After Li Mengyue learned of Xie Ruiyuan's true identity, she acted without any scruples.
The child's father is the prince of the current dynasty, so what is she afraid of? Besides, she doesn't want to talk about food issues with Yang Zhijin anymore.
The original intention of looking for Yang Zhijin was to make sure that the food in the space had a legitimate source so that people would not be suspicious.
However, there are still great risks in cooperating with Yang Zhijin.
After all, the grain she took out was not a small amount, millions or even tens of millions of kilograms of grain, which the national treasury might not have.
But she took it out easily, which would have aroused Yang Zhijin's suspicion if she hadn't said anything.
However, based on the time she had spent with Yang Zhijin, she felt that Yang Zhijin's character was fine and that he was an official who was dedicated to serving the people.
Even though it would make Yang Zhijin suspicious, she couldn't care less as the number of refugees was increasing.
If it's dealt with one day later, the possibility of problems will increase, and the number of deaths will increase. This is not what she wants to see.
Her original intention was to save the refugees and give them a chance to live, not to watch them struggle and die in despair.
In the absence of a choice, Yang Zhijin is naturally the best choice, but the child's father is already there, and the father's identity is so awesome.
She would not let it go easily, so it would be safer to find the child's father.
"Well, County Magistrate Yang, just ignore what I said about the grain issue. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."
"Miss Li, Li."
Yang Zhijin looked at him and asked a question. Li Mengyue stood up and left, looking very confused.
He didn't know how he had offended Li Mengyue.
Even though he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't let Li Mengyue go.
He had no way to solve the food problem and had no channels to obtain large amounts of food.
Asking rich families to "borrow grain" is a very bad idea. They don't want to use this method unless it is absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhijin stood up and was about to chase Li Mengyue.
“Ahem!”
Suddenly Yang Zhijin stopped again.
Turning to look at his friend in the main seat, he explained, "Ruiyuan, Miss Li must have a lot of food. I don't know where she got it from, but I know it can partially solve our current situation."
Xie Ruiyuan didn't respond to Yang Zhijin's words. Instead, he said, "Don't worry about Miss Li's affairs. Just find a way to stabilize the victims. I will find a way to provide food."
He left after saying that, and by the time Yang Zhijin reacted, Xie Ruiyuan had already reached the door.
Yang Run, who was inquiring about the news at the city gate, happened to meet Xie Ruiyuan and immediately knelt down to pay his respects.
"Meet the King."
"Um."
Only after Xie Ruiyuan walked away did Yang Run dare to stand up.
"Sir, there are a total of 816 disaster victims at the city gate. 356 of them came from Guangping Prefecture, and the rest are all from Yongkang Prefecture."
Just by hearing the number of refugees, Yang Zhijin knew that the refugee problem was far more serious than he had imagined.
If he heard correctly, Li Mengyue had said before that there were only more than 300 victims at the city gate, but after just a quarter of an hour, there were more than 400 more.
It is still unknown how many disaster victims are on the way to Wuning County.
But now is not the time for him to think about these things. The most urgent thing is to quickly distribute porridge to those who are almost dying and save their lives.
As for the food problem, his friend had already told him not to worry about it, so he just had to find a way to resettle the victims.
And he knew very well that since his friend had come to Wuning County, it meant that he had already taken control of the entire Qingshan Prefecture.
In other words, Prince You is now the top leader of Qingshan, and all officials, big and small, must obey his orders.
In fact, Yang Zhijin's guess was correct. When Xie Ruiyuan learned that Song Guangqing had made moves on Li Mengyue and had dirty thoughts about Li Mengyue, he wanted to kill Song Guangqing.
