Chapter 261 Ning Bao feels sorry for Ling Ling
Although the process of stitching and removing stitches is extremely painful.
However, Shen Junshan had to admit that the stitched-up wound healed very quickly.
After the stitches were removed, Shen Junshan was able to walk slowly.
If you move too much at the beginning, it will tear the wound and cause some pain.
However, this pain was completely within Shen Junshan's tolerance range.
Shen Junshan's injuries have almost healed.
But Lingling, who had fallen into a deep sleep, never woke up.
Ningbao now understood that bloodletting would cause great damage to Lingling.
Lingling only gave blood to Shen Junshan to heal his injuries because of her.
Ningbao felt sorry for Lingling, and whenever she had free time, she would climb onto the cart and hug Lingling.
At this moment, in the Yunlu City Prefectural Governor's Mansion, Prefect Gu Zheyuan had just returned from his post when the gatekeeper came to report.
"My lord, a letter has arrived from the young lady."
Gu Zheyuan was stunned for a moment.
"Young Miss?"
Has Rou'er sent a letter?
"Where's the letter? Bring it to me quickly."
Gu Zheyuan took the letter handed to him by the servant and quickly opened it to read it. After reading the letter, Gu Zheyuan was stunned.
He walked silently to the main courtyard, where Gu Yuanzhe's wife, Chen Shilan, rushed to greet him upon seeing him return.
As Chen Shilan helped Gu Zheyuan take off his outer garment, she asked in bewilderment,
"Husband, you look a little somber today. Is something wrong?"
Gu Zheyuan took out the letter he had just received and handed it to Chen Shilan.
"Rou'er has sent a letter."
Chen Shilan was overjoyed to receive a letter from her best friend and sister-in-law.
"My sister hasn't written in a long time. I was just about to ask my husband if he had any news about her, but I didn't expect to hear from her here."
Chen Shilan was stunned after reading the letter.
"Husband, am I right? Rou'er said in her letter that a village that fled famine from the border helped her. Now the people from that village are about to arrive in Yunlu City, and she hopes that you can help settle them in."
But her husband, Rou'er, shouldn't have never been to the borderlands, right? How could she possibly know people from there?
Gu Zheyuan thought for a moment,
"This is also a problem I can't figure out. However, I received news a while ago that Rou'er brought Mu Yang to Yunlu City. I sent people to pick them up, but there has been no news since."
Chen Shilan frowned.
"So that means my sister isn't in the capital right now. Husband, do you think she might have run into people fleeing famine from the border on her way to Yunlu City?"
Chen Shilan shook her head after speaking.
"That's not right, Rou'er doesn't need to go north to come to Yunlu City from the capital, does she?"
Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't encounter people fleeing famine from the border regions.
However, this is not absolute. I heard a few days ago that a lot of beggars from the border areas who had fled famine have recently come to Yunlu City.
"Who knows, my sister might actually run into them."
Gu Zheyuan nodded.
"right!
This possibility is still quite high.
"Sigh!" Gu Zheyuan sighed softly.
"Our influence in the capital has been too weak all these years. We didn't even know that Yun Rou and her son had left the capital."
Rou'er always reports good news and hides bad news, so there must be a reason why she took Mu Yang away from the Yongyi Marquis's residence this time.
By the way, have the steward send someone to guard the city gate later to see when the people from Shanglin Village arrive. Make sure they are not neglected when they arrive.
Since they have been kind to Rou'er, they are our family's benefactors. We should try to communicate with their leader to see how they want to settle things.
"I need to find Yun Rou and her son as soon as possible. They only have a few trustworthy people around them, and if someone in the capital causes trouble, they will be in great danger."
Gu Zheyuan ate at Chen Shilan's place before leaving for his study. As soon as Gu Zheyuan left, Chen Shilan had someone call the housekeeper.
Upon receiving the order, the steward immediately dispatched a reliable person to the city gate to pick up the person.
Gu Zheyuan was the prefect of Lanlu City and also the highest-ranking official of the third rank in Lanlu City. He had many officials under him.
Regarding the recent increase in the number of displaced people outside the city, Prefect Gu Zheyuan also needs to figure out how to settle them.
Upon returning to his study, Gu Zheyuan first sent a trusted aide out to find his sister and nephew. The aide had barely left when the chief clerk of the prefectural government entered.
"My lord, the prefect and the magistrates of the counties below have sent people to inquire about how to resettle the displaced people these past few days."
They all believed that since the nearby cities were all closed and no refugees were allowed to enter, it would be better for us to refuse to accept refugees as well, for safety reasons.
Gu Zheyuan glanced at the registrar.
"Close the city gates? Does Registrar Feng think closing the city gates is appropriate?"
Registrar Feng paused for a moment, then glanced at Gu Zheyuan.
"My lord, I think we should first look at the number of refugees before deciding whether to accept or reject them. If the number is small, it is acceptable. We can then disperse them and arrange for them to be placed in the villages below."
However, if there are many people, accidents are more likely to occur. For example, in areas with displaced people, petty theft, murder, and robbery will increase. If displaced people gather in groups to loot supplies, it will be troublesome.
