Chapter 74 Distress
The refugees kept shouting: "Give us some food, just a little. Just a little, we can survive. Please. Give us some! You are a rich family, you don't lack these..."
The refugees' voices came one after another, mixed and overwhelming, and louder than the last. More and more people were talking, and the refugees from all directions gathered towards Yin Zijin and Zhang's carriage.
Among the refugees, a very bright voice came from somewhere: "The nobles, the aristocratic families, and those wealthy landlords, they only want to make money for themselves, why would they care about our lives? Charge forward, there must be food on the carriage, grab it, we can hold on for a while..."
After hearing these words, the refugees from all directions became even more excited and ran towards the carriage like the wind. The two carriages were forced to stop on the road. Fortunately, there were guards from Yin Mansion, Ye Shisan, Ye Shisi, and Chen Lu, who stood in front of the two carriages with swords in hand, and thus managed to stop the refugees who were eyeing them hungrily and acting like wolves and tigers.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and the people inside heard everything that was said outside. Aunt Wang was so anxious that she didn't care about anything else. She opened the curtain with her hand and watched more and more refugees gathering around the carriage. Those refugees were like hungry wolves pouncing on meat, with shining eyes, which made Aunt Wang panic, as if the refugees were going to eat her alive.
Aunt Wang quickly lowered the curtain and said tremblingly: "What should we do? Those people seem to want to eat me. Let's leave the food behind and leave quickly!"
I haven't spent the silver that the lady gave me yet! I thought I was lucky enough to have a job in Yin's mansion. But in this situation, it won’t…”
Yin Zijin quickly stopped her and said, "No, Aunt Wang. The hungry people now only want to fill their stomachs and don't care about anything else. If we give them food now, the hungry people will only gather more and more. How much food do we have?"
In front of a group of starving people who are about to die, there are no rules to follow. What we have to do now is to rush out. Once we are safe, we will distribute the food to the victims.
Otherwise, those hungry people will tear us to pieces. Sometimes, if kindness and good intentions are not used in the right place, others will despise and complain about you, and you will suffer as a result. In more serious cases, it may cost one's life. ”
After finishing speaking, Yin Zijin put on his veiled hat, opened the curtain of the carriage window, and whispered: "Chenlu."
Chen Lu quickly came to Yin Zijin's eyes, and Yin Zijin whispered: "Stop the refugees and rush out. But don't hurt them, they are innocent, they left their homes and forced us, they really have no other choice. You go and talk to Ye Shisan and Ye Shisi."
The noise outside the carriage just covered up Yin Zijin's voice.
After hearing this, Chen Lu quickly replied: "Yes, Sixth Miss. I will go and discuss it with them right away."
Yin Zijin said anxiously: "Hurry up! If you are slow, I am afraid the refugees will riot..."
On the other side, Zhang was listening to what the refugees outside were saying. The carriage suddenly stopped, and Zhang's heart was in turmoil. After all, Zhang was a woman in a deep house, just immersed in the deep house. In this situation, Zhang hurriedly asked: "Ye Shisan, what should we do now?"
Ye Shisan held the long sword in his hand and said quickly: "Madam, don't worry." Then he shouted to the refugees: "Everyone, don't worry. This place is the closest to Fu'an Temple. If you go to Fu'an Temple, you will have food to eat.
We only have two carriages, how much food can you put in them? There's not enough for you to share. It's no use for you to surround us. It’s better to hurry to Fu’an Temple. ”
After hearing Ye Shisan's words, the hungry people were somewhat persuaded. Their eyes were filled with despair, longing, emptiness, and numbness, but they were still unwilling to leave.
"No, don't listen to their nonsense. They are just fooling us. We can't hold on to the place they said. Go up, capture them, and let them exchange food for people.
If they don’t change, just stew them and eat them to fill your stomach. We are many in number, so what if they have swords? It can't be blocked. ”
Yin Zijin frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He murmured, "No, no. It's like someone is deliberately fanning the flames and doing this on purpose."
After hearing what had just been said, the hungry people were eager to try again, and even the soldiers standing in front of them with swords rushed forward.
Ye Shisan hurriedly shouted, "All soldiers, listen up and stop the hungry people. Ye Shisi, rush out and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Chen Lu, drive the carriage with me and rush out."
With the sound of "Gee", the two carriages rushed outwards like swords with strings released.
The hungry people also rushed over like hungry wolves. Among the crowd, dozens of middle-aged men who looked relatively strong held onto the carriage tightly and followed it, stabbing into the carriage with their knives and sticks...
Yin Zijin, who was sitting in the carriage, never imagined that on that day, several riots by hungry people would occur outside Shangjing City. Was this done intentionally by someone? Or are the hungry people really desperate? Is it a simple harem fight? Or does it involve the court?
