After hearing this, the county magistrate gradually became anxious.

He suppressed the anxiety on his face, put on a gentle smile, and said in a very excited tone: "Mrs. Shen, shouldn't we first see if there is anything wrong with your rice? If it is confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the rice, everyone will feel at ease. ”

"No matter whether you have a problem or not, everyone needs to see a doctor first. If the county magistrate continues to delay, it may affect the health of other people. Do we have to watch everyone's health getting worse and worse now? Is there any problem with worrying about rice here?" Yao Shu's tone gradually became serious.

She could not allow herself to be a county magistrate and not care about the safety of the people.

Even though I already knew that he was not a good official who cared about the people, I still couldn't help but feel disappointed when I saw him like this.

After pondering for a moment, the county magistrate finally gave in.

His expression was a bit reserved, and he quickly made amends for himself: "That's not what I meant, I just wanted to find the root cause of the problem. If Mrs. Shen doesn't want to show us whether there is anything wrong with the rice, why not let us see a doctor first. "

After speaking, he took the initiative to lead the people to see the imperial doctor.

Seeing time passing by, Yao Shu did not wait for the good news from Wang Yuanyang.

She couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She was about to ask Sun Qing, but was stopped by the county magistrate.

"Mrs. Shen, I wonder if accommodation has been arranged for the refugees. Sick people and healthy people must naturally live separately. Otherwise, if infection occurs, the situation will become more serious." The county magistrate raised his voice.

Many people turned their heads and looked over, waiting for Yao Shu's response.

At this moment, Yao Shu also knew that the restriction was deliberately delaying time, and there must be something wrong with the rice and grain.

Yao Shu calmed down and said, "What you said makes sense. I will go to the inn to ask the generals and adults how they should resettle the people."

"Don't Mrs. Shen know about this?" The county magistrate seized on this and became aggressive.

Although to Yao Shu's ears, it sounded like he was up to something evil at the moment. But Yao Shu knew that his words sounded more like genuine consideration for the people in the ears of the people.

Yao Shu sighed: "Your Majesty, the County Magistrate is too busy. I don't have any official position. This matter is of great importance. Naturally, I can't make my own decision. I also hope that the people and the County Magistrate can forgive me. I will go and ask someone right now." We will give you the results soon."

After saying that, before the county magistrate could continue to persuade her to stay, he immediately walked to the inn.

Naturally, she would not be so naive as to ask how to resettle the refugees. Of course, someone would decide this matter.

She quickly came to General Ling and told them everything about the current situation.

After saying that, he saw General Ling's face look troubled: "It is true that we have not received any relevant information so far. I have sent someone to inquire about it. I believe we will receive President Wang soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers immediately came to him.

The soldier's face was full of anxiety. It was obviously a biting winter, but he was sweating profusely.

The soldier took a deep breath and then said: "General, things are not going well. President Wang was hijacked by bandits on the way here, and all the rice and grain have been taken away. Fortunately, the lives of President Wang and others are not in danger. The reason why the bandits hijacked them this time seems to be to steal rice."

After hearing this, Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan looked at each other.

No matter how stupid they are at this moment, they still know that it must be the county magistrate who intercepted the person.

General Ling was furious and slammed the table hard. He was very angry: "This is unreasonable. How can such a thing happen in the world! As a county magistrate, despite being deeply loved by the people, he actually blocks us everywhere. It's really outrageous. Know what his intentions are."

Hearing this, Yao Shu also sighed helplessly.

"Presumably there was a problem with the previous disaster relief funds, and he has something to do with it."

Nowadays, everyone is faced with this difficult problem and has no idea how to deal with it. Rice is of great importance. If the people know that there is something wrong with the rice, they will naturally not let it go.

At that time, once it comes to the emperor, it will not just be as simple as punishment.

Disaster relief is a lucrative job. If you do it well, you can get a lot of rewards from the emperor and be promoted.

What's more, disaster relief money is a large sum of money, and some people may secretly swallow a small amount of arrears without being easily discovered.

It is precisely because of this that everyone wants to get this good job.

However, once they are found to have tampered with this, they will also face the risk of exile.

Yao Shu took a deep breath and immediately called Sun Qing to the side.

"Let's count the rice now to see how much rice is intact. Temporarily distributing this rice to everyone can also delay some time. I have asked President Wang to look for other rice grains. I believe that they will be available soon. There is news. Don't worry too much. The most important thing now is to stabilize the people's emotions." After Yao Shu finished speaking, she added, "But we must not have a head-on conflict with them."

After hearing this, General Ling couldn't help but said: "If they insist on having a head-on conflict with us, it will naturally be inevitable."

Yao Shu also nodded worriedly: "This is what I am most worried about. If everyone cannot control their intensity, it is very likely that the people will be angered."

"I will try my best to warn them, but if you are careful, someone will inevitably take advantage of it and deliberately find mistakes." General Ling sighed helplessly.

Yao Shu comforted him: "It doesn't matter. As long as we don't make any mistakes, no matter how unreasonably they make trouble, we have ways to deal with it."

Several people reached an agreement and started to act separately.

Yao Shu counted all the rice and felt a headache for a while.

"This rice is not enough to divide. The common people have been exposed to this grain all year round, so they can naturally tell how much is in it at a glance. I don't know when the rice grain that President Wang is looking for will arrive. I'm afraid we can't delay it any longer. .”

Hearing this, some people present couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that the people outside were gradually starting to talk about it, Yao Shu really had no choice but to hide inside.

She stabilized her mind and walked out slowly. Looking at the mess of everyone, she raised her voice and said: "Don't be so anxious, everyone. It also takes time for the imperial doctor to treat a disease. It just so happened that everyone took this opportunity to let the imperial doctor Check it out carefully, and if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, feel free to mention it."

Hearing this, the imperial doctor was naturally a little unhappy.
