After being widowed and reborn, the regent will be my husband

Chapter 171
"Miss, how about we ask a few people?"

After walking a few steps, Xiaoyun suddenly suggested this sentence to Jiang Yunshang.

But Jiang Yunshang felt that this method was not easy to use, so he shook his head and said, "What do you want to ask? If it's a normal disaster victim, then that's all. What if someone sneaked in here pretending to be a disaster victim?"

"Then you can also ask to see if it is really a disaster victim. If it is true, then you can make arrangements. If it is not true, then you can make other arrangements."

Xiaoyun still thinks it is more appropriate to ask.

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Jiang Yunshang didn't stop her, it just depended on what she could ask.

Of course, regardless of whether they were people with other plans who sneaked in here, or real victims of disasters, at least they would reply when asked.

Therefore, if Xiaoyun wants to ask, he can really try it, maybe it will still have some effect.

But Jiang Yunshang didn't talk to these people too much. Instead, he walked aside and prepared to go to a store to buy something.

"Sister, can you do me a favor? I've been hungry for a few days, can you give me a steamed bun?"

Just when Jiang Yunshang was about to walk into a cloth store, a child suddenly grabbed the corner of her skirt.

She looked down and saw that the child was only five or six years old, and when he spoke, he looked at the bun shop next to him.

Those eyes were indeed full of longing, and the clothes were ragged, the body was dirty, and the hair was still messy. It looked like there was a basket full of lice.

"Okay." After looking at the child, Jiang Yunshang agreed to his request.

But he didn't give him money to buy buns right away, but asked him, "If I give you a bun, what are you going to give me?"

"I, I have nothing." When the child heard Jiang Yunshang's words, his eyes were overshadowed and he lowered his head.

"Miss, such a child, what can he give you, I think he must be really hungry."

At this time, Xiao Yun, who went to inquire about the news, also came back. Seeing that the child really couldn't bear it, he immediately took out his copper coins to buy food for him.

"Well, the child is indeed fine, and it is very likely that he is really hungry, but one must have a grateful heart, otherwise it will be a disaster when you save it."

Jiang Yunshang said a few words to Xiaoyun, but she still walked over and bought two buns for the child.

The kid devoured the steamed stuffed bun, eager to stuff it into his mouth.

He looked extremely hungry indeed.

"Are you alone? Where is your family?" Jiang Yunshang tried to ask him again, seeing that he just ate the buns when he got them.

"My grandmother, my sister are all gone, and now I'm alone."

The child replied very sincerely.

Xiaoyun heard him say that his relatives were separated, but he frowned and asked: "Since you have a grandmother and a sister, why don't you go to find them?"

"I looked for it, but for a while I was so hungry that I fell into a coma, and then I was thrown into a pile of dead people. When I crawled out, I couldn't find my grandmother and sister anymore. I don't know if they were also thrown in."

The kid was about to shed tears when he said this.

But Xiaoyun didn't seem to believe his words very much. Instead, he looked up at Jiang Yunshang and asked for her opinion.

"Where is your place? What happened to you? Why did this happen?"

After waiting for a while, Jiang Yunshang asked where they were from, and why did they suddenly suffer a disaster?

Unexpectedly, when the child didn't answer, Xiaoyun was at the side and rushed to intercede.

It turned out that the people who came here were all from a county called Zhuziling.

They were not fierce floods, but because of the existence of wild boars there, all the crops were destroyed badly, and then the county magistrate was inhumane and forced to double the tax.

In the end, the people couldn't survive, so they began to move their homes, fleeing disasters and planning to run out to make a living.

It's a pity that I ran out this way, and many lives died before I found someone.

"There shouldn't be many people in a county, right? But there seems to be a lot of people coming to the imperial city recently. Is that kind of inhuman magistrate also appearing in other places?"

Xiaoyun was a little skeptical, but she didn't understand that much, so she didn't dare to say too clearly, so she had to make a rough guess.

"The prince must have known about this matter, and he should go down to investigate."

As for the tax collection, Jiang Yunshang believed that Feng Yi would handle it well, so she didn't have to worry about it.

However, the sudden appearance of so many victims in the imperial city seems to have a bad influence on them, especially at this time.

After all, Jin Yu's prince is still with them, and there are many envoys.

At this time, a large number of disaster victims flooded into the imperial city, which would make these people feel that they had no right to govern the country in Sheng'an and caused the suffering of the people.

So Jiang Yunshang suspected that someone might be behind the scenes.

This is why she suspects that these victims are not ordinary victims?
I'm afraid that someone deliberately messes up at this time, which will affect their Sheng'an's reputation.

"Actually, not only our Zhuziling, but also several counties by the forest were severely damaged, and the crops were also seriously damaged.

And in the past two years, there have been bugs in our crop fields, especially the one with a lot of grasshoppers. They gnawed all the young crops, and they didn't receive much food. As a result, wild boars appeared again, and then they collected a lot of taxes. That's why everyone has a hard time. "

At this time, there was a man who looked to be in his thirties, leading an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and emphasized the situation there.

"Since it was caused by insect plagues and wild animals, it shouldn't be like this in a day or two. Why haven't we heard of it?"

Xiaoyun was still a little curious, and couldn't help but ask more.

It's just that when the woman heard Xiao Yun's question, she shook her head slightly in a puzzled manner.

"We don't know about this. We know the situation. It is indeed as I said. It's just why they didn't report it to the higher authorities. Then we, the common people, have no way of knowing."

The woman replied with a sigh.

Jiang Yunshang didn't speak. She had some doubts about this woman. This woman spoke clearly and narrated clearly. She didn't look like an ordinary person.

Jiang Yunshang didn't think she was an ordinary farmer.

Besides, although the clothes she was wearing seemed to be coarse linen clothes and short clothes worn by ordinary people, they were clean and tidy, and not a little worn out.

Compared to her, whether it was the little girl beside her or the little boy Jiang Yunshang and the others met, they were all dressed in tatters and dirty.
