Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Liang Shuyan sent all the medicinal materials she bought to the village. In addition to storing some medicinal materials in each family, Li Zheng also placed some medicinal materials in the village ancestral hall in case of emergency needs.

For this money, Li Zheng hesitated and gave all the money he had saved to Liang Shuyan.

"Her aunt, you must accept this money. These medicinal materials are used by you to make cosmetics. I can't just be greedy. Take it first. I will find a way to collect the rest and give it to you."

Liang Shuyan waved her hand: "Li Zheng, don't be so polite. The epidemic is still so serious now. Although I have these medicinal materials to make cosmetics, but the current situation, what can I do even if I make cosmetics?" So, who will buy it? Everything is in the overall situation. It will not be too late to wait until the epidemic is over."

Li Zheng smiled awkwardly and finally stopped mentioning the car of medicinal materials.

In the tent, Liang Shuyan was busy, and several women in the village were hiding aside, helping to take out the cooked soup and give it to the patient to drink.

Zhao Heng is a good boy. His father is a county magistrate. However, he has never felt that he is treated better because he is the son of a county magistrate. He wears a long blue gown and carefully gives medicine to patients and inquires about their conditions.

Someone in the tent recognized his identity, and then said, "You, are you the county magistrate?"

Zhao Heng always nodded gently: "Well, this is not important. My father is the county magistrate. Now that such an important thing is happening in the county, I can share whatever I can for my father."

In the tent, people kept spreading the news that Zhao Heng was a kind and filial child, the county magistrate was a good official, and even the county magistrate's son was so kind and sensible, so he must be a child with good fortune in the future.

Under the cover of night, Zhao Heng stood alone outside the tent, watching the busy scene. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through this troubled world. He smiled slightly, with a hint of helplessness in that smile, but also full of determination. He knows that this battle has just begun, and he must stick here for everyone who needs him.

In the tent, the faces of the new people who came in were unfamiliar, but Zhao Heng could see something familiar in their eyes - the desire for life and the expectation of hope. They clung to the edge of the tent as if grasping the straw of life, expecting a miracle to appear.

Outside the tent, Zhao Heng could only watch silently as several people with high fevers were carried out. Their pain, their struggles, cut deeply into his heart. But he knew he couldn't fall, he had to persevere.

The air in the tent seemed to have solidified, and the newcomers had no words to each other, only eye contact. Zhao Heng's eyes slowly slid over their faces, and what he saw were faces that were unfamiliar but shared a common emotion - they were persistence in life and persistence in the future. Their eyes are like the deep night sky, hiding endless hope and waiting.

They clung to the edge of the tent as if it was the only object that could give them a sense of security. Their fingers dug into the fabric, as if they were grasping at a life-saving straw, expecting it to pull them out of the abyss of despair. Everyone's breathing became cautious, fearing to miss any breath of life.

Liang Shuyan took everything Zhao Heng had recorded and sorted it out briefly.

"Zhao Heng, what are you going to record these things for?"

Zhao Heng glanced at Liang Shuyan and said with some embarrassment: "Aunt, I just want to record it to see if there are any commonalities between these diseases. Maybe we can find a good cure for this disease?" Liang Shuyan did not speak either. He nodded and said with great appreciation: "Good boy, I didn't expect you to have such a scheme."

County Magistrate Zhao summoned some wealthy merchants to come over, with the purpose of providing some money to resettle some victims after the epidemic.

“Thank you everyone for coming to enjoy the flowers here in this county!”

Everyone looked at each other. Magistrate Zhao is famous for being picky and ignorant. When will he be in the mood to invite people to enjoy the flowers, let alone at this stage of the epidemic? Give it to ghosts, ghosts won’t believe it.

No one said a word, no one wanted to be the first fish to be slaughtered.

The county magistrate is not a vegetarian. At this time, he will not wait for these fat fish to sign up automatically. He will take the initiative to let these merchants expose their wealth to achieve his own goals.

"Mr. Chen, is the business of the silk and satin shop going well?"

Chen Yuanwai did not expect that the county magistrate would be the first to get involved with her, and then he used the same old trick, crying about poverty, crying about poverty: "Where is it? The situation this year is very bad. There are several silk cloth shops in the town. I am here." The silk cloth shop has been losing tens of thousands of taels of silver, and now it can’t even pay the rent of the house.”

How could the county magistrate not know the habits of Chen Yuanwai? In addition to crying about poverty, he also found ways to evade taxes and was unwilling to pay taxes. In addition, he deducted wages from workers. 15 pennies, but he tried to get the workers to get less than five pennies. In this way, the workers had to do everything in the store, even the work at home was done by the store employees.

"Okay, don't cry about being poor. For so many years, not only have you not paid taxes, but when it's time to pay taxes, you have made excuses to go to other places to purchase goods. You have been closed for more than a month. Forget it, there are also workers who keep coming to report. , saying that you deliberately deducted workers’ wages, causing two workers in your store to starve to death because their families ran out of rice. Is this true?”

Chen Yuanwai had accumulated some money and opened a silk shop and a bank in the town. He heard that he also had business in the provincial capital. He was a real invisible rich man. When he heard that the county magistrate asked him to provide money, he immediately I started crying.

When the county magistrate said this, the crowd became quiet for a while, and Yuan Chen did not dare to howl anymore.

"You are deducting workers' wages, and this county has not found fault with you. Now, it is the time when this county is experiencing a disaster. Why, you can't even come up with some rice? In this case, then simply How about letting all these disaster victims come to your home?"

When Chen Yuanwai looked up and saw the dense crowd of people outside, his head felt a little swollen, and then he said: "Sir, how much silver do you need? There are so many businessmen here, why can't I be the one to provide the money?" "

A man's voice came from the crowd: "Sir, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this. We all know that Mr. Chen has not paid taxes for so many years. We are at least conscientious taxpayers. If you do this, I'm afraid there will be some consequences." Unfair?"
