Chapter 181 - Suffering Is Unspeakable

After Wei Qing heard this, her face turned cold. "Sir County Magistrate, do you want to have a taste of this moldy thin porridge?"

The County Magistrate naturally wouldn't drink it, yet, facing Xiao Qingqian's unfathomable pair of deep eyes, he had to drink it even if he didn't drink it!

That musty smell caused his stomach to churn, causing him to hesitate as he carried a bowl of thin porridge.

The county magistrate took a deep breath, pretended to take a sip, and was about to put it down, when he heard Wei Qing say: "If the county magistrate does not drink, I'm afraid it's just …."

She dragged her voice, but her words did not make it through, giving people ample room to think.

The coldness around Xiao Qingqian became increasingly stronger, and the county magistrate could only hold in his breath as he gulped down a bowl of thin porridge.

He was about to vomit, but held it in.

Wei Qing looked at him, "What do you think, Sir County Magistrate?"

The magistrate swallowed hard, "It's bad!"

"Just bad?" Wei Qing raised her eyebrows.

"This official will definitely investigate everything thoroughly and have someone immediately exchange it for a batch of mildewed food!"

Wei Qing was very satisfied, her gaze turned to Xiao Qingqian's face and asked: "Then Your Highness, what other thoughts do you have?"

"Your Highness?!"

Everyone was shocked, they wanted to kneel down, but were stopped by Xiao Qingqian.

Xiao Qingqian said with a cold glint in his eyes, "Give this king a satisfactory answer as soon as possible!"

Very quickly, the entire town was filled with the thick fragrance of rice, and everyone praised Prince Chu for his skill.

In the town hall, Xiao Qingqian looked at Wei Qing, "This kind of corrupt official should be punished severely, or else, we will offend him again next time. After all, dogs don't change and eat sh * t!"

"You can never kill a corrupt official, why don't you make him feel bad!" Wei Qing looked at him with a smile, picked up his chopsticks and started cooking.

After eating her fill, she suddenly thought of Gouyu, and quickly called for the County Magistrate. However, she found out that Xiao Qingqian had already ordered some people to deliver food to the village.

Wei Qing looked at Xiao Qingqian in disbelief, causing Xiao Qingqian to cough lightly, "This king isn't like some people who forget about everything when they see food!"

"You did well in this matter!" She said with a smile.

It was clearly a compliment, but for some reason, when Xiao Qingqian heard it, he felt that it was strange.

"What are you going to do next?" Xiao Qingqian asked with a darkened face.

Even though the county magistrate was greedy, Wei Qing still wanted to brazenly spread the news of how he had taken the initiative to provide assistance. This truly made Xiao Qingqian uncomfortable.

"Like I said, it makes his heart ache. He's in so much pain that he can't speak!" This time, he's going to spit out all the cream that he's plundered over the years! "

Seeing the craftiness in Wei Qing's eyes, Xiao Qingqian shook his head helplessly, "If anyone offends you, it will truly be a nightmare!"

Wei Qing curled her lips, "Have you had a nightmare?"

Xiao Qingqian glared at her. "This king's back is getting really itchy. You couldn't have done something to my wounds, right?"

Wei Qing said angrily: "Don't think that I am a petty person. That is because of your wound healing!"

Xiao Qingqian's physique was different from ordinary people. It seemed that no matter what kind of injury he suffered, he would recover faster than an average person. Wei Qing really wanted to study his body.

However, it was just a thought. After all, he had always felt good about himself!

"Just a joke!"

Wei Qing curled her lips and did not say a word.

Very quickly, the positive news of the county magistrate's treatment of the disaster spread throughout the surrounding towns. The county magistrate of the other towns were afraid that Xiao Qingqian would suddenly come, and did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Chen Cheng and the rest rushed over after finding out where Xiao Qingqian was.

Xiao Qingqian asked about the situation on the road, maybe it was because their previous scheme had deceived Xiao Hanqi's people, but they were safe and sound on the road, just that a few horses died of exhaustion, so they might as well split their horses to the severely injured villagers.

"This King will now write a note requesting for Father to reward these local officials."

Chen Cheng was very confused. "My prince, in the past, when we met with disasters, we would have to kill a few corrupt officials to set an example. How come all of you are acting as models for disaster treatment this year?"

Xiao Qingqian looked at Wei Qing with a smile that was not a smile, "The wangfei said that she wanted to make these corrupt officials spit out everything they had swallowed!"

"This method can work?" Chen Cheng was extremely shocked.

"Of course!" Wei Qing smiled as he glanced at him, "Could it be that you didn't realize that this year's situation is better than previous years'?"

Killing corrupt officials could only cause fear to the masses, so it was better to let them feel heartache!

Xiao Qingqian looked at Wei Qing's bright and beautiful smile which was full of confidence. He felt that being able to marry Wei Qing was his good fortune.

Chen Cheng unintentionally caught Xiao Qingqian's gaze, which was filled with deep love from him, and could not help but smile ambiguously, "Subordinate will take his leave first."

Xiao Qingqian replied with a "En" and quickly wrote a note to be sent to the capital.

Seeing that the disaster area was at peace and the citizens had hot porridge to drink, the Old Emperor was relieved.

Above the imperial court, Old Emperor had naturally praised Xiao Qingqian for his ability to treat disasters, and had even praised Wei Qing.

Everyone said that Fang Yunyun was the daughter of Prime Minister Wei, but there wasn't a single trace of complacency on Prime Minister Wei's face.

"This is what Qing'er should do. Your Majesty praises her too highly!"

After the morning assembly, the Old Emperor left Prime Minister Wei alone.

"Is the emperor keeping this subject here to deal with disasters?"

"I heard that a flood also happened in the Southern Kingdom. Although Seventh Prince Chu Yin had already gone to the disaster area early in the morning to investigate, Crown Prince Chu Yu seemed to have not delivered the medicinal herbs to them for a long time. "Therefore, I mean …"

"Your Majesty means for Prince Chu and the others to send the medicinal ingredients to the Southern Kingdom?"

"The Southern Kingdom is not far from the Northern Kingdom. Once the plague spreads, I'm afraid we will affect the people of the Northern Kingdom! Moreover, all these years, Seventh Prince has been a vassal in the Northern Kingdom, and I feel that I have let him down! "

Old Emperor was very clear about the humiliation he had suffered, it was just that the power of the Northern Kingdom had always been stronger than the Southern Kingdom, so he chose to turn a blind eye.

But, this time, Chu Yin was so magnanimous to be able to teleport to the disaster area on his way back, I am afraid that the future king of the Southern Kingdom is none other than Chu Yin!

The Prime Minister Wei could guess what the Old Emperor was worried about, it was just that, the relationship between Wei Qing and Wei Qing, could it be that the Prince Chu was feeling bad?

"Your majesty has made up his mind!" Prime Minister Wei could only say this after he thought it through.

Old Emperor raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Alright, I will pass down the decree right now!"

When Xiao Qingqian received the Old Emperor's imperial edict and was informed that the Old Emperor wanted him to immediately head to the Southern Kingdom's border to deliver the medicinal ingredients there, he was very puzzled.

Wei Qing looked at his face that was as black as ink and said bluntly, "All the people in the world are one family, if there was a plague in the Southern Kingdom, even the Northern Kingdom would suffer!"
