The family was almost destitute, and the county commander's wife had the foresight to wipe out the dusty tables, chairs and benches on the side, and Gu Rin and them were finally able to sit down.

Gu Rin twisted his eyebrows and asked, "You said that the people in Shushui County are hungry, but I remember that the imperial court has already allocated several disaster relief funds, and this amount of silver is not a small amount, so it can't change the situation in the city."

Is it good? ”

The county commander looked embarrassed, and sighed for a while: "The elder of the pavilion doesn't know, I don't know about this disaster relief fund, I don't count." ”

Su Yu tapped on the table, this Shushui County, there is really something strange.

"What the hell is going on?" Su Yu's face was slightly gloomy when he heard this, and he said softly, "Don't have any scruples, we will make decisions for you." ”

"Do you know Zheng Lao?"

Gu Rin shook his head very dryly, "I don't know." ”

The county order said, "Zheng Lao is the father of Zheng Cheng, the Shaoqing family of Dali Temple, and his official position is the fourth grade, and his power is very great in Shushui County." ”

"A few months ago, the drought in Shushui County began, and the people were struggling to make a living, and the imperial court had approved a disaster relief fund, but before it fell into my hands, it was directly cut off by Zheng Lao halfway." The county magistrate gritted his teeth, and his face was very unwilling, "Even if half of that money fell into my hands at that time, Shushui County would not fall into this border now." ”

"Zheng Lao." Gu Rin squinted his eyes and repeated, "Cut off the Hu for disaster relief."

Is he the only one? ”

"There's one more." The county magistrate replied, "This person is the magistrate of Cangzhou, the official position is from the fifth grade, the two collude with each other, and many people's life-saving money is so greedy by them, I am a small county magistrate, and there is nothing I can do." ”

"What scum!" Murong Xuan slapped the table and scolded angrily, "Such a person is also worthy of being an official!" ”

Gu Rin was thinking about how to deal with it, and suddenly felt that there was a gaze

Looking at himself, he looked back sensitively and met the burning gaze of the county commander's wife.

"Ma'am, is there something wrong?"

The county commander's wife gritted her teeth, her heart was crossed, and she knelt on the ground with a thud, crying, "My lord, in fact, I shouldn't say these words, but our family is really desperate." ”

"Shut up!" The county commander stood up and hurriedly said, "What did I tell you?" ”

His high-pitched mood was stopped by a fluttering gesture from Gu Rin, and Gu Rin said lightly, "Please have something to say, there is nothing you can't say." ”

The county magistrate's wife was already full of tears, "My lord, the disaster relief money was divided between those two villains, and it is difficult for Shushui County to move an inch. ”

"Since my husband is a county magistrate, it is natural that he should share the worries of the people." She continued, "But as the county magistrate's wife, I am also the mother of my child, and seeing that the child can't eat, I really can't."

Bear with it any longer. ”

After hearing this, Gu Rin turned his head to look at the county order, "What can't you say about this?" ”

The county magistrate arched his hand and said, "My lord, I think personal affairs are small things, and people's affairs are big things, but life is a little tight, and it's not that I can't live such a life." ”

Su Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "It's true that you are a county order, but your family is not considered a common person?" You can't even manage a small family, and we do

How can you rest assured that you are going to manage Shushui County? ”

The youngest daughter of the two shrunk in the corner, although her face was yellow and thin, but she could also see her delicate appearance, she could have enjoyed the childhood she should enjoy.

"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" Su Yu's voice said loudly, "Since you are a county magistrate, you should have read a lot of poetry and scriptures, don't you understand this simple truth?" ”

The county magistrate stood in place and thought for a while, and suddenly walked to his wife

Qian, bowed deeply and said, "Madam, I didn't think it through, I'm sorry." ”

"You're very conscious?" Gu Rin said lightly, "It's good to know your mistakes." ”

He beckoned, and the guards behind him immediately sent a package, and Gu Rin slapped the package in front of the county order, "This is the new disaster relief money given by the imperial court to Shushui County, and now I will give him full authority to you." ”

"You can't solve all the problems, but you can get through it

Difficulties. Gu Rin said slowly, "What you just said about the Shaoqing family of Dali Temple, I will investigate it in Shushui County." ”

"Thank you, sir." The county commander thanked him.

Gu Rin looked at the little girl who was cowering timidly in the corner, sighed and beckoned, "Come here." ”

The little girl squirmed for a long time, and finally walked in front of Gu Rin.

She was skinny, with almost only a layer of skin on the outside of her bones, and she was almost ten years old, and her height was less than his waist.

"What do you usually eat?" Gu Rin asked softly.

The little girl thought for a moment and replied, "I ate turnips yesterday." ”

"And what about today?"

She shook her head.

Gu Rin sighed, took out a few taels of silver from his money bag and put it on the table, "These are to subsidize your family, no matter what, she is still a child and is growing her body, so she can't afford to eat badly." ”

Mrs. County Ling said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Gu, for your life-saving grace, I will never forget it." ”

"Don't." Gu Rin said lightly, "I just came to the disaster relief on the mission of the imperial court, if you want to thank you, you can thank the imperial court." ”

"Also, the grain distributed by the imperial court will also be delivered to Shushui County within five days." He knocked on the table, "There will be no famine in the short term." ”

"Great." When the county magistrate heard this, his face finally had excitement,

said continuously, "The people can finally not endure hardships, thanks to you, Master Gu." ”

Gu Rin sighed, "You don't have to wear a high hat for me, these things are something that Shushui County itself should enjoy, instead of flattering me, you might as well scold the Shaoqing family in Dali Temple." ”

Su Yu saw that the county commander looked embarrassed, and said, "The county magistrate is also kind..."

Gu Rin sighed, "You don't have to give me this kindness, still."

Give it to the people. ”

Su Yu turned his head angrily.

This man is just... Oil and salt do not enter!

No wonder the court has mixed opinions about Gu Rin, it is estimated that they are all angry with his casual attitude, Rao is Su Yu has been relived for a lifetime, and he is still angry.

"I'll tell the people to open a warehouse and release grain." The prefectural magistrate changed the subject and said, "This is really good news. ”

Three days later, the grain wagon of the imperial court arrived in Shushui County, and at the gate of the government, the people lined up early, and the excited expressions on their faces were undisguised.

"Don't fight, people." The county magistrate shouted loudly on the side, "Every family has food to eat, the imperial court has sent people to help us, and we don't have to go hungry anymore!" ”

He was very happy to return to the mansion and said to his wife beside him, "Go and make some delicious food, and thank these adults." ”

"No need."

Su Yu stood up, affectionately took the hand of Mrs. County Ling and said, "We came here for disaster relief, and the people are still eating chaff vegetables, how can we set up a banquet?" ”

"It's good to be at home." She said slowly, "I will eat whatever the people eat." ”

According to what Su Yu said, Mrs. County Ling prepared some lighter food, and several people gathered at a table and were eating quietly, but they couldn't think of it

Suddenly an uninvited guest came.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, and the footsteps were chaotic, and almost instantly, the door was violently kicked open.

The person who came looked fierce and evil, and he was wearing a very good outfit, wearing a yellow shirt and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, Su Yu took a shallow look and knew that the price was expensive.

He broke into the house quite unceremoniously, and bumped into Mrs. Prefectural Commander who was holding a plate, and immediately grabbed Mrs. Madame's arm and murderously

asked, "Say, what about others!" ”

"Zheng Lao! You let her go! The county magistrate rushed over directly and rescued his wife, "What do you have to say to me, what kind of ability is it to be angry with a woman!" ”

"You're out." Zheng Lao's face was full of gloom, "Have the people outside eaten?" Where do you get the money? ”

The county magistrate protected his wife behind him, and said righteously, "Do you have any comments on the disaster relief money issued by the imperial court?" ”

Zheng Lao narrowed his eyes, "Why didn't you ask me and directly moved the disaster relief funds?" ”
