Within two days, word came from the head of the village that the food of the two villages had been robbed by refugees at night. Not only them, but also several nearby houses were robbed. Fortunately, Lin Jinyan gave them orders, so they did not resist and no one was injured.
Lin Jinyan was not surprised at all after hearing this, and ordered Du Xing to send two carts of food to the village for emergency purposes, saying that the city gate would be opened in ten days at most, and then the remaining food would be delivered.
After the imperial court and the Qi family collected and distributed food to the estimated number of people, the refugees were properly resettled. They all returned to their hometowns together when they could go home, and all the soup kitchens were withdrawn.
There were only a small number of homeless people outside the city. Lin Jinyan walked to the refugee shed with two village leaders and guards, looked at the confused, panicked and helpless refugees and said softly:
"If you are homeless, I have two village houses outside the city, which can provide shelter for you for the time being. However, the village cannot accommodate so many people. I bought building materials and need help from someone who is strong enough to build the house. If you are willing and can trust me, just follow these two village heads like me and you will have enough to eat."
After saying that, the refugees all stood up and gathered around, looking at Lin Jinyan and asking questions.
"Miss, are you telling the truth? Are you willing to take us in?"
"I heard that you are the granddaughter of General Gu. I trust that you are willing to go with you."
"Miss, I can't build a house but I can cook. Can I go with you?"
"Miss, I know how to build a house, can I take my mother with me? Just give my food to my mother."
"Miss, can I go..."
"Miss……"
The guards watched the refugees gathering around and were afraid of danger. They surrounded Lin Jinyan, with the knife half drawn, and loudly shouted at the refugees to move back.
The refugees were so frightened that they stopped and looked eagerly at the small figure behind the guard.
Lin Jinyan led Hong Jiu out from behind the guard and persuaded the guard to put down the knife. Guarantee to refugees:
"As long as you are willing, you can come with me, and I will keep you until you have a place to stay."
After hearing this, the refugees burst into tears of gratitude and knelt down in rows, kowtow to Lin Jinyan and thanked her.
Lin Jinyan was moved when she saw this, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. She was not purely kind to them...
At the doctor's table at Jimin Hall a few days ago, Lin Jinyan called a few people from Mangao and two clerks from the grain store to record the refugees' information one by one.
Lin Jinyan asked those who were building houses to follow the village leader first, while the remaining people waited here for a few days, promising that the porridge-giving would not stop and they would not starve.
The refugees expressed their thanks again. Lin Yanqing and Lin Siyuan did not blame Lin Jinyan for taking the decision without authorization. They only told Lin Jinyan to take good care of the refugees and not make any mistakes. After returning home, they sent Lin Song to Zhuangzi to help. Bai Yiran also sent The soldiers helped keep an eye on it.
In the middle of the night, An Zhixian listened to the news reported by his subordinates, his brows not even raising.
"They pretended to be refugees and robbed Yuan Dao's disaster relief food, and also robbed Lin Jinyan Zhuangzi's food? Are they the same group of people?"
Ling Jiu, who was wearing ordinary coarse clothes, said respectfully: "We are investigating, but we are not sure yet that they are the same group of people. Can we go to Tianjimen to ask?"
An Zhixian: "Go to the old man and ask for everything. What do I want you to do?"
Ling Jiu: "My subordinates will find out as soon as possible. Also, Wanyuan Sect is giving porridge to disaster relief in Xiangzhou this time, and its reputation among the people is growing."
An Zhixian: "Those sanctimonious guys from Wanyuan Sect are used to doing this kind of things that sell well, so it's nothing unusual. What happened to the food we asked you to share?"
