Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Victims

Qian Fu saw that he was a guest of the young lady, so he hurriedly looked out, quickly opened the door to let a few people in, and when a few people entered the house, he immediately closed the door.

"Please wait a few more, Rong Lao Nu will go and tell Miss to ask a few more people to come in." Gong Jueyi is not a person who does not understand etiquette, and when he heard this, he asked everyone to wait in place first.

The long bridge in the lotus pond has been flooded, and the only way to get to the backyard on the other side is to row a boat.

Hearing that Gong Jueyi and a few people were coming, Erya nodded and asked them to come over.

Qian Fu looked at Tonghua Pavilion in surprise, and he once again felt that his young lady was definitely not an ordinary woman.

Gong Jueyi and the others had just arrived in the backyard, and they were also surprised by the strange mud around here, and after a few glances, Gong Jueyi understood what it was for, and couldn't help but secretly praise it.

A few people hurried into the courtyard, and Mama Feng led a few people into the hall.

"Where have you been, and what's going on outside?" Seeing the appearance of a few people, the second girl hurriedly inquired about what was going on outside.

She wrote a letter a few days ago to ask the shopkeeper of Fuxing Building to come to Lin'an, but now there is no news, so she can't help but worry.

"It's not good, the floods are menacing, and all places are caught off guard, especially in Qingping County." Gong Jueyi was silent for a few seconds.

Hearing this, Erya sighed in her heart, most of her net worth is on Fuxing Building, and this house still owes money.

The second girl was out of her mind, and Gong Jueyi had already taken Gong Xuanchi and the others to Zihua Pavilion. Erya opened her mouth to say something, but she still didn't say anything.

Zihua Pavilion

Several people in the Zihua Pavilion had heavy faces, and finally Gong Xuanchi spoke: "Now Qingping County has been seriously affected, and several counties around Qingping County have been affected to varying degrees, the top priority is to return to the capital first, and the ninth brother is in charge of the country, and he must not know what to do at this moment."

"I want to direct the disaster relief in Qingping County." Gong Jueyi hesitated.

Gong Xuanchi saw his hesitation, "Your Majesty, now the people in the court are definitely panicking, and I ask the emperor to return to the court to preside over government affairs!" Gong Xuanchi just wanted to tell him that as a king, he must have the consciousness of a king, and at this time, he is still tied to the love of his children, so he is not worthy of being the king of a country!

Sure enough, Gong Jueyi's face changed, and anger suddenly rose in his eyes, but he didn't hide it.

After a stalemate for a long time, Gong Jueyi finally spoke: "That's it, I'll go back to Beijing overnight tonight, you stay here and escort Lu Mingfeng into Beijing!"

Before the words fell, there was a lot of noise outside, and several people looked bad, afraid that something was wrong.

"Miss, Miss, it's not good, some homeless people are calling these rich families to release grain to save the people, otherwise they will rush in and kill us!" Qian Fu's voice trembled, and he panted because he was running too fast.

The second girl sitting on the main seat stood up, "Mama Feng, Lu Zhong, and the eight brothers of the Lu family are all coming with me!" ”

"Miss, what about us?" Yuzhu thought that the young lady was going to leave them and run away, and asked uneasily.

"Naturally, you are here to take care of the two young ladies!" Erya was more and more dissatisfied with this Yuzhu, but she didn't bother with her, and took a few people to the front yard.

The eight brothers of the Lu family are the eight strong men that Erya bought back from the slave market, and they have a good relationship, so the house calls them so.

"Open the door, open the door!"

"If we don't open the door again, we're welcome!"

"That's right! Open the door! ”

Before they got closer, the sound of banging on the door and shouting outside had already reached their ears, and the second girl who was walking in front frowned slightly.

"What's going on?" A magnetic man's voice sounded, Gong Jueyi walked quickly to Erya's side, and pinched Erya's hand imperceptibly, the soft and boneless hand was cold, and reflexively retracted it when it touched his hand.

"Big brother, disaster riots are often out of control, you pay attention to safety." Gong Xuanchi's tone was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened to Zihua Pavilion just now.

Gong Jueyi glanced at the frightening wind, and the frightening wind immediately leaned over and stood by.

"You take the three shadow guards to investigate outside, take this piece of warrant, and let the government open a warehouse to release grain to help the victims!"

Hearing this, Erya looked at Gong Jueyi, and her eyes were full of doubt. Gong Jueyi didn't explain, and asked the shadow guard to prepare the horses and set off an hour later.

"Feng Ming ......" Gong Jueyi looked at Erya, her eyes were full of reluctance and tenderness, she looked at the people around her, and stopped talking.

"You all stand down first." As soon as Erya's words came out, everyone avoided them with interest.

"Feng Ming, I have something important to go now, I really want to take you with me, but I know that you will definitely not go with me now, can you promise me to go to Beijing with my fourth brother in ten days."

Erya didn't answer, she was very hesitant to go to the capital now, and even vaguely blurred her feelings about Gong Jueyi. She had to admit that she was a very guarded person, and since that day she found Gong Jueyi sneaking to the back of the house to peek...... She was doubting Gong Jueyi's intentions.

"I can't promise you right away, I still have business to deal with, this flood has disrupted my plans, I don't know when these things will be stabilized, so I can't promise you."

"Is it about opening a restaurant? Wouldn't it be nice to open the restaurant to the capital, the capital is much bigger than Lin'an, and I can help you there, no matter what, doing business in the capital is definitely better than these places, isn't it? ”

"Okay."

Gong Jueyi didn't expect Erya to suddenly agree so refreshingly, and a smile appeared on her handsome face, but she felt more and more that she couldn't understand the woman in front of her, and the two didn't know what to say for a while, so they were silent, and the victims outside were still trying to make these rich people open the door, and the men's scolding, women and children's cries were endless.

"Master!"

After leaving a pillar of incense, Thunder returned to the Lu Mansion, looking at Gong Jueyi with a guilty look in his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"The government said that there was no food, and they really couldn't do anything, and their subordinates didn't know what to do."

"How can there be no food?! The grain harvest in the past few years has been very good, I ......" Gong Jueyi was so angry for a while that she almost missed her mouth and hurriedly stopped talking, but Erya listened to it word for word.

Seeing that Gong Jueyi didn't seem to want her to hear something, she turned around and walked towards Mama Feng and the others, "Qian Fu." ”

"Oh, Miss has something to ask!" Qian Fu limped forward and responded.

"The door must not be opened, and if we do, the situation will not be under control."

As soon as Erya finished speaking, a loud noise was heard, and not far away there were cries of women, children, and men mixed together, and the screams were mixed together, and the victims gathered at the gate seemed to be running east.

"Miss, this voice ...... It seems to be the movement of the Li Mansion next to it, so it shouldn't be the victims rushing in! ”

Mama Feng and Erya thought of one place at the same time, "Go get some guys and seal the door!" After speaking, Mama Feng looked at Erya, "Miss, you better go to the backyard, there is still a lotus pond, if those people really rush in, it will not be so easy to go to the backyard." ”

The noise of the Li Mansion next door is getting louder and louder, the Li Mansion is the prefect of Lin'an, and Erya has just heard from Gong Jueyi's subordinates that the government refuses to send food for disaster relief, and the victims will pour into their homes at this time, I don't know if there is a reason.
