Chapter 498 The refugee problem (seeking a bank note)
Huh? Is this... the retreat over?
Jiang Fan was a little surprised.
Because Hong Qigong who walked out of the wing looked very old.
The whole person trembled one step at a time, as if he could hardly walk even these few steps.
The aura flowing on the surface of the body was even more decayed, so dispirited that Jiang Fan could even detect a hint of death in it!
Jiang Fan couldn't help but change his face slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Hong Qigong.
But before he could make any move, he saw sisters Lin Wanru and Lin Wanqing running over with joy on their faces.
One on the left and one on the right held Hong Qigong's arms respectively, and their expressions of excitement were palpable.
"Seventh Uncle, you have actually broken through to such a level. It's... it's simply unbelievable."
Lin Wanru changed her calm temperament, and there was excitement in her tone that could not be concealed.
"Yes, Seventh Uncle, didn't you say that...this kind of state only exists in imagination, and no one has ever really reached it?"
Lin Wanqing was excited and full of curiosity.
"Haha, I have to thank Xiaofan for this. If it weren't for Xiaofan's several suggestions, I'm afraid I would still not be able to understand some of the key points, let alone achieve a real breakthrough."
Hong Qigong said with a smile.
Jiang Fan was even more surprised.
Looking at it like this, Hong Qigong succeeded in breaking through? Then why is he so much older than before the breakthrough?
The whole person looks extremely weak, as if he is dying?
Lin Wanru noticed Jiang Fan's expression and naturally understood what Jiang Fan was thinking.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "This is a matter of the skills practiced by the seventh uncle. The skills of the seventh uncle are very strange. They emphasize living toward death. Therefore, the higher the realm, the closer it seems to death. Don't look at it.
It seems that Uncle Seventh is breathing out more and taking in less air now. In fact, his body is much stronger than before the breakthrough."
"Living towards death?"
Jiang Fan couldn't understand what these four words meant in martial arts.
But since it is a normal phenomenon, there is no need to worry.
So after heaving a sigh of relief, Jiang Fan curiously walked around Hong Qi Gong twice, and couldn't help but say: "Although you said this is normal, I have to say... Qi Uncle looks like this.
He may die at any time."
"boom!"
As soon as Jiang Fan finished speaking, Hong Qigong suddenly raised his foot and took a step on the ground seemingly effortlessly.
A loud noise suddenly started.
Jiang Fan watched helplessly as Hong Qigong's stepping foot was stepped on, creating a circle of dense cracks!
The cracked lines spread instantly throughout the entire open space!
Jiang Fan's whole body shook involuntarily, as if he had encountered a small earthquake.
His face suddenly turned pale, and Jiang Fan said, "Um... there's something going on at Tieniu. I'll go over and take a look first. Wanqing, just come to the government office to see me after you finish your meal."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away quickly.
Lin Wanru couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, watching Jiang Fan disappear in an instant like a rabbit, she couldn't help but scolded: "Seventh uncle, why are you scaring brother Jiang Fan?"
"Should I scare him? Xiao Wanru, you have to speak with conscience! He was obviously the one who cursed me to death first."
Hong Qigong said angrily.
"You can't blame Brother Jiang Fan for this. After all, you look like this... you are indeed what Brother Jiang Fan said."
Lin Wanru stuck out her tongue and said.
"Hey, it's no wonder that people say that women can't stay in college. As an old man, I'm really not as good as my lover."
Hong Qigong pretended to be melancholy and said.
"Seventh uncle! I will ignore you!"
Lin Wanru blushed, stamped her feet, turned around and ran back to the wing.
At this time, Jiang Fan had already run out of the Lin family's house, and the people on the street who recognized him greeted him one after another.
Jiang Fan responded enthusiastically, but what came to his mind was Hong Qigong's terrifying kick just now.
Of course he wasn't frightened, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying within human power.
The seemingly light kick seemed to shake the ground without any effort at all.
How exaggerated would it be if Hong Qigong stepped on it with all his strength?
Shouldn't they just crush the whole city of Heyang?
Wait a moment!
If I remember correctly, Wan Qing once said before that Hong Qigong is one of the most powerful among all the masters in the world!
In other words, Hong Qigong could already be regarded as the pinnacle of the world before his breakthrough.
So the breakthrough this time...does it mean that Hong Qigong is equivalent to the undisputed strongest man in the world?
Oops, there is someone living under the sky at home who is the strongest in the world. Thinking about it, you are still a little excited?
Thinking about these things in his heart, Jiang Fan showed an even brighter smile to the people around him who greeted him.
Arriving at the government office soon, Jiang Fan walked all the way to his office.
Tieniu was sitting in the office, looking sad.
As Jiang Fan walked in, Tieniu was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes vigorously as if he couldn't believe his eyes, and then suddenly jumped up from the chair.
The cannon rushed in front of Jiang Fan like it was being discharged. He hugged Jiang Fan's arm and cried out: "Master, you are finally back."
Jiang Fan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
He enjoyed it very much when Lin Wanqing held his arm like this.
But for a burly man like Tieniu who looked almost two meters tall to do such an action, it was really chilling.
He quickly pulled his arm out with all his strength, Jiang Fan kicked Tieniu on the butt, and said viciously: "If you have something to say, please say it! Don't touch me!"
"Huh? Yes, young master, what have you been doing these past few days? Why haven't you come back? I'm almost worried to death."
Tieniu cried and cried in pain.
"What are you worried about? Someone in the government office is acting like a monster? Are you going against your will?"
Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows.
If that was the case, he would have to have a good chat with Gu Yanyan.
"That's not true. All the officials in the yamen are honest. However, in recent days, refugees from outside the city are still pouring into the city. These refugees have no homes and jobs, and they have basically become beggars.
As a result, the security environment in the city has been deteriorating recently, and the number of street patrol officers is quite insufficient. Master, how should we deal with this?"
Tieniu asked with a grimace.
"Refugees? What's going on? Why do refugees keep coming in?"
Jiang Fan frowned and asked.
"Isn't it because of this severe drought? Many farmers have no harvest from their fields and have no other way to get food. They have no choice but to sell their land or even their houses to landlords. The situation this year is so bad.
It’s impossible to sell at a reasonable price, I’ve run out of food, and I’ve lost my land and a place to live. What else can I do if I’m not a refugee?”
Tieniu said helplessly.
"How many of these refugees have poured into the city during this period?"
Jiang Fan asked.
"There are no specific numbers, but there are at least a few thousand people, and they are basically from villages around Heyang."
Thousands of people... This is really not a small trouble...
Jiang Fan frowned and thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take me to see you."
