Jingzhou, not an unknown town in Hubei, has been known as the important place of Jingzhou since ancient times.

However, at this time, Jingzhou's city gates were tightly closed, and many refugees gathered in front of the city gates.

The escort captain Zuo Ping stepped forward and asked the guards to open the door.

The soldier looked at the relief team, and the victims outside did not immediately open the door:

"Imperial envoy, please wait a moment, wait until the younger one calls the county magistrate!"

However, the refugees gathered outside didn't know how long they had been hungry, and when they saw so many cars, they wanted to grab them.

This time without Fourth Master's presence, Elder Brother Thirteen led people to scare him away and explain the reason.

Jinyao saw the heroic thirteenth elder brother smiling at fourth master through the car window:

"Fortunately, the thirteenth brother has been imprisoned for more than half a year and still does not lose his heroism."

Fourth Master sighed softly:

"This is a good opportunity, if you catch it early, if you spend another year or two in the circle, you will be useless!" Among the brothers, this is the only one who is close to him, so he has to keep him if he has a chance.

"I was also circled, did the fourteenth elder brother keep the focus?" Jin Yao was curious.

Fourth master sneered:

"Him? Very good!" Still so ungrateful, unable to tell good from bad.

Jin Yao is speechless:

"It's good to get it out, otherwise you'll only save Thirteen, no matter Fourteenth Empress is going to get mad at you again, now you can calm down for a while."

"Desires are insatiable, and some people can never be satisfied."

Thinking that before going out, Concubine De not only didn't worry about her safety on this trip, nor did she praise her brotherhood for getting Fourteen out, but she blamed him for not dragging old Fourteen, and not taking him with her when she went out for errands, only bringing Thirteen!

Thinking of this made me feel annoyed, and I lost the desire to continue talking.

After waiting for a while, the prefect of Jingzhou rushed to the top of the city gate:

"May I ask who the imperial envoy is?"

"Prince Yong and Elder Brother Thirteen!" Zuo Ping stepped forward and replied:

"Don't open the door yet!"

The prefect wiped the sweat off his forehead:

"Please forgive me, my lord! I'm being rude, so I'll open the city gate. Please don't panic, my lord."

The archers on the tower are ready and aim at the bottom.

Zuo Ping was startled, and said angrily:

"What are you doing? Want to murder the imperial envoy?"

"No, no, my lord misunderstood. How many heads of the officials dare to murder the imperial envoy? This is to guard against the opening of the city gate for a while, and these rioters will take the opportunity to break into the city. It is not good to be afraid of the prince's car driving. Your Excellency uses it!" The magistrate waved his hands again and again, his face full of bitterness.

Jin Yao sighed:

"This is also embarrassing. The refugees are very hungry. If they enter the city, they may cause chaos and steal ordinary people. I am afraid that no number of yamen servants will be able to guard them."

Fourth Master nodded and took a long breath:

"So the corrupt officials who embezzled the funds for building dams deserve to die! Because of their greed, how many people were displaced, how many children were starved to death? How many families were destroyed?"

Jinyao nodded, and had to admit that Fourth Master was right, corrupt officials deserve to be damned!

Elder Brother Thirteen is quite good at general affairs. He will come forward to discuss with the other party, and it will be agreed after a while. The city gate will be opened, and the refugees will no longer scramble to squeeze in. Instead, they will be watched by the city guards. Sequentially followed into the city, to the Fuyawai.

When we got to the place, we clapped our sleeves with the prefect who came over:

"Slave Su and Tai Gong invite Saint Ann!"

"Saint Gong'an!"

"The servant has seen the Imperial Envoy!"

"Get up, Master Wanyan has worked hard!"

"You can't be a word of hard work in front of the prince, but the servant has neglected his duty, which frightened the prince, please forgive me!"

"Don't say so many polite words, let's talk about the disaster situation in Jingzhou and the resettlement matters after the disaster."

"Yes, this... I'm afraid I won't be able to finish talking about it for a while, why don't you ask Madam to move to the servant's mansion and settle down temporarily?"

"I don't need to bother you at your house, I just live in the posthouse!"

Su Hetai had a bitter face:

"My lord doesn't know. This post has not been used all year round and has not been maintained. Now that it rains a lot, I'm afraid it won't be suitable for people to live in. Please ask your lord and madam to stay at the servant's house for a while!" Who would have thought of such a small place like him? The imperial envoy came, but I didn't have time to clean up.

Fourth master looked at Jinyao:

"Go and take a rest first, I don't know if you will continue on your way today." Their destination was Jiangcheng, but they had to stop at places where the disaster was serious.

Jin Yao nodded:

"The concubine is going to settle down first!" Naturally, the carriage is not as comfortable as the bed, and Jinyao just wants to lie down and straighten her waist.

Fourth Master nodded:

"Serve Fujin well!"

"Yes!"

Su Hetai almost sweated, but it was the famous Jin Fujin?Fortunately, he was not rude.

Jinyao was brought into the magistrate's house. Su Hetai's wife got the news before and hurriedly led someone to clean the courtyard specially used to receive guests. There are usually people cleaning there, so it doesn't take much time. When Jinyao passes by, everything will be done. All taken care of.

Feiling stepped forward to check and nodded:

"The quilt is new, master, let's take a rest, after walking for so many days, your bones are crisp, right?"

"No, have you thanked Mrs. Wanyan?"

"Thank you, these are trivial things, you should wash up quickly, it's important to loosen your bones."

Jinyao couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a bath and massaged with essential oil.

She is used to enjoying it, and she will be exhausted if she suffers a little bit.

The fourth master came back after lighting the lamp at night, Jinyao felt a little distressed, and hurried forward to take care of the wash:

"It's so late, is dinner available?"

No matter how bad fourth master is in his mood, seeing her will make him feel better:

"Use it, have you used it yet?"

"Yes, you can't ignore your health as soon as you get busy. Don't forget that you had the epidemic last year, and you haven't fully recovered yet!"

"knew!"

"Speaking of the epidemic, did you expect that there would be a plague, so you brought Sun Nanny and Feiling out?"

Jin Yao sighed:

"No, otherwise I wouldn't bring them both out, and I would definitely leave one of them to watch over the children. I just thought that most floods are prone to plague, so I should bring them here for prevention or treatment, just to take care of us Also convenient."

"In the end, you're thoughtful. The river here in Jingzhou is a big tributary of the Yangtze River. The dam didn't break this time. It's the upper river bed that broke down. Open the gate on their side and release all the water to their county. , This led to a catastrophe in their county, destroying countless farmland on both sides of the strait.

After all, this is only Su Hetai's opinion, and the specifics will not be known until tomorrow when someone examines it. "

Jin Yao nodded, it could be seen that Fourth Master had a good impression of Su Hetai.

"Would you like some more supper?"

"No, go to bed earlier!"

Jin Yao shook her head, knowing that this person was also tired:

"If you sleep like this, your bones will definitely hurt when you wake up in the morning. May I ask Nanny Sun to massage your back and soles for you?"

Fourth Master thought about it:

"Call Su Peisheng to come, get used to his service."

"Okay, then when you have time to get up tomorrow, ask Su Peisheng and Nanny Sun to learn how to do it, so that they can help you relieve fatigue from time to time."

"it is good!"

With such a Jieyu flower, a tough man can also become a soft man.

The fourth master went to work early the next morning, but Jinyao didn't see anyone when she got up.

"Master, Mrs. Wanyan came to take care of her early in the morning." Feiling said while helping Jinyao comb her hair.

Jin Yao frowned:

"Why do you want her to serve you? Did you let someone go back?"

"I'm screaming, I'm screaming, and I told her that I'll call someone to notify her when the master wakes up. Is the slave the one who's in trouble?"

"That's good. Don't fail to notice that we are being criticized, saying that we are deliberately playing prestige and teasing the wives of other local officials."

"The servant knows."

Jinyao nodded, she was at ease with these big girls around her doing things.

"Master, Mrs. Wanyan is here!"

"Come in quickly!"

"I have met Jin Fujin myself!"

"Get up quickly, you don't need so much courtesy in private, Mrs. Wanyan is polite!"

Mrs. Wanyan heaved a sigh of relief. She was in Jingzhou, and she heard that this Jinfu Jin was a domineering person. She was afraid that she would not serve her well enough to offend her master. She never thought that she would be so friendly and easy to talk, and her smile was a little more sincere:

"My concubine came here to see how Fujin is resting. Is there anything unwell that needs to be replaced? Yesterday's arrangement was too hasty, and I'm afraid many places have not been properly arranged, but I have neglected Fujin!"

"It's so neat and tidy in a hurry. It's obvious that Madam is capable. There's nothing to be picky about. It's good enough!" I don't want to live long, as long as it's more comfortable than a carriage, there's nothing to pick.

Madam Wanyan smiled more sincerely:

"It's Fujin who knows how to be sympathetic to people! By the way, I'm afraid that Fujin didn't bring all the supplies along the way, so I specially prepared some. Fujin can use it when he sees it can be used, and reward others if he can't use it!"

With a wave of his hand, five or six maids walked in with boxes and trays. They were either covered with cloth or packed in a box. It was not clear what was inside.

Jin Yao did not refuse:

"It's Madam Lao, I'll let you spend the money!"

"It's just some ordinary objects, and it's nothing to be tired of, let alone a waste of money!"

Mrs. Wanyan continued:

"Originally, Fujin came from the capital and was supposed to show you around the city, but there was a disaster under this rule, and now there are many refugees in the city, so it's not peaceful, and I dare not take you anywhere, please forgive me for being rude! "

Jinyao pays more attention to her now:

"Ma'am, that's very true. Besides, the prince and I didn't go out of Beijing for fun. It's a trivial matter whether we get around or not. It's their business between men that matters!"

No wonder the fourth master was satisfied with Su Hetai last night. Seeing that his wife obviously had some rules, she wouldn't take him to play just because he wanted to please him. Although this temperament may easily offend others, let alone, it's quite good for him And fourth master's appetite.

After chatting with Mrs. Wanyan for a while, after breakfast, Jinyao had nothing to do.

"Fei Ling, Yu Ling, let's pretend to go out and have a look on the street?" It's not interesting to just stay in the house like this, besides, she also wants to investigate the people's conditions, so she can't say that she can help Fourth Master.

Feiling didn't dare to respond, she just looked at Nanny Sun.

Grandma Sun thought for a while:

"Si Ye is working in the government office. It would be cheaper to keep Zhao Qian here."

"Okay, Feiling, go tell Zhao Qian, let's go for a walk. I've only been in Hunan before, and I haven't seen what Hubei is like."

What is Hubei like?

Many dialects!

After Jin Yao and the others came out, they really became deaf and dumb, even if they couldn't understand, they couldn't speak!

He went out in high spirits and came back disheartened.

Jin Yao is funny:

"I should have kidnapped a girl earlier!"

"Who says it's not, why don't the slaves ask someone to lead the way now?"

As soon as she came out, Feiling really didn't want to go back to Yan's mansion so soon.

Jinyao was about to answer, when she suddenly felt someone touch her waist, her face turned serious, Feiling moved faster, she didn't see how she moved, she just turned around and grabbed an eight or nine-year-old child, and threw him Screw it in front of Jin Yao:

"If you dare to steal something in front of your aunt, which paw, I will chop it off!"

With a sullen face, Zhao Qian handed the sword to Feiling.
