The disaster in Baozhou is indeed much more serious than they imagined.

Lu Li turned around and looked around the entire street, which was basically destroyed, the houses had either collapsed or been damaged, and the doctor in the hospital was also sitting in the dilapidated medical hall, using the surviving herbs to treat the sick and save people.

Relief for the victims is urgent.

She has been wandering for many years, and she is used to seeing such a scene, people live in this world, fighting with people, fighting with life, fighting with the sky, life and death are often a line between life, and the gap between comfort and hardship is not large, in this world, there should be many unfortunate people.

"Master Lu looks calm." Shangguan Yinling looked at the distance slightly, her pupils were clear, but she was not a little worried.

"Natural and man-made disasters are mostly inevitable." Lu Li sighed lightly, "You don't have to suffer from gains and losses, just try your best to redeem it." ”

Shangguan Yinling looked a little surprised, he saw a lot of women in the capital who read poetry and books, they often exported poems, or were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in the face of natural and man-made disasters, life and death were difficult to do.

Looking at Lu Li, he understood that there was not only that kind of woman in the world.

The two wanted to turn back to the post station, but a thin child hurriedly ran past them, stumbling, and couldn't see the road clearly, and hit Shangguan Yuling's leg headlong, and then fell to the ground, struggling to get up.

Shangguan Yuling squatted down, picked up the child, reached out to wipe the stains on his face, and asked softly.

"Little one, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"

"Mother, mother, mother, mother, are very sick, need to see Lang Zhong......" the child said, tears falling down, and the people watching were distressed.

"Brother took Lang Zhong to accompany you to see your mother, okay? A manly man should protect his mother, don't cry. Shangguan Yinling wiped the tears of the sweaty child with his sleeve, picked up the child, and went into the medical hall to explain the situation to Lang Zhong, who was also very enthusiastic with the medicine box on his back and went with them to a house at the end of the street.

In the house, the woman's breathing was weak, a disaster almost killed her, and she finally managed to get her life back, and soon after she developed a high fever, they didn't even have the money to get the medicine, so they had to lie in bed and wait for death.

"It's not a serious illness." After Lang Zhong was diagnosed, he sighed, "It's just that the body is weak, if there is a decoction and food to wait, you can get out of bed in about ten days." ”

This is the sad part, it is not a serious illness, but because there is no herb and food, a living person has to lie in bed and wait for death.

"Doctor, you can prescribe medicine, and if you need to pay for it, go to the post station to ask for it." Shangguan drank Ling pursed his lips, they didn't bring much food, and they were a little wet from the rain for days, so they needed to dry it a little before they could put porridge to help the victims, but they didn't know if the child's mother could wait for that time.

"My lord, I know that you are Lord Qincha, but now that there are silver taels, it is not very useful, and what we lack is medicinal herbs."

"My lord, the silver taels we brought are enough, and we can let the prefect of Baozhou send someone with a sufficient number of silver taels, and quickly go to the nearby rich city to purchase medicinal materials and grain and grass and transport them back, and it will only take a day and a half to go back and forth, and the people can still wait."

"That's the only way to do it now."

The two comforted the mother and son, left some silver taels and left in a hurry, rushing to the prefect and county office.

In the prefect's county office, the county magistrate Zheng Daji was sitting in the courtyard, and on the stone table in front of him, there were more than ten plates of chicken, duck, fish and various dishes, but he was holding chopsticks and disdainful and had no interest.

"My lord, Lord Qincha is here!"

"Hurry up, get all these things down!" Zheng Daji hurriedly cleaned up the fish and meat on the table, and the next person hurriedly brought these things back to the kitchen.

When Shangguan Yinling and Lu Li arrived, Zheng Daji was sitting at the stone table and sighed.

Although it was processed in time, the back of the maid holding the plate still attracted the attention of the two people.

"See Lord Qincha," Zheng Daji saw Shangguan Yinling, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, the reverence on his face overflowing, "My lord, you are the world-famous Lord Divine Catcher, with you, our Baozhou will be saved." ”

Zheng Daji looked earnest, and there was no trace of anything wrong with it at all.

His eyes were blue and black, thinking that it was because he hadn't slept well for many days, but his face didn't look a little thin.

Lu Li looked at the people outside who were skinny and skinny, and their eyes were deep-set, but this Zheng Daji did not have this symptom.

Sitting at the stone table, she reached out and touched the surface of the stone table.

After being wiped by someone, I can still feel that there is a layer of unclear oil marks on the surface of the stone table.

It seems that this Zheng Daji is not as honest as he seems.

This man must have hidden a lot of food and grass in private.

"Lord Zheng, I came this time to discuss with Lord Zheng about sending people to purchase food and medicinal materials nearby, and the Holy Lord handed this matter over to us, and we should complete it." Shangguan Yinling also noticed this, and his sleeves were not put on the table, his expression was light, and he was unwilling to discuss with Zheng Daji why he had oil and water to eat at the moment.

At present, no corrupt official can compare to the urgency of being able to make the people eat well and sleep well.

It is not too late to deal with the problem of the disaster first, and then settle accounts with these corrupt officials.

"Lord Shangguan, please speak."

"Baozhou City is empty of food and grass at the moment, and there are no herbs that can cure diseases and save people, although we have sent disaster relief funds to each other, but we can no longer afford to undertake the task of purchasing, and I hope that Lord Zheng can send people to bring enough silver taels to buy food and herbs and other materials everywhere, so as to relieve the people and help Baozhou overcome this difficulty."

Shangguan drank Ling and said eloquently, even though Zheng Daji was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face.

"Lord Shangguan's words are exactly what the lower officials think, thanks to the timely delivery of the disaster relief funds by Lord Shangguan, it is expected that those grain dealers will not dare to raise prices when they see the official silver, so the lower officials will send someone to procure it."

What Zheng Daji said was reasonable, Shangguan Ling nodded slightly, and left the mansion with Lu Li.

"My lord, do you think Zheng Daji will honestly do what you say?" She always felt that Zheng Daji looked very treacherous, but he didn't look like an honest and obedient person.

"Whether it will be done or not, let's see if we can." The two left the gate of the palace, but did not leave immediately, but turned back to the backyard wall, Shangguan Yinling stretched out his hand to grab Lu Li's waist, jumped up, and the two jumped on the wall, lying on the wall, looking at Zheng Daji in the pavilion in the wall.

As soon as the two of them left in front, the maids in the back lined up to send the big fish and meat back, Zheng Daji looked at the fish and meat, but he didn't have the heart to move the chopsticks.

"My lord, but are you worried about Lord Nachincha?"
