"You don't know, you don't know how tight the dynasty's budget is, you don't know how much effort I put into making every penny work the most effective every day, I don't know how collapsed I can only helplessly watch my people disappear before my eyes after I exhausted my efforts."

He sat down in his position almost collapsed, smiled mockingly, covered his face with both hands, and muttered from between his fingers: "But what can I do? I can only hold on, and I can only try to minimize the loss. ”

"Okay, it's okay now, it's okay like this, you know, they don't have to go on the road alone, they won't be 'ignorant of heaven and earth'." After Lu Dongyang finished speaking, he took a deep breath, cheered up, beckoned, asked the official to help him up, and nodded to the people who were completely stunned: "Let's go, come with me to see them." Xu Shi said well, one day as a teacher, a lifelong teacher, one day as an official, and a lifelong father. ”

Lu Dongyang, who was supported by the officials, his shoulders were stiff as if he had been crushed, he faltered, and his march was difficult, but he was very stubborn.

It seems that if he falls, the whole Dezhuang will follow.

In the eyes of everyone in Dezhuang, Lu Dongyang has always been a combination of nobility and arrogance, they have never seen him so depressed, let alone seen him show weakness for the first time in these years, they have seen his weakness.

From his words, they had heard the severity of the matter, and they knew that he was only afraid of a big deal, but he also had his grief, his helplessness, his consideration, his compulsion, and he was for the safety of the majority. Not for yourself.

Besides, at this moment, who is in the mood to reproach him?

Figuring out what's really going on is all that matters.

Following Lu Dongyang, everyone walked forward silently.

No one saw that Lu Dongyang, who was 'full of grief', when he passed by Tian Mi and Lin Weiya, the corners of his cold mouth were weirdly raised, and there were tears in his eyes. It's clearly a knife light.

Tian Mi bit her fleshy lower lip tightly. Lin Weiya and Xu Tianfu were on her shoulders with one hand.

Seeing everyone hugging Lu Dongyang and walking away, Tian Mi turned her head to look at the two people around her, and her pale lips grinned. The big pupils were a little frightening. She raised her eyebrows and said, "What." You think I'm going to pounce on him and fight him? ”

The two looked at her and tacitly swallowed the word 'yes' back into their stomachs.

Look at this, isn't it?

Tian Mi shook her head. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Lu Dongyang's back solemnly, and while rescuing his two arms from the palms of the two, he snorted and said, "He is also worth my life?" Although my life is not expensive, I am a precious child, and I can't wait to spend every minute and every second on it, how can I have leisure to spend on him? ”

Seeing that she understood so well, the two finally completely relieved their hearts and let go of her.

"Let's go, I want to see how he can justify himself in the face of such ironclad evidence." Tian Mi said, follow first, and the two followed.

A group of people went out from the government office and went to the city gate, along the way, provoking passers-by to come to see frequently, and after explaining the reason, more and more people joined them.

To the city gate, it has become a monstrous trend.

And the leader of the man, his face was as stiff as a stone, and the iron was blue.

Lu Dongyang looked at the towering city wall in front of him, the strong city gate, and that heart, he could pull out blood and water with a handful.

Have you ever seen someone bring someone to expose your own ugliness? By the gift of those two, he is.

Lu Dongyang used all his strength, and Fang raised his hand little by little, but his five fingers were stiff, fixed there, and he couldn't wave it anymore.

How can you wave your hand lightly? If he decides this, he is afraid that he will be ruined. The name of this life will be buried by his own hands. He was so unwilling.

But thousands of eyes behind him, like thousands of sharp swords, just pressed against his backbone, forcing him to comply.

Fame, power, life.

Lu Dongyang raised his head and slowly closed his eyes.

Lin Weiya, Tian Mi, you wait, today's shame, he will definitely pay back twice as much!

The hand raised high fell heavily.

"Squeak, squeak-" sound, thick and low, like a cracking sound from the void, piercing like a warning sound, and those who heard it were in awe.

Under the towering city walls, in the flying dust, a beam of light cut through the space and projected in, and it became wider and brighter.

In the bright, dazzling light, it was white at first, but suddenly, a group of people gathered, and they frantically attacked the defense line built by the city guards, and the demons danced wildly, like the ghosts of hell.

The people in the city looked at this scene in horror, and their eyes in disbelief all turned to Lu Dongyang, who was the leader.

What the hell is going on?

In the gradually clear vision, there is a group of ragged and withered people, they are not some hellish ghosts, just a group of ordinary people who have seen the dawn.

I can't count how many days and nights have passed, there are no healers, no medicines, no rice, no hope.

Now, I finally saw the hope of life, and I stretched out my hand in that direction.

"My lord, Lord Lu, please, help us, save us."

"My lord, please save us, don't abandon us."

"Please, sir......"

Lu Dongyang's eagle eyes looked at the people struggling outside the guard line like this, watching them pleading bitterly, and watching them burst into tears.

But he's already hard-hearted, and he's still too busy to take care of himself, where can he care about others?

Don't blame him, if you want to blame those two people, if they don't press forward step by step, where can he be so cold? At least, he will reward two steamed buns for them to grab.

In their earnest prayers, he spared Chrysostom, but said to the guards: "Hold the line, and do not let them rush in, lest they bring harm to others." ”

so as not to harm others.

That's it?

Tian Mi, who had been opening her clear eyes and looking at the scene in front of her in a daze, slowly rolled her eyes and looked at Lu Dongyang.

How many human lives are this, living human lives, for the safety of the majority of the people, can they be sacrificed for life?

Do nothing and watch them die.

She couldn't.

If you can't see it, it's just that, but if you see it, how can you treat it as if you haven't seen it?

Something had to be done, even if it was in vain, than just waiting for death.

Don't ask for success, but ask for a clear conscience.

Lu Dongyang sensitively felt the girl's strange gaze, and he subconsciously became vigilant in his heart, no.

His feeling was not wrong, but he saw that the girl raised her head, her big and empty eyes locked on him, and she said abruptly: "My lord said that the epidemic is an emergency and is not within the budget of the imperial court, so there is no money for treatment. The little girl dared to ask, since it was a sudden, did the adults report to Kyoto in time and ask for support from the imperial court? The little girl believed that if she knew that her people were living in such a dire situation, she would have taken pity on them and tried her best to save them. ”

reported to Kyoto, Lu Dongyang's face changed again, something like this happened in his jurisdiction, doesn't it mean that he is not properly governed and incapacitated? Reporting this kind of thing is actually tantamount to pleading guilty.

Besides, His Majesty is thirsty for money now, and he is trying his best to gather money, how can he be willing to take it out? The so-called food of the king, bear the worries of the king. It was already a disadvantage for him to help His Majesty collect money, and now if he reached out and asked him for money, what should he think of him? No, he must not let His Majesty worry.

Yes, he didn't report to the court at all, and he just thought about being able to hide from the world.

He thought that everything would be fine if he quietly removed the infected person, but he didn't think that things were much stricter than he imagined, and he had deviated far from his predetermined track, and it was out of control.

He didn't expect it to be like this, he really didn't expect it.

Thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart, Lu Dongyang's face was silent, and he said lightly: "Qingzhou is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and once you come and go, it will take a few months, and it will be more than half a month, which is really beyond the reach of the whip." ”

I thought that the girl would be in a rut like this, but she didn't think about it, but she nodded neatly and said, "Okay, since far water can't quench the thirst of the near, we don't need to sit and die." The so-called special circumstances and special handling will be outside, and the military orders will do something and not do something. ”

After that, she looked at him with clear eyes, and in his vigilant expression, she said precisely: "Then please postpone the things that are not urgent, concentrate manpower and material resources, and deal with the urgent things in front of you." ”

"Are you ordering this officer?!" Lu Dongyang finally couldn't help it, he even forgot to pretend to be weak, and looked at the invaders fiercely like a beast whose territory had been invaded.

Fu Yi was furious, even if he couldn't ambush millions of corpses, tens of thousands, but he could do it.

I saw that his chest was bulging, and he looked down at the girl overwhelmingly, and the girl, who was short in stature, kept her head high and did not retreat.

In an instant, the arrows and crossbows were drawn, and there was silence inside and outside the city gate.

Miss Tian, this is also ......

Everyone hesitated, wanting to open their mouths to persuade, but their mouths moved, but they all set their eyes on Lin Weiya.

But what surprised them even more was that Lin Dangjia did move, but instead of putting out the fire, he added fuel to the fire.

"I think Miss Tian is right, there are priorities, and now human life is at stake, and nothing can be compared with it, and it can be pushed back. I believe that if His Majesty knows, he will also understand the love of the people. He took a step back, arched his hand, looked at Lu Dongyang with a pair of clear eyes, and said heavily: "Lord Wanwang Mingjian." ”

Under Lu Dongyang's deliberate coercion, the two of them did not retreat, looking at the tough posture of the two, Lu Dongyang was completely angry.

Think he really can't help them? Even if you have thousands of acres of property, you can't afford a decree after all.

Lu Dongyang's eyes narrowed, his teeth gritted, and he said heavily: "Now, is it your turn to teach the official how to do it?" ”

With that, he raised his eyes in anticipation, and his chest rose and fell violently, obviously about to have a seizure.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but clench their fingers, glanced at each other worriedly, and was secretly anxious.

The Hetian girl of the Lin family is also too afraid of power, this is going to cause trouble, but what should I do?! (To be continued......)
