Lin Ruan didn't frown, and very calmly instructed Lu Cao to get some supper and send it to the study, she wanted to write a letter to Xiao Jingchen and tell him what had just happened.

As soon as the matter was dealt with, there was a knock on the door.

Luohua immediately went out to check, and after a while, he came in with Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou, all of whom were holding iron pickaxes and hoes, looking like they were desperate to find someone.

Aunt Zhou was relieved when she saw that Lin Ruan was fine: "It's okay if you're fine, I found out that something happened here, and your uncle and I hurriedly went to the village to call someone, but ...... There are too many people on the other side, and the people in the village ......"

They knocked on the doors of many homes to get them to come together to drive the refugees away, but they kept their doors closed. Only the dozen or so families who were good friends with Lin Ruan opened their doors.

But how can this number of refugees compete with thousands of refugees?

Thankfully, the refugees fled screaming.

Lin Ruan smiled: "Thank you uncles, I'm fine here, don't worry." In the future, no matter what movement you hear, don't rush out, I will find a way to solve it. ”

Aunt Zhou listened to the screams coming from the backyard, and asked with a white face, "Ah Ruan, what's going on in the back?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled: "It's okay, it's just that those who are making trouble have been caught and are being interrogated." ”

Aunt Zhou and the others are all countrymen, where have they experienced these things, listening to the screams, they feel terrified.

After Lin Ruan thanked them, he asked about the situation in the village, and knew that those refugees had not entered the village to make trouble, so he asked Luohua to bring a few people and send them back.

After Aunt Zhou and the others left, the green calyx shook her hands and feet and carried a tray into the house.

Although she is a slave maid, she has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and her life is more nourishing than that of ordinary girls from small families.

The screams from the backyard made her tremble uncontrollably, and the cups and bowls on the tray in her hand were all audible.

Lin Ruan glanced sideways at her, reached out and brought the bowl on the tray.

Inside is a very simple bowl of noodle soup.

Lin Ruan had a good appetite and ate attentively.

Seeing that she was not affected in the slightest, Green Calyx couldn't help but ask, "Xiangjun, aren't you really afraid?" ”

Lin Ruan didn't raise his head: "What is there to be afraid of?" ”

Lu Calyx swallowed his saliva: "That person, was it really killed by the townsman himself?" ”

Lin Ruan snorted: "Feifu they saw it with their own eyes, is there any problem?" ”

The green calyx could no longer describe the shock in her heart. That's murder! Why is the countryman so calm, he doesn't look scared at all.

She was terrified to hear that someone had been shot outside the door just now, and then she listened to those screams, and she was afraid that she would have nightmares for the next few days. But why is the townsman so calm? It seems that killing someone is as simple as pinching an ant to death in her eyes.

Not only did the green calyx have such thoughts, but even Fei Xu and the others were extremely shocked.

Before they officially became secret guards, they all underwent rigorous training, and even so, when they killed someone for the first time, they would be nervous and scared, and they couldn't slow down for many days.

But why did Lin Ruan behave so calmly, he didn't look like he was killing someone for the first time, and even had a big appetite.

Is this big-hearted or bold?

Lin Ruan noticed the eyes of the two, calmly drank the noodle soup in the certainty, and pushed the bowl aside: "When you cook tomorrow, don't shake your hands anymore, the taste is a little salty." ”

Green calyx: ......

Lin Ruan didn't explain anything to them and continued to write.

What's there to explain? Could it be that she told them that she broke out of the sea of corpses and chopped off more zombie heads than vegetable melons?

Here I wrote the letter and put it in an envelope, and Jia Yi came over and replied: "Xiangjun, I asked out, these people are a few gangsters in Qingzhou City, they said that they were instructed by a masked man to deliberately incite refugees to come and make trouble, and it is best to break into the courtyard and destroy the sweet potatoes." ”

Lin Ruan said in his heart, sure enough.

Jia Yi asked, "Xiangjun, do you need us to check the details of that masked man?" ”

Lin Ruan shook his head: "The other party is prepared, even if we investigate, it is impossible to find any clues." The other party is coming for these sweet potatoes, and once you disperse, it is likely that the other party will take this opportunity to come to the door. Therefore, the current plan is to respond to all changes with the same. ”

She had thought about digging up these sweet potatoes in advance and sending them to the mountains to hide, but she didn't know where the other party came from.

In case the other party can enter and exit Shen Wushan at will, it will be troublesome, so this sweet potato is still the safest to grow in her yard.

As soon as A heard her say this, he answered.

The next day, Lin Ruan asked people to go to the county seat and invited Qin County Order, saying that he wanted to discuss the matter of refugees.

Qin Xian Ling hurriedly came, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Xiangjun, do you have any way to settle these refugees?" ”

Lin Ruan didn't answer and asked, "What did Lord Qin plan before?" ”

Qin County Ling said hesitantly: "There is no good way for the lower officials, so they can only mobilize the rich households in the county to go out to give porridge together." But there are so many refugees that they can't hold on like this. ”

Lin Ruan didn't have much hope for this Qin County Order itself, and when he heard him say this, he knew that his original idea was to make those refugees unable to hold on and continue to go north to Huaiyang Mansion and even Kyoto.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Ruan said: "It's not a way to go on like this, the refugees have been on the periphery of the city, and the lives of the people in the city are bound to be affected." If people outside the city send things inside, they are afraid that they will be looted at the base of the city wall. The city was cut off from supplies, and it was difficult to make ends meet. ”

Qin Xian Ling couldn't help nodding: "Yes, yes, Xia Guan has been worried about this recently." ”

Lin Ruan saw his anxious look, and he didn't bother to go around in circles anymore: "Lord Qin, if you want to solve the problem of the refugee siege, I have one here." ”

Qin Xian Ling looked at her with bright eyes: "The township gentleman, please speak, if you can relieve the pain of this siege, the lower officials will definitely make a break and ask for merit for the township monarch." ”

Lin Ruan waved his hand: "Please don't say it in advance, whether this method works or not, I don't know the bottom in my heart, just say it first for your reference." In the case of refugees, soup kitchens alone will not solve any problems. So I thought I could take this opportunity to recruit a group of people in the refugee group, and let these refugees go to work in areas of the city that need to be repaired and renovated, without being paid, and taking care of three meals a day so that they can have enough to eat. Those who refuse to work are no longer eligible for food. In this way, those refugees who are waiting for white food will naturally not be able to continue to stay, and will take the initiative to leave. What do you think, my lord, for these refugees who stayed behind, let them work in the city first, and then arrange for them to return to their hometowns after the imperial court has solved the epidemic and floods in Huzhou? ”
