Song Xuan leaned over and said, "I just dealt with something in the city."

"What's the matter?" Pei Yuanxiu said this. Although there was no angry expression on his face and no anger in his voice, he could hear a kind of depression that made everyone feel a little trembling: "What's the matter more important than letting you watch the imperial city?"

Song Xuan remained calm and bowed: "Of course it's the master's cause."

"oh?"

Pei Yuanxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him.

Song Xuan said, "Young Master's--" He looked at Pei Yuanxiu, then looked at the generals behind Pei Yuanxiu, and said, "The people brought by the young master from Jinling are really unreasonable. As soon as he entered the capital, he plundered and did everything evil. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I punished them."

As soon as he finished speaking, several generals behind Pei Yuanxiu pointed at him and started to curse angrily-

"What did you say?"

"Dare you talking about our people?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Song Xuan said: "I don't. I caught those people. They were all under the command of several generals, and there were three deputy generals. They broke into the homes of ordinary people. Some families were empty and they just let them rob, but some people, who were still there, dared to drag the women in their houses out in the street and humiliate them--"

Speaking of this, he seemed to be unable to continue talking. He bit his teeth hard and said, "I will never tolerate such a thing happening!"

The few people were not convinced and cursed angrily: "You must be talking nonsense!"

"Yes, why do you say it's ours!"

"You're swearing!"

"Besides, what's wrong with getting something?"

As soon as the last person said the words, Pei Yuanxiu looked back at him. The man seemed to suddenly remember the way Pei Yuanxiu killed those people just now and hurriedly covered his mouth.

And I listened aside and felt chill all over.

What I can see in the palace is what I can, and I can try to gain some room for survival for them. In the city, as long as Song Xuan sees it, those people will be rescued, but there are other places? In such a huge capital, there are always some that have not had time to withdraw, or that things cannot be taken away at all. How many have they encountered such plunder and humiliation?

Thinking of this, I felt a cramp in my heart.

Pei Yuanxiu frowned and didn't say anything for a while.

The generals looked at each other, and one of them turned his eyes and immediately pointed at Song Xuan and said, "Young Master Song, if you have time to meddle in this little business, why don't you do what the young master told me? Whose person are you?!"

Obviously, I still want to re-mentioned the "spy" issue mentioned before.

Pei Yuanxiu also glanced at him.

Song Xuan said seriously: "Nosy business? Do you think this is nosy business?"

"Hmph, what is the matter of a few ordinary people, not nothing?"

"That's right, what we are going to do today is a major event that will open up the world. If you care about the matter of roosters and dogs, you will be able to take on the matter of misleading the young master?!"

When I heard them say this, I could feel Song Xuan's eyes turning redder, but he laughed instead of anger and said, "You are talking about great things that are so great that the world is created? What is the hardship of the people?! You treat them as fish on the chopping board and think they can be slaughtered, but don't forget that the people are the foundation of the country. If you don't take them seriously, they will really not take you seriously in the future!"

His words were loud and loud, and the echoes back and forth in this empty bedroom made everyone tremble.

Pei Yuanxiu looked up at him, frowned slightly, as if he was looking at this person seriously for the first time.

But I stood behind him, but at this time I felt a little uneasy.

There is no such person around Pei Yuanxiu.

All the people under his command were like the generals just now, like Song Xuan's father and brother, Han sister, and Zhou Chengyin from Huai'an, were powerful and gentry, and were all people competing for profit with the people. But at this time, Song Xuan's words were obviously contrary to the consciousness of all of them!

I looked at him anxiously and shook my head gently.

Song Xuan also glanced at me in the corner of his eyes, and immediately came over. When he looked at Pei Yuanxiu again, he hurriedly said: "Young Master, after all, we have just entered the capital, and there is no food or grass. If we still have to have a conflict with the people at this time, it will be difficult to read the next day."

When Pei Yuanxiu heard this, he seemed to feel something: "What did you say?"

Song Xuan immediately said: "In the early morning, the city gate had just opened, and the people from Shengjing had already gone to the treasury."

"Oh? Then—"

"There is almost no money left."

“…”

"I heard that there is almost only a little grain and grass left in the granary."

He stepped forward and whispered: "If it weren't for the fact that there was no money in the treasury, it might have been taken away, or--" He glanced at Pei Yuanxiu, did not continue, and said: "But no matter what, there is not enough food and grass, and we are still very difficult to bear this winter, so we can no longer have conflicts with the people."

When he said this, Pei Yuanxiu frowned and murmured: "Is the treasury empty?"

I stood behind him, and at this time I was already sweating all over.

Before, I had always been worried about things and had never been able to resolve the doubts. At this time, I understood a little bit - the treasury is empty.

When I was in the capital before, Pei Yuanhao was always worried about money. The money he fought in war. He wanted to take the money from Xichuan and Liu Qinghan, but the matter was not done. Later, I also knew that because Nangong Jinhong contacted the powerful gentry from various places all the way and blocked the winter food and grass transported from the south to the north, the treasury was empty and there was insufficient food and grass. This is the truth.

However, it is not so empty that it cannot last for a month or a day.

Judging from the current situation, Pei Yuanhao probably had such a plan long ago.

Did he plan to leave from the beginning and leave an empty capital for Pei Yuanxiu?

No, this is too ridiculous. This is not only a capital city, but also a dynasty, and his world. How could a person like him retreat without fighting and abandon his dream of creating a prosperous era?

I was confused for a moment, and at this moment, Pei Yuanxiu said, "Let it go temporarily. Song Xuan, I have something to arrange for you to do."
