My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 116 Vicious
"You still have the nerve to plead with His Highness? Wang Yinghui, for the stupid things you've done, I wouldn't mind sending your entire clan to their deaths ten thousand times over."

"Your son is innocent? Aren't those villagers' children innocent too?"

Commander Hu sneered, "Half of the grain that the mountain ghosts stole was given to you and the other half was kept for themselves. You've managed to fatten up your entire Wang family, making them all plump and bloated! But what about the children in the village? You really should go and see for yourself the miserable state of the village."

"Not to mention the widespread starvation, dozens of people in the entire village must have starved to death or been injured or killed. The survivors all fled the village, hoping to seek refuge near Wan'an Prefecture. And what happened? The archers were pointing their longbows at them!"

The sarcasm was palpable, leaving Wang Yinghui speechless.

But he still wanted to preserve a bloodline for his family, so he pleaded desperately.

The Crown Prince didn't even glance at him. With a flick of his finger, Wang Yinghui watched as a guard carried his son away.

"No! Where are you taking him? Your Highness, please spare my son! All the blame lies with me, Wang Yinghui. I am willing to commit suicide to atone for my sins."

His Highness the Crown Prince cast a cold, indifferent gaze at him, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, his words revealing a hint of detachment.

He said, "You think your life is worth anything?"

He even offered his own life as an apology to the world? You speak so noblely, do you even deserve it?
Wang Yinghui felt a chill run through her body; at this moment, she was overwhelmed by regret.

He asked tentatively, still unwilling to give up, "You, how do you want to..."

"Humph."

The torchlight, glowing red, illuminated the prince's handsome face, which was as smooth as ink and as cold as jade, making him appear exceptionally aloof and unapproachable.

Her slender fingers held the shimmering jade cup, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her voice was like an icicle falling to the ground, exuding endless chill.

"I intend to raise your son until he is ten years old. If he is useful, I will make the most of him; if he is not... well..."

The shout made Wang Yinghui's heart clench slightly, and his body felt as if it were immersed in ice water, his teeth chattering from the cold.

"But all of this has nothing to do with you, Lord Wang." The Crown Prince suddenly smiled at him.

This smile is like a spring breeze caressing a thousand trees in full bloom.

But Wang Yinghui knew very well that his life was coming to an end!
Lord Wang seemed to be seeing this Crown Prince, who held a high position in the imperial court, for the first time.

He doesn't seem to be the reclusive person that outsiders say he is; he's not one to compete or fight for anything.

He tasted the prince's ruthlessness today, but he would never have the chance to tell anyone else...

~~~Wave-shaped dividing line~~~
Xin Nian woke up to find the world had changed!

The staff of the entire government office, who were slacking off yesterday, are now busy and very hardworking today.

The prefect or assistant prefect, early in the morning, led a large group of doctors to stand in the front yard of the government office, shouting slogans and waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to inspect them.

In addition, the warehouse inventory check seems to be going very smoothly.

With a look of interest on her face, Xin Nian wandered around the government office, looking here and there, before returning to the front office.

His Highness the Crown Prince strolled in through the moon gate, followed by Commander Hu, Zhu Yanliuhuo, and their entourage.

Xin Nian skipped forward and gave a proper bow, "This humble woman greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Jinzhi: ...

Commander Hu coughed softly, "Sixth Miss, this is a man's greeting!"

"Haha, really?" Xin Nian wasn't embarrassed at all.

Xiao Jinzhi wasn't embarrassed at all; the little girl was so cute that he wasn't embarrassed by anything she did.

He stepped forward and naturally pulled her sleeve. "Come on, have breakfast with me first." The two moved to the small hall.

Several oil lamps were lit in the hall, and eight side dishes were laid out on the table, along with mushroom and vegetable porridge.

Xin Nian had a great appetite and drank two bowls in a row before asking the Crown Prince, "Did you beat them up yesterday?"

"No," the crown prince said seriously, his smile gentle. "I never hit people."

“That’s true.” Xin Nian nodded in understanding. “I’m usually the one who hits people.”

"Cough, cough." Zhu Yanliuhuo, who was having breakfast at the next table, almost choked to death on a mouthful of porridge.

Seeing the Crown Prince glance at them, the two hurriedly picked up their bowls of porridge with bitter faces and ran out the door in a flash.

"Then why were they so cooperative this morning?" Xin Nian asked the Crown Prince with a puzzled look. "I think that Tongzhi or Tongpan has already summoned all the doctors."

"Hmm, isn't that to be expected? With such poor efficiency, it's been a whole night and they still can't gather them. What use are they to the government office?" His Highness the Crown Prince elegantly picked up his chopsticks and placed some pickles on Niannian's plate.

"Hmm, this is good." Xin Nian's eyes lit up. "It's salty, with a hint of sweetness that isn't overpowering."

"It's delicious. I'll go get a few jars later." The Crown Prince looked at her with a smile. "We're not good at medical matters, so we'll have to ask Miss Niannian for help."

"No problem, no problem." Xin Nian waved her hand. "Although the disease is a bit scary and may be contagious, I love researching and tackling difficult and complicated diseases."

"Since we're resting for the next two days, after we eat, I'll select some doctors and take them to the villa to take a look."

"Okay, then you need to put on several layers of protection so as not to worry me."

As the two were talking, they heard Liu Huo's voice from outside the small hall, "Inside, inside, the Sixth Miss is inside. Fourth Master and Fourth Madam, please come in, please come in."

A dozen or twenty people rushed into the small dining room, and the entire Xin family followed Xin Wenyuan and his wife as they jogged in...

Xin Nian had almost finished eating, and stood up with her rice bowl to offer her a seat.

The Crown Prince also stood up and smiled, "The place is simple, and there don't seem to be enough tables and chairs, but there should be enough porridge."

He then instructed Zhu Yanliuhuo to fetch more bowls and chopsticks. The Xin family members were flattered and, led by the old lady, thanked him repeatedly.

"Mianmian, hurry up and eat. Come with me to the city gates later." Xin Nian reminded her, said a few more words to her parents, and then left with the Crown Prince.

"Mianmian, sit down and eat first. The others can wait." Xie Ninglan pulled Chang Mianmian to sit down, and then called to He Yun, who was sitting a little awkwardly, "Sister Yun, you sit down too."

"Don't worry, Niannian will always be with Mianmian. She'll be back soon after taking care of some errands."

He Yun picked up a bowl of hot porridge and nodded gratefully to Xie Ninglan.

There were only two tables in the small hall, enough to squeeze in about ten people. The rest of the people didn't mind and just slurped down their porridge.

At a time like this, no one would complain about having something hot to eat.

Xin Nian and Xiao Jinzhi went to the front office and roughly counted that there were more than a hundred doctors standing in the courtyard.

Yang Tongzhi stepped forward tremblingly and bowed, "Your Highness, most of the doctors in the city are here."

"Settle everyone down first," Liu Huo instructed. "Yang Tongzhi, you are responsible for leading us to the grain depot outside the city."

"Yes, yes." Yang Tongzhi, Zhou Tongpan, and the others dared not say no at this moment.

Overnight, the prefectural government changed hands, and the Wang family disappeared without a trace. It's easy to guess who was behind it.

They don't have the audacity of the Wang family to openly confront His Highness.

Meanwhile, Xin Nian looked around among the doctors and randomly pointed out twenty people.
