The poisonous concubine allures the city, the ghost king loves the sky

Chapter 137

Xu Hongyuan's body trembled, he raised his head suddenly, and said to the boy: "You trash, hurry up and invite General Zuo in."

The boy ran out in a hurry, Xu Hongyuan said to the people in the house: "The disaster money has arrived, let's go to meet it."

While speaking, there was a sound outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen large boxes dived in, filling the entire yard. Judging from the sound of the boxes falling to the ground, there should be disaster money inside.

Zuo Dinghan's face was ashen, and he came forward, his footsteps seemed a little unsteady, maybe it was because of traveling all night, there was a shadow under his eyelids.

Xu Hongyuan laughed like a trumpet flower, and said to Zuo Dinghan, "General Zuo really deserves to be a general who has a heart for the world. He saved all the people from the fire and water. With this disaster money, those disaster victims can have hope. Your credit, I will definitely do it." I want to play it to the court and explain it to the emperor."

I thought I would get a smiling face from Zuo Dinghan, after all, there was nothing wrong with this flattery.

First of all, I am grateful to him, and then I will go to the court, and the rest is waiting to be rewarded by the emperor.

But unexpectedly, Zuo Dinghan just said coldly: "No need."

Then he pointed to those big boxes and said, "Come and check them, see if there are any missing?"

"That's unnecessary, right?" Xu Hongyuan didn't understand why Zuo Dinghan insisted on asking him to make a clear count in person.

It is rumored that General Zhenyuan is moody, and now he actually wants to count the disaster money by himself, how true is this statement?How fake is it?

"Stop talking nonsense, if you tell you to count, you can count, otherwise, if something goes wrong with so much disaster money, I can't afford it."

When he said this, Zuo Dinghan kept staring at Jun Yeli, wishing to burn two holes in his body.

A small county magistrate dared to bully him, he was really impatient.

It's just that Zuo Dinghan was still a little surprised that he was able to escape from death, although he was extremely angry, but here, especially when the two heirs were present.

He also had to endure it.

Jun Yeli stepped forward hastily, and bowed deeply to Zuo Dinghan: "Thank you, General Zuo."

He didn't know whether he was thanking General Zuo for escorting the disaster silver, or thanking him for collecting the 300 million taels of silver.

But no matter what kind it is, Zuo Dinghan will not be happy.

Before he could say something, Jun Yeli said to Xu Hongyuan: "The disaster money has been delivered. In order to appease the people and avoid long nights and dreams, let's distribute the disaster money to the people as soon as possible."

Zuo Dinghan's face darkened a bit with his words that nights are long and dreams are many, and the phalanxes holding the knife hilt turned white.

Can't wait to take the next step, so he cut off Jun Yeli's head.

Zuo Dinghan said to Xu Hongyuan: "This general's mission has been completed, so don't bother me."

Then, he turned and left.

Xu Hongyuan opened his mouth, and could only say, "Greetings to General Zuo."

He really didn't understand, Zuo Dinghan had done a good thing, but why did General Zuo act like someone owed him money?

Jun Yeli patted Xu Hongyuan on the shoulder, and asked kindly, "Master Xu, what's the matter?"

"Why do I always feel that General Zuo is angry? Could it be that I did something wrong?" Xu Hongyuan murmured.

"How is it possible, Mr. Xu is overthinking, General Zuo has worked hard all night, and his face must be ugly." Jun Yeli persuaded.

"Maybe." Xu Hongyuan touched his chest, feeling something was wrong.

At this time, the master ran in sweating profusely. Because he was too flustered and ran too fast, he almost fell and ate shit.

Shouted to Xu Hongyuan: "My lord, my lord, the disaster victims have arrived."

"It will be there when it arrives. It's just a matter of time to distribute the disaster money and calm down the hearts of the people first." Xu Hongyuan made a decision immediately, which reassured the master a lot.

Only then did I see that there were more than a dozen large boxes in the yard at some point.

The master took the order and was about to transport the disaster money away, but was stopped by Jun Yeli: "Wait a minute."

Everyone looked back at him one after another, not knowing what he was going to do.

However, Jun Yeli's eyes swept over Han Yefei and He Lianting's body lightly. With just one glance, the two of them felt as if they had fallen into a pit.

"The amount of disaster money is huge, and the number of victims is too large. In order to resettle the victims, too many things are needed. Food, medicinal materials, and clothing must be fully prepared. The current weather is unstable. I think it is best to give the victims outside the city. Set up a simple tent and let them settle down first. What is most lacking now is manpower. Why don't Master Xu ask the two princes to help distribute the disaster money, while I prepare food and let the victims drink porridge , to save them from rioting."

What Jun Yeli said made Xu Hongyuan nod in agreement: "What brother Zhang said is very true, I think we should do it like this."

With Xu Hongyuan's approval, Jun Yeli turned to Han Yefei and He Lianting, "I wonder if the two princes are willing to help these victims?"

Jun Yeli pulled the victims out as a shield, and Han Yefei and He Lianting had no choice but to agree. After all, it was a matter of life and death.

It's just that being used by him like this makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After all the assignments were completed, Xu Hongyuan realized something was wrong, and Zhiqiu was notoriously useless.

How to deal with these things in a logical manner?
But these thoughts just passed by in a flash, and they were overtaken by the incident. The victims of the disaster were all crowded at the gate of the city, clamoring loudly to enter the city.

If it wasn't for the officers and soldiers guarding the city to intercept them, they would have rushed into the city long ago.

The continuous running for several days and nights has already made these victims lose their minds. Now their only thought is to go to the city, eat and rest.

When Xu Hongyuan arrived here, the victims were very excited.

I thought that there would be food for survival when they arrived in Cangtong, but what they didn't expect was that what was waiting for them was actually blocked by officers and soldiers.

Is this to starve them to death?

"We're going to the city, we're going to eat." One person yelled the slogan, and everyone echoed, even the three-year-old child stopped crying.

Holding up her little hands, shedding tears, learning in style.

Xu Hongyuan didn't dare to go out of the city to meet the victims, so he had to climb up the tower and shouted from above: "Fellow folks, please be quiet, the imperial court will not give up on you. Now the money for disaster relief has arrived, and I promise that it will take less than half an hour. , everyone can drink hot porridge and hot steamed buns, and please rest outside the city for a while.”

As soon as his words came out, someone immediately questioned: "Why don't you let us go into the city?"

"Cangtong County is only this big in total. How can I find such a big place to house you? When everyone is together, I can distribute the disaster money to you as the cost of your post-disaster reconstruction." Xu Hongyuan said He was very sincere and gave a death guarantee. When these victims heard that there was money to take, their emotions stabilized.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the people will not fight with the officials.

The victims looked for places outside the city in twos and threes, sat down, and the situation stabilized.

Sure enough, not long after, everyone saw several carts full of steamed buns being transported out of the city.

Feng Wuxie distributed all the food to the victims, and everyone was able to get silver taels, which were used for post-disaster reconstruction expenses.

As long as the flood recedes, post-disaster reconstruction is only a matter of time.

With food and water, and a place to rest, the emotions of the victims have also stabilized, and they all rest in place.

The supplies behind were also slowly brought up, including simple tents and clothes, all of which were distributed to the victims.

Everything seemed to be going on peacefully and orderly.

But Feng Wuxie always felt a little uneasy, and there was no reason for this uneasiness, which made her a little frightened.

I always feel that there is something flashing by, but I just can't catch it.

After settling the victims, Feng Wuxie and Jun Yeli returned to Xu Hongyuan's mansion. Perhaps everything went so smoothly, and Feng Wuxie couldn't believe it.

According to Xu Hongyuan's greed, how could he let the money he got slip away so easily?
That night, a group of guests came to the Xu Mansion one after another.

They all rushed into Xu Hongyuan's guest room, discussing something, but when they came out again, the anxious expression on their faces had disappeared.

"What if Xu Hongyuan opens the gate of the city tomorrow? The victims don't know the stakes in it. It's undoubtedly a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."

Feng Wuxie said to Jun Yeli worriedly.

Sure enough, all of this was going on according to Jun Yeli's speculation, but up to now, Feng Wuxie hadn't seen Jun Yeli move.

Regarding a certain woman's worries, Jun Yeli hugged her slender waist, and said in a low voice, "Whatever you do, after a tiring day, go to bed early, do you want me to help you undress?"

Responding to him was an elbow, Feng Wuxie gave him a blank look, turned around and entered the house.

But all of this fell into the eyes of Han Yefei and He Lianting in the dark, but everything changed.

In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, undressed...

I can't even imagine what's behind this.

Not long after, a strange noise came from Feng Wuxie's room.

With a bang, it seemed that something heavy fell on the bed.

A rustling sound came over, as well as a suppressed, gasping sound...

"Ah, um..."

The bodies of Han Yefei and He Lianting couldn't help shaking.

"Go away, uh..."

The two shook again.

The two of them have profound internal skills, and they can clearly hear the room sound in the opposite room, no matter how small it is.

But hearing it now, it seems that there is no need to listen anymore.

"Old fox, I'm not finished with you." Han Yefei punched the wall, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, he turned his head and went into his room, closing the door with a bang.

He Lianting put away the folding fan in his hand, looking a little lonely, after standing in the courtyard for a long time, he sighed a little, and returned to the house.

Not long after, the sound of the piano came from the house. The melodious tune was an indescribable sorrow, like a boulder blocking the chest, making people feel depressed.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that there was a roar from the next door, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
