Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 210 Drought in Yun County (4)

Pei Yuyan turned her back, and already had some concerns in her mind, saying that Mulian was also sent to her by Huang Youcai, and she had heard Xuanji mention Mulian's affection for Wu Danqing, but she didn't take it to heart at the time. Now it seems that it is true.

Although she doesn't know all Mulian's thoughts, it may not be a bad thing for Mulian to like Angkor.

"Mulian, you're still going to Yunjun, but you'll have to wait until Yixun comes back, then go."

"Yes, Miss." Mulian got up and stood up straight this time, not daring to do it again.

Unexpectedly, that night, Pei Yuyan woke up from his dream in a sweat, and shouted, "Brother Ang!"

Mu Lian, who heard the sound, lit up all the palace lanterns, walked quickly to Pei Yuyan's bed, and asked softly, "Miss, what's the matter?"

Pei Yuyan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, shook his head and said softly, "It's just a nightmare!"

She rubbed her forehead along the way, the scene just now seemed real, still vivid in her mind, the fire in her dream trapped Wu Danqing, but she couldn't rush in, she could only watch helplessly as Wu Danqing was engulfed by the fire, but powerless.

no!This time, she will not allow others to hurt him again!

"Mulian, don't wait for Yixun to come back, you're going to Yun County tomorrow, you must protect Brother Ang, and tell me his every move, otherwise, I won't be relieved!"

"Yes." Mu Lian took out a towel to wipe off the sweat from Pei Yuyan's forehead, and said, "Miss, you can go to sleep again, I will watch over you here, and I will leave when the sun comes out."

"Okay, you go as soon as the sun breaks. You don't have to wake me up. You must protect Brother Ang." Pei Yuzhe ordered Mulian, and then lay down again anxiously.

When Mu Lian arrived in Qi County, Wu Danqing and his party hadn't left, because Wu Danqing insisted on finding out the disaster funds in Qi County.

Wu Danqing gathered the masters of Qi County and important households in the county on the largest square in the county, and many people came to watch the fun.

Seeing so many people gathered around, Wu Danqing gritted his teeth and asked loudly, "This time the imperial court allocated funds for the disaster. I would like to ask everyone how much food the county magistrate distributed to you."

In the originally silent group of people, it suddenly seemed like a pot had exploded, and almost everyone was as flesh and blood.

Finally an old man came out and said, "Back to the imperial envoy, the dog official of the county magistrate only gave each of us three months' rations! Now we drink rice soup every meal and eat grass roots, bark, and leaves To survive the day, we are only willing to cook a meal of porridge if we are extremely hungry. But even if we do this, we will not be able to make it to the harvest time next year! Please, the imperial envoy, make the decision for us!"

Wu Danqing and Lu Boqi looked at each other, Wu Danqing immediately turned his head and asked the master, "How much money did the county guard allocate to your county magistrate?"

The master's face changed drastically, and he knelt down on the ground. He burst into tears and said, "When the funds were allocated for the drought this time, I, the county magistrate, and the guard Yang from the sheriff's office counted together, and the total was only 100 taels of silver. , it’s not enough for the common people’s food rations for three months, the county magistrate pays for it himself.”

He wiped away his tears, and said again, "The governor said that the embezzlement of disaster funds in Yun County will definitely alarm the court, let the people live for three months, and things will definitely turn around. But, unexpectedly... The county magistrate, he..."

At this point, the master was sobbing and couldn't speak a complete sentence.
