Chapter 225: Soup Kitchen Appeases the People

Such a beautiful flower looks delicate and beautiful, and most importantly, it is not easy to feed, and it definitely requires more effort to be wasted and carefully cared for by a clever woman. But Hongqiang is definitely not this type, she is bold, usually very aggressive, and it is impossible to take care of a pot of flowers carefully.

Staying here for a while, seeing that there was no movement next to it, An Hui carried the pot of orchids back to the room.

Waiting until the next day, An Wei and Chu Xingze proceeded according to the original plan.

Hongqiang first took the villagers to dig the well, but after digging for a whole day, they dug dozens of meters deep without digging water.

This made Hongqiang look a little depressed, and when she waited until the third day, she planned to dig a few more meters, but the people were not happy.

"We think that no matter how much we dig this well, it will be impossible to dig up water, so don't use this way to perfunctory us!"

One of them fell to the ground clutching the tool in his hand, and the other men did the same, throwing everything to the side, not wanting to continue digging the well.

Hongqiang comforted her for a long time, but it still didn't work, and the men still threw down their tools and left here in a hurry. She had no choice but to report this matter to An Wei and Chu Xingze to know.

"They're really grumpy." There was some resentment in An Bin's tone, but it was understandable.

These refugees didn't have much to eat in the first place, and they were exhausted, and it was good enough to be able to dig all day.

At this moment, a young man dressed as a scholar came. Chu Xingze and An Wei recognized that he was the master in the yamen.

"What's the matter here?" Seeing this situation, Chu Xingze asked a little depressedly.

Seeing him running so quickly, something big must have happened.

Sure enough, as he guessed, the situation in the yain is not optimistic now, and the master knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Please save my lord, now our yamen has been surrounded, and those refugees threatened to smash the county government, saying that they would burn my lord to death and rob all the things in the house......"

This master was trembling nervously as he spoke, and that situation made him extremely afraid.

Chu Xingze and An Huan's faces changed instantly, they never dreamed that these refugees would be so fierce that they threatened to burn the yamen and the court officials.

"These people are too much, let's go over and see!"

Chu Xingze slapped the table and immediately went over with An Wei and the others.

When they arrived at the gate of the county government, they found that the refugees were holding bricks in their hands, and some were holding tree branches and other tools, smashing at the gate of the county government.

Some people who went too far took a few barrels of oil and wanted to burn the county government, but someone had already poured the oil on the gate.

"Folks, these dog officials have done nothing, their court is mediocre and incompetent, and they don't even care about our life or death, we will turn against us today! Rush into this dog official's house, snatch all his food, and burn this dog official by the way, he deserves to die if he is incompetent......"

Several leading men shouted loudly there, and they responded in unison, clearly responding to their current thoughts. They have been pushed to the point where it is difficult to contain them, and even if they are weak now, they have come to the point of snatching food.

Then they continued to smash the county office, and some people had already lit a fire on the straw stack next to it, and the fire was so fast that it soon burned. Chu Xingze didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately asked people to go to put out the fire.

Then a group of officers and soldiers came over, and they surrounded all these people according to Chu Xingze's order.

"You lackeys of the court, we have all become like this here, and you are still pretending here. If you have the ability to kill us, what is the difference between dying by your sword and starving? We are willing to die a vigorous death, if you have the ability, you can come! ”

The refugees are not afraid of death at all, and they still want to fight with these officers and soldiers with something.

Seeing this situation, Chu Xingze didn't dare to let these officers and soldiers act rashly, and besides, he never thought of killing these refugees.

Under the signal of Chu Xingze's eyes, these people put down the big knife in their hands, and did not intend to harm these refugees.

And Chu Xingze wanted to walk to the side, and An Yan pulled his wrist, the meaning was obvious, afraid that these refugees would suddenly be rough on him.

"It's out of the way." A calm smile crossed the corner of Chu Xingze's lips, and then he came to a place very close to these refugees.

"I know that everyone is hungry and want to eat now, and I also know that the reason why everyone doesn't trust the imperial court is for a reason, I can very well understand everyone's thoughts now......" Chu Xingze stood in their perspective and said a lot of impassioned words, which calmed down the anger of these people a lot.

But they still had a little dissatisfaction on their faces, obviously thinking that Chu Xingze had done nothing at all, and they were just here for decoration. The purpose is to be promoted and make a fortune, to fulfill their careers, regardless of their life or death.

At this time, Hongqiang came from the side, holding a lot of steamed buns in her hands and a few jars of water in front of them.

When they saw these steamed buns, the refugees instantly began to swallow their saliva.

"Send these things to everyone." Chu Xingze motioned to Hongqiang with his eyes and distributed these steamed buns one by one.

After Hongqiang nodded, according to Chu Xingze's meaning, he gave these steamed buns to these refugees.

They ate quickly, snatching up all these steamed buns almost in the blink of an eye, and then stuffing them into their mouths one by one.

Seeing that they looked so ugly, Chu Xingze's heart was quite sour. If they weren't so hungry, how could they be so desperate.

"I hope you believe in the imperial court, the imperial court sent me here to save everyone from fire and water, as long as we work together, we will be able to get through this difficulty, and I promise that unless everyone's problem is solved, I will never return to the court!"

Chu Xingze made a guarantee in front of them, originally these refugees did not trust them.

But such words made the refugees trust Chu Xingze in an instant, and even be in awe.

Seeing that they were conquered by Chu Xingze's words, An Wei on one side was quite relieved. I admire Chu Xingze a little, he usually looks sick and in poor health, but in fact, he is a person with great wisdom.

"From tomorrow, a porridge shed will be set up at the entrance of the yamen, everyone can come here to eat, please believe me, I will be able to tide over the difficulties smoothly!"

Chu Xingze did not pose his identity, but just comforted them in an approachable tone.

For a while, these refugees had no intention of making trouble, and put down their weapons and went home, what they needed was not a solution to the problem, but an attitude given to them by the government.

For them, attitude is more important than words.
