Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

After learning first aid, the group of health team members continued on their way towards Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing and his party wore long faces as they watched the health team getting closer and closer to them.

Before they could speak, Captain Wang saw them and sized them up and down, curiously asking, "Why are you all standing outside in the rain? Why didn't you go inside to take shelter?"

"Cough, cough... We are new to this ward. On the way, we encountered a woman with a sudden illness who also has a child. May I ask where there is a clinic?"

Emperor Jing was a little embarrassed and did not directly answer Captain Wang's question.

"There are no clinics open in this weather! Continue walking a few steps forward, and there is a Wanfeng Restaurant. It is an official resettlement point. You can go there to take shelter from the rain first. There is also a resident doctor arranged inside!"

"I won't talk to you anymore, we're leaving!" As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Wang hurriedly prepared to leave.

Emperor Jing quickly reached out and stopped him, "What are you doing, officers?"

"It's nothing! The drainage ditches in the front wards are not cleared, causing large areas of flooding. I heard that some people's houses have collapsed. We are rushing to rescue people and clear the drainage."

After speaking, he pulled down his rain hat and ran in the opposite direction from Emperor Jing without waiting for him to ask any further questions.

Emperor Jing and his party felt a little strange... These people seem quite normal. Who would have thought that on the street... it's really strange!

Following Captain Wang's directions, Emperor Jing walked towards the Wanfeng Restaurant in front. Before long, he saw the Wanfeng Restaurant's signboard.

From the doorway, he could vaguely see lights inside, and there were also many voices, seemingly lively.

Emperor Jing pushed the door open and walked in. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, a welcoming waiter greeted him enthusiastically.

With a beaming face, he said, "How many of you, esteemed guests? Please come inside!"

Looking at the scene inside the restaurant, Emperor Jing was a little surprised at how many people there were.

Many people were sitting around tables, with four small tables pieced together to form one large table. There were dishes, melon seeds, snacks, and other things on the tables.

The restaurant was afraid of the cold weather, so they had lit stoves in the room, making it warm and cozy.

The diners were chatting happily and lively, but apart from some individual customers, the crowd was vaguely divided into two factions.

One group was clearly scholars, while the other group was very casual, interspersing their speech with many vulgar words.

Seeing that Emperor Jing didn't speak, the waiter took the initiative and said, "Oh, esteemed guests, I see that your clothes are all wet. The restaurant has some coarse cloth clothes. Would you like to change into them first? We can take your wet clothes away and help you dry them?"

Emperor Jing smiled. He didn't expect that the waiter in an ordinary small restaurant would be so thoughtful.

"Does the restaurant have a doctor? We have a patient... Please find someone to take a look. We will not pay a penny less for the silver."

The waiter turned his head and shouted towards an old man with a white beard in the crowd, "Hey, look at what you're saying, what's with the money? Doctor Xie, there's a patient! Please quickly bring the patient in."

Emperor Jing was a little confused. Don't need money, are the folk customs so simple and honest?

But he didn't think much about it. With a wave of his hand, two guards went to the carriage and carried the woman and child into the restaurant.

Doctor Xie stroked his beard and chuckled, "Finally, a patient has arrived. I've been idle these past few days."

After speaking, he immediately went to take the woman's pulse. After taking it for a while, he shook his head and said regretfully, "Tsk, boring. It's just a minor injury plus qi and blood deficiency. Waiter, prepare some honey water for her to drink and restore her vitality."

"Send her to the side room. After she wakes up, she can eat something good. The child is the same, no big problem!"

After speaking, Doctor Xie walked away with his hands behind his back.

When Emperor Jing heard this, he was relieved and found an empty table to sit down. Li Yansong and the others followed.

Before long, the waiter came over with a stack of cloth clothes for Emperor Jing and the others. After the group changed into dry cloth clothes, they sat down at a table again.

Zheng Qiao exclaimed, "Good! Very good! The folk customs are simple and honest! It's been a long time since I've been here. The changes in Banshan Ward are so great."

"I always hear outsiders say how this place is, but it's really better to see it for yourself!"

Emperor Jing smiled, his smile a little gratified.

"Waiter! Warm up two pots of wine!"

The waiter responded and soon brought over a lot of food and two pots of hot wine and ginger soup and put them in front of Emperor Jing's table.

Emperor Jing was surprised, "We didn't order food?"

The waiter smiled slyly, "Just eat it, our food and accommodation are free these days! Eat as much as you can!"

"The government will pay for the silver!"

Li Yansong asked curiously, "What? Are you saying that the government is treating everyone in this restaurant to eat?"

"Yes! That's right. These days, there have been severe rainstorms, and many temporary outposts have been set up in the ward. All consumption in the store is paid for by the government."

"So, just eat with peace of mind. I'll bring you a plate of candied fruit later."

"That candied fruit is not ordinary! It was sent by Chen Ji's grocery store next door. It has been blessed by a high monk! I heard that they still have Blood Bodhi for sale, but those are treasures of the store."

After speaking, the waiter smacked his lips, imagining the taste of Blood Bodhi in his mind.

Emperor Jing asked suspiciously, "Is the government also paying for things next door?"

"That's not the case. Chen Ji is very shrewd. It's just that he hasn't had any business these past two days, so he's taking advantage of our convenience to do some publicity here. If you eat well, you can go directly to their house to buy, right? Alas, that's why people can make a fortune, they just have this brain!"

Emperor Jing nodded repeatedly, picked up the ginger soup on the table, and drank it all in one gulp, immediately feeling a warm current surging through his body.

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

"The arrangements are detailed and appropriate. Fang Zhengzhi and Yuan Zhao have not disappointed me."

Li Yansong and the others nodded repeatedly while drinking the ginger soup.

Comfortable! These past days have been terrible. Now to be able to drink a bowl of ginger soup in the restaurant and eat some hot food, wonderful!

After soaking in the water for so long and walking such a long way, the few people were already hungry.

After Emperor Jing started eating, everyone began to eat. While eating, everyone did not speak, but just listened to the diners in the restaurant talking about the world.

Some were talking about operas, some were discussing Jianghu affairs, and some were lamenting the collapse of their houses. All aspects of the people were here.

Halfway through the meal, an accident happened.

Captain Wang, whom they had met on the street before, hurriedly pushed open the door.

He shouted loudly to the crowd in the restaurant, "The houses in the next ward have collapsed! We don't have enough manpower. Is there anyone who can come and help!"

After waiting for a while without a response, Captain Wang anxiously shouted again, "Is there anyone who can come and help? Are you all useless!"

One of the scholars stood up suddenly, "Stop shouting! I'll go!"

"One person is not enough! A few more!"

The scholar said to the people at the same table, "Do you all want to go together?"

The person next to him pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Brother Shen, it's raining heavily outside. You just dried off and you'll get wet again."

Shen Yi shook off his hand and said, "Wet is wet! Is human life important or clothes important! If you don't go, then I'll go!"

Seeing him take a big step forward and leave, the people at the same table were embarrassed to sit down again, and they stood up and said, "We'll go too!"

Captain Wang grinned, "Good! Enough people, don't delay, follow me quickly!"

Then a group of scholars swarmed out of the restaurant following Captain Wang.

Master Ji Er, who was sitting not far away, looked at Captain Wang's back and suddenly slammed his wine glass on the table.

"Brothers, let's go! We'll go too!"

A group of younger brothers were taken aback, "Boss, let them go, there are enough people, isn't it good for us to drink?"

Master Ji Er whispered, "Are you stupid?"

"Now the gangsters in the North City have been almost wiped out by us. If the government wants to investigate in the future, we will be the only ones beaten. No one will be able to escape at that time!"

"Take advantage of the disaster relief opportunity to let the government see us, so that we can transform in the future. I can run away anytime by myself."

"Who the hell am I doing this for! Isn't it for you?"

A group of younger brothers stood in awe, "Boss, you are so righteous!!"

Master Ji Er grinned, "It's good that you know, brothers, follow me!"

A group of hooligans swarmed out of the restaurant and ran to the disaster relief...
