In an inn in Yanbei Fucheng.

The man in black from before sat at the head, listening to the news of the two half-kneeling in front of him.

"The government's disaster relief food has arrived in the middle of the Lingzhong area, and it will reach the Yanbei area in three days."

After the man listened, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth for a while, and the man raised his head and said to Xiao Yi who was beside him: "You take a person to Yanbeiwei first, and meet with General Yanbei. I."

"Yes, master." Xiao Yi bowed his head without asking any further questions, and then led a fast horse to the Yanbei Guard stationed on the border of Yanbei.

The man drank the hot tea in the cup, sat quietly until dark, and explored Yanbei Mansion at night.

Although the Yanbei mansion was brightly lit, the magistrate of Yanbei was not in the government office. The man asked the guards to lead the way and went directly to the mansion of the magistrate of Yanbei.

Seeing the lights still burning in Yanbei government office, the common people thought that the magistrate stayed up late to work, but they didn't know that it was just a show, and the magistrate they admired was getting popular with his concubine, so uncomfortable.

"Master, come on, use your strength..."

"You bastard, you little bastard, just wait..."

The two figures hid in the branches and leaves of the big tree and listened to the nasty words in the room. The guard glanced at his master's calm face, and in his heart lit a candle for the magistrate of Yanbei.A gust of wind blew by, and the figures of the two had disappeared from the tree.

The next day, two figures riding horses appeared on the official road leading to the subordinate territory of Yanbei Mansion, and the guards reported from the side: "Master, the two prefectures and counties under Yanbei are not allowing refugees to enter the city. Currently, Yunzhou and the two counties have Small-scale riots broke out, and they were all suppressed. The remaining Qingzhou is the place where refugees gather the most, but there has not been a single riot.” Pointing to the waves of refugees in front, the guard continued: “These are all Those who came out from other places and wanted to escape to Qingzhou."

"Go to Qingzhou." The man put his feet on the horse's belly and ran towards Qingzhou, followed by the guards.

The cold wind was howling, and about two hours later, the man finally arrived at Qingzhou County. Seeing the scene in front of him, his usually expressionless face was a little stunned at this moment, and the guard who was half a step behind had his eyes wide open, with an unbelievable expression on his face. .

I saw that there are densely packed simple tents set up outside Qingzhou County. Although the tents are simple and numerous, they are in order. When I walked in, I found that there were still some tents that were unoccupied. Obviously, they had been set up long ago. prepare.

There was a huge fire in the middle of every ten tents, and many victims gathered around the fire. The clothes on the victims surprised the men and guards even more. It was not a long gown, but a separate top and bottom. The top was only the body and two Arms and lower garments are also separated according to the two feet, somewhat similar to the obscene garments they wear underneath, but not the same.

The man could tell at a glance that the clothes were made of extremely low material. Although they were neither fish nor fowl, they were not very thick, but they were much better than the half-clothed disaster victims they saw along the way. These disaster victims outside Qingzhou City Their faces were also full of hope, the hope of living, while the faces of the victims they saw along the way were full of despair and sadness.

For the first time, there was an obvious smile on his face, and he said lightly: "The magistrate of Qingzhou is a wonderful person."

The guard introduced at the right time: "The county magistrate of Qingzhou City is called Su Wei, and he has been the county magistrate of Qingzhou for nearly ten years."

There are many officials in Xia Qi, and if there are no special opportunities for small officials of the seventh or eighth rank, it is possible to become an official in a small official position, but this Qingzhou county magistrate is obviously not such a person, and it can be seen from the handling of the victims This person must not be a mediocre person, so why is he still in the position of a seventh-rank official after ten years as an official?

The man knew that this was not the most important thing at the moment, so he pushed aside and rode his horse towards the city gate.

The two took out official documents, and the soldiers guarding the city gate knew that the two were not disaster victims when they saw the robes on their bodies and the horses they were riding on, so they let them go immediately.

The two of them passed through the city gate, and before they could continue to move forward, a small group of soldiers escorted two two-wheeled long carts, each of which was equipped with three large wooden barrels, and a faint fragrance of porridge came from the wooden barrels.

The soldier guarding the city gate shouted, "It's porridge."

The man and the guards were stopped aside, and the porridge cart passed in front of them. The guards of the man in black were worried that there would be riots. After all, there were only a small group of soldiers guarding the porridge, and there were at least a hundred people outside the city.

Looking back carefully, there was no commotion outside the city gate. The children were in front, the elderly were in the middle, and the middle-aged woman was behind. Suddenly, the guard asked in shock: "Master, why are there only old people, children, women, and men?" Woolen cloth?"

The guard got off his horse and stopped a passer-by to ask again. The passer-by replied: "Some people went to Qingjiang to fish with our county magistrate, and some people went to the mountains to hunt."

After careful questioning, I found out that the relief food from the imperial court had not arrived for a long time, and the rice warehouses in Qingzhou City were almost empty. Later, Mr. Lu, the capital of Qingzhou, bought rice noodles from all the rice merchants and noodle merchants in the city and donated them. The disaster victims can persist until now, but the food in the city is enough to last for another three days at most, so the young son of the county magistrate's family thought of the method of self-reliance for the disaster victims.

In Qingzhou City, the prosperity of the past is gone, the doors of every house are closed, and there is nothing else on the street except a few passers-by.

The two entered an inn, and the store owner could only offer porridge and side dishes. They were so full that they saw a young man running in with a big fish that was alive and kicking in his hand.

"Father, dad, look, we caught a fish." The young man said happily.

The shopkeeper of the inn also had a smile on his face, but he took it back for a while, stepped forward and slapped the young man's arm hard: "You took back such a big one, what about the victims outside the city? Such an adult It's not even half as good as the young master."

Seeing that his father wanted to fight again, the young man quickly dodged and shouted: "Father, the young master and the others caught a lot of fish, and I worked the most. This is the young master's reward for me."

The man and the guards could hear the admiration for the young man from the words of the young man and the shopkeeper.

"Cough" The guard gave a fake cough, and the shopkeeper remembered that there were still customers in the store, and greeted him with a smile.

"What's your order, you two?" the shopkeeper asked.

"What kind of person is the young master you are talking about?" the guard asked.

"Hey," the shopkeeper laughed out loud, and suddenly opened up the chatter box: "This is the young master of the county magistrate's family, speaking of which, that's really the case," the shopkeeper and the young man beside him gave their thumbs up.

The shopkeeper continued: "...the victims don't have enough to eat...what kind of tofu...what kind of popcorn...it's really fresh, just the handful of beans And corn...it's become a big pot...it's delicious...the key is, it's very easy to get full after eating..."

The young man added on the side: "Yes, yes, it is delicious, it is delicious."

The shopkeeper and his son talked cross talk for half an hour, and the man and the guards probably understood, and they were also very curious about the "little master" they called.

"Young master should be at the gate of the city now. If you want to see it, you can go." The shopkeeper continued to pack the bowls and chopsticks, "Our young master is not only smart and talented, but also has a good looks. He is amazing."

At the gate of Qingzhou County.

The disaster victims who fished with Su Jiabao were also wearing strange clothes, brightly colored, and several of them carried three or four large buckets, which were full of lively and lively fish.

Su Jiabao, who was followed by a dozen Yamen servants with knives, stood at the gate of the city and watched the housekeeper of Su's mansion distribute fish to the victims.

There are many people and few fish, these are just for them to boil some fish soup to drink to warm their bodies, those victims of the disaster still have to eat some meat, otherwise they are weak and weak, it is impossible to take care of so many victims of the disaster just relying on the city people to go out to find food of.

Human potential is terrifying, especially those who have half their foot in a desperate situation. At this time, as long as they see a little hope of being alive, they will hold on tightly, just like fishing in the Qingjiang River and hunting in the mountains. These disaster victims are the most Actively contribute the most, even if they are sallow and emaciated, hungry and cold.

"Have the people who went hunting in the mountains returned?" Su Jiabao asked the guards behind him.

"I haven't come back yet, but it should be soon."

As soon as the guard finished speaking, another group of people slid over from a distance.

Everyone stepped on a wooden plank with wide soles of their feet, and held thick branches as pillars in their hands. They slid quickly on the shallow snow and arrived at the city gate in a blink of an eye.

The guard standing by the city gate opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Master, this thing..."

If the things under the feet of those disaster victims are applied to Yanbeiwei's military, why worry about snowy weather?

The man had his hands behind his back, and his eyes were firmly locked on the man in the snow-white coat. Hearing what the guards said, he said shallowly: "There is nothing unusual about the sleigh invented by the people on the border of the Baijin Kingdom."

Seeing the indifferent expression on his master's face, the guard knew that there must be some disadvantages in the reason why this thing was not used in military affairs, so he didn't ask any further questions.

After the victims from the mountain came back, Su Jiabao saw the things in their hands, small squirrels, snakes, elm bark... as long as they could eat, they brought them back.

It seems that it is useful to find some experienced hunters at the foot of the mountain to take them up the mountain. Nowadays, the fish in the Qingjiang River are getting less and less. Su Jiabao knows that it is not good to cast a net for fishing. After this catastrophe, buy more fry and throw them in.

Lu Dayou also followed the victims who went up the mountain, and he slid a simple sled directly to Su Jiabao, grinning on his stiff face blown by the cold wind.

"Brother, I'm back."

"How is it? Is the harvest okay?"

"It's okay, okay," Lu Dayou said with a smile as he sled around Su Jiabao, "This thing is really fun, I'm not cold at all now."

Su Jiabao and Lu Dayou walked towards the city while talking, and when they got closer, Su Jiabao felt a gaze on him all the time.

Turning his head and looking around, he was attracted by the two people standing in the city.

The two men were dressed in outstanding aura, the leader of the man just stood there with a calm expression, but it made people feel that he was noble and inviolable.

Su Jiabao smiled slightly and met the man's eyes, and nodded his head as a greeting.

The man saw the young man smiling and nodding towards him. His complexion was fair, his eyebrows were exquisite, his eyes were bright and his teeth were white, and a small bright red mole on the side of his nose made him look even more agile.

The man also smiled and nodded, returning the salute.The noble temperament on his body suddenly disappeared.

Su Jiabao also felt it. Seeing that the handsome man nodded to him, he turned around and walked towards the Su residence. He still had to go back and discuss the next thing with his father.

After walking a few steps, Su Jiabao stopped and walked towards the man.

At this time, such an unusual person appeared in Qingzhou City, and he always felt that it was necessary to go forward and have a chat. Not to mention anything else, just because of the clothes that seemed to be of high value on those two people, he might be able to meet someone. Big fish, let's fool around a bit to see if we can kill something.

Those wealthy merchants in Qingzhou City have been slaughtered by him. Hearing his name, his face is tangled, and his heart hurts. Even Master Lu is now afraid of him coming to the door.

But I can't, the father I recognize has to be protected no matter what. In my memory, because of the embezzlement of Yanbei's disaster relief funds this time, the imperial court ordered a strict investigation, ransacked their homes and beheaded many officials, these small officials under the Yanbei Mansion There were also many casualties.

In the memory of the previous life, I have never heard about Su Wei. I think it must have been involved in this incident. Now, Qingzhou is the only prefecture and county where no sex has occurred. He will continue to maintain this situation. Later The imperial court's questioning, his father has such achievements in politics, so he should not be involved, maybe he can get a lot of promotions by virtue of this incident!

With so many thoughts in his heart, Su Jiabao had already walked in front of the man.
