Within three days, the same rumor was spread in the streets and alleys of the capital: the good deeds in the north of the city were not done by the eighth prince at all. The eighth prince never paid a penny from the beginning to the end, but he commandeered a good reputation. He is an uncompromising person. What a hypocrite!

The rumor only said this much and did not mention Zhu Kongshan. When this word reached Xuan Tianmo's ears, Xuan Tianmo was so angry that he smashed a century-old inkstone in the study. Then he hurriedly went to Zhu Kongshan to ask what happened, but Zhu Kongshan also said to him anxiously: "I want to discuss this matter with my cousin! Now in the north of the city, all the officials who used to give porridge and rice have They withdrew. At first, I thought it was because they didn’t have enough money to support them, so they just left. Doing good deeds is always voluntary and cannot be forced to stay. Later, I found that more and more people were leaving, and I was surprised. , I have been walking around a lot in the past few days, trying to find out the real reason why the officials removed the porridge shed, but I didn’t expect that it was because of my cousin.”

"Because of me?" Xuan Tianmo was puzzled, "What does it have to do with me whether they leave or stay?"

"Oh!" Zhu Kongshan stamped his feet pretending to be anxious, "Why don't you understand, cousin? All this time, the officials themselves have paid for the porridge with me, but Prince Sheng's Mansion has never given them a penny. The compensation of money, but the good reputation is still occupied by us. It takes a day or two, but as time goes by, how can these people not be resentful? When I asked, more than one person told me that the Eighth Prince was too stingy and too harsh. They are overbearing and want to work with money and effort, but as long as there are benefits, they have never been involved. They have been giving rice and food together for so long, but they have not received any actual benefits. They are only half-officials and half-jobs. They haven’t been promoted yet, so I can’t hold on any longer.”

Xuan Tianmo had an angry look on his face, "You just want to be promoted for doing something like this? They are just dreaming!" Thinking about the rumors on the street, you don't need to ask, they naturally came from those officials. He had long thought that people in small official positions were unreliable. Although there was a daughter in the palace who was bullied by Concubine Yun and had nothing to do for decades, most of them were of noble Jieyu's level and could not achieve great things. And he couldn't win over those concubines and ministers who held first- and second-rank official positions. This was his biggest shortcoming. "Has everyone evacuated?" Xuan Tianmo asked Zhu Kongshan.

Zhu Kongshan nodded, "We are the only ones left."

"Yes." He thought for a while and then said: "In five days, I will go to the north of the city in person. I will also bring the winter clothes prepared by my mother and concubine. You can make arrangements then."

Joy passed through Zhu Kongshan's heart, and he nodded quickly and said: "Kongshan remembers it, don't worry, cousin, everything will be arranged in the north of the city." After saying that, he looked at Xuan Tianmo again, with a rosy look on his face, "Express Will you stay here tonight?"

Xuan Tianmo waved his hand, "If you have something to do tonight, go to bed early!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

It wasn't until he walked out of the yard that Zhu Kongshan breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaoyu helped her sit back in the chair and said worriedly: "Miss, what if His Highness the Eighth Prince discovers what we are doing? Will he..."

"Will they kill us?" She sneered, "Of course they will, and they will make me die miserably." As she spoke, she could clearly feel Xiaoyu trembling, and she quickly comforted her: "Don't worry , I have made arrangements for you. Before anything happens to me, I will definitely arrange for you to leave the capital." After saying that, he reached into his arms and took out fifty taels of silver notes. "Take this, before you leave. I will also give you another hundred taels, and also prepare some broken silver for you to use on the road. The money you have with you is enough to find a place far away from the capital and Pengzhou to live well. In addition, I will also give you the deed of sale. It will be returned to you together, and you will be free from now on, and you can go wherever you want."

When Xiaoyu heard this, she couldn't help but feel excited, and at the same time she was extremely grateful to Zhu Kongshan. She knelt down and said: "Miss, I am your maid. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life. I will never leave you until life or death!"

Are we inseparable in life and death? Zhu Kongshan sneered in his heart, there is no such thing as inseparability between life and death in this world. Although Xiaoyu is considered loyal, it is impossible for him to die with his master's family. Of course, she didn't intend to really let this girl live. What's the use of keeping a servant who can't share weal and woe with her master? It's just that now is not the time to fall out. She still has many things that need this girl's help to complete, and she has to prevent her from complaining to the Eighth Prince. It's only been five days. After five days, as long as the Eighth Prince arrives at the north of the city with Yuan Guiren's clothes, everything will be over.

Rumors in the capital were still spreading, and the eighth prince gradually became alienated from the officials who relied on him. On the north side of the city, the poor people all knew that the porridge and rice they ate were paid for by Miss Zhu alone and had nothing to do with the Eighth Prince. As for the families who participated in the soup kitchen before, they came here because of the Eighth Prince, and they left because of the Eighth Prince. Because the Eighth Prince promised them money before, but ended up with no money, so those people withdrew.

The girl from Prince Sheng's Mansion who was following Zhu Kongshan was very puzzled as to where this statement came from. Prince Sheng's Mansion clearly gave out a lot of money, so how could it be that she had no money due to these rumors? She asked Zhu Kongshan in confusion what was going on, but Zhu Kongshan just shook his head at her, saying that he didn't know, and told the maid: "My cousin is also investigating, I hope we can find out the truth!"

In front of the people, Zhu Kongshan kept explaining to people that the rice grains were bought by Prince Sheng's Mansion. However, people agreed on the surface, but secretly they said: "Miss Zhu's family is so pitiful. If you don't speak kindly to the Eighth Prince, you will be beaten when you return to Prince Sheng's Mansion. Alas, how come such a good girl has such a miserable life?"

The wind in Beijing can change at any time. In Feng Yuheng's eyes, this is completely normal. She even sneered at it and only said: "I thought they could survive this winter. But I didn’t expect that we would have to leave the table and disperse so soon.”

Huang Quan said: "I think it's better for you to leave early, otherwise I'd be sick to death listening to people's praises of the Eighth Prince all day long."

Feng Yu Heng laughed at her: "You just can't bear it. What's so disgusting about it? We can't lose a piece of meat. We don't eat enough at any meal. Just praise it. Remember, you are often praised. The taller the person is, the harder the fall will be. I really want to see how far Zhu Kongshan can make this happen, and how Lao Ba will handle it."

Wangchuan and Huang Quan had different considerations. She asked Feng Yuheng: "Miss, if something happens to the Eighth Prince again this time, will the Emperor punish him severely? So many things happened before, including the jade mine and the collaboration with the enemy in the southern border. The Eighth Prince covered it up, and the slaves looked on, but the Emperor turned a blind eye. What about this time? If the Emperor still has the same attitude, our efforts will be in vain."

Feng Yuheng also had this worry. In the competition with the Eighth Prince, she had always been passive. She would only try to unbutton the opponent's buttons and try to show off his tricks. And Emperor Tianwu's attitude was indeed as Wangchuan said, turning a blind eye. If the previous matter was investigated carefully, she didn't believe that it wouldn't be found out. For such a big crime, she didn't believe that Lao Ba could still be as arrogant as he is today.

But the emperor chose not to investigate strictly and gave the old man a chance to continue to develop. She had already seen that the old Emperor Tianwu was now preparing to sit back and watch the tigers fight, just to see which of the two tigers would reach the top in the end. This was a cruel game, and she had no intention of playing with it, but she had no choice but that Xuan Tianming was in the position of the prince and could not retreat even if he wanted to. In this world, Xuantian Meditation has to guard it, and she can only accompany him to guard it. One day the outcome will eventually come, and she should show off her original fighting spirit against the Feng family.

Feng Yuheng cheered herself up, and then said again: "Just wait and see, with Zhu Kongshan here, the old man may not be able to hold back for a few days. Cheng is also his cousin, defeated Also my cousin, this can be regarded as **** for tat, where you get up and fall again."

A few days later, the eighth prince Xuan Tianmo rode in a palace carriage and headed to the north of the city with a convoy of ten carriages. Zhu Kongshan had already told the people in the north of the city the news, telling everyone that the Eighth Prince would come here to visit everyone today, and also brought new cotton-padded clothes made for everyone by the ladies and maids organized by Yuan Guiren in the palace. And he repeatedly emphasized: "This time it is really Yuan Guiren who provided the money himself, just to make everyone wear new winter clothes. The noble Yuan stayed up for several nights in the palace without sleeping!"

She had already infiltrated these words to the beggars in the ruined temple, making them believe that under the pressure of the recent rumors in the capital, the Eighth Prince finally wanted to do something practical. She also told the beggars that this was also a good thing, as long as the people could get benefits.

After hearing her words, the beggars also told people that this time it was really the efforts of Yuan Gui and the Eighth Prince, so people believed it and waited expectantly for the Eighth Prince's arrival.

Xuan Tianmo came to the north of the city that day. Not only did he bring new winter clothes, he also brought several large carts of food. He also brought the cooks from Prince Sheng’s Mansion to cook for the people on the spot. They also distributed new bowls and chopsticks, and personally served meals to these poor people. It took a full day of work, which was very lively.

The common people had good meals and got new clothes. For a time, the slander against the Eighth Prince a few days ago was offset. Some even deeply blamed themselves, feeling that they had wrongly blamed the Eighth Prince. The prince.

It wasn't until the sky got dark that Xuan Tianmo took the people away. Before leaving, he said many heart-breaking words to the people, and even promised them: "As long as Prince Sheng's Mansion can afford to eat, , I won’t watch you starve.”

After Xuan Tianmo left, Zhu Kongshan stayed behind to deal with the aftermath, and warmly said to the people who had received new winter clothes: "It's almost Laba. It's very cold these days. Don't keep the new clothes if you get them." Wear clothes, everyone, don’t get cold at night.”

People nodded repeatedly, especially the beggars living in the ruined temple. It was so cold these days that even putting a charcoal basin in the temple would not solve the practical problem. So people put on their newly acquired winter clothes one after another, preparing to wrap them tightly at night. At least psychologically, the new clothes must be warmer than the old ones, at least the cotton is new and thicker.

When Zhu Kongshan saw that everyone was wearing them, he smiled and kept saying: "As long as everyone likes it, Yuan Gui's work is not in vain. The eighth prince looks down on the poor people in the north of the city. It’s not easy for people to come here in person today.”

After saying this, the people's hearts trembled again. Thinking about it again, no, the eighth prince didn't show the slightest smile all day long.

People spent this winter night with mixed emotions. They thought they would be warmer with new clothes, but they did not expect that the next day, bad news came from the north of the city - nearly one-third of the poor and beggars were living in the city. It froze to death overnight!
