Chapter Seventy-Five: Lack of Food

Le Qing was naturally interested in Lin Zhizhou's affairs, but he didn't want Lin Xingyu to feel uncomfortable thinking of the sad past: "Miss Lin, I see that your face is pale, why don't you talk about it another day?" ”

Lin Xingyu took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the negative emotions that belonged to this body, and continued to write in the palm of Le Qing's hand: "I just happened to pass by the study and heard the conversation between my father and Ziyun, but they found out, Ziyunenvoy was afraid that I heard something I shouldn't have heard, but fortunately, I didn't do anything and let my father ........, and in the end, I met you." ”

After Le Qing knew the whole story, he was not shocked and fake.

This Lin Zhizhou was really ruthless, he was afraid that his conversation with Ziyun would leak out, so he strangled his beloved daughter with his own hands and threw her body into the well on the spot.

Fortunately, this Lin girl's life should not be extinguished, she was just strangled by Lord Lin at that time, and the most fortunate thing was that there was an undercurrent in the well in the backyard of the Lin family, which swept her into it, and floated all the way down the river to the stream, and was finally rescued by herself.

"Miss Lin, now that Lin Zhizhou finds out that you are not dead, will you kill the killer again?" Le Qing asked worriedly.

Lin Xingyu shook his head silently, his father now found out that she was so close to the minister who came to relieve the disaster, how could he be willing to kill her, it was nothing more than to use her!

Recently, the rain has been decreasing, but more and more people have been affected, and except for the highest part of the city, Dongcheng, the other terrain has been more or less affected by the flood.

However, on the third day, the grain transported by General Qu began to be urgent, and the Liu family grain team that was supposed to appear in Huaizhou City in the past two days was nowhere to be seen.

Leqing had to repeatedly reduce his rations and distribute them to the victims.

And now there are tens of thousands of victims, and what he has done is just a drop in the bucket.

The busiest person was General Qu, who calmed the victims on the verge of losing control while mixing the porridge in the porridge shed with a large amount of water, and even so, the remaining surplus food was not enough to last for two days.

At this time, Moti's small households, even the wealthy businessmen, all trembled, but the wrath of the dinosaur king, the heavy rain did not stagnate, so that the city of Huaizhou, where they were born and raised, was completely reduced to a water city.

On the one hand, they hoped that the heavy rain would continue and that the disaster would become serious, so that they could see how the Lord Qincha, who could not carry his shoulders and could not carry his hand, would end, and they were afraid that the flooding of the southern city, which was the lowest on the ground, would reach the eastern city.

——————————。

"What now? I'm afraid I won't be able to last as much as I am today. General Qu frowned, and walked back and forth anxiously like ants in a hot pot under his feet.

Le Qing, who was standing three steps away from General Qu, lowered his eyelids, the porridge in the porridge shed in the past two days was already sparse and no different from Qingshui, and the victims had already begun to panic, if there was no food at this time, I am afraid the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Is there any news from the people sent out to investigate?" Le Qing turned around and walked to the square table and sat down.

"The spies came to report that there was no brigade of men within a radius of dozens of miles." General Qu talked about it, sat opposite Le Qing, and irritably picked up the teapot to pour tea for himself, but when he shook the teapot, he found that the teapot was empty, and there was any tea there.

"What does the prefect of the palace say?" For this sudden series of troubles, Le Qing has no other good way.

"What else can the faint official say, it is nothing more than an excuse that there is no surplus food at home, in short, it means natural and man-made disasters, but he wants to protect himself, and has no spare energy to help the victims." General Qu threw the teapot in his hand and looked gloomy: "Jinzhi, what's the matter with your cousin?" It's been a few days, not to mention the food team, and I haven't even seen half a figure. ”

The home is cold, and the ghost believes it.

Le Qing sighed bitterly: "If it keeps raining, I'm afraid that even if my cousin comes, Huaizhou City won't be able to save it in the end, it's just a matter of time." Flooding is what worries him the most.

Fortunately, God had mercy, and the rain gradually became lighter from noon that day.

But if the ration matter is not resolved for a moment, I am afraid that the backlog of public grievances will be out of control over time.

"My lord, there's a commotion in the Dongcheng vegetable market, go and have a look!" An officer and soldier hurried in.

Le Qing's expression was dazed, and he immediately asked the child to prepare the carriage and go to the vegetable market.

Lin Xingyu, who was holding Xiao Qi, did not follow, but told Xiao Qi to stay in the yard and not go out, he had some things to deal with, and he would accompany him later.

Lin Xingyu was dressed in a heavy robe, and did not go anywhere else, but entered the Lin Mansion through the back door of the Lin Mansion.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in the Dongcheng vegetable market, and scrawny refugees surrounded the porridge shacks, hoping that the official family could give an explanation.

After all, they are the people of Great Qin, and all kinds of taxes are handed over to the treasury on weekdays, and now there are natural and man-made disasters, and they should be blessed by the imperial court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take pity on us for stuttering! The children are sick. ”

"Official, have mercy on us!"

“.......!”

The victims were crying out.

"Everybody be quiet, quiet." General Qu, who was standing at the innermost part of the porridge shed, looked back loudly and signaled everyone to be quiet: "Liao Chenliu's family will send a large amount of food in a few days, as long as everyone tightens their belts and persists for another day or two, as soon as the food team for disaster relief arrives, General Ben guarantees that everyone can receive food." ”

"What if the Liu family doesn't come? Isn't that big guy going to die here? ”

"Yes, what about the imperial court? Could it be that the emperor doesn't care about our life or death? ”

The people below began to fry the pot again, and it was obvious that General Qu's kind words and explanations had no effect.

"Hey, Lord Qincha is here, let's see what Lord Qincha says."

The crowd was in a commotion again, and they took the initiative to get out of the way.

General Qu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Le Qing coming.

Le Qing, who stopped outside the porridge shed, looked back and looked around, looking at the expressions of the victims.

All he has to do now is to pacify the victims.

Otherwise, once the people are angry, even the 20,000 garrisons in the city may not be able to suppress the riots of tens of thousands of people.

"Le has been in Huaizhou for a few days, and everyone must already know why Le came." As soon as Le Qing spoke, everyone quieted down: "As for everyone's worries and doubts, Le Mou can also understand them, but everyone should remember one thing, my emperor is benevolent and will not care about the life and death of the people." ”

"Then why didn't the emperor order someone to open a warehouse and release grain?" Someone whispered a retort.

"Now more than half of the entire Huaizhou City is covered by floods, and there is really no grain and grass to relieve the people, so my emperor ordered all continents and counties to donate grain to Huaizhou, in addition to Liaocheng Liujia, the grain teams of other towns will also arrive in Huaizhou City one after another." Although Le Qing's voice was soft and gentle, it was sonorous and powerful: "Please believe that Le, as long as you survive today and tomorrow, the food of the Liu family will definitely be delivered to you. ”
