With a faint smile, Shen Xihe didn't say much. Xiao Huayong was a man who wouldn't take action easily, but once he did, there would naturally be a lot of fun.
Her vision was blocked by the heavy rain, and everything she saw seemed to be covered by a layer of mist, a little blurry: "I don't know when this rain will stop. This method can't ensure that the people of Dengzhou have enough food. Once these rich families are short of money, they will think of this robbery and lose their humanity for food and clothing and survival. That's when the real disaster is imminent."
Shen Xihe did not agree with Xiao Changyan's approach, but she was not there that day, so she didn't know whether the situation had reached the point where she had to resort to such a desperate measure, and it was difficult for her to judge whether Xiao Changyan was right or wrong.
This method is indeed the fastest way to obtain food and provide relief to the victims. Otherwise, if we negotiate with the local wealthy families, who knows how long the negotiations will take, and who knows how these people who only think about money will ask for exorbitant prices.
"If we can think of it, he can naturally think of it too. Since he has used this method, he will have to bear the price himself." Xiao Huayong spoke slowly.
"Beichen, this is indeed the best time to suppress King Jing, but we cannot let Dengzhou fall into such a mess. The brutal way is not a long-term solution. In addition to arousing the resentment in these people's hearts and releasing the evil thoughts hidden deep in their hearts, it can only sacrifice the elderly, children, women and children who cannot protect themselves."
Shen Xihe turned his head to look at Xiao Huayong: "We will wait for Prince Xin here. When Prince Xin arrives, we will follow Prince Xin into Wendeng County. By then, you will be the crown prince, and Xiao Changyan will use his respect for you as an excuse to push everything onto you. If a riot really breaks out and causes casualties, it will be you who is to blame."
"Xiao Ba has been doing well in Annan City for a long time, and he only dreams of good things." Xiao Huayong snorted and laughed, "I am the frail crown prince, and my duty here is just to be a mascot. He wants me to clean up the mess for him, is he worthy of it?"
Shen Xihe also knew that if he wanted to shirk responsibility, he had a thousand ways to do it: "Are you really going to ignore it?"
"Of course..." The word "regardless" lingered on his tongue, and Xiao Huayong's dark and bright pupils turned, "Youyou is kind-hearted, and doesn't want the people to suffer the slightest. It's not difficult for me to take care of you..."
As he spoke, those affectionate eyes looked Shen Xihe from head to toe, the implication was extremely obvious.
Shen Xihe is no longer the ignorant girl. She has been married to Xiao Huayong for more than half a year. She can tell from his eyes that he is keen on tormenting her. She will not indulge this man.
Normally, she could hardly resist his requests for sex. If she really let him do what he wanted, she would be torn into pieces and eaten by him.
After letting out a long breath, Shen Xihe glanced at Xiao Huayong, whose eyes were full of expectation and frighteningly bright, and left without saying a word.
If he doesn't care, she will take care of it!
Looking at Shen Xihe's back as he walked away with light and steady steps, Xiao Huayong showed a lost expression, touched his nose uncomfortably, and followed in silence.
Shen Xihe was not good at dealing with people, so she did not plan to talk to anyone to find out the situation. In addition, she was just an ordinary merchant looking for relatives, so she should not care about the people's sentiments.
She held an umbrella, put on oil boots, and stepped on the bluestone slabs where water was flowing. She walked and looked along the way without stopping for long. She didn't need to ask what the people lacked or needed, she could see it with her own eyes.
