Chapter 105: Siege of Li Yanting
For a whole morning, Qi Shaokang said the same thing to every refugee who came to receive the porridge, either saying that the other party's clothes were too torn or that the shoes were too simple.
A large number of victims were transported from Baisha Town. Lin Xing was so busy that he had no time to worry about the movements in Qi Shaokang.
The group of refugees were afraid that they would not be able to catch up after Li Yanting sent the supplies, so they all refused to leave.
Qi Shaokang also accompanied them "understandably" from morning to afternoon.
The afternoon sun was too fierce, and Qi Shaokang hid in the shade under the eaves of the prefect's door, and the trees were crowded with people.
Many people failed to grab the place and struggled to come to Qi Shaokang, and said hoarsely: "Mr. County Master, when will Lord Li arrive?"
Qi Shaokang frowned and pretended to be a headache and said, "Strange, why is Lord Li still in the future?"
He looked at Qin Guangqi behind him and said, "Go and ask, what's going on with Lord Li?"
Qin Guangqi got the order and went down immediately.
Qi Shaokang comforted the people: "We must believe Lord Li, Lord Li is a destined official sent by the court. We agreed yesterday that he might have been delayed on the road. I am sending someone to ask, don't be impatient."
The people exposed to the sun had to force themselves, but after being blistered, they were scorched by the sun.
Even people who are made of iron may not be able to withstand it.
They insisted on distributing materials in their hearts.
He waited until Qin Guangqi came back, and he looked around and looked at him. He wanted to say something when he pulled Qi Shaokang down. Qi Shaokang was unwilling at first and insisted on waiting outside with the people. But after Qin Guangqi muttered something in his ear, his expression changed drastically, and he followed Qin Guangqi down.
This phenomenon caused the refugees waiting outside to have to think a lot.
Their lips were chapped by the sun, but their eyes were all looking at the prefect.
Seeing Qi Shaokang come out, they had long left some etiquette behind them. They lay on the ground and asked dyingly: "Mr. County Master, when will Lord Li come? Can you give me some water? We are almost unable to hold on!"
Seeing that the people in front were indeed pale and dying, Qi Shaokang felt frightened and quickly sent someone to take out the water tank and lined up for people to scoop water to drink.
After a scoop of water, the people in front felt that most of them had survived. They were gasping for breath. Thinking of Qi Shaokang's reaction just now, and thinking of Qi Shaokang's guilty expression just now.
The family is at a time when everything is in trouble, and there are also the withered crops waiting for them to work. This was a day of delay, and maybe it would be a few lives.
They had no idea and did not dare to waste time with Qi Shaokang. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, their voices almost humble to the ground: "Mr. County Master, will Lord Li come? We trust you so much, you can't be careless with us!"
"This..." Qi Shaokang raised his eyebrows, looked down at the ground, paused, and said, "Forget it, since everyone calls me the county magistrate, I will treat everyone as a parent official. It's because I thought it too simple. I didn't expect that Lord Li didn't buy anything... It's also a problem for everyone to wait here for so long."
"What?!"
Many people opened their eyes wide. They had been doing nothing here for so long, but they only told them now that Lord Li had not bought anything. Before they finished drinking the water, the scoop in their hands could not hold it because of their anger and fell to the ground.
"Mr. County Master, you really did this matter insanely. If you didn't buy it, you couldn't say it earlier? The time you delayed is all the money you bought for life!"
"Mr. County Master, we still call you the County Master. Alas."
"Isn't this just slipping away from us, deliberately playing us like monkeys?"
“…”
These words are heard in Qi Shaokang, and he is happy in his heart. He will mock and be disappointed.
Anyway, these words will all be back on Li Yanting.
After the voices around him calmed down most of the time, Qi Shaokang said guiltily: "I told Lord Li about this last night, but I didn't expect Lord Li to leave this matter behind. I didn't say it to Lord Li as soon as possible, so I released these news with you. It's my incompetence. What are your dissatisfaction with me? I will accept beating and scolding me."
Qi Shaokang has a sincere attitude and is also a parent, so he is not angry for a while.
In the midst of the entanglement, Li Yanting happened to walk here and saw a group of people surrounding the prefect and looked over at him with a blank look on his face. It was obvious that he was not sure about the situation.
He just walked to the prefect's door and saw Qi Shaokang looking over anxiously, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, why are you here? I'll take care of this matter alone. You'd better hide quickly!"
Lord Li?
Lord Li!
Everyone instantly looked at the end of Qi Shaokang's sight, and when they saw Li Yanting walking towards him with brisk steps, they felt depressed and even more angry.
They rushed towards Li Yanting and cursed angrily: "Dog official, it turns out that you are Li Yanting!"
"I took the money but didn't do anything. I think it was all embezzled by you, right?"
“…”
These people have been wandering on the brink of death countless times. They are already resentful of floods, and Li Yanting's incident is even more of a fuse.
They urgently need someone to vent their anger, and Qi Shaokang will still be their county magistrate in the future.
It is best to bully someone like Li Yanting who only stays for a few months.
They rushed over and suddenly pushed Li Yanting to the ground. They groped countless hands on Li Yanting, trying to find some valuable items.
Qi Shaokang pretended to stop him, but was stopped by the woman squatting beside him: "Mr. County Master, you should not get into this muddy water, so as not to cause trouble."
Qi Shaokang looked at the wall of people piled up by countless people and calmed down, but he felt a little timid in his heart.
"What are you doing? The person who came, how could you allow me to be so arrogant in front of the prefect!"
A sharp shout came, Lin Xing and Zhao Jie stood side by side, and Lin Xing held a white jade token in his hand.
There is a word "风" on the token, which is Zhou Yan's token!
Zhou Yan had already given instructions that seeing the token is like seeing someone. Even if Zhou Yan dies, Zhou Yan's subordinates must always follow the token master.
Almost in an instant, all the soldiers in the palace were stunned and surrounded them with long swords.
No one is so ridiculous that he really wants to lose his life to vent his anger.
Seeing that the soldiers of the mansion took out their spears and moved them, these people also dispersed one after another, and the men took down these people who were provoking trouble.
Lin Xing looked at Li Yanting who was lying on the ground and said angrily: "Why do you want to besiege Lord Li?"
This was the first time they saw Lin Xing feel so angry that they all lowered their eyes and dared not speak.
Lin Xing looked at Qi Shaokang and called her name for the first time. Her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing some dangerous signals: "Qi Shaokang?"
