Chapter 176: Fuchuan Town, Refugee Riot 2
Su Wanyan was a little shocked. She didn't expect Ji Xiaohan to be so domineering. "All the expenses will be paid by Prince Xiao's Mansion? That's a lot of money. Is the working capital at the shop enough? Or take some from me?"
Ji Xiaohan raised his hand and pinched the little princess's tender face. "Princess Lao, please be careful. I still have the money. Don't worry, even if I'm down and out, these local officials won't dare to disobey me."
Su Wanyan nodded. She was naturally relieved. In the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Ji Xiaohan's status was far higher than that of the Dog Emperor. This was one of the reasons why the Dog Emperor had always disliked Ji Xiaohan. Not only was his achievements so great that they frightened the emperor, he also held an army of 100,000 and was more popular than the Dog Emperor. For someone like Ji Xiaohan, the Dog Emperor wanted to sentence him to death on the spot, but he didn't dare to do so. He could only use these inferior little tricks to torment Ji Xiaohan.
However, they did not know that such means not only failed to suppress Ji Xiaohan, but also gave Ji Xiaohan a good reason to force him to abdicate. Even in the hearts of the common people, Ji Xiaohan, who never gave up in the face of difficulties, was admired by everyone. This time, opening the city gates to resettle the refugees and opening the warehouses to provide relief was the best opportunity to show his ability.
The dog emperor didn't care, but Prince Xiao did. After the refugees had survived the difficulties, Prince Xiao's good reputation among the people rose to a higher level.
No matter what this man does, he never forgets to suppress the dog emperor. If the dog emperor knew about this, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would die?
The exile team stopped, and they also stopped. Rong Mama directed several guards to set up a pot and light a fire to prepare dinner.
Shu Mingyuan saw that the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion had caught up in time, so he walked over to greet He Bo. The topic the two talked about most was the refugee riot that they were about to face.
The refugees during the riots will not listen to reason and will rob whatever they see. With so many people in this exile group, they will definitely be the target of the refugees' attacks.
"He, Chief Steward, I won't hide it from you. The situation in Fuchuan Town ahead is not good. The government's attitude towards refugees is to leave them alone and let them fend for themselves. If we want to pass through Fuchuan Town smoothly, we have to run into them." Shu Mingyuan looked worried.
He Bo smiled and didn't tell Shu Mingyuan that his master had made arrangements. "Don't worry, things will work out in the end. As long as God is kind and doesn't bring heavy rain like last time, the refugees will find a way out and disperse naturally."
He Bo's original intention was just to reassure the worried Shu Mingyuan, but he didn't say it in detail. However, no one expected that He Bo's words "Don't let it rain as heavily as last time" almost sent his two masters away.
Xiao Er returned very quickly. The gate of Fuchuan Town had been opened. The officials of Fuchuan County Government personally led the shop managers to the city gate to distribute porridge, resettle people, and make arrangements. Things were proceeding in an orderly manner.
He Bo and the others were very happy when they heard about it. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shu Mingyuan planned to take the exile team away from Fuchuan Town overnight and go to the next town to rest.
Just as they were hurrying along in the dark, a rumble of thunder in the sky illuminated their path. In the dim light, they saw that the grove beside the official road was actually surrounded by densely packed... refugees?
