Prefect Yue nodded, "Young Master Li, this official does not need to worry." A room beside the ninth prince was being prepared for Young Master Li. I heard that Young Master Li is not used to sitting in a sedan, and there's no need for you to stay here for the night. "

As Prefect Yue spoke, the servant opened the door for Song Qingyu.

"Thank you very much. The Lord Prefect is too courteous. "

Song Qingyu thanked him and walked into the room. Nannan immediately closed the door.

Hurrying into the room, Song Qingyu felt Nannan's steps as she said, "Nannan don't worry, there is nothing going on between me and the Ninth Prince."

"But miss, you are really different. "Ever since she met the ninth prince, the young miss seemed to have smiled more and more." Nannan said with a distressed expression, "Although this servant knows that I cannot interfere with the Miss's choice, but what if the Ninth Prince deliberately deceives the Miss, provoking the relationship between the Young Miss and King Yu …"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Since I won't get involved with the ninth prince too much, the ninth prince wouldn't even risk his life just to deceive me. After leaving Yue Cheng, I will be in the Song Residence, and he will be in the Royal Palace. Song Qingyu calmly analyzed the situation for her.

Nannan sounded as if there was a reason behind it.

Early the next morning, Song Qingyu accompanied Zuo Linyi out. The officials of Yue City had all changed to horse-drawn carriages. From the inn to the north gate.

Many tents had been set up outside the North City gates overnight. The refugees looked like beggars. In addition to the elderly, women, and children, there were also a lot of young people in decline. The black mass of people gathered at the food depot.

Many long tables were set up in the food distribution area. Behind them was a tall platform. The high platform was very exquisite in its construction, and a few tables and chairs were placed on it.

With a loud roar, he said, "The ninth prince has arrived."

All the people present kneeled down one after another, "The ninth prince is thousands of years old."

The few of them went up onto the stage. Zuo Linyi was at the front most central position. After the incident last night, the Duke of Yue knew that Song Qingyu held a high position in Zuo Lanyi's heart. He intentionally placed a seat next to Zuo Lanyi, leaving it for Song Qingyu.

Zuo Linyi was wearing a white and cyan tight suit today. In the warm spring breeze, he appeared exceptionally ordinary.

He sat in the upright position and looked at the crowd. Then, he gently raised his hand and said the word 'no'.

"Thank you, Ninth Prince."

Department Head Yue returned to his seat and flattered: "Ninth Prince, the food for the disaster has been completely prepared. According to the plan, every day for half a month, we would distribute rice to the refugees, and the surplus would be exchanged for crushed silver to be distributed. "

"Where's the rice?" Zuo Linyi picked up the teacup on the table beside him and glanced at the people waiting to pay for the food.

Prefecture Overseer Yue quickly pointed in a direction for Zuo Linyi. "They've already been released from the granary. Every day, there are a hundred bags." "Rest assured, ninth prince."

Zuo Linyi looked over and saw that high bags of food were being piled up on the far right.

"As a Prefect, Lord Yue is indeed meticulous in his conduct. This prince is completely at ease that the matter of the refugees should be left to Lord Yue. This prince will truthfully explain what happened here to royal father. "

When Prefect Yue heard this, he was overjoyed. He could not conceal the joy on his face, "This is the duty of this official."

Half a month is too long. This prince is afraid that I won't be able to stay here for too long and will have to depart in a day. For example, these grains will be distributed in half a month's time. Zuo Linyi frowned as he spoke, as if he had encountered something difficult.

"If the Ninth Prince has a lot of things to do in the capital, he will prepare the ship for the Ninth Prince to return to. We are enough here. "

"No, this is what this prince thinks. "Giving out food is not as good as giving out silver directly, it's clean and tidy."

Hearing this, the audience thought that Zuo Linyi was an amateur. Even Prefect Yue couldn't help but sneer in his heart. However, the other party was Zuo Linyi, so they did not dare to act presumptuously. "The Ninth Prince might not know, but this is the first time he's giving out assistance …"

The Ninth Prince waved his hand and interrupted him, saying in a deep voice: "Open the granary and distribute rice widely." "Immediately get someone to bring them over. Each of them will take a bag. If there's not enough, we can make it up to them immediately."

"But this bag of rice is enough …"

"This prince remembers that the Prefect told him yesterday that everything was prepared. Could it be that he is unable to distribute any of this rice?" It's just these refugees, why would distributing the rice take up to half a month? " Zuo Linyi frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, looking at him suspiciously. "Is the Prefect in a difficult position?"

When Prefect Yue heard this, he nodded guiltily and immediately replied, "It's not difficult at all. Since it's the ninth prince's wish, then this official will go and handle it."

As he said this, he immediately instructed a servant beside him, "Immediately bring all the rice from the granary here." and control the order of the refugees. "

"Yes." The attendant replied and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute. Oh, and the rest of the silver from the warehouse. I'll distribute them together with you today." This prince doesn't like to procrastinate. There is no need to delay any more things that can be resolved today. " Zuo Linyi said, casually sipping a mouthful of tea. "It's a mess here. If we had settled this earlier, this prince's return ship would have been prepared as well."

Prefect Yue was surprised for a moment as he looked at Zuo Linyi. From the looks of it, his casual words seemed to make sense.

"Yes."

As he spoke, he signaled the servant. The servant was in an exceptionally awkward position. He stood there and gave a meaningful look to the Duke of Yue.

"Ninth Prince, please wait a moment, your subordinate will handle this matter."

As he spoke, he brought the servant down the stage and turned around the corner to hide.

"Sir, this Ninth Prince really doesn't know anything. It's easy to fool him." Seeing how he lived like a prince, he would not check the granary. I went back and put the good rice on the surface and piled it up with sand. It was exactly as the ninth prince had intended, a bag for each of them. No one would be able to find out without opening the bag. After the Ninth Prince left, we settled this group of refugees. "

Prefect Yue frowned, "You have to be careful." The Ninth Prince had arranged all this for no reason at all, firstly it was because he was not used to this kind of place, and secondly it was because he had really discovered something. If it was the latter, it would be troublesome. When you go and prepare, prepare several bags of good rice. "

"Yes, but those three big boxes of silver were originally prepared to be directly delivered to the upper echelons. Now that the ninth prince wants to pay the silver, what should be done?"

"Right now, I can only stay a little less at the yamen and exchange more of it for crushed silver. It will be explained to the higher-ups that we are not the ones who have fallen down. This is just a small matter, trying to fool the Ninth Prince, can be considered a success. "

"Alright, my lord, I will do it right away."

Prefect Yue nodded and returned to the high platform with a relieved expression on his face.

Zuo Linyi was a bit impatient from waiting so he lazily leaned on the chair and clicked his tongue, "Lord Yue, hurry them up and do what you have to do." It was a pity that there was no song and dance. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so tired. Oh right, the song and dance class that Lord Yue invited yesterday was not bad, especially the one playing the zither. Unfortunately, this prince drank too much. "

Everyone coughed lightly. This was a relief, so how could there be music or dancing? This ninth prince was too much of a prankster.

Furthermore, the one who played the zither was introduced by Prefect Yue last night. She was the daughter of Prefect Yue, the young miss of the Yue family. If it was placed in Yue City, it would be the young miss of the Yue Clan.

With just a few words, he had actually put Yue Zhijun on the same level as an ordinary girl.

As expected, the crowd saw that Prefect Yue's expression was a little strange.

"Reporting to the Ninth Prince, that is the daughter of an official. The ninth prince might really not remember. If the Ninth Prince wishes to watch music and dance, go back and have people prepare. "
