My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 112 Beating
Throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty, officials like Prefect Wang, who only care about their own affairs and not the consequences, are as numerous as the stars in the sky.

They hold positions without performing their duties, living in disgrace and shamelessly engaging in petty scheming. The moment they open their eyes, they're already reaching out for benefits.

As for those in charge? What do they care about the lives of the common people?

Xiao Jinzhi didn't want to say another word to Wang Yinghui, and simply instructed Commander Hu, "Old Hu, take them and go to gather all the doctors in the city at the yamen."

"Yes, Your Highness." Commander Hu grabbed Wang Yinghui, who was lying on the ground, and his fist, as big as a bowl, landed on Wang Yinghui's head before stopping.

"Let's go, Prefect Wang. Let's put the matter of the robbers aside for now and deal with this mess first."

"Hey, Commander Hu, hey, ouch!" Prefect Wang was dragged away by the tall, strong man, his feet barely touching the ground.

Xiao Jinzhi turned to look at Xin Nian and smiled gently at her, "Let's enter the city first."

Xin Nian nodded, glanced at the Xin family members who were covered in dust and dressed in tattered clothes, and said, "Let's go."

Before she could utter a second word, the crowd swarmed around her and followed the Xin family into the city.

Liu Huo grabbed the archer centurion and coldly ordered, "Take your men and retreat. And you all..."

He pointed at the bewildered Zhou Tongpan and Yang Tongzhi, "Stop daydreaming like a ghost. Open your eyes and look at the situation before you, and send more people over."

"Divide into several teams for registration. Arrange for healthy people to enter the city, and gather the sick together for unified arrangements to enter the city for treatment."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the bewildered Magistrate Yang, "Wan'an Prefecture is such a big place, let alone accommodating a mere ten thousand or so refugees. Even if there were twice that number, it would still be able to accommodate them. You all know this very well."

"Don't try to brush us off with talk of illness. Everyone knows the truth: patients can be housed and managed in designated areas. Even if we don't allow patients into the city, we can find a villa outside the city to house them and treat them together."

"You're not unaware, you're just too lazy to care."

Yang Tongzhi's face turned pale and then flushed.

Regardless of his expression, Liu Huo finished speaking and raised his arm to shout, "All brothers, follow me to open the warehouse!"

"Hey, hey, Lord Liuhuo, Lord Liuhuo!" Yang Tongzhi was anxious and hurriedly took a few steps to grab Liuhuo's arm.

Liu Huo drew his sword and pointed it at the other man. Yang Tongzhi pulled his hand back and fell to the ground, no longer daring to pull him around recklessly.

"His Highness has ordered that everyone seize the time to inventory the granaries and open them for disaster relief within one day. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy."

With a single stroke of his sword, he cleaved the wooden stake blocking his path. As the debris flew, Prefect Yang, Magistrate Zhou, and the others all shuddered.

His Highness the Crown Prince is serious this time.

As a prefecture in the middle to upper ranks among the seven prefectures and twenty-three prefectures, Wan'an Prefecture was originally ranked among the top prefectures.

Therefore, it possesses real strength.

Nearly two hundred people followed His Highness the Crown Prince into the government office and became honored guests.

After settling into their accommodations, almost everyone cried...

Xin Nian looked at the group of idiots standing in front of her, crying and sobbing. Men and women, young and old, were all as dirty as ghosts.

She sighed and tried to soften her voice.

"Take two days off. We'll meet here at 7 AM on the third day to discuss something."

"We all came to the government office under His Highness's guidance, and we should be aware of our place. At times like this, we should be grateful to have decent rooms to stay in, and we shouldn't expect any maids or servants to wait on us."

"Eat, drink, and sleep as you please, get some rest and be self-sufficient. Alright, everyone take your cards to your rooms and disperse."

Xin Wen'an hurriedly ran forward and whispered to the little girl, "Little Six, look at your grandmother, and your sisters, they're all filthy. I wonder if there's any clean well water in the backyard of the government office so everyone can take a bath..."

Xin Nian looked around and beckoned to a servant boy under the eaves.

The servant dared not delay, and stepped forward in a few quick steps, broom in hand, to bow. "Take me to see the well in your backyard."

The servant hurriedly led her over, and Xin Wen'an, Xin Wenyuan, Xie Ninglan, and the rest of the group followed.

Seeing that the Xin family was running in one direction, the others followed suit.

Upon arriving at the well, Xin Nian directed her brother, Xin Mochen, to draw up a bucket of well water.

Everyone saw her take something strange out of her handbag, press some button, and throw it into the bucket.

Within seconds, a dripping sound came from the water.

When Xin Nian pulled the water out, she saw a green light, indicating that the water was clear and safe.

"It's fine." Xin Nian smiled and nodded to Xin Wenyuan and his wife.

Xin Wenyuan and Xie Ninglan also showed relieved smiles.

It's troublesome to always have Mianmian fill the water for everyone. Although it can help her train her superpowers, it's also quite troublesome. They always have to sneak around to find a place to fill the water, and then have Xiao Liu pretend to "discover" the clear water puddles.

Moreover, it's impossible to prepare that much bathwater for everyone at once.

The family had discussed this before. Now that a water-based sorcerer like Chen Ling has appeared here, does this mean that sorcerers won't be so rare in the future, and it won't matter if they are exposed?

But after much thought, it was still inappropriate to reveal Mianmian's identity as a water-based sorcerer in front of everyone.

This team was only temporarily formed, and with just over two hundred people, it's not exactly small.

Human nature cannot withstand scrutiny.

There are always people scheming in the shadows, so it's necessary to be careful in everything we do to ensure Mianmian's safety.

“Well water is filtered through layers of underground, so there are definitely fewer impurities and contaminants.” Xin Wenyuan turned around with a smile and slapped the third brother on the shoulder. “What are you standing there for, you idiot? Go and get a bath tub.”

Xie Ninglan smiled and turned to the old lady, saying, "Mother, this water can be used for bathing and drinking as well. Let Third Brother fetch water for you to bathe in first, then you can get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow feeling refreshed."

The old lady was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

Xin Laosan had already dragged Mu Zhong and Mu Liang to the backyard to fetch a water bucket.

Once the others realized what was happening, they all scattered and rushed back to get water containers.

Xin Nian turned around and saw His Highness the Crown Prince standing not far from the corridor, waving at her with a slight smile.

"Dali, dali."

"girl!"

"You stay here and help the women fetch some water, I'll be right back."

"Good girl."

Xin Nian skipped over to the Crown Prince and asked him with great interest, "Are you going to take me to see a play?"

"I've already sent someone to gather all the physicians in Wan'an Prefecture. Now, let me take you to the granary for a look around. Would you like to go?"

Xin Nian nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Jinzhi pursed her lips slightly, her phoenix eyes smiling, "You can't imagine, the show at the granary is even more interesting than the one at the city gate."

Xin Nian's interest was immediately piqued, and she urged the Crown Prince impatiently, "Your Highness, let's go quickly."

The two arrived at the entrance of the No. 1 granary in Wan'an Prefecture and saw several women lying outside the gate, throwing a tantrum and crying their hearts out.

"Do not open a position!"
