Chapter 376: A Glimmer of Life in the Refugee

Baihua Street is mostly located in the Wu family shop, and most of the ordinary people are literati and ink writers, but most of the people who read books have good character, so there are fewer sneaking and abduction on this street than in other places, but today I don't want to be encountered.

Yao Xi was embarrassed by Qiu Ji's amber, but she listened to the shopkeeper's scream, and when she turned around, she saw Wei Za's figure disappear outside the door in a flash, and she looked at Qiu Ji's waist anxiously: "The money was stolen? As he spoke, he turned around and ran out.

Qiu Ji couldn't pull her, but fortunately, Yao Yan couldn't see Wei Za's shadow when he went out, and he didn't know whether to chase left or right for a while, she turned her head and said depressedly: "How much was stolen?" This eldest young master, he won't casually bring a few hundred taels with him when he goes out, so he can't be distressed to death.

"Less than a tael. The corners of Qiu Ji's mouth twitched slightly.

Fortunately, it's not much, Yao Xian patted his chest, I'm afraid that he can't catch up with him now, I just hope that Wei Za will be more agile, he is a practitioner anyway, so that he can't even catch a thief, if she really lets the thief run away, she is bound to have to wash Wei Za well.

Qiu Ji bypassed Yao Shi and went down the steps and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going? Don't wait?" Yao Yan was puzzled, but he still kept up with Qiu Ji's footsteps.

Qiu Ji led the way to the left and said, "The sackcloth that the thief is wearing is a disaster relief dress issued by the imperial court recently, and he must have come out of the refugee." ”

Yao Xian suddenly, she turned her back to the door and didn't see what the thief looked like, but when she heard that it was a refugee, she couldn't help but sigh, although she knew that the refugees had caused a certain security problem in the inner city, but she didn't want to really encounter it.

"In the past few months, the problem of dealing with refugees has been plaguing Liao Jingzhao, and the number of people is the capital, so it is not good to drive people out directly, otherwise it will definitely make the people of the world cold, but this box has a policy, and that box has been passed out, and the influx of refugees around it has become more and more. Yao Yan muttered.

Qiu Ji glanced at her meaningfully: "Liao Jingzhao has already handed over the fold, proposing to let the people in various cities donate clothes, and the big households and squires donate the fields, which is a good way, but his method has also made him a lot of enemies, and he is also forced to be in a hurry." ”

Yao shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Of course, she knew that Liao Weizhang's mention of this plan was bound to cause a lot of dissatisfaction.

In a single sentence, he is a public servant, and it is good to want to solve the refugee problem, but others, especially those who have suffered from the interests of this matter, may not have the mind not to blame him.

The matter of land acquisition must be dealt with by the Ministry of Households, and the matter of donating clothes and building houses must be dealt with by the Ministry of Industry. Even if Liang Zi doesn't get married, Liao Weizhang will inevitably be watched by others, and if he makes a mistake and takes half a step in the future, he will probably have to be ginseng.

Not only that, the matter of donating clothes to build a monument of merit is more likely to go wrong, if any state or county practices a crooked atmosphere and forcibly loots the people's fat and ointment, it will not only cause public resentment, but also Liao Weizhang's fault when it reaches Beijing.

Yao Xian thought of all kinds of possibilities in the future, and his heart was undisturbed, although Liao Weizhang had no enmity with her, but Qiu Zhan's death had a great connection with him, although he only acted according to orders, but Yao Xian couldn't blame him at all.

How could she forget Qiu Zhan, she didn't forget for a moment, she just didn't have the ability to avenge Qiu Zhan and seek justice.

But she has time, she is not in a hurry, this time she gave Liao Weizhang a plan, although she had the intention of revenge, but she didn't really want Liao Weizhang to have a bad time, at most there would be more trouble in the future, so it was enough, the person she was really looking for to settle accounts was sitting high above at this moment.

Knowing that the thief was heading for the refugee, the two went directly to the refugee camp in a carriage, and after about two quarters of an hour they crossed the edge of the outer city, and after another two quarters of an hour, they finally arrived at the refugee camp.

Yao Xi has never been here, a group of people are wearing all the same color linen clothes, all of them have dark faces, because of the rain a few days ago, the ground is muddy, some people are wearing straw sandals, some people have no straw shoes, the pair of feet are in the mud, and their legs are full of dirt.

There is a woman holding the child sitting in a pile, Yao Xian can vaguely see the slightly dark water in the broken bowl, I don't know whether it is muddy water or rain, the weather is already hot, the woman's thirsty mouth bubbles off the skin, but even a bowl of dirty black water is reluctant to drink, but little by little to feed the child in his arms.

In the distance, there was a sound of hey, but a group of men were wielding axes to cut down trees, this is a rare plain, on which many wooden sheds have been built, but they do not shelter from the wind or rain.

There is a foul pungent smell in the wings of the nose at all times, and you can hear a lot of flies buzzing, these refugees, eating and drinking Lazar are here, and the weather is extremely hot, this place is naturally muddy.

Yao Yan sighed slightly, "Forget it, it's not easy to live, no one is willing to steal, you must be cornered." ”

"If you are desperate, that little bit of silver is not enough, and if you find someone, you can still help. Qiu Ji turned his eyes around, and saw that there was a place where the most people were around, and while raising his feet to walk there, he said to Yao Yan: "You follow me." ”

The surrounding refugees have already turned their eyes on her and Qiu Ji, and some people have already stood up and tried to surround them, and the one who is surrounded in the distance is probably Wei Za. Yao Xi hurriedly followed behind Qiu Ji.

Seeing that someone was coming again, the refugees who had gathered in several circles automatically moved out of the way, and Yao Xi saw Wei Za standing outside a wooden shed, and there was a faint sound of sniffing and choking inside.

She turned her head to see a child of seven or eight years old kneeling before a woman who was lying motionless with her eyes closed, and the child was wiping her cheeks and arms with a black cloth towel dipped in a bowl of blackened water.

Wei Za turned around and shook his head at the two, Yao Xi glanced at the child again, although the tears kept falling like beans, but he didn't cry, the people around him stood silently without saying a word, and only the sound of flies and mosquitoes could be heard in the sultry air.

Wei Za walked out and said to Qiu Ji and Yao Yan: "When I came, I was already out of breath, and I had no money to treat my illness......

In such an environment, how can people live? Yao Yan glanced around, then looked at Qiu Ji, and the three of them walked out together.

After walking out of the muddy land, Yao's dizzy head cleared up, she knew that the refugee problem was serious, but she didn't know that this was the scene. The outer city is only separated from the inner city by a line, but the difference is 108,000 miles.

The scorching sun overhead was scorching, and the horses were panting hot, and Yao Yan sat in the carriage in a daze.

Qiu Ji opened the window, a cool breeze blew in, Yao Yan closed his eyes comfortably, and opened them again after a while, his eyes were already silent.
