When He Yanxiu heard this, he ordered the guards to be sent to the nearby county seat after dawn.

The remaining injured guards were not seriously injured, and they simply treated their wounds, and still continued to follow the group.

After these were all disposed of, Su Yujin sat in the carriage and gasped.

On a hot day, there was a burst of coolness in my back, and even my hands were still trembling slightly.

Although she had seen such serious injuries before, and had seen such bloody scenes, today they had just experienced an assassination, and they felt a little like the rest of their lives.

And when she was treating the guard, because the time was urgent, and the light was insufficient, she could only rely on the light of the lantern torch, so she had to hold her breath and concentrate on coping.

If a string in my brain is too tight, when it relaxes, I will feel a headache because I was too nervous.

Su Yujin was also at this time, only rubbing his temples with his fingers, and taking some menthol oil to relieve it.

"When you're tired, go to the carriage and sleep for a while, I'll be outside on guard." He Yanxiu had the intention of letting Su Yujin lean on him to rest for a while, so that she could feel more at ease, but the raised hand finally fell after hesitating for a moment.

"I'm not sleepy this time." Su Yujin said, "It's okay, I'll just sit for a while, drink some tea later, and then it'll be fine, the second master will be busy with himself first." ”

When he encountered such a thing, He Yanxiu was bound to settle one or two, and he also needed to discuss with His Royal Highness the Third Highness about how to deal with it.

Seeing Su Yujin say this, He Yanxiu had no choice but to nod, "Then you stay for a while, and if you are tired, go and rest a little." ”

Then he ordered the guards to cheer up and stay by Su Yujin's side, and then went to the side to talk to the Third Highness.

"Do you have an eyebrow for today's events?" The Third Highness asked.

"Nope." He Yanxiu shook his head, "But it's about those few, it's not bad, it's just tonight, maybe there will be more in the future, you need to be cautious." ”

"There aren't many people coming this time, and the secret guards haven't been exposed, and the other party probably doesn't know much about our final details, and the next time I come back, I probably won't pay too much attention to it."

He Yanxiu smiled, "I hope they can come again." ”

If you can do it again and fail again, the other party's mind will probably be able to rest for a while.

And if they come again, they won't let them escape so easily.

He Yanxiu didn't point it out, but His Royal Highness understood, and nodded slightly, "That's the truth, it just depends on whether the other party has the guts." ”

"How far are we from Hong Zheng Mansion?"

He Yanxiu replied, "If you hurry up, there are still three days to go." ”

"Then we will travel day and night, and arrive as soon as possible." The Third Highness said.

Compared with the assassination and finding out the mastermind behind it, he was more concerned about the disaster situation in Hong Zhengfu's side.

"Yes." He Yanxiu responded, "I'll order you to go down, and hurry away as soon as dawn." ”

After a short rest, when the morning light was faint, the group began to set off again.

After half a day's journey, the scene gradually changed.

Although the wind and sun are still beautiful, the willows and flowers on both sides of the road are bright, and the ordinary summer scene is an ordinary scene, but the pedestrians on the road, among the ordinary people who are neatly dressed and walking, are mixed with many people who seem to be fleeing the famine.

They are all ragged and thin-skinned people.

Some dragged their families, some were alone, some were even unable to walk, kneeling on the ground and begging for alms, and some simply put straw sticks on the heads of their children......

And the further you go, the more such people there are.

It is not uncommon to see many people cooking along the road, but this so-called rice is nothing more than wild vegetables, leaves, grass roots, and other things picked on the roadside.

It was the first time for His Royal Highness to go out of the capital to help with such affairs, and it was also the first time to see the people's livelihood, at this time, seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, and asked He Yanxiu in a low voice, "The flood is so serious?" ”

Originally, he thought that the flood would only destroy the houses and farms under the flood, and only when the flood waters receded, he could rebuild his home and restore the peace it used to be.

He thought that the people would work hard for a while, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"Even if the flood waters recede, all the houses will collapse, most of the food in the homes will be flooded and washed away, and most of the fields will be flooded and there will be no harvest, and the people will have no food to eat and no houses to shelter from the cold, so they can only look for ways everywhere."

"And most of the floods are mixed with a lot of silt, and after the fields are covered with silt, they can no longer be cultivated for a long time.

"But when I went out, I had no food and money on my body, I could only eat wild vegetables and grass roots along the way, my body collapsed day by day, and people fell ill and starved to death on the way to escape the famine.

"First, the body is weak, the employer may not be willing to use, and the second is that there will be a large influx of people fleeing the famine, and the more people live less, the work will naturally become more and more difficult to obtain, plus the people who flee the famine have nothing to do at this time, and they are hungry to the limit, and it is extremely easy to do extreme things such as theft and robbery in order to have enough to eat, and many county towns and cities do not welcome a large number of people who have fled the famine."

"For many reasons, it also created the tragedy at this time, which is why the imperial court attaches great importance to the matter of floods, and allocates a large amount of money every year to build river embankments to prevent floods."

The impact of a flood is too great after all.

After listening to He Yanxiu's words, the third highness's brows furrowed higher and higher, "Father ordered us to come to check the flood situation, and even explained that the household department and the surrounding provinces allocated money and grain for disaster relief, when will the food used for these disaster relief arrive?" ”

"Grain allocation requires the approval of the Ministry of Household and the Emperor's holy decree, and disaster relief food is usually not allocated from one place, in order to prevent the food reserves in one place from being empty, unable to respond to disasters in time, such allocation, integration, and transportation, the time to arrive here is about ten days later than when we come here."

"So slow?" His Royal Highness's face was full of anxiety, "All the victims I saw along the way, almost all of them were crumbling and starving to death at any time, and if they could save many more people in the morning." ”

"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, I have ordered to go down and urge people to rush here, so that they must travel day and night to rush here." He Yanxiu paused and said, "There is just one more thing, I want to discuss it with His Royal Highness." ”

"Speak."

"I want to sell all the relief food I have allocated to grain merchants." He Yan cultivated.
