Chapter 240 She is so good

Gu Jingchun watched this scene and slowly climbed the steps of the County Magistrate's Mansion with Gu Jinxi.

The evening wind blew sand and dust onto her face, but she straightened her back and her voice penetrated the twilight:

"My dear elders! Natural disasters may be unpredictable, but the human heart is immortal!

If this porridge stall doesn't collapse today, new food will arrive tomorrow!"

She took out Shen Hechuan's seal and held it high above her head.

"I'm here on orders from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if it costs me all my wealth, I'm going to make every stove smoke!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd was silent for a moment, and then erupted into thunderous cheers.

The white-haired old woman trembled and raised her bowl of porridge: "God has opened his eyes and sent a living Bodhisattva!"

The refugees held the coarse earthenware bowls high above their heads, and their turbid tears dripped into the still warm porridge, reflecting tiny rays of light in the setting sun.

Gu Jingchun looked at the rekindled vitality on this barren land, and a bitter sweetness rose in his throat.

Beside him, Gu Jinxi looked at the scene in front of him and felt his heartbeat in his chest getting faster and faster.

A strong idea gradually took shape during these days and reached its peak at this moment.

Things should have almost ended here.

But I don’t know who started it.

The people actually began to shout that Gu Jing was a living Bodhisattva, a goddess from heaven who had come to the world to save them.

In the future, I will definitely erect a goddess statue for Gu Jingchun and sculpt a golden body.

Gu Jingchun: ...

This is unnecessary.

However, looking at these people, it doesn't look like they are joking.

Gu Jingchun then explained to them again that he was the Crown Prince's man.

He repeatedly stated that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would arrive soon.

"Since His Royal Highness is the crown prince of a country, he will naturally consider everyone's interests at all times.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrives, he will certainly find other ways to help everyone."

After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, everyone began to praise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his wise move.

But despite this, everyone's eager eyes looking at Gu Jingchun remained unchanged.

The idea of ​​building a statue for her has not changed.

Of course, Gu Jingchun didn’t know all this.

They already knew that Gu Jingchun killed Li Kui.

Li Kui has oppressed them in various ways over the years. In their eyes, whoever can kill Li Kui will be their hero.

For three consecutive days, Gu Jingchun stood guard at the door and personally supervised the distribution of porridge and grain to the people.

Her appearance was also deeply imprinted in the minds of the people.

By the fourth day, the food supply was almost gone.

However, people from other places continued to flock in.

Just when the people were starting to get restless because they had no food.

Several carriages entered the city gate.

Seeing this, the anxious Gu Jinxi shouted happily.

"Mother, the food you bought from somewhere else has arrived."

When everyone heard this, they realized that Gu Jingchun had actually bought these grains with his own money.

My respect and admiration for her is even deeper.

After that day, Gu Jingchun ordered the others to stay here, while he quickly went to where his adoptive mother was.

Because Ye Wenxi had just told her that her adoptive mother's condition was worse than before.

Gu Jingchun couldn't wait any longer and drove over immediately.

Shortly after Gu Jingchun left, several horses hurried into the city.

The feeling Chen Hechuan has had these days can no longer be described simply as worry.

After settling all the refugees in Jizhou, he personally selected officials to temporarily take over as county magistrates.

After confirming everything, Chen Hechuan quickly rushed to Qi County.

Because he had learned from the refugees that the situation in Qi County was much more serious than he had imagined.

Moreover, the governor of Qi County is full of evil and dominates the area.

He was afraid that Gu Jingchun would be troubled by them, and even more afraid that the refugees would hurt Gu Jingchun.

To this end, he ran non-stop for several days, killing several horses, and finally arrived in Qi County in the fastest time.

But he never expected it.

Qi County was not as miserable as he had imagined.

The scenes of civilians lying dead all over the ground and disaster victims everywhere did not appear.

The people on the whole street were smiling, and even the look they gave Chen Hechuan was full of curiosity, not pleading.

This made Shen Hechuan slightly confused.

The same goes for the secret behind you.

He couldn't help but drive his horse forward and asked in confusion.

"Your Highness, why is this different from what I expected?"

"Based on our experience in other places, shouldn't there be corpses everywhere by now, and people immediately surrounding us and choking on the food?"

This question had been answered by the time they arrived at the county magistrate's office.

At this time, in the county magistrate's office, all the people were queuing up in an orderly manner to receive food.

Even the thin and young children were queuing quietly.

After receiving the porridge, they all expressed gratitude.

This made Tianji even more confused.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't we just get news a few days ago that the governor, Li Kui, is oppressing the people. There's no food in the granary, and the people are almost starving to death?"

"Where does this food come from?"

After Tianji finished speaking, before Shen Hechuan could speak, he heard the people on the roadside exclaim.

"Your Highness?"

"You just called this person Your Highness. Is this the legendary Crown Prince?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes followed the man's gaze and fell on Shen Hechuan.

Shen Hechuan nodded and was about to explain the situation when he saw everyone kneeling on the ground.

"May Your Highness be blessed with good health. Thank you for your concern and care for us."

"We will never forget your great kindness."

Chen Hechuan: ...

what happened?

An hour later, Chen Hechuan finally learned what had happened from everyone's chatter.

After learning that Gu Jingchun had killed Li Kui and looted all his food, Shen Hechuan was surprised for a moment.

But, it was soon replaced by admiration.

He thought to himself, this woman is worthy of being the one he has chosen, she is brave and resourceful, and can make decisions promptly at critical moments, this is the material to be a queen.

But he also learned that Gu Jingchun spent his own money to buy grain at a high price from other places, but distributed it to the people in his name.

My heart was instantly filled.

She, this is clearly helping her win people's hearts.

She knew he would come after her.

She also knew that he would not turn a blind eye to the people, so she did everything for him in advance.

His Gu Jingchun!

She is so nice, how could he bear to let her go?

Chen Hechuan's heart was pounding, and he couldn't wait to see Gu Jingchun.

But, just when he was asking about Gu Jingchun's location.

But he found that the secret guard he sent to follow Gu Jingchun had returned!

Gu Jingchun had long known that Shen Hechuan had arranged people around her.

Along the way, they also helped her a lot in secret.

It was also clear that they had been sending messages to Shen Hechuan.

She doesn't care about these things, and even welcomes them.
