After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

"Aunt, look at those people. Have you ever seen them in Yunzhou City?"

When the weather gets warmer, most people who have no food to eat will go digging wild vegetables. Even if she doesn't know them, Hu Zi's mother will definitely find them familiar.

"I haven't seen them. They don't seem to be from our Yunzhou City. Did they hear about Madam Lin's kindness and come from far away?"

Hu Zi's mother was also very worried. They were already in a difficult situation, and Mrs. Lin had finally extended a helping hand, but with so many people, how long could Lin Ting hold on?

Every time these strangers took away a bowl of porridge, they were taking away the hope of life for the people of Yunzhou City.

Lin Ting noticed these changes. When she was distributing the porridge, her eyes kept lingering on those people.

Finally, I found that those unfamiliar people did not wolf down the porridge after receiving it. Instead, they ate slowly and leisurely, and were in the mood to chat and laugh with others.

It was a smile of conversation and laughter, not a smile of suffering being given food.

"Master Lin, look at those people over there. They don't seem to need help."

Even Wan Weiran noticed something was wrong. These people did it on purpose, and they appeared together suddenly on purpose.

This kind of sudden appearance usually has someone else's handiwork behind it.

"It seems we've been targeted. Go tell everyone that since they're here to share our porridge, they can only eat it here. If they waste it or eat it somewhere else, we won't share our porridge with them next time."

Wan Weiran felt very uncomfortable in this situation, and he could only follow Lin Ting's arrangements.

Hu Zi's mother also went to help, and there were many other women there as well.

Nie Pengyun walked up to the city wall and watched his men pretending to be civilians. He also saw Lin Ting's men cooking pot after pot of porridge. He played with a jade pendant in his hand with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha... Fight with me. I want to see how hard your wallet can be."

"Young City Lord is wise. I have contacted more people to come here. In addition, the food in Yunzhou City has been controlled by the City Lord's Mansion. This is what Madam Lin and Cheng Si bought.

The food that was originally enough to last for two months can now only last for ten days at most. These ten days are enough for you, the Young City Lord, to deal with them."

That’s right, if Lin Ting dared to save these people outside the city, she would be going against the City Lord’s Mansion, and Nie Pengyun would definitely not let them go easily.

Finally, Lin Ting distributed all the porridge. The next day, she called Cheng Si and asked Cheng Si's men to surround the entire porridge distribution area.

Seeing that there were twice as many new faces as yesterday, Lin Ting's mouth curled up. That's great.

"Wan Weiran, take out the good rice I prepared specially for today. Let's cook a little bit first."

There was also a hint of pride on Wan Weiran's face after some calculation. Today's rice was mixed with coptis powder, and if it was cooked into porridge, it would become very bitter.

But those who really need to fill their stomachs don’t care about this issue at all.

Before cooking, Wan Weiran stood on the footboard of the carriage and said to the people waiting.

"My fellow countrymen, Dongxia is short of food. Even the emperor is very frugal, so we cannot waste it.

I'm a doctor, and I'm sure everyone has heard of my identity. Today, I accidentally dropped some coptis root powder on the rice, and it tastes a bit bitter. If you mind, you don't have to come to collect it."

Wan Weiran's notice was just a formality, telling those who really needed it that rice was just bitter and it was okay to eat it.

Everyone had a clue in their mind. After Lin Ting and his friends had finally cooked their porridge, he sprinkled a layer of wood ash on it, and it looked like it didn't look very appetizing.

However, wood ash is also a herb and it doesn't taste bad when eaten. We all cook with fire, and we all know that wood ash will not kill people.

All of Cheng Si’s people are here today. If you take the porridge away but don’t eat it, you won’t be allowed to leave.

Many people frowned when they saw the porridge. Some of them were unwilling to give up and came to share the porridge, but they spat it out the moment they took a sip.

"What the hell is this? It's so bitter."

Wan Weiran was watching, and when he saw someone doing this, he immediately ordered someone to arrest him, accusing him of wasting food and taking him to the Zhangzhou prefect to reason with him.

"Someone, take this person who is wasting food away from me."

The man was stunned for a moment. Did they really take him away? He panicked.

"I didn't do anything? You can't arrest me. Do you know who I am?"

Wan Weiran: "I don't care who you are, wasting food is not an option."

Seeing this, and considering that the rice porridge was bitter and contained wood ash, many people who were still queuing left.

The rest of the people didn't care how the porridge tasted, whether it contained wood ash or not. Compared with grass roots and tree bark, the porridge Lin Ting tasted was much better.

Seeing that his people were scared away by Lin Ting's porridge, Nie Pengyun was so angry that he smashed the jade pendant in his hand.

"I'm so angry, what the hell is this? I think they just have a good life. It's just a little dark porridge, how can it kill people?"

Nie Pengyun came back and smashed the study in the City Lord's Mansion. He was so angry that he wanted to die. If his father knew about such a small thing, he would have no chance of being the young City Lord.

"Young City Lord, that Madam Lin is too shrewd. That's why our plan doesn't work. How about we think of another way?"

Nie Pengyun paced back and forth anxiously in the study: "Is there any other way? Do you still want me to kill that woman?

She is someone Cheng Si has to try to please, so her background must be extraordinary. If something happens to her here at this moment, will Cheng Si let it go? "

Nie Pengyun was already upset enough when the door of his study was kicked open from outside.

"Who the hell wants to die..."

Nie Pengyun, who was cursing loudly, turned around and saw the face that frightened him. Nie Tian came back with an angry look on his face.

"Nie Pengyun, who are you scolding?"

Nie Pengyun's shoulders were stiff and he stammered, unable to speak.

"father……"

Nie Tian looked at him coldly. He had heard about what happened in Yunzhou City. It had been so long, and those people outside the city were still alive.

Before leaving, Nie Tian had clearly instructed Nie Pengyun to starve all the people outside the city to death before the ice and snow melted. However, Nie Pengyun couldn't even do such a small thing.

"Everyone get out, Nie Pengyun stays."

Nie Tian had a very sinister aura, and just standing there gave people a sense of oppression.

After everyone in the study had left, Nie Tian looked at the mess on the floor and walked past Nie Pengyun to sit in the main seat.

"If things go wrong, can we solve it by smashing these things?"

Looking at his disappointing son lying on the ground, Nie Tian's face was cold. He would definitely teach his concubine the child well after she gave birth to her. In his eyes, Nie Pengyun was already useless.

"When the ice and snow melt, those women and children will be able to survive on wild vegetables again. Then they will go to the village to look for us. If they can't find us, there's no telling what might happen."
