Jingzhou's farmland has been destroyed innumerable, and the wealthy families have stockpiled a large amount of grain, and under such conditions, prices will inevitably soar at a high speed.

Life is at stake, and we must use all means to protect ourselves. Officials first expounded evidence to represent themselves unfamiliar with the criminals, then wrote urgent documents to submit to the upline to complain about grievances, and then issued regional wanted warrants. The most important thing is to win over the local wealthy families and let them create public opinion and reverse black and white.

The wealthy clan is a group that values face, and the front-end time officials don't give themselves face like this, so this time they have to teach them a lesson. Money, jewelry, silk and satin, oaths and promises, the officials sent their wives and children out, and the wealthy nobles finally nodded and agreed to help.

The public opinion became more and more intense, and the officials naturally washed more and more white, and successfully led Jingzhou Mu's anger to the national capital and Xu Ziwei.

Xu Ziwei dared to do it, which means that he has a plan to retreat from the whole body, and directly spray Jingzhou Mu above the court. In addition to his own, there are several other adults in the hands of the criminals. Could it be that we teamed up to frame you, or do you think Xu is a bully and only dares to find me alone.

This kind of expression hopes that everyone will take care of the younger generation's handwriting, which has long been rotten on the street, and only fools or bribe-takers will vigorously support it without verifying it. So the problem is, the officials in Jingzhou are not stupid, that is to say, their hands and feet are not clean, and they are in the same league as the criminals, which causes Jingzhou to suffer greatly.

"You! You! Jingzhou Mu was speechless by Xu Ziwei.

"Ping Aiqing, why don't you make a sound?" Wang Mang, who had been watching the play in front, spoke.

Ping Yan is one of the four assistants of the new dynasty, and is in charge of the court's secrets. Wang Mang clearly remembers the emergency he encountered when dealing with Wang Sunqing a few days ago, and even remembers that it was he who persuaded him to go back to the palace to rest and hand over the matter of exterminating the thieves to the courtiers, which led to failure, and now he is in Jingzhou's case.

"The body is not afraid of the shadow, and Weichen does not need to quibble." Ping Yan opened his mouth to speak, but Wang Mang burst into laughter: "A good body is not afraid of shadows, can you tell Gu, why is there a figure of you in everything, should I believe you?" ”

"If you have a heart or not, how to prepare if you are not prepared. Weichen is worthy of the emperor and worthy of heaven and earth. ”

"A good one is worthy of the emperor and worthy of heaven and earth. Lonely thoughts, you follow me all my life and don't kill you, you tell the old man and return to his hometown. Wang Mang made a decision, and Ping Yan, as his old brother, knew his character well, so he didn't do any struggle for a long time, bent down and saluted: "The minister receives the order, and I can't share my worries for Your Majesty in the future, please take care of the dragon body." ”

When one of the four auxiliaries of the dynasty, it was abolished, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were afraid that they would be affected, but fortunately Wang Mang did not want to investigate to the end, but demoted all the people related to the case and returned to their hometowns.

Xu Ziwei met Liu Xiu on the way back to his hometown, Liu Xiu made a big gift and said sorry, but Xu Ziwei smiled and stated that it was okay, he had been sitting on pins and needles in the court for the past few years, and now he can finally rest, and this time he can pull Ping Yan off the horse without a loss, I just hope that Liu Xiu can seize this rare opportunity.

Liu Xiu thanked him again, claiming that he would never waste this rare opportunity, and when the time was ripe, he would definitely go to invite Master Xu and play for Dahan again.

"I'll wait for you!"

Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end. Liu Xiu is not a hypocritical person, after saying goodbye to Xu Ziwei, he looked at Xu and Qing Erzhou from afar to continue his expedition.

Jingzhou has changed its new person in charge, and the officials of the seven counties affected by the disaster have naturally fallen, saying that this new Jingzhou Mu was full of confidence at first and felt that he was simply able to clean up this mess, but when he really took care of it, he found that there was a powerful force in the dark that was disrupting his layout. The grain trucks for disaster relief and the soldiers carrying grain were robbed and killed until they hid in the corner like quails and shivered.

The food for disaster relief has not been delivered, and the wealthy families have acted against the law. The famine in Jingzhou is getting more and more serious, especially in Nanjun and Jiangxia counties, and the common people have dug wild water chestnuts in the wilderness to satisfy their hunger in order to survive.

What is water chestnut?

Wild water chestnut is called horseshoe in modern society, born with paddy fields, in the past, it was dug up as a weed to protect the harvest of the farmer, and now there is no green in the farmland, and only this kind of food buried in the land can be preserved. As for the well-known miraculous foods such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, these two brothers were only introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty.

Every family has long developed the habit of removing wild water chestnuts, which was suddenly affected by the disaster, the people looted, and the wild water chestnuts in the paddy fields soon bottomed out.

For food and survival, there are often fights between people.

On this day, a mother stubbornly guarded a few water chestnuts she found, and her child had not eaten for a day, which was her lifeline.

The child's cry resounded in the field, and the mother was thrown out and crawled back to the position of the water chestnut, crushing them under her body and not allowing others to dig them out.

"It's just a few wild water chestnuts, why do you big men bully other orphans and widows like this?"

"Yo! There are really people who are not afraid of death. Master, I won't bully her, but teach you a lesson. The person who spoke was obviously the leader of this group of ruffians, and his opponent was a pair of brothers, the eldest named Wang Kuang and the younger one called Wang Feng.

Just looking at their figures, these two brothers are not burly people, but their eyes are extremely sharp, perhaps because they have been hunting all year round.

Two against ten, Wang Kuang and Wang Feng directly treated each other as beasts, and made vicious moves so that the other party either broke their hands or legs, and after a while, a group of screaming people appeared on the ground.

"Brother, let's go! I'm so hungry, hurry up and get something to eat. Wang Feng didn't eat breakfast and started a fight, his stomach was hungry and gurgling, Wang Kuang watched the orphan and widow dig up the wild water chestnut and put it in his arms before leaving and shouted: "Let's go!" I know where to eat. ”

This voice shouted, not to mention many people who didn't find food, even orphans and widows who had just dug up a few wild water chestnuts hurriedly followed their footsteps.

The two brothers, Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, did not stop the people from following, because the place they were going to was either secret or dangerous, and few people dared to go there to find food.

There is a swamp in front of me, and it is indeed quite a dangerous point. Although there was food in this place, if you didn't pay attention, you lost your life, and many people did not dare to go there, so they sighed and turned to look for other food.
