After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

Su Jinhua closed the door and the guard stood at the door. Neither of them spoke.

Seeing this, Gu Yan'an poured a drop of water from the teacup in his hand and wrote a sentence on the table.

Be patient!

However, in just a moment, Zhuying brought a group of people and replaced all the guards. He found a random reason and asked them to stand in the front yard.

Su Jinhua then let out a breath, his face solemn, his brows slightly furrowed, and he slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

"The situation in Gutian County is worse than we expected. I'm afraid there are still many unknown things that we don't know yet."

She was naturally melancholy in her heart, as she had not expected that the Third Prince would be so bold as to not even care about the common people.

There was no change in Gu Yanan's expression. He just nodded slowly and looked at the surrounding environment, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

"It seems that they deliberately made things difficult for us and found a place like this. I'm afraid you will have to work hard during this period of time."

It doesn't matter that he has been to the battlefield and has been in harsh environments, so he can certainly endure it now.

Just as Su Jinhua was about to speak, she heard screams coming from the prison and she let out a sigh.

"Since they are willing to pretend, we will accompany them to the end."

She never thought about having a good life when she came here, but now she can bear it.

……

The next day, Su Jinhua pushed Gu Yan'an early in the morning to observe the living conditions of the people on the street. Shen Rujun followed them all the time and never left.

The two first went to a large piece of farmland. Some of the land was dry, but it was almost all abandoned. It seemed that no one was willing to plant, and the situation was getting worse.

Su Jinhua glanced at it indifferently, noticed the small stream not far away, and then said something.

"It's hard to grow crops here, so why aren't they willing to grow some crops near water?"

At least it can solve part of the problem of food and clothing without having to beg others for help.

Shen Rujun's brows were furrowed. He exhaled heavily and put his hands behind his back.

"You don't know that the weather is really bad now. Even if they plant something, it won't survive for too long. After a while, no one will be willing to plant it anymore."

As time went by, this place became a wasteland. The people were unwilling to work, and eating naturally became a problem.

Gu Yanan seemed to believe it. His brows were slightly furrowed and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. In the end, he didn't say anything.

They went to several more places, and found that there were very few people planting crops. Almost all people seemed to be beggars on the streets, living a life of begging.

Some of the children were very young and could only lie on the ground, asking passers-by for food. They were so hungry that they were skinny and their cheeks were sunken.

Gu Yanan became more and more upset as he watched. His brows became more and more gloomy, and his face became so dark that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it.

"Why don't these people plant crops or work, but just want to beg?"

Anyone with a little self-respect will create some wealth with his own hands.

Shen Rujun felt a bit stuck in his throat for a moment, as if he didn't know how to respond. He just glanced at County Magistrate Yang who was standing beside him.

Upon seeing this, County Magistrate Yang quickly spoke up, with a sigh in his voice, and responded softly.

"No one wants to buy things, and these shops don't hire people. They have nowhere to go, and over time, they can only live a life of begging."

As they were talking, a little boy holding a broken bowl came running towards them with the bowl in his mouth.

"Please give us some food, kind people. We have been hungry for several days and we can't stand it any longer."

As soon as he uttered this sentence, a guard kicked him hard in the stomach with a vicious look in his eyes.

"Get out of here right now. If you offend me, I will chop off your head."

Seeing this, Su Jinhua's expression immediately darkened and he groaned.

"But didn't you expect that you would treat the people like this, without the slightest mercy or sympathy?"

They were either beaten or scolded, and it seemed that these people suffered a lot in their daily lives.

The little boy didn't dare to speak after being beaten. He just kept holding his stomach, looking a little uncomfortable.

Shen Rujun's heart skipped a beat instantly, and he hurried over to check the boy's injuries, taking out some silver from his pocket and putting it in his arms.

"Hey, take this money and go see a doctor, and keep the rest for food."

He pretended to be kind, and when he saw this kind of situation, he would just watch calmly without any intention of helping.

County Magistrate Yang immediately slapped the guard in the face with an extremely ugly look and great force.

"Who allowed you to abuse your power? You beat the people and scold them as you please. Everything I taught you has gone to waste!"

He did this just to pretend, and also to hint to Gu Yanan that his usual behavior was upright.

The guard, whose face was swollen from being beaten, did not dare to resist and could only lower his head so that others could not see his emotions.

County Magistrate Yang roared angrily.

"Get out of here right now and stop embarrassing yourself here!"

After hearing this, the guards nodded one after another, then turned around and left quickly, all in a hurry.

Gu Yan'an didn't say anything, but just pursed his thin lips into a line.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Yang had an awkward smile on his face and bent his waist slightly.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, I really didn't manage them well."

His eyes were somewhat evasive, and it was obvious that he felt guilty.

Su Jinhua seemed to understand and nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

"We all see your good intentions, so you don't have to be nervous."

There was no impurity in her smile, which made her look extremely friendly.

Originally, County Magistrate Yang was still a little worried, but now he felt relieved. With a slight smile on his face, he nodded slowly.

"That's fine, that's fine."

They mentioned a few more places, and Shen Rujun took them to many different places.

It can be said that the environments are getting worse and worse. They are extremely harsh, completely opposite to the previous beautiful appearance of mountains and rivers.

The whole place had a dead look to it, as if it had been sucked dry.

Even the common people here are the same. They don't have enough food to eat, they are all skinny, and even the way they look at people is filled with timidity.

Originally Shen Rujun was afraid that she might be exposed, but gradually she relaxed her guard and took them around casually.

Su Jinhua took all of this in, pursed her red lips, and said nothing more.
