After being dressed as the original match of cannon fodder, she was spoiled by a powerful minister

Chapter 162 Fu Jingchen was shocked

It was also at this time that he noticed that among the men and women, there were two skinny children.

Seeing this, his heart sank.

Those men and women were dressed in ragged clothes, their faces were dirty, and they couldn't distinguish their colors. At this time, they fell to the ground, huddled together in fear, and shouted tremblingly: "We, we are not bad people, we are too hungry, there is nothing we can do. , Your Excellency, please forgive me..."

Seeing this, Fu Jingchen dismounted from his horse, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't pursue you, but you have to tell me, where are you from?"

Those few men and women looked at each other out of some scruples, and they all fell silent.

"Don't say it yet!" Seeing this, Fu Jingchen could only emphasize his tone.

Several men and women were frightened when they saw that he was dressed in an official uniform and he was imposing.

Thinking of the danger they had escaped all the way here, they all gritted their teeth and remained silent.

At this moment, a woman's gentle voice said: "I have some snacks here, you can take them and eat them first."

Several people turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw a beautiful woman getting off the carriage, holding a tempting snack in her white and beautiful hands.

The eyes of several people were shining, and they swallowed hard. If they were not forced by Fu Jingchen, they would have rushed over, but now they just endured it and did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing this, Su Wan handed the snacks to the two children among them.

"Eat."

The two children were still young, and they didn't have as many worries as the adults. When they saw something to eat, they immediately stretched out their hands, grabbed the pastry, and ate it hungrily.

Seeing this, Su Wan's expression turned serious.

If she guessed correctly, these should be victims from Lizhou.

In the early summer of this year, floods in Lizhou flooded countless houses and fertile land. At that time, the imperial court allocated money and food to the disaster relief, but after layers of exploitation, when it reached the victims' hands, there was not much left. There are so many victims, it is not enough point.

Helpless, many victims had to leave their homes and beg everywhere.

Those officials who had pocketed their own pockets went around killing people who dared to leave Lizhou in order to prevent the incident from being revealed.

Lizhou is far away from the capital, and the emperor is far away from the mountains, so the court has been kept in the dark.

These few victims must have gone through many dangers to escape here.

At this moment they didn't say anything because the behavior of Lizhou officials chilled them. They were afraid that Fu Jingchen was with them, and if they spoke out, they would die.

According to the plot in the book, the imperial court would still know about this matter in a few days, but unexpectedly, today they encountered the disaster victims in Lizhou first.

Thinking about it, she whispered to several people: "Don't be afraid, the lord standing in front of you is the prime minister of the dynasty. He is upright and strict, not those corrupt officials. If you have any grievances, you can directly complain to him." He Chen Ming."

Hearing the woman's evaluation of him, Fu Jingchen was quite shocked, and gave her a complicated look.

He never knew that he had such a high opinion in her heart.

There was silence all around, and one of the women suddenly burst into tears.

The cry is pathetic, which makes people feel addicted.

Regardless of her companion's obstruction, she crawled to Fu Jingchen's feet on her knees, kowtowed her head and said, "My lord, we, we are the people from Lizhou. The torrential rain in the early summer of this year caused the river embankment to burst and cause floods.
Our houses and fields were flooded, and our families were also washed away by the flood...

But those dog officials didn’t care about our life or death, we had to find our own way out. No way, those dog officials sent people to cull them all the way. There were many people with us, but when we got to the back, we were the only ones left...

In order to avoid the pursuit of those dog officials, we fled all the way here, we can only rely on eating bark and grass roots..."

Speaking of this, the woman suddenly took a deep breath, foamed at the mouth, and fell backwards.

Su Wan was startled, and was about to reach out to help, but Fu Jingchen was faster, squatting down quickly, taking the woman's pulse, and also checked her eyes and tongue.

"How is it? Is she alright?" Su Wan squatted down and asked with concern.

Fu Jingchen withdrew his hand, his face slightly relaxed, "She hasn't eaten for a long time, plus she fled all the way here, and said so many words just now, she has already passed out from exhaustion, she will take a while, and she will get better."

Su Wan looked at the fainted woman, as well as the other men, women and children who were staring at them, thought for a while, and suggested: "If they enter the city at this time, they will attract the attention of interested people, so take them to the village first. Bar."

Fu Jingchen glanced at her in surprise, he didn't expect her to be so thoughtful.

He said decisively: "Call your mother and Zhenzhen down, let this woman and the two children get into the carriage."

"Okay." Su Wan replied.

But she didn't need to tell her, although Wang Shi and Fu Zhenzhen didn't get out of the carriage, they both paid attention to the movement outside. When they heard what Fu Jingchen said, they got out of the carriage.

Fu Jingchen and the coachman carried the fainted woman into the carriage, while Su Wan and Fu Zhenzhen each carried the two skinny children into the carriage.

The few men and women who were originally shrunk there, seeing this, boldly stepped forward, "Young master, madam, you, where are you going to take them?"

Su Wan explained: "The eldest sister has passed out, we are going to take her for treatment, you should follow along."

"Yes, is there anything to eat?" At this time, someone swallowed and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, and it's still full." Su Wan smiled kindly.

When several people heard the words, they were all overjoyed.

They also saw that Su Wan and the others were not the bad guys they thought.

Thinking of this, several people relaxed, and suddenly fell to the ground with a little collapse.

Seeing this, Wang's eyes were sore and unstoppable, and his eyes were instantly red. He quickly took water bags and pastries from the carriage and distributed them to them.

"You guys pad your stomachs first."

This time, the few people didn't have any scruples anymore, took the snacks, and started to gobble them up.

Fu Zhenzhen felt uncomfortable watching, "How long has it been since they ate?"

Su Wan sighed, "Let's go back to the village first, I will have to work hard for you and your mother to cook some food for them later."

Fu Zhenzhen hurriedly said, "What's the trouble? I'll cook a little more for them in a while."

Su Wan simply asked the other two women to get into the carriage, and after talking to Fu Jingchen, she took Wang Shi and Fu Zhenzhen back to the village to prepare.

Fortunately, they just came out of Zhuangzi not long ago, and it is not far to go back to Zhuangzi from here.

The three quickly returned to the village.

Chen Niu opened the door.

Seeing that the three of them came back again, they couldn't help being a little surprised, "But what happened?"

"No." Su Wan shook her head, "A few disaster victims will come in a while, and they will stay in the village for the time being."

Chen Niu was surprised when she heard the words, "How can there be disaster victims in this peaceful and prosperous world?"

Su Wan heard the words and didn't know what to say.
