Ah Yue also sounded very novel.

"Xiaoman, Xiaoman, look at a lot of fun here, I've never seen it before."

Ah Yue casually picked up the orange red cake on a hawker stall, this orange red cake Ah Yue had heard of before, it was indeed a specialty of Jiangnan, wrapped in glutinous rice skin on the outside, and stuffed with cool mint leaves inside, it was cool and sweet to eat in the mouth, like the ice fruit in the summer well water, so that Ah Yue's whole person was happy.

Ah Yue hurriedly took out a little silver and asked the vendor to help him wrap these orange cakes.

The peddler was naturally very happy, and hurriedly wrapped a bag for this Ah Yue, Ah Yue took this pack of orange cakes and walked in front of Xiao Man, Xiao Man is a lady who is naturally inconvenient to eat on this street, but Ah Yue didn't care so much directly, picked up an orange cake, and stuffed it into Xiao Man's mouth.

Xiao Man tasted it in his mouth, and it was really sweet.

It seems that this Jiangnan style is indeed fascinating, and Lu Li felt a little strange when he saw this scene, so he asked Li Niang.

"Senior Liniang, didn't you say that you want to come to let us understand the people's feelings, Lu Li looked at the prosperity of Yangzhou City, which didn't look like a place of suffering at all, it seems that there is no problem with the governance of the emperor of Donglan Kingdom, I think the seniors are too worried."

Li Niang shook her head.

"It's too early for the general to say this, let's play in this Yangzhou City for a few days, and then you will know what I'm talking about."

Thinking that this Li Niang claimed to be a last resort, it may not be unreasonable, so Lu Li was not in a hurry, so he followed Xiao Man and A Yue to live in the inn, the four of them ate and drank, and lived for a few days, Lu Li felt that this was indeed a feng shui treasure, and when he and Xiao Man were old in the future, Lu Li wanted to find a place to live in seclusion with Xiao Man in the south of the Yanyu River, so as to avoid so many disturbances in Shangjing.

After waiting for a week, Lu Li obviously felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in Yangzhou City, Yangzhou City was lively in the past, but today Yangzhou City seems to be quiet, as if no one is hanging outside.

So he hurriedly went downstairs and asked the shopkeeper of the inn, only to see the shopkeeper with a sad face.

"What happened to the shopkeeper in Yangzhou City today, why is the atmosphere so wrong?"

Seeing Lu Li ask this, the shopkeeper naturally sighed.

"Guest officer, don't you know, several small villages and small towns near Yangzhou City have been flooded, and now the victims want to pour into Yangzhou City, but the officials in Yangzhou City refuse to open the door, and now they don't open the city gate, everyone is sealed inside, what do you say this business should do."

As soon as he heard that such a serious thing had happened, Lu Li frowned, he didn't expect that this river was about to lose so much and there would be a big flood again, the last time the refugees poured into Shangjing, this gave Lu Li a chance, and with all the wishes of the people, the emperor decided to take a good job of disaster relief.

This will no longer go to the capital, and I don't know what the emperor will do.

So he hurriedly asked the shopkeeper again.

"Shopkeeper, did the people from the Imperial City say how to solve this matter?"

The shopkeeper sighed again, and the whole person looked like a candle that was about to burn out.

"I also said that, the last time there was a big flood, thanks to General Lu in Shangjing, who helped the victims to petition, and then got the silver for disaster relief, but this time those officials were afraid that the victims of Yangzhou would imitate them to petition in Shangjing, so they have sent heavy troops to guard them at this time, and they will not be able to get out at all in Yangzhou, and the emperor does not know whether he knows the news of the flood now, and it is estimated that he is still happy in Shangjing."

These words made Lu Li's whole person angry when he heard this, he didn't expect these officials to be so cruel, trapping these victims in Yangzhou and not letting them go to Beijing to petition, so how could they inform the emperor of the news of the disaster.

"Aren't those officials going to tell the emperor what the current disaster is?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Li strangely, looking at Lu Li like this, he always felt that he was a little uncannibalistic, not like an ordinary person, but also looked at his generous shots, thinking that he should be some kind of rich foreigner.

"You don't know this, the scale of the flood in Yangzhou is too big now, if it is reported, the emperor will definitely ask the Ministry of Industry why it did not repair the river embankment, and then ask the Ministry of Households if it can allocate the silver for disaster relief."

The shopkeeper took a sip of tea, and seemed to know the bends and bends inside.

"The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry have to shirk their responsibilities on a regular basis, so they must not let the emperor know about this matter, only after a while, they told the emperor that there was only a small-scale flood, so that the emperor does not have to worry, only arbitrarily allocate some silver taels, these silver taels were embezzled by these officials again, and when the victims are all dead, dead, this matter will naturally be solved, and there is no need for the emperor to deal with it personally, I say so, do you understand?"

Lu Li clenched his fists tightly, he didn't expect that the interior of Donglan Kingdom would be corrupted to such an extent, only to see Liniang slowly coming down from the top of the stairs, with a variety of amorous appearances, which can make people take away people's souls at a glance.

The shopkeeper stared straight at Liniang's chest, saliva was about to flow down, Liniang looked at the shopkeeper with disgust, and the shopkeeper immediately put away his lustful eyes.

"What did I say, General Lu, Donglan Kingdom has become like this, but you still have to help that bastard emperor."

Lu Li sighed.

"Li Niang, this matter, it's just that the emperor doesn't know, it's those officials who blocked the news, if the emperor knew that he wouldn't do it."

Li Niang took out a handkerchief and covered her smile, lest she smile too exaggerated and lose her proportion.

"General Lu, do you really think that the emperor doesn't know these things, although they can trap the people in Yangzhou, but they can't trap this rumor, the reason why the emperor doesn't deal with these things is because he is troublesome, the treasury is not so full, even if he has the heart and the strength, it is better to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and he can't blame him for the trouble."

Hearing Li Niang say this, Lu Li was even more heartbroken, but at this time, it is the most important thing to solve the disaster victims.

"I'll go out of Yangzhou City first to see what the situation is outside."

So Lu Li rode out of the city, and when he heard that Lu Li was out of the city, Xiao Man naturally followed closely, lest Lu Li's temper come up later, and it would be bad if he had a conflict with the local officials, after all, if his face was discovered, it would cause an uproar.

When the two of them came to the outside of the city, they saw that the people outside the city were already living in poverty, and the victims were hungry without even a bite to eat, just like skin and bones, and their faces were dirty, as if they had been rolling in the mud.

Xiao Man looked at these victims, his nose was slightly sour, he didn't expect these people to live so hard, but the emperor who was far away in the sky didn't care, so how could they not be cold.

At this time, a group of officers and soldiers appeared at the gate of the city, and the leader was the prefect of Yangzhou City.

But he only condoled, but did not take any practical action, there was no rice and grain, these victims were probably tired of hearing his words of comfort, and they were not very willing to deal with him at this time, just blindly shouted hunger to the sky.

Lu Li frowned tightly, the prefect was so useless, what the hell was he doing here, so Lu Li rushed over directly, Xiao Man couldn't stop him, for some reason Xiao Man always felt that the figure of the prefect was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he was on his back, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't determine who he was.

I only saw Lu Li walking in front of this prefect in a menacing manner, but he was stupid when he saw his face, this prefect is not someone else, isn't this his friend Wei Xiuyuan.

Wei Xiuyuan was naturally very surprised, knowing that he had been in contact with Lu Li for all these years because he was sent to Yangzhou as an official, but a few days ago, he suddenly got the news that Lu Li had passed away, and his heart hurt like a knife.

He originally thought that when he was free, he would find an opportunity with Wanrou to go to Beijing to see Su Xiaoman, so that she would not be too sad, but he didn't expect Lu Li, who was resurrected here.

Wei Xiuyuan immediately rushed forward and hugged Lu Li.

"Lu Li, how did you come back to life! What the hell is going on! ”

Lu Li was also very emotional when he saw Wei Xiuyuan at this time, thinking that they had been separated for so long, and goodbye was actually under such a scene.

"It's a long story, Xiuyuan, are you the prefect of Yangzhou now?"

Wei Xiuyuan nodded.

"That's right, I'm the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, you must want to ask me why Yangzhou City has become like this, but I can't deal with it, right?"

Lu Li nodded, to say that he thought that the prefect of Yangzhou was a corrupt official and a person who usurped the people's money, so it caused the current predicament, but Lu Li didn't expect that the prefect of Yangzhou City was either someone else or his good brother Wei Xiuyuan.

Wei Xiuyuan is definitely not the kind of person who blocks the news and embezzles disaster relief money.

So at this moment, Lu Li also grabbed Wei Xiuyuan's arm very eagerly.

Xiuyuan, tell me what the hell is going on, why Yangzhou has become like this, but you don't organize disaster relief.

Wei Xiuyuan shook his head, it's not that he doesn't want to provide disaster relief, but he really has the heart and the power.

"As the prefect of Yangzhou, I have too many bosses above, and I want to report this matter to Emperor Jane, just to overcome many difficulties, and in the end, I am not detained by Lord Liu.

Wei Xiuyuan said distressedly.
