Chapter 1632: Empty Ya
However, it is the city gate of Huaiyang County, the defenders are fierce and vicious, and everyone who enters the city has to charge one or two silver to enter the city.
Even if it is not a disaster year, a tael of silver is not low, not to mention that now, for those refugees, a tael of silver is almost an astronomical amount, and the thin refugees, compared with the strong defenders of the city, they cannot break through this barrier.
They had no money to enter the city, so they had to find a place to shelter outside the city gates.
The refugees gathered in the northern suburbs outside the city, lacking food and clothing, and no one to take care of them, some of them were sick, some were dying of hunger, and in order to survive, they even changed their children to eat, and the situation was unbearable.
When Shangguan Qianyu arrived in Huaiyang County, it was a situation full of sorrow.
After Shangguan Qianyu first saw it in the northern suburbs outside the city, his heart was full of anger, the natural disaster had risen, the people were not happy, but none of the officials of the imperial court were seen.
Is there something going on in the city that they can't take care of, or is it something else?
However, when the bad attitude of those city defenders was displayed in front of them, and many refugees were scolded by them, and even drew swords to intimidate them to back aside, Shangguan Qianyu's heart was furious.
How could the mere defenders be so bold? It was the officials who had a problem. Punishing a few defenders of the city will not be a matter at all, and it will still startle the snakes, and it will not solve the problem fundamentally.
Shangguan Qianyu took a tael of silver and threw it to the defenders and entered the city.
Everything in the city may not be much better than outside, Huaiyang County has three counties, and the state yamen of Fengzhou is also located in Huaiyang County, which is the hub of the entire Fengzhou.
There are many officials and abundant land, which should have been a prosperous place, but now it is a depression, and the people in those cities have vegetables. The house was closed, and when they saw someone coming, they didn't even dare to say anything, so they immediately avoided and left.
Shangguan Qianyu went to the Taishou Yamen first, as the parent official of the entire Fengzhou, the Taishou is also a high-ranking official, and he is a big member.
However, the Taishou Yamen was supposed to be a solemn and majestic official office, but when he stood outside, he saw only a desolate and withered place, and there were obviously no officials.
The door is also hidden.,Looking at the dust at the door.,At least half a month has not been promoted to work.。。
One of the counties under the jurisdiction of Huaiyang County was breached by refugees, and the magistrate was killed, so this happened, but this is in Huaiyang City, it is a dignified Taishou Mansion, and there are obviously not so many refugees in the city, why is there not even a state Taishou?
Shangguan Qianyu frowned, and was about to push the door in, when he suddenly felt a pair of eyes watching him, he immediately turned his head to look, only to see an old man in his sixties poking his head out of the corner of the alley, looking at him quietly, seeing him coming, he immediately shrank into the alley.
Shangguan Qianyu looked at the quiet official office, there must be no one inside, and he was not in a hurry to get in, but this old man seemed to know something.
Even if he appeared here, shouldn't it be a coincidence, maybe he has been staying here?
Shangguan Qianyu hurriedly shouted: "Old man, please stay!"
I didn't expect him to scream, but when he shouted, the old man was faster, as if he was running for his life, and ran up.
Shangguan Qianyu said, "Old man, slow down!" said and chased after him.
This old man has a yellow face and thin muscles, and at such an age, he has to fall well.
The old man's feet are getting faster and faster, but, after all, he is old, his legs and feet are not good, and in front of Shangguan Qianyu, no matter how fast he is, he can't run far.
