Xue Wenyu smiled and said, "Nothing, I guess I was a little upset."

"Excitement?" Mu Yingbao was even more confused. Where did this excitement come from? There must be a reason!

"He came to inquire about who sent the food, cloth and clothes from outside. It turned out that it was not the court, but your brother, my elder brother-in-law, so..." Xue Wenyu said here, shook his head and smiled again.

Mu Yingbao also laughed when he heard this; "This prefect Qian is quite interesting and pleasing to the eye."

Xue Wenyu looked at her meaningfully. "Can I understand your words as if this prefect Qian is a corrupt official who doesn't care about the lives of the people and you don't like him, would you get rid of him?"

Mu Yingbao slapped him with his hand and said, "Go away, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't believe it. It's as if you can tolerate him if he is really such a dog official who exploits the people."

After saying that, the couple looked at each other, understood each other's thoughts from each other's expressions, and laughed at the same time.

If Prefect Qian was really such a lousy official, there would be no need to bother telling Brother Hui, just get rid of him directly. Now, anyone who can do this job except Nanzhu can do it.

Nanzhu, who was standing by, listened and looked at the two masters in silence, and at the same time felt fortunate for the prefect Qian.

Fortunately, he was a good official who was dedicated to serving the people, otherwise, it was possible that he would be chopped up and fed to dogs by the orders of these two masters.

"Mee, to be honest, after we have dealt with the matter here this time, let's ask Brother Hui for permission to inspect the people's sentiments on behalf of the emperor. Then let Brother Hui give us an imperial sword, and we can directly cut down the corrupt officials." Mu Yingbao said as he made several chopping motions with his palm.

"Madam, what is the Imperial Sword? Can it execute corrupt officials without waiting for them to be convicted?" Nanzhu at the side asked without hesitation.

"This Shangfang Sword refers to the sword used by the emperor, representing the supreme imperial power. The minister who holds the Shangfang Sword has the power to execute first and report later." Mu Yingbao told seriously.

Nanzhu listened and nodded mechanically. So that's what happened. It's really awesome. But does the current emperor have this sword? I haven't heard of him having it!

But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have the sword. Madam will mention it to the emperor later. I believe the emperor will have the sword.

Xue Wenyu, on the other hand, looked at her with a half-smile.

Mu Yingbao looked at him with a half-smile, knowing what he was thinking at the moment. Let him think whatever he wanted, since it wasn't about this matter anyway.

What she didn't say was that the origin of the Shangfang Sword refers to the fact that in ancient times people attached great importance to etiquette and law, and the Shangfang sword could only be used by the royal family. Therefore, this sword was endowed with imperial power and privileges from the beginning. It reflects a concept of rule by man, and seeing the sword is like seeing the emperor.

Therefore, when watching a play in modern times, whenever the imperial sword is shown in the play, officials and common people will kneel down and worship. This is not a fictional plot to make the play more interesting, but a real thing.

"By the way, ma'am, when we came here, the leader told us to stay with you and the Duke and wait for orders." A man stood up beside the table. It was Huang Zhixing, who was in charge of delivering the food this time.

Mu Yingbao wanted to say, no need, if the troop deployment is not smooth, then there is indeed a shortage of manpower.

Now, there are really enough people.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't say that.

The eldest brother kindly arranged for someone to come and help, and even if they were not needed, they had to stay, otherwise the brother would definitely feel even more uncomfortable.

"Okay, then you all stay." Mu Yingbao responded with a smile.

"Madam, I think they heard that we are going to have dumplings tonight, so they want to stay here." Xue Wenyu's men nearby joked.

"Yeah, what's the problem? Is it not possible?" Huang Zhixing and the others were not annoyed. They were very familiar with each other. They always joked when they met before and never treated each other as outsiders.

The hearty laughter in the big tent reached the ears of the yamen runners not far away outside. They looked over here with admiration and envy.

No one thought that this kind of laughter was inappropriate given Yudong's current situation. It was neither appropriate nor offensive.

They knew the situation here clearly, yet still dared to come here and deliver food and other scarce supplies.

After delivering the gifts to their families, they did not leave in a hurry for fear of contracting the disease, but stayed to have a meal.

Their hearty laughter was like a gust of cool breeze that blew away the gloom that covered Yudong.

Everything is changing for the better, isn't it?

Mu Yingbao was also thinking about the problem of laughter.

If this happened in a disaster area in modern times, they would undoubtedly be severely criticized by keyboard warriors.

In fact, they were just joking, not disrespecting the victims of Yudong.

They did not make fun of the victims, nor did they use the tragic stories of the victims as a topic of conversation. In this big tent, all of them were brothers of the opposite sex who had fought against the enemy together. If they did not revere life, they would not have rushed here without regard for the risks. Their leader did say that they should arrive as soon as possible, but he did not give a death order that they must arrive within the specified time, otherwise they would be punished or something.

They were right to obey the leader's orders, but they were also anxious and worried because they knew the situation here, so they rushed here non-stop. Several drivers' hands were sunburned and peeled, and some even had blisters on the corners of their mouths!

Now look at them wolfing down their lunch. It is definitely not because this lunch is accompanied by delicious wine, but because they are really hungry.

Mu Yingbao asked one of them and learned that he had not had a proper meal in the past few days.

Whenever I pass by a restaurant, I buy some dried food that I can carry with me on the road and that won’t spoil quickly.

grain.

There was no fixed mealtime during the journey. If anyone felt hungry, they would take out some dry food to deal with it, or they would fill their own stomachs while feeding the horses.

When Mu Yingbao saw them, he felt warm and sad at the same time.

"Ma'am, the gang leader said that if there's anything else you need, you can ask us to buy it for you." Huang Zhixing remembered and told her, and patted his waist, which was bulging.

"Why, did my brother ask you to bring some silver?" Mu Yingbao asked casually.

"Yes, ma'am, do you think I am now a millionaire?" Huang Zhixing pinched the bulge on his waist and asked with a smile.

"What's the use? It's not for you. It's for buying important things for the people of Yudong." Someone was angry at him.

Huang Zhixing glared at the man. "Go away, what do you know? You are jealous of me. I don't care if I have a share of the money or not. Anyway, I have it and you don't."

"After you finish your meal, go wash up and take a rest first." Mu Yingbao's mood improved when he looked at them.

It really makes people feel happy to have someone who supports what they do without hesitation no matter where they are.

Xue Wenyu also ordered his men to set up tents for his brother-in-law's men. After giving the order, he turned around and saw his wife looking happy and proud.

The wife's backers are getting more and more powerful, and Xue Wenyu suddenly feels invisible pressure. He has to be better to her in the future, otherwise...

"Someone was mad at him.

Huang Zhixing glared at the man. "Go away, what do you know? You are jealous of me. I don't care if I have a share of the money or not. Anyway, I have it and you don't."
