Shengjing Noble

Chapter 188: Righting the Fa on the Spot

"Mother, it's such a good idea. My second brother and I won't refuse. I have something important to do before I leave. Mother, please enjoy your meal. I'll take my leave now."

"Eh……"

Lu Wanjun wanted to give a few more instructions, but seeing that Su Lanyin had run away, she could only sigh helplessly.

"This girl is really resourceful." After she finished talking to herself, she immediately ordered, "Madame Li, I'll leave the matter of finding guards to you. Go and arrange it."

"Yes!"

……

An ordinary carriage drove out of the Shengjing city gate. After about three or four hours, they finally saw a group of soldiers on the path ahead, blocking a group of refugees who wanted to enter Shengjing City.

"Girl, we're here." said A'mo.

Su Lanyin disguised herself into another face. Although her facial features were not as delicate and beautiful as her original ones, she was still pretty and charming.

She opened the curtain and looked forward, saying in a deep voice: "As I expected, these refugees are probably all fleeing from the northwest."

"How does the girl know?"

Of course Su Lanyin would not tell him that she knew this because she had experienced it in her previous life, so she found an excuse to explain.

"Qiu County has suffered from a severe drought for three years. How could the surrounding areas have good weather? Plus, the accents of these refugees sound like they're from the northwest, so I made this conclusion."

"The young lady is thoughtful and considerate. I admire her."

"Okay, take a detour back to Shengjing City. Remember not to let anyone follow you. If you find someone following you, get away in time."

"Yes!"

Su Lanyin jumped out of the car, and then A'mo drove the carriage away quickly.

The refugees in the distance were still clamoring loudly, questioning why they were not allowed to enter the city.

The leading officer impatiently drew his knife and shouted fiercely, "Shut up! Anyone who dares to do this will be executed immediately!"

This shocked everyone. They all stared at the knife in his hand in horror and moved back in fear.

Su Lanyin tugged at her coarse cloth clothes, pretending to be an orphan fleeing from the disaster and took the opportunity to join the refugee group.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the officer continued, "It's not that we don't allow you to enter the city, but there is an order from above that refugees are not allowed to enter Shengjing. If you know what's good for you, go back to where you came from, otherwise don't blame me for being rude with my knife!"

As he spoke, he waved the knife in his hand again.

One of the refugees suppressed his fear and mustered up the courage to say, "Sir, we really have nowhere else to go, so we want to go to Shengjing. Please give us a way out?"

The officer sneered and looked at him as if he were looking at an ant.

"If I let you go, who will let me go? I can't enforce the above rules, but I will lose my head! So, if you insist on entering the city, you want me to die. In this case, don't blame me for being rude!"

Seeing that she was so unreasonable, the people knelt on the ground and begged.

"Sir, our hometown has suffered from severe drought for many years. The crops have failed and many people have starved to death. If you ask us to go back, aren't you forcing us to die?"

"My mother and daughter both starved to death, and I am the only one left to depend on. If there is no more food, I am afraid that my father and I will die soon."

"Why don't you let us enter Shengjing? We just want the emperor to see us so that he can save our relatives and our hometown..."

……

Cries mixed with despair rose one after another, and tears of pain were on everyone's face.

Su Lanyin saw this and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

In my previous life, there was a severe drought in the northwest for three years, and many places suffered, especially Qiu County, which was the worst hit.

It was her mother Lu Wanjun who spent all the wealth she had accumulated over the years to rescue the people in the three nearby counties and saved the lives of millions of people.

However, this credit was finally attributed to Su Yongcheng and became the capital for his promotion and rapid rise to prominence.

However, many places were still suffering from famine, and the number of refugees dying increased. Finally, a plague broke out, and the officials could no longer stop it.

A large number of victims carrying the plague poured into Shengjing. For a time, the plague was rampant and tens of thousands of people died every day.

The emperor was at a loss and instantly aged by ten years. He also killed many officials involved in the case.

But even so, it doesn't help.

At the last critical moment, Su Lanxin stole the antidote to the epidemic developed by Doctor Xue and gave it to the emperor, and received a reward.

However, the antidote contains a very precious medicinal ingredient, and the national treasury is empty. If one wants to satisfy all the sick people, it is likely that the amount will be far from enough.

Now Su Lanxin set her sights on Lu Wanjun again, and advised her to sell the remaining land and shops and donate them.

However, half of them were taken by Su Lanxin. In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, a large number of victims who could have been saved were killed, and only a small number were saved.

However, the emperor knew nothing about it and made her a county princess and gave Liu Ruyan an imperial decree.

In this life, Su Lanyin didn't want to see the people displaced again, and she would never let Su Lanxin climb up by stepping on countless bones.

……

The refugees were still crying. One of the men seemed to have been suppressing his emotions for a long time. He suddenly stood up and shouted hysterically, "My whole family is dead, and you want to kill me too? Let me through! I want to go to the emperor and file a complaint! I want to show him that the common people can no longer survive..."

He shouted as he tried to force his way through the checkpoint.

In full view of the crowd, the officer raised his knife and chopped the man directly in the chest.

Blood splattered, countless people screamed in fear, and some adults quickly covered their children's eyes.

Everything happened so fast that Su Lanyin didn't have time to react.

When he saw the man falling to the ground in pain, holding his chest, he immediately rushed over.

The officer saw that the man was still breathing, and as if he was not satisfied, he raised his knife and was about to chop him down again.

In a flash, a stone flew out from Su Lanyin's fingertips and hit the official's temple directly.

"Uh……"

With a muffled groan, the officer rolled his eyes and fell to the ground unconscious. Seeing this, the other officers immediately rushed over to check the situation.

"What happened? Who of you did this?!"

The people were all at a loss, until Su Lanyin hid in the crowd and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Run!"

Everyone seemed to suddenly react, screaming and running around, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Lanyin grabbed the man's arm and dragged him into the woods nearby.

"Don't run! Damn it, who did this? Hurry up and carry the person in. No, arrest him first..."

The officers also seemed a little flustered, and for a moment they didn't know whether to chase the refugees or save their own people first.

Su Lanyin found a secluded place, hid the man in the weeds, and quickly took out the golden medicine from her arms and applied it on the man's chest.
