After the man finished speaking, he and the other two people walked towards the Lufu carriage, and Chen Qi and the others also followed.

"Old butler, why did you come here in person today. ”

The two young men driving the car stopped, and one of them jumped out of the car and helped out an old man from the car, who was recognized by the victims as the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion.

"The little old man is idle, and when he comes out for a walk, he just thinks it's a physical exercise. The old housekeeper of the Lu Mansion said with a smile.

"You go back and tell Master Lu that you don't have to come here to deliver food in the future. ”

The old butler asked, "Why?"

The man said, "These two sons have brought us a lot of food, which is enough for us to eat for a long time, so there is no need to trouble your old man." He pointed to Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan.

Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan saluted the housekeeper, "The younger generation has seen the old man. ”

The old housekeeper looked at Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan, stroked his beard under his chin, and nodded, "Very good, very good, heroic boy." ”

Chen Qi said: "Uncle has won the award, please inside!"

Chen Qi said and led the old housekeeper and everyone into the temple.

When he arrived in the courtyard, the old housekeeper saw the busy people in the courtyard and said in surprise: "You ...... Is this bringing all the people from outside here?"

"Yes, we plan to resettle all the victims who fled to Yunzhou here. Meng Xiaofan said excitedly.

The old housekeeper praised: "This is a great goodness, please accept the little old man's worship." ”

Chen Qi hurriedly held the old butler's arm and stopped him from saluting, "You are tormenting the juniors, you are still thinking about these disaster victims at such an old age, and you came here so far to bring food to them, it should be us who worship you." ”

The old housekeeper smiled and said, "That's it, let's not worship each other, Liuzi, give the food you brought to everyone to share." ”

"Yes. ”

The two men who came with the old butler went to distribute food to the victims under the guidance of the victims.

The old housekeeper looked around and sighed, "This Xingyun Temple has been abandoned for many years, and now it has finally come in handy. ”

"Uncle," Meng Xiaofan said, "Why is such a big temple abandoned?"

The old butler sighed, "That's a long story......

Chen Qi said: "Uncle, let's talk over there." ”

Chen Qi pointed to a stone table under a big tree not far away, and there were several stone benches around it.

The old housekeeper nodded, and then the three of them came to the stone table and sat down, and then said: "This Xingyun Temple was built by the previous dynasty, and the incense has always been very vigorous, but just five or six years ago, it was seized by the prefect of Yunzhou. ”

"Why did the Yunzhou prefect seal this place?" Meng Xiaofan asked.

"Because the monks in the temple have offended the prefect's brother-in-law. ”

Chen Qi said: "The prefect of Yunzhou at that time was also Li Zhixing. ”

The old housekeeper nodded, "Exactly, it is his brother-in-law Mu Zhe, Mu Zhe relied on his brother-in-law to be the prefect of Yunzhou, and he did all kinds of evil in Yunzhou City, and he was a famous villain. Immediately commanded his subordinates to beat the monk, the monk did not know him, so he fought back, as a result, he and his men were beaten by the monks, which completely annoyed this wicked man, returned to Yunzhou City to cry to his sister, his sister saw that his brother was wronged, and asked Li Zhixing to use the power of the government to vent his anger for his younger brother, but the government really sent people to Xingyun Temple to arrest people, and was blocked by the host. Later, they devised a plan to find a death row prisoner from the prison, this death row prisoner was a wanted prisoner by the imperial court, and after the Yunzhou Mansion caught it, they had not had time to report it, and they reached some kind of agreement with this death row prisoner. The death row prisoner hid himself in Xingyun Temple, and then Yunzhou Mansion sent someone to arrest this death row prisoner in the temple, and the death row prisoner insisted that he was friendly with the host of Xingyun Temple, and it was the host who took him in, just like that, the host was arrested, the monk was dismissed, the temple was sealed, and Xingyun Temple was defeated. ”

"Damn, I knew I ...... last night"

"Uncle tell us about this Yunzhou prefect again. Chen Qi glared at Meng Xiaofan and interrupted him, Meng Xiaofan stuck out his tongue and stopped making a sound.

"The prefect Li Zhixing came to Yunzhou more than 20 years ago, when he first arrived in office, it was different from now, at that time he was a good official, the whole Yunzhou was prosperous under his governance, but people will change, Li Zhixing is like this, he slowly became greedy, selfish desires swelled, especially he connived at his brother-in-law and son's evil deeds over the years, so that the people of Yunzhou City complained. ”

"So he doesn't have anyone to report it?"

"Of course there were, but in the end it didn't work. ”

The old housekeeper looked at Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan and shook his head, "Little Lao'er is also unhappy when he says this to the two sons. ”

Chen Qi said: "Is it because of the porridge shed at the city gate?"

The old housekeeper nodded, "Exactly, my lord has done good deeds all his life, the fleeing victims just arrived in Yunzhou City, he set up a porridge shed outside the city, and then there were more victims, and several other good people followed to respond, but within a few days, it was taken away by the prefect's house. ”

Meng Xiaofan said with a smile: "Don't be angry, the shed is Chen Qi's now, but he bought it for fifty taels of silver." ”

The old housekeeper looked at Chen Qi in confusion, and Chen Qi explained: "I passed by there yesterday, and I thought about using this shed to relieve the victims, so I bought it from those people by the way. ”

"They took the shed built by the little old man and pit the son for fifty taels of silver, it's really hateful!"

Chen Qi comforted: "Uncle don't be angry, they won't end well." ”

"Yes, yes," Meng Xiaofan said, "They cheated my brother for fifty taels of silver, and I must get it back." ”

The old butler said, "You have to be careful, these people are not so easy to provoke. ”

Chen Qi said: "Don't worry, they can't help us." ”

"Also, since you dare to settle so many disaster victims here, you should have the ability, but Xiao Lao'er still has to remind the two sons that everything must be careful, they didn't let us set up porridge sheds at the beginning, just to facilitate these disaster victims to go to the canal construction site to work, and now that you have brought people here, they will definitely not give up." They can't help you, but they will attack these victims, so they have to guard against it. ”

"Thank you for the reminder. ”

"Hey~" The old housekeeper sighed: "We are doing these expedient measures, the key is how to let these victims return to their home gardens, let them catch up with the autumn planting, this is the solution, now they are displaced, the arable land is wasted, and there is still no food in the coming year." ”

Chen Qi said: "I have decided to wait for the affairs here to be stable, and then go to the capital to find a way to let the imperial court send people to continue disaster relief." ”

"Someone you know in the capital?"

"No, but I think there's always a way. ”

"It's hard to get into the yamen!"

"Uncle is too pessimistic, I don't think the officials in the court will be like Li Zhixing. ”

"Yes, then I wish Chen Gongzi success!"

"Uncle," Meng Xiaofan pointed to himself, "and me, I took him to the capital." ”

The old housekeeper smiled: "Then I wish the two sons success!"

Meng Xiaofan nodded with satisfaction, "We will definitely succeed!"

The old butler and Chen Qi laughed.

"Chen Gongzi, it's not good, something happened......

The three of them were chatting happily, and suddenly one of the victims shouted loudly while running towards Chen Qi.

Chen Qi stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

The victim said: "A group of people went to the porridge shed to make trouble and beat Ah Niu. ”

When Chen Qi heard this, he saluted the old housekeeper, "Thank you for your advice, Chen Qi has taken a step in advance, Xiaofan, you stay here first to prevent them from making trouble here." ”

Meng Xiaofan nodded, and the old housekeeper said, "Chen Gongzi be careful!"

"Don't worry, uncle!"

The victim said, "Chen Gongzi, I grabbed a horse when I came, you can ride it quickly." ”

Chen Qi nodded and flew out of Xingyun Temple.
