Raid

Chapter 146 An Xia
Liu Jin took the batch of real food and grass to Gu Lingxu, and Li Shengxi followed Rong Zhi into An Xia.

Li Shengxi was not worried about whether something would happen to Liu Jin, Rong Zhi and Gu Lingxu's characters were still trustworthy, and Liu Jin had no bad intentions, and they would not do anything to Liu Jin.

As soon as he entered Anxia County, Zhang Bingsheng, the county magistrate of Anxia, ​​was waiting outside. Zhang Bingsheng was not a county magistrate. The original Anxia magistrate was dismissed, and Zhang Bingsheng took over temporarily.

Although Rong Zhi's official position is not high, he is inspecting on behalf of the emperor after all. Zhang Bingsheng dare not be disrespectful. The shrewdness of this life reveals a calculation under his skin. It is hard to say whether his compliment to Rong Zhi has any deep meaning.

"The patrol came all the way. The boats and vehicles were tiring and the journey was hard. Xiaguan has ordered people to clean up a three-entry house for the patrol to live in." Zhang Bingsheng said flatteringly.

Rong Zhi glanced at the cold Ning Rushuang, and couldn't help but frowned, "You don't have to, just follow the rules and live in the posthouse."

"This..." Zhang Bingsheng seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, "The inspector has a noble status, and the post house in Anxia County is dilapidated, and the neighborhood is not stable."

"If there is a stable place in Anxia County today, people will feel uneasy living in it." Rong Zhi said meaningfully.

Zhang Bingsheng's expression froze, and then he smiled quickly: "What Rong Xun said is that the next official will order someone to clean it."

Rong Zhi nodded, and he continued to ask: "How is the situation now? The casualties, food situation, and the number of refugees, have they been compiled into a book? Has anyone been sent to reinforce the embankment?"

Zhang Bingsheng nodded, "I have already sent people over, don't worry, my lord. As for the household register and food booklet, they have already been counted."

"Show it to the officer."

"Yes." After Zhang Bingsheng finished speaking, he asked someone to take out the brochure.

Li Shengxi stayed by Rong Zhi's side as a guard, so when Rong Zhi was flipping through the booklet, she also glanced at it.

Li Shengxi lowered his eyes. According to the record in the brochure, the population loss in Anxia County is very serious. Although there is not much food, because the population of Anxia County is not large now, it seems that Anxia County The stock of food is not tight.

Seeing it this way, the last sentence she said was reasonable, but Li Shengxi always felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.

This booklet reveals a strange... considerable?
Rong Zhi seemed to have noticed something, and his face was calm, "How is the reinforcement of the dam going?"

"We have borrowed soldiers from the nearby state capital, but the situation on the dam is better. This is probably the only thing we can be thankful for." Zhang Bingsheng sighed.

Li Shengxi fiddled with his sword tassel lightly, something was wrong.

The four state capitals in the north of the Yangtze River were all affected by the river's embankment breach, and the nearby state capitals were overwhelmed. Where did they lend him the soldiers?Although the rest of the unaffected state capitals are safe and sound, but their strength is limited, and there are too many state capitals affected, how can they allocate so many troops?
What's more, Zecheng County and Anxia County are the most serious places. With such a large-scale embankment breach, almost the entire county of Anxia was submerged. Logically speaking, the embankment should be completely destroyed. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to strengthen the embankment If things aren’t bad, they’re good, so how could they be good?
It seems that Anxia County has many secrets.

"First send a batch of grain to the disaster shed, County Magistrate Zhang, take me to see the situation of the victims in a while, and then take me to see the situation of the dam construction tomorrow." Rong Zhi ordered.

True or false, false or true, the batch of food he brought is not entirely fake food, after all, we still need to scatter bait, and more importantly, disaster relief is more important than catching the people behind the scenes.If he can't provide relief food after he comes, it will cause a lot of panic, which will not be worth the loss, and it will be easy to scare the snake and make people see the clue.

Zhang Bingsheng nodded, Rong Zhi arranged for people to go to the post house to resettle, and he went to the disaster shelter with Li Shengxi.

As soon as you get close to the disaster shed, there is a smell of stench. If the road from the south is already a purgatory on earth, then Anxia County, as the disaster-stricken area, is a complete purgatory. There is no trace of the disaster shed here. Traces of the world.

Everyone, no matter the age of men or women, looks skinny. There is no life in their eyes, as if they have lost hope in the world.Only when the meal is served, there will be a slight ripple in their waveless eyes.

Li Shengxi walked through it wearing a coir raincoat, feeling very uncomfortable.

Their well-dressed group seemed particularly out of place with the common people.

Rong Zhi was about to say something, when he heard a commotion in the distance.He glanced at Zhang Bingsheng, and Zhang Bingsheng hurried away.

By the time Rong Zhi and his party approached, the provocateur had already been subdued.It was two people who fought, one of whom was emaciated and torn, obviously a member of the disaster victims.The other person who fought was also dressed in coarse linen, but he was well-clothed, and not only was his clothes white, but he was also clean.

In addition to the two people who were provoking trouble, there was a crying girl next to them.The girl looked young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, although her clothes were ragged and her body was shriveled and dirty, she was quite pretty.

"It's all the opposite. You dare to make trouble like this when noble people come here today." Zhang Bingsheng said angrily. He looked at the little official beside him: "Don't take these two people down."

"Help it." Just as the little official was about to make a move, Rong Zhi stopped him. He looked at the two people who were restrained, "Why are you fighting?"

The ragged young man looked at Rong Zhi with unconcealable disgust in his eyes. Before he could open his mouth, another young man said, "My lord, you have to decide for the villain. The villain bought it from this girl's Aye." After getting off this girl, he was about to take her back, but such a bastard ran out from nowhere, saying that he was the girl's elder brother, and insisted on stopping the villain from taking this girl away.

Where do you think there is such a reason?Parents have sold this girl, so what's the big brother to do?The villain refused to let him take it away, so he said some nasty things to the villain in a fit of anger, and then started a fight with the villain.

It's fine if he offends the villain, but he also offends the nobles, what else does he say... he says that the villain is as hateful as the nobles, and he curses the nobles to die. "

"You!" Xu San was annoyed.

"Bold!" Zhang Bingsheng looked at Xu San with displeasure. He looked at Xu San twice, as if he had thought of something, and said quickly: "Come here, take this following person who has committed quarrels and troubles to the prison."
