The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

"My tea..." I haven't finished it yet.

……

In the villa, Song Nian just came out of the shower and saw a blue and white porcelain teacup next to the printer.

She never collects antiques, where did this thing come from?

hum~

The printer started up and a piece of paper fell out of the printer steaming hot.

Well, it’s freshly baked and still hot.

"Please give tea to the gods."

Song Nian chuckled. She didn't understand porcelain, and she couldn't tell whether the teacup was a good thing or not, but where was the tea in this empty tea bowl?

The liar prince.

"Thanks to the gods for their help, the head of Huai Village has received food and has agreed to exchange it with me for water. I have also found out that the head of Huai Village is concealing the source of water. I have not yet uncovered the truth behind this concealment, but since I am already involved, I will definitely find out as soon as possible."

pat.

Several silver ingots fell in front of the printer.

"This is the money I paid to the gods to buy food in broad daylight. Qi Yu knows it is not enough. I will find a way to raise more money."

Song Nian stared at the gray silver in her hand that looked like stone. This was her first time to directly experience ancient silver and money.

Put it in your mouth and take a bite.

Uh... so hard.

My tooth almost broke.

I don't know how much these are worth.

Song Nian wanted to check it online, but then she remembered what Qi Yu said, and she stared at the paper and fell into deep thought.

When Qi Yu asked her for help in the afternoon, he told her about his plan. He suspected that the village chief of the exile area was hiding something and was worried that it was a heinous scam.

He asked her to prepare 100 kilograms of rice and flour, which he bought with money, and then specifically asked her to divide it into ten portions and send them to him, as he wanted to use the food to exchange for water.

She could have delivered the water, and he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble, but he said that the head of Huai Village was deliberately using such means to hide some unspeakable secret, and he wanted to investigate it thoroughly.

That netizen once said that the prince of the Jin Dynasty in unofficial history loved the people like his own children and was kind and charitable.

He is a good person and wants to get to the bottom of things when he encounters a problem, which Song Nian admires very much.

But if even he can't solve it, it seems like it must be a big conspiracy.

"It's the middle of the night. I don't want to drink tea. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."

"Where are you now? How do you know all this? Don't tell me you went to the village chief's house at night. Be careful and don't be discovered."

Qi Yu listened carefully to the words of the god coming from his mind. He thought that the god must be a very gentle person. He had never met anyone who cared so much about him before. He must be a great kind person.

"Thank you for your concern, Qi Yu will be careful. I'm leaving now."

As he left Yu Wenzhen's house, Qi Yu went over the account book he had just looked through in his mind.

Here, Song Nian's printer spit out countless numbers and years.

"What the hell is this?"

Song Nian looked confused.

She then selected a few strings of text and searched online.

Although there was no country called Dajin in history, the text sent by Qi Yu could be deciphered.

"Why do you have to tell me the birth dates, genders, and heights of so many children?" Song Nian typed a few words on the document in reply.

Qi Yu, who was climbing walls and flying over eaves, was startled.

Is the information recorded by Yu Wenzhen the children's?

Qi Yu couldn't figure out what Yu Wenzhen was doing by recording the child's information.

He was still some distance away from Yu's house to his place of exile, so he simply stopped and thought while walking. On the way, he saw an elderly couple hugging each other and crying from a distance.

"Old man, what difficulties have you encountered?"

Although the two old men were not in rags, their clothes were very ordinary. They were both very thin and looked very miserable.

Qi Yu thought that they must be hungry or thirsty, and he could take them to the exile place to get water.

"No, nothing happened."

As if Qi Yu was a plague, the two old men suddenly stood up and ran when they saw a stranger. They ran to the corner, went into a house, and locked the door.

Qi Yu stood there, doubting himself unconsciously.

"I look bad?"

He pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek and laughed for no reason.

Once upon a time in the imperial capital, whoever saw him would not say, "A handsome and handsome young man." He was the crown prince, and many people were vying to see him.

What does it mean that these two old men ran away when they saw each other?

Besides, if he heard correctly, what tribute were they talking about just now?

It had always been foreign lands that attacked the imperial court and offered tribute. He did not remember that there was a place called Huai Village among the tribute-paying areas.

Qi Yu felt more and more that something was wrong. He lightly tapped his toes and used the outer wall to jump onto the beam of the house where the two old men had just stood.

Soon, a sound was heard coming from inside.

"Son, I don't want to sacrifice you as a tribute, but we really have no rice or food at home, so I have no choice."

"Forgive me, Dad and Mom. I'll sacrifice my life for the lives of others. Everyone will be grateful to me."

"..."

The people in this village actually used children as tribute in exchange for food?

As a prince, how can I abandon the people of the world?

So what if I am exiled?

These are the people of the Emperor.

These were the suffering people he had seen in the memorials he had reviewed.

He couldn't just ignore it.

Without caring about the frightened two people, Qi Yu broke into the room through the window. Without a sword, he held the candle to the old man's neck and asked sharply, "Tell me clearly, what exactly did you two just say? Speak!"

The old man was frightened. He didn't expect that someone would jump out from the roof. It was the stranger who had just come up behind him and asked questions.

He came to ask about something that the whole Huai Village knew. The only thing to say is that he is not from Huai Village.

Tears still streamed down the old man's face. He kept shaking his head, "Who are you? When did you come to Huai Village? What are you doing here? If you don't know, don't ask. Young man, leave Huai Village. It's better for you not to know about this kind of thing."

The more the old man said this, the more Qi Yu felt that there was something else going on.

Although he was exiled, as a man, he should stand up for himself and not stand by and watch someone die.

He also vaguely felt that this matter might be related to the village chief of Huai Village who claimed to have communication with gods.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

In the villa.

Song Nian didn't receive a reply from Qi Yu. Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, she packed up and prepared to go to bed when there was a hurried knock on the door.

"It's so late, who is it?"

"police!"

Song Nian asked himself why the police came to his door in the middle of the night since he had not done anything against the law.

She quickly went over it in her mind, but the doorbell kept ringing more and more urgently, so she had no choice but to open the door.

Two policemen in uniform flashed their IDs one after another, "Are you Song Nian?"

"Yes, what do you two police officers want from me?"

"Someone called the police. You've dismembered your body by flooding it at home. We're doing a routine inspection. Please cooperate."

"What? Chopping the body into pieces?"

Song Nian was stunned.

She felt fortunate that she was brave enough.

Otherwise, I would faint just by hearing those two words in the middle of the night.

"Uncle police, you made a mistake."

She suspected that these two people were hired by Li Lin to scare her.

"Whether you are mistaken or not, you will know after checking."

The policeman turned sideways and walked into the house first.

After checking around and confirming that she was the only one in the room and that there was nothing unusual, one of them took out a form and handed it to her, "Is this water meter yours? Hundreds of tons of water flowed out of this meter overnight. Ms. Song Nian, please explain clearly, did you use all this water?"

Song Nian secretly cried out in his heart that something was wrong.
