Chapter 67 Resolving the Refugees
Cheng An's face was condensed, he saluted the old lady, turned around and left.
The old lady asked the maid to dispose of the body, sent someone to find out how she died, and after settling down, she called Xiang Wan to come to her yard.
"What do you think of today's events?"
The old lady has always been very fond of this smart and straightforward third daughter-in-law.
Xiang Wan frowned, "If you want me to say, the biggest suspicion in this house is the Meng mother and daughter." ”
Hearing the answer she wanted, the old lady's eyes were dark.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess Meng at all, but no one can come up with evidence.
Looking at Cheng Lian'er's performance today, it is even more difficult to figure out.
For a moment, the two fell silent.
Xuan Mo Ju.
Cheng An couldn't help but press her on his bed.
Cheng Yuru looked at him in surprise, "Third brother? ”
"You're staying with me these days, and I'll go to your yard."
His dry palm touched Cheng Yuru's little face, his eyes were gentle, looking at the girl opposite who kept staring at him, and he took the person into his arms as soon as his heart moved.
His voice was lowered, like a gently plucked piano sound, which was particularly nice.
"Let's switch lives, I'll help you keep an eye on it."
Every time he thinks about today's events, he feels afraid, if he is really one step too late, there is no chance of remedy.
He couldn't even imagine what Yuru would do if something like that really happened.
But you can't directly clean up Meng's mother and daughter, which makes people very aggrieved.
In this small house, he has long known about the intrigues and intrigues, but it really happened to the people he cared about, and he was so angry in his heart.
Cheng Yuru understood what he was thinking, and sighed faintly.
"Today, I was careless."
These days, there is this marriage contract that she doesn't like at home, but outside she is worried about natural disasters.
I didn't find out her trick for a while, but fortunately, nothing happened in the end.
Two small figures outside suddenly crept in.
Cheng Yuru looked at the two children, and her heart warmed slightly, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Yongjing Yongning was very guilty, today they were busy inquiring about the news of the Wang family, but they didn't expect such an accident to suddenly occur.
Childe told them a thousand times, but they still couldn't help the adults.
Yongning suddenly thought of something, "My lord, today we found out that the Meng clan whispered, saying that it was arranged for that Cheng Lian'er to send news to Lord Lian Sheng." ”
"What's the news?"
"I said that I wanted to make a move, and I also wanted to help Lord Lian Sheng provide any ideas."
Cheng Yuru's eyes were deep, and it seemed that she was about to make a move.
"You go and keep an eye on them, don't worry about me."
Harumon-in.
Meng Shi looked at the hairpin in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Today's incident, presumably the Cheng family is suspicious of her. The originally foolproof plan was completely disrupted by Cheng An.
It seems that what the man told him before was true.
Cheng An really has another identity, thinking of his identity, the corners of Meng's mouth hooked up a smile.
It's hard to protect yourself, and you can still be a hero who saves beauty.
Day 2.
Lian Sheng came directly to the door.
Cheng Yuru had already returned to her courtyard, and she was a little surprised to see Lian Sheng coming over at this moment.
"Cousin?"
Lian Sheng was obviously a little anxious, and his steps were in a hurry.
"Yuru, in recent days, natural disasters have become more and more serious, and there is chaos in the soup kitchen for the refugees, I want to ask you, is there any way?"
Seeing this, Cheng Yuru realized that the natural disaster had reached a very severe level.
"I'll go with you directly, and we'll talk as we go."
Lian Sheng nodded directly at this, it was really good that she was willing to go and take a look.
Linglong just walked over from the side, and was directly greeted by Cheng Yuru and left the house together.
After a short time, the two rushed to the Beicheng refugee area, and looking at the chaos in front of them, Cheng Yuru realized that things seemed to have gone wrong.
She looked at one of the women with an unwilling face and squatted down, "Did you receive rice porridge today?" ”
"Whew! Your government is greedy for the people's food, and they all take it for themselves to eat, where is the food? ”
Cheng Yuru walked to the cauldron where the porridge was placed, and found that a large pot of porridge only had scarce rice grains, and the rest was almost all water.
She turned her head, "Cousin, didn't you use the rice I prepared here?" ”
Lian Sheng's face was embarrassed, "At the beginning, Yunchuan County was not the most serious area, so it was used to support other places. ”
Cheng Yuru instantly understood.
At first, it was not a hard-hit area, but I didn't expect it to be a sudden influx of refugees, and the situation became bad. What should have been supplied was diverted elsewhere, and at this time there was nothing left, and there was a natural supply gap.
Lian Sheng apparently just learned that something like this was happening.
Thinking of what the woman had just said, I thought to myself, "Who told you that your grain has been taken away by the government?" ”
With a sudden sound, the people present were suddenly stunned, and what followed was more violent abuse.
"Don't you know where you want our food to go? In the end, our food will not reach our own hands, isn't it where did you go? ”
"Like, did we steal it ourselves?"
Cheng Yuru quietly watched the scene in front of her, and didn't even say anything, and suddenly people's insults gradually became smaller.
Lian Sheng was originally very anxious, but when he suddenly saw her like this, thinking of her intelligence, he must have his own ideas, not just saying it.
Sensing that everyone's emotions had calmed down a bit, she spoke again.
"This official will be given to you to do, and you will help me solve a few problems."
"First, all the grain that was expected to be harvested was lost in the ground, how to make up for this shortfall?"
There was a quieter noise around.
"Second, the time has become longer, the new grain has not matured for a long time, and the hoarded grain has been supplied for free in large quantities.
"Finally, although you are refugees, you are not homeless, waiting for the government to provide free food every day, how can you put this face aside?"
She looked at the stunned people in front of her, and her voice gradually softened.
"It's not that the government doesn't give food, it's that the whole country is now stretched."
"The failure to provide you with sufficient food is a dereliction of duty on the part of the officials, but it is not a debt to you."
Some have bowed their heads in guilt.
Indeed, although some of them are refugees, in fact, there are many people whose family backgrounds are quite good, and when this kind of thing happens, they directly feel that the government should deliberately treat them badly, and they have never tried to help them change.
Lian Sheng saw that he said so much that it didn't have much effect, and at this moment, many people listened to Cheng Yuru's words, and their eyes lit up.
However, not everyone listens.
"Who are you talking nonsense here?"
Cheng Yuru turned her head, her eyes were cold and stabbed directly, "Me? ”
"I am a citizen of this Minzhou!"
