Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

All the people traveling together were men, with only two women, Yixiu and Randong. Even though Yinzhen took special care of them along the way, there were still some inconveniences.

Yixiu was very tired physically. When she was away from home, she didn't have the energy or time to pamper herself. She could also feel her skin becoming rough.

But she felt that what she did was particularly meaningful.

Moreover, she was more prophetic than others. Without the ideas she proposed to Yinzhen, things would not have gone so smoothly.

"Being able to accompany the Fourth Master is also a meaningful thing. You see, we are doing very well now. After this trip, everyone will benefit."

"As for us...Since I accompanied the Fourth Master on this trip, the Fourth Master will only be better to Honghui in the future."

Among those who supported Yinzhen, Longkodo was already old.

But Nian Gengyao and Xinghui are still young.

This time they followed Yinzhen to Shandong, and after they return they will definitely be rewarded according to their merits and make further progress.

---------

On the way to Dengzhou, everyone relaxed.

This is the last route. Once the disaster relief for the prefectures and counties along this line is completed, the whole of Shandong will be almost done for.

Later, the Eight Banners descendants sent from the capital also arrived at the previous prefectures and counties.

I heard that because there is more silver, people can barely get by.

But Yixiu still has some worries.

Now it is June, the hottest time of the year.

Although they had sent news to various places in advance, asking them to burn and bury the bodies of the people as soon as possible, everyone still believed in returning to one's roots and keeping an intact body after death.

Therefore, even if all the government officials were mobilized, it would be difficult to ensure that all the bodies were disposed of.

Even if they were officers and soldiers, it would be better for them to be burned and buried like the bodies of ordinary people.

Even though doctors from all over the country have repeatedly emphasized this, there are always many fish that slip through the net.

Yixiu told Yinzhen about these concerns, and Yinzhen just sighed slightly.

"This kind of thing is hard to stop despite repeated bans. Fortunately, the people have recovered a little now. If the bodies are buried, the possibility of an epidemic outbreak will be reduced."

Yinzhen called Wen Xumo over and asked him about the distribution of medicinal materials in various places.

Wen Xumo made statistics of every place and handed the records to Yinzhen truthfully.

Wherever he arrived at a place, Wen Xumo prepared medicine for epidemic prevention.

It didn't cost much money, but the hot soup with Chinese herbs added could warm people's bodies after drinking it, and they were less likely to catch a cold.

-----------------

At noon, they suddenly saw several disaster victims.

They staggered along the road, their faces pale and thin, their expressions numb.

There was actually a half-grown child in this team.

When they saw Yinzhen's team, a trace of fear flashed across their faces.

Then the child came running over.

He suddenly knelt down in front of the team.

"My Lords, please save us."

The people in the team had seen too much human suffering in these days, and no one moved in the face of the pleading of a half-grown child.

Yinzhen asked, "Are you villagers from near Dengzhou?"

The child nodded.

"Yes, sir, we are villagers from Xiejia Village near Dengzhou."

"My family has not had anything to eat for three days. Please have mercy on us."

It was obvious that Yinzhen and his team were capable of rescuing the victims.

After all, the real victims had already eaten their livestock.

They all rode in horse-drawn carriages.

Yinzhen did not hesitate and asked someone to bring them some dry food.

The other people around the boy were originally timid, but when they heard Yinzhen's words, their eyes lit up.

"There are still many old people, children, women and children in our village. Grandpa, please have mercy on us and save the people in our village."

During this famine year, there were many people who only thought about themselves. This was the first time that Yinzhen and his companions met someone who wanted to save people from the same village.

However, they came here originally to provide disaster relief, and after hearing the boy's words, Yinzhen asked him to lead the way.

They followed the child for a while and saw a village in the distance.

Since the flood began, nine out of ten houses in Shandong Province have been empty. Anyone who has a little ability has fled the famine, and those who can go to the city have also gone to the city.

Most of the villages are deserted.

There are many old and young people, women and children in this village.

Although they looked shaky, there were still quite a few of them.

Yinzhen was a little curious, so he sent Xinghui to investigate.

The child seemed to want to say something, but finally shut up.

Xinghui arrived at the village and just as he approached, a group of young men rushed out.

The young men looked at them warily with sticks in their hands.

The old and the young, women and children hid behind them.

Xinghui showed his token, "The current Fourth Prince went to Dengzhou to provide disaster relief. Seeing that there were more people in your village, he came here to ask about your situation."

The young men looked at each other, and the vigilance in their eyes became even stronger.

Xinghui said again: "It was the kid from your village who brought us here."

However, those young and middle-aged people did not let down their guard.

Xinghui subconsciously felt something was wrong.

All the common people who had come along the way were pale and thin, but the people in this village were full of energy. Although there were old, young, women and children, there were more young and middle-aged people. They did not look happy to see them. Logically, they would be happier to see these imperial troops.

He has been fighting wars for many years and has seen many evil people. There must be something strange in this village.

His first guess was that the people in this village robbed and killed passers-by and stole their food and things, so that they could live so comfortably in such a disaster year.

Xinghui immediately made a gesture.

Yinzhen saw it clearly from the team.

"Go, surround the village."

The young and middle-aged men in the village saw Xinghui's gesture and started to move.

They raised wooden sticks and were about to hit Xinghui on the head.

However, after a while, they heard the sound of horse hooves.

When they looked closely, they saw a large number of soldiers and officers coming, and they were immediately frightened out of their wits.

The leader said, "Tripping rope!"

As he spoke, a rope suddenly appeared across the middle of the road.

Nian Gengyao reined in the horse hard, and the horse's front hooves were raised high, then fell to the ground.

Xinghui had already knocked down several people here. He rushed out and cut the lasso with one knife.

The villager became anxious and began to wave his stick around.

Xinghui had been holding his breath, but when he saw them like this, he realized that they were just a group of rabble and there was no order in their fighting.

Soon, everyone in the village gave in.

The old, weak, women and children began to cry.

Nian Gengyao stepped forward to ask what was going on, and the child who brought them here burst into tears.

"They are evil spirits! They forced us to do this!"

Yinzhen's face darkened. "Search for me."

Soon they searched the village thoroughly.

All of these Eight Banners descendants had pale faces.

"Fourth... Fourth Master... These people... Ugh..."
