Luan's return today

Chapter 48
"Go and restrain his daughter together, and bury them well!"

Li Xing replied yes, and ordered someone to deal with the matter.

Then Jiang Yue looked at this group of yellow and thin people, feeling a little sour in her heart.

Thinking of the extravagant life of those dignitaries in the capital, I realized that the gap is so big.

It can be said that the rich dog meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road.

But the most important thing for people is to look forward, Jiang Yue put aside those pessimistic emotions, and raised her voice towards the people.

"The food will arrive soon. Everyone go home and inform your family members. After an hour, you will line up at the gate of the government office. The official will arrange for people to give porridge."

After hearing that there was food, everyone cheered in unison and forgot what happened just now.

Not long after, the people ran to the gate of the government office one after another, fearing that there would be no porridge at night, and looked at Jiang Yue with hope.

Jiang Yue was standing at the gate of the government office at this time, scanning the group of people with her eyes, and only started to speak when most of them had already arrived.

"From now on, the government office will eat porridge twice a day."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and applauded again and again. Before, they could only have one meal of porridge for three or four days, but now they eat two meals a day, so they were naturally very happy.

Even though it was just white porridge and tasteless, but in this situation, it was good to eat some, so there were so many picky ones.

"But..." Jiang Yue just said a word, glanced at the people, saw their nervous faces, smiled slightly, and calmed their emotions.

"However, when queuing up to receive porridge, you are not allowed to jump in line, do not stand in the queue, and do not get repeated pick-ups. Can this be done?"

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison without hesitation.

Only then did Jiang Yue nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Li Xing.

Li Xing nodded, and walked into the government office. Within a moment, a government servant came out with several big pots of porridge.

Everyone's eyes almost fell into the pot, they sniffed the aroma of the rice porridge fiercely, swallowed an unknown amount of saliva, and their feet were about to move. If Jiang Yue hadn't warned them just now, they might have jumped on it by now.

Jiang Yue looked at these people who were skinny and their clothes were in tatters. Seeing their longing eyes, she nodded towards the yamen servant.

After receiving the order, the two yamen servants worked as a group, one took the bowl and the other took the spoon, and began to distribute the porridge.

The faces of the people serving the porridge were beaming. They hadn’t had such a thick porridge for a long time.

And the people who have not yet received the porridge saw the people who had already received the porridge, their faces were full of envy, and they thought to themselves: Tomorrow must come early to line up.

At this time, an old woman took the porridge and walked to Jiang Yue with a cane.

"Master Jiang, I am an old lady, I am blind, I don't know good people, and I was fooled by that person. I hope that you will forgive us for our recklessness these days."

This remark was heard by everyone, and they showed guilt and said yes again and again.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, everyone is a sensible person now, knowing your kindness, and will never be provoked by someone with a heart."

While talking, the bearded man stood up with one foot.

"Father..."

The bearded man had just said two words, and the sleeves were pulled by the person next to him. He instantly realized Jiang Yue's identity, so he laughed awkwardly and changed his words.

"I promise here that I will obey Master Fan Jiang's orders in the future."

Seeing the beard like this, the rest of the people also pledged to Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue smiled and raised her hand to signal them to be quiet.

"I have known about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and everyone is anxious. The matter is over, so don't mention it again. Everyone hurry up and drink porridge, and then I have something to discuss with you."

Hearing Jiang Yue said there was something to do, everyone gobbled it up.

Li Xing watched Jiang Yue standing in thought at the gate of the government office, he picked up a bowl of porridge and walked over.

"My lord, you have to work hard for several days, and you should drink a bowl of porridge to fill your stomach first!"

Jiang Yue shook her head, "Let them finish drinking first, I'm worried that it's not enough."

Suddenly a rough male voice came into Jiang Yue's ears, and when she turned her head, she saw a yamen servant scolding a seven or eight-year-old girl.

Jiang Yue hurried forward and asked, "What's going on?"

The yamen servant complained to Jiang Yue, "My lord, this little girl has already received porridge once, and I remember it clearly."

Jiang Yue looked down at the half-human tall little girl, her face was dirty, she lowered her head, and kept twisting the corners of her yellow clothes with both hands. .

Jiang Yue reached out and touched the child's hair, squatted down to be level with her, and asked softly, "What's your name?"

"Xiaohua!" The little girl replied in a low voice.

Jiang Yue smiled at Xiao Hua, "Xiao Hua, don't be afraid, tell me if you have received it once?"

She nodded slightly.

"Then do you know that each person can only receive porridge once?" Jiang Yue continued to ask.

Xiaohua nodded again.

"I'll just say..." Before the yamen servant finished speaking, Jiang Yue turned his eyes to her and said to her, "Then why do you still have to wait in line?"

At this moment, Xiao Hua started to sob, tears streaming down her face.

"Grandpa! Grandpa is sick. I...I just took it for grandpa. I...I didn't drink it myself..."

"Where is your grandfather?" Jiang Yue asked.

"Home...home...grandpa lying on the bed...can't get up..."

Jiang Yue rubbed her hair and shouted, "Leave."

He personally scooped up a bowl of porridge and put it in Xiaohua's hand, and said to her, "This little brother is a doctor, after you drink the porridge, take him to your house to see grandpa, okay?"

Hearing that Li Xing is a doctor, Xiao Hua nodded happily, raised her hand and wiped her tears with her sleeve, and hummed, "Thank you sir."

Then he drank the porridge in a hurry, got up and left, and ran home.

Jiang Yue watched their backs as they went away, and also realized that there was a loophole in what she just said, so she said it again to the people.

"Anyone in the family who cannot come in person can register with the official, and then go to the yamen servant to get more rice porridge."

Everyone immediately became excited when they heard this, and thanked Jiang Yue repeatedly.

"I said that I will let the people in the south of the Yangtze River eat and wear clothes, so I will never break my promise."

At this time, the people looked at Jiang Yue like a living Bodhisattva, wishing to offer him up.

By the time the porridge was distributed, the sun had already set, leaving behind Xie Yuhui's reflection in the Jiangnan city.

Seeing that these people had already eaten, Jiang Yue gathered them together and looked at them silently.

"My lord, if you have anything to say, just say it, as long as you can do it, everyone will not refuse!"

The bearded man was originally an impatient person. Seeing Jiang Yue hesitated to speak, he couldn't help urging.

Everyone nodded along the bearded words.

Jiang Yue took a deep breath and looked up at them.

"When I came here, I saw many corpses in the city, and I knew that some of them were your relatives and friends. I would like to ask what your plans are for this?"

Mentioning the dead bodies in the city, the excited expressions of the people dimmed in an instant. Affected by the flood, every household was afraid that they would have to do such a trivial matter.

"Hey! What else can I do, let's go to the ground someday!" Someone in the crowd said.

Jiang Yue didn't follow up with the conversation, but glanced over their faces one by one, seeing that most of them had the same thoughts, her heart sank.

But the matter is imminent, and there is no time to discuss it slowly with them, Jiang Yue said bluntly, "I think this matter is inappropriate!"

Everyone was surprised for a while, as if they couldn't understand Jiang Yue's meaning, they all looked at her blankly.
