There was only one snow in the whole winter, no rain in the spring, and the north was hit by drought one after another, and the displaced people were displaced, so in order to survive, they had to go far away, digging vegetables and grazing along the way to satisfy their hunger, or passing through the city, begging along the streets.

In February, outside the southernmost city of Anyang, Hebei, displaced people began to appear.

Yi Yu lived in the house to have a safe baby, food and accommodation were waited for, and the door did not go out of the second door, so he did not know the hunger and cold outside, until Pingtong was injured and carried back, he did not know that the situation was serious.

In the bedroom, Pingtong, who was in a semi-coma, was lying flat on the bed, the wound on his head had just been wrapped in medicine, and the layers of white gauze were faintly stained with blood, and it looked like the injury was not light.

Pinghui dealt with Mrs. County Ling in the flower hall, otherwise she would not be able to shed tears when she saw her sister like this.

Originally, if the Lu family was here, it would not have been passed on to the left jade to let her worry about it first, but it happened that today the Lu family went to the Taoist temple to ask for a charm, and was not at home, Pingxia ran back from outside, and went to find the left jade without thinking too much.

Imperial Physician Li put away the medicine box, turned his head and waved his hand to the Yu Yu sitting at the table:

"Princess Qiyu, Miss Pingtong's wound has been bandaged, be careful not to get wet, and it will be fine to recuperate for a while."

Under Li Tai's arrangement, Imperial Physician Li left the Imperial Medical Office last autumn, and went to Hebei with Yi Yu at the end of the year, and is now living in a partial courtyard in case of emergency.

Yi Yu nodded, "You go down and write the recipe first." ”

"Yes."

After Imperial Physician Li left, Yu Fang withdrew his gaze from Ping Tong on the bed, turned to Ping Xia, who was standing with her head bowed as if she was standing on the side, and saw that she was frightened and not easy to lose her temper, and said softly:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Pingxia didn't dare to hide, her eyes were swollen and crying, and she said:

"Yes, it's more than half a month ago, the slave maid and Sister Pingtong took people out to buy, and found that there were suddenly a lot of begging flowers on the street, and met a pair of little sisters on the corner of Nagato Street, the older one was just ten years old, and the younger one was only seven years old, dressed in tatters, dry and thin, unable to get food, and was kicked and beaten by pedestrians passing by, the slave and maid looked strange and pitiful, just-"

Speaking of this, tears flashed in Pingxia's eyes:

"I remembered that my hometown was hit by a disaster, and the days when the villagers left their hometowns to beg together, they also came like this, and the slave maid took Sister Pingtong and bought some cakes to help them. Later, the slave maid and Sister Pingtong went to see them every once in a while, and today we brought some porridge and thought about sending it to them to drink. ”

When Yi Yu heard this, he had a score in his heart, no wonder there were so many beggars in Anyang City, you must know that although it is far less prosperous than Chang'an, it is also a big city, and there is only a lack of the latter two things for eating, drinking and playing.

It turned out that there was a drought in the north, and there was an influx of displaced people.

"You are going to help people, then why did Pingtong hurt her head, the wound on the top of her head was beaten with a hard object, you tell clearly, what's going on here?"

Speaking of the key, Pingxia showed anger on her face:

"It's not those scoundrels in the city, they say that these outsiders are stealing things indiscriminately, dirty streets, these two days in groups of gangs everywhere with sticks to pick people out of the city, running fast, are hiding, running slow will be beaten badly, they are caught and sent to the outside of the city, Xiaocao and Xiaoya are still young, these days were too scared to go outside, just and a group of victims hid in the broken courtyard outside the river in the south of the city, slaves and maids and Pingtong sister looked for the past, happened to meet a group of scoundrels who came to arrest people, Pingtong sister is to protect Xiaohua, was beaten to the head, and in the end, the person was still captured by them. ”

Yu Yu couldn't help but blame, "Since you see that they are evil, why don't you report the name of the house as soon as possible, and let them beat them in vain?" ”

Pingxia hurriedly explained:

"You don't know, they rushed in and arrested and beat people, didn't listen to people at all, and scared us that if we were nosy, we would arrest them together, and the slave helped Sister Pingtong out, and she fainted, or met kind passers-by to help send them back."

Hearing this, Yu Yu's face sank, and in the past, she was beaten by a group of street scoundrels who were close to the princess, which was unimaginable, but it just happened, and pulled out a group of fleeing victims, making it difficult for her to calm things down.

"Master," Pingxia saw that Yu Yu didn't speak, bit her mouth, knelt down with a puff, and said bitterly:

"Master, the slave and maid know that Sister Pingtong is to blame the slave and maid for all the injuries, but the children of Xiaocao Xiaoya, if they are just caught by them like this, they don't know whether they are dead or alive, the slave and maid can't speak, please ask the master to be benevolent and save them."

This is the way of the world, someone raised a dog that was beaten to death on the side of the street, and there are still people who go to the yamen to file a complaint, but the displaced people die on the way, and no one will redress their grievances, in other words, from the moment they leave their homeland, their lives are not fate.

Yi Yu sympathized with these victims, but she thought more far-reaching, listening to Pingxia said, the scoundrels in the city said that it was because the foreign population stole things indiscriminately and dirty the streets that they arrested and drove people out, but when did the security in the city need to be maintained by a group of scoundrels?

It can be seen that they are just looking for an excuse to make things easier.

This group of scoundrels obviously did not gather out of thin air, and they knew by looking at their appearance that they were organized and had leaders, but what good would it do them to just drive out the homeless? It's worth their painstaking efforts, and even clever names.

Now suspicious, of course Yu Yu will not just leave it alone, and raised his hand to Pingxia and said:

"You get up first, go outside and call Yu Tong, and ask him to invite Sun Dianjun to come over quickly."

When Pingxia heard this, she knew that Yi Yu would not stand idly by, and when she was happy, she kowtowed to Yu Yu gratefully:

"Thank you, master, thank you, master."

With that, he picked up his skirt and ran out.

Yi Yu picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip in her mouth, this is a kind of golden flower leaf that she likes after coming to Anyang, it is said that the big teahouse in the city carefully picked it up, and found the way to the governor's mansion, so it was specially sent to her.

The taste of the tea is slightly sweet and sour, which is in line with the taste of pregnant women, but after listening to Pingxia tell about the experience of the victims, and then tasting this expensive tea, it is not so tasteful.

Sun Leifang came out of the lecture in the other courtyard, returned to the governor's mansion with his front foot, and was found by Yu Tong with his back foot.

When I came to the relic jade again, it was only half an hour.

Yi Yu asked Ping Xia to tell him what had happened, and after Sun Lei heard it, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked Yu Yu:

"What does the princess mean, but let her subordinates send someone to bring those two little girls back?"

When Yi Yu noticed his words, she said the word "belt" instead of "find", although it was only a word difference, but it made her smell the unusual smell sensitively.

"I want you to find people back, but the city is so big, and there are many scoundrels, I'm afraid that they will be driven out of the city and then exiled to other places, so it's not easy to find people."

Seeing her sad face, Sun Lei said:

"Don't worry, the princess, the person was only arrested today, and he won't be sent away for a while, you need to give an order, and your subordinates will send someone to find it."

"Send away?" Yi Yu grabbed him again, and didn't let it go this time, "Where to send it, aren't you going to drive it out of the city, why I listened to you, they seem to have other arrangements." ”

Sun Lei realized that he had said the wrong thing at this time, his face showed a slight pale, and he quickly looked up at the deaf and clear-eyed woman in front of him, lowered his head and said:

"Where else can you send it, isn't it just to send people out of the city and drive people away, you think too much, there are victims every year, but this time it happens to be for you to meet."

He wanted to bypass this matter with a sloppy eye, but as soon as the words fell, he heard a cold snort, and then looked up, the kind eyebrow and kind-eyed man just now had a cold face:

"Hmph, you and I are an ignorant woman in the mansion, can you be fooled casually, I asked you one, but you answered five with me, Sun Lei, you are so bold"

It was rare to see Yi Yufa angry, Pingxia was so frightened that she almost hit the teapot in her hand, and she trembled, so she knelt down, but her mind was confused, and she didn't know why her master was angry.

"The princess is angry."

Sun Lei is the first time to see her lose her temper, all along, explaining the history of the war with her, she is listening quietly, asking questions when curious, perhaps because she is pregnant, gentle, and often smiling to welcome people, how can there be such a domineering time.

Even if he was used to seeing the wind and waves, he couldn't help but be slightly frightened, and his thoughts turned around, just as if she had heard something, and in desperation, he had to bow down and confess:

"The princess is angry, her subordinates didn't deliberately conceal it, it's just that this matter is filthy, and it will inevitably hurt your ears and eyes if you say it, not to mention, the big and small things in Anyang City are not accumulated in a day, and you can't manage them."

Before this noble man moved here, he received a letter from Beijing, and the steward Li of the Wei Palace's mansion specially reminded him that the hostess of the mansion was righteous, so he was nosy, and told him to pay attention to what was not clean in this Anyang City, and it should not be passed on to her ears.

Sun Lei was also out of this consideration, so he was vague, not wanting to be discovered by the relics and deceived him.

Seeing that he admitted, Yu Yu's face turned slightly pale:

"Since I ask you, your honest answer is, as for whether I care about it or not, it depends on what the situation is, let me ask you first, is that group of scoundrels going to take the victims of the disaster, do they want to drive them out of the city, or do they have another arrangement?"

The pregnant woman is the largest, and it is the wife of his top boss, Sun Lei can't, so he has to answer truthfully:

"They do have other plans."

After being proven to guess, Yu Yu's eyelids jumped, "You tell me honestly, where will they go?" What happened? ”

Sun Lei hesitated for a moment, his face was cloudy and cloudy, and finally he seemed to let go of his burden, smiled bitterly, and broke the jar and said:

"Wherever else can I go, those whose legs and feet are still there, are forced to sign a cheap deed of sale, sent to the woodyard or the mountains to do hard labor, and when they get sick and die, they are buried directly in the deserted graves in the mountains and forests. As for the better-looking women, they were all washed and sold into the building, even if they were lucky enough to escape, once they were caught, the end would only be more miserable, in short, once they were caught, no one would regard them as human beings anymore. ”

Hearing this blunt remark, Pingxia covered her mouth in shock and couldn't make a sound.

Hearing that the foreign victims were treated like this, Yu Yu's heart sank, and he pinched the fingers of the handkerchief tightly, but he was already angry, and wanted to ask why no one cared, Sun Lei noticed something, hid the unbearable and hatred in his eyes, and pretended to be indifferent:

"With all due respect, this kind of thing is not only in our Anyang City, and it is not strange if you are used to it."

Yi Yu closed his eyes, stuffed the wrinkled handkerchief in his hand into his sleeve, raised his hand to pick up the teacup, and wanted to take a sip of good air, but his eyes were all floating in the cup, and it was only a leaf for one or two silvers.

“... Do you know who are the people who benefit from this? ”。.。
