It took a long time for Cheng Yanluo to open his eyes.

The sincerity in Qin Yi's eyes made her a little stunned.

Qin Yi's apology also made Cheng Yanluo a little overwhelmed.

After a few more moments, she said, "I...... You don't have to apologize to me, there are some truths that everyone understands, but when it comes to things, many people can't help it, the situation just now is really a little too miserable, you have a good heart, it is inevitable that you can't look past it, and it is inevitable that you will want to help them, you are like this, it is better than many people turning a blind eye and being cold-blooded and ruthless, it's just that many things have to have a degree, you want to help them right, but you also have to pay attention to methods, and you can't always involve ourselves because of helping them. ”

"Hmm."

Qin Yi nodded heavily.

He didn't understand what Cheng Yanluo said.

It's just that along the way, the impact of those victims on him is too great.

Seeing many people lying dead on the side of the road, his conscience was constantly condemned, so that he could not get over it in his heart, and then he did stupid things.

Cheng Yanluo fell silent after saying that.

Qin Yi felt very uncomfortable.

He moved a few more points towards Cheng Yanluo, and saw that Cheng Yanluo still didn't have a smile on his face.

His heart was raised, and he was nervous, and his palms were sweaty.

"I ......"

Qin Yi wanted to speak, but there seemed to be something blocked in his throat, he swallowed the dry foam violently, and then let himself make a sound: "I won't be in the future, don't be angry, okay?" ”

Cheng Yanluo glanced at Qin Yi, and when he saw his pleading face, he also looked pitiful, and couldn't help but soften his heart.

"I don't blame you, when anyone doesn't do anything wrong, even saints will inevitably make mistakes, what's more, you're not wrong, it's just the environment, if so, if those victims are not in a desperate situation, we will help one or two, but now this situation is ...... It's easier said than done. ”

Qin Yi felt that his throat was even more blocked.

I had a lot of words in my heart, but I couldn't say them.

He was full of emotion, and when he looked at Cheng Yanluo, he only felt that she was the best person in the world.

It turned out that he had always thought that Cheng Yanluo was a willful and arrogant person to the extreme, and he was also a self-respecting person.

But now, he knew that what he had been thinking was wrong.

This girl looks willful on the surface, but she has an innocent and kind heart and the softest heart.

Her heart is really pure, but she has always been wrapped in a strong appearance.

She's not ego, she's so empathetic, but the environment in which she lives doesn't allow her to exist, and she has to be armed.

Qin Yi stroked his chest and felt some pain in his chest.

He was distressed in front of this young girl, but he didn't know what he had been through.

"How?" Cheng Yanluo raised his eyebrows and asked Qin Yi with a smile: "Why do you have such an expression, do you want to cry?" ”

Qin Yi also smiled: "I'm not so useless, such a thing won't make me cry." ”

He lifted the curtain and looked out the window again, and at this glance, he saw another victim lying on the side of the road because he had no strength to get up.

Qin Yi felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his voice became hoarse.

"I still say the same thing, that is, as a local official, I have to find a way to save more people, I will do my best to save one person is one person, otherwise, I will never forgive myself."

Cheng Yanluo didn't speak, and there was a smile on her lips.

She said in her heart, she is really a stubborn person.

However, his heart is really good.

The car moved forward slowly, and after two more days, it finally arrived at Shaozhou, the capital of Guangdong.

When he arrived at the yamen of the prefect of Shaozhou, Liu Feimao went to investigate, and when he came back, he told Qin Yi that the previous prefect had left, but he left some people in the yamen to handle affairs, and also left an official seal to wait for Qin Yi to take over.

Qin Yi rested for a day at an inn not far from the mansion, and asked Liu Feimao to inquire about the news, and went to the mansion early the next morning.

When he went, the people everywhere had already received the news, and they were all waiting outside the yamen.

Seeing Qin Yi, these people's eyes were full of shock, they probably didn't expect that the new prefect would be so young and so immature.

At the same time, they also had contempt, and there was a hint of joy in their eyes.

I probably thought that the prefect was young, or could be at their mercy, and when the time came, they could get more benefits.

Qin Yi secretly kept these eyes in his heart, he took the seal letter, and first learned about the inheritance of each room, as well as the arrest and cell head of the yamen.

After talking to each person, Qin Yi called Song Qi to his side and said to those people: "This is Mr. Song, and he will be the master of this mansion in the future, you have each seen it." ”

Those people all smiled and talked to Song Qi.

Song Qi had a smile on his face, and seemed to be warm and thoughtful with everyone, but in fact, what he said was to give these people a lot of cold dings, and also made these people realize that the new prefect was not easy to bluff.

After getting acquainted with it, Qin Yi read a few volumes of the archives and asked about the victims.

The official of the official room has the surname Shi, he is the oldest, and he has the most prestige in the government, and he is known as Shi Jingcheng.

This Shi Jingcheng stepped forward and said: "My lord, this is also no way, who told us that there is a drought in Guangdong this year, and it will not rain for a long time, and the crops in this field will not grow...... In addition, our Guangdong Province is mountainous, there is not so much land that can be cultivated, and it is a wild land, so it is naturally ......"

Qin Yi couldn't help frowning: "How many disaster victims have been seen in this mansion who can't eat their stomachs, and there are also many things about eating with children, haven't you and the previous prefect thought of a way?" ”

Shi Jingcheng smiled bitterly: "What can I think of, there are too many victims, and there is no relief from the court, and there is no way for us to break our scalps, so we can only sweep the snow in front of the house." ”

Qin Yi looked at Shi Jingcheng and smiled bitterly, but he looked relaxed, and knew that these people didn't care about the life and death of the people at all.

He was somewhat angry.

It's just that he took office, and he endured his anger.

He laughed: "In this way, the government will immediately go to the granary to check it, register the quantity of half grain, and then open the warehouse to release the grain." ”

"Don't ......"

This time, almost all of them stood up to stop Qin Yi.

Qin Yi's eyebrows raised: "Why not?" ”

Shi Jing Cheng worried: "My lord, there is not much food in the granary, it is not enough for those people to eat, and besides, the victims of the disaster are really, really hungry for a long time, if the warehouse is opened to release grain, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do that kind of thing of killing officials and stealing food." ”

Qin Yi asked again: "Didn't those wealthy families in Guangdong Province think about relieving the people?" ”

Liu Feimao walked to his side and whispered: "Those wealthy families are accumulating in Qiqi, and they don't let go of the amount of grain they don't know how much food they put at home, so they are waiting to raise the price of grain, where are they willing to help the people." ”

When he said this, Liu Feimao was also angry in his stomach.

He was scolding these rich people for being too poisonous, seeing so many people starving to death, but he had no pity at all, and even wanted to raise the price of food to make more money.

The more Qin Yi listened, the more angry he became.

"In this case, the government will send someone to check the food clearly before making a calculation."

Qin Yi didn't mention the matter of opening the warehouse to release grain, but sent Tie Zhu and a few other people to the granary to check the grain.

After sending people out, Qin Yi went to the back office.

At that time, Cheng Yanluo and Gao Xiuxiu had already taken their subordinates to arrange their things and clean up the house.

Qin Yi returned to the back office, just as the hot rice and hot dishes came out of the pot.

He sat at the table, looking at the food on the table, and he had no appetite at all.

Cheng Yanluo gnawed on the chicken leg heartlessly: "How?" Did the handover go smoothly? ”

Qin Yi shook his head: "I see that those scriptures are all those who have no one in their eyes, and they don't take me, the prefect, in their eyes at all, and ......."

He told the story of those rich families who kept their grain and didn't do it, and looked at the table full of dishes full of color and fragrance, Qin Yi said to Cheng Yanluo: "I want to open a warehouse and put grain." ”
