Chapter 139: Disaster relief out of the city

After listening to Gong Xiru's words, Mrs. Hu felt that the latter was too nonsense, so she couldn't help but persuade: "Although this official doesn't know who you are going to deal with, it is obviously not a wise move to force them to come, and this is too risky." ”

"If they sit and wait to be killed, will they let go of tens of thousands of people in heather?" Bai Lang said coldly.

Mrs. Hu was stunned, lowered her eyes and pondered, and after a while, she made up her mind and said, "Okay, what do the three young masters need the cooperation of the officials, just to keep the poisoning and prescriptions secret?" ”

"Also, Master Hu has to cooperate with us to find Shi Nan's spy and find him, so that there can be an antidote." Bai Lang said.

Mrs. Hu flipped through the roster, there were many names, and they were not very familiar, and he asked, "How did Young Master Bai determine that there were poisoners among these people?" ”

"I'm not sure, it's just a guess, these are all people who have only come to heather in the last month or two."

Gong Xiru nodded and said: "The local people of Shinan, it is unlikely, they are also victims of this disaster, and outsiders are the most suspicious, but we can't publish the roster, nor can we leak the fact that we are secretly looking for spies, which will inevitably startle the snake." ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Mrs. Hu finally agreed.

Facing against those who were hiding in the shadows, Lu Xiaotian felt that the three of Gong Xiru had that ability, and he now finally knew that Ling Yi had called him over not only to prevent the theft of official silver, but also this man-made epidemic.

"I'm going to be away for a while, and during this time, you support as much as possible, and I will prepare enough antidote as soon as possible, in addition. In the afternoon, I will have someone bring medicinal herbs. Lu Xiaotian said to the others.

Mrs. Hu was overjoyed: "Doctor Lu has a way?" ”

Lu Xiaotian's eyebrows were slightly raised, so unexpected, but he was also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes. It is not difficult to find some common medicinal herbs.

"You three, no problem." Lu Xiaotian looked at the three of them.

Zhu Mo's nostrils turned to the sky: "What problems can we have, you still have to worry about how to find so many antidotes." Just don't hold us back. ”

Lu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing, and the stone in his hand didn't know where it came from, and threw it towards Zhu Mo's head.

Zhu Mo's spirit was tense and he quickly flashed. But Shizi'er seemed to know where he was going to hide, and he still hit him on the forehead.

"Ahh Zhu Mo covered his forehead with a faint pain and shouted.

Bai Lang chuckled: "Everyone is gone, you want to fight alone." Chase it. ”

Zhu Mo fixed his eyes and saw that there was no one in the house.

He muttered in surprise: "This doctor is really the person next to Ling Yatou, when did she have such a powerful character?" ”

Gong Xiru knocked on his head: "Think about what to do so much, let's think about how to find out the person who poisoned him as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Mo pursed his mouth. But I thought to myself. When I go back this time, I must ask Ling Yi where she found someone as good as Lu Xiaotian, and when the time comes, she will also find someone to be her personal guard.

If the heather is stabilized, then the capital has begun to be chaotic.

The first batch of refugees from heather have all poured out of the capital, and Emperor Qinglong has not been able to cause riots when the refugees enter the city, and strictly control the south gate of entry and exit. You can't go out inside the city, you can't get in from outside the city.

But that's not the way to go. Emperor Qinglong once again asked Gong Chengyan to take charge of controlling the refugees outside the city, and allocated 30,000 silver to the latter to build tents and soup porridge for the refugees, so as to calm the emotions of the refugees a little.

People in the city can't go out, and many people are bored, so they go out to play in the streets or in the mountains and rivers in the city.

Weaving Fan is an active character, she will be bored if she doesn't go out for a few days, she came to Ling Yi's study and walked over on tiptoe.

Ling Yi was writing when she heard footsteps and said with a smile: "Want to go out?" ”

Weaving Fan scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's still the eldest lady who understands the bad habits of the maid, the maid really can't stay in the house, the eldest lady-"

"If you want to go out and have fun, you don't have to report everything to me."

Weaving Fan waved his hand again and again: "Reporting is a must, my sister is right, it used to be a maid who was too unruly - eldest lady, why don't you go out for a walk, it's annoying to be bored in the house all day long." ”

Ling Yi stopped his pen, folded the letter and put it into an envelope, handed it to the weaving fan and said, "You send this letter to the Baifu to Miao Hairpin, and we will go out of the city together in the afternoon." ”

"Out of town?" Weaving Fan was surprised: "Isn't it forbidden to go out of the city?" ”

Ling Yi smiled slightly: "Ordinary people are forbidden to go out of the city, but I have asked my father to ask for an order in front of the emperor for me, and the Ling Mansion will give 10,000 taels of silver for the people, and I have sent someone to prepare bedding and clothing supplies, and you and Zhi Yu will distribute them to the victims for me when the time comes." ”

Weaving Fan said excitedly: "The maid is going to deliver the letter." When is the eldest lady going out of town? ”

"I'll go when Miao Hairpin comes, and in addition, let Liang Kai bring things and wait at the south gate."

Weaving the fan said, retreated, went straight to Baifu, and after giving the letter to Bai Miaojia, he hurried to Luoxia Garden.

After receiving Ling Yi's letter, Bai Miaoqi happily agreed, thinking that it was a good thing, and secondly, she also felt that it must be very interesting.

Ling Yixin asked him to call Zhang Zuolun as well, Bai Miaojian didn't realize that he had him, and asked his subordinates to prepare things while writing a post for people to send to Zhang's mansion.

After Zhang Zuolun received Bai Miaoqi's letter, he jumped up happily. Ling Yi reminded him before that the family affair with Bai Fu could not be nonsense, and he had no follow-up because of this, in order not to be heartbroken and troubled, he even deliberately avoided Bai Miaoqi.

Maybe it was the long-term longing that made him forget everything, and the moment he received the post, he just thought that he could see Bai Miaoqi, which was wonderful.

The post said that he was going to help refugees outside the city, and Zhang Zuolun couldn't leave empty-handed, so he prepared a lot of food, and finally drove a big carriage to stop outside Baifu.

Bai Miaoqi was also ready at this time, and the two of them took a carriage all the way to Lingfu.

Ling Yi had been waiting for the two of them for a long time, and after the convergence, the three of them went directly to the south gate.

Liang Zhen, who had been waiting for the morning, saw the team of three people coming towards him, and quietly drove the carriage to follow.

The city guard received the news and knew that the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion was going out of the city to do good. Don't dare to stop it, open the city gate and let the group out of the city.

The refugee area was located in a suburban area outside the city, and it took less than half an hour by horse-drawn carriage to arrive.

Ling Yi jumped out of the carriage. Let the weaving fan and Zhiyu be responsible for distributing supplies to everyone, and said to Bai Miaojian and Zhang Zuolun that they had something to delay and leave for a while.

She was far away from the area of Bai Miaojian and the others, so that Liang Kai drove to a farther and more remote side, and at that time, she had already changed into Tsuji Niang's outfit.

There are fewer refugees here, so Ling Yi asked Liangqi to send things to everyone. I observed it quietly.

Wait until everyone has food and clothing.

She said, "I know that there is injustice in heaven, and I also know that this little thing outside my body cannot heal the wounds in your heart.

But there is no end in the sky, among you. A lot of people have lost their relatives and friends, you have lost your home, you don't even know what you want to do in the future, that's okay. I'll let you find out what you're going to do in the future.

Whether it is the official relief of the imperial court or the people's relief. You can't go on forever, you all have hands and feet, so you have to stand up, you have to learn to find food for yourself. ”

Ling Yi took out a land deed and said: "This land is owned by me, I will give each of you a piece and provide you with materials, and all you have to do is to cultivate the land yourself." I won't even collect taxes from you. ”

The refugees looked at each other. There was shock and surprise in his eyes.

Ling Yi said what was on their minds, and they also knew that it was impossible for the imperial court to provide supplies all the time, but they had nothing, and it was impossible for them to even want to go into the city to find a job to do, and it would not be a dead end in the future.

The crowd gradually became lively, and people knelt down and kowtowed one after another and shouted "Living Bodhisattva".

So, a widow dressed in white like a fairy, Tsuji Niang, became famous in the refugee area, and everyone said that Tsuji Niang was the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, and everyone said that she was more like their savior than the imperial court.

When Ling Yi returned to the disaster relief area in Lingfu, it was already afternoon.

Bai Miaojian has been distributing supplies to people all day long, she is extremely bored, and she really wants to find a chance to sneak away to play, but Ling Yi has never come back, and she is not good to leave Zhang Zuolun alone.

It was easy to wait for Ling Yi to come back, and Bai Miaoqi said angrily: "You asked us to come to disaster relief, but we didn't run away, where did you go in the afternoon?" ”

Ling Yi smiled apologetically: "There are some personal matters to deal with." ”

Ori Yu came over and said, "Miss, our things are almost done, do you think you want to stop today?" ”

Bai Miaojian also pointed to his remaining quilts and said, "My things are gone, Fusheng, why don't we go back today and come back another day?" ”

Ling Yi understood her, but she was just playful, and nodded to let people pack up their things and go home.

After returning to the Ling Mansion, the Lan family praised Ling Yi well, saying that she was accumulating virtue for the Ling Mansion.

Ling Yi laughed and said that he was just doing good with the money from the Ling Mansion.

After saying goodbye to the Lan clan and returning to the Lan Pavilion, Ling Yicai lay on the bed tiredly.

Ori Yu fetched water for her to wash, and as soon as she finished washing, Ori Fan walked in from outside.

"Miss, Liang Kai sent a few names over, saying that someone has taken them to Luoxia Garden, see when you see them."

Ling Yi rubbed his forehead, which was a little painful: "Tomorrow, I'll go to Luoxia Garden early tomorrow morning." ”

Weaving Fan said, helping to make the bed and waiting for her to lie down.

Before dawn the next day, a carriage quietly drove out of the back door of the Ling Mansion, and the carriage spared a few laps in the city, without arousing anyone's ideas, and finally entered through the back door of Luoxia Garden.

Liang Yi asked people to see if anyone was following him, and welcomed Ling Yi to the living room.

"The little one observed for a day yesterday, and there are three people who are not bad, and they are already waiting outside the hall."

Ling Yi motioned for him to call the three in.

The three of them were all people who had been favored by Tsuji Niang, although they didn't know why they were called over, after seeing Ling Yi, they still kowtowed gratefully to thank them.

Ling Yi asked them all to get up, and then said, "It's not a bad thing to bring you here, but to give you a good job, I can see that you weren't a farmer before." ”

The three of them laughed, and one of them said respectfully: "If Mrs. Hui says, the villain was the shopkeeper of the silver shop before." (To be continued......)
