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

Chapter 251

Gu Siyi went to war and interrogated Lu Ting several times, and he also investigated the guards.

The wind and waves were strong, but there was no gain.

In addition to blaming Lu Ting, who led the team this time, the rice and silver used for disaster relief have never disappeared.Where did all that money go?Whose dirty bag did it flow into?

Know nothing.

Hearing that Gu Siyi's investigation was fruitless, he was ruthless and punished a few people, knocking down dozens of people with boards, causing those people to almost lose their lives.

As the leader personally appointed by the emperor, Lu Ting was the first to bear the brunt and suffered deeply.

"Third Prince, I really don't know!" Lu Ting, a grown man, cried and complained, his voice harsh.

"You don't know, you don't know that the rice grains were lost right under your nose?"

Gu Siyi sneered, "Hit me, I won't believe that this criminal hasn't opened his mouth yet."

The heart-wrenching shouts were heard far away, making people shudder. By the end of the fight, Lu Ting seemed to have lost all strength and could not speak.

"What about people?"

"I went to see you. There is still breath left. If the Third Highness continues to torture him, that person will be beaten to death." Chang Qing frowned, disapproval flashing in her expression.

Lu Ting was only a fifth-grade man, but he took the initiative to apply for the imperial examination and got the emperor's attention. How could he do such a thing?Even if he is not the real culprit behind the scenes, he, as the team leader, has nothing to do with it.

After thinking about it, Lu Ting probably wouldn't have done this if there wasn't something wrong with his brain.

"Arrange Chang'an to inspect the places where the guards passed by, and be careful wherever they stop."

"The servant knows."

On the surface, the matter was handed over to Gu Siyi for investigation, but Gu Siyuan was really worried. His method of investigating the case was brutal. If word spread, not only would the truth of the matter not be found out, but it would actually cause people to panic.

On the fifth day, the people ate chaff in the porridge.

That day, the guards brought several carts full of food to the disaster relief. Everyone saw it. Maybe the food had been replaced with old rotten rice. Now, there is a shortage of food and the court cannot count on it. It is inevitable that there will be many complaints from the victims. Complain.

"No matter how bad the harvest was in the past, I have never eaten such rotten rice. I don't even need it to feed animals!"

The man who spoke was angry and threw away the bowl in his hand. There were not a few grains of white rice in the bowl at all. The bowl of white porridge was boiled into a yellow soup with little water.

When it was splashed on the ground, several people around could smell the smell of old millet and rotten sesame seeds.

"The grain we handed over to the court was all white rice. Not a single household was short of a pound or two. How come it was the court's turn to provide disaster relief and all the rice turned into rotten rice!"

Xu Shao held the bowl, and the yellow soup could vaguely reveal a person's face. He sighed and took the initiative to step forward to appease the people.

"Everyone, please be patient. The imperial court is in temporary difficulty, but we have never forgotten the suffering people of Li. Your Highness the Prince works day and night, eats and lives with us, and does not enjoy any preferential treatment. You all also see this. In the eyes.”

"Let's just trust His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness will definitely give an explanation."

Only after Xu Shaoan revealed Gu Siyuan's name was he able to suppress the resentful people.

Even so, Xu Shao also knew that if food was not taken care of, if things went on like this, the victims would riot and it would be difficult to recover.

He asked to see Gu Siyuan.

"Your Highness, how is the investigation of the grain and grass ceremony going? Why has there been no news for so long? Your Highness doesn't know something. If I hadn't stopped those two people in time today, I'm afraid there would have been trouble in the camp."

Xu Shao slowly explained the matter, and Gu Siyuan's expression became darker.

Doesn't he know that time is running out?The matter was handed over to Gu Siyi for investigation. On the surface, Gu Siyuan could not intervene. Chang'an was already on the road today and could be investigated. After all, it would take some time.

Silently, Xu Shao was worried.

"Your Highness, throughout the ages, many dynasties have been overthrown. In the final analysis, it is about people's livelihood!"

Xu Shao spoke from the bottom of his heart, and Gu Siyuan knew it well.

"The Guhui gathered the people and explained the matter clearly in person."

"Your Highness!" Chang Qing, who was serving beside him, lost his voice.

This matter is not trivial. If it is not handled properly, people will panic and publicize this matter, which may damage the credibility of the court.

Gu Siyuan sneered, his voice getting colder, "Sitting alone as the prince in the south of the Yangtze River, there are actually people who dare to secretly steal the throne, escorted by the guards, and didn't notice anything strange."

The centipede insect, which is dead but not stiff, has to kill itself from within.

The guards are probably already eaten by insects.

……

"Brother Imperial! This matter is inappropriate. The matter has not yet been fully investigated. Why should we announce it to the victims?"

"They only know how to dig in the fields, how do they know the twists and turns?"

Gu Siyi knew Gu Siyuan's plan and was the first to stand up and object.

If the victims knew about his bad look, wouldn't it make him look incompetent? !

Gu Siyuan glanced at him lightly, and with just one glance, Gu Siyi shut his mouth.

"You are not allowed to make the decision on this matter."

Immediately, Gu Siyuan threw up his sleeves and left, leaving Gu Siyi with a gloomy expression in the tent.

Xu Shao had already gathered most of the people outside the tent, just waiting for the prince to come forward.
