Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 490

Looking at Mu Yunyao's pale face, a look of worry flashed in his eyes, "Yes, there's an inexplicable sudden death in Riverside County's magistrate. Subordinate feels that something is amiss, and I've also heard that River City's magistrate has constructed a cellar in his house to lock up any girls who disobey him.

Submerged by the water, the bag floated on the surface of the water. Furthermore, according to what your subordinate has observed, the water in the cellar was intentionally poured in by someone. Because the surrounding land is rather high and is located in the inner city, although some floods have come, it is impossible to fill up more than half of the cellar. "

Mu Yunyao suppressed the trembling in her heart and carefully checked her pocket. It was completely intact except for the rope that was attached to it being torn off. "Other than this, do you have any other clues?"

"Time is of the essence." "When your subordinate heard that Miss was coming to River City, he rushed here to wait for you. I didn't expect that you would actually arrive."

Mu Yunyao nodded. "I know, it's been hard on you. Do you have a reservation room? "

"Yes."

"That's good. Quickly go down and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will continue our journey and try to reach Riverside City as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The next morning, Mu Yunyao stood up early. Her entire body was aching, and the wounds on her legs and palms were both painful and swollen.

"Miss, we have rushed forward as fast as we can, why don't we rest here for a day …"

"No need."

At first, Mu Yunyao was able to ride on her own, but after a while, she really couldn't take it anymore. She had Si Qin and the other three to take turns with her before finally arriving at Riverside City three days later.

At this moment, Riverside City still had traces of having been devastated by the flood. There were mud and weeds everywhere, and there were even swollen and unharvested corpses of people and animals at the side of the street.

Mu Yunyao tightly knitted her brows. The scene before her eyes was too shocking. It was really hard to imagine that a prosperous city would turn into a living hell in the blink of an eye.

Six taels of silver were guarding Mu Yunyao's side, preventing the survivors from touching her. "Miss, this place is really too chaotic …" Mu Yunyao clenched her fists and said, "Six liang, you should go to Ziling City now and have Manager Qin gather the food and medicine there. Also, since the Zhixian County is dead, are there no other officials? Si Qin, take the gold medal given to me by your grandmother and summon the officials of Riverside City. Order them to spend half an hour with you …

If you fail to come after an hour, you will be punished with the crime of abandoning the city. " The only thing she could do was to make a big fuss. On one hand, she could attract the attention of the King and Jin Wang, and let them divert their attention to her. On the other hand, the greater the impact, the greater the chance King would have of finding her here.

As long as he heard the news, he would definitely rush here to meet her.

"Yes." Si Qin respectfully received the gold, bringing his guards and swiftly heading to the yamen.

Hearing the news of Mu Yunyao's arrival, Jiang You and the other officials couldn't help but dig their ears out. Princess Wen Xian? The granddaughter of the Grand Princess? If he did not want to be a good princess, and if he did not want to enjoy wealth and fortune, why would he come to Riverside City to watch the show?

They anxiously changed into their official robes and headed towards the street that Mu Yunyao was at.

At this time, because Mu Yunyao and the others had stopped, many of the victims had already gathered over. Most of them were old, weak, and children, and their appearances were even more miserable than those victims they had seen in the Spirit Tomb City. One by one, they extended their hands towards Mu Yunyao's direction, their black skin and shriveled arms depicting them as ghosts.

Mu Yunyao's brows tightly creased.

Very quickly, Jiang Tongzhi and the salt luck official were the first to arrive. When they saw Mu Yunyao, who was being protected by the people on the street, they were momentarily stunned. This princess Wen Xian seemed too delicate. How could such a delicate girl come all the way from the capital to Riverside City?

"Greetings, Princess Wen Xian."

Mu Yunyao lowered her gaze slightly. Looking at the clean and tidy official uniforms they wore, her eyes flashed with a cold light, "Stand up. Si Shu, how long will it take to last an hour? "

"Miss, there is still a quarter of an hour left."

"Yes." The two of them stood at the side and watched Mu Yunyao's cold expression. Their hearts couldn't help but tremble. After seeing her extraordinary bearing, the contempt in their hearts had been retracted quite a bit.

The clerk went up to report to Mu Yunyao. "Miss, the hour's up."

Mu Yunyao nodded and looked at the four people in front of her. "Four sirs, according to the daily calculations, it has been almost half a month since Riverside City suffered. Why are the victims on the streets still left unattended?"

It was not that the officials were not acting, but rather, the granary had been destroyed. Many people in the county had also died, and even the county magistrate had died. We had no way of knowing that we had the heart to take care of the victims. "

Mu Yunyao taunted, "You can cover up your guilt for not doing anything just because you said it? You are a local parentage officer, and you are in charge of salt, food, and river workers. Now that something has happened, the only thing that you have come up with is helplessness? " "Princess, this official has already tried his best, but is really limited by the conditions. Just before I came, I was still discussing the history of salt transportation and how I could settle the victims. Who knows what kind of people you are in a hurry for?"

"He summoned us all here..."

Si Qin and Si Cha rushed back. When they saw River County's magistrate court's judge, their eyes flashed with resentment. These two officials still had the mood to dance in the mansion. This was truly hateful!

Si Qin stepped forward and whispered a few words into Mu Yunyao's ear. Mu Yunyao coldly raised her eyes. "Milords, the time I set is one hour, you didn't follow the rules and rush there."

"Greetings, Princess. The two of us live slightly further away from each other. The roads are muddy, so …"

"I don't want to hear so many reasons. There are still many victims who have yet to be settled. Rather than listening to your nonsense, I might as well save this time to pacify them. Someone, drag the two of them away. "

"Princess, please forgive me. This official did not do it on purpose …" The guard behind Mu Yunyao walked forward and held the two of them in place. He unsheathed the sword in his hand and held it horizontally at their throats, as if he was waiting for an order to splash blood on the spot.
