Chapter 205 I have been waiting for you for a long time
"When was your son conscripted to build the reservoir?"

"It's been a year."

One of them began to wipe away tears, "Since being conscripted, there has been no news."

"Even if you are unfortunately drowned in the flood, it would be great if you can find the body and take it home for burial..." The woman's voice became choked up as she spoke, and she could no longer speak.

Jun Qinghan cast down his eyes, and ordered Bailihe, "Take people to the county office first, and count the number of missing people."

"Yes."

Not long after Bailihe brought the people in, another group of people rushed over and gathered in front of the county government office.

"Your Majesty, last time you asked someone to count the number of people, is it to provide for poor people like us?"

"My lord, there are elders and younger ones in the women's family. Now that the head of the family is gone, how should our family live..."

"Don't worry, the pension will be paid out one by one."

Regardless of whether the flooding of the reservoir is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, for these ordinary people, the most urgent thing they need to solve is the issue of livelihood.

Therefore, he asked Bailihe to follow him that day mainly to count the death toll and appease the people.

As for the flood in the reservoir, we haven't spared time to investigate yet.

While talking, there was a shallow sound of horseshoes not far away.

Jun Qinghan looked up, and the corner of his mouth hooked slightly.

Pensioners, here we come.

"Yu..." After a while, the maroon carriage slowly stopped in front of the county government office.

Master Chen stepped forward and opened the curtain of the carriage, and the handsome Feng Shoushi stepped out of the carriage.

He glanced at Jun Qinghan standing in front of the vermilion lacquered gate, and hurried forward with two clumsy short legs.

When the people in front of the county government saw Feng Shoushi in official uniform and hat, their faces were full of awe, and they subconsciously stepped aside.

For ordinary people, the crimson official robe makes people subconsciously fear.

Feng Shoushi walked up to Jun Qinghan, bowed and saluted, "I have seen the son of Murong."

"Inspector Feng, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Jun Qinghan said coldly.

When Feng Shoushi heard these words, his heart skipped a beat, he glanced at the iron mask cautiously, and became apprehensive.

Seeing him stunned, Master Chen secretly reminded, "My lord, silver, silver..."

Feng Shoushi suddenly understood, "Move the things down."

Then, he flatteringly said to Jun Qinghan, "Murong Shizi, as the official of the parents of Jingzhou, the construction of the reservoir was caused by the improper handling of the matter by the lower official, which caused casualties of the people. The lower official brought the silver taels today, so I distributed them door-to-door. Go down and comfort the people."

This sentence immediately exploded a thunder in the crowd.

This Mr. Feng actually came to give the pension!
For a while, the crowd began to whisper, and most of them showed excitement on their faces, but some people became more and more frowning.

It has been half a month since the reservoir accident, and this Master Feng is willing to show up. Does he really want to pay the pension?

"Master Feng, the pension has been delayed for so long, each household will receive one tael more, and those with orphans and widows will receive an additional ten tael."

"This..." Feng Shoushi was surprised.

The 1000 taels was the amount he calculated carefully, if there were more, he might have to go back to the government to get the silver.

In this way, not only his wife would make a fuss with him, but he himself would not be willing to do so. Every extra tael of silver would be cutting his flesh!
"What, is there a problem?" Jun Qinghan frowned.

"My lord, Jingzhou is remote and barren. It's Qingshui Yamen. I'm an official..." Feng Shoushi was in a dilemma.
