Chapter 155
"Everyone listen to me, don't panic, don't walk around at will, all stay at the porridge shed, we will give porridge and medicine right away."

The first wave of refugees had already arrived in Niujia Town, but fortunately they were well prepared. Wearing an official uniform, Wei Tong told the refugees over and over again to avoid chaos.

Yun Wan was cooking porridge in front of the big iron pot, while Hong Ru was cooking medicine beside him, seemingly orderly, but in fact only the two of them knew whether they were tired or not.

"Will this porridge really be given to us?"

A thin woman among the refugees asked, all they met along the way were officials who ignored them, and there was something to eat when they arrived, it was really hard to believe.

Yun Wan wiped the sweat from her head, and said with a friendly smile: "Everyone, don't worry, when you arrive in Niujia Town, you will be home, just wait patiently, the porridge will be ready soon."

"That's really great, we got here by eating grass and bark all the way." The woman said while wiping away her bitter tears.

Seeing this, Yun Wan also felt very uncomfortable. She has a deep understanding of what it feels like not to be full, and now she only hopes that the porridge can be cooked soon.

Looking at the refugees, Wei Tong understood in his heart that these people were deliberately lured here. Although the disaster in Niujia Town had not been reported to the imperial court to ask for relief food, the higher authorities knew about it, so they deliberately lured the refugees here in order to let Niujia Town There is a commotion in the town, and it seems that there is a big mouse here.

"Everyone line up, everyone has a share, so don't rush!"

After the porridge was ready, the refugees rushed forward, and Yun Wan was very embarrassed holding the porridge spoon.

Seeing this, Mu Zhiyuan led his policemen to maintain order, so that the team barely lined up.

"No, I think there is a gap here. There are no rats in our town. The rats should be among the refugees."

A word from Mu Xuan shocked Wei Tong as if waking up from a dream. He looked at the refugees with bright eyes, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw that everyone seemed to be suffering from hunger and cold. If they were really among the refugees, it would be troublesome. !

"Drag Zhang Zheng out of the prison and tie him to the gate of the yamen, let him watch carefully, and see how many people he has harmed!"

Gu Fei's angry words were wrong, but Wei Tong felt that if he tied Zhang Zheng here, the rats who got in among the refugees would show suspicion.

"Girl, I'm really hungry, can I have another bowl!"

At this moment, each of the refugees has been allocated porridge, and some people have already finished the porridge in their hands, so they come to ask for it nervously.

Yun Wan chuckled lightly and said, "Of course it's fine." Then she took another spoonful.

Seeing Yun Wan being so kind, some people have the courage to serve porridge again.

"My lord, is this porridge available every day?"

When you are hungry, you will worry about whether you will have a meal or not.

Wei Tong promised with a straight face, "Don't worry, everyone, give out porridge every day, three meals a day, and never miss a meal."

"Yes, but my lord, we have a lot of people. If we are not sick, we will get there first, and there are still people behind."

After hearing this, Wei Tong frowned, but immediately relaxed it. What he has to show now is calmness, otherwise these refugees will have no idea.

"Everyone, don't worry, no matter how many people come, it's the same. Three meals a day will never stop!"

The first round of porridge was over, Yun Wan rubbed her sore wrist with a bitter look on her face, if she did this every day, she might not be able to take it anymore.

"Tired? I'll give you the porridge tonight!" Mu Zhiyuan pinched Yun Wan's arm in his hands and helped rub it.

Wei Tong couldn't sit still at this time, he walked up and down and said, "How many people are there?!"

Gu Fei and Hong Ru kept silent, the food and herbs would not be able to last long, and the capital is now so exhausted that even if they wrote a letter, they might not be able to wait for the relief money.

"There are still people, so don't wait for them to come by themselves. Let's send a car out to meet them. Anyway, we can't just sit idly by. Then we should be more generous, so that the hearts of the refugees will be stable."

Yun Wan whispered her opinion, she felt that they were coming anyway, so it would be better to welcome them with drums and gongs.

"But the food supply will be even tighter!" Wei Tong objected.

Mu Zhiyuan glanced at Yun Wan appreciatively and said: "Wan'er is right, we will send a car to meet him, so that the officials in Lin County will find it subtle and profitable, and they will fight for some refugees and share the burden. part of the pressure."

"Yes! Yes!! You two are a match made in heaven!" Wei Tong said excitedly.

Gu Fei felt that Mu Zhiyuan had regained the feeling of being in the military camp, unruffled and strategizing in the face of danger, which made his blood boil for a while.

"Okay, I'll hire two ox carts tomorrow!" Gu Fei said energetically.

Mu Xuan was shocked to see that everyone was working hard, so he couldn't fall behind.

"Wu Jin, send news to Linxian County tomorrow that Yongding Hou Shizi is here, so they will definitely think that I am sent by the court and will fight for the refugees."

After hearing this, Wu Jin hesitated and said: "Master, if you spread the news about you, I'm afraid you will be in danger. After all, that woman from Suxiu wants to get rid of you now, and she has a little prince in her belly."

"If you don't release the news, she will know that I'm here. I'm afraid that she won't make it if we have so many experts here?" Mu Xuanjing spoke firmly, and his determination was made.

On the second day, the ox cart was dispatched, and Yun Wan served porridge as usual. Her arms were sore from the exhaustion of yesterday, and today she felt her hands trembling while holding the spoon.

"Zhiyuan's family, if such a big thing happened, don't even tell someone to go back and spread the word!"

Niu Fuze brought a few people over to help. His idea was very simple. Only when these refugees stabilized could the people's hearts be stabilized. Niujia Village would also suffer if they just ignored it.

"Come on, little sister-in-law, take a break and I'll help out the porridge!"

Wang An's daughter-in-law snatched the spoon from Yunwan's hand after she finished speaking. She knew that Yunwan was weak, so she took over Yunwan's work.

"Mother, why are you here?" Yun Wan was so busy just now that no one cared about her, only now did she realize that her mother had followed her.

Yun Wanniang sweated Yun Wan with distress and said, "Of course I can't stay at home if you are so busy here."

"Zhiyuan's family, if they don't have enough people, just keep talking." After Niu Fuze said, he arranged work for the people he brought.

Seeing this, Wei Tong also expressed gratitude, and patted Niu Fuze on the shoulder in relief, and said, "The people in Niujia Village know the general idea!"

"At this time, we should be of one heart and one mind!" Niu Fuze said with a smile.To be praised by the county magistrate, he was already happy.

"Magistrate, didn't you say that Niujia Town was hit by a disaster a while ago? Why is there still so much food?"

The refugee managed to attract Wei Tong's attention as soon as he opened his mouth. He smiled kindly and said, "It's just an exaggeration to say that the disaster was suffered. Don't worry, everyone has enough food." Well, this guy is very suspicious, so he needs to be noticed.

With Niu Fuze's help, the scene was even more suppressed, and it didn't look messy at all.

"Come on! Come and help me!" Gu Fei's ox cart has already returned, and this time he picks up the seriously ill ones. After all, for these seriously ill people, any delay will be more dangerous.

"Hey? You see, I really picked up someone back. It seems that Niujia Town has enough food, so we don't have to worry about it now."

"Yes, that's great! Otherwise, I would starve to death before dying of illness!"

Seeing that the expected effect had been achieved, Wei Tong was also relieved. Stabilizing the hearts of the people is the most important thing, and we will discuss how to raise food later in the evening.

"Hey, Mr. Wei, are you busy? You just suffered a disaster, why did you take in refugees again?"

There was a lot of movement here, and the magistrates of Lin County couldn't sit still, and when they heard that Yongding Hou Shizi was here, they wanted to know if it was true or not.

"Master Ma was joking, saying that it was a disaster but it was not that serious!" Wei Tongpi said with a smirk.

Mu Xuanjing knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage, straightened his clothes, and walked out with an unusual air.

"You guys really have a lot of free time. This son is so busy, but you are just gloating?" Mu Xuanjing said and flashed his waist badge by the way.

"Don't be angry, my son. We are here to help. We will go back to set up a tent and prepare to take in some refugees."

Mu Xuanjing nodded with a serious face and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I will return to Beijing to play Emperor Bing when the refugees are settled properly. Please remember, don't hide away when things happen. It’s mostly for the imperial court to share.”

"What the prince said is very true, let's go back and make some arrangements."

Ma Zhixian took the lead in expressing his opinion, and then quickly went back to the Yamen. Of course, there is no delay in making meritorious service.

"Young master, the way you spoke just now is really a bit majestic." Wu Jin couldn't help but praise.

Mu Xuan exclaimed, but his eyes fell on Yun Wan's busy figure unconsciously, and he murmured: "She seems to have lost weight."

"Xiao Wan, don't be busy, sit down and rest for a while!"

When Yun Wanniang saw that her daughter's busy feet were not touching the ground, her heart ached terribly.

Yun Wan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'm not tired, I know I'm going to rest when I'm tired."

"Hey, that's fine, I don't know you yet!" Yun Wanniang forcefully pushed Yun Wan down on the stool.

Zhang Zheng has been tied up outside for two days. Looking at these refugees, he has complicated emotions. He is one of the chief culprits that contributed to the disaster. However, he did not expect the real Yushu to be so ruthless. If he is not used by him, he will end up like this. ?

"Master Zhixian, who is this bound person?"

When you are full, you will have leisure time, so some of the refugees have a sense of curiosity.

Wei Tong frowned and said, "This is the disciple of Master Yushu."

It was good not to say this, but as soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned scarlet, and even rushed forward to fight Zhang Zheng.

"Kill him! Kill this beast!" The refugees said in unison.

Wei Tong didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so strong, so he quickly ordered people to stop them all.

"Everyone, calm down. I caught him before he came and harmed people. Yushu Daoist has many disciples. He is not the one who harmed you."

But the refugees still didn't buy it, and one of them shouted angrily: "The disciples of Master Yushu should be killed, none of them are innocent!"

Zhang Zheng laughed miserably, he is now a mouse crossing the street.
