Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 144
"Let's go, I'll accompany you to Rongshui County!" Bai Zeyuan greeted the carriage, watched his younger brother get into the carriage, cast a cold glance at everyone in front of him, and finally set his eyes on Tong Xiaowu.

"The last time you lied to me, I will never forget!"

That ambiguous tone, with a kind of game-like humor and indifference, makes people shudder.

"I, I didn't lie..." Tong Xiaowu bit her tongue, she had indeed lied in some aspects, such as the old and the young, two children and so on.

Bai Zewei got into the car, opened the curtains of the car, and waved at her: "The Fuyue Building will be handed over to you, I believe you will take care of it."

Tong Xiaowu shook her head, "I'm busy too! Do you want to exhaust me to death?"

Bai Zewei laughed, dropped the curtain, and lost his voice.

Xiao Junyi looked back at the woman beside him, thought of how stingy she was, turned around and came to the yamen servant he was stuffing money with, and stretched out his hand...

The yamen servant kneeling on the ground immediately understood and returned the ten taels of silver in his arms.

Xiao Junyi spent a lot of money, came to Renyazi Hutong, found a family with young children, imitated Tong Xiaowu, and said what she said:

"Master, I don't have much ability, I can't solve all the pain I have seen, and I can't save everyone from the fire and water, but I still have a little money, you can keep it, find a place to do something Let's make a small deal!"

After saying this, he stuffed the money into the man's hand, and the man hurriedly dragged his wife and children to kowtow to thank him, and then left the place quickly.

At the same time, the whole Renyazi Hutong went crazy, everyone rushed over like a tide, Xiao Junyi was dumbfounded, he was so pretentious, he forgot about the consequences.

Crowds of people rushed towards him like a tide, "Benefactor, can you help me, benefactor..."

On the street, Feng Yuchen and others had already disappeared from the carriage. In the alley, Xiao Junyi used eighteen martial arts to escape from Renyazi Alley. , with strips of clothes, messy hair, and flowers on his face.

It took a lot of effort for the entourage to catch up, just as miserable as him, "Master, this Linyue county city is fighting against us, your old wound is not healed, and you have added a new wound, how can I explain to my wife when I go back?" ?”

"Shut up, it's a bit bloody, but it seems very exciting." Xiao Junyi smiled at the corner of his mouth, flicked his sleeves, let himself go completely, regardless of his embarrassment, and swaggered around Dongcheng District.

Tong Xiaowu and others went east all the way, wherever they went, those officers and soldiers were driving refugees away, and those whips fell on them unceremoniously, no matter whether they were in pain or whether they abandoned their families or children?

In the East City, people come and go, and there is a lot of traffic. Under the superficial prosperity, how many lives are worse than death?

Because she bought a new store, Tong Xiaowu asked Zhang Zhiming to move out of the rented yard, and a few people moved here, only waiting for a few days later, when Li Dali and Li Er finished delivering the goods in other counties, they would come to join them. At that time, let Zhang Zhiming meet them in front of the rented yard.

After buying two sets of clothes and giving them to the two girls, Tong Xiaowu stood in front of the window of the store, looking at the street, with many thoughts in her heart.

She didn't notice it before, but she just noticed it today. No wonder the east city is so prosperous and peaceful. It turned out that all the refugees had been driven to the west city.

"Girl? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" One of the newly bought girls named Qingxiu asked.

Tong Xiaowu turned around slightly, and asked, "How long have you been in Linyue County?"

"Girl, we have been here for three days."

"How long has this been the case!" Tong Xiaowu knew that she couldn't change anything, but she couldn't help but want to ask.

"Is the girl talking about deporting refugees?"

"Hmm!" She nodded.

"Refugees should come in waves one after another, and they won't decrease until after winter." Qingxiu seemed to understand very well.

"Why do we have to go to winter? Do refugees have food in winter?" Tong Xiaowu has no experience in this area.

"No girl, in winter, those who deserve to be sold are dead, those who have no winter clothes and food, and those who are sick will not be able to return to their hometowns. Next year will be another year of waiting for the autumn harvest. We can survive the time, otherwise, winter will be a hurdle, I don’t know how many people will die, and there will be fewer refugees by then.”

When Tong Xiaowu heard this, she clenched her fists slightly, "Has the Linyue county government ever opened grain to suppress disasters?"

"How is it possible? It's not that Linyue County was hit by floods, let alone open grain to relieve disasters, those government servants have repeatedly stopped others from doing good and donating porridge! Now many refugees have heard that Linyue County is like this, so they detour to Nanzhou City. "

Tong Xiaowu nodded. She had experienced it once just now, and she could probably guess the reason for it. Mr. Qi in Rongshui County has been in office for three years and has achieved extraordinary achievements. This year is the key year for his promotion.

Then after he is promoted, the most likely replacement is the position of the Sheriff of Linyue County, so what should the current Sheriff of Linyue County do?Naturally, he wanted to go up.

However, the two counties in the south were flooded. No matter whether the refugees went west to Nanzhou City or north to the capital, they had to pass through Yuexi County in Linyue County. It was found that among several counties, Yuexi County had the least number of doll orders.

If you are not stable, who still wants to do business, even if you do business, it is impossible to just play this one. Cloth and food must be the best-selling, so naturally there will be fewer orders.

And some refugees came to Linyue County City with the attitude of giving it a try. They wanted to find a way out, but they didn't want the sheriff of Linyue County City to put an embarrassing sum on their political achievements for their own official career. Repression drives out refugees.

When winter comes, the imperial court will review his political achievements at the end of the year. He has been a sheriff for so many years, and without any political achievements, he is prosperous and peaceful on the surface, and he has not made any major mistakes.

Everything the sheriff does now is for his own official career.

In fact, if he opened food to fight disasters, he would naturally have political achievements, but he just wanted to come, this county guard is a stingy man, he doesn't want to contribute money and efforts, so naturally he doesn't want those merchants in the city to contribute money and efforts, so as not to sweep his face.

That night, the two girls cooked meals, sewed bedding, and cleaned up the main room in the inner courtyard, leaving Tong Xiaowu and Feng Yuchen to rest.

The night was dark, Feng Yuchen held Tong Xiaowu in his arms, and said softly: "Don't think about it, natural disasters and man-made disasters, there is no way."

"Who said there is no way?" Tong Xiaowu turned her back, "There is obviously a way... Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's live a good life for ourselves. If we are not doing well, how can we care about others."

　Xiao Junye said: Humans are social animals, so we need a sense of presence!
