Chapter 217: Refugees

You see. When he passed the bridge again, Tao Kite suddenly grabbed Fu Yinxiao's sleeve and reminded him to look down at the water.

I was startled at first sight, and the man-made creek under the bridge was full of money at the bottom of the river, ranging from gold and silver to copper coins. The shiny reflection of the light, and the most important thing is that there are still a few silver tickets floating on the water, which should be a rich man who forgot to take the silver taels when he went out and threw them away.

Fu Yin touched his purse, "Is it a custom here, then we will throw it away," he said, and took out a handful of broken silver.

Tao Kite immediately held his hand that was about to lose, took out two pennies and threw it down, "It's good that the mind is there." ”

Fu Yinxiao chuckled lightly and called out "little wealth fan".

Tao Kite took two steps and looked back at the money in the water, thinking that this was ready-made silver, but he couldn't pick it up. She was in a state of distraction, and all she heard was a thud, as if someone had jumped into the water.

Fu Yinxiao turned around with her, only to see a ragged young man jumping into the water, rolling up his sleeves and scooping up the silver coins in the water with both hands.

Tao Kite's eyes widened, can this really be the case

The young man's approach was quickly scolded by the people who worshipped him around, which attracted the person in charge of the water chestnut temple, and immediately called for someone to arrest the young man.

The young man's clothes were wet and half-soaked, but he still held on to the money he had caught. "What are you doing here, just send it to the government."

The young man shouted confidently, "You don't want so much money in the water, what's wrong with me picking up some?"

Someone next to him coaxed, "Don't talk nonsense with him anymore, the abbot will send him to the government, save the feng shui treasure of the water chestnut view"

Fu Yinxiao, dressed in civilian clothes, stepped forward and asked the young man, "Why did you steal the money in the pool?" ”

"Where is it called stealing, these silver coins have no owner, I am taking" The young man was very arrogant, and jumped to his feet angrily, "I take the money to save people"

Some people around looked at him and said disdainfully, "What you say is better than what you sing." ”

Tao Yuan saw that the young man's tone didn't look like he was lying, and frowned and said, "Who needs to be saved?"

"You dignitaries from prominent families naturally don't know how many people in our village are starving to death in this year's drought." The young man was grabbed by two strong men and shouted angrily, "Why not

Why not eat minced meat?"

"Slow," Fu Yinxiao took out a piece of jade pendant from his sleeve, the texture was cold, the color was shiny, and it looked like a first-class product. The abbot was also a man who had seen the world and guessed that he was a prominent and powerful person.

"I'm going to take this person back for interrogation." As soon as Fu Yinxiao's words fell, the little servants behind him immediately stepped forward to take the young man away.

The abbot nodded slightly and acquiesced.

Tao Kite didn't quite understand his approach, if he met a refugee, it would be good to give him some silver taels, why did he have to bring it to the house

"The imperial court allocated silver taels to the places where the drought was severe, but there were too many moths among the officials, and the exploitation continued layer by layer, and there were very few left in the hands of the people."

Fu Yinxiao sighed and said, "I'll take people back to understand how serious the drought is, I'm afraid it is several times more serious than the situation of those officials." ”

When he arrived in the mansion, Xiao Si just let go, and pressed the young man's hand to see him fly over like a wolf. Fu Yinxiao subconsciously stood in front of Tao Yuan.

But the young man just stuffed the pastries on the table into his mouth like crazy, and ate three whole plates in the blink of an eye. He choked and coughed, pounding his chest desperately.

Tao'er couldn't bear it, so she went up and poured him a cup of tea. Who knew that the young man directly held the teapot and poured it into his mouth, looking hungry.

"This" Fu Yinxiao was also shocked by this, so he could only order his subordinates to send some food, and the young man ate two bowls of rice in one go, and he didn't even care about using chopsticks, so he grabbed it with his hands all the way.

Tao Kite saw that his stomach was already swollen, and knew that he was so hungry that he couldn't stop at all, and he might die if he ate it like this.

You can only go to the kitchen in person, and the more you eat something when you are hungry, the more greasy it will be to satisfy your cravings.

Soon, the pottery kite returned, and the maid behind her lifted the lid of the casserole, and the rich aroma came to her nose, as if she could comfort the hungry soul by smelling it.

She took a spoon and divided the neatly knifed pieces of meat, the skin was shiny and shiny, the skin trembled slightly, and the sauce-colored soup was floating with soybeans and green onions.

At first, the young man was worried that the things made by the young lady herself were strange, but when he smelled the fragrance but couldn't eat it, he only felt his stomach

Medium colic.

After enduring it for a moment, he couldn't hold it anymore, and stepped forward to gobble up the pig's trotters and stuffed them into his mouth. The fat and thin pig's trotters are fragrant and glutinous, and they melt in the mouth and are a wonderful soup.

After eating, he licked the soup to the end, and finally wiped his mouth with his cuffs. "What do you want to do if you want to arrest me, if you want to keep your mouth shut, you'd better kill me, otherwise I'll have to sue the emperor sooner or later."

Fu Yinxiao said: "What is the disaster situation in Qin County, whether there are casualties or not, and the county said in the report that it is only a small disaster and will not affect the lives of the people. ”

"Fuck it," yelled youthfully, "six members of our family have died, and now all of us, except for my wife and me, have died in the famine." Even my two-year-old."

When the young man thought that he was sick and hungry, and the child who could not be saved in the end, he was heartbroken, and beat his chest and said, "Now my wife is also sick, if she dies, I will not live anymore."

After Fu Yinxiao understood all the situation, he gave the young man a sum of money and told him to buy rice, flour and grain and go back to the villagers first.

"Husband, how can this matter be good" Tao Yuan knew that as a woman, she should not interfere in political affairs, but she couldn't take care of it so much in her family, "Do you want to enter the palace to explain this matter to the emperor?"

Fu Yinxiao waved his hand, "There are more places in the country where there are disasters and famines, but it is only because Qin County is competing with the capital that that person can find it." Now there are more moths in the court, and I don't know how many people are in dire straits like them. ”

"Then why don't you just find it out and clean up the atmosphere."

Fu Yinxiao said solemnly, "If the imperial court is compared to a wooden plank, then these moths have taken root in the deepest depths, and if they are cleaned too hard, the plank will crack." ”

"Only after reporting this matter to the emperor, let him make an example of chickens and monkeys, and rectify some big people, can the corrupt atmosphere be temporarily suppressed." Fu Yinxiao's words changed, "But now, the most important thing is to save the people of Qin County first." ”

He raised his eyebrows at Tao Kite, "Tomorrow, you and I will go to Qin County to see the specific disaster situation, if it is still under control, our family will open a warehouse and release grain to save some people first." ”

Tao Kite nodded, "Okay." ”
