What about the stepmother dressed as three villains?

It's not a good thing, let them tear it off...

out of town.

Where the porridge is given out, refugees line up in long queues, waiting for the porridge to be given out.

Wang Laowu went into the mountain to cut firewood with a basket on his back. Several people who looked like refugees followed him not long after he entered the mountain.

There was the sound of cuckoos in the forest.

Several people meet.

The two dirty noses are not noses, eyes are not eyes, and the clothes are in tatters. They are facing east and west.

"master!"

Wang Laowu looked up at them, "That's not a bad disguise."

Xiang Dong said, "Master, I'm overwhelmed." There are few people in the small town, and there are many new faces, which will make people suspicious. Before, they were hiding in the mountains and forests. Now that there is a wave of refugees passing by, the two disguise themselves as refugees, so that they can get close to the small town. Near the town, just right.

Xiang Xi said, "Master, you haven't contacted us for a long time. If you don't contact us again, we are all planning to go to Jiang's Medical Center to seek medical advice."

Wang Laowu bent down and started chopping firewood seriously, "How are things going?"

The two reported all the intelligence news that happened recently.

Wang Laowu groaned and concentrated on chopping firewood. After a while, half of the basket was cut.

The master didn't speak, and Xiang Dong and the two waited beside him, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Xiang Xi wanted to go forward to chop firewood for his master, but given his courage, he wouldn't dare to disturb his master's work.

I just silently praise him in my heart, the master is getting better and better at chopping firewood.

After chopping half of the firewood on his back, Wang Laowu stopped, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, "Bachelor Shi has been sent to the county government. Has the kidnapping case been solved?"

Xiangdong Lian turned his head back, "We secretly dispatched people, and we have dug out all the mastermind behind the scenes. The main gang is in Shamen County. They have already fled, and we secretly intercepted them and threw them into the government office. No matter how stupid Ling is, he should be tried once or twice."

Wang Laowu asked, "A gang of kidnappers of this size has existed for so long, does it have anything to do with the county magistrate?"

"It has nothing to do with the county magistrate. It has something to do with a capable master under him. We have also presented all the evidence to him. It depends on how he handles it. Master, the abduction incident is a big one this time. We have shot several times, and we have left some traces. If someone looks for clues, they may find Shili Town, and they may find that it is the master who shot behind the scenes. We are now worried about your safety in Shili Town. It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. .”

Wang Laowu continued to chop firewood, "Why hasn't the relief food from above come down? Now the price of food has skyrocketed, if this continues, the consequences will be very serious."

There are more and more refugees, and the locals are also in short supply of food.

The more scarce food prices are, the more some rich families like to stock up on food. As a result, there will be less food and the people will suffer even more.

If it goes on for a long time, some people will starve to death.

If the food and clothing of the people cannot be solved, there will inevitably be riots and national turmoil.

And there is grain in the grain depot of Da'an country, just to prevent these natural disasters and man-made disasters, the grain in the grain depot can feed the entire Da'an country for about two years.

There are also large grain merchants who have grain in stock. If the treasury is not enough, they can buy grain from the large grain merchants at a high price. The flood in the northern province will definitely not cause a shortage of grain prices and drive them up to such an extent.

Xiang Xi said, "Back to Master, I'm coming down soon. There is news that the grain is already on the way. It is estimated that within two days, the grain truck will reach Shamen County and the food stores in each town."

Wang Laowu hummed.

a.

I went to chop wood seriously.

Both Xiangdong and Xiangxi are aware of their master's temper, it's useless for them to be anxious, just wait for the master to speak.

The master has a clue in his heart.

After a while, the other half of the firewood in the basket was cut.

They are all twigs and small pieces of firewood, which are used to light the fire, not the big firewood that can be cut quickly.

After cutting, brush off the leaves.

Wang Laowu proceeded in an orderly manner, "I will leave Shili Town after the relief food arrives, and then deal with my personal affairs."

Both east and west breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally waited for this sentence.

Wang Laowu said again, "We will not investigate the matter of King Xiang's young son, and we must not disclose it to anyone until this point."

"Ok."

I'm finally leaving here.

If they didn't leave, they all suspected that their master had been seduced by a country peasant woman, and they didn't want to leave anyway.

As for the matter of King Xiang's young son, do you want to talk about it? Also, the emperor doesn't know about it at the moment. It was their master who discovered it himself. They are not in a hurry. They can come back here in the future. The most important thing at present is to complete the emperor's work. the assigned task.

Xiang Dong hesitated to speak, "Master, I have something to ask you for instructions."

"Say."

"You have lived in Shili Town for so long, and you are afraid that someone will come to investigate your affairs in the future. This Jiang family, do you want to deal with it? What if someone catches you afterwards?"

Wang Laowu's eyes sharpened, and he looked up to the east, "No need."

The so-called disposal will not kill her because of this. Their six doors are not a place to kill people for no reason, but a place where fairness and legal principles are discussed. They will only use some special means to cover up the matter, such as sending people thousands of miles away. Keeping her name incognito, wait, that's definitely not the life Jiang Lianzhu wants to lead, and she's definitely not someone who is easy to bully.

Xiangdong hurriedly said, yes.

***

The price of food is getting more and more expensive. As soon as the meal time comes, there is a long queue at the porridge place at the gate of the town.

Not only refugees, but also local people.

In the past, three chopsticks could be inserted into the porridge, but now the porridge is getting thinner, and the rice grains can be seen clearly.

Even so, there are still people waiting in line for porridge.

Once there are too many people, all kinds of conflicts will arise. The reputation that the owner of Shili Town has accumulated so hard is not easy to break. A sip of rice soup is better than nothing.

With such a large amount, Jiang Lianzhu can't intervene, and her medicinal materials can't keep up. The weather is getting colder and colder. She can't do it if she wants to cook a bowl of ginger soup for the refugees. She can't buy a lot of ginger. .

Therefore, she couldn't cook the porridge anymore, so she moved it directly to the yamen to cook it.

As soon as there was a shortage of food, the supply of food in the food store began to be limited, and each household could only buy as much, not only white flour and rice, but also meat, vegetables, and poultry.

Many people went into the mountains to look for food, but the mountains are now cleaner than human faces. If Jiang Lianzhu took Xue Dasan to the deep mountains, she might be able to find some, but she has food at home now, so she is not in a hurry. Leave these opportunities to others. ?
