"Hehe, Lin Fan is indeed too young. Among the victims I went to this time, there were not only the victims, but also the people from the Poison Sect. They would not kill Lin Fan, but would quietly mingle into the city and poison the people in a big way."

Zhang Zhongwei said with a sneer.

Siping County Government Office.

"Sir, for some reason, all the victims of the surrounding counties and towns have come to our Siping County."

Shi Li came back to report.

Because the prefect of Liuzhou City did not inform Lin Fan in advance, Siping County can be said to be the worst-hit county. If Lin Fan had not had the locusts that had risen, there would probably be no food to provide disaster relief.

Therefore, other county towns should be much better than Siping County. Why do all the poor people in other county towns come to Siping County?

"I already know this. Where are the victims now?"

Lin Fan asked.

"Sir, some of the victims have entered the city, and the rest have been blocked by us, and the people entering the city are also controlled by us."

Shili replied.

Now that Lin Fan recruited 100 more yamen runners, it was the wisest decision, otherwise these victims would have caused trouble, and they had no choice.

"Yeah, take me to see."

Lin Fan said.

When he arrived at the city gate, Lin Fan saw that there were at least a thousand people waiting outside the city gate, and inside the city gate, there were also hundreds of people squatting on the ground and being watched by the yamen runners.

"Where are you guys?"

Lin Fan saw an old man squatting on the ground and walked over and asked.

"You are Lord Lin, Caomin is from Ji'an County. Due to the influence of locust plague, the grain particles were not harvested this season. The gentry was very old and could not grow crops, so they took back the old fields. Caomin had no choice but to come to Siping County and ask the adults to take them in and give Caomin a way out."

The old man said.

"Sir! We are all people in Ji'an County. This locust plague almost ate all the food we planted. The gentry was inhumane and did not leave us at all, and drove us away!"

Someone said again.

"Yes! Lord Lin, please take us in."

A group of people were asking Lin Fan to take in.

Lin Fan frowned. Strictly speaking, these were the victims who were the most severely affected by the locust plague. In another half a month, those people who had their own fields would become victims after eating their food.

If they took these people in, the remaining people would come to Siping County when they were desperate. At that time, it would be difficult to support them even if it was a thousand taels of silver.

"Sir, the number of these victims is still increasing..."

Shi Li reminded.

"Well, I understand. Let me inform you that these victims are not allowed to enter the city. However, I allow them to stay outside the city and ask the yamen runners to come and distribute porridge to them every day."

Lin Fan said.

ah!

"Sir, if we take these victims in, I'm afraid that victims from other places will come here too."

Shi Li said.

"It's okay, the money in our county can still last for a while. I will find a way to deal with the money."

Lin Fan said.

"Thank you, Lord Lin! Master Qingtian!"

A group of people knelt on the ground and shouted that Lin Fan was the Great Master Qingtian.

Lin Fan casually glanced at the people outside the city, and a cold light flashed across the corner of his eyes, and he returned to the county government with stone power.

People from the Poison Sect lurk among the victims.

It seems they are coming to take revenge.

"Shi Li, please pay attention when you let the yamen run the porridge every day, just to ensure that they are not dead, and everyone must drink it."

Lin Fan said.

"Well? Sir, this method is feasible. Some of these victims have not eaten for two or three days. Let's give them porridge so that they can live, so they won't make trouble."

Shi Li said.

If they are to eat full, the consumption is very large, but it is different if they just have food to live.

"Well, you can order people to do it now. In the past few days, no matter how many victims there are, you will accept them all. However, you will only distribute porridge once a day, and each person only has one bowl. If you send a yamen runner to watch, whoever dares to steal others will drive them away."

Lin Fan said.

Shi Li followed Lin Fan's instructions to do things, and Lin Fan found Liu Yuanqi and said, "Liu Yuanqi, the people from the Poison Sect have arrived. At this time, they are hiding among the victims."

"Ah! Sir, since the people from the Poison Sect have arrived, we should pull them out and eradicate them directly."

Liu Yuanqi said.

"They have not arrived yet, they have just arrived. What I have to do is to eliminate all the people from the Poison Sect."

Lin Fan said.

"Sir, what do we do?"

Liu Yuanqi asked.

"You are now going to the village outside the city and finding a few thorns to get into the victims. When you are distributing porridge every day, you can snatch other people's porridge, causing chaos."

Lin Fan said.

"Yeah? Sir, are you?"

Liu Yuanqi was confused.

"Only by making the disaster victims messy, the people of the Poison Sect feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it and will all come out. At that time, we can eliminate the Poison Sect completely."

Lin Fan said.

"So that's the case, my master's plan."

Liu Yuanqi said in surprise, and hurriedly turned around and went out, and did as Lin Fan told him.

Two days later, the Imperial Guard arrived and brought Li Hao's imperial edict. At the same time, he gave Lin Fan the waist card of Prince Shaoqing, the Prince of the Yan Mansion.

This time the sealing ceremony seemed very hasty and had no sense of ritual at all.

Moreover, Lin Fan was very confused. Why was Prince Shaoqing, the Prince of the Yan Palace, granted him the title of him, not the Yan Palace?

"Mr. Lin, I have brought your Majesty's will. There is no prince at this time, so you don't need to report to the Prince of Yan for the time being. Just do your best to do your business."

The Royal Guard soldier said.

"So, thank you for bringing me an imperial edict. Why not come in and sit down. I'm now ordering someone to prepare meals for you."

Lin Fan smiled.

"Mr. Lin, the matter is urgent, I will return now."

The Imperial Army soldiers did not stop and left after giving the imperial edict to Lin Fan.

After the Imperial Army soldiers left, Lin Fan looked at the waist-baring card of the Yan Palace in his hand and fell into deep thought. This prince Shaoqing was considered an eighth-rank official position, but it was very special.

Because he was in the court system and was backed by the royal palace, ordinary officials of the seventh and sixth ranks must be polite to him.

"It would be better to give me a position as Prince Shaoqing."

Lin Fan said to himself.

He put away his waist card and calculated the time. He was about to arrive at the people from the Poison Sect.

At this moment, Shi Li ran in panic: "Sir! It's not good! The victims outside the city started to make trouble and said that we gave too little food and they couldn't eat enough!"

"Yeah! That's great! Finally, the trouble started. Now you ask the yamen runners to follow me to the city gate with crossbow arrows. In a while, I will let you shoot whoever you want!"

Lin Fan said.
Chapter completed!
