The backyard of Sanwei Bookstore.
"You mean there are refugees in our county?"
Luo Heng looked at Ye Wan'er who was busy in the kitchen in surprise.
When I woke up today, the rain had stopped.
Seeing that there were not many ingredients at home, Ye Wan'er took the initiative to buy them.
Who would have thought that she would bring such "astonishing" news when she came back.
The appearance of refugees in a prosperous county by the river should be regarded as "shocking" news.
"Yes, I heard from my neighbors that refugees appeared outside our county yesterday. The county magistrate and his servants worked hard for a day before they were settled. I don't know if there will be more..."
Ye Wan'er said, with a trace of sadness on her face.
She is a young lady from a merchant family. She traveled extensively with her father in her early years and has seen a lot.
I once saw with my own eyes that some northern refugees were unable to survive, so they began to attack the county town.
That scene was simply Shura hell.
"What happened in the north?"
Luo Heng's face gradually became serious.
He carefully recalled the contents of the book.
But after much deliberation, I could never find any description of refugees and the changes in the north in the book.
The only record that exists is that many years later, the Tunu slaves from the grasslands invaded, the north fell, and a large number of people fled south. They were incited by Mu Qingwan, who had become a villain and a female devil at that time, and formed an uprising army that swept the world.
"The problem of refugees alone can be solved as long as the court is determined to deal with and resettle it."
"I'm just afraid...those who are willing to take advantage of the refugees to make trouble."
Luo Heng thought, and couldn't help but cast his eyes on the girl sitting in a daze under the eaves.
In the book, the girl will incite the refugees to revolt in the future.
However, the girl at that time had already inherited the position of leader of the Demon Cult and had enough means to confuse people.
Luo Heng remembered that the demon sect that the girl inherited was called the Fire Worshiping Mingzun Sect.
They call themselves Zoroastrianism, or Mingzun Cult.
However, they are called the Demon Cult in the world.
The Fire Worshiping Mingzun Cult behaves in a low-key manner. When the world is at peace, they will quietly lurk and accumulate strength.
Once the situation changes, they will set off huge waves that sweep across the world.
Legend has it that when Taizu Taizu of Chu was competing for the world, he relied on the power of the Huo Mingzun Sect.
As for the authenticity, it is unknown.
Officially this statement is absolutely prohibited.
The Great Chu court even classified the Fire Worshiping Mingzun Sect as a cult and repeatedly suppressed it.
However, although the Fire Worshiping Mingzun Cult also likes to rebel, their ideas of rebellion are more "simple". They really jump out to overthrow the tyranny for those heads of Guizhou who cannot survive.
On the other hand, the Maitreya Sect and the White Lotus Sect were also listed as cults by the imperial court.
The former has gradually become a criminal organization that cheats and commits all kinds of evil.
In the arena everyone calls for beating.
And the White Lotus Sect...
That's a rebel professional household.
The flowing dynasty, the iron-clad White Lotus Sect.
No matter which dynasty it is, whether it is prosperous or troubled times, the presence of the White Lotus Sect has never ceased.
Their existence seems to be for the purpose of rebellion.
Luo Heng was worried about the White Lotus Sect.
Even in places like Linxi, which is only across a river from the capital Jinling, there are refugees.
One can imagine how corrupt the North has become.
This will undoubtedly give the White Lotus Sect, a professional rebel group, an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Although Da Chu has many shortcomings and seems to be showing signs of the end of the dynasty, it is still a thousand times stronger than the war."
"If the White Lotus Sect really wants to target the refugees in Linxi..."
Luo Heng frowned and thought to himself.
He decided to go to the north of the city in the afternoon.
…
Stay until afternoon.
Luo Heng appeared alone in the northern suburbs of the city.
Refugees came from the north and were temporarily resettled here by Magistrate Bai.
In a simple shed.
The refugees sat on the ground.
Someone looked at Luo Heng and the others numbly.
Some people lowered their heads and sobbed softly.
There were also people huddled in the shed, shivering.
The expected messy scene did not appear. Magistrate Bai obviously put a lot of thought into it.
"Brother Ziyu."
Luo Heng was observing the refugees when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
He turned around and saw Magistrate Bai's figure leaping into view.
He was not wearing official uniform, only a gray short shirt, and he looked like an old farmer.
If he hadn't been accompanied by government officials, no one would have believed that he was the county magistrate.
"Ziyu, we meet again."
A straight figure slowly walked out from behind the government officials.
But it was Su Yunxuan.
"I've met your lord, I've met Brother Su."
Luo Heng smiled slightly and bowed to Magistrate Bai and Su Yunxuan.
He didn't wonder why Magistrate Bai and Su Yunxuan were here.
The former is probably still busy settling the refugees.
As for the latter, he originally had the ambition to help the world and bring peace to the people. Hearing the appearance of refugees, it would be strange not to come.
"Brother Ziyu, please talk to Yunxuan."
After a few brief greetings, Magistrate Bai led the government servants into the crowd of refugees and got busy.
Su Yunxuan came over and stood beside Luo Heng.
"Ziyu, what do you think when you look at this scene?"
Su Yunxuan glanced at Luo Heng lightly and asked.
Obviously, there was something in his words.
"Man-made disasters are better than natural disasters, and harsh government is more fierce than evil tigers."
Luo Heng replied.
Su Yunxuan seemed very satisfied with Luo Heng's answer, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.
"That being the case, do you still have no ambition?"
These words may sound sarcastic at first, but judging from Su Yunxuan's expression, it doesn't look like that.
Luo Heng smiled and was about to speak.
From the far end, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.
The ground trembled faintly.
The faces of the refugees in the shed also showed panic and anxiety.
Luo Heng and Su Yunxuan looked at each other.
Several embroidered and dressed cavalrymen were riding in.
The first two people walking side by side were Zhuque and Xuanwu among the four great governors of Xiuyi.
Before he could get close, Xuanwu had already pulled the reins, slowed down, and jumped down.
"Master Su, you are fine... Hey, sir... is here too?"
Xuanwu hugged Su Yunxuan's fists, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Luo Heng beside Su Yunxuan, and his expression was startled.
Isn't this young man the scholar who saved him and his brothers in the liquor store that day?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and a smile appeared on Xuanwu's face.
"Lord Xuanwu."
Su Yunxuan returned the gift.
As for Zhuque and the other embroidered guards, he didn't even look at them.
As a scholar, he naturally dislikes embroidered clothes and guards.
If it weren't for Xuanwu's outstanding achievements in life and death in the north, I'm afraid he wouldn't have received a courtesy from him.
Luo Heng also bowed his hands towards Xuanwu but said nothing.
"Mr. Su, please let me look for you. I'm encountering another problem this time, so I have no choice but to shamelessly ask Mr. Su for help."
Xuanwu looked ashamed, but looked at Su Yunxuan with full expectation.
When he was in the northern border, the extremely famous Mr. Su helped him several times and left a deep impression on him.
Li Qianjue ran away yesterday, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
But this was ultimately related to Suzaku's mission. As a last resort, he had no choice but to shamelessly come to Su Yunxuan for help.
