The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

"get out."

"There will be no one like you in the Pei family from now on."

After Master Pei finished speaking indignantly, he turned around and entered the door resolutely.

The door of the Pei family was closed, and Mr. Pei was isolated from the outside.

Even if he died crying at the door, this door would probably never be opened for him again.

"Why is this happening?"

"How could I be exposed so easily? I was fine before and no one noticed me!"

"This time, I was exposed just because of Princess Xichu and His Majesty the Southern Kingdom. These two people don't seem to be parallel imports. They are also very smart and difficult to deal with..."

At this moment, in the main hall of the house, servants came in one after another, carrying plate after plate of exquisite and delicious dishes.

Jiujiu and Dijiang were treated as guests and thanked them.

Qingshu's mouth began to water when he saw so many delicious foods.

Pei Qingning also misses the food at home so much. Now she can finally have a good meal. It's great.

After Mr. Pei came back, he poured wine for Jiujiu and Dijiang himself and said thank you: "Princess, Your Majesty, for this glass, thank you for saving my little girl and sending her back."

With his daughter back, he finally felt at peace and could finally sleep well.

How could he not be grateful?

Jiujiu and Dijiang picked up the wine glasses in front of them and drank them in one gulp.

Master Pei poured more wine for the two of them and said, "This second cup is to thank the princess for saving me. If it weren't for the princess, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived this disaster."

"I'll do it first out of respect."

Master Pei's thoughts are all in the wine.

The more intense the drinking, the stronger the heart of gratitude.

Jiujiu saw it and drank too.

"This last cup is for the princess and His Majesty, who saw through Pei Er's ill intentions and stopped him, thus preventing my daughter from being pushed into the fire pit."

"it is good."

Di Jiang and Jiujiu drank another drink.

After three glasses of wine, Jiujiu was already feeling dizzy.

Jiujiu's alcohol tolerance has improved from being drunk after one glass to being drunk after two glasses. Now, he is drunk after three glasses of wine.

Jiujiu fell down without eating a single bite of food.

When Mr. Pei saw this scene, he felt guilty. He originally wanted to thank the princess, but now he got her drunk...

This……

In the next few days, Mr. Pei enthusiastically tried to persuade them to stay, holding banquets every day. He made sure to entertain Jiujiu and Dijiang well, so he stopped apologizing and thanking them every day.

The two of them were also ready to get down to business and investigate Zhongzhou Prefecture.

They still live in Pei's house, but go out every day.

Today, when the two of them went out to Zhongzhou Mansion, they saw many skinny people on the road.

They were so thin that the bones on their bodies were protruding, and there was not much flesh on their faces. Their eye sockets were sunken and their cheekbones were protruding. They looked listless and decadent.

There are also some people who are about to enter winter. The clothes they wear are too thin and have a lot of patches. They are in tatters and still cannot keep out the cold and cannot allow them to survive the winter safely.

Jiujiu looked at these people along the way and felt sorry for them. "Brother Dijiang, how did Zhongzhou become like this? Why are there so many people suffering? I heard that Zhongzhou used to be a prosperous place, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, with their doors open at night. But now..."

Di Jiang also looked at the people suffering in the streets and clenched his fists involuntarily. "You have to ask the people in Zhongzhou Prefecture how they govern Zhongzhou."

"I'll ask again tomorrow. How about we set up a porridge shed today, give out porridge, and then distribute cotton-padded clothes to everyone?"

"Anyway, we have already arrived in Zhongzhou and are preparing to go to Zhongzhou Mansion. There is no rush in the next day or two, but they..."

Jiujiu looked at the many thinly dressed and frail people on the street, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's true that they can't wait."

After Di Jiang heard this, he took a serious look at Jiujiu. He saw that Jiujiu's face was full of sadness, his eyes were full of pity, and he said happily: "Our Jiujiu has really grown up."

"Really grown up?"

【Nine Nine One I still feel like a little girl. 】

【Didn’t grow up. 】

"Yes." Di Jiang's eyes were full of tenderness, "I know that the world is vast, but I still pity the green grass and trees. Jiujiu has not grown up."

"If that's the case, then it is true." Jiujiu nodded.

Dijiang smiled and said, "Okay, let's listen to Jiujiu from now on. We won't go to Zhongzhou Prefecture for now. We will open a porridge stall, give out porridge, and give away cotton clothes."

The hidden guards around the two people came out to help, and Qingshu and Pei Qingning were not left behind either.

Everyone built porridge sheds, cooked porridge, and distributed porridge to the people.

Jiujiu and Dijiang took the initiative to pay out of their own pockets, bought some clothes, and distributed them to the poorly dressed people.

However, Zhongzhou is too big and there are too many people, so it is impossible to provide relief.

After one batch of relief, there is another batch.

This is not a long-term solution either.

After Jiujiu and his companions had provided relief to the common people for three days, on the first day of the Western Heaven, Jiujiu and Dijiang went to Zhongzhou Prefecture together to get an answer and find a solution.

When the two approached Zhongzhou Prefecture, Zhongzhou became a completely different world.

The streets are neat and clean, and the passers-by are well-dressed. Even the stall owner is dressed unusually, wearing clothes made of brocade, and his hair is combed meticulously.

Walking closer, I saw that the rotten wine and meat next to the restaurant had been thrown into the garbage incineration area and were being burned.

Here and outside are two completely different worlds.

The rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets. This is the most realistic portrayal.

It was the first time that Jiujiu and Dijiang had seen such a situation. Their faces were tense and their fists were clenched so hard that their knuckles turned white.

After arriving at Zhongzhou Prefecture, the two men looked at the fresh fruits and snacks placed on the table, and their minds were filled with scenes of the people in tattered clothes and the burning of rotten meat next to the restaurant.

The two people were received personally by the Lord of Zhongzhou Mansion.

The prince has a big belly, a fat head and big ears, and he looks like someone who lives a good life.

Seeing that the two of them were worried, he didn't think too much and said with a smile: "Princess, Your Majesty, since you have come to Zhongzhou for a visit, you must have fun."

"My Zhongzhou is a rich land with beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, and beautiful people. Where do you want to go? I can take you there personally."

"My eldest son is about the same age as you two, so he can keep you company. This way, we will have more topics to talk about."

"They are all young people."

Mr. Fu smiled as he spoke, and the fat on his big belly swayed with his laughter.

Di Jiang sneered and asked meaningfully, "My Lord, is it true? Is Zhongzhou still a prosperous place? Are there still beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, and beautiful people?"

"Of course it's true." The Lord of the Mansion said without blushing or beating his heart, "I am the Lord of Zhongzhou Mansion, in charge of the entire Zhongzhou. The Supreme Alliance is also managed by me. No one knows the situation in Zhongzhou better than me."

"Zhongzhou is really richer and more peaceful than other countries. The people live and work in peace and contentment. They don't close their homes at night and live a good life."

"The population of Zhongzhou is increasing every year, and there are not enough fields to divide it! Hahaha."
