More than 20 days have passed, and the rain in Beijing has not stopped.

The drizzling rain looked at nothing, but day and night, large areas of dead animals began to appear in the capital, and the dealer did not need to say it. Not only the capital, but the entire Dajin Dynasty was shrouded in the shadow of floods. A few days ago, the moat rose and the levee was washed away, and many people by the river drowned. The government's disaster relief is like a mantis arm as a car, and water control has become a top priority. The imperial court allocated a large sum of silver to various places for disaster relief, and it was true that it was a generous amount, but it was handed down layer by layer, and the officials who passed it had to scrape a portion of oil as usual, and only a few bones were left in the hands of the victims.

As a result, the number of people affected by the flood increased, and many of them were washed away by the flood, and they became homeless. The displaced people chose to go to Beijing one after another, firstly, because the capital was higher and the disaster was better than other places, and secondly, it was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, thinking that they might be able to eat a hot meal from the Shangguan Mansion.

However, the rain was accumulating more and more, and the displaced people continued to rise, and the government could not afford to pay the huge amount of food, so it stopped supplying food three days ago. As a result, the hungry homeless people began to rob the rich and noble families everywhere, and the rich and noble families naturally had personal guards, and the contradictions between the homeless people and the dignitaries in Beijing became deeper and deeper day by day. A few days ago, it was just a single robbery, and these days it has begun to rob houses in groups of three or five. The rich and noble families are all closed and dare not go out, and for a time the people in Beijing are panicked, hoping that the flood will pass as soon as possible.

The food in Chiang's mansion was enough to cover the expenses for a while, because everyone was unaware of the crisis. If there is a difference, it is that Li An, the second young master of Prime Minister Li's mansion, ran to Jiang's mansion every once in a while, and he didn't do anything, just talked to Jiang Quan, and his attitude was polite.

Forsythia walked in with a flower basket and said disdainfully: "Then Second Young Master Li came here again today, and those who don't know how to do it still think that Jiang's Mansion is his home." Seeing that he didn't care about Young Master Li's injury, he was about to shake hands and make peace. ”

Jiang Ruan was reading a book on the couch, and his eyes moved slightly when he heard this, it was impossible for the Li family to shake hands with the Jiang Mansion and make peace, Li Yang became a wasted person, and Li Dong and Li An were not broad-minded people. Ang Lee's current performance is just that he no longer intends to regard Jiang Quan and Jiang Susu as enemies.

Bai Zhi frowned: "When I passed by the yard this morning, the slave met the fifth aunt again, and the fifth aunt said that the master had proposed to send the girl's Geng post over, hoping to make friends with the Li family, but the second young master Li didn't agree, but there was no obvious refusal." Girl, how is this good? ”

"Don't care." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Li An is a person with deep thoughts, if you really want me to enter the Li family, it must be when I am defeated and have no power to resist before I am slowly tortured, it will not be so simple." "It's a pity, this time, Ang Lee won't wait until that time.

Bai Zhi and Forsythia were both a little worried, and seeing that Jiang Ruan didn't care, they swallowed the words back in their mouths. As he was talking, he saw Dew Drops hurriedly walking in from outside, and his face was full of joy that he couldn't hide. As soon as he walked in, he closed the door, walked to the window and looked around, and no one closed the window.

She walked up to Jiang Ruan, lowered her voice and said with a smile: "Girl, the people around Gu Gongzi have sent a message back, saying that there may be news of the eldest young master, but General Guan is coming back quickly, and the army is still on the way, and it will take more than ten days to come back." She said: "Gu Gongzi said that he can't be sure now, but eight or nine is not far from ten, that person is the eldest young master." Lu Zhu laughed: "The eldest young master is now a deputy general." ”

Dew Drop and Bai Zhi were stunned, Jiang Ruan stood up and grabbed Lu Zhu's hand: "Really? ”

Dew looked at her excitedly and smiled, "It's true." ”

Bai Zhi and Forsythia both laughed and said, "This time it's hard to come, the eldest young master will definitely take good care of the girl when he returns home." ”

Jiang Ruan sat back on the soft couch, and his eyes began to heat up.

Jiang Xinzhi is still alive! Her only big brother is still alive! In this world, she is not a person who has nothing to rely on. It's still too late in this life, she must help Jiang Xinzhi rewrite the ending of the death!

Thinking about it this way, the worries and worries of the day before yesterday were swept away, and they were replaced by full fighting spirit. In this life, Jiang Xinzhi is alive and healthy, and their brother and sister must let their enemies in the previous life die tragically, and pay for their blood debts and blood!

Jiang Ruan'er stood up again, with a pair of beautiful eyes that were charming and moving: "Since this is the case, there are some things that should be prepared." She said, "Dewdrop, if you go out and hire a few people, you will use the outcasts to buy a cauldron in order to ensure their food and drink." ”

"Girl, what is this for?" Forsythia asked.

"I'm going to give soup to the kitchen." Jiang Ruan said lightly.

The layout that has been enduring for a long time can finally come in handy at this time.

There are more and more displaced people in Beijing, and the influx of a large number of displaced people has shrouded the capital in a color of unease. The people on the street walked in a hurry, all the faces were like earth, and most of them dragged their hungry bodies and wanted to ask for an errand from the rich and noble. Not to mention the outcasts, the able-bodied outcasts began to rob the streets, the city guards were busy, but the patrol houses were unwilling to arrest these people and put them in prison, which also needed food.

But even so, the emperor did not expel the exiles, and now the Dajin Dynasty is calm on the surface, and the turmoil in the court is only understood by those who are in it. This point is even more impossible to happen, but in such a situation, the emperor is in a bad mood, hundreds of officials are trembling every day, there are honest and honest ministers who are worried about the people, and propose to release grain for disaster relief, but what they get is only the emperor's more and more unkind face, the treasury is empty, the disaster relief money sent to various places a few days ago has exhausted the silver of the treasury, and this year's crops have destroyed the city, and the grain tax paid is also an empty account.

While the people were in such a state of panic, some people in the city erected sheds and began to distribute food again.

At this juncture, the court was powerless, and had already stopped casting spells, and the people and homeless people naturally liked the court or cared for the people, and they rushed to tell each other.

The soup kitchen is simple to build, and while some people are casting spells, some people are setting up huge pots next to them to cook porridge to ensure a continuous supply. The queue almost filled two streets in the city. A total of eight people are guarding the pot, and those eight people are all middle-aged men with strong figures, all of them have big shoulders and round waists, and they have fierce faces.

The soup cooker was a kind woman, and she said loudly: "Born with a vision, the flood is raging, everyone is a miserable person, my general has mercy on the people, and deliberately changed half of the family property to make food, and distributed it to everyone, from today on, every morning we will give porridge here, everyone can get a bowl, but only one bowl." The world is not easy, and the general said that if the half-paid family property is used up, the remaining half-paid family property will also be used to help the people. Please forgive me, God cherishes Dajin, and Your Majesty is forgiving, I believe that we will be able to survive this disaster! ”

What she said was very inspiring, and it instantly gave people hope. Someone asked: "Dare to ask Madame, who is the general of the house?" ”

"How dare a little servant be called Madame?" The woman smiled and said, "The mansion is the Zhao family, the general of the auxiliary state. ”

"General Zhao!" Someone in the crowd talked about it, and Zhao Guang had a good reputation among the people, and the crowd shouted one after another: "Thank you General Zhao for your kindness." ”

"General Zhao is really a hero."

"If you want us to be cows and horses, you can also agree."

Mostly admired, outside the crowd of porridge leaders, there was a carriage parked by Wuzi, and Dew Drop lifted the curtain of the carriage to peek at a corner, and whispered excitedly: "Girl, it's okay now." ”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "The person you are looking for is very good." "Just listening to it from the outside, I think that the servant woman's mouth is very clever. Lu Zhu smiled and said: "That woman was originally the upbringing grandmother of a Gaomen lady in Cangzhou, she was literate and hyphenated, and she also spoke clearly, but the family died in the flood, and she went to Beijing alone." The slave maid saw that she spoke decently, and since she wanted to pretend to be a member of the general's mansion, she naturally had to look decent. ”

"It's already good." Jiang Ruan said with a smile.

Not far from the carriage, there was still a person standing, with a long body and a jade body, and he could wear the scenery of Zhilan Yushu in black. At this moment, he looked faintly at the crowd queuing up to receive porridge, and a trace of deep thought crossed his beautiful eyes.

After a moment, he said to the guards beside him, "Check that woman." ”

"Not from the General's Mansion?" Jinyi was stunned: "Could it be ...... Who will do good deeds and leave someone else's name? "Besides, food is scarce in the city now, and a bowl of porridge a day was nothing in the past, but now it is not an ordinary handiwork.

Xiao Shao didn't say anything, but Jiang Ruan's indifferent smile appeared in front of her, as early as more than a month ago, she bought all the old grain in Beijing, is it for this day? He intuitively felt that this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Ruan, but it had only been raining for a few days more than a month ago, how did she know that there would be a flood in Ludao?

In the General's Palace

Zhao Guang sat in the study, although he was already in the age of the sixtieth year, he still seemed to be in good spirits, and his facial features were square and awe-inspiring, and he looked like a battle-hardened general.

His three sons all stood in front of Zhao Guang, their expressions were very serious.

"Grandpa Jun sent me a word yesterday," Zhao Guang said: "His Royal Highness is ready to start dealing with the Zhao family." ”

Zhao Yuanfeng, the third young master of the Zhao family, had a hot temperament and said: "Dad, we are still afraid that he will not succeed, he is not afraid of crooked shadows, even if he lets the horse come, the Zhao family is not something that he can shake as a prince." ”

"Shut up." Zhao Guang said angrily: "When the county grandfather said this, it is a tricky matter. You get out of here, don't make a mess for you! ”

"Third brother," Zhao Yuanping, the second young master of Zhao, was fair-skinned and handsome, quite like a Confucian general, and said: "You don't know who Xuanli is, Chaozhong was not from his side a few years ago, how many were planted in his hands?" He wouldn't use it in a way that was generally above board. ”

Zhao Yuanjia, the eldest young master, sighed: "What the second brother said is right, but how could the eighth prince suddenly want to deal with the Zhao family, the fifth prince has not been cleared up now, we are supporting His Royal Highness the Prince, how could he act rashly?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm ready to make a big move." Zhao Guang's eyes were heavy: "Your Majesty has protected the crown prince for so many years, with the intelligence of the eighth prince, I am afraid that he has already seen it." He wanted to drag the Zhao family into the water. ”

"So what do we do?" Zhao Yuanfeng came up unwillingly: "Let him calculate like this?" ”

"Grandpa Jun would rather die than reveal a single star," Zhao Guang sighed: "I'm afraid it's not trivial." He changed his words: "Now that there are more and more displaced people in Beijing, the flood will not stop for a while and a half, and His Majesty has sent the Eighth Prince and the Li family to control the reservoir, I always feel that it is not so simple." ”

Zhao Guang had won countless battles when he was young, and he had a natural sensitivity to danger, which was the intuition of a soldier.

Zhao Yuanjia muttered: "Yi'er has also said this in the past few days, the number of garrisons in the city has more than doubled, and the capital is afraid that the sky will change." ”

As he was talking, suddenly the little guy hurriedly ran in from outside and said, "Master, something happened!" ”

Zhao Guang frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

The little guy was also articulate, and he made it clear in three or two sentences: "Some people are giving porridge in the city, one bowl a day, but under the banner of our general's mansion." ”

"What?" Zhao Guang got up from his seat with a "rub": "Is this serious? ”

Zhao Yuanfeng said: "Isn't it? Dad, this is the idea of the Eighth Prince? Did he have a broken brain? ”

Zhao Guang frowned and said, "Do you know that person?" ”

The little guy shook his head: "The people in the house have been to see it, but they don't know it." But they didn't do anything else but give soup kitchens. ”

"Dad, why don't I go and have a look?" Zhao Yuanjia asked softly.

"No," Zhao Guang waved his hand: "This matter is strange, wait a few days to see." ”

What is certain is that the person who gives porridge is definitely not their General's Mansion, what does the other party want to do under the banner of the General's Mansion? Is it the one who has been departed or someone else? If it is Xuanli, is there a backhand? If it is anything else, what is the origin of the people who can afford so much food right now, and what do they want to do?

In any case, this matter cannot be taken lightly.

The matter of General Zhao's grain and soup soup spread throughout the capital at the speed of the wind that day. For a while, all the streets and alleys talked about this matter, and the Eighth Prince's Mansion naturally received the news.

Xuan Li smashed the porcelain cup in his hand with a "snap", although he still had a gentle smile on his face, if he looked closely, he saw that the muscles at the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly, obviously angry.

"What a Zhao Guang!" He said coldly.

The staff came to you: "Your Highness, how could the news leak out, could it be that there is a traitor in the house?" ”

Xuan Li sneered: "What else can there be." Zhao Guang actually left this hand, which really opened my eyes! He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to ask Zhao Guang to take out the food in the house for disaster relief, and then his people would follow to help, but at this moment, the treasury was empty, and the emperor was anxious, so he would naturally agree. The Zhao family has weakened its financial resources, and it will naturally be much easier to deal with in the future. And when he proposed this method, he could also win the favor of the emperor, and the voice of the government and the opposition would rise a lot.

Now that Zhao Guang has taken the initiative to offer soup porridge, although he sees that the Zhao family's financial resources will still be weakened as much as he planned, the meaning to him is very different! Zhao Guang took the initiative to give porridge so actively, not only won the emperor's appreciation, but also established greater prestige among the people. And there is no chance for him to intervene in this matter, he is just busy, but it is a pity that this is a good time!

"How could Zhao Guang have thought of taking the initiative to provide disaster relief?" The staff said: "He has always had a stinky and hard temper, and the Zhao family's accumulated generations of family wealth have been lost like this, how can he be ruthless?" "It takes a lot of courage to donate all the money you have saved for generations.

"He's very bold." Xuanli said: "But I can't stay even more." "Even such a method of retreating has come up with it, and the Zhao family's courtiers for several generations are really not easy to overthrow. He never thought that it was someone else who was giving porridge under the banner of Zhao Guang, after all, now food is more expensive than silver, and no one would give up such a large sum of money to make wedding clothes for others.

"Your Highness, the traitor in Nafu ......." The staff asked hesitantly.

"If you can send news to the Zhao family right under my nose, it will naturally not be so easy to find out. Kill them all, change a batch. He said.

"Your Highness," the staff was shocked, "these are all carefully selected people. "It takes a lot of time and money to cultivate each one, and it's really not cost-effective to kill them all.

Xuan Li was unmoved, with a cold smile on his face: "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go." Killed. ”

The matter of Zhao Guang, the general of the auxiliary state, who had to distribute all his family wealth and help the people out of his own pocket, spread to the court at a very fast speed, and the emperor was naturally very satisfied. As soon as Zhao Guang did this, the emperor had other reasons to ask for other officials, so officials from all levels of the court paid a sum of money to fill the void in the treasury. Zhao Guang received a verbal reward, and it became a good name among the people, but he didn't suffer a loss.

As he said, the soup giver went to the city early every morning to give porridge to the people, and with stable food, there were many fewer homeless people in the capital, and it was much more peaceful for a while. Zhao Guang did not deny the matter of soup kitchen, nor did he go to the place of soup soup in person, and he has been living so peacefully. On this day, Zhao Yi, the city garrison, was leading his troops to ride through the streets of the capital. The stability of the homeless people these days has made his daily work much easier. But at this moment, I saw a small soldier riding a horse quickly, hurrying, looking very anxious, and said: "My lord, there is a pair of homeless people in Chongxinzhuang in the east of the city who are fighting with the people who live there, and they want to grab food. ”

Zhao Yi frowned, he was born as the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, he inherited Zhao Yuanjia's upright temperament, and he was most disgusted with these bandits who robbed homes and houses. said angrily: "Now that some people give porridge every day, they are still so rampant, and they deceive people too much!" After that, he said to the soldier behind him, "Come with me to see." ”

"Your Excellency!" But the little soldier said: "There are also homeless people fighting with the people in the east of the west of the city, and there are many more people than in the east of the city. ”

Zhao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Since there are not many people in the east of the city, I will take two people there." Since they are all unarmed outcasts, just to fight for food, you must not hurt people's lives. ”

After that, he said to the two soldiers behind him, "You two come along." ”

After the little soldier who passed the word saw Zhao Yi leaving, he said to the soldiers: "Follow me." ”

The two pairs parted ways, but Zhao Yi only brought two people in total. He has excellent kung fu, and he doesn't need so many people to suppress the homeless people on weekdays, so he doesn't take this matter seriously.

The horses under him ran fast, but rushed out of a carriage far away in the oblique thorns, Zhao Yi was startled, and quickly stopped the horse, the carriage also seemed to be frightened, the horse neighed, and it was easy to stop.

Zhao Yi was worried, and dismounted: "This one inside, I don't know if he was hurt?" ”

The driver was obviously hired temporarily, and he looked inside at a loss. In a moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a girl in green clothes with clear eyebrows jumped out of it.

The girl jumped out of the car and said to Zhao Yi: "You are so rude, if our girl is injured a little bit, you must be good-looking!" ”

Zhao Yi is honest and kind, and said guiltily at the moment: "It's all in the bottom, but there are important things in the bottom, Miss doesn't dislike it, report the name of the house, and go to the door in a few days to make amends." ”

The maid in green clothes was angry: "Who is rare for you to come to the door to make amends, you are dressed like this, you are a city garrison, this is to go to the office?" The capital is peaceful now, is it possible that there are still people making trouble? ”

Zhao Yi arched his hand: "There are homeless people robbing Chongxinzhuang in the east of the city, this matter is imminent, please let the young lady let me go, stay in the next and deal with it and come back, I will definitely apologize." ”

"Chongxinzhuang?" A soft voice came from the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, revealing a bright and moving face. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Did the adults make a mistake?" How could someone rob Chongxinzhuang? ”

Zhao Yi looked at that face and lost his mind a little, their Zhao family has been martial arts for three generations, and I heard that there was an aunt in the past, but they had no contact with the Zhao family a long time ago. The people he comes into contact with on weekdays are all rough martial arts ladies, how could he ever meet such a bright and feminine girl? Although several uncles said that the ladies of the Wenchen family only knew embroidery, but in fact there were a lot of flowers and intestines inside, but the beautiful girl in front of him, he would blush slightly when he saw it.

The little soldier behind him coughed lightly twice, Zhao Yi came back to his senses suddenly, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "This young lady, why do you say that?" ”

Jiang Ruan took in his expression, this cousin of the Zhao family was an interesting person, she smiled and said: "I passed by Chongxinzhuang a few days ago, which is close to the side of the mountain and has been seriously affected by the rain. The owner of Chongxinzhuang has already moved his family, and many displaced people have moved in, and there are no people in the capital to live, so how can he say robbery? ”

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, and his face turned solemn: "Miss's words are serious?" ”

"What am I lying to you about?" Jiang Ruan smiled lightly: "And ......." ”

Zhao Yi stared at her tightly, and Jiang Ruan said: "Moreover, when I went there a few days ago, that group of homeless people had knives and sticks, and they looked very vicious, and the adults were really going to take only these two people over?" I'm afraid that before I reached Zhuangzi, I was killed by the homeless people there. ”

The two little soldiers behind Zhao Yi were both startled, and hesitated: "Your Excellency, ......." ”

Zhao Yi sat in the position of the city guard, and naturally he was not an ignorant child who didn't know anything. The meaning of Jiang Ruan's words made him immediately suspect that today's incident was a premeditated conspiracy, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Let me give you an idea, there are so many homeless people in the east of the city, there must be only two people under the adult, it is definitely not enough, why don't you borrow some people from Jing Zhaoyin to go to the east of the city." If Jing Zhaoyin knew about this, he would not stand idly by. ”

Zhao Yi's mind moved, indeed, there are only two of him, and it is indeed not the best strategy to move forward rashly, but if you don't go to Chongxinzhuang, you won't be able to figure out what happened today, and you won't catch the person behind the scenes. Jingzhao Yin is also maintaining order in Beijing, and it is not difficult to borrow some people. Thinking of this, he took a deep look at Jiang Ruan, this girl appeared inexplicably, as if she was waiting for him to say this to him, it seemed that she said it unintentionally, but it was ....... Zhao Yi thought about it, did she really not know anything? In any case, if what Jiang Ruan said was true, it would save his life, Zhao Yi arched his hand: "Thank you, Miss, for telling me." ”

"Your Excellency, you're welcome." Jiang Ruan chuckled, put down the carriage curtain, the dew returned to the carriage, Jiang Ruan's voice came from the carriage: "One more word of warning, the gang of homeless people in the east of the city is vicious, not ordinary robbers at all, the more people you borrow from Jing Zhaoyin, the better, otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out." With that, the carriage grunted and drove away.

Zhao Yi watched the carriage gradually disappear from view, turned over on the horse, and shouted, "Go to Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

In the carriage, Jiang Ruan was leaning on the mat and came out under the pretext of looking for Lin Zixiang to go to the Lin Mansion, and finally caught up in time to save Zhao Yi's life. In the previous life, Zhao Yi was hacked to death by suppressing the homeless people in Chongxinzhuang in the east of the city, Jiang Ruan has always puzzled why the unarmed homeless people are suddenly so cruel, no matter how bad Zhao Yi's skills are, he will not get a tragic death. Since the exiles entered Beijing, she asked Luzhu to go outside to find people and pay attention to the movements of Chongxinzhuang. Yesterday, someone said that a group of people suddenly came to Chongxinzhuang, all of them were armed with weapons, and then dressed as homeless people.

How could ordinary homeless people carry so many weapons, or such a group of people, I think someone should pretend to be a homeless person, preparing to besiege Zhao Yi today. This man is also very good at calculating, and he blames everything on the homeless. As soon as Zhao Yi died, the eldest grandson of the Zhao family was gone, and the Zhao family was hit hard by this, and it was bound to be greatly injured, and they cooperated with the Zhao family's silver ....... I'm afraid that the Zhao family won't be able to stand up from now on.

Who could this man be? The Jiang family? The Xia family? The Li family? Jiang Ruan's eyes were deep, and I was afraid that Xuan Li would not be able to dry clean it in connection with this matter. The weakening of the Zhao family is what he is most happy to see.

However, in this life, she came out of the food for the Zhao family's disaster relief, and Zhao Yi did not die, and the Zhao family stood well among the nobles in Beijing.

Zhao Yi caught that group of people, no matter what, there were spies in the garrison of Zhilu Dao, and when he turned around and said to the Zhao family, the Zhao family was not easy to fool the past, and while thinking about things clearly, they would also begin to be vigilant. Xuanli wanted to start again, but it wasn't so easy.

The most important thing is that Jiang Ruan sighed softly, the original matter and Zhao Guang have always been a hurdle, she saved the Zhao family, saved Zhao Yi, I don't know if Lu Dao used this as a reward for the transaction, whether she could enter the gate of the general's mansion in exchange. No matter what, for Jiang Xinzhi's sake, he always has to give it a try.
