Hangzhou in April was already a bit hot. On the fifth day of April, the Governor's Office of Hangzhou City issued a curfew. Even if they didn't say it, everyone knew the reason.

In one month, nearly 3,000 refugees have poured into the city of Hangzhou. It is common to see refugees begging in groups in the streets and alleys. At first everyone thought they were beggars, but as time went by, the refugees

The number of people was increasing, and the shops and restaurants had also changed from giving out charity to expelling them. Only then did everyone realize that they were refugees...

Liu Ji's business is still booming. In addition to cooking, Jiang Ning now teaches another fish, steaming the West Lake. It is still hunger marketing. Twenty items a day, each item costs three taels of silver. Talents, beauties, and brothels must be booked in advance.

You can grab it, resell it for fifty taels a piece, and make money whether you eat it or not.

Wang Ruoyan suddenly became more and more busy in the past few days. I heard from Yue Ya that there was some problem in the shop and some silk was not delivered. Although their caravan had arrived at the delivery location and completed the delivery of the goods, the other party said that it was indeed

I didn't receive the goods, so I came to ask for the goods with an unsigned document. The document was genuine, with Wang Ruoyan's calligraphy on it. It was absolutely authentic, so I had no choice but to admit it.

Jiang Ning originally wanted to ask about the situation, maybe he could help, but when Wang Ruoyan returned home, he didn't mention anything about the shopping mall. Jiang Ning couldn't take the initiative, so he had to ask Yue Ya and Xing'er to take care of Wan Ruoyan.

If you need help or something, you need to notify Jiang Ning in time. The two of them knew this in their hearts, but Wang Ruoyan strictly prohibited them from talking to Jiang Ning.

In her opinion, a scholar is a scholar. Jiang Ning is the most talented person in Hangzhou. How can he be entangled in these tedious matters?

Xia Kang and Bi Cheng'an also found Jiang Ning several times, but these times they were in Liu Ji's private room, which probably meant that they had already copied several copies of the two books, Princess Changping's Mansion, and Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion.

, General Ningshan's Mansion, Taiwei's Mansion and six other departments have all been sent in through connections. As long as they can get into the hands of officials or Ning Que, they will naturally be able to play a certain role.

They also said something about Jiangning being a great talent, but Jiangning was trying to cover it up. The two also said that the disaster was much more serious than previously thought. Hangzhou was not affected much, but now it seems

They have to make plans early. Ning Que has already written a letter asking Qiao Zun and Xia Chunqiu to make plans early. If the refugees cause trouble in Hangzhou, the losses will be huge.

According to Liu San's intelligence in the army, Ning Que opened a gap and released 100,000 refugees. The remaining 400,000 were blocked in the north of Qinling Mountains in Ningshan Prefecture. The court's disaster relief food would arrive soon, so there shouldn't be much of a problem, but releasing them

It is still unclear how much impact these 100,000 will have on Zhejiang Province. As for Zhang Jiye on the Qinling Mountains, he has not shown any intention of going south or north. It seems that he wants to occupy the Qinling Mountains and become the king. The eight hundred miles of Qinchuan

In this land, it is not easy to hide thousands of people.

Some of the 600,000 refugees in Shunping Prefecture have received relief food, and they have been able to gain some comfort. Only more than 100,000 are still suffering from famine, which is likely to cause mutiny. The Wude camp set out overnight to hold Shunping Prefecture to Henan and Hebei.

It also mobilized the grain reserves from Henan and Hebei provinces and transported them to Shunping Prefecture.

The Huben Army mobilized 18,000 troops from the Qinling Mountains and dispersed them to six states in southern Zhejiang. Three thousand Huben troops were also stationed outside the city of Hangzhou and took over the city defense from the General's Mansion. This day was also the first day of the curfew.

, the fifth day of April.

On the second day, the flow of people on the streets was still the same, and there were many patrolling in military uniforms. Most of the three thousand soldiers of the prefect's palace were in the city, while the three thousand soldiers of the general's palace were responsible for emergency response in case of emergencies.

needs.

"This is a letter for you." Jiang Ning handed a letter to Xu Ning, now Xu Liheng, in Liu Ji's backyard.

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, took the letter, opened it, and burst into tears. After receiving the letter, she wiped her tears, clasped her fists and saluted Jiang Ning: "Thank you..."

A simple courtesy, but it carried Xu Ning's great courage.

News of Zheng Yiheng's death reached Kyoto. The Jingzhao Mansion immediately sent people to Xu Ning's home and placed his mother under house arrest. The first two things Jiang Ning asked Xia Qiangjun to do was to return to the capital to think about it.

There is a way to send Xu Ning's mother out. As an official of Jingzhao Mansion, Xia Qiangjun is only in the fifth rank, but after all, he has the status of a hereditary prince. No one will underestimate him and go back with a hook and sickle gun.

, Xu Ning was directly exaggerated by him into a martyr, and the injuries on his body were enough to prove that he had gone through a bloody battle.

The Jingzhao Mansion removed its guards, and Xia Qiangjun arranged a scene according to Jiang Ning's wishes, in which a white-haired man gave a black-haired man a gift, and he was overly sad and fell into a well to his death. Li Daitao picked up his old mother and had already left the capital.

Two of the prince's cronies were sent to Hangzhou. If nothing happens, it will be over in a month. By then, the mother and son will be reunited, which will be considered a good thing.

Therefore, Xu Ning bowed to Jiang Ning, but in his heart he already attributed this good fortune to Jiang Ning. Fire Fist Jiang Ning, a nameless person, was able to do such a great thing with such great justice. Now think about how he acted with the heart of a villain.

It is indeed a bit too much to marry a gentleman. Now he wants to drag Jiang Ning into a sworn sworn relationship and recognize Jiang Ning as his eldest brother, but Jiang Ning said: "When mother comes, she will make the decision..."

After moving his old mother out, Xu Ning had nothing to say. Now he has become the shopkeeper, and he is getting a lot of money. He can also serve his old mother, and he has no complaints since then.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, and the sound of gongs was heard across the backyard: "Refugees are rushing into the city... Refugees are rushing into the city..."

Jiang Ning's expression changed and he glanced at Xu Ning: "The safety here is left to you."

Xu Ning nodded and said: "Don't worry..."

Jiang Ning hurried to the front hall and saw Liu Sisi who had just entered the door. He ran over in a panic: "Refugees... refugees... rushed into the city... so many officers and soldiers..."

Jiang Ning stepped forward and took Liu Sisi's hand: "Close the business and bring Ping'er and Zheng Tu over as well. It may not be safe where they are. Everything will be subject to Xu Liheng's orders."

After saying that, Liu Ji followed the crowd of people outside and looked outside.

On the street, the crowd dispersed, the clatter of horse hooves came from the distance, followed by the sound of infantry running, and groups of people and horses headed towards the south of the city. Some refugees on the street had already begun to loot and return in groups.

Small vendors who had no time to close their stalls were beaten when they saw people and robbed of things they saw.

Why did the refugees suddenly rush into the city? Of the one million refugees, Ningchuan and Shunping Prefectures have already retained 900,000. How many can cross the Qinling Mountains? 100,000? 80,000? From the south of the Qinling Mountains to Hangzhou, you have to pass through Yuzhou

, Jiangzhou, how many refugees are there under the city of Hangzhou? Didn’t the Tiger Army take over the city defense? Didn’t the scouts notice at all?

The city has become a mess, with children wailing and refugees looting. Women were not spared. They were grabbed by several refugees and carried away. Some refugees even had a simple knife in their hands and chopped down the man next to them with one blow.

land.

"This is not a refugee..."

This extremely dangerous idea suddenly flashed in Jiang Ning's mind, not refugees...

When Jiang Ning reaffirmed this idea, groups of officers and soldiers had already begun to take action, waving spears in their hands and stabbing at the refugees.

Jiang Ning did not dare to stay on the street, so he took a small road and headed towards Wang Ruoyan's shop. Wang Ruoyan should still be in the shop at this moment. If these refugees attacked the shop, they would be in trouble. Jiang Ning simply knew the location of Wang Ruoyan's shop.

There are only two companies that improve technology, and they are not far apart. I heard Yue Ya say that he once saw Xing'er standing at the door and scolding the clerk like a shopkeeper. At that time, she thought it was a little cute, but now she doesn't have such thoughts.
