Chapter 422 The Sudden Appearance of Refugees

"Master, Master..." Xiang Chen and the others were strolling in the street today, mainly because their affairs had been settled recently.They were ready to relax too.

Xiang Chen frowned and looked at Chen Zi who was running over, "What's the matter?"

"Master, the soybeans and medicinal herbs planted nearby have been destroyed a lot. Now Master Chen has sent someone to investigate." Chen Zi hurriedly reported back to Xiang Chen.

"What's going on?" Xiang Chen's head became dizzy when he heard it.They just relaxed, thinking that there was nothing wrong.They came out to relax, why did such a thing happen at the beginning of shopping today.

"I heard that a lot of refugees have poured into Linhuai City recently. The magistrate Mr. Shen has ordered the surrounding area to be guarded, and he is afraid that the refugees will make trouble." Chen Zi continued to report.

"Refugees? Why are there refugees here?" Shangguan Xing asked completely puzzled, Xia Fei and Mei Shaoyou didn't come out for a stroll this time, only Xiang Chen and the others.Mei Shaoyou's beauty powder is not easy to study, but it must be effective and have no side effects.

Kong You frowned when he heard Chen Zi's answer. There is still a distance from the frontier here, and this is the closest to the southern country.The national strength of that country in the South is not also coming.Yan Guo is not fighting with them now, if Nan Guo dares to fight at this time.It is possible for Qingguo to directly destroy him.

"I don't know about this for the time being, and the higher-ups haven't said anything about it." Chen Zi also said with some embarrassment.

"Let's look at our losses first." Xiang Chen said a little depressed, it's only been a few days.What happened here, and why did they all go after these things of his.

Xiang Chen and Kong estimated them, and directly took the carriage to the places where the losses of their herbs and soybeans were the worst.When Xiang Chen and the others arrived, Chen Wen was already here.Shen Zhixing went to investigate other places where soybeans were grown.Huaishan Town was naturally investigated by Chen Wen, and Chen Wen saw this.I really want to be dizzy on the spot here, he is going to be promoted soon.Is this Huaishan against him, and now something like this is happening again.Didn't this matter affect me again?He wanted to find a master, so he came to show him.Does he never want to leave this Huaishan town in his life?

"What's going on?" Kong You asked Chen Wen beside him with a sullen face, and Chen Wen's heart was bleeding when he saw Kong You.A few days ago, he said that he would be promoted as soon as he finished the job, but this happened before the document was written.It seems that there is no play, and Kong You's impression of himself is getting worse.

"Recently, there have been a lot of refugees in this area. They thought they were food and all of them were pulled out. It was all after Zishi. Even if some villagers found out at that time, it was too late to stop them all." Chen asked bitterly. He answered Kong You's question with a straight face.

"What's the matter with the refugees?" Kong You then asked with a sullen face.

"Some bandits appeared in Anling City, which is close to Linhuai City, and they burned, killed and looted everywhere. Many people came to Linhuai City." Chen Wen then replied.

"It's just that some bandits are so powerful? Besides, don't the government have people to destroy them?" Xiang Bao looked at Chen with some puzzlement and asked, can bandits turn the people of a city into refugees?It's not possible, is it?Bandits and the others have seen it before, and Kong Ling took care of it all by himself.There is something that Chen Wen said so powerfully.

"The lower official also knew about the specific things from Mr. Shen. The lower official didn't know about it either." Chen Wen replied with some embarrassment, and Shen Zhixing told him that was the case.He doesn't know the specific things, and he also knows that there must be a problem with this problem.If Shen Zhixing could tell him, he would definitely say it, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

"These bandits are too powerful." Xiang Chen looked at the herbs that had been plucked out more than half, and it seemed that there were quite a few refugees.

"Where are the refugees? Why didn't we see them?" Shangguan Xing asked curiously.

"They couldn't enter the town. When the officials got the news, they immediately had people guard the gate of the town. That's why they came to the nearby villages. Moreover, these refugees are all refugees. Naturally, no one dared to If they don’t have any food, they will think of coming to the village to steal food directly.” Chen Wen said a little depressed, he just wanted nothing to happen in the town.Don't let Kong You have an opinion on him, and seal the town early.However, they forgot what Kong You and the others planted outside.

"Where are the refugees?" Kong You asked again with an unhappy expression. They didn't see the refugees when they came over.

"After these refugees stole things, they immediately hid in the mountains. There are too many mountains here, stretching endlessly. However, the lower officials have sent a large number of people to search for them." Chen Wen hurriedly said, these refugees is the most difficult to deal with.They are actually ordinary people, generally if refugees appear in every place.Ordinary officials just don't care.If there are some good ones, some food will be donated, if there are no good officials.Maybe these refugees will not even be able to enter the city.At that time, they can only starve to death outside.

"You can't eat these, what are they stealing for?" Shangguan Xing said a little puzzled, these herbs might as well steal food.Although the grain is not mature now, the grain can still be eaten.These herbs are really inedible.

"It was dark last night, when those refugees passed by here, I'm afraid they didn't see these things clearly, because the planting of the noodles here is the same. Therefore, it may be mistaken for food." Chen Wen replied guessing at this time , those sad times passing by here.They couldn't get in the village, so they wanted to steal food from outside.The food here is generally watched, and it is easy to be mistaken for the large area when it is dark.Naturally, they didn't dare to light up, so they misread these things.

"In this way, we are unlucky." Kong You looked at Chen Wen with raised brows.

"I'm afraid I'll have to ask Mr. Shen about this again." Chen Wen didn't want to shirk his responsibility, but, at his level, he really didn't know the cause of these refugees.What the bandit said was probably just to deceive those ignorant people.After all, if it's just bandits.Generally, bandits can be dealt with when the imperial court sends troops, unless there are special circumstances.

"You don't know how long the refugees have been, do you?" Kong You glanced at Chen and asked.

"This, the lower officials will find out as soon as possible." Chen Wen really didn't know, the number of refugees is generally not counted by anyone.We know that once there are refugees, the number will not be too low.If there are not many people, they are generally treated as refugees.Not enough to qualify as a refugee.

"How many soybeans have been destroyed?" Xiang Chen looked at Chen Wen and asked, the soybeans were not planted by themselves.Unlike medicinal herbs, it needs to be read by people.These are the same as ordinary grains, which are grown everywhere.

"Part of it was destroyed. The amount is not too large, only these herbs have been destroyed a lot." Chen Wen said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, these herbs were guarded.These refugees may think it is something good, so they want to steal it.Not only did they sneak away some of them, but most of them ran around.I stepped on it a lot, and it didn't take too long for these herbs to grow.Xiang Chen and the others just planted again, but this matter made them very depressed.

"Okay, let's go back first." Kong You looked at Xiang Chen and said directly.

"Yeah." Xiang Chen and the others are useless here now, they might as well go back and discuss how to remedy it.Moreover, whether this incident will affect Xiang Chen and the others is another matter.

Xiang Chen and the others left in the carriage, while Chen Wen was wiping his sweat.Looking at Kong You's expression, he knew that he was dissatisfied with him.He can't control this matter, he can only tell those refugees not to enter the town, which will make Kong You feel bad.Now it's all right, just destroy the things that Kong You just planted.This made Kong You feel even worse.

When Xiang Chen's carriage was halfway, a group of people suddenly ran out.He stopped Xiang Chen's carriage directly, and Xiang Chen's carriage was almost thrown out again when it was stopped abruptly.Xiang Chen was really speechless, the next time he came out, he might as well just walk.A little farther, let's take a scooter.It will not be like this, it is of the same nature as a sudden brake.

"What's the matter?" Kong You's impatient voice came out.

"Master, there are many beggars outside." At this moment, Chen Zi's voice came in from outside.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and then directly lifted the curtain of the car.At this time, those beggars directly surrounded him.

"All right, young master."

"I'm starving to death, give me something."

"Wow, mother, I'm so hungry..."

"All right, young masters, give me something to eat."

………………

Xiang Chen and the others did not expect that they would encounter these refugees who destroyed their medicinal herbs on the way.It is also possible that these are not refugees who destroyed the medicinal herbs, but looking at it now, I naturally feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiang Chen also felt uncomfortable looking at them, these refugees and beggars were all real.Unlike his time, a beggar appeared.There is a [-]% chance that it is fake, and begging is almost like a profession in his generation.Some beggars are much richer than them.

Shangguan Xing and Xiang Bao looked at those beggars, and there were seven or eight-year-old children.Being hugged by his mother, he was so hungry that he looked skinny and boneless.

"How many people do you have?" Xiang Chen asked suddenly looking at these refugees, Kong You looked at him a little speechlessly, originally wanted to let Kong drive all these people away directly.When Kong You asked this question, he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.

"Master, we have 80 to [-] people here. There are hundreds of people in other places. Please have mercy on us, Master." At this time, the woman standing in front was holding the child.Looking at Xiang Chen with a sad expression, the child in his hand stared with two big eyes.Especially like the Shangguan Xing he saw at the beginning, the one who was skinny but had the biggest eyes.
