Chapter 529 Earthquake (2) ([-])
"Okay, I'll go. You distribute the relief money and food as soon as possible."

Liu Tongzhi made a bow, "Thank you, madam." He also asked his wife to go, but Mrs. Liu said that the victims of the disaster were too scary, and she was afraid that they would be unreasonable and collide.He said that he was old and sick.This Mrs. Wei was very straightforward and straightforwardly agreed to go.In fact, this should be a man's business.However, he went and failed to suppress the emotionally unstable victims.

Shen Ji went out in a carriage, but before he got halfway, someone came to snatch the carriage.Old Zhao's whip was powerful, and he danced vigorously. He roared: "This is the magistrate's wife's carriage, who dares to snatch it?"

Clover in the carriage also took a sword to protect Shen Ji, and the guards and servants around the carriage immediately protected the carriage airtight.

Shen Ji opened the curtain and looked outside, there was a group of victims in ragged clothes, just outside the guards and servants.With so many people, the imperial court really couldn't accommodate them.But if you think about it, it's not impossible to set up a tent in an open place outside the city.Could it be that the wealthy households in the city fled one after another, making people panic and the victims not listening?
Someone outside asked: "Is it really the magistrate's wife? Didn't you say that the magistrate's wife ran away by boat?"

Shen Ji smiled loudly, "Of course I am the magistrate's wife, you should know that the magistrate is only my wife, and it is true."

"It's Madam Zhifu. I've met her before. A few days ago, I had porridge with Madam Zhifu at the Compassion Society."

Shen Ji has been busy outside for more than ten days, and he is still a little famous.Many people heard that even the magistrate's wife ran away, and that the rich and powerful people in Yangzhou Prefecture all fled in big boats.That's when the clamor started to go to the street and rush in to grab rich people when they saw them.Thinking that if you have money, you can run easily.They were dispersed by the officers and soldiers just now, and a group of people came to the street and saw the gorgeous carriage and rushed over. They didn't expect it to be the prefect's wife who had long escaped by boat as rumored.For a while, the crowd slowly fell silent.Occasionally, when a few people spoke, they were also introducing the behavior of the magistrate's wife to others.

Shen Ji raised his eyebrows, saying that he is someone who will be taken in by compassion.Why did you run to the street?

"I remember you, why did you come to the street? Why, my child was sick and didn't go to the Compassionate Meeting for two days, and then he didn't even care about food?"

It turned out that the child at home was sick, so it's no wonder he didn't go.

The person who just answered replied: "It doesn't matter, it's just that some people say that they are just coaxing us and keeping people in the city." Then they said something that the imperial court is going to abandon Yangzhou Mansion and rebuild it in the future.

Shen Ji was dumbfounded, the rumors were terrible.These people in front of them are not wise men, they are just poor people who have been homeless because of the disaster.No wonder they were terrified when they heard these things being said.Then I saw the big and wealthy households who had not suffered any disasters, and the whole family fled, so I believed it was true.This Liu Tongzhi, he should stop those big households.This is not the source of the earthquake, and there is no danger to life.Thinking of this, she couldn't help worrying about Wei Ying who was at the epicenter.

"Who is talking nonsense? Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times, and the imperial court is not willing to do so. Besides, although Yangzhou Mansion looks dilapidated now, it is just affected. The so-called ten rooms and nine empties are even more nonsense. My two children and I They are still living in the back house of the government office, and the family members of the officials of the state government are also there. The prefect is still resettling the victims of the hardest-hit area at the earthquake source more than 200 miles away. I am going to the Compassion Society. Hearing what you said, the road is quite unsafe. I wonder if you will open the way for me? Let's clarify this matter together, so as to save everyone from being so panic-stricken. We are all good citizens, how can we start a house robbery? Here comes the matter."

Someone asked hesitantly: "Then we already...will the Yamen arrest us?"

Shen Ji thought for a while, if he wanted to pursue it, there would be even more trouble.Those wealthy households ran away by themselves, and they deserved their homes being robbed.So he said with a smile: "You are just so hungry that you went to a rich man's house to eat a few meals, what's the matter. It's just that you can pass it. If I make it clear, the imperial court will not leave you alone. Disaster relief The money and food have been allotted, and Liu Tongzhi is counting and preparing to distribute. If you make any trouble after this, the national law will not be merciful!"

Although the disaster victims surrounded by the carriage couldn't see Shen Ji's true face, they could hear her laughing and talking, Yan Yan, and there were evidences from some disaster victims nearby, knowing that she was a magistrate's wife who loved the people like a child. Her appearance was enough to show that it was a rumor that the imperial court didn't want Yangzhou Mansion, so she relaxed and agreed to open the way for Shen Ji to go to the Compassion Society.

This road was the same as collecting rout soldiers, and it also took in a lot of victims, and the mighty flow of adults flowed to the Compassion Society, which seemed very orderly.Shen Ji couldn't help being amused, he was afraid that the imperial concubine and empress would not have the pomp she had when she went on tour.It's just that the carriages in front of the people are followed by guards of honor, and the ones surrounded by their own carriages are all victims in ragged clothes.

However, if you just fight for popularity, you will win!

In fact, she was not afraid that the victims would be unreasonable, so she robbed her directly. She also prepared two light kung fu masters.When she asked just now, who would come out with her, these Jiang Hu people who were usually raised by Wei Ying, whose wives and children were placed in tents by Shen Ji, stood up.With this confidence, she has nothing to be afraid of.

When he arrived at the Compassion Society, Shen Ji found a high platform and asked the angry old Zhao Tou, who was behind the inner strength, to help him shout.

"If you are worried that I will turn around and run away, you can send someone to guard the gate of the government office. I will be at the Compassion Society in the morning and in the back house of the government office in the afternoon. After all, I still have two young children to take care of, so I can't I don’t stay at home all day. My children and I are in Yangzhou Mansion, and the magistrate is at the epicenter of the earthquake. If so, what do you have to worry about? To keep you safe, the magistrate doesn’t have to let our mothers stay. Alright , each go back to the place where they were accommodated, and tell everyone what I just said. Wait with peace of mind, Liu Tongzhi will immediately distribute the relief money and food to the porridge sheds. We must not let everyone go hungry or cold. If you have any difficulties, just go to the Compassion Society Or the back house of the government office wants to talk to me. The gatekeeper dare not stop me!"

On this day, Shen Ji stayed on the tall building of the Compassionate Society, and the victims felt at ease when they saw that slim figure from a distance.On the way back, there were two people from the rivers and lakes discussing, "Madam is really courageous. I was sweating in that alley before, but she was fearless and talked to the victims."

"This kind of woman really doesn't look like an official's wife. She is a bit heroic, like a woman from a family of Jianghu."
