Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

It was late at night, and the heavy snow was still falling. The people in the city came out after hearing the news, and many people came to watch with their clothes on. There was a crowd of people around the gate of the city. Among the crowds, only one picture could be seen. Indistinct face.

These refugees have been overwhelmed by anger and lost their minds. Disciple Yunhua didn't dare to let them in, and was afraid of hurting them, so they all put away their swords and used their bodies as shields to block the refugees. Forced to go out.

However, there are so many people on the other side, and it is obvious that they are desperate. This team of disciples has been traveling for several days, and they are quite tired. They ran into this incident when they first came to Yao Dingcheng. Before they figured out what was going on, they were at a loss Water and ground were mixed into it, and the disciples couldn't use force to exert pressure, so they could only bite the bullet and hold on, and it didn't take long for them to feel powerless.

"Didn't you say that Senior Sister Lu is in Yao Dingcheng? Why hasn't there been such a big commotion?"

"You guys! Go and drive away all the people watching the excitement!"

"It doesn't matter, we won't be able to bear it if this goes on, let's drive people out first!"

Several disciples exchanged glances, intending to draw their swords to intimidate these refugees, tell them to retreat first, and then speak, when they were about to make a move, they heard a clear voice: "Don't hurt people, let them go first!"

Hearing this, although the disciples didn't have time to look back to see who was speaking, they retreated tacitly. However, as soon as they retreated, the refugees rushed over chasing them. The disciples were very annoyed. Want to reprimand who is commanding indiscriminately, then a white shadow suddenly swept over from the crowd, just in front of them.

The girl was holding a slender silver sword, and a snow-white purse was hanging from her waist. She was thin and tall, standing in the snowy night, like a green bamboo.

She said calmly, "It's better not to block, let's stand farther away."

When the disciples saw her, their faces softened immediately, but they still frowned and said, "What if we don't hurry up and stop them? These people are going crazy, let them in, what if they hurt the people in the city?"

Yin Qiu backed away, seeing those refugees swarming into the street, said: "No hurry, we can't stop them, just wait and see."

Since she said that, although the disciples didn't understand why, they did as she said and stepped aside.

Sure enough, they stopped trying to stop them, and those refugees entered the city as they wished, but suddenly became a group of headless chickens, not knowing what to do next, they stopped after running for a while, huddled together and looked around blankly.

Seeing this, the disciples showed joy immediately: "Young junior sister is still smart!"

These refugees were just dizzy with anger and couldn't control their emotions for a while. After all, they were all poor people who wanted to find a way to survive. In fact, their hearts were not bad.

Seeing that they were no longer fighting like they were just now, they stopped one after another, so Yin Qiu stood up and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, calm down, we are all disciples of Yunhua Palace, and we are ordered by our master to go down the mountain to help the victims. You must have suffered a lot when you came from afar, you can rest assured that our Yunhua Palace will not just sit idly by, but please don’t make trouble, everything will follow the rules, as long as you are willing to cooperate, we must do our best to settle down Everyone, let me give you an explanation."

After arguing for a long time, finally someone who could speak up came forward, and the refugees, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, flocked impatiently to Yin Qiu to express their grievances.

Seeing them rushing towards them again, the disciples didn't dare to relax, and they all secretly guarded and clenched their sword hilts, but Yin Qiu just smiled and waved his hands, signaling them not to be nervous.

"Girl! Are you in charge? Then you must uphold justice for us!"

"Yes, girl! We were originally from Cang County. The snow disaster over there was worse than anywhere else. The government government swallowed the relief money and handed it over to the Jianghu sect to take care of it, but they drove us out. We wandered all the way here. There was no other way to find you!"

"If someone is willing to take us in, who is willing to make trouble? It's all for food. If you don't even care about us, then we all really have a dead end!"

These people are weather-beaten, tired and hungry, all of them are sallow and thin, shivering from the cold. They had a bit of arrogance when they started making troubles, but at this moment, they lost their previous arrogance. In fact, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were not many young and strong men. The more everyone talked, the more aggrieved they became, and at the end they all burst into tears, which made the disciples feel very uncomfortable.

"Cang County..." Yin Qiu muttered the name of the place in a low voice, then raised his head, "There are many sects in the south area, I don't know which sect you are talking about?"

A man immediately spat: "Ziwei sect! Besides them, what sect is so hateful!"

Hearing his words, the disciples all showed sudden expressions.

No wonder Yao Dingcheng suddenly had so many refugees, they were originally driven by the Ziwei Sect.

The government office received the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court, but refused to do practical things, so they distributed part of the money and ordered the various sects to take over the jurisdiction on their behalf. Yunhua Palace did everything within its power. How could the Ziwei sect be willing to do good deeds? ?Naturally, the refugees must be driven elsewhere.

A disciple said: "The past two years of the Ziwei Sect have been considered calm, but this year it suddenly came out, I'm afraid there will be some trouble again, so I have to report it to the palace quickly, and other states and cities have to notify it. They are prepared."

Yin Qiu nodded: "That makes sense, but it's better to settle them down now, and I'll come later to fix the books."

·

The disciples got busy and settled the refugees into the pre-built sheds outside the city.

After a long time, I heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from the city. Yin Qiu looked around and saw that Lu Huaiwei was bringing someone, so he hurried forward and said, "Senior Sister Lu!"

"Xiaoqiu!" Lu Huaiwei was surprised and delighted, took Yin Qiu's hand and said, "Why did you come to Yao Dingcheng?"

Yin Qiu smiled: "We came from Qingluo City, and the refugees over there have all settled down. Senior Sister Ye said that you are here, and asked us to come and meet you, and then go back to the palace together on another day. I didn't expect that just now When I came here, I encountered refugees making trouble, why did my senior sister come here now?"

Lu Huaiwei sighed, looked at a female disciple beside her and said, "If I had heard the news earlier, I would have come here earlier."

It turned out that this female disciple was one of the disciples who had quarreled with Duan Ning before. She saw that the refugees had a tendency to make trouble, so she wanted to make Duan Ning suffer, so she deliberately delayed the time and did not report to Lu Huaiwei in time. Unfortunately, Lu Huaiwei suffered from the wind and cold recently, and went to bed early, and did not hear any movement here, until just now, when the female disciple heard that Duan Ning had been beaten, she woke up Lu Huaiwei from the couch.

Fortunately, Yin Qiu and others arrived in time, stabilized the refugees, and did not develop the situation into an uncontrollable situation.

"I just want to teach that Duan Ning a lesson!" The female disciple was still angry, "These days, she has repeatedly hindered us from doing things, it is shameful! She is just a lady from a rich family, why should she dictate to us ? The disciple just can't understand her!"

"Nonsense!" Lu Huaiwei scolded, "If you have anything to do, just ask me to come forward, why do you have to make a decision in private? If there is something wrong with the Duan family, you can take responsibility for it?"

The female disciple stuck her neck and said: "Is it a big deal to fight! She can't beat me either! Anyway, I heard that she was beaten, and I am very happy!"

In fact, Lu Huaiwei didn't want to see Duan Ning either. After she was transferred to Yao Dingcheng, she often dealt with Duan Ning. Every time she met her, there would be some quarrels. Try not to provoke them if you can hide, so as not to cause a lot of trouble, so although Lu Huaiwei was unhappy, she never had a problem with that Duan Ning.

"What kind of bullshit is the god of spreading wealth, all the money is used to curry favor with sects in Jianghu!" The female disciple snorted coldly, "Why is the Duan family covering the sky in Yao Dingcheng? Isn't it because they have various sects backing them? I'm not an enemy Wealthy, it’s not that they force them to give the money to the poor. If they don’t take it, they don’t take it. That shouldn’t hinder us from saving people, right! I don’t know which righteous man beat Duan Ning, I really want to go and give it to him Kowtow!"

"You, you," Lu Huaiwei couldn't laugh or cry, "Stop talking, where is Duan Ning?"

The female disciple said: "I don't know!"

Yin Qiu couldn't help laughing, and said, "If I'm not wrong, the Duan Ning you are talking about should be the girl I saved. I have already asked Bai Ling to send her to the hospital."

Lu Huaiwei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Speaking of which, the beating is her own fault. Leave her alone. Let's settle the refugees first."

A group of people immediately left the city gate and got busy step by step. The disciples transported the rice grain from the post station, set up an iron pot to cook the porridge, and brought a lot of clothes and quilts. Finally, the refugees had a stutter and a place to live. After the medical disciples confirmed that these refugees had no disease, they planned to arrange people to enter the city one after another. However, they found out that these people had no household registration.

The government office had clearly announced early in the morning that only refugees with household registration could enter and settle in the cities of the major states. Right now, these people do not have household registration to prove their identity, and Yao Dingcheng will not be able to accommodate them for the time being.

This is another problem.

Cang County is far away from here. If they want to return to Cang County and ask the Ziwei Sect for household registration, they may die on the way. Besides, if the Ziwei Sect intends to embarrass them, it is still unknown whether they can get it, even if they are reluctant at this moment. There is a shelter, but although the shed is well built, it can't withstand much cold. The refugees can't enter the city for a day, so they can only stay in this place for a day, which is not a long-term solution.

·

Yin Qiu followed the crowd to work for a while, and seeing that the situation had stabilized, he went to the post station and wrote a letter about Yao Dingcheng's situation and sent it to Yunhua Palace.

Lu Huaiwei was probably suffering from severe wind and cold, and after a short stay, her face turned pale and she could not stand still. Yin Qiu thought that she had nothing else to do at this time, so she called a disciple to take her back to the station. Unexpectedly, just as Lu Huaiwei left, a group of uninvited guests came suddenly behind her.

Everyone in this group is well-dressed, all dressed in brocade clothes made of high-quality silk and satin, especially the young girl standing at the front, wearing a bright skirt and a thick sable fur cloak, her whole body Noble and bright, one can tell that she is a rich and well-dressed young lady.

Yin Qiu stood in the porridge shed, took a few glances from a distance, and recognized this girl as Duan Ning, who was rescued from the refugee pile by her earlier.

"Hey!" As soon as he got closer, Duan Ning shouted at his disciples, "What are you Lu Huaiwei! Where did you go?"

Seeing the contempt on the face of the female disciple who didn't like her, Yin Qiu hurriedly cleaned her hands, came out from behind the door, and said, "Senior Sister Lu is unwell and went back to the inn, why do you want her? "

When Duan Ning looked at Yin Qiu's eyes, he felt a little apprehensive for no reason.

She thought, what's the matter with this girl?Isn't it because she looks better? Why is she inexplicably afraid of someone who is still gentle?

Duan Ning snorted, put on airs as much as possible and said, "Since she's not here, who can take care of things here?"

Yin Qiu said, "Young lady, just speak up when you have something to say."

"Then you can take care of things?" Duan Ning said with his hips akimbo and his chin raised, "Well, these refugees hurt people maliciously before and beat me with their hands. I'm here to bring them to court!"

Seeing her posture, the disciples knew that she was looking for trouble, so they all showed contempt and stood up together.

"What kind of official are you meeting? You hindered us from helping the victims and obstructing our work for the government. What crime should you have?"

"That's right! If you weren't messing around, how could they be forced to make trouble?"

"Don't think that because your Duan family is rich and powerful, you can act recklessly. The beatings are your own fault. You can't blame others!"

When Duan Ning heard them taunting and insulting him, how could he bear it?

"What a Yunhua Palace! Even if you talk about flowers, you can't clear up their crime of beating people! Beating people is breaking the law! If you break the law, you will have to see the official!"

Duan Ning waved his hand: "Catch those troublemakers!"

A group of subordinates got her order and were about to rush out of the city gate to arrest people. Naturally, the disciples were not to be outdone, and pulled out their swords to stop them.

When Duan Ning saw this battle, he stomped his feet angrily: "Are you going to confront our Duan family?"

Some disciples said disdainfully: "What Duan family? We, Yunhua Palace, don't care about you, what a joke!"

"You—!" Duan Ning was angry, pointing at his subordinates and cursing, "What are you still doing? Hit me!"

The subordinates were hesitant and hesitated to do it.

Duan Ning shouted: "A bunch of stupid pigs! What are you afraid of? Just call me! If anything happens, I will take care of it!"

Even though she made such a promise, her subordinates still didn't dare to follow through.

Just kidding, they are not stupid!These Yunhua disciples are all very skilled, how could they be able to deal with them?Who would be so foolish as to send him up and be beaten for nothing!

Seeing that her subordinates refused to move, Duan Ning was even more embarrassed and furious: "Okay, it's against you!" After she finished speaking, she picked up the long whip in her hand and slapped the subordinates hard, beating them They ouched all over the sky, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Seeing this scene, Yin Qiu could only shake his head and chuckle, and said: "Miss Duan, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. These refugees will all settle in Yaoding City in the future. Your Duan family's good reputation is good, don't let it be because of it." Bad reputation."

Duan Ning said: "But they beat someone, so that's all?"

Yin Qiu said: "The girl might as well tell me, who specifically beat you?"

The scene was so chaotic before, almost everyone moved their hands. Duan Ning didn't know who hit her, and said angrily: "I didn't see who it was, anyway, they just hit her!"

"Beating someone is indeed against the law, and it is true that you should be sent to the court," Yin Qiu said, "but not all the refugees have attacked the girl. If the girl can clearly point out the perpetrator, we, Yunhua, will naturally not cover it up, but the girl If you can't point out who they are, then you can't take all of them away, it's not in line with emotion, reason, or even the law."

Duan Ning was dumbfounded: "Are you deaf? I didn't even see who hit me!"

Yin Qiu smiled kindly: "Then wait until the girl thinks about it."

Duan Ning has never seen anyone with a sharper tongue than himself. He thought to himself that this girl really hides her secrets. Her words are not unpleasant, but she can also make her speechless. It is really difficult to deal with.

She stared at Yin Qiu extremely aggrieved, and said after a long while, "What's your name!"

Yin Qiu gave a salute, and replied: "My surname is Yin, and the single name is Qiu."

"Yin Qiu is right!" Duan Ning snorted coldly, "I remember you!"

After she finished speaking, she signaled the group of disgraceful subordinates to retreat, and sneered: "I can temporarily let them go tonight, but this matter will never end! I can tell you, these refugees do not have household registration, if any of you dare to ignore the government The Yamen ordered them to be let into the city, and my Duan family will never spare you!"

Yin Qiu nodded slightly: "Miss, go slowly."

Duan Ning gritted his teeth, sneered again, took out a blood-stained handkerchief from his bosom, threw it on the ground, and left angrily.
