Chapter 436: Flooding in the South of the Yangtze River

After resting for a night, except for Lu Youruo, everyone left the inn satisfied.

Qin Zhao cautiously helped Lu Qingjin into the carriage, "Madame, slow down." ”

Lu Youruo saw it, but she didn't eat yesterday, thinking that Qin Zhao would come to see her, but she didn't want to ignore it directly, she felt a little uncomfortable, plus last night, she didn't sleep well all night, and she was sleepy and yawned at the moment, and she didn't care about going to Lu Qingjin for trouble.

If Lu Qingjin can see this scene, he must be very happy, this is a long way to go to Jiangnan, this is just a day, and he will be a lot of peace in the future.

Sure enough, half a month has passed, and they have eaten and slept along the way, Qin Zhao will look at some excerpts every day, originally there was only a little, but then more and more, and he seems to be in a special hurry, sparing the shortcut, so more often, they don't have an inn to live in.

Of course, Lu Qingjin found something abnormal, but Qin Zhao didn't say anything, so she didn't ask more.

Lu Youruo is a delicate eldest lady, holding the moon from the heart, even if Zhao Yunheng rebelled, as his wife, Lu Youruo was still safe and sound.

However, this also saved Lu Qingjin trouble, and after tossing for a while, he was finally able to clean up for a few days.

On this day, they had just entered the Jiangnan border.

"Tell me to go down, hurry with all my might, and reach Jiangnan as soon as possible."

Lu Qingjin raised the curtain, and after listening to Qin Zhao's words, he was a little puzzled.

I was thinking about waiting for him to come in and ask why? I saw a large number of displaced people outside the carriage, as if they were fleeing and moving forward.

Something must be happening here?

Waiting for Qin Zhao to come in, Lu Qingjin saw that his face was a little bad, and his brows were furrowed.

"Master, but what happened?" Lu Qingjin didn't forget that they were on a private visit to Weifu on this trip.

Qin Zhao didn't hide it from Lu Qingjin, and said immediately, "The floods in Jiangnan are serious, and I have already allocated relief food, and the officials below reported that they were washed away by the flood." ”

After speaking, Qin Zhao frowned, as if he didn't believe it.

Are so many people just eating dry rice? Can you watch so much food being swept away by the flood?

Obviously, Lu Qingjin also thought of this, "Is it that the officials have deceived?" Actually filling your pockets? ”

The more Lu Qingjin thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, she could understand that she could wash away some of them, but it was a little unrealistic to wash away all of them.

Seeing the victims outside, their faces were yellow and thin, and the flood took away their homes.

Lu Qingjin was a little surprised, Lu Youruo didn't shout this time, and sent someone over to take a look.

Waiting for the maid to come back, "Madam, Miss Lu seems to be infected with the wind cold." ”

Lu Qingjin nodded clearly, it turned out that she was sick, no wonder it had been so quiet recently, she thought she was not used to sleeping in the open air.

But it's no different than not getting used to it.

With Qin Zhao's orders, the carriage was much faster than a few days ago.

After a while, they arrived at the main city of Jiangnan.

They were not received by the governor of Jiangnan, but by an official surnamed Liang.

Qin Zhao also hid his real name.

"Welcome a few guests to Jiangnan, but unfortunately, the recent flooding in Jiangnan has been serious, and there is no scenery."

Qin Zhao shook his head, "Alas, it's our bad luck, we wanted to come to Jiangnan to do business, thank you Lord Liang for your hospitality." ”

"Little master doesn't need to say that, the adults in the capital have specially told me, if you don't dislike it, you can go with you and live in my house for a few days."

Lord Liang didn't know the identities of the people in front of him, but a few days ago, he was entrusted by a certain adult in the capital, saying that his relatives would come to Jiangnan to do business in a few days, and let him take care of one or two.

Qin Zhao naturally didn't have any opinions on Lord Liang's words, and the group left with him.

Lu Qingjin raised the curtain of the car.

Along the way, the victims were everywhere, and there were often scrambles and fights, resulting in countless casualties.

When the homeless people saw Lu Qingjin and his party, their eyes lit up.

If it weren't for their identities and the physically strong entourage around them, Lu Qingjin felt that they would definitely rob him.

For a while, there was something wrong with my heart.

"Sister, can you give me something to eat?" A little boy said crisply.

Lu Qingjin turned around and saw that he was extremely thin, and he was a little distressed.

A steamed bun was handed out of the carriage.

I saw that after the little boy took it, he didn't eat it, but trotted into the distance and gave the steamed bun in his hand to a thinner little girl.

Lu Qingjin couldn't see it, and ordered someone to send the food they brought.

"Don't rob, everyone has it."

The retinue maintained order, and it was done in a few moments.

Seeing this, Lu Qingjin was a little uncomfortable, looked at the people on the side, and said, "Lord Liang, don't you officials in Jiangnan care about these victims?" ”

When Lord Liang heard Lu Qingjin's words, he only thought that she was a woman, and he couldn't bear it, and he didn't think much about it, "It's not that I don't care, it's really that the official has more than enough heart and not enough power." ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed, and continued, "The imperial court allocated grain, and the official didn't even see a single one, I heard that it was washed away by the flood, and I pity these people." ”

After listening to it, Lu Qingjin didn't know whether to believe what Lord Liang said, and there was no interface at the moment.

When they arrived in the mansion, Lord Liang invited everyone in.

Lu Youruo was infected with the wind and cold and was not yet well, so after getting out of the carriage, he asked where he lived weakly, and it seemed that he was seriously ill, so he directly let Mingyue help him down to rest.

Lu Qingjin was afraid that she would die on the way, so she would be scolded by the Queen Mother when she went back.

"Lord Liang, my sister has contracted a cold on the road, can you please ask the doctor to take a look at her."

Regarding Lu Qingjin's request, Lord Liang nodded, called the little guy on the side, and ordered to go down.

After Lu Qingjin finished speaking, he no longer cared about Lu Youruo.

When the food came up, there was only a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles.

Lu Qingjin stared at the few grains of rice in the bowl in a daze.

Lord Liang seemed particularly embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly, "There are only these in this official mansion, and I have wronged a few guests." ”

Hearing this, Qin Zhao waved his hand and said that he didn't care, "My lord is already grateful for being able to provide us with a place to live, thank you Lord Liang." ”

While speaking, Qin Zhao kept staring at the person in front of him.

He didn't know if Lord Liang in front of him was really a Qing official, he didn't know anything about the food, or if he pretended to be too similar, if it was the latter, Qin Zhao felt that this person could actually do it without revealing the slightest, and he could be regarded as a character.

After eating, Qin Zhao took Lu Qingjin to the accommodation arranged by Lord Liang.

After making sure that there was no one, Qin Zhao expressed his doubts, "Qingjin, in your opinion, is this Lord Liang credible?" ”

Lu Qingjin shook her head, she couldn't see it.

"I don't know."
