Chapter 23 Disaster Victims(1/2)

 Two moves.

It’s really just two moves.

Jiang Xuan thought that Huangfu Qi would win, because before he became a first-class player, he could use the Dacheng-level Eighteen Shots to be undefeated against first-class players.

Now that we have entered the first-class realm and our strength is even greater than before, the possibility of overturning in a small place like Longhua is very low.

But he didn't expect that Huangfu Qi would win so easily.

No matter how weak Mr. Silver Needle is, he is still a top-notch player in Longhua Mansion, but he didn't even see the third move.

"Isn't it strange why I won so easily?"

Looking at the gold and silver being transported away in carts, Huangfuqi smiled and explained: "Realm is a realm, it does not necessarily represent combat power. Take me for example. I have several Dacheng-level martial arts in my body. Every time

Everyone has excellent martial arts skills, but Mr. Silver Needle only has one concealed weapon which is passable, and other aspects are second-rate."

"Another point is the venue. The yard just now is very small, which is not conducive to his use of hidden weapons. I am different. My eighteen shots at the door are mainly fast and fierce. The two of them are less than seven steps apart, so the victory or defeat depends on it.

Between two or three moves."

Jiang Xuan nodded.

Kung Fu is a Kung Fu, and technique is a technique.

In the same realm, everyone's skills are equivalent, and what they compare is their combat skills and adaptability.

Although Huangfu Qi has just entered the first-class level for the first time, as a disciple of Baishou Palace, if you don't step into the first-class, you won't be in the first-class. If you step into the first-class, you won't be at the bottom. In the world, at least he belongs to the upper-middle level of the first-class.

Where is Mr. Silver Needle?

Although he is a veteran first-class master, he does not have any powerful inheritance, and his fighting ability is only average to first-class.

......

"A robber is simply a robber, worse than a robber."

Ten thousand dans of grain and grass is not a small amount.

Hundreds of people and horses worked all night long, and they finished just before dawn.

At the back.

It is no longer a matter of pretending or not, but an open robbery. The grain truck came out of Gaofu, turned around and got into an empty house in the back street.

Mr. Gao is so angry.

But he can't have an attack yet, because people are robbing you and asking you if you want to sue the police.

"Twenty-three thousand dan of grain, combined to make 2.3 million jin."

"Money."

"Gold, eleven thousand taels."

"Silver, one hundred and seventy-six thousand taels, making a total of two hundred and eighty-six thousand taels of silver."

Count the numbers at the same time.

Jiang Xuan said to Magistrate Zhou who was grinning from ear to ear: "Today, the knife is placed on the neck. The Gao family has nothing to say and can only suffer the loss of being dumb. But at this point, everyone is considered to be in disgrace.
p>

The Gao family is one of the six major families. If something like this happens, the six major families will definitely advance and retreat together, resist you together, and even send people to assassinate you.

Where are you?

If the disaster relief is successful and the remnants of the Ping An Road party are wiped out, it will be good, and there will be a chance for promotion.

If you can't do it, or something goes wrong in the process, I think you will die without a burial place."

Hear this.

Magistrate Zhou was not frightened. He touched the short beard on his chin and said: "There is no turning back when you shoot a bow. It doesn't matter whether I get promoted or not. It doesn't matter whether I die or not. What matters is that I have lived up to the emperor's kindness. This can be regarded as a salvation."

To save the people of this area."

"You can say whatever you like, my share won't be reduced by even one penny."

Jiang Xuan's brother Ming settled the accounts: "You take 30% of the 286,000 taels of silver, and I take 70%. Within three days, I will see the banknotes for 200,000 taels of silver, and I will also ask for the universal banknotes of the Shang Dynasty.

I don’t recognize anyone from Guoqianzhuang.”

"Got it."

It’s not that Prefect Zhou has never thought about this batch of silver, but he also knows that Jiang Xuan cannot monopolize this batch of silver, and the Baishou Palace behind will definitely have a hand, and there is no chance for him to bargain.

Fortunately, 30% is quite a lot.

I will send thirty thousand taels back to the garrison general, and I will scrape together a few more. Even if I can't get promoted for relieving disasters and suppressing bandits, I can at least spend some money to be transferred to some wealthy state capitals as officials.

"Now there is food." Magistrate Zhou just said that it was difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice, and he did not really care about the victims: "Over there in Quanjiang County..."

Jiang Xuan nodded: "Whether it's money or food, it's all about hunting rabbits. There is only one real purpose, which is to provide disaster relief and suppress bandits."

Two days later.

Quanjiang County...

"Uncle passing by, can anyone please be kind and give me something to eat? My husband is dead, my mother-in-law has a high fever, and I haven't eaten for two days."

Although the flood receded.

The street is still wet, with a slight smell of water.

There are even more people who cannot survive.

Floods flooded half of the county, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and beggars abounded on the streets.

Some young ones.

A smarter woman will kneel on the ground and unbutton the two buttons of her blouse.

At first glance, it is white and moist, dotted with red hearts. If there is surplus food at home, three kilograms of millet will be taken care of.

Unfortunately, the market response was not good.

Too many people were affected by the disaster, and with the continuous rain for half a month, not many people still had food left at home.

No.

Seeing that the woman at the street corner was really smart, the carpenter in Erdao Alley gritted his teeth and stamped his feet anxiously: "Three kilograms is too much, one kilogram, one kilogram. If you can do it, I will help you."

Such tragedies were staged across the county.

And this is still a good thing. Some families are cold and hungry after a flood, and they cannot afford to fall ill on the way to escape the famine.

This is not something that can be solved by a few kilograms of millet. We have to sell our sons and daughters.

"Dr. Xiao Yang, please be okay. My husband died and I am going to the next county to join my second sister. This journey is three to five hundred miles. The child is still young and I really can't take it with me. I only have two taels of silver. You should pay attention to it."

Buy a kitten or puppy, pity us mother and daughter."

Flags are hung throughout the county.

Every family prepares a coffin.

But there are two businesses, the more natural disasters occur, the more fortunes will be made, and that is the coffin shop and the medical clinic.

Yang's Medical Clinic...

"Sister, you have seen my situation here. There are hundreds of patients every day, and I am so busy that I can't even touch the ground. It's not that I don't want to help, but this girl is really too young."

Looking at the little girl being led by her mother, Dr. Xiao Yang, who is in his early twenties and has been sitting in the hospital for several years, also shook his head: "She is only six or seven years old. If she is left here, I will have to focus on taking care of her to save time.

Without paying attention, she was kidnapped."

What else should I say when meeting a woman?

Dr. Xiao Yang continued: "The way I see it, I built a shack with wooden planks in the backyard. Your intention to join my relatives is good, but there are hundreds of miles of disaster victims along the way, and it is dangerous for a person to travel alone.
p>

In this way, you can live with the sick people at my place first, and I will give porridge morning and night. Although they won’t be full, they won’t let everyone starve to death. Let’s see if this works.”

"Thank you, thank you." The woman bowed repeatedly: "You are such a good person, you will live a long life."

"Spread out, spread out!"

Doctor Yang was about to respond when he saw a commotion outside and a dozen police officers arrived.

"Master Xiong, what kind of wind brings you here."

The leader of the team is eight feet tall and looks like a brown bear.

But it's obvious.

Dr. Yang was very familiar with the visitor and had a heartfelt smile on his face.

"There were victims looting shops on the front street. I went to arrest a few rioters. I stopped by your place to see if anyone was causing trouble."

Mr. Xiong is talking.

In the back kitchen, a girl came out pushing a medicine cart.
