The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

"Why don't you believe me?" Jiang Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked Shi Liu in a relaxed tone.

Shi Liu quickly shook her head, her hands moving without stopping, and responded as she worked: "Of course not! I'm just worried that you're too tired, young lady."

Jiang Li smiled and continued to work, while Shi Liu helped him. After a while, Shi Liu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss, are you going to make one piece of these clothes for each young master? Isn't that too many?"

Jiang Li raised her head and explained seriously: "No, just take it slow. Let's start with the third brother first. The eldest brother won't be back for some time, and the second brother lives far away. In addition, we have to make one for father and mother respectively." She took everyone in the family into consideration.

At this moment, Shi Liu suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Is there any place for my cousin?"

Jiang Li heard this and showed a trace of doubt on his face. He turned to look at Shi Liu, seeming a little surprised by the question. "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to make my cousin's clothes!" She said with a little uncertainty.

When Shi Liu heard this, she realized that she might have guessed wrong, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no special relationship between the young lady and the young master. Shi Liu's mood suddenly became cheerful, and she happily worked with Jiang Li.

On the way to Jiangnan, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci traveled light and finally entered Yangzhou City. They did not choose to stay in the post station, but chose an inconspicuous inn as their place of stay.

"Cousin, do you think our trip to Jiangnan will go smoothly this time?" Xie Ci had not mentioned the investigation all along the way, and only asked at this moment. He knew that his ability was limited, and this trip was mostly to ensure the personal safety of his cousin. As for thinking and finding clues, he still had to rely on his cousin.

Jiang Xing listened to his words and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he sighed softly: "This matter is of great importance and involves a wide range of people. You and I must be extra cautious. And here, you must not act alone, you must have someone with you." He knew that this mission was difficult and that if he was not careful, he might lose everything. Therefore, he was particularly concerned about Xie Ci's safety, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

"Yeah, I see. So where should we start investigating?" Xie Ci has been following Wu Anhou since he was young. He has been through many battles and can remain calm in the face of swords, guns and bullets. But when he faces the officialdom, he becomes cautious, fearing that he will fall into an irretrievable situation if he is not careful. After all, the officialdom is like a battlefield, and one wrong step may lead to a complete loss.

"Tomorrow we will go to the worst-hit areas and then make plans," Jiang Xing said seriously.

"Okay, you're tired after the journey, go and take a rest!" Jiang Xing looked at Xie Ci's tired face and asked him to rest quickly.

The next morning, the sun had just risen, and the warm sunlight was shining on the earth. The two had already prepared. They changed into simple clothes and tried to keep a low profile. Then, they went to the street to look for a suitable carriage. After searching for a while, they finally found a simple carriage, hired a driver, and set off towards the south of the city.

As the carriage slowly moved forward, it was getting closer and closer to the destination. When they were about to arrive, the two decided to get off the carriage and walk forward. This way they could better observe the surrounding situation and get closer to the lives of the victims.

As they walked in step by step, their hearts became heavier. The scene before them was heartbreaking. The victims were naked, and some could only lie on the cold ground, barely covering their bodies with tattered cloth. Seeing this scene, the two men were filled with endless sympathy and pity.

The further you go inside, the more chilling the situation becomes. The once bustling corner of the city has now become a desolate scene. The houses on both sides of the street are dilapidated, and the walls are covered with mottled marks, as if telling of the suffering that has been suffered here. The victims have haggard faces, and their eyes reveal despair and helplessness. They have lost their homes, relatives and hope for life, and the future has become confusing.

Faced with such a serious disaster, the two felt that their power was so small.

"Cousin, didn't the court allocate disaster relief funds before? Why is it still like this now?" Xie Ci widened his eyes and looked at the devastated scene with starving people in front of him in disbelief, his heart full of confusion and shock.

Jiang Xing snorted coldly and said with a gloomy face: "If those officials really distributed the disaster relief funds truthfully, why would we come here all the way to check the disaster situation?" His words revealed his anger and disdain for those corrupt officials.

"How abominable! Can't they see this?" Xie Ci's tone became even more angry, his chest heaving violently, as if there was a fire burning in his heart. He widened his eyes, clenched his teeth, and said angrily: "These people are simply a bunch of ignorant and fearless idiots! How can they turn a blind eye to this?"

"Yes, the emperor is far away, and what His Majesty can see is what the people below let him see!" Jiang Xing's words were like a sharp sword, piercing through this hypocritical veil. He sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly, and continued: "The reality we face is often cruel. Those who are high up may not really understand the suffering of the people. And those of us at the bottom can only silently bear everything..."
