After rebirth, I ran wild in the heart of His Highness the Prince

He waved the kitchen knife in his hand and slashed straight at the official, as if he was forced into a desperate situation.

The man was a clumsy-tongued, honest farmer. How could he be better than a smooth-tongued official? When he was slapped with a murderous hat, his veins bulged, his eyes were scarlet, and he was breathing heavily.

"I made you talk nonsense!"

There were screams of surprise from all around, and several people closed their eyes tightly, afraid of seeing the blood-stained tragedy.

Of course, the kitchen knife couldn't cut it. How could Gu Siyuan watch the farce happen while he was here?

He used the stone as a needle and quickly hit the man's acupuncture point.

I heard the man groan, his hand dropped in pain, and the kitchen knife also dropped.

There was a crisp sound and the knife was lost. The man covered his arm and looked directly at the official hiding behind the guard with unabated eyes.

"What happened?"

Gu Siyuan spoke sharply, and the people around him spoke intermittently, and then they understood the whole story.

After all, it still involves a small amount of food.

The villagers dragged their families up the mountain and did not carry much food. After a few days, they hid in the cave with unkempt faces and unfilled stomachs. They could not help but feel resentful.

However, in the same cave, the people of Jiangnan Mansion lived in every possible way. Dozens of people saw it, and all they ate were white rice and fine grains.

The merchants who followed Magistrate Lin had countless boxes full of food.

The man was so hungry that he lowered his face and asked for a few mouthfuls of food. Unexpectedly, he didn't get any food, and even received some ridicule.

The other party's tone was contemptuous, as if the victims they were forced to leave their hometown were some kind of bed bugs.

Although Gu Siyuan didn't hear it with his own ears, he glanced at the man thoughtfully, thinking that it would not sound good for this fat-headed, big-eared guy to talk to someone who was protected by the prefect Lin.

There was not much food left. Gu Siyuan wanted to divide the food among the people, but was unable to do so. The guards all reduced the dry food.

But this group of wealthy businessmen brought countless valuable treasures with them on their way to escape. They were stingy and refused to let go of any of them. Even now, they still have so much white rice, flour, bacon, and ham...

Seeing this, Gu Siyuan turned sideways and looked at the people watching the show.

"Master Li, you have brought so much food to eat and you can't finish it. How about doing a good deed and spending money to buy this food and distribute it to the victims?"

The head of the Li family's face froze, and he was making a lot of money from these grains!

The prince financed it?How can the price of food be driven up?

They all looked at each other, the four richest men in Jiangnan were all here.

Gu Siyuan faintly glanced at the burden baskets behind the servants. Although they were covered with gray cloth, he could still faintly smell the aroma of bacon.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Your Highness to contribute the capital. If we have abundant food in hand, we will naturally distribute it to the poor people. But Your Highness, there are many servants in the Li family, and they have also followed me and become homeless. These food are not enough for the servants at home." point."

The head of the Li family was in a difficult position, and the other heads of the family also joined in. It turned out that they were all in the same boat.

Gu Siyuan sneered in his heart when he heard the seemingly sincere words.

They are not so kind. They are worried that the money he paid will not be doubled several times and they will not be able to make money for the national calamity.

Gu Siyuan seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Sweat broke out on the Li family's forehead. His legs became weak under Gu Siyuan's gaze.

Even so, he couldn't part with the food and didn't let go.

Seeing this, the people expressed their sorrow, and some were angry and cursed a few times.

They are about to starve to death, why do they care about their status?Half of the fear of offending wealthy businessmen and officials is gone.

Gu Siyuan frowned. If he allowed his resentment to rise, it would probably lead to a catastrophe.

The guard stroked the scabbard silently. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince gave an order, his sword could be pressed against the neck of the Li family.

If you threaten him with death, you will not believe that he will not be convinced.

The people following Gu Siyuan now are all his personal guards, and they follow his lead.

A strange aura filled the cave, and along with the disturbing sound of raindrops outside, the head of the Li family seemed to smell some danger, and a feeling of regret suddenly arose in his heart.

Should he relax?Otherwise, it is definitely not a good thing to completely offend the prince.

Just as the head of the Li family was hesitating to the extreme, Gu Siyuan calmly turned around and walked to the entrance of the cave.

"You all have selfish motives, and there is nothing you can do about it. I just hope that famine and cannibalism will not happen like in the past."

eat human……

There was deathly silence in the cave, and no one spoke.

It did happen in the previous dynasty. It was a year of famine. The bark and roots of the trees were all gnawed away. Everyone was so hungry that their faces were sallow and their muscles were thin. At first, they ate dead babies, but later they became more and more serious. They cooked the living ones, and human bones could be seen everywhere on the loess.

The head of the Li family turned pale, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is joking. How can the absurdity of the previous dynasty be compared with now? With Your Highness the Crown Prince here, we are willing to share the food and tide over the difficulties with everyone."

The head of the Li family relented, but no matter how hard the others persisted, fearing to offend the prince, they all expressed their willingness to share the food.
