Chapter 88 Jun Wushuang

After leaving the city gate, Su Yue thought that it was still five miles to the refugee settlement, and it would take half an hour to get there. She had to cooperate with Murong Li. Seeing that there were also many refugees at the city gate, she simply placed the food here.

She raised her hand to ask Leader Qin to stop, and Leader Qin also signaled everyone to stop.

"Miss, you want to offer sacrifices here?"

Su Yue nodded: "Right here, it's too late to get there, and there are quite a few refugees here anyway."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements immediately."

While Leader Qin was still making arrangements, refugees surrounded him.

"Are they asking for rice donation?" some refugees were discussing.

"I don't know. Ask quickly."

"Look, the bag is filled with rice. No need to ask. Go back and inform the villagers." A refugee said excitedly.

They heard that the Ren's grain store in the city was giving out free rice yesterday, so many people came to see if there was such a good thing today, but the soldiers guarding the city would not let them in.

Now that there are more than a dozen carts of food here, Qin and others are making preparations, and they must be distributing rice.

Whether it is free or not, it is fine as long as you can buy it.

When Leader Qin saw the cars parked, he stood in front of one and raised his hands to signal everyone to stop making a commotion. He channeled his inner energy and shouted, "Fellow villagers, our young lady is giving away grain today. Please tell everyone to come to the city gate to claim their rice. Each household will receive five kilograms. Bring your household registration. No more rice is allowed. This rice will be distributed once it's all gone."

“Wow!”

The refugees were in an uproar. Everyone was very excited after hearing the news. As expected, there was a rice collar. Some people ran back, and some people lined up directly without being shouted. They were very self-disciplined.

Su Yue asked Leader Qin to distribute the food quickly.

Leader Qin waved his hand and began to distribute food.

There was a long queue in front of more than a dozen carts, and the refugees took the rice away happily.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were at a loss as to what to do. Their leader was still unconscious. They did not dare to take any action without orders and could only watch the scene at the city gate.

The most important thing is that they are afraid of Su Yue and his group. These people are so weird. The leader just said a word to them, and if they don't give the county governor's order, the leader will inexplicably fall to the ground and become unconscious.

They didn't understand medicine, so they probably poisoned the leader, or a soldier went to ask for a doctor for the leader.

Another person was sent to report the situation at the city gate to the county governor and the garrison general.

Su Yue focused her mental attention on everything around her to see if that person would come to cause trouble.

At this time, an old woman with gray hair and an excited expression came tremblingly, leaning on a stick and holding a black cloth bag. She was almost hit by the refugees rushing over. Su Yue immediately ran over and helped her up.

"Thank you, my dear." The old woman raised her head and thanked Su Yue, her cloudy eyes full of mist.

"Grandma, please come with me." Su Yue waved her hand and helped the old woman walk towards the cart. Her heart was inexplicably soft towards the vulnerable groups.

The old woman followed her and came to Leader Qin's car. Su Yue said, "Leader Qin, please give this old lady more food and send someone to take her back."

"My daughter, it's you who is giving alms." The old lady finally reacted.

"Yeah." Su Yue nodded.

"My dear daughter, you are such a good daughter. You saved my family." The old woman was so moved that she was about to kneel down. She, an old woman, was able to survive until now. If it weren't for her sick son and grandson at home, she would have given up wanting to live long ago.

They were originally a good family, but because of this damn drought, the old man, his wife, and his granddaughter all starved to death, just to save a bite of food for this old woman.

When the old woman thought of this, she burst into tears.

How could Su Yue bear to hear such an old woman kneeling down? That would shorten her lifespan. She helped the old woman up, asked leader Qin to quickly fill half a bag of rice for her, and asked a servant to send her back.

If I hadn't delivered it personally, the old woman wouldn't have been able to get home with so much rice.

The old woman turned around and bowed to Su Yue before leaving.

The refugees did not dare to say anything about Su Yue letting the old lady cut in line and giving her more rice. They all had experience that the rice belonged to them and they had the final say. If they dared to complain, they would definitely not get a single grain of rice.

Now each household can receive five kilograms of rice, which is enough to last for several days if they save it.

At this time, the newly appointed county magistrate was listening to another person's report, saying that Wuhu Trading Company was exchanging grain for silver notes from Sihai Bank.

The county magistrate was actually an aide to his master. He was a very cunning man. After hearing this, he waved his hand to let the bailiffs leave, and he immediately sent someone out.

At this time, on the upper floor of a restaurant opposite Wuhu Trading Company, two young men and women were sitting by the window.

The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. The woman looked to be in her twenties, with a pair of beautiful eyes that looked bright and radiant as she stared at Murong Li at the door of Wuhu Trading Company without blinking.

If you look closely, you can see the obsession in the woman's eyes.

"Brother, is there any way to get close to him?" the woman asked the man opposite.

"Why are you suddenly interested in this guy, sister?" asked the man opposite Jun Wujin playfully.

Jun Wushuang glanced at him, "Brother, do you know who he is?"

"Could he be the owner of Sihai Bank and Wuhu Commercial Bank?"

Jun Wushuang pursed his lips and said, "Brother is half right. The other half is that he is Prince Li, Murong Li."

In her previous life, Jun Wushuang was forced to marry Murong Yi. When the crown prince fell, everyone thought that the next emperor would be Murong Yi. But when the emperor's time was running out, an imperial edict came down to this Northwest County, appointing Murong Li as the crown prince.

Murong Li went through untold hardships to return to the capital, but before she was officially canonized, Murong Yi rebelled. His rebellion failed and he was thrown into prison. As Princess Yi, she was definitely thrown into prison as well, and the Jun family was also implicated and executed.

Half a year later, she and Murong Yi were sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. On the way, Murong Yi escaped and left her behind to be killed by the escorting officers and soldiers.

But she didn't expect that she could live her life again and be reborn before the Jun family went to the capital.

Coincidentally, Murong Li was exiled here at that time. She had an idea in her mind. To get rid of Murong Yi and prevent the Jun family from being executed, she had to get close to Murong Li. What did it matter if he had a fiancée? She could be his concubine.

Murong Li is much more handsome than Murong Yi, and is also more calm.

Not as cunning and impetuous as Murong Yi.

Jun Wujin scoffed at Murong Li. He chuckled and said, "Sister, he's just a prince who's been demoted to a commoner. You'd better not set your eyes on him. How could our Jun family possibly marry someone like him? We'll go to the capital soon, and father will find a husband of equal status for you."

A husband of equal status? When Jun Wushuang thought of Murong Yi, she felt immense hatred in her heart. Even in such a situation, he abandoned her alone and ran away, only to be killed by those soldiers.
