Chapter 243 Plague breaks out in the disaster area, the prefect embezzles money

Xia He's face became increasingly ugly.

"My lady, do you think the silver will be..."

Having said that, Gu Lingshuang finally understood what was going on.

Her face became increasingly gloomy.

Then he asked the coachman to go to the government office.

The carriage was shaking violently on the muddy road.

Gu Lingshuang suppressed her anger.

The road they were walking on now was the mainland, which should have been paved with asphalt long ago, but it was still muddy. Apparently, the money for road construction had also been embezzled.

Xia He advised: "Your Highness, please calm down first, and don't let it make you sick."

Gu Lingshuang forced herself to suppress her anger. After about an incense stick of time, they finally arrived at the gate of the mansion.

When he saw the clean, tidy and extremely magnificent mansion, Gu Lingshuang could no longer suppress his anger.

"Break down the door for me."

After receiving the order, the coachman jumped off the carriage and began to bang on the door.

"Open the door——"

The sound of banging on the door continued.

The concierge inside began to bark like a mad dog.

"Who the hell is banging on the door here? Do you know where this is? This is the government office. How can anyone come here? They must be those vagrants or beggars. They are just causing trouble for me."

The doorman opened the door cursing, and then he saw three people standing outside.

Standing in front of the door was a middle-aged man dressed as a groom, with two women behind him.

A woman of extraordinary beauty, with a bun on her hair, one could tell at first glance that she was the wife of a wealthy family.

Next to her stood a young girl, who was also dressed very elegantly. She didn't look like a maid but more like a young lady.

When the doorman saw Gu Lingshuang's noble temperament, he was stunned at first, but when he thought that this was his master's territory, he was no longer afraid.

He straightened his back and asked, "Who are you? Are you blind? Can't you see where this is?"

"Get lost, you poor bastards who have never seen time."

When the groom saw that a small doorman was humiliating the Queen, his face suddenly darkened.

He looked at Gu Lingshuang, and when he saw Gu Lingshuang nod, he grabbed the doorman by the collar and threw him out easily.

The doorman was hit hard by the fall. He lay on the ground crying and shouting, and he couldn't get up again.

Gu Lingshuang entered the mansion with the help of Xia He, and then went straight to the main hall.

However, before he reached the main hall, he encountered a group of palace soldiers.

The palace soldiers all pointed their swords and guns at Gu Lingshuang, Xia He and the groom.

"Who are you three? How dare you break into the government office? It seems you want to do something illegal. Prepare to die."

These palace soldiers were extremely arrogant and unreasonable. They started attacking Gu Lingshuang and others without asking any reasons.

Xia He protected Gu Lingshuang behind her.

The groom thought he was asking for death and immediately agreed.

He looks like a groom, but he was actually a secret guard before. This time, Xiao Ziming was worried about Gu Lingshuang, so he asked one of the secret guards to be her groom and protect Gu Lingshuang along the way.

Unexpectedly, although the journey was particularly smooth, we encountered trouble when we arrived at the government office.

Judging from the attitude of the doorman and the palace guards, the county magistrate here is not a good person either.

The groom's kung fu was so good that he knocked down more than a dozen palace soldiers.

Gu Lingshuang and Xia He walked past the palace soldiers.

They had walked less than three feet when a soldier suddenly stood up behind them, raised his knife and rushed towards Gu Lingshuang's head.

Gu Lingshuang sensed the danger and turned around immediately with a pistol in his hand.

"Bam—"

After one shot, the man was shot in the head and died.

This directly frightened the other soldiers lying on the ground and they dared not attack them anymore.

Gu Lingshuang, holding a gun in his hand, walked forward with Xia He and the coachman.

Along the way, there were always people who wanted to hinder them, but Gu Lingshuang was ruthless and shot them all to death, without even giving them a chance to regret.

At this moment, no one dared to step forward.

They made it to the main hall.

It was now time for lunch. Gu Lingshuang could smell the fragrance of the food before she even arrived. From the taste, she could tell that there was delicious fish and meat in it.

Gu Lingshuang suddenly became furious.

The people outside were hungry, cold and clothed, and were plagued by plague. However, the officials, as the parents of the country, hid in the government office, eating and drinking to their heart's content, and did not care about the lives of the people outside at all.

Perhaps it was because he was overseeing the scene of the people in Shengjing City living and working in peace and contentment, Gu Lingshuang couldn't believe it when he saw such a scene for the first time.

Only a woman's voice was heard.

"Master, we are really rich this time. The funds for disaster relief and plague treatment add up to more than one million taels. I estimate that there will be a lot of silver in the future."

"Yes, after I make all this money, I will retire and return to my hometown to enjoy my remaining years in peace."

"Master, you must take me with you."

"Of course, you are my concubine, so I will take you with me."

After listening to their conversation, Gu Lingshuang was furious.

Especially the woman's voice, which made Gu Lingshuang hate it so much, because she was so familiar with this woman's voice.

The owner of this voice was none other than Aunt Zhao Sirou.

Didn’t she leave Daxia?

That’s true, and she is very ambitious. She wants to find a safe country to become a favorite concubine.

However, she failed to realize her wish as people from other countries excluded her because of her foreign accent.

Moreover, she couldn't enter the palace whenever she wanted, so she could only return home in disgrace. Relying on her beauty and her ability to serve men, she became the favorite concubine of the local prefect.

The prefect favored his concubine and neglected his wife for her sake. At her instigation, he accepted bribes and embezzled all the money for disaster relief.

This was the area worst hit by the disaster. The people were waiting day by day for the emperor to allocate funds for disaster relief. However, they waited and waited, and instead of relief, they saw the outbreak of the plague.

The people were living in dire straits, hundreds of people died every day, and they were all in despair.

The people in the government office had good food and drink and indulged in music and singing every day. The common people complained but could do nothing about it.

It is at this time that the bone age core comes.

Listening to the laughter of the two people inside, Gu Lingshuang's forehead veins throbbed.

These two scumbags deserve to die.

Gu Lingshuang gave the coachman a look.

The groom understood, walked forward and kicked the door open.

"Dangdang!"

The loud noise startled the people who were having dinner inside and made them jump.

The prefect was furious: "Who is this damn bastard?"

He turned around, and when he saw Gu Lingshuang and Xia He, his angry eyes immediately became lustful.

"Hey! Where did you come from, beautiful lady? Are you a disaster victim? Are you hungry? As long as you two let me sleep, I promise to feed you well and pamper you in bed every day. How about that?"

His smile was particularly lewd, but the moment Zhao Sirou, who was beside him, saw Gu Lingshuang, her face turned green with fright.

Gu Lingshuang ignored the prefect and looked at Zhao Sirou coldly.

"Aunt Zhao, it's been a long time."
