After rebirth, I became the villain’s sister-in-law Bai Yueguang

In fact, the steward was already afraid to death.

I'm afraid these people will really run away while sailing the boat.

No matter whether he was running forward or falling backward, the person in charge was afraid.

So he came to Jiangyuan for a few days, stretched his neck on the dock, and waited for a few days.

The longer I wait, the colder my heart becomes.

Now that the floods are serious, he is also afraid that these men are not good at driving boats, so something will happen on the river.

According to common sense, this boat can travel normally on the river, but it can actually arrive in seven or eight days.

But they walked for twelve days!

It can be seen how difficult it is to walk on the river on this rainy day.

But fortunately, it's okay when he arrives. Once he arrives, he can let go of his heart and he can quickly get on the boat to hide for a while.

Jiang Wancheng and the others had already packed up and were eager to get off the boat.

The handover was smooth, and Jiang Wancheng and the others led the carriage and horses down to the pier.

When they arrived at the shore, the four girls had just gotten into the carriage, and Wen Chaoyan and the others had also loaded the boxes into the carriage. Just as they were about to leave this noisy and chaotic place, the steward in charge of the ship suddenly chased them down and shouted to stop. They said: "Gentlemen! Gentlemen, wait a minute——"

The steward walked through the crowd and panted to them.

It seemed that he wanted to make good friends with these generous guest officials, so he wanted to give them a friendly warning.

"Dear gentlemen, I see that you are carrying so much luggage and women, so you should quickly find a reliable place to stay. Also, it is best not to leave Jiangyuan County for the time being. .”

"You heard what I said, now both sides of the Li River and all the villages and towns in the Jiangyuan area have suffered disasters. I heard that many villages have been submerged, and few people have come out alive. It is really miserable! "

"Every available imperial power has been sent to fight the flood, but what's the use? Jiangyuan hasn't had such a big disaster in decades, and the entire county is burdened with an embarrassing burden!"

"Don't worry, the rain has stopped now, but I don't know when it will start raining again!"

"Also, don't worry, Jiangyuan County is okay now. That's because Jiangyuan County has a special terrain, so there won't be water accumulation here. Every time there is a heavy rain, the flowing rainwater can quickly flow into the surrounding rivers! "

"So there are no floods in the entire county yet, but there are already countless victims nearby who are migrating here. Natural disasters are disasters, and man-made disasters will also be disasters."

"You may think it's peaceful today, but I guess this county won't be peaceful for a few more days."

"But at any rate, it's better than leaving here rashly now, wandering around outside and suffering from floods."

"It's just like the little ones. They were fine when they came here, but now they can't go back!"

After shaking his head, the manager left.

Wen Chaoyan and Gu Tingzhou looked at each other, but they didn't say anything and quickly left the dock first.

When entering the city, it is natural to hand in the road guide and escort documents.

Originally, they thought they would be subject to a rigorous investigation, so they prepared a bag of broken silver and even prepared for the worse.

Unexpectedly, when the soldiers guarding the city gate touched the silver bag, they were easily put in.

He didn't even take a look at the large wooden boxes.

The reason may be that the group of them not only looked clean and tidy, but also had carriages and horses. At first glance, they felt that they should belong to a wealthy family, not the refugees who fled here.

On the contrary, there was a long line of ordinary people on the other side, their bodies covered with mud, but not one of them was let into the city.

Jiang Wancheng opened the car curtain and looked back.

These refugees are men, women, young and old.

Some are alone, some have families with them.

But without exception, almost all the children were yelling 'wow' from hunger.

The old people all have gray and numb faces, most of them are wearing crutches and look sickly.

And those young people carrying the only remaining belongings on their shoulders all had dead expressions on their faces.

I don’t know how many of them were the only ones in their families who escaped and survived...

According to visual inspection, there are at least two hundred refugees at the gate of the city.

Most of the refugees were sitting scattered on the open ground.

There were also those who were unwilling to do so and kept standing at the gate of the city, queuing up in an orderly manner to get in and beg for food and drinks.

But the city gate was not opened to them.

They were neither noisy nor fussy, and kept calm, which surprised Jiang Wancheng and the others.

"Sister, they are so pitiful."

Sister Ya held the car window open and looked outside with Jiang Wancheng. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the refugees, she was filled with sympathy.

Jiang Wancheng touched her head: "We will help them."

Lin Xueyan: "I heard that the prefect and governor of Jiangyuan County are both good officials. They are approachable to the people on weekdays, and the prefect is never ambiguous when deciding cases. He also carries out construction work for counties and counties, all with the help of officials. An honest and upright official.”

"So, maybe these refugees believed that the government would solve their plight, so they stopped making trouble for the time being."

Jiang Wancheng shook his head.

I sneered in my heart: This governor is not a good person!

In her last life, she also learned about this matter in the backyard of Prince Duan's Mansion.

Although the prefect was pretending to be a good official now, she knew that in just three years, the prefect would be found out. He had embezzled and swallowed up three layers of relief supplies during this natural disaster!

There are about 60,000 taels of silver and 6,000 shi of grain.

And these are naturally not the only things he has embezzled over the years.

Not all the daily exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were handed over to the court. I didn’t know how much I had swallowed up in private. I reported bad harvests every year, but in fact I was lining my pockets every year.

In the end, of course, he was jailed for a serious crime and his head was beheaded and his house was ransacked!

However, Jiang Wancheng couldn't tell everyone this. She only said: "No matter what, people's hearts are unpredictable. They still have to investigate before taking action."

While on the boat, everyone had considered various situations they would encounter and made adequate preparations.

So as soon as we entered the city, we found a place to stay temporarily, an abandoned and remote pavilion.

Then Gu Tingzhou and Cui Jinzhi went to find their old acquaintances in the city.

Gu Tingzhou entered the world early, and later after establishing an escort agency, he still had to travel extensively, so the people he met were naturally everywhere and he knew everyone.

Jiang Wancheng and the others stayed peacefully.

Wen Chaoyan went out for a trip.

Li Yan stayed behind to protect the girls and children, as well as guard the silent centurion who was thrown in the corner.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wen Chaoyan came back.

He held a big basket in his hand.

Once opened, it was full of steamed buns and some braised pork.

He also filled the water bladders he carried with him.

"Everyone just eat something first."

There is a pavilion right here, which is indeed more convenient for such a simple meal.

Moreover, everyone has just seen so many refugees at the city gate, and seeing that they can still eat warm food, there is nothing dissatisfied.

The food was placed on the stone table and they all ate in silence.

Only Wen Chaoyan walked up to the centurion with a big meat bun and knelt down to hand it to him.

"Eat."
