”Since it's like this, I won't say much. However, I don't want to stay in this small broken house of yours.” So please take a seat in the winter house. ” There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with determination.

”Alright.” Qi Wan County softly replied. Ruan Qing Yan glanced at Qi Shu County and remained silent.

The shadow of the official's office retracted its gaze and a bright smile appeared on its face. Looks like this Qi Hui county is also quite smart and bold.

”Then two ladies, please!”

The shadow of the official's house was half lying on the chair, his eyes shining brightly.

”I heard that this is only a minor outbreak in the imperial government. Looking at it today, it looks completely different. It's time for the imperial government to clean up.”

”The prelude is enough.” Qi Wan County was a bit impatient.

”Alright, I'd like to ask you two to describe the situation of the disaster zone. I'd like to request that the both of you play His Majesty.”

”Oh ~” Qi Wan County thought for a bit, just relying on their voluntary contributions didn't help this disaster area much, she still had to rely on the government to help. Although she hated some people from the imperial family to the bone, she didn't want to kill them all. Moreover, this commoner's life was more important than her family's revenge. There was no need to delay the commoners for her sake.

”When we first arrived, the outbreak was very serious. The magistrate also said that it had already been reported to the imperial government, allowing the citizens to wait quietly. The commoners came to the county magistrate, and every time, the magistrate would have all sorts of excuses to send them off. In the end, the epidemic became even worse, and Qing Yan and I were on our own. All the rich who could run here had run away, while the county magistrate had simply closed the door. He had really done it to not hear a word of what was going on outside, and had wholeheartedly lived his days of comfort … ” As he spoke up to here, Qi Wan couldn't help but tighten the cup in her hand, drink a mouthful of tea, and no longer speak.

”The materials we brought have been used up very quickly, that's why we came up with such a plan. I hope you don't mind.” ”Yes.” Ruan Qingyan answered coldly. However, since young master is rich and imposing, I presume that you don't care too much about it! ” Ruan Qingyan's words changed the subject as a sense of foreboding inexplicably rose in Shangguan Siying's heart.

”The Shangguan family is an imperial merchant, they are wealthy in the world. It is said that the property of the family is no less than that of the treasury. Saving a life is just a small matter.” Qi Wan County said leisurely.

The official also immediately understood the other party's intentions.

”Naturally, before the policy of the imperial court comes to an end, I will contribute money to the rescue of the people.”

”Is it just for this period of time?” Ruan Qingyan's voice was ice-cold.

”Of course, the matter of the people is the matter of the Son of Heaven, so we can't interfere too much in it.”

Ruan Qingyan's eyes instantly darkened. Qi Dian lightly coughed, and she finally reacted. Even though the emperor's merchant house was as wealthy as a kingdom, if they interfered too much in this matter, it would be filled with people trying to curry favor with the people. No matter what, the emperor's merchant house was just a rich people, there were many people who were jealous of the emperor's family. It was already good that the merchants were willing to support them during this period of time.

”Thank you very much.” Qi Wan County got up and paid his respects to the magistrate.

”Please take care, both of you.” The shadow of the official turned back into a frivolous face, completely devoid of the solemnity with which he had begun the conversation.

Seeing the two figures disappear at the door, the expression in the official's eyes deepened.

”Prepare some ink and pens for me.” The official's voice was low.

”Recently, the grass citizens' goods have been robbed. Later on, we found out that there was someone doing it for disaster relief …” The official wrote down the details with great seriousness. He had actually perfectly revealed the details of the disaster area. He had also done his best to show his sincerity towards the emperor. No matter how much he loved his people, the emperor couldn't help but be suspicious.

”I hope His Majesty can send people to rescue the disaster as soon as possible.” Putting down the brush, the servant hurriedly put away the letter and sent someone to deliver it to the capital.

The shadow of the government office stood by the window. A cool breeze blew past, bringing with it a faint smell of decay. He closed the window, turned around, and in the blink of an eye, was on the bed.

Even the sun had dimmed in the early morning of the disaster area.

As the official walked through the empty streets, the wailing patients were placed in their own rooms. However, the faint sounds of pain that came from within were equally heart-wrenching. He frowned and walked forward quickly.

The shadow of the government official was leaning on the door as he watched the two of them bustling about in Qi Wan County. He had a relaxed and carefree expression on his face, and didn't have the slightest intention of helping them.

”There are good houses here too, why do you have to stay in them …” The official was a bit depressed. This shabby house was too lacking in quality.

”Those big houses are all for the patients, so we can only stay here. Moreover, this place is located at the center of the ward, so it's more convenient to take care of the patients.”
