Zhuang Rou had been angry at his troubled disaster relief. Seeing that he still looked like he was the most reasonable, he asked fiercely: "How much money did you spend on the money I brought back?"

She wanted Chu Xia to calculate by herself, how many days he could spend in the past few days.

Chu Xia looked at her well, only to think that this guy is so fun that people can't help but want to bully her.

He raised his voice and said with a righteous voice: "How to relieve disasters is my business. Do you think that if you have a brother who is favored by the emperor, you can point fingers at me?"

"I am the biggest in Hongzhou, so I will do the same in disaster relief. I will do this. Even if you are a fourth-rank official, I am not afraid of you."

This woman's brother is the emperor's favorite minister?

The refugees suddenly realized that this was the case, no wonder they were so arrogant. Even the rules set by the magistrate dared to destroy them. This is a dog's power!

Zhuang Rou was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong. She frowned and lowered her voice, "Come down, I have something to ask you."

So alert, I found something wrong so quickly?

Chu Xia looked reluctant on his face, and he was procrastinated for a long time. After being urged by Zhuang Rou twice, he reluctantly got off the horse. Before he could stand still, Zhuang Rou dragged him to a place where no one was left.

The guards surrounded and guarded the refugees, waiting far away to see the outcome of the matter, success or failure was here.

Zhuang Rou stared at him for several times before asking, "Sir, I think you have something to hide from me. What did you do secretly carry me on your back?"

"I can tell you that everything else is easy, but the resettlement of refugees must not be wrong. This affects the lives of countless people. Although when I was a refugee, I felt that the government was stingy and deducted the disaster food, now I know that there is really not so much money in the warehouse."

"If you don't have some food, you won't wait until the spring of the next year. The victims will have to cut off food on the way. At that time, so many people were outside the city and countless people would starve to death."

Seeing her extremely serious look, Chu Xia pouted and said a little aggrievedly: "I should have returned to Beijing for the New Year at that time."

"What!" Zhuang Rou suddenly shouted, and Chu Xia was shocked by her and her soul was about to fly away.

"I just want to bring some credit to Beijing for the New Year and make my mother happy. What's wrong with that?"

He pointed at Zhuang Rou and asked angrily: "I just arrived in Hongzhou and didn't hurry back to the yamen, but came here directly. Am I not as good as them? I just don't bring the gifts, but I dare to come and question me directly, do you still have the adult like me in your eyes?"

Zhuang Rou looked at him speechlessly. This guy has been wearing women's clothing since Mid-Autumn Festival, and his words are sour.

"Who said I didn't bring you a gift? Didn't I give you 300,000 taels to ruin it?" She looked at his clothes and found that what she wore today was a bit low-key than usual.

"Sir, you're not afraid that I'll sell your jewelry, so I hide it all, deliberately dressing so simple?"

Chu Xia suddenly laughed, "Isn't this what I've found when King An comes here to recuperate, so he found this body. His whole family finally fell into my hands. If he didn't scrape off a few kilograms of oil, the yamen Fenglu wouldn't be able to deliver it."

"I haven't touched your disaster relief money. I've spent a lot of money in the past few days. I really have to be a seller in the future." He said pitifully.

Zhuang Rou didn't feel sympathy at all and said disgustedly: "Who asked you to spend money indiscriminately and give food to the victims so well, a prodigal son! You still don't save some money even though you don't have much spare money."

Chu Xia looked at her and said slowly: "Haven't you been a refugee for several years? I just wanted to be kind to them and thought you would be happy."

"Ha?" Zhuang Rou looked at him questioningly, what did she say?

"In order to make you happy, I asked the yamen runners to cook better for disaster relief and let everyone have enough food for the winter. I didn't expect you to be angry. If I had known I wouldn't have done this. You wouldn't know if I wasn't for you, I would have been so generous." Chu Xia said lightly, looking a little disappointed.

Zhuang Rou was a little confused by his words. When did he become so kind and spend so much money to make himself happy?

It's fake...

At this time, Chu Xia sighed and said, "You don't have to argue with me. You can do whatever you say to send disaster relief food. As long as you are happy."

"However, you can't argue with me about the 100,000 taels of silver I spent. Just make a fake account and calculate it in the disaster relief."

Zhuang Rou was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses, "What?"

Chu Xia said word by word: "I said, I spent 100,000 taels of money to buy the money you brought back."

"What did you buy?" Zhuang Rou opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. At this time of saving lives, could he buy something worth 100,000 taels of silver in Hongzhou?

Chu Xia pointed to the east and said calmly: "The silver was shipped back to the capital and bought two sets of twelve sets of jade screens. The merchant brought the portrait to Hongzhou to find me. It looked very good, so I bought it."

There is actually such a way to do business. Zhuang Rou has never treated this way before, and she didn't want to. She clenched her fist and exploded, "Okay! If you don't teach you a prodigal son a lesson today, I won't be Zhuang's surname!"

"You spit out the silver for me, no less than one or two!" She howled and rushed towards Chu Xia.

"Xiao Ran!" Chu Xia shouted hurriedly, turned around and ran away.

Xiao Ran rushed over and blocked Zhuang Rou, but he didn't really take action, just not allowing her to go over.

"Go away, I must deal with him well today!" Zhuang Rou flashed to the side, trying to rush past him, but was blocked by Xiao Ran, and scolded in anger.

Xiao Ran didn't say anything, but she still refused to chase after her. As for why the two of them quarreled like this, he felt that it was because the adults were deliberately showing weakness, probably to show it to the refugees.

Chu Xia was already running to the side of the horse quickly, turned over and rode on his horse and ran away.

Then Xiao Ran also dodged away and rode the remaining horses with several other guards, leaving no one for Zhuang Rou, and went to chase Chu Xia.

"Stop it and let me catch you and see I won't pull your skin!" Zhuang Rou chased and scolded. She was about to find the horse she rode, but saw a guard riding one, but she also led her horse out.

The reaction was so fast that he came to steal the horse without saying a word!

Zhuang Rou ran over to steal the horse, but the human leg was as fast as the horse's legs. The guard hurriedly thrust the horse and ran away with the horse.

"Chu Xia!" She yelled, and ran out in the direction where Chu Xia ran away. She must grab him and beat him up.

The onlookers looked at the scene in amazement. This woman was so powerful that even the magistrate was beaten away!

Most of these people who fled were ordinary families, and the biggest official they had ever seen was Chu Xia, the governor. In their eyes, he was like a god. He wanted to destroy anyone and his family and his hands were raised.

Now, he was like a rabbit, chased by a fierce woman and fled in panic. Everyone was very eye-opening, thinking that the emperor's favorite minister should be below one person and above ten thousand people!
