However, it seems that things were not resolved very smoothly. Tie Qingfeng went out in the morning and did not return to the inn until dusk. Song Jiao ordered a table full of dishes and waited for him to come back to eat together.
When Tie Qingfeng returned to the inn braving the wind and snow, Zhu Lin and his group were having dinner downstairs. Although the latter had chosen a corner seat, their presence was so strong that Tie Qingfeng looked straight at them as soon as he looked up.
Seeing that Tie Qingfeng had come over to greet him, Zhu Lin politely invited, "The food has just been served, shall we eat together?"
"No need, there are people waiting upstairs," Tie Qingfeng declined gently, then began to talk about the people of Dujia Village. "The county magistrate found an uninhabited house to settle the villagers there first. Once the snow stops, the government will send people to help the villagers rebuild their houses."
However, before building the houses, the refugees who had fled from other places had to be dealt with first. After thinking it over, the magistrate could only let those refugees participate in building the houses. At that time, the refugees would be settled in Dujia Village. The refugees who helped build the houses would be provided with two meals a day. If they could fill their stomachs, the refugees would settle down.
The sweet potato harvest in the south was considerable in the second half of the year, and some was also harvested in the north, so the disaster relief grain can barely sustain us for now.
Upon hearing Tie Qingfeng's words, Zhu Lin and the others nodded indifferently without much reaction. The former was slightly taken aback. He thought that Zhu Lin and the others would want to know about the people of Dujia Village, but judging from their expressions, he realized that they did not seem to care.
So, your offer to help a couple of days ago was just a passing fancy?
Sigh, I don't quite understand these people.
The capital city.
Shui Li Niang was meeting with her confidante in a corner of the Cold Palace. The confidante brought two important messages: one was that Prince Gong would be arriving in the capital soon, and she needed to arrange a hiding place.
Another one is the adopted daughter of the Zhou family, who is also on her way to the capital. She is escorted by men in white, and is also accompanied by the eldest son of Minister Tie, with dozens of guards around her. The chances of successfully attacking them on the way are very low.
Shui Liniang was also anxious, but there was nothing she could do for the time being. Now that she was in the palace, she could not easily leave the palace without going through the proper channels. She had previously wanted to ask some of Ye Ling'er's secret guards to do things for her.
But after several attempts, Ye Ling'er discovered that she couldn't command these secret guards at all. These assassins only obeyed the dog emperor, and their only task was to protect the princess's safety.
This emperor is really wary. Although he recognized the fake princess, he secretly guarded against her. A group of highly skilled guards surrounded Ye Ling'er's courtyard like an iron barrel, clearly afraid that someone would abduct the princess again.
Ironically, no matter how tightly the emperor guarded her, he was only protecting a fake princess; the real princess was still on her way back to the capital.
Just wait, we'll find a chance to kill that adopted daughter of the Zhou family.
