What Lou Rongrong could think of, Ying Ze could naturally think of, and his expression became more and more serious.

There are very few people who know about Ying Ze's private patrols, and almost all of them are people whom Ying Ze deeply believes in. How did the other party get the news?

And just in time for them to rest at the sheep soup restaurant, and the previous behavior of the owner and his wife was not abnormal, as if the other party had learned about their itinerary and happened to be nearby, so they hurried over to poison them.

When the whereabouts are clearly revealed, and then go to Ji County, which was severely affected by the disaster, it is tantamount to knowing that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, but you want to plunge into the danger.

The other party deliberately hung up the corpses of the owner and his wife. Apart from being provocative and threatening, he probably also didn't want them to go to the disaster area, so he warned them to return.

Before Ying Ze said anything, Zheng Baisheng at the side became worried, leaned over and whispered to Ying Ze:

"Young master, the son of a thousand gold can't sit down, look..."

In the sight of everyone, Ying Ze's face was ugly, but he didn't listen to Zheng Baisheng's advice, instead he sneered and said:

"If they think that such a small plan can scare me, they are too self-righteous. They want to stop me from going, and I am going. Just come!"

There are other words, because there are strangers present, Ying Ze didn't say it, but everyone heard his implication:

If the king of a country gives up going to rescue his people just because the road ahead is dangerous, then what kind of king is he?It would be better to be a waste who eats and waits to die every day.

Therefore, even though they knew that it might not be safe in the future, when everyone heard Ying Ze's decision, although they all looked worried, no one spoke out to persuade him.

Lou Rongrong turned to salute the old man and the boy, apologizing:

"I'm really sorry, the old gentleman met me by chance, but he gave me a good prescription and gave me a diagnosis and treatment. I thought that the convoy would go on the same road with you, and it was a great effort to send you a ride. Who would have expected such a thing to happen... I'm afraid the road ahead is not peaceful. If you two walk with us again, your lives may be in danger. If you don't dislike it, we can leave a good horse behind, and maybe we can help you walk better in the snow... "

Although the young man didn't know their identities, but judging from their words and deeds, combined with the incident of being poisoned, he could more or less react to it. I am afraid that their identities are not as simple as merchants.

But on the contrary, the boy didn't agree on the spot. Instead, he looked at the old man and saw that the old man nodded, so he turned to Lou Rongrong and said:

"Miss said earlier that she went out of Beijing to the disaster area to relieve the disaster and save the people, but is she telling the truth?"

Lou Rongrong was stunned:

"It's the truth, otherwise my brother and sister wouldn't have to leave Beijing with so much coal."

The boy then nodded, showing a gentle smile and said:

"Since that's the case, the teacher and I can't abandon everyone and go alone. Take the two of us with us. At least if the poison like today appears again, the teacher and I will be able to identify it in time. In this way, you will be less threatened, right? Is it?"

Lou Rongrong was slightly taken aback, and raised her eyes to look at the young man, seeing that the young man's expression was determined, and there was some indescribable tenacity in his amber eyes, knowing that the two of them would not change their minds, so she also slightly bent her lips, With a light smile:

"Then thank you both for your help."

The young man was dazzled by that smile for a moment, and his heart trembled inexplicably. When he realized it again, Lou Rongrong had already restrained his smile, and turned to discuss the next itinerary with others.

Although the owner and his wife died, and the two men ran out in fright, the cattle and sheep on the farm were still there.

Because the original mutton soup was poisoned, everyone had to throw it away, and then re-slaughtered a few sheep and roasted them to eat. Even Lou Rongrong felt that the mutton might not be fully cooked when he finally ate it.

But there is no way, everyone has been walking for a day, and they are already hungry. Even Ying Ze, who lives the most extravagant life on weekdays, has not carefully processed his food, but simply sprinkled some salt and cumin, and his mouth is full of mutton. When the mutton came, he also devoured it voraciously, swallowing it without even tasting the meat.

After filling their stomachs, they rested in the hall for a day, got up at the next day, and continued on their way to Ji County.

After walking for about an hour, the heavy snow that fell for more than ten days finally stopped gradually, but the sun was still covered by the gray sky, and only some light could be seen faintly.

The snow has stopped, but the road has become more difficult to walk, because in some places, farmers have trampled on it, forming a thin layer of ice, which is more slippery. white.

Probably because the environment was too harsh, everyone was vigilant all the way, but they did not encounter any obstruction or ambushes. They traveled without any danger until the evening, and the convoy finally approached Ji County, and they could already see the houses in the distance.

Ying Ze lifted the curtain of the car and watched from a distance for a long time, but gradually frowned.

When the convoy arrived on the street and there were pedestrians walking around, Ying Ze beckoned to Zheng Baisheng and gave some instructions. Zheng Baisheng understood, so he quickly stopped a citizen passing by carrying a wooden ladder, and asked:

"Excuse me folks, didn't you say that the imperial court sent people to help the disaster? Why did I see that everyone was at home and didn't go to collect it?"

The man was already in a hurry, and it was obvious that the house at home had collapsed. He was very anxious and irritable. Hearing this, he even touched the point of anger, and he sneered and said:

"Disaster relief? What kind of disaster relief? Who will come to provide disaster relief? Those blue sky masters are busy counting money, who will care whether we are hungry or cold?"

He didn't explain a word after he finished speaking, even if he left angrily, Zheng Baisheng couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to turn his head back and inform Ying Ze of the situation just now.

Ying Ze's face turned cold:

"Three days ago, Gu issued an order, ordering Si Nong Temple to quickly distribute charcoal fire and rice grains to the affected people. What is the household department doing for food? Hasn't it brought out charcoal grains until now? Or did Si Nong Temple dare to neglect it?" Does the government do it?"

Lou Rongrong at the side heard it in his ears, and suddenly said:

"Grandpa Zheng, please ask a few more households to see if anyone has received the charcoal fire and rice grains distributed by Sinong Temple, as well as the collapse of houses and the sudden death of livestock. compensate."

Zheng Baisheng went in response, and after a while, he came back and said to the two:

"The old slave asked, and the people nearby said they hadn't received it, but there was a woman who said that she had met the officials of Sinong Temple, and seemed to want to come to record the situation of the people's homes, but the people were late because of the court. Disaster relief, deep grievances, unwilling to let them in, drove people away."

Lou Rongrong asked:

"Do you know where this person is now?"

Zheng Baisheng hurriedly responded:

"The old slave asked, and said that it should be in the county office not far ahead."
