Chapter 345 The Disaster in Hexi

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows, his mood clear, this was the first time Yuan Qiu seriously asked him for help, what does this mean? Has she really regarded him as her own?

He took the medicine list in Yuan Qiu's hand, and glanced at the names of the medicines that were not marked with a small red tick. They were all rare medicinal materials, some of which he had heard of before, and some he had never heard of before: "Write down the names of the medicines you need. , I immediately asked Xing Yingfei to pass the letter out, and someone will deliver the medicine soon***."

Yuan Qiu showed liking, she knew he would have a solution.

The white pigeon was about to fly out of the Xia mansion, and was hidden in the blue sky and white clouds. A guard rushed to report: "My lord, there is someone outside the mansion asking to see you!"

Zhu Yan snorted and asked, "Who is asking to see you?"

The guard said respectfully: "It's a man in official uniform, who claims to be the magistrate of Pingtung County, and said he has something important to report."

"Chen magistrate?" Yuan Qiu asked suspiciously.

The guard nodded: "He calls himself Chen Liwen."

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Do you know him?"

Yuan Qiu nodded lightly, with a soft look between his eyebrows and eyes: "I have a close relationship with their family, let's not talk about this, he came here alone, he must have something important, let's invite him in first!"

Zhu Yan nodded and waved to the guard, who took the order to retreat.

After a while, the guards led Chen Liwen to the front hall.

Seeing Chen Liwen rushing in, Xia Yuanqiu hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, got up and said to Chen Liwen: "It really is Mr. Chen, don't come here!"

When Chen Dali saw Yuan Qiu, his eyes lit up, and his slightly nervous expression eased a little, he cupped his hands towards Xia Yuanqiu: "Doctor Xia, stay safe!"

Seeing that the two greeted each other acquaintedly, Zhu Yan said, "Chen Zhixian came here in a hurry, but do you have something to report?"

The county magistrate hurriedly bowed to Zhu Yan, and after calling out, he said: "Your Majesty heard that His Highness came here for a private visit, you should know that the fate of the people of Pingtung is endless, and I hope His Highness will save the people of Pingtung, thank you! "

Seeing that Chen Zhixian looked anxious, Zhu Yan hurriedly asked: "What happened, please tell me in detail!"

Chen Zhixian took the teacup handed over by Yuan Qiu, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said carefully: "Your Highness does not know something. The falling water broke down the Lidong River Dam, and the whole county of Lidong County was affected. The crops were not harvested, and the houses were destroyed by a large number of people. The people had no fixed homes and no rice to eat. .”

Zhu Yan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The king was still in the capital two months ago, why didn't he hear about the disaster in Lidong?"

Chen Zhixian shook his head and sighed: "My lord doesn't know that the term of Lidong county magistrate has expired, and he will be promoted to a higher position in two months. At this juncture, such a catastrophe will happen. He is afraid that if this matter is reported to the court , it will interfere with his career path, so—"

Yuan Qiu's face was full of anger, and he shouted: "For his own selfishness, he watched tens of thousands of refugees homeless and without rice to eat?"

The county magistrate Chen sighed: "He didn't report this matter, and I only found out about half a month ago. Even if I wrote an urgent document and handed it over, who would have thought that this document would be delivered to Master Hexi after it left Pingtung County. It was burnt in public, and it was only afterward that the officials found out that Master Hexi was actually the cousin of Li Dongzhi County, and the two of them worked hand in hand and treated human life like nothing, it is really hateful!"

Zhu Yan was furious, and he slapped the desks beside him with one palm. Sawdust flew across the hall, his handsome eyebrows were stained with fierceness, and the majesty of the Tian family lingered all over his body, which made people awe-inspiring. Hastily knelt down, and kowtowed heavily to Zhu Yan: "His Royal Highness has mercy on the people of Hexi!"
