The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Chapter 281: Food Delivery Incident 4

The old man knelt down again and burst into tears.

Shaodian Sishui stopped her immediately and said loudly, "The ground is cold, mothers and villagers, please get up."

The four words "mother, fellow villagers" sound particularly pleasant to the ears.

We all listened to it and kept it in our hearts.

Shaodian Si walked towards the high platform in front of the mansion gate and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Fellow villagers, please line up to receive food. The elderly, the weak, and the children will be given priority. Everyone else should line up at the back."

"The food in my palace is only available to you for free. There will be enough for you within seven days. You are not allowed to steal or cause trouble. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be executed without mercy."

"If anyone pretends to be a resident and wants to collect food, he will be beheaded!"

"Anyone who reports a fake registrant will be rewarded with a shell coin once the case is verified."

As she finished her words, there were gasps all around.

"Good! Sixth Prince Gao Yi!"

"Good! Sixth Prince Gao Yi!"

"Good! Sixth Prince Gao Yi!"

Shaodian Sishui raised his hand, and all the people stopped talking instantly.

She walked down the steps, looked at Shaodian Haolan, and said in a faint voice.

"Second sister, Shao Jincong has passed away. It's too late for you to come now!"

Although her voice was not loud, it was not small either, and the people around her could hear it.

The people queuing up to receive food pricked up their ears and turned back to look in this direction from time to time.

Shaodian Haolan looked ugly and a little gloomy.

It's not right to kneel, and it's not right not to kneel.

She was in a dilemma. If she knelt down and begged, those people would probably hate her and think she was pretending, which would also prevent them from getting the food.

But if she didn't ask, how could she show her affectionate nature in front of outsiders?

After thinking about it, Shaodian Haolan looked heartbroken.

"Sixth sister, I am really worried about Shao Jincong. I beg you to save him, okay?"

Her voice was very loud, and when she talked about saving Shao Jincong, everyone frowned.

But before she finished her words, Shaodian Sishui calmly waited for her to continue, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Would Shaodian Haolan deliberately try to stir up trouble and pretend to give out food?

As soon as I finished thinking about it, I heard what she said.

"As for the food donated to us, Second Sister also has some. If Sixth Sister is willing, Second Sister's house will also distribute food. As long as Sixth Sister can save Shao Jincong, Second Sister is willing..."

She looked at the people who were there and raised her voice deliberately.

"Second sister is willing to provide ten days of food and fodder for free!"

What? Saving Shao Jincong will earn you 10 days of food and fodder?

Everyone turned around and looked at Shaodian Haolan.

Is this true? If this is true, then they would ask the Sixth Prince to save them.

As long as the people are rescued, can't we get four more days of food?

Only profit and no loss!

Shaodian Sishui's heart was filled with smiles, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, but she tried her best to suppress it, with a hint of anger on her face.

"Second sister, what I'm distributing is fine food. I'm afraid your family doesn't have ten days' worth of fine food prepared?"

She did not say whether Shao Jincong could survive, but directly talked about the refined grain.

If Shaodian Haolan was smart, she would know that this was a trap, waiting for her to jump into it.

However, at this time, Shaodian Haolan was overwhelmed by his own little thoughts and did not care about anything for the sake of reputation.

"Don't worry, Sixth Sister. As long as you can save Shao Jincong, Second Sister will naturally distribute fine food for ten days."

She spoke very earnestly and seriously, her voice rising high.

Does Shaodian Haolan have any surplus food?

Naturally, there was no extra fine food, and even if there was, she would not give it to us for free.

How could a bunch of mud-legged untouchables enjoy the fine food she sent?

Who is she? She is the daughter of the Great Zhou Emperor! The future emperor.

She knew that Shao Jincong was dead, otherwise she would not have said this, deliberately trying to sow discord between Liu Mei and Deng Ren.

If Shaodian Sishui wants to use Dengren to spread his fame, he also has to see whether Shaodian Haolan agrees.

Only she can do this kind of thing.

She is Shaodian Sishui, is she worthy?

Shaodian Sishui looked at her deeply.

He appears to be righteous and moral on the surface, and speaks all kinds of wise words, but in fact he has a dark heart.

But...she is such an idiot that she actually jumped into the pit on her own initiative.

She sighed and said loudly, "Second sister, do you know that Shao Jincong is dead? Even if the Golden Immortal came, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to save him."

"Since you have such deep feelings for Shao Jincong and have extra food, why not take it out and pray for Shao Jincong?"

"His spirit in heaven will surely bless my second sister with a long and healthy life."

"Second sister, are you okay?" Shaodian Sishui turned her around and whispered in her ear; "Second sister, do you still remember what I said to you outside Guifang City?"

Shaodian Haolan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but recall the past in his mind.

Shao Dian Si Shui did not let her think and told her directly, "I told you that when we return to the capital, you must not ask to come to me. Otherwise, I will return the humiliation I suffered that day double."

"Second sister, you really can't wait to deliver it to my door."

After she finished speaking, she left Shaoding Haolan's ear and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

Turning around and looking at the people who were eating melons, she said loudly, "Fellow villagers! Second sister agreed. She said that for Shao Jincong's sake, she can distribute fine grain to you, the same amount as I have. Each person can receive three taels of grain per day."

She deliberately emphasized the word "fine grain" because she would not give Shaodian Haolan the opportunity to pass off inferior food as good quality.

Although Shaodian Haolan would send fine grain for the sake of her own reputation, she knew how much fine grain there was in Bianjing and how much Shaodian Haolan had in his hands.

The fine food provided by Shaodian Haolan's men could only last for three days at most, and could not possibly last for ten days.

She was really looking forward to seeing how Shaodian Haolan would respond, whether to spend a large sum of money to purchase fine grains or to target the national treasury.

Wow, I’m so looking forward to it!

Shaodian Sishui looked back at Shaodian Haolan, wanting to roast her over the fire. Okay, then she would counterattack with the Black Tiger Heart-Ripping Technique, and no one would be afraid of her.

"you!"

Shaodian Haolan was shocked. When did she ever agree to this?

If she refuted and clarified that she had never said these words at this time, those people would definitely think that she had deliberately begged Shaodian Sishui to save Shao Jincong and did not mean it sincerely.

If she really agreed to Shaodian Sishui, she would not be able to swallow this.

She thought about it for a while, then said, "It's all Second Sister's fault. She didn't know that Jin Cong had passed away, and she made things difficult for Sixth Sister. If Jin Cong really had passed away, then I would have to distribute fine food for free according to the duration of the funeral."

"Since ancient times, the body of a deceased person must be kept for seven days. In order for Shao Jincong to rest in peace, this palace... this palace will provide seven days of fine food for free."

Seven days was her biggest concession.

As for whether it is three or two, by then the shortcomings will not be visible to those who are on the march.

Shaodian Sishui clasped his fists and bowed.

"Second sister Gao Yi!"

She turned and looked at Dengren.

"Starting today, the Second Princess's Mansion will also distribute free food for seven days."

"You can receive two portions of fine food, six ounces per person per day, so that you can safely get through this cold winter!"

Everyone was stunned. Happiness came so suddenly that they couldn't come to their senses at all.
