Chapter 31: Prepare for a Rainy Day



Most of the officers and soldiers in the government office were taken away by Jun Beiqi. Looking at the victims who were on the verge of emotional breakdown, Lin Zan knew that if this continued, the situation would be out of control.

At this critical moment, Lin Zhan asked someone to bring a stool, and then the small figure climbed onto the stool. At this moment, she was a head taller than anyone else.

Soon, the victims noticed this bean-sized girl and stared at her with their hungry eyes.

"I know you are all dissatisfied with the porridge that is half mixed with sand, but the relief grain is on the way. You must trust the court and the emperor. He will never let you starve to death."

The victims saw that Lin Zhan was only a five or six-year-old child, so they naturally didn't believe her and kept shouting, "Why should we believe you? You're just a child."

"Although I am only a child, I guarantee with my life that the relief food will arrive in half a day. If my promise cannot be fulfilled, I am willing to die as a token of my guilt."

Lin Zhan issued the military order in a sonorous and powerful voice. Everyone who heard it was stunned. Even Si Xueyi, who was hiding behind the government office, looked at Lin Zhan in surprise.

Although the victims did not know it, the people in the government office knew that the relief grain had been robbed by the bandits from Langshou Mountain.

Although Jun Beiqi has led his soldiers to suppress the bandits and retrieve the relief grain, it is impossible to resolve the matter within half a day.

However, Lin Zhan's firm words finally convinced the victims, and they gave Lin Zhan half a day to collect food.

The remaining officials in the government office never imagined that one day they would be shocked and led by a six-year-old girl.

"Miss Lin, you shouldn't have said such big words just now. It's already not easy for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come back within two days, let alone half a day?" Si Xueyi said to Lin Zan with a complaint.

After all, judging from the attitude of the victims just now, if they cannot get food in half a day, they will probably break into the government office. By that time, things will be out of control.

At this moment, Lin Zan was too lazy to act cute in front of Si Xueyi. He turned his head to look at Si Xueyi and said with disdain.

"If Miss Si can't help us come up with a solution to this crisis, then please don't make sarcastic remarks here and dampen everyone's morale."

"I'm just worried that the victims will riot, causing more casualties." Si Xueyi lowered her head with a look of grievance, portraying her character of a little white flower to the fullest.

But in this situation, Lin Zhan hated such people the most, and snorted coldly. "I want someone who can solve problems, not someone who repeats them over and over again. If Miss Si doesn't have any solution to this problem, then get out."

After saying that, Lin Zan no longer paid any attention to Si Xueyi, but turned around and said something to Qin Huai.

Si Xueyi, who was directly ignored, had a very strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that she came to the southwest to do something big, and this situation should not be like this at all.

The oppressed feeling made Si Xueyi's face even gloomier, and she finally left the lobby.

Lin Zhan and Qin Huai were still talking about something. Finally, Qin Huai's eyes flashed with surprise. He looked at Lin Zhan with admiration and said, "Although Miss Lin is still young, she knows how to plan ahead. It really makes us ashamed!"

"I just prepared another way for myself, but I didn't expect to really use it. You should hurry up and prepare, and make sure everything is ready tonight." Lin Zan's little face was full of seriousness.

Ever since Empress Zhang gave birth to a princess, Lin Zan felt that the plot of the original book was changing quietly.

It was not that she was completely unprepared, but she did not expect that the preparation would be used this time.

The sky gradually darkened, but the victims outside the government office did not disperse because they were waiting for Lin Zan to fulfill his promise.

On the other side, at the end of a narrow path, Qin Huai and some people from the government office were waiting there anxiously. Soon, a group of people appeared in everyone's sight.

When this group of people appeared, a look of joy appeared on Qin Huai's face, and then he saw carts of food being pulled over by these people.

"This must be Lord Qin." The leader was a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing a gray robe. He bowed politely to Qin Huai.

Qin Huai hurriedly took a few steps forward and returned the greeting. "Yes, I am Qin Huai. You must be the person Miss Lin is talking about."

"That's right. This is the grain my young lady asked us to deliver. There are five thousand dan in total. Sir Qin, please check it." The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Qin Huai shook his head, asked the soldiers to take over the food, and hurried back to the city.

At this moment, the time had arrived at the gate of the government office. Lin Zan sat upright on the armchair, looking at the victims with a tense face.

"Little girl, the half day is up. Where is the food you promised to give us?"

"That's right. Don't take advantage of your young age to deceive us. If we are still hungry, you can't blame us for what we did."

In an instant, a large number of disaster victims, instigated by some people with ulterior motives, once again approached the government office.

Si Xueyi, who was standing next to her, said something sarcastic to Lin Zhan. "Ms. Lin, once you say something, it's like spilling water on it. But how can you fulfill your promise? Is Miss Lin really going to give up her head?"

When she said this, Si Xueyi pretended to be scared, but the corners of her mouth hidden behind the handkerchief curled up into an imperceptible smile.

"Or else, Miss Lin, why don't you hide? I will never tell them where you are hiding." At this time, Si Xueyi was still pretending to be a good person. She pulled Lin Zan's hand and wanted her to hide in the government office to avoid the limelight temporarily.

But what she didn't expect was that Lin Zhan shook her hand off the next second, with a puzzled look on his face, "Who said I was going to hide? The food is coming soon, why should I hide?"

"Ms. Lin, why are you so stubborn? Saving your life is the most important thing!" Si Xueyi saw Qin Huai and others running towards her in a hurry, so she hurriedly pretended to say.

Lin Zan was too lazy to act with her, and ignored her and went to meet Qin Huai and others.

Qin Huai nodded slightly at Lin Zhan, indicating that the matter had been done.

Then Lin Zhan shouted at the victims at the loudest voice he had ever heard. "The food has arrived. Those who line up can get it. Those who don't line up will be killed on the spot."

Such decisive and murderous words instantly calmed down the rebellious victims. Qin Huai and others also took the opportunity to bring food. Coupled with the deterrence of force, the victims indeed calmed down.
