Chapter 44: The Disaster

On the other hand, Meng Fan in Hanoi.

Originally, the atmosphere of corruption in this great abyss was extremely strong, and she knew that it was extremely difficult to deal with it, so she never dared to deal with it.

This family looks very noble, but in fact, to put it bluntly, each one of them is a moth of this country, and the "things" eaten one by one cannot be counted at all.

Meng Fan turned a blind eye before, as long as they weren't too much, she never interfered.

Because she understands that if she makes a big move, she will eventually involve the Meng family.

At that time, others would not say that she was upright, but would only talk behind her back, Meng Fan's move was so stupid.

But when she walked into this place called Hanoi, the first thing she saw was the devaluation.

The old woman held her baby in her arms, and watched helplessly as her house was demolished and the dead man was buried.

Just to exchange for a bowl of leftovers.

She asked the people why they didn't go to get food.

But we got a unanimous reply - the government said that there was no food for us to eat.

Meng Fan was desperate, this grain distribution book signed by her own hands, the million catties of grain, just disappeared?

The belongings for the victims were gone.

Her empty hands were dripping with sweat.

Look at the sky that is still deep blue, and then look at the people of Hanoi with empty eyes.

There seemed to be a cry of life in her heart.

However, when she first wanted to report to the emperor, the first person to stop her was her uncle.

The 800-mile urgent family letter, which clearly told Meng Fan.

- Everything is dominated by the Meng family!

Everything is based on the Meng family......

A few words flew through her mind over and over again, she was the head of the Meng family, and she should take the Meng family first, but after all, she was still the parent official of the people, holding a good grade of prime minister.

Even she didn't think she had seen such a thing, was she really worthy of the people of the Great Abyss?

After thinking about it for a few days and nights, a letter from the imperial court came down and asked her to go back as much as possible.

She also packed her belongings, and was already in the carriage ready to leave, accompanied by several soldiers.

Yes, she gave in.

However, at this time, there was a thin woman hanging on the city gate.

Her head was down, and there seemed to be dried blood at the corners of her mouth.

The clothes were barely able to cover the whole body slightly, but some faintness could still be seen.

However, what Meng Fan saw was not from a covetous gaze.

It's resentment, it's endless resentment.

Ordinary people piled up outside the prefect's gate, hoes in their hands, and some of them held children who had been starved to death at birth.

Wailing.

And those so-called parents drove away the already pitiful ones with swords, and there was not a word of good words that came out of their mouths.

"What's wrong with that woman hanging upstairs?" Meng Fan asked.

The soldier shook her head slightly and sighed, she just wanted to kill the corrupt official and let the court send another person to save us.

The carriage departed, and there was a cloud of dust.

Meng Fan suddenly shouted: "Go back, go to the prefect." ”

The soldier looked at Meng Fan suspiciously, and Meng Fan's face was calm.

When the carriage arrived, the prefect was still holding the red-faced concubine who was eating in his arms, eating the fruit he had just brought from other provinces.

Because he didn't know that it was Meng Fan coming, he didn't even raise his eyes.

"Lord Wang!"

Meng Fan scolded, and the man suddenly jumped up.

Originally, he had been pretending to be poor and taking care of the people a few days ago, but now because he learned that Meng Fan was leaving, he returned to the prototype at once.

It was a coincidence, but Meng Fan looked at it squarely.

When someone saw the prime minister who was praised by the people, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "Prime minister, save us!" ”

This one person shouted this sentence, and the people behind him shouted.

They put all their hopes on Meng Fan.

The prefect raised his head slightly and smiled: "Meng Xiang, the big guys know about this disaster relief, you just turn a blind eye when you are old!" ”

"What if I don't turn a blind eye?"

"I'm naturally embarrassed by the adults, but this is ...... above"

Before the man raised his eyebrows and said those threatening words, Meng Fan's sword had already seen blood.

The delicate concubine shouted that she had killed someone, but she didn't forget to beg for mercy.

Meng Fan glanced at her coldly, and then looked at the tattered woman in the crowd who was holding the child.

The woman may have been afraid of her and hid herself, but she heard Meng Fan say, "You all come in!" Look at what you want in this prefect's place. ”

When this sentence was uttered, those people did rush in like crazy.

Only the woman holding the child who had just died looked at Meng Fan without saying a word, and she didn't move.

Meng Fan put the sword away and walked over slowly.

The woman was still a little timid, stepped back slightly, and then raised her head slightly.

She cried, very sad and helpless.

"Your Excellency!"

With a hint of hope in her voice, she took out a free hand and firmly grabbed Meng Fan and said, "Save the child!" She's not dead yet. ”

Meng Fan saw the child in her hand, her skin was bruised, and she snuggled up to her mother's side.

It's been a long time since I've been dead.

And the mother still felt that the child was still crying.

"You get up first, it's not good for you to kneel like this." Meng Fan pulled her.

And the woman arose.

Meng Fan thought for a while and said to the woman: "I know you must be sad, but this child is really dead, bury her well!" ”

Originally, she thought that the woman should cry a lot, and then grabbed her.

She's all ready for it.

However, the woman only kissed the child on the forehead slightly.

"My lord, please come up with a name for your child!"

She smiled, as if she hadn't heard Meng Fan's words just now.

Meng Fan deliberately mentioned it again, and an old woman beside him said: "My lord, don't stimulate her, her husband died outside in exchange for food, and the only thought left was also because of this famine, she can't stand the fright." ”

As soon as Meng Fan heard this, he retracted the words that were already on his lips.

Touching the child, he smiled and said, "It's called Anle, and I'll be happy for the rest of my life." ”

The woman nodded gratefully, got up and left.

Meng Fan looked at her.

She walked far, far away.

With her disappearance, the guilt in Meng Fan's heart became even stronger.

If he had made up his mind earlier, Xu Wei would not have been the ending he has now, and the child might have been saved.

Thinking about her was even angrier.

In the next few days, she summoned all the people to distribute all the grain in the prefect's granary.

also collected a lot of information about the embezzlers, or she originally had it, but she didn't come up with it for a long time.

One moth after another was revealed.

Instead, they joined forces one after another, first attacking Meng Fan in the court.

Then he ambushed Meng Fan on the way to visit those victims.

However, the people all believed that Meng Fan was their savior, and they desperately protected Meng Fan one by one and protected her from harm.
