Chapter 88 A life-and-death struggle

"What did you say?" Jiang Shuyue took a breath of air.

Did that fellow lead an attack so quickly?

When Jiang Shuyue was wondering, Mei'er took a breath and said, "When I went out to buy something, I saw many people running towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. I heard that the granaries in the Prime Minister's Mansion were robbed."

Mei'er finished speaking in one breath, worried. With so many refugees, who knows if they will break into Jiang's mansion.

Jiang Shuyue was even more surprised this time. She didn't let those people rob her.

She told Mei'er: "Go and tell everyone, don't leave the house today if you have nothing to do."

Meier immediately turned around and ran out.

Qiu Ju approached Jiang Shuyue and whispered in a low voice, "Didn't the lady ask them to follow Prime Minister Wei and eat when Prime Minister Wei eats? Why are they robbing again?"

Jiang Shuyue spread her hands, "Maybe there were too many people and they were very hungry, so they lost control. I didn't expect this result."

Her original intention was to let the refugees stalk her and make it impossible for Prime Minister Wei to eat. When he was forced to have no way out by everyone, he would always solve the problem.

In the end, she still underestimated human nature.

Jiang Shuyue put down her years and said, "Son, you can play by yourself while mother goes out and takes a look."

Remembering that Lin Miaoshou said that there were many thugs in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Shuyue felt a chill in her heart.

If a refugee dies as a result, she will not be able to escape the blame.

"Sui Sui, uncle will also take you out to have a look."

Nangong Zeyue also wanted to see what it was like for those unarmed scholars to see that scene.

Before Jiang Shuyue could leave, he bent down and copied it with his hand. Sui Sui disappeared in an instant like a pendant on his body.

"Miss, this rabbit's urine smells really bad, what should I do?" Qiu Ju said as she lifted up the bamboo cage, and there was indeed a puddle of rabbit urine on the ground.

"You ask Lan'er to call someone to clean it, and we will also go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a look. I can just put the rabbit in that deserted lawn."

After Qiu Ju went out, Jiang Shuyue opened the bamboo cage and saw two chubby rabbits squatting inside.

She didn't have time to think too much. She waved her sleeves and two snow-white meat rabbits were put into the space.

…

The prime minister's palace was in a mess, and the female relatives were hiding in a courtyard and trembling with fear.

The servants with swords in their hands protected the courtyard where the female relatives lived as tightly as an iron barrel.

The Prime Minister's wife has always been arrogant in the past, but she has never encountered anything so aggrieved.

There was a fierce look in her eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Take advantage of the chaos and take the leader into the cellar and lock him up."

The housekeeper bowed and said, "Madam, it's no longer possible. There are many people and scholars outside watching."

Mrs. Wei, who comes from a well-known family, especially understands the usefulness of scholars. If something happens to someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, those scholars will not only be unable to save the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also the queen in the palace will be implicated.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you quickly rescue the master from those untouchables?" Seeing that her daughter-in-law couldn't make up her mind, Mrs. Wei poked the ground hard with her crutch and shouted to the servants outside.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was anxious, the Prime Minister's wife quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Mom, you can't do anything. My daughter-in-law will tell the housekeeper to take someone to the front hall."

If she wasn't afraid that the refugees would bump into her, she would have rushed out long ago.

"Ancestor, madam, please calm down. Those refugees are just looking for a bite to eat. They did not come to the backyard." The housekeeper said with a wave of his hand and led more than ten servants to the front hall.

In the front hall, Prime Minister Wei and his servant were surrounded by refugees and could not go anywhere.

The refugees were carrying rice bags in their hands, and some were chewing steamed buns.

Some people even had fruits in their hands and were gnawing on them, and they didn't let go of anything that was edible.

"Master Prime Minister, we have been kneeling at the yamen gate for so long, and some of us have fainted from hunger, but you are hiding in the Prime Minister's Mansion, feasting on fish and meat. Are you worthy of sitting in that high position?" A man looked like a man who had read a book. He asked angrily.

Prime Minister Wei was so angry that he was shaking all over. As soon as the food was put on the table, a group of people rushed in from nowhere and robbed all the food on his table. Even the kitchen where the servants of the house were eating was not spared. .

The refugees climbed up the stairs outside the wall to enter the mansion. At this time, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion had been opened, and it was unclear whether they were the onlookers or the refugees.

A servant looked at the trapped Prime Minister Wei with a sword in his hand. Without the master's instructions, the thugs dressed as servants did not dare to take action.

There were so many refugees that the large halls were full of people, and the servants were forced to retreat.

"You, you are so lawless. Is this breaking the law?"

"As the Prime Minister, you don't let refugees into the city in times of disaster, and you don't open warehouses to release food to help the people. Your body is left to eat, and you are in vain as a minister. It is people like you who are guilty!"

A young man in neat clothes, looking like a scholar, pointed angrily at Prime Minister Wei and asked.

All the people behind him said in unison: "Yes, the common people are fat and do nothing. The imperial court is full of people like this. What's the difference between us and raising a bunch of maggots?"

The scholar-looking man set a precedent, and immediately there were complaints, accusations and curses.

Those refugees who had not studied and didn't know much started to curse so loudly that even the queen was dragged in to scold them.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! I thought life would be better under the emperor's feet! It turns out that it's not as prosperous as the people of Yannan." Someone in the crowd said something boldly.

"That is, King Yannan has also rescued so many refugees. These things should be done by the emperor. If Emperor Renzong knew that the people of Wanling Kingdom were in dire straits, the dragon gate of the imperial mausoleum would not be able to be closed."

"If we don't get the relief food from the court today, no one will leave today. I'm sure the queen won't want to let her family starve to death."

"Yes! We won't leave." Some refugees simply sat on the ground. Suddenly, the hall was full of people sitting on the ground.

Prime Minister Wei was so angry that his nose was crooked. This group of unruly people were lawless and ignored him, an official appointed by the court who was second only to the emperor.

The public resentment in the Prime Minister's Mansion reached a peak.

Everyone was cursing the incompetent person in the palace and praising King Yannan as a great man with a broad mind.

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Prime Minister Wei shouted, "Shut up! I will write a letter to the palace and ask the emperor to send food to everyone to tide over the difficulties."

"Will he ask the emperor to send people to arrest us?"

"Since he won't let us live, let's just burn down the Prime Minister's Mansion and fight to the death!"

Prime Minister Wei's body swayed, and the servant behind him hurriedly supported him, "Sir, these people are really crazy."

At this time, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion just walked out of the crowd, and he ordered a servant behind him, "Hurry up and prepare the pen and ink."

The housekeeper and the servant squeezed to the side of Prime Minister Wei and whispered, "Master, these people are like hungry wolves, they can do anything."

He looked back at the crowd again, "There are many scholars watching outside, this matter..."
