Volume 1 Chapter 196 Arrived at Baohe County

"Kind-hearted people, please give me something to eat, please."

Seeing the carriage coming, a group of women knelt down in front of the carriage with their children in their arms, and the guards were very vigilant in holding the swords in their hands.

In a disaster year, if the victims of the disaster do not get what they want, it is not impossible for them to rise up and attack them.

"Xiao Wu, you go and talk to the officers and soldiers at the city gate, let us in first."

Xu Yunjin hardened his heart when he listened to the movement outside, there were so many of them, and the few carriages behind him were full of medicinal herbs and food.

If they show kindness at the gates of the city, they will be eaten by this group of victims.

Even if there are officers and soldiers to stop it, the consequences are not what Xu Yunjin wants to see.

All she can do is reduce casualties, and as for saving people, it seems that she can only wait until tomorrow.

"It's the county lord."

Xiao Wu is one of the seven people given by Yuan Xuan, and he usually follows Yuan San when he is not there.

The remaining seven guards are Yuan Xiaoliu to Yuan Xiaoxi, Yuan Eryuan San was originally the secret guard of the Yuan family, and it was the secret guard trained by the old Guogong for Yuen Long.

Later, Yuan Xuan went to the north, and Yuen Long gave the two to Yuan Xuan, and later Yuan San gave it to Xu Yunjin.

And Yuan Xiaowu's secret guards are Yuan Xuan's own henchmen, and the name is also very casual, Xu Yunjin feels that his senior brother also has the ability to name her.

"Good Samaritan, please, give me something to eat."

A woman knelt forward with the child in her arms, and Han Shaozhi sat in the car and felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"What are you doing?"

Pei Ran grabbed Han Shao's hand and looked at the oiled paper bag in his hand.

"They look so pitiful, don't we still have food to eat, just give them these."

Han Shaozhi was a little blindfolded when he was caught, and he looked at the carriage with a disapproving look and some doubts.

"You are stupid, there are so many of them, your few big cakes can't solve their problems at all, maybe they will be asked to grab things, and our little thing is not enough for them to stuff their teeth."

Pei Ran glanced at Han Shaozhi, and Han Shaozhi realized why they all looked indifferent.

Touching the tip of his nose, he said with some curtle:

"I don't know."

Pei Ran saw that he understood what he said, so he shook Han Shao away, which made him feel strange for a moment.

The people in the car did not move, and there were people outside the car with swords, and the people wanted to take a few steps forward, but they did not dare to risk their lives to gamble.

After a while, Xiao Wu came over with a few soldiers, one of whom should be the gatekeeper.

He was very tall and bearded, which made him look a little intimidating, and the people around him were obviously a little afraid of him.

Seeing him coming, he hurriedly stepped back, and the bearded man walked to the carriage and said in a voice that Xu Yunjin and a few people could hear:

"The last general has seen Lord Wenle."

Xu Yunjin lifted the curtain: "The general doesn't have to be polite, I wonder if he can take us into the city now?"

Xu Yunjin looked at the people on the side, who were now all gathered around the carriage, if they were allowed to enter the city, I was afraid that these people would take the opportunity to make trouble.

"The county lord doesn't have to worry, these people are not so bold, not to mention that there are no people in charge here."

As he spoke, the bearded man beckoned a few young soldiers around him, and after a while, a young man came over with a gray-haired old man.

"Old lady Fu, this is the county lord of Wenle, and they came to the disaster relief by the emperor's order.

The cart was not filled with food, but with medicine that would save your lives, and I would open the gate and take them into the city in a moment.

You must not take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble like yesterday, otherwise the county magistrate will not open the door tomorrow as he did today."

The beard is both soft and hard, mainly because he is afraid of repeating the chaos of yesterday.

It turned out that the atmosphere at the city gate was so tense because a good man from the city came out to give porridge yesterday, and the refugees wanted to rush into the city gate at this time.

The soldiers refused, and as a result, there was a clash between the two sides, and the last soldier was broken by the refugee and could not be saved.

In the end, it was the county magistrate Xia Zhengbo who ordered the arrest of a few of the most violent troublemakers, and only stopped after hitting the board on the spot, and the one who killed the soldier was also arrested and put in prison.

The people in the county don't dare to go out to give porridge easily, so none of these people at the city gate can eat hot food today.

This old lady Fu was a well-known good man in ten miles and eight towns before the snow disaster came, he could do things, and his family conditions were not bad, so everyone could listen to him.

It's just that yesterday's situation was too strange, and I inexplicably felt that someone was fanning the flames, but there were too many refugees to investigate.

"Is it really sent by the Holy God to save us? For the Holy One has not forgotten us, so I said that it will not be what they say, and the Holy One will not care whether we live or die."

Old lady Fu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes when she heard this, and saluted Xu Yunjin through the curtain of the car, and then took her grandson to explain to the people around the car in person.

As soon as they heard that this group of people was here to help the disaster, the people around them quickly got out of the way, and when the disaster came, the doctor was very precious.

And there are so many people here, all of them are more or less infected with wind and cold, if they don't take medicine again, I'm afraid they won't be far from death.

The people around dispersed, but a few men in the crowd glanced at each other, a flash of fierceness flashed in their eyes, and they wanted to step forward to make trouble, but in the end they retreated.

A few people thought that no one noticed their every move in the dark, but they didn't know that Xu Yunjin had long felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the people and officers and soldiers at the city gate.

Coupled with the words of the old lady just now, it is obvious that something else has happened in the past two days.

Could it be that someone is fanning the flames and taking the opportunity to make trouble?

Thinking of this, Xu Yunjin asked Xiao Yi to make a special observation of whether there were any suspicious people around.

Several people have been exposed but don't know it, Xu Yunjin doesn't know what the origin of these people is, whether they want to make profits for themselves, or who they have accepted and want to take the opportunity to make trouble?

Whatever the reason, she couldn't sit idly by, it seemed that tomorrow she would have to have people stare at them and see what they were up to.

The people dispersed, and the bearded man breathed a sigh of relief, and went into the city with the convoy, and as soon as the gates were closed, they saw a carriage coming towards them.

"The county lord is the county magistrate."

The bearded man walked to the front of the car and reminded him, Xu Yunjin lifted the curtain and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the car with a haggard face.

"Xia Zhengbo, the county commander of Baohe County, Xiaguan, has seen the county lord, the county lord has worked hard for disaster relief, please go to the residence with the lower official to rest for one night."

Xia Zhengbo's voice is a little hoarse, and it seems that he has been really tired recently.

"Lord Xia doesn't need to be polite, just find someone to send us to a place to live."

Xu Yunjin stepped out of the carriage and said to Xia Zhengbo, Xia Zhengbo looked at the too young girl in front of him and was stunned for a moment.

Then he came back to his senses, got into the carriage, and led the convoy to a small courtyard with three entrances.

"The county received volunteers early in the morning for disaster relief, but we don't know how many will come, so we will only pack up this house for the time being, and the county lord will see if there is enough place."

Xia Zhengbo introduced this house to Xu Yunjin, which was the home of the former county magistrate.

But he was caught up in the grain tax case, his house was raided, and the house was also confiscated by the government and not sold.

"It's okay, we're just staying here tonight and putting some things, I'm afraid we won't have time to stay in the house during the day."

Xia Zhengbo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was afraid that this Wenle County Lord was here to make trouble, so he was still breathing just now.

Now it seems that it is his villain's heart.

"Uncle Dou, let them move the things off the carriage, a few people will be crowded in one room first, Senior Brother Yang, you take them to count the medicinal herbs."

Xu Yunjin arranged in an orderly manner, and then went to the hall with Xia Zhengbo.

"Lord Xia, those refugees at the city gate..."

Xu Yunjin didn't know how to ask, and stopped in the middle of his words.

Hey, the county lord doesn't know, these are all houses collapsed, there is no food and no firewood, so they have to come to the gate of the city and station, so that there will be a kind person to give porridge and send something to keep out the cold."

Xia Zhengbo said with a sad face.

This year, it was cold early, and when I felt that something was wrong at first, the people in the village stocked up on grain and firewood.

No one in the city can buy firewood, and many large families even let their families go up the mountain to collect firewood, and everyone is prepared.

But no one expected that the weather would be so bad this year, with a few heavy snowfalls and a lot of houses collapsed. new

At first, there was still some food, and there was still firewood left, but then the food was gone, and the firewood was gone.

In order to survive, everyone had to dismantle all the tables, chairs, and benches at home and burn them.

In this way, from November last year to the end of the New Year, Xia Zhengbo continued to talk to Xu Yunjin about the situation in the county.
