"It's good to come back, no matter what time in the future, you will be by the side of the county lord." Luo Ning lightly interrupted Bai Ling's words, and whispered to Xiao Yue: "After eating, we will rest, we still have to hurry." ”

"Yes, the slave has thanked Miss." In the carriage, Xiao Yue kowtowed to Luo Ning, she can have a master like Luo Ning in this life, it is worth it for her to do anything!

Outside, Zhang Shun's voice came in, "County Lord, you can set off after you have rested." ”

"Well, let's go!" Luo Ning said lightly.

"Miss, in fact, Master Zhang already knew that it was the slave maid in the car, so he chose to rest here." Bai Ling said: "Lord Zhang is worried, and he has been around the neighborhood several times. ”

"I see." Luo Ning felt a little strange, it wasn't even noon, why did he stop to eat!

The next journey Zhang Shundu hurried quickly, because it was not far from the southwest border.

So Zhang Shun told everyone when he set off that he was going to go at night today.

It was also the only time they had walked at night in the past four or five days.

The next day, at dawn, they finally reached the southwestern border.

This is not yet the hardest-hit area, but the scene here still makes Luo Ning and them feel uncomfortable.

The originally prosperous county town was depressed and decadent at this time.

The fields outside the city were barren, but you could faintly see the trampling of the soldiers, and the streets of the city were rummaging around for food, and there were hungry children sleeping on the streets.

"County Lord, I can't see the victims along the way, and my subordinates think that Lord Rui arranged to bring them back to their hometown, why are they ...... here?"

"Fellow, the court is not a disaster, why are you ......" Bai Ling on the other side had already squatted down and asked softly to the old woman who was leaning weakly on the ground.

"No one came to help the disaster, and they all felt that we were far away from the center of the disaster area and had little impact, so they simply ignored us." The old woman wiped away her tears, looking at the big car behind Luo Ning, her eyes became brighter and brighter, but with a touch of tangled fear.

"Zhang Shun, you go to the local government to see what the situation is, and let the magistrate here come to see the county lord!" Luo Ning's eyes were cold, and he gave an order directly.

"Shire, county lord?" The old woman in front of Luo Ning and the other victims were frightened and excited when they heard this self-proclaim, and when they looked at the carriage behind Luo Ning, the light in their eyes became even worse.

It was the eyes of a wolf who had been hungry for a long time when he saw the meat, and he could pounce at any moment.

"Old man, there are only herbs in this car, and there is nothing to eat, if you don't believe it, I can have someone open it for you to see." Luo Ning whispered, and called a soldier to tell him to open the box.

The old woman looked at Luo Ning's side, shook her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, no need, the folk woman believes in the county lord, the folk woman is just too hungry." ”

Luo Ning listened to the voice, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, this voice, how long should it be that he hasn't drunk water?

Even if there is a famine, there shouldn't be no water!

"Bailing, bring water." Luo Ning turned his head to Bai Ling and ordered, and the latter immediately handed over the kettle.

"Old man, even if you don't have anything to eat, isn't there any water?" Luo Ning handed the water to the old woman and said softly, "Shouldn't there be a disaster relief team from the imperial court passing through here in the past two days?" ”

"No, no one has been here at all, and we shouldn't have been like this in the first place, we are all those who kill a thousand knives, and they come to us to grab it when they have nothing to eat."

"They have ruined the fields outside us! If you wait for the grain to ripen, you can hold on to next year! ”

"Those people not only grabbed food, but also polluted our well water a few days ago, they want our lives!"

"County Lord, please save us! Even if you don't save us, please help the children! Those people gathered around one after another and knelt directly in front of Luo Ning.

Luo Ning looked at the people kneeling in front of him, and felt very uncomfortable.

In her previous life, she had also been worshiped by the people, but those who were all brightly dressed and red-faced people had been so embarrassed and haggard!

"Get up! The disaster team should come to your side the day before the journey, and the county lord will find out about this matter! Luo Ning's eyebrows twisted slightly.

Ye Ruiming will never deliberately not pass through this side and let the victims here have nowhere to go, otherwise the matter will make a big fuss and stab Lou Zi, then he will have the reputation of a virtuous king!

This kind of thing of lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot is definitely not something Ye Ruiming would do!

What went wrong?

Luo Ning looked at the group of people in front of him, his face gradually sank, and not far away, Zhang Shun hurriedly ran over with a person.

The person who followed was also obviously vague in his footsteps, and he was almost speechless after running a short distance.

"Slow down, sir." The people who had just gotten up looked at the panting man, and they all gathered around him worriedly, and even reached out to help him, despite their own weakness.

"Ben, Ben, no, it's okay." The man gasped for breath and said that it was fine, but his hand was gripping the man very tightly, and it could be seen that he was really tired and panicked.

"This is ......" Luo Ning probably guessed the identity of the other party, but this dress made her a little confused and uncertain.

"County Lord, this is our county magistrate Lord Chen, the other officials in the yamen have all run away, and there are only adults and a few adults left." The old woman who spoke to Luo Ning at the beginning wiped her tears and whispered: "Your Excellency could have left here to enjoy your own happiness, but he still chose to stay, Lord Chen is a good official!" It's our blue sky master! ”

"No, no, the official is not that good." Chen Jue took a few deep breaths before he came to his senses, and said self-deprecatingly: "This official, if this official is Qingtian Lao, master, then he will not watch you suffer and suffer." ”

Chen Jue gently let go of the hand he was holding, saluted Luo Ning with both hands, took a deep breath, and said respectfully: "Chen Jue, the magistrate of Xiaguan Fengshou County, greets the county lord of Ning!" ”

"Lord Chen, please get up, what's the situation here?" Luo Ning helped Chen Jue and said, "Lord Rui!" According to the schedule, he should have arrived two or three days earlier than the lord of this county. ”

"This ......" Chen Jue was also a little dazed, but this dazed was more to Luo Ning, "Why did the county lord come here?" ”

Luo Ning was a little stunned by Chen Jue's words, isn't it normal for her to come here?

"The lord of this county is here along the road signs and maps!" Luo Ning said suspiciously: "Is there any problem?" ”

"County Lord, please move to the yamen and talk about it!" When Chen Jue spoke, he looked at the people around him again, pursed his lips, and said a little embarrassedly: "County Lord, do you still have anything to eat here?" Can you give some? Many of the people have not eaten anymore. ”

"We all eat dry food ourselves, where is there something for you! We are doctors, not food. ”

"Yes! You are pitiful, but we really don't have much food left. ”

"County Lord, our dry food won't last long, we can't divide it!"

"County Lord......"

"That's it! Don't say it, we came to the southwest to give disaster relief, if people are starving to death, do we have to heal the dead with medicine? ”

Luo Ning looked at the imperial doctors and soldiers and said, "As long as you can live, there are always more ways than difficulties!" ”

"County Lord, you still have to go to the hard-hit area to treat the sick and save people, keep the dry food for yourself! You can't let the doctor go hungry for our sake, in case ......"

Luo Ning raised his hand to stop Chen Jue's next words, and looked at Fei Peng.
