"The good ones don't work, but the bad ones really work..."
Not long after the chaotic sounds came over, it was already confirmed that there was a problem in the direction of the east gate. People on the street looked in that direction. Some of the victims among them were panicking without knowing what was going on, and they all speculated about what happened there.
Things. Lu Agui looked around.
"Princess, young prince, you get in the car and prepare to go back. The city gate may be closed... I want to go over and have a look. Li Heng, the carriage will pass by the Su Mansion. You should go back to the manor together. If this happens
, there is always some panic happening.”
Ning Yi nodded, and Lu Agui rushed towards the city gate. He and Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu got into the carriage and drove all the way back. Ning Yi sat next to the coachman's seat, and Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu also opened the curtain to look at the situation outside.
.The situation in the city has been a bit tense in the past few days. At this time, the victims have become slightly confused. There are quarrels, curses, and children crying on the road. The officers, soldiers, and government officials maintain order. It seems chaotic, but for a while, it is chaotic.
No real big trouble has occurred yet.
So all the way home, the Su Mansion was already on alert. The door began to be closed tightly. Some people climbed on the walls with ladders to watch the excitement. In fact, everyone was a little confused. Juan'er was waiting near the main entrance at this time.
Looking at him, he later realized that Chan'er was waiting in the direction of the side door - Su Tan'er and the three maids had already returned home. When there was a commotion outside, they called them over to wait. If Ning Yi didn't come back after a while,
I guess I need to organize the servants to go out and look for it.
Then I heard voices starting to ring out on the street outside: "The city gate is closed -" the voices passed one after another, gradually converging into a somewhat panicked and confused sound, and the sunlight seemed to become a little pale in the sky...
At noon on July 13th, amid bouts of commotion, Jiangning City closed four gates.
The reason is that the Zhongyuan Festival has arrived. Although the real center is the middle of July, the ghost gate opens on the first day of July. There are still reasons for various memorials after that. There are various ingots, flowers and candles on the streets of Jiangning City, and there are so many outside the city.
There are refugees who have family members in trouble. No wonder Su Tan'er and Lu Agui will say that the city gate will be closed before the fifteenth day.
However, there are people who can see this among the refugees outside the city at this time. The refugees who can enter Jiangning City at this time will naturally have a better life. However, without various documents and identification documents, they are not allowed to enter the city at all. Once it is closed,
At the city gate, they might have a more difficult time. So on the 13th day, someone at the east gate incited the refugees to rush in. Seeing that the chaos was getting bigger and bigger, the officials guarding there quickly chose to close the city.
——Anyway, this is a decision that has been made before.
After the east gate closed, the other three gates also closed one after another.
The blind panic in the city did not last, and order was still maintained. However, at this night, Jiangning seemed a bit quiet. People were burning paper money silently in the yard and on the streets. Occasionally, there were carriages and pedestrians passing by, and it also seemed cold and desolate.
, people approaching the city wall can hear various sounds coming from outside the city gate.
By the next morning, except for the fact that no one was coming in or out from the city gate, everything seemed to be normal. The Su family's house was peaceful. They got up, washed, ate, read, practiced calligraphy, and chatted as usual.
, Xiaochan also asked about Miss Nie when she entered the room in the morning to tidy up the bedding and clean the room for Ning Yi. Ning Yi said a few words casually, but he didn’t talk much about it. At the moment, the matter did not matter.
How important it is.
There were more people in Su Mansion, fewer people went out, and the atmosphere became more lively. Children were running around, and familiar faces were walking around chatting. It was still the same on the third and fourth days, but people gradually became more and more lively.
After adapting to the fact that the city gates were closed, after the Zhongyuan Dynasty, the business of brothels and prostitutes became more lively, and all kinds of nightlife were enriched. People who went out often went out in groups to call friends, spend a lot of money, and were even happier than usual.
Enjoy life.
On the other hand, the price of rice in the city has risen to an outrageous level. The government sells grain in limited quantities every day, and the grain collected by large households is sold through black market channels. There are many wealthy merchants in Jiangning, and as long as there is no big trouble, the government will actually
There is no way to really act responsibly and strictly control them. We just use appropriate means to beat these big players and cut some flesh to help maintain order in the city.
The city gate was closed, and there were always shocks in the days before and after. Su Tan'er seemed to become even busier, and it coincided with the Zhongyuan ancestor worship, and there were a lot of trivial things. She still slept late at night. One day
She fell asleep again in the middle of the night. Ning Yi went over and blew out the lamp, but she woke up again, looked at Ning Yi and sniffed, then laughed: "I'm going to sleep right away..." This time she didn't wait long. After a while,
, I turned off the lights and went to bed to rest.
On the night of July 17th, the two were chatting in the corridor on the second floor. Su Taner was eating the pastries given to her by Ning Yi: "Well, there will probably be nothing to do in the next two days. I will go out to give porridge and food to the victims.
, Li Heng, are you coming?"
"Is it the kind of thing where food is placed on the table and the victims line up to hand it out one by one?"
"Well, we prepared porridge and steamed buns. They lined up and came over with a small bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, which is enough for a meal. The children also received a portion. The city was also closed a few years ago. I went to distribute it and put the things in their hands.
Come on, I'm very happy to hear thank you. There were quite a lot of people at that time, but it's still the first few days, so there shouldn't be many, but not too many is a good thing." Su Tan'er took the cake and nibbled it in small bites.
"Oh, you are not patriotic, but you are actually quite sentimental..."
"I'm a woman, and I can't help myself because of the kindness of a person in front of me. There are so many countries, who knows who is there?" Su Tan'er raised her head and smiled, and answered casually, "But my husband, what will happen tomorrow?"
going or not?"
"Well, go ahead."
"OK."
The city gate has only been closed for four days, and everything has not yet settled. Many things have not been used to, and many things have not yet begun. Ning Yi went to see some Nie Yunzhu, and there was nothing wrong there, but these few days are not good.
Go to Qin's hometown with her to reject the adopted daughter. Kang Xian must be busy too. Ning Yi only went out once, so naturally he couldn't meet her. Although Lu Agui mentioned that Mr. Kang wanted to argue with him, but at the moment
Of course it's impossible.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are just so many things on his scheduled itinerary. Maybe it will be stable for a few days, and those children will have enough fun, and Ning Yi will ask them to come over here.
Giving lectures in the yard or something. Going out to do good deeds tomorrow is just a simple thing for him and Su Tan'er. Not many people knew at this time that such a thing would happen the next day.
There was no preparation, but it seemed that a conspiracy that had been dormant for a long time suddenly appeared...
******************
The city has been closed for four days, and the tension in the city has not increased much. Naturally, there are not many people who are completely without food and food. However, I heard that the Su family is providing relief today, and many victims and beggars are still coming here to the Su family.
People gathered in a nearby small square.
The form of disaster relief at this time was similar to what Ning Yi had seen on TV. It was nothing more than lining up in several lines, giving a big spoonful of porridge, and giving a small steamed bun. Although the difficulties had just begun at this time, many victims actually
There were already disheveled faces, with sad expressions. Some were silent, some were grateful, and some people were talking about who was the second young lady of the Su family, and who was the uncle of the Su family... This kind of loyalty
It is normal for businessmen to gain some reputation by doing charity work.
Su Tan'er naturally knows the purpose of gaining fame. Of course, she is also happy to do good things, which is probably the kind side of her character. But for Ning Yi, it is a bit complicated. When it comes to bad things, he has seen the deepest
The darkest and unfairest thing is the most twisted human nature, but if you want to say good, he has also seen many fairer public opinions and atmospheres, so it is meaningless to him to gain a sense of superiority in such actions.
, just do it as something that needs to be done.
There was a lot of noise in the small square, and when the food was halfway distributed, Su Tan'er came over from the other side and said, "Dad is here too."
"Huh?" Ning Yi turned around and looked. A carriage separated the crowded crowd from one side of the square. This was Su Boyong who had gone out in the morning. At this time, he came all the way to go home. The carriage was still beside the row of tables and chairs where he was serving porridge.
After stopping, Su Boyong came over to say hello to Ning Yi and Su Tan'er.
Although they are father and daughter, the relationship between Su Boyong and Su Tan'er is not as warm as that of an ordinary father and daughter. Su Tan'er never acts like a spoiled child around her father like an ordinary daughter. Su Boyong's feelings towards Su Tan'er
The son always seems to be a little at a loss, not knowing whether to show his kind side, his stern side, or his professional businessman side.
After saying hello and joking with Ning Yi for a while, Su Boyong looked at Su Tan'er and then gave a brief warning: "You don't look very good these days. Rest when you can. Don't be too tired."
Su Tan'er nodded: "I know."
Then Su Boyong also went to a long table not far away and started handing out steamed buns himself. Ning Yi and Su Tan'er stayed here, one giving porridge and the other cooperating in serving steamed buns. Regarding the relationship between Su Tan'er and her father
Needless to say, the two of them were chatting here and there. At a certain moment, Ning Yi's eyes swayed and he noticed something. It was a small commotion in a team on one side.
That was the small team in front of Su Boyong. Someone squeezed up and seemed to want to jump in, causing a very normal commotion. The servant of the Su family who maintained order failed to react. The man had already closed the distance. Su Boyong
Ning Yi raised his head, holding a steamed bun in his hand. In less than a second, Ning Yi noticed that two figures collided with each other. Su Tan'er was also looking over there.
Blood sprayed out, and the man took a knife in his hand and stabbed Su Boyong. Su Boyong staggered back, turned around, and the man stabbed him in the back again, turned around and ran away.
"Ah——" the crowd screamed, and the chaos expanded. Ning Yi opened the table and ran over there. Su Tan'er started almost at the same time, without any exclamation or shouting, with almost no expression on her face and eyes. Ning Yi
Yi rushed to the side to prevent the chaotic crowd from spreading over. Su Tan'er threw herself beside her father. She glanced in the direction of the running gangster and simply said to the servants around her: "Catch him."
Then he just lowered his head and pressed his father's wound, ignoring the other side. In fact, many servants had already gathered around him.
Ning Yi paid attention to the surroundings and made sure that even if there was a second gangster, it would be impossible for him to rush up again. Then he turned back to help Su Tan'er hold the wound. Su Tan'er had tears in her eyes and pursed her lips tightly.
Without speaking, I'm afraid it was a little confusing for a while. So Ning Yi ordered around: "Find the nearest doctor! Bring those clean cloths! Hurry up, hurry up, do what you can do..."
The two stab wounds were relatively deep. Although they were not fatal for a while, the consequences were unpredictable. Su Boyong was conscious. At this time, he was holding Su Tan'er's hand and saying something. Ning Yi frowned and looked around, looking for possibilities.
See the clues.
It may be premeditated, it may not be, but among the three rooms of the Su family, the eldest room is the weakest. Although people say that Su Tan'er is the most powerful successor of the third generation and may take charge of the Su family in the future, it is still a test at this time.
Stage. The Su family's main house is always controlled by Su Boyong, he is the backbone.
After these two cuts, what will happen to the Su family tomorrow? The consequences are unpredictable...
