After arriving at the inn, Xiaoqing instructed the innkeeper to prepare some food. After receiving the orders, the waiter turned around and left. However, after a long time, he came back with some food. Everyone had been working here and there for a long time. They were tired and hungry, so after waiting for a long time, they still had not found any food to serve. They could not help but feel dissatisfied. However, to everyone's surprise, the shop owner brought out a few vegetables, and there wasn't much rice.

"Waiter, is this a black shop?" When Zhang Long saw that he had ordered the best dishes, but the other side had only brought the few dishes, he was so infuriated that he immediately lit them on fire.

The waiter should have expected this outcome, so he replied Zhang Long with a coy smile.

"Dear guests, this is indeed the best meal in the restaurant. I'll tell you the truth, our storekeeper has also been drinking porridge for over a month. " As the waiter spoke, he glanced at the food and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Isn't this the best inn in the county? Why are you still so shabby? " Xiaoqing slammed her hand on the table and shouted at the waiter. She thought to herself, "This inn is so deceiving, spending so much money to cook so little food, it seems this inn is truly deceiving!"

The waiter didn't know whether to laugh or cry and explained, "Dear guests, this is the first time you've been to Fengyang County. You may not know this, but a few of the nearby counties have sent a large amount of water, and even Fengyang has been affected. In less than two months, all the surrounding victims of the disaster had fled to Fengyang City. When these victims arrived, the local grain merchants saw that there were more people and that there was less food, so they started to raise the price. As the price of the grains rose, the prices of the other vegetables and fruits also began to rise. In a short month, they had become what they were now. In this city, a catty of food can only be bought with a single catty of money, let alone meat. "

When Luo Lingwei heard this, she was curious, so she asked, "Then does the imperial government not care about you?"

Upon hearing Luo Lingwei's words, the waiter bitterly smiled and said, "It's not like the imperial government doesn't care about us. He had only heard that Shang Yue was sending offerings to our county's old master, so he turned a blind eye to it. "

Zhang Long shook his head and said, "That's not right. Logically speaking, with such a big matter, the imperial government should have sent food and money to relieve the disaster. Furthermore, this Feng Yang is the port where the stalls are placed, and in addition to the county magistrate, we should also be responsible for handling the operation of the goods and food. Why would the people be like this?"

Unexpectedly, when the waiter heard this, he fiercely spat and said, "Guests, you do not know that the head of these grain merchants is the brother-in-law of the Cangyun Envoy." If he had not proposed to increase the price of food, he would not have faced such a predicament today. "As for the court's disaster relief mentioned by this lord, honestly speaking, I have lived for over thirty years and grew up in Fengyang County. I have seen this kind of disaster five or six times and have never seen a court disaster relief."

Just as the waiter finished speaking, Luo Lingwei received a system notification.

"Discovered a new mission to help the victims of the disaster to overcome their difficulties. The reward will be given out according to the degree of completion."

Luo Lingwei sighed and dismissed the waiter. The few of them were eating in the room. After the meal, Luo Lingwei asked the waiter for a pen, ink, and paper. She wrote a secret letter and had Zhang Long find a local informant to deliver the letter to the manor.

Afterwards, Luo Lingwei disguised herself and went with them, disguised as a few merchants who had come from outside the city. Although Fengyang County was a county town, it had the support of the Xuanshui River and was well-developed. Thus, there were many merchants who came here to do business. However, because there had been many victims in the past few days, many merchants had left the area when they saw this scene.

At this moment, the streets were filled with victims. Many people were lying on the ground, unable to breathe and could only exhale. However, even though the people had become like this, there was no lack of rich young masters and young ladies driving their cars out.

"The Zhu Men's wine and meat stink, and they can freeze to death on the road."

Luo Lingwei unconsciously thought back to Du Fu's words and felt extremely sad in her heart. Just as she was sighing with emotion, she heard someone call out from the side of the street, "Wu Jieyuan's family has cooked porridge!"

At this moment, the victims who were originally lying on the ground weakly struggled to their feet and ran towards the source of the voice.

"Come, let's go take a look." Luo Lingwei said to the people beside her and followed the flow of the crowd.

Not long after, the group arrived at the porridge house. At this time, the victims had already surrounded the porridge house in all three layers. Luo Lingwei and the others were completely unable to see the scene inside.

Just as Luo Lingwei and the rest were about to leave, they heard someone shout from behind them, "Fellow brothers, please wait."

Luo Lingwei turned around and saw a sickly scholar standing behind them.

Seeing the situation, Luo Lingwei bowed and said: "Brother, what is the matter?"

Seeing how refined Luo Lingwei and the others were, the scholar bowed to Luo Lingwei and said, "My surname is Wu and I am the benefactor of this porridge stall. May I ask if you are grain merchants?"

Luo Lingwei smiled and said, "No, I'm just doing some silk business. Food business, I can't do it either."

After listening to the scholar's introduction, he realized that he was the "Wu Top Scorer" that had just been shouted out by others.

Upon hearing Luo Lingwei's words, Wu Daiyuan felt slightly more at ease, and hurriedly apologized for his abrupt action just now. Luo Lingwei saw that this person was gentle and gentle, with a gentle personality. Thus, she did not bother to argue with him. The two of them chatted for a long time. Luo Lingwei had heard that he had been making porridge for a long time, and she felt admiration in her heart.

"Brother Lian, if that's the case, then please come to my place tonight." Seeing that Luo Lingwei had finished applying the porridge, Wu Daiyuan bowed to her and turned to leave.

This time, in order to deceive others, Luo Lingwei had lied and claimed that she was called Lian He. She had only gone to Ye Lianhe and used his name. When Little Qing and the others heard this, they couldn't help but find it funny, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

After returning to the inn, Luo Lingwei had been pondering over the words of this Top Scorer Wu. This was not only a place where the Xuanshui River flowed. The Xuanshui River was rife with floods and floods all year round, but the Imperial Court rarely ruled this place. Other affluent places were fine, but the locals had spontaneously organized workers to build dams and open canals. However, the wealthy people of Fengyang County were all envoys and county officials who relied on this "flood" for food. If the flood was managed, there would be almost no chance for them to take care of the families and embezzle the relief money.

Thinking of this, Luo Lingwei also had a plan. If he could not get rid of these tumors, he would not be able to complete this mission successfully.

After a few more moments of rest, Luo Lingwei and the others left the inn and went back to the Wu Residence.

After making some small talk, they arrived at the front of the Wu Residence. After a short notification, the butler brought them in.

After arriving at the inn, Xiaoqing instructed the innkeeper to prepare some food. After receiving the orders, the waiter turned around and left. However, after a long time, he came back with some food. Everyone had been working here and there for a long time.
