Chapter 115: Giving Porridge
Xu Cong had just finished saying that he had a lot of food and gold at home.
Jin Yuyao asked, "Do you know where it is?"
Before Xu Cong could answer, she heard the voice of a maid calling her from a distance, "Where are you, young master?"
Xu Cong stood up, trotted a few steps, turned back to look at Jin Yuyao and said, "Don't tell anyone that you saw me here."
Jin Yuyao nodded.
Xu Cong turned around and ran towards his own yard.
Jin Yuyao watched the people walk away, and sat in the pavilion with Xu Cong's words echoing in her mind.
The child said that it seemed to be the place where Xu Huaishui kept food, gold, silver and jewelry. This Xu Huaishui was hiding very deeply.
The more Jin Yuyao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She had to go back and tell Prince An and the others as soon as possible.
As soon as Jin Yuyao arrived at the gate of the yard, she saw Wang Jingshan coming back in a hurry from outside.
She asked, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Wang Jingshan said: "Li Huaishui brought some food, although it's not much, but if we cook it into porridge, it can save some people. Since we are short of manpower, we came back to ask you for help."
"Where is Prince An? I have something important to discuss with him?"
Wang Jingshan said: "He should be in the county government office, why don't you go find him first and then give out porridge."
Jin Yuyao nodded.
The two of them went to the county government office together, and the people there said that Prince An would never go out again.
"You should go to the porridge distribution first. He should be there soon."
After Jin Yuyao finished speaking, she and Wang Jingshan went towards the porridge distribution area.
Along the way, Wang Jingshan asked, "How is your research going?"
“No progress yet.”
The city gates of Jin Yuyao have been opened in the past two days, and the surrounding villagers have gradually arrived in Zhongshan County.
Wang Jingshan looked at the crowd and said, "This rice isn't much, it's only enough for three days. I don't know when Li Feng will come back."
Jin Yuyao consoled him, "I've already sent a message to Li Feng, he should be arriving soon."
The two of them came to the porridge shed, and Jin Yuyao started to get busy.
Wang Jingshan was maintaining order around there.
Not far away, Xu Huaishui looked coldly at Jin Yuyao and Wang Jingshan distributing porridge. His heart bled as he saw the porridge being eaten by those untouchables.
All the grain was taken out from his own warehouse, and some of it was donated by the wealthy people in Zhongshan County. It makes me sad just thinking about it.
With so much food, King An is really despicable.
He actually made himself bleed so much. Wang Jingshan and Jin Yuyao are both distributing porridge here, so Prince An should be alone now.
Xu Huaishui whispered a few words to Master Wang next to him.
Master Wang nodded and turned away.
Prince An was looking at the map of Zhongshan County in the county government office, wondering what to do. Xu Huaishui had also posted notices in the past few days.
I really don’t know what the specific effect will be, and there is no news from Li Feng.
Prince An got up and left the county office out of worry, because it was a time of need and there were not many people in the county office.
It was only after he left that Jin Yuyao and Wang Jingshan arrived, a perfect missed opportunity.
Walking on the street, I saw people walking in one direction, which should be the place where porridge was distributed.
Prince An followed the crowd in that direction.
There were too many people on the main road, so Prince An walked into an alley.
As Prince An was walking forward in the alley, he heard a girl shouting for help and a man cursing, "You stinky bitch, if you shout again I'll beat you to death."
Prince An took two steps and saw the woman being pinned down by a man, shouting, "Save my young master!"
He wanted to leave, but the woman's shrill voice kept echoing in his ears.
Prince An got angry and kicked the man, who fell out.
"have a finger in the pie"
After saying that, he picked up the wooden stick next to him and hit King An with it. King An caught it directly and kicked the man in the chest.
The man lay on the ground for a long time before recovering. He stood up and walked away with his back hunched. He turned around and said something harsh: "Just wait for me."
Prince An looked at the woman's torn clothes, revealing her snow-white chest, and turned away.
The woman looked like a decent girl from the neighborhood.
The woman said, "Thank you for saving me, sir. I really can't get up now. I wonder if you can help me up."
Prince An said, "Men and women should not touch each other. It would be better for you to get up by yourself, young lady."
The woman tried to get up for a long time but still couldn't get up. She continued to ask King An for help: "My lord, please, I have to go home quickly, otherwise my family will worry."
Prince An grew up in the deep palace. His own mother died in a palace fight. He was accustomed to intrigues and deceptions since he was a child, and thus developed this cold character.
You can be kind but don't put yourself in danger.
Prince An said, "Wait a moment, young lady. I will find someone to help you. Please wait a moment."
Prince An turned around and saw a house next door and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door opened and a woman came out.
The woman looked at Prince An and said, "What's the matter?"
Prince An explained, "My sister-in-law, that girl was just bullied. As a man, it's really inconvenient for me to help her up. Could you please help her up?"
The woman looked at the woman in the distance and said, "A grown man should really avoid suspicion. Let me go and take a look."
Prince An said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
The woman walked over to the girl and helped her up from the ground.
Although the woman was a little reluctant, she had to stand up after seeing Prince An's expression.
Prince An watched the woman limp out of the alley.
He continued walking into the alley.
Just as he was about to get out of the alley, he heard a strange sound in the wind and became alert.
At this time, a masked man appeared in front of him, pointing a sword at King An.
The man stabbed King An without saying a word.
Prince An dodged sideways.
Prince An and the man in black fought together.
Prince An was defeated, and the sword flew straight towards his face.
A man suddenly appeared in front of King An and blocked the man in black.
When King An saw Zhan Feng coming, he finally felt relieved.
Zhan Feng and the man in black fought together.
The man in black was obviously no match for Zhan Feng.
Soon he lay on the ground, and Zhan Feng stepped on him. Prince An said anxiously, "Leave him alive."
Who knew that the man in black lying on the ground started bleeding from the corner of his mouth as soon as he finished speaking.
Zhan Feng squatted down to check, then looked up at Prince An and said, "He's dead."
Prince An said, "Deal with it."
Zhan Feng quickly finished the matter and followed Prince An out of the alley.
Prince An walked to the place where porridge was being distributed and looked at the endless queue of people waiting to get porridge.
Jin Yuyao was serving porridge to people, and Wang Jingshan was maintaining order.
Wang Jingshan looked up and saw Prince An coming.
He walked over and asked, "Sir, why are you here?"
Prince An took Wang Jingshan to a remote place.
Wang Jingshan saw that Prince An's hair was a little messy and asked, "What happened?"
Prince An said, "I just met an assassin on the road."
Wang Jingshan asked nervously, "Are you injured? Where's the man in black?"
Prince An said: "I'm fine, luckily I have Zhan Feng, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you today."
Wang Jingshan said in shock, "I'll stay by your side from now on. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous in broad daylight."
King An said, "Who do you think wants us dead the most?"
Wang Jingshan understood immediately and said, "So are we going to move out now?"
