The floods this time were the most severe in Zhinan City and Surabaya City under the jurisdiction of Changwu City.The refugees were displaced, and at first they would dig some wild vegetables and bark to feed themselves. Later, even these things were gone, and some daring refugees began to rob each other.

The refugees didn't have anything in their hands, and after they had wiped out their own people, the hungry refugees set their sights on several big cities.

A large number of refugees were blocked outside the city gate, and gradually someone gathered them and began to rob nearby villages or plunder caravans.It even formed a certain scale, more in number than the guards in the city.

Once a riot breaks out, it is only a matter of time before refugees invade the city.

The administrators of several cities were helpless, so they had to ask Changwu City for help. Wei Guang was dispatched urgently at this time.

After Wei Guang came over, he first suppressed the two gangs of refugees who were most rampant in killing and looting by force, and then called the gentry and wealthy households in the city to donate money and food, set up free porridge sheds, and even let the doctors in the city go out for free consultations...

Even this is still not enough. Every day, a large number of refugees die of starvation, illness, or are even killed by their companions because of a little food.

Wei Guang knew that going on like this would not work, the refugees were only intimidated by their force and calmed down temporarily.Even if the porridge shed cuts off the meal, they will riot again.

But the city lord only gave him so much military rations, and the soldiers under him were all sparing and frugal, living with their belts tight, how could there be any surplus rations to distribute to the refugees?

As for the wealthy households in the city, their lives were not easy, and they were squeezed twice by him, and they really couldn't be squeezed out.

When Wei Guangzheng had a big headache because of supplies, the Shen family suddenly extended a helping hand to him!

The shopkeepers of the Shen family in several nearby cities not only took the initiative to send money and food, they also lured away many young and strong in the name of recruiting workers, all of a sudden relieved Wei Guang's pressure.

Wei Guang didn't know why the richest man, the Shen family, wanted to help him, but this didn't prevent him from having a good impression of Shen Wang——

"General, Master Shen has sent someone to deliver supplies again."

Wei Guang's eyes lit up, "Oh? What is it this time?"

The soldier in charge of the report also showed excitement in his eyes, "Twenty carts of coarse grains, rice noodles, forty tans of salt, more than 200 live pigs and sheep, and five hundred altars of liquor. The shopkeeper who brought the supplies said that the wine and meat were specially prepared by Mr. Shen. If you give it to our Wei family army, the general can handle it himself!"

Hearing this, a lieutenant named Huang De excitedly clapped his hands and praised, "Master Shen is so righteous!"

"Yes, thanks to Master Shen. With this batch of rice grains, the porridge shed can last another half a month!" A polite military adviser next to him echoed.

Huang De ignored him, rubbed his hands, licked his face and said to Wei Guang, "General, do you think we should share the wine earlier?"

The other generals were not as thick-skinned as Huang De, but when they heard this, they all turned their heads and stared at their own generals, obviously agreeing very much.

Wei Guang is also a person who likes wine, and when he heard the words, he wanted to agree with a big wave of his hand. Wei Jinfeng, who attacked him, stopped him, "General, although the wine and meat were given to the Wei family army by Master Shen, we drink and eat meat in the city. Enduring starvation in the city guard...it's really inappropriate!"

Wei Guang was dumbfounded, "Then what should we do?"

The wine and meat are right in front of him, can't he still eat it?

To be honest, if this little wine and meat were distributed among the refugees, none of them could eat a mouthful.It's better to distribute it to the soldiers who have worked hard for two months, and sacrifice the wine worms in everyone's stomach!

Just now the military adviser suggested, "It's better to slaughter [-] pigs and sheep every day, pick off the big meat to feed the soldiers, and boil the bones and offal into the porridge. It's a little bit of our heart. As for the five hundred jars of shochu..."

Wei Guang was still nodding at first, but when he heard the shochu that he was most concerned about, the two brass bells stared at the military master intently, fearing that he would give away his treasure as soon as he opened his mouth.

The same goes for Huang De and other generals...

The corner of the military adviser's mouth twitched, "As for the shochu, let's keep two hundred...uh, one hundred... fifty! Fifty altars for spare, let's share the rest..."

After changing his words three times in a row, the military division also expressed that he was very tired.Alcohol is very useful. Not only can it be used to disinfect and relieve pain for seriously injured soldiers, it can also be used to prevent epidemics, and it can even be used to bribe refugee leaders when necessary.

Besides, their generals have to have wine to entertain the gentry and wealthy households in the city.In the past, they tricked people into cutting their flesh by getting people half-drunk, exciting and coaxing them. When people sobered up, it was too late to regret it.

Otherwise, where did they get the money to set up a porridge shed!

"Okay, let's do it like this." Wei Guang was satisfied.

"The general is wise!" Huang De and other generals were also very happy, flattering their own general, and rushed to get their share of soju.

Wei Guang also wanted to go, but Wei Jinfeng stopped him, "Father, don't you think it's a little too polite for the Shen family to send supplies over and over again? We have no friendship with the Shen family, even if Shen Wang has something to do with you Please, sending charcoal once in the snow is enough. This time even wine and meat were sent over, and it was specified that it was for our Wei family army. I always feel that he is planning something?"

Wei Guang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "What do we have to worry about? At most, it's just a matter of exerting some effort! Besides, if I refuse to agree, he Shen Wang can still put a knife on my neck to force me to agree. No?"

Wei Jinfeng thought so too, no matter what Shen Wang wanted, the initiative was in their hands.

Seeing that he was silent, Wei Guang quickly got up and hurried out, "I'm going to go first if I have nothing to do, I have to keep an eye on my soju, otherwise those bastards will definitely make a mess of me!"

Wei Guang and his son don't know at this moment that the mouth is short for eating people, and the hands are short for grabbing people.When they knew that the prodigal son of the Shen family had cheated their precious brother/brother, and wanted to beat him up, they lost all confidence...

***

Wei Chengyue went in the wrong direction in a daze, but he was lucky enough to meet Yao Xuelin and Mo Zhu, two masters and servants who missed Sutou by accident and were still on their way in the middle of the night.

Seeing a huge black shadow approaching from a distance, the two thought they had encountered something unclean, until Wei Chengyue called out to stop them, and they realized that the other party was a human being.

Still an acquaintance.

Although it was just a meeting in the teahouse, the two masters and servants were deeply impressed by Wei Chengyue because he could eat three steamed buns for a meal.

only--

"Why are you a brother?!" Mo Zhu wondered.

Good man, why are you pretending to be a woman?

"Yes, I'm brother." Wei Chengyue nodded without explaining, but said anxiously, "Me and Shen... My husband happened to meet a bandit, and he was seriously injured to protect me. Where are you going? Can you take a ride?" Shall we ride?"

The sky was dark, Mo Zhu noticed the blood all over his body and the man behind his back, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"Of course, come up quickly." Yao Xuelin agreed without saying a word, and called Mo Zhu together, carefully helping Jiang Yanlan behind Wei Chengyue into the carriage.

In order to avoid suspicion, he did not stay in the carriage, but sat on the shaft with Mo Zhu.Before putting down the car curtain, he explained to Wei Chengyue again, "There are dry food and water in the small cabinet, and there are external wound medicines on the second floor. Treat yourself to the wound and eat something by the way."

Wei Chengyue lowered his head, only to realize that his cuff was still dripping blood, and a sharp pain came from the injured place, which made him hiss lightly.

He clasped his hands and thanked in a low voice.

Yao Xuelin is indeed a gentleman, although there are many mysteries about Wei Chengyue and Jiang Yanlan, he has no intention of asking.

After he got back on the road, he remembered to explain to Wei Chengyue where to go, so he discussed with him through the car curtain, "We will reach Hong'an Town after a few miles, and Mo Zhu and I originally planned to go to Hong'an Town for the night." Brother Shen is injured so badly, why don't you find a doctor in the nearest town, what does Mrs. Shen think?"

Hearing the word 'Mrs. Shen', Wei Chengyue pursed her lips in embarrassment, "Okay, let's go to Hong'an Town, and please Mr. Yao."

"It's a little effort, madam, you're welcome."

Mo Zhu directly drove the donkey cart to the door of the medical clinic, then slammed down on the door vigorously, knocking down the doctors in the medical clinic.

The doctor was very upset at first, but when he saw Jiang Yanlan covered in blood, he hurriedly prescribed the decoction and urged the apprentices to boil it.

Wei Chengyue's injury was treated by the husband of the doctor's family. He was not seriously injured, but there were a few cuts in his arms and shoulders.

While cleaning the wound with decoction, Na Fulang comforted him, "Fortunately, you are already married, and it doesn't matter if you have a few holes. The gangsters you encountered are too rampant. Most people just give up their belongings." , They still want to kill people to silence them."

As he spoke, he asked Wei Chengyue if he wanted to report to the officials.

Wei Chengyue was not willing to agree, just shook his head and said, "Forget it, we are lucky to have saved one life, and if we report to the police, we may be retaliated by them."

After hearing the words, Nafu Lang stopped trying to persuade him. In the past month, there have been several waves of people fleeing from the south, and some refugees even killed seven or eight members of a family in the village just to grab some food.People in the same village don't dare to take care of this kind of thing when they hear it. It's normal for this little brother not to dare to report to the officials.

Seeing that Wei Chengyue was depressed, he turned his head and said something else, "Your husband-in-law is really kind to you, protecting you well, but he himself suffered such a serious injury."

"Hmm..." Wei Chengyue narrowed his eyes and gave a low hum.

He remembered that Shen Yuan was drenched in blood, desperately told him to run, and stopped those bad guys behind him.He knew that he was a weird guy, but he never thought of pushing him out.

What was he thinking?

Wei Chengyue didn't feel that the help of his father and brother was more important than Shen Yuan's life. Shen Yuan was a smart person, and he would definitely not do such things that put the cart before the horse.

If he hadn't exploded at that time, Shen Yuan would have died by now.He really wanted to survive, and it had nothing to do with that deal.

At that critical moment, Shen Yuan chose to protect him with his life, probably because he liked him, right?
