Chapter 319 Why Cover Up
That night.
Because of a steamed bun.
The refugees rushed forward to grab things, pushing and shoving each other, and knocking a lot of people down.
There are too many people, including the elderly, the weak, women and children.
A lot of people died.
Jiang Miaomiao returned home, still a little frightened.
I have seen such stampedes on the news before, but I didn’t expect to experience it myself this time.
They almost became one of them.
Scared to death!
In the future, it’s better to avoid going to crowded places, or you may lose your life if you are not careful.
Jiang Miaomiao returned to the house and started searching everywhere.
"Xi'er, where are my gold and silver jewelry and private money? Please help me find them."
Xier remembered where the girl hid her money: under the bed, in a vase...
As soon as Xiuxiu entered the house, she saw the messy house. If she hadn't seen the little guy sticking his butt out and rummaging through the boxes, she would have been shocked.
She thought a thief had sneaked in.
"What are you looking for those for?" Xiuxiu leaned over curiously.
"Aunt, those women and children are so miserable. They have no clothes to wear and nothing to eat. The old ones are so old and the young ones are not even as old as me. I want to use the money to buy them coats to wear and food to eat, so that they have a place to shelter from the wind and rain." Jiang Miaomiao said seriously.
Encounter this situation.
The people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't get in to rescue.
Either you are trampled to death, or the lucky ones can only escape danger after the crowd is evacuated.
The worst off are the elderly, the weak, women and children.
This kind of thing happened in the imperial city and to refugees. If the court did not handle it properly, it would easily arouse public anger.
People in ancient times were very superstitious.
Rebellion, natural disasters, man-made disasters...
Putting these events together, it is easy to imagine that the emperor had done something that angered both God and man.
Is it God's will? Otherwise, how could a son rebel against his father?
If the rebels make use of this matter again, it will surely lead to another bloody storm.
The consequences are unimaginable.
Therefore, it is very important how the court expresses its attitude at this time.
Mu Qianxue thought of this problem immediately, so she notified the government to evacuate the crowd and handed it over to King Jing for disposal.
King Jing is a prince, representing the royal family and even the emperor's attitude.
He is the most appropriate person to come forward.
It is a challenge, but also a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people.
People from the yamen arrived in time, evacuated the crowd, and settled the refugees who survived.
Many bodies were cleared out, their household registrations were checked as quickly as possible, and then they were buried and their families were given condolences.
King Jing also rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
Most of the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau came to treat the wounded and comfort the people.
Ever since Mu Qianxue decided to become Princess Jing, she decided to face everything together with her fiancé.
She sent the children to Lu Garden and left with the palace soldiers.
When Lu Qingyao heard her daughter say this, the first thing she thought of was that if the princess or the prince handled the matter personally, it would definitely appease the people.
He immediately sent someone to inform Princess Yuqing.
Because of Miaomiao, two unrelated women instantly stood in the same camp.
"Sister, will this matter be traced back to Jiang Zijin? Will it implicate the entire Jiang family?"
Lu Qingyao frowned and thought.
She has been thinking about this question recently.
Jiang Yunze is not good at anything, but there is one good thing about him, which is that he attaches great importance to his career.
He went from being a poor scholar to his current position, and it was not just luck that counted.
He is a cunning man who wants to curry favor with the powerful, but he is also very cautious and thinks three steps ahead. He has seen all the dirty things in the officialdom, but he can still get away with it unscathed.
He always makes others feel that he is a gentleman who is untainted by the mud.
When the Lu family was in trouble, he gained a good reputation.
This time the Qi family fell, but he was able to escape unscathed and gained a good reputation.
Lu Qingyao didn't know what to feel.
When Xiuxiu saw Lu Qingyao frowning and remaining silent, she knew the answer.
Then he gestured to her neck and whispered, "Sister, why don't I secretly deal with that mother and daughter? If they continue to stay in the Jiang family, they will be a threat and will sooner or later implicate others."
Although my sister has left the Jiang family, she still has Brother Feng and the Jiang family members.
It’s not like they haven’t thought about breaking off the relationship.
But that is nothing but self-deception. The government offices don't care about that, otherwise those ministers who plotted rebellion would have removed themselves from the family tree first.
Half of them are loyal to the emperor, and half of them rebel against him. Whether they win or lose, the family will remain standing.
That day was bound to be chaos.
Lu Qingyao naturally knew that keeping the mother and daughter was a hidden danger, but in this matter, it was not her turn to take action.
"Xiu Xiu, don't worry about this. Jiang Yunze has to reap the fruits of his own labor. I have more important things for you to do."
"Sister, tell me."
"Go to the cloth shop and deliver those coats and mattresses they are making to the refugees."
"But that's an order from the Princess's Mansion. If we give it out privately, won't we offend Princess Yuqing?" Xiuxiu knew that her elder sister was kind-hearted, but there was no need to offend that master. She could think of other ways.
"It's okay. It's too late. Just send it over in the name of Princess Yuqing." At this time, not only food but also warm clothes are needed. It happened that she had both in her hands. How could she stand idly by?
It snowed for two days in a row.
The atmosphere in the Jiang Mansion has been a bit depressing these past two days.
Jiang Yunze came out of the study and went straight to Aunt Tao's courtyard.
Although he is starting to feel a little annoyed with Tao Mei now.
He felt that Taomei had changed. Although she was still gentle and obedient to him, the look in his eyes no longer had the same passion as before.
Now all she has in her mind and eyes is Xiaoshu.
When he came, she no longer asked about her well-being, but always complained more, becoming more and more like Qi Caiwei.
Gradually, he no longer wanted to come to Tao Taoyuan, but he still missed Xiaoshu.
His most beloved youngest daughter.
He personally raised her from the ground up, spending a lot of time and effort on her, and the feelings she had for him were different from those for other children.
He now has to see his children almost every day to feel at ease.
When Xiao Zishu saw his father, his eyes sparkled. He smiled and stood up with the help of the stool, calling out in a baby voice, "Daddy... Daddy... Hug me..."
The baby's speech is a little unclear.
Now she cries if she doesn't see her dad before going to bed.
During the days when Jiang Yunze was detained, she called him "Daddy" every day, which made Tao Tao lose a lot of weight.
Tao Tao had already made up her mind that if Jiang Yunze couldn't come back, she would take the children back to Taoxi Village.
She had had enough of this life of fear.
In the village, no matter how difficult life is, as long as you take good care of your own land, you can still survive.
But in the capital, although you are well-fed and well-fed, if you are not careful, other people's mistakes can implicate you and cost you your life.
You have to be cautious and careful in everything you do, for fear of making any mistakes.
Even though she has given up now and is no longer afraid of Qi and Madam Jiang.
Still unwilling to go out.
Seeing that the father and daughter were having fun, Tao Tao was about to say something when she heard Butler Wang come to report.
"Master, something happened at our soup kitchen. Many refugees were killed or injured. The government is investigating the cause and I'm afraid they'll find our house."
Jiang Yunze was startled. "How could something go wrong just by distributing porridge?"
"It was the third girl. She personally went to the porridge stall to distribute porridge and threw the steamed buns to the refugees, which caused them to scramble for it... Many people were killed or injured."
Jiang Yunze gritted his teeth.
Why did Jin'er, such a well-behaved child, run to the porridge shed for no reason? It was either Qi Caiwei's instigation or the servants' instigation.
Although he was extremely angry, he chose to deal with it calmly at the first moment.
He ordered Steward Wang, "Confine the Third Young Lady and Concubine Qi to kneel in the ancestral hall. Do not come out without my order."
Tao Tao was very unhappy when she heard this and asked, "Brother Yunze, so many people have died, why are you still protecting them? Do you want them to harm the whole family before you are willing to hand them over?"
