Anqing City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, only more than 300 miles away from Kyoto, and there is a necessary road to Kyoto through the city, so even the small platform county located on the outskirts of the city is extremely prosperous!

The wind came down, and Ivan finally stopped being so uncomfortable, gray-headed, dizzy, and sluggish, and walked towards the yamen like a ghost.

Today is the day of disaster relief in Platform County, and a group of people who fled have tried their best to rush to the front, just to get more food in front of the Platform County Government.

The county government gate was so lively, the victims were gobbled up food, and the county commander Zhou Guang looked at the victims and frowned, with a displeased face: "Master Lu, Master Lu!"

"Hey, eat slowly, and don't rush!" Master Lu greeted the victims, and when he heard the shouting, he hurriedly walked over: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Command?" Zhou Guang raised his hand and slapped him: "Master Lu, who are these people?" Why isn't there a young and decent little girl? What do you do? ”

Master Lu's face was embarrassed: "Master, this ...... These are all disaster victims, hungry, all of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, especially little girls, most of them can't get through it, it's really hard to find. ”

Zhou Guang glared: "If it's hard to find, you have to find a way!" Take advantage of this opportunity to get some girls to sell in Xiangmenglou, but you can make a lot of money, cut off my financial route, affect my business, see if I don't break your dog's legs, huh! He flicked his sleeves and turned back to the yamen.

"This ......" Looking at Zhou Guang's back, Master Lu had a sad face, and couldn't help complaining: "What business?" Isn't it just a human flesh business? Shh ”

Finally got to the county office, smelled the fragrance of food, and looked at the gobbling victims, Ivan suddenly came to his senses, pursed his lips, and jumped to join the crowded victims.

"Be careful! Don't sprinkle it! Eat clean, don't waste it! While cooking for the victims, the officials shouted domineeringly: "This is all the county lord who looks up to you, you have to be grateful to Dade, you know?" The victims were all elated, and it was indeed a great favor to be able to give a full meal.

After a long time, it was finally Ivan's turn, and the official made half a bowl of porridge and handed it to Ivan one by one. Ivan couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Official, can you give me a few more steamed buns?"

"Hey!" The official put down the bowl and steamed bun and looked at Ivan: "Now these little beggars are really embarrassed?"

Ivan panicked and explained, "No, my father and my mother are sick, and I want to bring some back for them to eat."

"Sick? That's going to die? What else do dead people eat? The servant grabbed Ivan: "Go, little beggar, these are not your share!" It's unlucky! ”

The victims watched the excitement and talked a lot. Over there, Master Lu was having a headache and frowning. Hearing the commotion, he raised his head and shouted, "What's the noise?" You ......"

Looking towards the noisy place, I suddenly saw Ivan: his angry face was slightly red, although it was dirty, but a pair of eyes were watery and translucent, no powder but naturally beautiful, five black green silk lined with pale face, I really saw pity. Master Lu was suddenly overjoyed: This girl is good! It's sure to suit the lord's appetite! Seeing Ivan turn to leave, he hurriedly summoned the official behind him: "Go, call that little girl!"

"Hey"!

Ivan was about to go back when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a servant: "I didn't take anything, what else?"

"My lord called you over!" The official looked at Ivan, and he didn't have a good face.

"Strange!" Ivan was puzzled and asked, "I haven't broken any law, what did your official tell me to do?"

Like a prisoner, the official forcibly grabbed Ivan's sleeve: "Don't you know when you come over?" Helpless, Ivan had to go with him.

The official brought Ivan to Master Lu, and Master Lu greeted him with a smile: "Don't be afraid, girl, I'm Master Lu, I see that the girl hasn't eaten anything, what's the matter?"

It was the first time Ivan, a man from the government, had seen it, and he was a little scared. However, seeing Master Lu's kindness in his smile, he also calmed down: "Official, my family is in a grass hall not far away, my parents are sick, I heard that the official family wants to help poor people, so I want to bring some food back to them, but I didn't expect that the poor masters would bully me!"

"A dutiful man!" Master Lu praised: "Don't worry, our county government will never tolerate bullying the weak, and we will definitely give the girl an explanation!"

Ivan looked at Master Lu and was noncommittal.

"You said your parents were very sick?" Master Lu asked, "Have you invited a doctor for them?"

The family is poor, where can I afford to hire a doctor? Ivan shook his head. Master Lu was overjoyed: This girl is sure to be satisfied!

"Someone!" Master Lu called the official and ordered: "Go and bring some food to this girl!"

Ivan hadn't eaten enough for a long time, and the food sent by the official was fragrant, so he said a few thanks to Master Lu, and then took the food and feasted on it.

A gust of wind swept through the clouds, and Ivan burped contentedly, and his spirits improved a lot.

Since I came out in the morning, it has been half an hour, my parents are still sick at home, and Ivan is worried: "Thank you, master, I should go home, great kindness, I will definitely bring my father and mother to thank you another day!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, girl," Master Lu called Ivan: "Miss Fang Cai said that Gao Tang is sick at home, and there is no silver to ask for a doctor, so what can I do?"

Yes, go back now, there is no silver tael, it still doesn't help, Ivan stood there for a while, at a loss.

This girl is really in the trap! Master Lu said unhurriedly: "The girl might as well follow me, the county lord is a good official who loves the people like a son, and he will help the girl."

"But......" Ivan hesitated, "how can you trouble the official?"

"No trouble, no trouble," Master Lu smiled: "You can just come with me at ease."

He looked at the county ya, looked at the victims, thought for a moment, Ivan did not doubt him, and followed Master Lu into the county ya.

After walking for a while, he came to a wing room of the county office, and Ivan was a little puzzled: "Official, what are we doing here?"

Master Lu responded: "If you want to see the official master, the girl can't wear this dress, I have arranged for the maid in the yato to freshen up the girl, and then take the girl to see the master."

Ivan looked at his body, rags and rough clothes, it was true that he couldn't see people, nodded, and thought: The official family is indeed a good parent official.

changed into a light blue gauze skirt, and her hair was curled casually. As if washing away his exhaustion, Ivan was refreshed. When Master Lu saw Ivan after dressing up, his eyes couldn't help but shine: "The girl is really naturally beautiful, this dress is really a country and a city, and the concubine Xi Shi, I think it's nothing more than that!" And secretly admired himself: sure enough, he was not mistaken! This girl is pretty and gentle, but it's a pity that she is not blessed!

This boast, Ivan was embarrassed: "The official said that he laughed, if it weren't for his parents' illness, he really wouldn't dare to bother the official."

Zhou Guang was drinking stuffy tea in the hall, and when he saw Master Lu coming in, he pulled his face: "Master Lu, but you found it?"

"That's right, that's right," Master Lu smiled: "Master, it took a lot of effort for my subordinates to lead this girl into the trap!" Then, he told Zhou Guang what he had just done.

Zhou Guang suddenly couldn't wait: "Quick!" Call the girl in, and the county will see! ”

Led by the officials, Ivan came to the inner hall. Zhou Guang's style is extraordinary, and he can recognize him as the county lord at a glance: "Ivan, the people's girl, I have seen the official master!"

It's really a big beauty! Zhou Guang grinned happily, and smiled at Master Lu: "Miss Yi, this county just heard Master Lu say that Ling Zun is sick, it's really pitiful!"

"Master Xie cares." Seeing Zhou Guang, Ivan always felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't say it.

Zhou Guang got up and approached Ivan, sniffed the fragrance, and looked at Ivan with a smile: "Miss Yi, this county can't see the people suffering, and I have already explained to Master Lu, Ling Zun's illness will be treated by the best doctor in this county, and in addition, the relatives in this county have an inn where they can hire girls to help, and girls can also make a living."

"What?" Ivan thought he had misheard: "Official, are you really willing to let me help?" If you have a livelihood, you don't have to let your parents starve and freeze! ”

Zhou Guang took out a piece of silver and gave it to Ivan: "This is the salary, the county will pay you in advance first, and you are not allowed to regret it!"

Ivan took the silver with both hands: "As long as the official does not dislike me for being clumsy, I will do my best!"

"Well, that's good!" Zhou Guang nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you don't agree, then sign a document, or take it as a guarantee." On the side, Master Lu had already prepared the paperwork.

Ivan shook his head: "Since I was a child, my family was poor, I never studied, and I was illiterate."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhou Guang blinked, and Master Lu hurriedly handed over the paperwork: "As long as the girl presses a handprint, the content, the girl can rest assured, the real money has been handed over to the girl, can there be a fake?" Hearing what Master Lu said, Ivan pressed his handprint on the document and put his mind at ease.

Seeing that Ivan had pressed his handprint on the paperwork, Zhou Guang immediately ordered: "Master, since you have signed the paperwork, hurry up and arrange for someone to send the girl to the inn!"

"Now?" Ivan was surprised: "Is it going to pass today?" In such a hurry? ”

"Not in a hurry, not in a hurry!" Zhou Guang explained: "Because there have been a lot of strange people in Fanbang recently, the inn is too busy, so the girl should hurry up and help." Ivan thought for a moment, and had to agree.

"Don't worry, girl," Zhou Guang urged. I watched Ivan leave with the servant.

Master Lu smiled and bowed his head to Zhou Guang: "Master, how is this girl?"

"What a beauty!" Zhou Guang stroked his beard: "Master Lu, things are doing well!" This girl will definitely sell for a good price! You'll be indispensable when the time comes! ”

Master Lu's beautiful pestle was distracted there, and Zhou Guang kicked it up: "Why don't you follow quickly?" Go and arrange it, don't negotiate the price with Aunt Hua, ask for cash, go quickly! ”

"Good, good!" Master Lu responded in a panic and followed out of the inner hall.
