The vicious female supporting role is ruthless and arrogant

Chapter 397 The Court Has Not Given Up on You

After making sure everyone had received food, Jun Yuyang whispered to the refugees:

“Don’t worry, the court has not given up on you.

More than 20 days ago, the court's disaster relief grain and funds had already been sent from the capital to Licheng.

In theory, it should have arrived a long time ago.

At present, it is still unknown why the relief food and funds have not reached the hands of the victims. I will need some time to investigate.

Just wait outside the city gate."

At this time, a refugee squatting at Jun Yuyang's feet raised his hand, "Sir, I have something to say."

Jun Yuyang glanced at the handsome young man and said, "You say."

"Ten days ago, my brother and I were so hungry that we decided to try our luck in the mountains and see if we could get some game.

He jumped up and down and searched for several times, but found no prey.

But we accidentally saw a government team dragging a lot of large sacks into the mountains.

We followed him all the way, but then we lost him inexplicably.

The group of government officials seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."

"Are you sure you're not dazzled by hunger?" Xing Luo asked with a frown.

“Sir, I was very hungry at the time, but not to the point of being dizzy. I saw the government troops clearly.

Oh, by the way, there was a seal on the sack.

It’s just a little far away, so I can’t clearly see what’s written on the seal.”

Jun Yuyang and Xing Luo looked at each other. The young man didn’t know what was sealed on it, but they knew.

The number and seal of the disaster relief grain!

"Can you still find the place where you saw the government team?"

Jun Yuyang asked.

The boy thought about it and turned to look at the middle-aged couple behind him.

"Xiao Heng, the master is doing this for everyone's good. If you still remember, take him with you." said the middle-aged man.

"I remember."

Jun Yuyang nodded, squatted down and patted the boy's arm.

"Don't worry, I will ensure your safety."

After saying that, he stood up and said coldly to the victims:

"Don't worry, I will find a way to send you food in the evening.

But for your safety, you must not let the government officials notice anything.

Since the Licheng government wants to deceive their superiors and conceal the truth from their subordinates, if they knew that you were rescued by someone, they would definitely kill you to cover up the mistakes they made.

Do you understand? "

"Understand, understand, understand..." the victims responded in a low voice.

Jun Yuyang looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost dawn.

He turned to Zhu Jin and said:

"Thank you, Miss Zhu, for tonight.

The original plan was to escort you back to the capital after finishing the business in Licheng.

But in this situation, I might be tempted to speak out of turn.

Can I arrange for someone else to escort Miss Zhu back to the capital?"

Zhu Jin thought about it and looked Jun Yuyang up and down again.

“When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility.

I'm going to stay and help.

I can’t help with many things, but I can go to the surrounding towns and collect food to distribute to the victims.”

Jun Yuyang was a little surprised. If it were any other girl, she would have been scared away long ago.

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble Miss Zhu. When this is over, I will personally escort you back to the capital.

It's almost dawn, let's go to the carriage and take a nap."

"Okay, then take me there."

Jun Yuyang didn't think much about it, nodded, and took her towards the carriage.

Before Zhu Jin got on the carriage, he bent down and took out two account books from his boots and handed them to Jun Yuyang.

"I know you are not an ordinary person, but I am sure that you are a good person who cares about the country and the people.

You keep this account book.

If anything happens to me in the future at the hands of my scumbag father and aunt, you must find a way to hand this account book over to the emperor and punish those corrupt officials who sucked the blood of the people."

Jun Yuyang did not refuse, this is solid evidence.

He took the account book, reached out and touched Zhu Jin's head, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you, and I won't let any corrupt officials go."

His movements were smooth and natural.

Zhu Jin's face had already turned red, and his heart was pounding.

She gently slapped Jun Yuyang's hand away and said, "I'm not a child anymore, you are not allowed to touch my head."

After saying that, he turned around and got on the carriage.

Xing Luo stood behind Jun Yuyang and pursed her lips. It seemed that the girl from the Zhu family had fallen in love with the prince.

The prince is so thick-skinned that he probably hasn't reacted yet.

Should I remind him indirectly?

This young lady of the Zhu family may not have a good background from her family, but her maternal family has a very strong background.

Although the prince does not need the support of any court official to succeed to the throne, it is better to have a powerful wife's family to help him in his career than to act on his own.

Jun Yuxue is about to marry into the Jingyang Marquisate, which holds a large number of troops, which is equivalent to holding military power.

If you can control the prime minister's family of civil officials, wouldn't you be able to have both civil and military power?

After dawn, Jun Yuyang left a stack of banknotes in the carriage, and he and Xing Luo took the young man to the mountain.

Zhu Jin woke up and opened the curtain of the carriage. A man in black was standing next to the carriage.

The man saw Zhu Jin wake up and bowed with both hands, "Miss Zhu, my master ordered me to escort you to the surrounding towns to collect food."

Zhu Jin looked the man in black up and down. She didn't ask anything, but nodded and said:

"Okay, let's go now.

We spent most of the day collecting yesterday and only just managed to get enough to distribute to the disaster victims.

If we set out earlier today, we might be able to harvest more."

"Miss Zhu, the master has told us that in order to avoid alerting the enemy, we only need to collect from the few houses we collected from yesterday.

The young master paid deposits to the stores you collected yesterday and asked them to prepare them in advance."

Zhu Jin's lips curled up slightly, that man was really meticulous.

"Okay, let's not waste any more time and get going."

The man in black jumped onto the carriage, cracked the whip and drove away.

Jun Yuyang and Xing Luo went down the mountain under the guidance of the young man.

“My brother and I saw the government team at this intersection.

We followed him for about 200 meters, and then lost him near the rock in front.

Jun Yuyang glanced into the distance and winked at Xing Luo.

Xing Luo took out a paper bag from his arms and stuffed it into the boy's hand.

“We are worried about the danger on the road ahead, so we won’t take you with us.

Can you go back by yourself?"

The boy could smell the aroma of the meat patty through the paper package, and he was so greedy that his saliva was watering.

He nodded and stuffed the paper bag into his arms, "I can go back by myself, sir, please be careful."

Jun Yuyang smiled and nodded, and the boy turned and left.

After the young man left, the two quickly ran towards the big rock.

The two searched for several rounds but couldn't find anything unusual around here.

"Prince, is that little brat going to trick us just for a little food?" Xing Luo said irritably.

Jun Yuyang frowned and said nothing. He was not a saint and thought that all children were as simple-minded and unguarded as Zhu Jin.

What Xing Luo said is entirely possible.

"Prince, there is a voice."

The two looked around and found that there was no place to hide, so they simply stood on tiptoe and used their lightness skills to fly up the tree.

Wow...

The large rock standing halfway up the slope suddenly moved, revealing the entrance to a cave.

Two men dressed in yamen uniforms walked out.

"What if all those bastards outside the city are still alive?"

"Then keep the city gates closed and let them continue to starve.

If you don’t starve to death after a while, then just…” One of the bailiffs said, putting his hand on the neck and scratching it.

"What a cheap life! The more cheap the life, the harder the bones and flesh are..."

"you do not say……"

The two gradually walked away, and Jun Yuyang and Xing Luo jumped down from the tree.

Xing Luo tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, his eyes red as he said:

"Master, I'm going to kill those two bastards."

Jun Yuyang pulled Xing Luo back.

"Catch the leader first..."

Xing Luo was so angry that his nostrils flared and closed, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"How many drugs do you have on you?"

Xing Luo took out five bamboo tubes and three smoke bombs from his arms.

"That's all."

"Let's go and catch up with those two bailiffs."

A stick of incense later, Jun Yuyang and Xing Luo, dressed in yamen servants' clothes, stood in front of the rock and groped for the mechanism.

It took almost half an hour to find the location of the switch. It was a decorated thin iron chain on the edge of the rock.

The rock was removed with a crash, and it was pitch black inside, with nothing visible.

The two men stood at the door and looked vigilantly for a long time before cautiously entering the cave.

After entering, Jun Yuyang did not rush to go inside immediately, but used the light from outside to look for the mechanism to open the door from the inside.

The mechanism to open the door from the inside is very easy to find. It is a ball switch. Press it and the door will close.

The door was closed and it was pitch dark inside.

Jun Yuyang took out the special fire starter given by his mother and lit it up.

After walking through the cold and damp tunnel for half an hour, we arrived at a place that looked like a small square. In addition to the food for the disaster relief, there were also a lot of other food that were not sealed.

Seeing the grain, the two guessed that the relief grain was most likely embezzled by the local government.

"Master, did you hear any ding-dong sounds?" Xing Luo squinted his eyes and pricked up his ears to listen everywhere.

Jun Yuyang also closed his eyes, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to the movement.

After a long time, the two opened their eyes and said in unison:

"East..."

"Let's go and take a look." Jun Yuyang took the lead and walked eastward.

The clanking sounds became louder and louder, accompanied by scolding and the sound of whips.

"Be quick, or you won't even have a sip of urine to drink, so forget about eating."

"What are you looking at, you little bastard? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyes."

"Hurry up, old man. Believe it or not, I will make you die immediately."

A man in his thirties, holding a whip in his hand, whipped the ground.

Jun Yuyang, who was lying at the entrance of the cave, hugged Xing Luo tightly.

"Master, they actually secretly mined gold, which is a capital crime.

Let the little one go in and kill those bastards."

"Calm down. Such a big thing is definitely not something a local official would dare to do. We must find out who is behind it.

If you rush in now, you will alert the enemy and fail.

Go, leave first."
