hummed, "I was asleep, but you nibbled me awake."

Liu Yunxiang's face turned red, "No way, I just kissed you gently... gently."

"People who practice martial arts are very vigilant."

"Then I'll be gentler next time, okay?"

Yan Mu glared at Liu Yunxiang, "There is no next time, please respect yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, but his power was broken instantly when he turned around, with a smile on his face.

After Yan Mu left, Liu Yunxiang lay on the bed for a while. She was alone and thinking about how to leave next.

After breakfast, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin out.

People were coming and going on the street, all walking in a hurry, with worried faces. It was not as quiet as usual. When they passed a grain store, they saw many people blocking the front of the grain store, and some people were knocking on the door vigorously.

Close the door.

There was a clanging sound, and I wanted to break the door.

"Stop knocking, stop knocking." The person inside responded and opened the door. It was the steward of the grain store. He glanced at the people waiting outside and said helplessly: "Everyone, the sign says clearly, our grain store

The food has been sold out. Don’t you understand what that means? The food store is out of food, so we have no choice but to close down.”

The person standing at the front was a young man. He shouted to the steward: "Well, why are you suddenly out of food? You must have saved it so that you can sell it at a higher price for a while."

Others also echoed, "That must be the case, otherwise there would be no way to suddenly run out of food. Last year's harvest was obviously very good, and there were no natural disasters!"

"Someone is in trouble!" After the steward said this, he immediately regretted it and shook his head hurriedly: "Anyway, we are out of food. Why don't you go to Lingyun Food Store in front and have a look? His store is the largest food store in Da Rong. Below is

His shops are spread all over the country, and his family may still have food."

"I just went there, and his house is closed, with this sign!" someone shouted.

"His family is out of food, so our small food shops are even less. Please don't embarrass us."

With that said, the steward was about to go back and close the door.

"If there is food or not, we will find out if we go in and take a look." The young man shouted, and others also followed suit.

"Hey, if you do this, I'm going to report you to the police!"

"If you want to report it, go and report it. If you are caught, you will at least have a bite to eat!"

The young man said as he pushed the steward aside and waved, and everyone squeezed in.

When Liu Yunxiang saw this, he turned around and walked towards Lingyun. The situation in Lingyun was the same. There were more people gathered outside. Fortunately, Zhang Qi was prepared, and the guys were all outside with their things.

The people kept begging Zhang Qi to sell grain, but Zhang Qi could only explain in earnest that there was really no grain.

"Why is it gone?" asked an old woman.

Zhang Qi sighed, "There are floods in the south, and the food from the north...the food from the north cannot be transported back. It's not that we don't sell it, it's that it's really gone."

Lingyun Grain Shop has always been trustworthy. After hearing what Zhang Qi said, the people understood what was going on and became even more panicked.

"When will there be food?"

"That's not good to say."

The people below started to come up with ideas one after another.

"The court can't ignore us. Let's go and surround the government and let the court find a way to get us food!" someone shouted.

"Yes, this makes sense. It's useless for us to block other people's grain stores. Blocking the government is the real thing."

"If there are more people, we won't be afraid of the government arresting people randomly!"

"Everyone goes!"

Someone took the lead, and other people followed. After all, it was about food rations, and no one would stay out of it.

After all the people left, Zhang Qi came to Liu Yunxiang and said, "Our people have entered the north of the town. Come quickly and report that the garrison there did not stop us."

Liu Yunxiang frowned. Qin Feishi was very smart. He probably guessed her intention. As long as he stopped him, he would give the court a reason to take back his military power. All the officers and soldiers in Zhenbei had their hearts set towards Yan Mu. As long as the court ordered the general to have power,

To Yan Mu, he would be immediately helpless.

So he didn't stop it and didn't give the court a reason to attack.

"If there's no movement, then make some movement." Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes and sneered: "He may be on every possible precaution to prevent the fire from burning him, but in fact, as long as there is a spark, he won't be able to withstand it."

Zhang Qi thought for a while, "I understand what my boss means."

Back at the palace, Yan Mu had come back from the palace and was reading a book while leaning on the Arhat bed. The window was open, and the wind blew in from the outside, causing the pages of the book to turn randomly. He was very patient, smoothing the pages again and again.

"Does the Emperor believe you?"

"He asked me to take over the position of Minister of Justice and investigate the murder of Mrs. Marquis of Wuchang."

Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief, that was his belief.

But what was in her mind, she frowned again, "Zhou Lihuai's wife Pan once came to the palace. She said that Shangguan Xu asked her to come to you. Based on this, it can be inferred that Shangguan Xu recommended you in front of the emperor.

You take over as the Minister of Justice to investigate this case."

"I guess it's him too."

"There must be some mystery in this case. Even he is worried about something that cannot be investigated."

"A basin of trouble."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "So we have to be careful."

Yan Mu closed the book and looked at Liu Yunxiang, "The emperor announces your entry into the palace."

The corners of Liu Yunxiang's lips curled up, "It must be about food."

"Um."

"What did you say?"

"I said you were frightened at the eldest princess's residence and have been ill for several days."
