Wang Yaner take the child to hide in the room first, and then she ran to Mu's side, "Mother, please go into the house first."Su Yusheng's eyes were bloodshot red, and it was clear he was still ill.Upo...After finishing her instructions to Fu Ming, Fang Jinxiu continued with her work.

On the way back, Fu Ming had been gloomy all the time, and Shen Li was a little worried about his master's condition.

"Your Highness, are you still feeling unwell"

"Shen Li, look at the people of Xizhou, they are living like this. Do you think Father knows"

As for matters of state, Shen Li's personal guard wouldn't dare to speak out.

He lowered his head and dared not speak, so Fu Ming could only continue to talk to himself.

Probably doesn't know.

Shen Li thought for a moment. Although he couldn't speak freely about state affairs, he could tell his master about what had happened.

"Your Highness, shortly after the drought in Xizhou, the imperial court allocated relief funds and seventy million bushels of grain to this place. Several irrigation canals were also built."

Fu Ming was taken aback. "So Father knows about the drought in Xi Zhou"

"Disaster relief funds, 700,000 silver taels worth of grain for planting, hmph!"

"Do you see how the people here look like they've received relief funds and grain from the imperial court"

Shen Li lowered his head again.

Fu Ming's face was pale. He had to get to the bottom of this, find out who was stirring up trouble.

"Let's pack up and head back to Beijing right away!"

Shen Li hurriedly stopped him, “Your Highness, don’t!”

The people hunting the prince have informants at every city gate in Xizhou. If the prince recklessly returns to the capital, he will undoubtedly fall into danger again.

Fu Ming was a bit angry, "Then what do you suggest Should I just keep hiding and watch the people of Xi Zhou freeze and starve"

Here, they are all his majesty's subjects. Fu Ming had never been so far from home before. Seeing the prosperity and stability of life among the common people in the capital city, he thought that all the people throughout the country lived about the same way.

It turned out that in a place he had never been before, there were people living such hardship.

He couldn't bear it.

"Your Highness, returning to the capital is inevitable, but we must have a foolproof plan."

"We need to avoid those people's gazes and sneak back to Beijing."

"Otherwise, if Your Highness is captured, who else can report the true situation of the people of Xizhou to His Majesty"

Shen Li makes a good point.

Fu Ming was silent for a while.

Suddenly, he thought of a person, "We can ask Fang Jinshi for help."

"Since she is a skilled physician, I'll bring her back to have my mother treated!"

With her intellect, she's sure to help us devise a foolproof plan to return to the capital safely.

Just after finishing his rounds, Fang Jinshi suddenly sneezed violently and his head began to feel dizzy.

After Zongyu finished her business, he just pulled the person into the room and poured her a bowl of ginger tea.

This ginger tea was personally made by Fang Jinshiu, and it has a very good effect of dispelling cold.

After sipping two cups of hot ginger tea, Fang Jinshu felt her body warming up. She had been outside for too long and was completely chilled.

"Is winter usually this cold in Xi Zhou"

If there were a thermometer, the outdoor temperature in Xizhou would definitely be around minus ten to twenty degrees.

"It's not this cold in previous years," Zong Yu shook his head.

That means this year has been especially unlucky, hasn't it

"Ah Yu, Fu Ming's grain has arrived. Tomorrow, let's haul his batch to the county office for Mr. Pan."

"I've left them enough food to last the winter in these villages. The rest is up to them whether they can make it through."

Zongyu nodded, they had done all they could.

"By the way, I went to several villages today and found traces of people from Wumeng."

"Huh The traps on the mountain couldn't stop them They found us this quickly"

"No."

"According to villagers, they heard screams coming from the mountains, and there was also a severed human hand in the trap at the foot of the mountain."

"Looking at the clothing, it must be those people."

They found the village and tried to come down but were badly wounded by the traps, and finally ran away.

If they hadn't had that mischievous thought to touch those villages, they wouldn't have fallen into the trap.

Zongyu smiled, remembering the poorly-planned traps his wife had set up on the mountain. He couldn't help but grin wider.

Ordinary people set traps, either with ropes or deep pits.

The people of Wumeng had planted sharpened tree branches in deep pits, a cruel and vicious trap.

Fang Jinshu retaliated in kind, setting up several identical traps and deliberately leaving loopholes.

When they thought they had seen through the trap and were about to retreat, they would step into the chain of traps she had laid, being hoisted up by hemp ropes. Above them in the trees, several venomous snakes were tied up, hibernating for the winter.

A venomous snake has a very strong desire for revenge. Once disturbed, it will persistently bite those who have bothered it.

Besides, there were quite a few scorpions and centipedes on the tree. Fang Jinshi made some insect-attracting powder and put it there, specifically to attract these venomous creatures over.

Anyway, as long as they were hanged by hemp ropes and dragged to the trees, a bunch of good things were waiting to entertain those people from Wumeng. you bring sister-in-law out as soon as you came back Where are you going Aren't you having dinner"Zong Yu tucked his clothes into his arms and instructed Zong Bai, "You guys eat dinner first.
