The whole capital thinks I'm a lone star

Chapter 46 Surrounded by Disaster Victims

In the middle of the night, the night watchmen gathered around the fire and whispered to each other. A black shadow quietly landed beside the carriage, took out a letter and handed it in, and then left quietly. The night watchmen were still complaining about the cool night, but they didn't notice it at all. .

The letter said that Prince Gong had arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was movement at the iron mine.

Take the initiative to ask for disaster relief, and check the mine first when you arrive at the place.

The corner of Wei Zhao's mouth curled up into a sneer, the more precious things are lost, the more painful they are.

Early the next morning, continue on your way.

Not long after they left, a pair of cloud-patterned black boots broke the fish bones on the ground, and they rode away with whips.

Half a month later, a group of people came on horseback, guarding three carriages in the middle.Misty rain, poetry and painting, small bridges and flowing water are the Jiangnan they imagined. Now as far as they can see, there are victims in ragged clothes everywhere, the roads are muddy, and the trees have broken branches.

"How did Jiangnan become like this?"

"I knew the disaster was serious for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."

"Didn't the relief funds have been allocated again, and His Royal Highness Prince Gong has also come, why are there so many victims?"

"Quiet." Lin Ze was also shocked, but he couldn't let his subordinates talk about Prince Gong, there were some things they couldn't say.

This group of people is Wei Zhao and others. After traveling for more than half a month, they finally arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.

After staying outside the city for a while, some disaster victims have already started to approach.

It has been three months, many people have gone out from here, but very few people have come. The victims are all dragging their families, their faces are yellow and thin, and their eyes are shining when they see outsiders. Seeing that these people are not dressed like ordinary people, then There must be a lot of food in the carriage, but all the riders carry knives, and their eyes are greedy and fearful.

A woman came to the front with two children first, "Gentlemen, please give me something to eat. The children have not eaten for three days."

"Three days!" Wei Yu couldn't help shouting, "Isn't the government giving out porridge and food all the time? You are just outside the city, how come you have nothing to eat for three days?"

The two children looked about the same age as Wei Zibei and Wei Zhinan, their bodies were weak and shivering in the rain, they knelt down with a plop after their mother finished speaking, with eager eyes in their eyes.

Wei Yu suddenly felt compassionate, and took out the pastries he had prepared for his sister and gave them to them.

"Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor." The two children gobbled it up, and the woman kowtowed with gratitude.

"You're welcome, eat——"

When the word "ba" was said, Wei Yu's eyes widened, and groups of disaster victims surrounded them from all directions.

"It's just your kindness!" Wei Heng gave Wei Yu an annoyed sideways glance. In such a situation, he couldn't take out the food at all, and he couldn't even let people know that they had food. so many people.

Seeing that there are more and more people around, everyone has hunger and plunder in their eyes, Wei Heng has no doubt that if they don't give, these people will come directly to snatch it.

The imperial forest army quickly protected the Wei family members in the middle, and Lin Ze was explaining his identity to the city defenders.

"Stand back, don't come forward."

"Back, all back."

The disaster victims were approaching, and the Imperial Forest Army didn't want to hurt anyone, so they could only strictly order them to retreat.

The victims had been hungry for an unknown amount of time, and when they finally saw food, how could they shrink back because of a few reprimands.

There are many disaster victims outside the city, the city gate will not be opened easily, and the gatekeeper is still checking Lin Ze's identity.

During the pushing and shoving, a child was pushed to the ground, and the people behind were still pushing forward. The child had no chance to stand up before being trampled twice——
