Forced to become the uncle's apex

Chapter 68
As he talked, he knelt down with snot and tears: "Please, please forgive my brother, we are the ones who don't know Mount Tai..."

"Second boy! A man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel down at will!" Zhao Hu said hastily.

Qin Zhen glanced lightly, "Have you ever studied?"

The second child was taken aback, and nodded hurriedly: "I studied for a few years, but then my family fell into ruin, so I stopped studying."

"Wow...Big Brother, please let Brother Hu go. He didn't rob you for himself." At this time, the only little girl began to cry.

Immediately afterwards, the old woman stood up to help intercede, and she knelt down on the ground.

Qin Zhen frowned, slowly let go of his hand, and said lightly: "Go and find a bigger pot or jar."

Several people were taken aback for a second, but they quickly found a stone pot from the side and handed it over, looking at her in confusion.

Qin Zhen sighed, shook half of the rice out of the bag, and looked at these people with straight eyes.

Then he pulled off the girl's clothes and poured the rest into it.

"Go and get some water to make a fire, that's all I have to eat."

If it was made into porridge, it would be enough for them to have a full meal.

Zhao Hu took a deep breath and stared at her blankly, "You...you give us all the food?"

They went to grab it just now and were almost killed, but now she took the initiative to take out such good rice for them to eat?

Where is this song from?
Qin Zhen glanced at him, "No?"

"I want it! But there are so many at once, it's too wasteful." He said with some regret.If you distribute it properly, you can eat it for at least three days.

"Eat to be full."

Qin Zhen said, took off the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, and started looking for hay inside.

But the weather has been so wet recently that it's hard to find dry straw.

Looking at her thin back, Zhao Hu frowned, suddenly.

"Pfft..."

He straightened his back and fell to his knees.

Qin Zhen turned her head and looked at him expressionlessly. Just now she said that the man had gold under his knees, but he knelt down for her in a blink of an eye. Some people really find it hard to understand.

"Thank you, young hero, for your help. From now on, as long as you need it, I, Zhao Fu, Zhao Hu, and I will do whatever it takes!"

"I, Zhao Niu, too!"

"Okay, it's just a meal, get up."

Qin Zhen handed the hay to the woman who was tidying up, and found a clean place to sit down: "I don't need you to do anything, but I have something to ask you."

The two brothers hurriedly got up and came over, the faces of the two Chinese characters were full of joy, "Just ask, as long as we know, we will tell you, no! If we don't know, we will ask you."

Seeing that other people were already busy preparing to cook porridge, Qin Zhen asked calmly: "I remember that the court sent the third prince to come to rescue the disaster a few days ago. Why are there so many refugees here?"

"Disaster relief?! Speaking of this, I will get angry!"

Zhao Niu gritted his teeth and said, "It's not bad that they came to provide disaster relief. At first, I thought it was real disaster relief. That bullshit prince left the porridge for two days and disappeared!"

"Second, don't talk nonsense." Zhao Hu scolded, frowned and said: "I think this matter is strange."

"How?" Qin Zhen asked calmly.

Zhao Hu thought for a while, and recalled: "When the prince first came, he brought a lot of food and grass, and promised to resettle the refugees. The few days when the porridge was given out was fine, and everyone who had food naturally didn't make trouble."

"But the strange thing is that two days later, there were bandits smashing and looting at Shuijia Bend. When they had to go to suppress it, the refugees there suddenly rioted. It was said that the prince had ulterior motives, and he was obviously here to relieve the disaster. They want to appease us first, and then seal up and burn the whole city."

"Since ancient times, after floods, corpses have been scattered all over the field. If it is not handled properly, there will be epidemics at any time. And there are already people in Shuijiawan who have been infected with the disease. In addition, the gate of Huainan is indeed closed, and those people immediately rioted. .”

"Actually, that's all. At that time, I was far away, but I also saw many good fighters among the refugees surrounding the prince, at least hundreds of people. If he really wanted to do that, he probably wouldn't dare to burn the city blatantly. "

"Brother, were you there?" Zhao Niu asked in a daze.

Zhao Hu nodded, "At that time, I heard that they went to Shuijiawan to put food, so I wanted to get some back, and I saw this scene."

It has to be said that Qin Zhen was really lucky, and happened to meet such an insider, so she said seriously, "Tell me about what happened later."

Zhao Hu gave her a strange look, but continued without asking any questions: "That prince is not a vegetarian, and the guards under him are all extremely powerful."

"Although there are many rioters, they didn't get any benefits for a while, so they took innocent refugees as hostages, and wanted them to be caught without a fight."

"It will be messy, and I don't dare to get too close. I only know that the county magistrate, the governor, and several other high-ranking officials arrived with officers and soldiers. I was afraid of being affected, so I ran away."

Zhao Niu's eyes narrowed, "Could it be that they are guarding each other and want to kill this prince... No, that's the prince. If he really died in our Huainan, wouldn't the emperor be furious?"

He really hit the point. If Si Wuji really died here, it would be good for the emperor not to set off fireworks to celebrate. At most, he would find a few scapegoats and say that he died in the line of duty.

And maybe these people are not just the officials protecting each other, otherwise Si Wuji was well prepared this time, how could he be injured or even lost contact?

"Do you know where the grain, grass and medicinal materials brought by Si... the third prince are now?" Qin Zhen asked.

Zhao Hu shook his head, "If it were me, I would definitely not put it in the county government or the governor's office."

Qin Zhen nodded approvingly. Seeing that this person was young, he analyzed the matter clearly and logically.

"Has there been a disease at Shuijiabend?" Qin Zhen asked again.

Zhao Hu nodded solemnly, "And it was already a few days ago. In addition, there was a heavy rain a few days ago, and many corpses were washed into the river. Now a lot of water is unusable. I guess it won't be another three to five days." , it will spread.”

"Damn it! The imperial court simply doesn't treat the common people as human beings!" Zhao Niu slammed the ground hard, gritted his teeth and growled.

The others just looked at him numbly, as if they were used to it.

Zhao Hu sneered: "It's not bad to treat us like pigs and dogs. These days, if things can't be resolved, bigger riots are still to come."

Saying that, he gave Qin Zhen a meaningful look, "Are you from Kyoto?"

Qin Zhen didn't hide anything, and nodded slightly. With his intelligence, it was not difficult to guess.

"The porridge is ready."

At this time, a woman said, for a while, everyone gathered around and looked at the stone pot.

They didn't have any containers, they were all broken bowls picked up here, and the ones that were a little better took a better tile.
