Chapter 667
On the way back, Ji Hai and Lu Anlang talked about the recent situation around Liancheng. Except for Daxi Village, it was better. There are so many rioters, although some rioters are afraid to act for the time being, but if things go on like this, there will be more rioters without food or drink.

Lu Anlang asked: "Then why can't we choose the government to come forward to appease instead of killing?"

Ji Hai shook his head helplessly, "The government is also powerless. Now that there is no food, no water, how easy is it to appease?"

Jiang Caiyue said: "If you don't have food, you can find a way. There are many people in the city who have food. You can borrow some food from the court. Make a note of who you borrowed from. It won't be too late until the next year's harvest. Although the water I'm nervous, but it's always enough to save up and cook porridge."

If you don’t pay it back, it’s the government’s business. I’ve never heard of borrowed grain being returned in the last days, but the people have a solid foundation in their hearts. As long as they have something to eat, who wants to be charged with rebellion? ?If they make a big fuss, they will be beaten and killed.

Ji Hai felt that what Jiang Caiyue said was reasonable, she could think of it, but the county magistrate couldn't?Maybe there is a real reason?Ji Hai didn't know what the county magistrate was thinking, so it wasn't easy to answer for a while.

When they came to Liancheng, there was still a gap in the city gate, which was just enough for oxen carts and horses to pass through. After everyone entered the city, the city gate was closed behind them, and the guarding soldier said: "Brother Ji, you guys came back pretty quickly. Yes, we don’t dare to keep the gate at any later date. In the next afternoon, there will be an order from above, and the city gate will not be opened casually when there is nothing to do in the future.”

Ji Haidao: "Oh, it's good to close it, lest one day there will be riots and the brothers guarding the gate will be in danger."

"Isn't it? It is said that a group of rioters entered Suqiu County yesterday. After entering the city, they not only robbed things, but also chopped up people when they saw them, and injured many people in the city. He was shot to death, and when the final count was made, the rioters were not counted, hundreds of civilians were killed and injured, and dozens of officers and soldiers died, it was really tragic."

Thinking of the riots incident earlier in the morning, everyone looked at Jiang Caiyue in unison. If it weren't for her magic medicine, many people would have died in Liancheng. No matter how badly they were injured, fortunately they all saved their lives, especially Lao Hu. Well, the old doctor Chen said that he couldn't be saved, and Ji Hai secretly shed tears a few times, but he was saved, so it's impossible to refuse.

With this patron saint, they will not be afraid even if they encounter rioters in the future. These days, human life is worthless, so they have to cherish it by themselves.

After sending Lu Anlang and Jiang Caiyue to Buzhuang, Ji Hai went in to see Lao Hu again. He was overjoyed to see that although he was still asleep, his face had some blood on his face, and he thanked Jiang Caiyue several times, but When Jiang Caiyue stayed with them for dinner, no one stayed behind, so she went back to the county government to have something to eat.

Although he knew that there might not be any serious food in the yamen nowadays, Jiang Caiyue did not force them to stay, and brought them a jar of shredded pickles and some dry food pancakes, and Lu Anlang sent them out.

When she came back, Jiang Caiyue went to the kitchen, took two butchered chickens from the space, put them in a pot and stewed them into chicken soup.Lu Anlang said: "I just saw that Brother Ji and the others hid all the pancakes they gave and said they were going home to feed the children. It can be seen that their family's life is not easy."

Jiang Caiyue said: "Everyone's life is hard these days. Those who live in the countryside are better off. There is no food in the city, and they have to buy everything to eat. If the government doesn't think about it, there will be more riots sooner or later."
