Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining frowned, looking worriedly at the direction Gao Dianshi and his party left.

When she and Zhao Wanjin made up their plan, she knew that Gao Dianshi would not be kind when he saw Zhao Wanjin. A few slaps and kicks would be light. I am afraid that there will be torture waiting for Zhao Wanjin in the future.

She felt a little unbearable and guilty in her heart, but Zhao Wanjin patted her chest and said: "What I hate the most is this kind of cruel official who is a fish and meat. I can take down this kind of person and let the old leader out. I just suffer." A little skin injury, this is a good deal. The leader of my internal kung fu doesn’t know, but if I use it, they won’t be able to hurt my inner abdomen, so the leader can just rest assured.”

Qin Yining was still worried, but when he hesitated, both Zhao Wanjin and Zhao Yinuo repeatedly assured him that Qin Yining believed Zhao Yinuo when he saw that Zhao Yinuo was more determined than Zhao Wanjin.

But now that Zhao Wanjin was taken away, she was still worried.

"Bingtang, you go back and prepare the elixir, we are ready to send it in at any time."

Bingtang nodded, and tightened Qin Yining's cloak that slipped onto her arms, "Don't worry, princess, I have done everything according to your orders."

"That's good." Qin Yining finally felt a little relieved.

At this time, the people in the square were in an uproar after recalling it.

These ruthless officials in the old capital never cared about their lives, and whenever the imperial court distributed relief, it first filled the purses of these scum.

Now a kind-hearted person has finally come here, willing to buy food and clothes for them who have never met before. Many people were brought back when they were about to starve to death or freeze to death. Zhao Wanjin is their reborn parents. , Seeing such a good person being treated like this, I don't know how much hardship it will take to enter the yamen. How can the common people sit still?

When everyone was clamoring and scolding cruel officials and corrupt officials, Zhao Yinuo stood in Zhao Wanjin's place with a bitter face: "Fellow folks, elders, please listen to me."

Everyone silenced and looked ahead suspiciously.

Zhao Yinuo rubbed his red eyes, and said loudly: "I am the shopkeeper of Boss Qian's house. Everyone has seen what is going on now. Our boss has been arrested, and now our life and death are uncertain." , if I can't take the person back home intact, I'll be ashamed to see our old man. So this porridge factory, I'm afraid it won't go on without experience. Everyone, hurry up and eat while it's hot, let's leave early .”

When everyone heard this, the disappointment in their eyes could hardly be concealed.

Whoever it is,

Seeing that there is hope of surviving and suddenly being told that they will not continue to help them in the future, negative emotions will rise.

However, seeing with their own eyes how Qian Dashan was taken away, it is difficult for everyone to resent the person who spoke at this time.

Mr. Qian Dashan was arrested, and there was no one in charge of the family. The servants were busy trying to clear up the relationship to save the boss, so it was understandable that they didn't have the time and energy to take care of the porridge factory.

To blame, but also to blame the cruel officials who took Qian Dashan away!

The thick porridge in the bowls and the dry food in the hands of the common people are already cold, and they are all in a daze, not knowing what to do. After eating today's meal, tomorrow they will have no hope?

They already had a glimmer of hope that they could survive this harsh winter, but once Qian Dashan was arrested, where would they find such a kind person with colleagues and financial resources? Their hope of survival was easily deprived by Gao Dianshi!

There was a low sobbing sound from the crowd, some old and weak women and children did not dare to eat porridge and dry food, and planned to save it until tomorrow when they were really hungry, and they did not know how to live their lives in the future. The younger ones were outraged.

"Good people don't get rewarded! What's the reason for her mother!"

"God, you don't open your eyes!"

"Corrupt official Gao Dianshi is all Gao Dianshi's fault!"

The square was like boiling hot oil, with waves of cursing louder and louder. Their fear of the future and resentment of being deprived of food had nowhere to vent, and they could vent a little bit by roaring.

"This Gao Dianshi has never done good things in the city, and his son is even worse!"

"You can see that this group of cruel officials eat the food of the public, but they are not willing to help the common people to get their grievances. Instead, they are wronged by us!"

"To put it bluntly, what is our little life in the eyes of these cruel officials? Isn't it just a matter of lip service to kill a few dozens?"

"My God, this is the way that God wants to kill us!"

...

Cursing and crying were mixed together, and the entire square was full of anger. The porridge and dry food were distributed, but the people did not leave immediately, they still stayed where they were, and got together with acquaintances, discussing how to save the money and the good people.

Qin Yining put down the warm curtain of the carriage, and sighed softly, "Let's go back home."

"yes."

Bingtang and Jiyun ordered to go down, and the driver got the order, and the carriage moved slowly.

The wooden wheels rolled across the streets paved with blue bricks, and the carriage bumped regularly when passing through the cracks in the bricks. The lifelike golden silk butterfly on Qin Yining's hairpin with Dongzhu flower head inserted obliquely on his head also swayed gently.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when they returned to the palace, the shopkeeper Zhong Da hurried over to ask Qin Yining: "Boss, how to deal with the matter next?"

Qin Yining frowned when he thought of those refugees in the square.

"How are they doing now?"

"The crowd in the square has not dispersed yet. Everyone is angry. They may discuss going to Gao Dianshi's house to intercede, and some people say to go to the yamen to plead for grievances and beg the magistrate to release him."

Prefect Yang sits in the old capital and is in charge of the surrounding towns.

Qin Yining frowned slightly, "Being able to risk your life as a commoner, and bold enough to intercede with Zhao Wanjin, shows the status of Zhao Wanjin in the hearts of the common people."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Zhong also sighed: "It's been very cold these days, and the old capital has experienced successive years of disasters. The common people have already gone through a lot of pain. If it weren't for this porridge, many ordinary people would probably have died. But this winter. That's why Zhao Wanjin is revered by them like a living god."

"So, the people's demands are really not high." Qin Yining sighed and shook her head, "Although I want the current situation, I can't bear to watch everyone starve to death and freeze to death." .”

Shopkeeper Zhong's complexion changed and he asked, "Princess, do you mean to continue giving porridge?"

"En." Qin Yining nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly, carefully thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Shopkeeper Zhong Da anxiously said: "But isn't the current scene also arranged by the princess? Now that the porridge is being given out again, the anger of the common people will be reduced? That would be harmful to our actions, but not beneficial. The princess should think twice."

Qin Yining smiled: "What you said makes sense. But do you know when people's anger will rise the most?"
