Chapter 455 Tangli's Worries
When they arrived at the north of the city, they saw that there were more people there, all crowded under narrow sheds, hiding from the rain.
Everyone was dressed in rags, covered in mud, and had dirty faces.
"When will this rain stop?"
"Yeah, there's no end to these days."
"Thanks to the Fan family, otherwise we would have starved to death."
"I heard that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to deal with the flood."
"Imperial envoys are useless. Aren't there enough of them in the past few years? What happened in the end?"
"Yes, once they come, we have to serve them. They are all masters!"
"The Imperial Commissioner is also good. Mr. Song is the Imperial Commissioner. If Mr. Song were still here, we wouldn't be like this."
"Mr. Song...Alas, God is blind."
A strong wind blew, and the shed swayed from side to side, and it seemed like it was about to collapse.
"Quick, hold on to that pillar."
"If this collapses, we won't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain!"
“You go there!”
The victims quickly stood up and frantically tried to hold on to the pillars around them, while some even tried to hold down the roof.
A woman suddenly appeared and quickly grabbed a pillar.
However, the pillar was too heavy and the wind was too strong, and it was about to collapse.
Another figure appeared there and held the defense for her.
Fan Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the people around him: "Thank you..."
She was surprised to see the people helping her.
"It's you."
The other person is so dazzlingly beautiful that one glance at her is enough to make people remember her.
It was Tangli.
Fan Yuexi didn't expect that she looked so thin and petite, but was so strong.
Fan Chunxi also hurriedly tried his best to support himself.
A gust of wind blew, and although the tent was barely standing, the roof was blown to pieces, and hundreds of people were all drenched in the rain.
"The rain seems to be getting heavier..." Fan Yuexi frowned as he looked at the huddled victims.
"Miss Fan, let's rebuild the roof." Several stronger victims said.
Fan Yuexi nodded.
"This shed can't last much longer. I have to think of a way..." Fan Yuexi said, and walked in one direction.
Tangli also followed.
"Madam, madam, you are wet." Qiuyue ran over and provided an umbrella for Tangli.
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of this little rain." Tang Li said.
Tangli kept walking, Qiuyue took out a handkerchief and wiped the water off her body.
Fan Yuexi went to find a young man, who was her brother.
"Brother, we have to find a way to resettle these disaster victims." Fan Yuexi said.
"Women, children and some sick people are all arranged in the Fan Mansion. There are more than 300 people, and we can only accommodate 200 people at most. But there are nearly 2,000 people here..." Fan Yuanwei frowned, feeling very embarrassed.
"Brother, why don't we go find other wealthy families in the county and ask them for help..."
"Everyone should mind their own business. They are keeping their doors closed and don't want to get involved in this matter. It's not like you haven't looked for them before," said Fan Yuanwei.
"This isn't a solution..."
Both brother and sister were in great difficulty.
Fan Yuexi looked at the rain in front of her: "The rain is getting heavier..."
"I'll look for it again!" Fan Yuexi made the decision.
"I have a way." At this moment, a voice sounded.
Fan Yuexi and Fan Yuanwei looked at the person who came.
"Miss..." Fan Yuexi remembered that she had said her name, "Miss Tang, what can you do? I haven't seen you before. Are you from Hegu County?"
"I come from the capital." Tang Li said.
From the capital?
Judging from her extraordinary temperament, she must be a noble. Could she be a young lady from a wealthy family, returning to visit her ancestors? However, she really didn't catch the right time.
"Miss Tang, do you have any ideas?" Fan Yuexi asked.
"The Chunmian Villa in the east of the city can accommodate several thousand people." Tang Li said.
"Spring Sleep Villa?" Fan Yuexi was surprised, because this villa was built by the county magistrate for his enjoyment.
How could the owner of such a luxurious villa use it to house disaster victims?
"County Magistrate Chu has been executed by the imperial envoy." Tang Li said.
Fan Yuexi and Fan Yuanwei both knew about this matter.
Even though it was a great relief to the people, we could not expect the imperial envoy to care about the victims and give up such a nice villa.
"This imperial envoy may not leave the villa empty." Fan Yuexi said.
"I can make the decision on this matter." Tang Li said.
Fan Yuexi looked at Tang Li. Could it be that she had something to do with this imperial envoy?
"The Imperial Envoy, Lord Wu, is my husband." Tang Li said.
Fan Yuexi was surprised. She was actually the wife of the imperial envoy?
She had an extraordinary temperament, but her clothes were actually ordinary. Now her body was mostly wet from the rain and covered in mud, but she didn't care at all. She had just helped her hold the pillar and had no airs at all.
It is hard to imagine that she is the wife of the imperial envoy, such a noble identity.
"Miss Fan, Mr. Fan, just move your people to Chunmian Villa," Tang Li said. "I'll go make the arrangements first. Once you arrive, you can go straight in."
After Tang Li finished speaking, he turned around and left without any delay.
Fan Yuexi and Fan Yuanwei were both delighted. It was great that the problem was solved!
"This lady is such a nice person. I think this imperial envoy is different from the previous ones." Fan Yuanwei said.
"Yes, maybe the people of Hegu County can be saved." Fan Yuexi said.
Tangli rushed to Chunmian Villa again.
The person in charge there is still the original person.
County Magistrate Chu was executed, and several officials were trembling with fear at this time.
Tang Li said that he wanted to open the villa and house the disaster victims there. They didn't dare to say anything and could only open the door obediently.
"How many people are there in this villa?" Tang Li asked.
"Madam, there are fifty-two people in total," said the steward.
"Alright, when the disaster victims come in, you will obey the orders of Miss Fan and Master Fan, help them resettle the victims, and provide them with food and clothes." Tang Li said, her face suddenly cold. "If you don't obey, I will not let you off easily!"
Tang Li looks like a very gentle person on weekdays, but when he has a cold face, he is still very imposing.
The servants immediately knelt down.
"Minion/servant obeys your command!"
Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the luxurious villa, and sighed softly.
It is true that the rich have wine and meat, but the poor freeze to death on the streets.
"Madam, you are all wet. Why don't you go back and take a shower?" Qiuyue said.
Qiuyue followed Tangli all the way and saw more clearly how good this lady was.
She is humble and genuinely concerned about the people.
How can she be so good?
Such a good person must be well, Qiuyue is really worried about her health.
Tang Li nodded and returned to the county government office.
As soon as I got back, I took a shower and changed my clothes.
Outside, it was already dark.
Tangli called the yamen runners and questioned them.
"Master Wu and Master Xu haven't come back yet?" Tang Li asked.
"He hasn't come back yet. There was a mountain torrent today, and another village was flooded." The bailiff reported.
Flash flood?
It’s so late and her husband hasn’t come back yet. Is anything wrong?
Tangli's heart was in a knot.
