k the edge off Lady Wen's anger, and she swapped out the damp handkerchief in her hand, secretly looking towards her eldest daughter-in-law.Lady Wen cursed her mother-in-law secretly for being useless...She raised her hand and slapped her son hard, desperately pushing them forward, screaming frantically, "Listen to me when I tell you to! You have to survive, understand You can live here! If you stay with me, you'll starve to death!"

The two boys cried even louder, making a terrible racket on the bridge for a while.

The village head and others frowned deeply, their hearts heavy with a sense of knowing. After all, they had experienced the same pain before, and each understood just how agonizing it was.

But they couldn't take them in just because they were pitiful.

Firstly, Suijin Tan is now also in turmoil and it's uncertain what the future holds.

Perhaps it must be destroyed at any time, otherwise we could not send all the children away.

Secondly, these people are refugees who fled from the south. There must be many more behind them. If word gets out that Suijin Beach is sheltering refugees, they will probably all come here.

It's easy to raise a dozen or so people on Suijin Beach, but raising thousands or even tens of thousands That's a joke!

Old Zhao pulled the village head aside, and the few of them stepped back to discuss.

"Brother, this matter is serious. We can't make the decision ourselves. We should go ask the owner."

"I agree. The refugees will be arriving in Xindu soon, and we need to prepare our homes. After all, we're too obvious here, too exposed. I fear that anyone with ill intentions might come swarming."

The village head thought along the same lines and said, “Get two cars. I’ll take people into town to let them fend for themselves. We absolutely cannot shelter them. Then, mobilize everyone to patrol more strictly and protect the Broken Gold Beach well.”

"I'll go to the Earl's Mansion right away. I definitely won't see the master today, but I will tomorrow night. I'll send a letter back with my son in the morning."

Everyone nodded and quickly got to work.

Two carriages were soon ready.

This family of refugees, hearing that Suijin Beach wouldn't take them in, cried bitterly. Even when they begged again, the village head spoke up.

"My fellow countrymen, it's not that we are heartless. It's just that this place belongs to a nobleman, and since he is away, we are but slaves and dare not take the liberty of sheltering you."

"I will take you all to Xindu right now. All the people living in Xindu are nobles. If you want to survive, it's not difficult. If any noble family happens to be short of servants, then you'll have a place to stay."

Having said that, he beckoned Xiao Cui and the others forward.

Xiao Cui and the other women had already gathered some old clothes, and they also packed some leftover cakes and steamed buns from home, filling a basket.

This family was just trying to survive. Seeing this, they no longer insisted.

Wherever you survive, it's a survival!

And the new residents aren't just nobles, but also the Emperor!

They are Tianwu's subjects, if they can't live, it's right to go to the Emperor!

Two carriages then set off one after the other along the path, heading for the new capital.

The carriage of the Suijin Tan family was not much different from other carriages, but a wooden signboard hung at its front. One side read "Suijin Tan" and the other "Li," enough to distinguish it from all others.

The soldiers guarding the city gate might not be skilled in battle, but their eyesight was top-notch.

At the sight of Li's carriage, he didn't even bother to inspect it and immediately gave way.

Even some joking soldiers greeted the village head, saying, "Uncle, are these mountain fruits ripe Are they being sent to the palace as tribute again"

The village head waved his hand, also grinning, "No, no. There's just a little something at home, so I took a stroll when I had nothing to do. The fruits won't be ripe for another month! When they are, I'll bring you a basket and we can all enjoy some fresh ones together."

The soldier naturally grinned and agreed, and at the end he even told the village head which roads in the city were under curfew.

When the carriage entered the city, it wound its way through the streets until it found a quiet alleyway to unload the family of refugees.

"Brothers, this is the south part of the city, where the most wealthy families live. You can make a living here."

The village chief waved goodbye to the family and drove away in his carriage.

A refugee family wouldn't even have the mind to reciprocate a gift, let alone chase after a carriage.

Because of the opulence before them, they were like mice who had fallen into a rice vat, overwhelmed with joy and confusion.

The bluestone pavement leads to a narrow alley. On both sides are small courtyards with blue brick and gray tile houses, neat and tidy.

Even by the wall of the courtyard, there were lush willow trees. Underneath them, a few mischievous boys in short jackets held snacks in their hands, curiously eyeing them...

Don't say that such a disaster-ridden year is a good one, even the county town where this family lives doesn't have such peace and prosperity.

I've really hit the jackpot, leaving everything behind to escape. It turns out I made the right choice.

Here, they will definitely survive!

Without mentioning how these refugees go door to door begging for food, trying to find a place to stay.

When the village head arrived at the Earl's mansion, as expected, no one was home.

The old lady, the county princess, Master [Brother], Mr. Wen, and Jia'an were all in the palace mourning.

Fortunately, the old master was afraid something might happen in the manor, so no one sent a message to keep Zheng He.

Zheng He, upon receiving the village head's call, immediately guessed that something was amiss. He hastily pressed, "Village Head Grandfather, is there something wrong Do you need me to report to my master"

The village head waved his hand, recounting the events that had just transpired. "Little He," he added, "I don't know how your master is doing in the palace. This matter isn't urgent by reason, but we can't delay it too long either."

Zheng He often stayed by the old master's side, being more perceptive about current affairs than even the village head.

He hurriedly said, "No, village headmaster. This matter should be reported to the elder as soon as possible. There must be arrangements at home. The situation recently is particularly bad, and something small could upset the world order."

Having said that, he got up. "I'll go and figure out a way to send a message to the master right away. You old man, you rest. You can't leave tonight. Just in case the master asks, I'll have to say a few words."

"Alright, alright, go busy yourself. I'll wait here at home." The village head quickly waved his hand and saw Zheng He leave in a hurry.

Li Laosi only received the news from home when he was having lunch.

The little eunuch who delivered the message was following Eunuch Feng, he was one of Eunuch Feng's adopted sons.

At first, Zhi Lan Palace was sealed, and he was inside it.

During that time, Jia Yin pondered many delicious dishes. Feng Gonggong and the little eunuchs all benefited from her culinary creations.

Moreover, the Third Princess had Jia Yin to accompany her, and she never got angry. She was not afraid of being scolded by anyone.

Occasionally, when the master is in a good mood, a large group of people will also play games.

It can be said that for a palace eunuch, those few days were the happiest and most blissful of his entire tenure in the palace.

So, even though Jiayin didn't expect anything in return for doing all this, the little eunuch was still very willing to help the Li family out.

He, following the prince's orders, escorted a bedridden old minister out of the palace. Upon encountering Zheng He, who was carrying a message into the palace, he readily offered to help him.

Refugees have entered the city!

Suddenly, seeing the note Zheng He sent, I saw these five words. For a moment, I was taken aback, but then I didn't find it surprising at all.

He had previously paid attention to the local customs of various places.

But recently, things have been happening in Xin'du too frequently, and I can't keep up with them all.

Unexpectedly, the refugees arrived in such a "killing" manner.

Logically, from spring to now, for several months there has been no rain, and in all regions, harvests would certainly be nonexistent, leading to widespread starvation and refugees. It's a result that even a fool could have predicted.

But the emperor was too busy "fighting for his life" and arranging for his after death, to pay any attention to these matters.

All the officials and nobles in court were fawning over the new crown prince, trying every means to get their daughters into the palace and secure power for their families.
