In fact, this steward was already afraid of death in his heart.

I'm afraid that these people will sail on the boat and run away.

Whether it is running forward or falling backwards, this person in charge is afraid.

So he came to this Jiangyuan for a few days, stretched his neck on the dock, and waited for a few days.

The more you wait, the cooler it gets.

Now that the flood disaster is serious, he is also afraid that these Lang Jun will not have good driving skills, so something will happen on the river.

According to common sense, the boat is running normally on the river, but it can actually arrive in seven or eight days.

But they walked for twelve days!

It can be seen how difficult it is to walk on the river on this rainy day.

But fortunately, when he arrives, he can let go of this heart, and he can quickly get on the boat and hide for a while.

Jiang Wancheng and the others had already packed up, and they couldn't wait to get off the boat.

The two sides handed over smoothly, and Jiang Wancheng and they led the carriage and horses down the dock.

When they arrived on the shore, the four girls had just gotten into the carriage, and Wen Chaoyan and they had also loaded all the boxes into the carriage, and when they were about to leave the noisy and chaotic place, the steward in charge of the boat suddenly chased them down and called out to them: "Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute—"

The steward made his way through the crowd and panted as he approached them.

It seems that he wants to make friends with these big guest officers who are generous, so he is very friendly and wants to remind them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I see that you have so much luggage and female dependents, you must quickly find a reliable place to settle down. Also, it's best not to leave Jiangyuan County for the time being. ”

"You have heard from the little ones that now all the villages and towns on both sides of the Li River, as well as in the Jiangyuan area, have suffered disasters. I heard that many villages were flooded, and few people came out alive, which is really miserable! ”

"Now all the power of the imperial court that can be used around has been sent to fight the flood, but what's the use? Jiangyuan has not had such a big disaster for decades, and the entire county is also embarrassed! ”

"Don't look at the rain now, but I don't know when it will rain again!"

"Also, don't look at Jiangyuan County now, it's because of the special topography of Jiangyuan County, so there will be no flooding here, and every time there is a heavy rain, the flowing rainwater can quickly flow into the surrounding rivers!"

"So there are no floods in the whole county yet, but there are already countless people in the vicinity who have migrated here. Natural disasters are disasters, and man-made disasters will also be disasters. ”

"Don't look at the peace today, but I guess this county won't be too peaceful for a few days."

"But it's better than leaving here now, going outside and suffering in the floods."

"It's like a small one, it was fine when I came, but now I can't go back!"

Shaking his head, the steward left.

Wen Chaoyan and Gu Tingzhou glanced at them, and everyone didn't speak, but quickly left the dock first.

When entering the city, it is natural to hand in the road guide and bodyguard paperwork.

Originally, they thought that they would be subjected to a strict investigation, so they prepared a bag of broken silver, and even worse.

Unexpectedly, when the soldiers guarding the city gate touched the silver bags, they easily put them in.

I didn't even look at the big wooden boxes that were shining.

The reason may be that their group not only looked clean and tidy, but also had carriages and horses, and at first glance they thought that they should be wealthy families, not refugees who had fled here.

On the other side, there was a long line, and the ordinary people covered in mud were not released into the city.

Jiang Wancheng lifted the curtain and looked back.

These refugees are men and women, young and old.

Some are single, some are dragging their families.

But all of the children were screaming 'wow' from hunger.

The old people were all gray and numb, most of them were on crutches, and they looked sick.

And those young people who carried the only belongings on their shoulders were all dead and blank.

I don't know how many, he was the only one in his family who survived by escaping......

Visually inspecting the refugees at the city gate, there are at least 200 people.

Most of the refugees sat in the open space.

There are also those who are unwilling, who have been standing at the gate of the city, lining up in an orderly manner to go in and beg for food and drink.

But the gates of the city were not opened to them.

They were not noisy or noisy, and kept quiet, which surprised Jiang Wancheng and them.

"Sister, they're so pitiful."

Sister Ya'er opened the window of the car, looked outside with Jiang Wancheng, and saw the pitiful appearance of those refugees, she was full of sympathy.

Jiang Wancheng touched her head: "We will help them." ”

Lin Xueyan: "I heard that the Taishou and Lord Thorn Shi of Jiangyuan County can be called good officials. On weekdays, he is approachable to the people, and he is never ambiguous when he judges the case, and he also has construction for counties and counties, and he is an honest and honest official. ”

"So, maybe these refugees believe that the government will solve their predicament, so they don't make trouble for the time being."

Jiang Wancheng shook his head.

Sneered in my heart: This is not a good thing!

In her previous life, she also learned about this in the backyard of Duanwang's Mansion.

Although this Taishou is now pretending to be a good official, she knows that in just three years, this Taishou will be found out, and he embezzled and swallowed three layers of disaster relief materials in this natural disaster!

There were about 60,000 taels of silver, and 6,000 stone of grain.

And what he has embezzled over the years is naturally more than that.

The harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on weekdays were not all paid to the DPRK, and I privately did not know how much I had swallowed, and the annual report was not good, but in fact, I was full of private pockets every year.

In the end, it is natural to be imprisoned for a felony and beheaded and robbed of his home!

However, Jiang Wancheng couldn't tell everyone this, she only said: "In any case, people's hearts are unpredictable, and they still have to be inspected before they can make a move." ”

When we were on board, we had thought about all the situations we would encounter and were well prepared.

So as soon as I entered the city, I first temporarily found a place to stay, a deserted and remote pavilion.

Then Gu Tingzhou and Cui Jinzhi went to find their old acquaintances in the city.

Gu Tingzhou roamed the rivers and lakes early, and later after establishing the dart game, he still had to go south and north, so the people he got acquainted with were naturally everywhere, and they were all familiar with each other.

Jiang Wancheng and the others stayed at ease.

Wen Chaoyan went out.

Li Yan stayed behind to protect the girl's child, as well as to guard the silent centurion who was left in the corner.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wen Chaoyan returned.

He carried a large basket in his hand.

As soon as I opened it, it was full of steamed buns and some braised pork.

He also filled all the water bladders he was carrying.

"Let's eat first."

There will be a gazebo here, so it is indeed more convenient to eat so easily.

Moreover, everyone has just seen so many refugees at the city gates, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with seeing that they themselves can still have a hot mouthful of food.

He put all the food on the stone table and ate silently.

Only Wen Chaoyan walked up to the centurion with a big meat bun, squatted down and handed it to him.

"Eat." (End of chapter)
