Chapter 642 Situation in the City
After An Ran left that night, another four or five days passed, and the two of them never saw each other again.

"My lord, County Magistrate Lin please see me!"

One day, when An Ran was resting at the inn, suddenly Qingfeng knocked on the door outside and said in a low voice.

The movements in An Ran's hands paused, and he nodded nonchalantly: "Let him in!"

"Yes."

Qingfeng replied in a low voice.

After a while, a tired young man in his twenties came to An Ran.

"Minister Lin Nianzu, I have met His Royal Highness King Jing! I didn't know that His Highness King Jing was coming, but I was far away to welcome you, and I hope the prince will forgive me!"

County magistrate Lin respectfully knelt in front of An Ran and said loudly.

After several days of open and unannounced visits, An Ran knew a lot about the county magistrate Lin.

Although he is pedantic, he is still a good official.In the past few days, he was also running around because of smallpox, and An Ran saw all this.

"This king came here in low clothes, what's wrong with Mr. Lin? Get up!"

With a slight lift of An Ran's hand, Magistrate Lin also stood up.

"Your Highness," County Magistrate Lin said with a wry smile, "I really don't know why His Highness came to Daishan County at this time. You have seen the situation in Daishan County right now. It's all my fault. It's my incompetence that makes the people plain To be in such a catastrophe... Alas!"

Speaking of this, County Magistrate Lin had a very complicated look in his eyes.

Lonely, heartache, remorse, anger, and so on.

"Lord Lin, as far as I know, my father has ordered a lot of relief supplies such as herbs and grains to Daishan County, but why didn't I find out in the past few days that many people are stubbornly resisting and there is no prevention at all?" medicine?"

An Ran stared closely at Magistrate Lin, not wanting to let go of the slightest expression on his face.

"Where are the relief supplies?!"

County magistrate Lin's eyes widened, and he shouted: "I have written letters to the emperor many times, hoping that the emperor can send some relief herbs to Daishan County, but every time there is nothing, I thought it was because the memorial did not arrive. God listens! After all, this court... But since the emperor already knew, why didn't I see any of the relief supplies? If not, the people of Daishan County wouldn't be like this..."

As he spoke, Magistrate Lin's eyes turned red.

"Speaking of it, I'm useless as a parent official, I'm ashamed of the common people!"

Magistrate Lin choked up.

"Someone must be playing tricks again!"

An Ran sneered: "Lord Lin, don't be in a hurry. This king will send another secret letter to the emperor, begging him to punish him severely! But what is the situation of the people now? County magistrate Lin must know more details than this king. Wang wants to hear Master Lin's opinion."

"His Royal Highness Huijing," a look of distress flashed in the eyes of County Magistrate Lin, "A few days ago, I was trying my best to conceal it, so as not to cause panic among the people in the city. But the epidemic has become more and more serious these days. There have been rumors among the common people, and some wealthy households in the city began to try to leave the city, but they were all stopped by the ministers... In this way, the rumors are even worse than before!"

"Twelve out of ten people in the city have contracted smallpox, and even the youngest son of the minister has..."

While talking, a big man in County Magistrate Lin burst into tears in front of An Ran!
