Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows and felt bright. This was the first time Yuan Qiu asked him for help seriously. What does this mean? Has she truly regarded him as her own
He took the medicine list from Yuan Qiu's hand and glanced at the names of the medicines that were not marked with a red tick. They were all rare medicinal materials, some of which he had heard of before, and some of which he had never even heard of: "Write down the names of the medicines you need. , I immediately asked Xing Yingfei Ge to pass the message out, and someone will soon deliver the medicine****."
Yuan Qiu showed his liking, so she knew he would find a way.
The white dove was about to fly out of the Xia Mansion and disappear among the blue sky and white clouds. A guard hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the mansion asking to see you!"
Zhu Yan snorted and asked, "Who wants to see you?"
The guard said respectfully: "It's a man in official uniform, who claims to be the magistrate of Pingtung County, and he said he has something important to report."
"Mr. Chen?" Yuan Qiu asked suspiciously.
The guard nodded: "He calls himself Chen Liwen."
Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Do you know him?"
Yuan Qiu nodded slightly, with a soft look in his brows: "I have a close relationship with their family. Let's not talk about it for now. He came here alone. He must have something important to do. Let's invite him in first!"
Zhu Yan nodded and waved to the guards, who were ordered to retreat.
After a while, the guards led Chen Liwen to the front hall.
When Xia Yuanqiu saw Chen Liwen hurriedly entering, he quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and said to Chen Liwen: "It's really Mr. Chen, you're fine!"
When Chen Dali saw Yuan Qiu, his eyes lit up, and his slightly nervous expression relaxed slightly, and he cupped his hands towards Xia Yuanqiu: "Doctor Xia, you are fine!"
Seeing the two of them greet each other familiarly, Zhu Yan said, "President Chen came here in a hurry, but do you have something to report?"
The county magistrate Chen hurriedly saluted Zhu Yan, and after calling him, he said: "When I heard that Your Highness has come here for a private visit, I should know that destiny will not end for me, the people of Pingtung, and I hope that Your Highness will save the people of Pingtung. I will thank you!" "
Zhu Yan saw that Magistrate Chen looked anxious and asked hurriedly: "What happened? Tell me in detail!"
Chen Zhixian took the teacup handed over by Yuan Qiu, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said in detail: "Your Highness does not know something. Two months ago, there were heavy rains in the Lidong area for more than ten days. The flood of water washed away the Lidong River dam, and the entire Lidong County was affected. No crops could be harvested, and most of the houses were washed away. The people had no stable homes and no rice to eat. Thousands of refugees fled to Pingtung. .”
Zhu Yan frowned and said in a deep voice: "I was still in the capital two months ago. How come I didn't hear about the disaster in Lidong?"
Chen Zhixian shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty doesn't know. The term of Lidong County Magistrate has expired and he will be promoted in two months. At this juncture, such a catastrophe happens. He is afraid that if this matter is reported to the court, , it will interfere with his upward journey, so—"
Yuan Qiu looked angry and shouted: "For his own selfish reasons, he watched tens of thousands of refugees homeless and without rice to eat?"
County Chief Chen Zhi sighed: "He didn't report this matter, and I only found out about it half a month ago. Even though I wrote an urgent document and handed it over, who knew that the document would leave Pingtung County and be delivered to Lord Hexi. Then he was burned in public, and the lower officials later found out that Lord Hexi was actually the cousin of the magistrate of Lidong County, and the two of them worked together in collusion and treated human lives as nothing, which is really hateful!"
Zhu Yan was furious and knocked down several tables beside him with one palm. Sawdust flew everywhere in the hall. His handsome eyebrows were stained with a fierce look. The majesty of the Tian family lingered around him, which was awe-inspiring. Chen Zhixian He quickly knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Zhu Yan: "I hope Your Highness will have mercy on the people of Hexi!"
