Chapter 174: The Tragic Situation in the Slums

"What's wrong with him, how do I know?" Ling Luo frowned and said leisurely, and the action of banging on the window lattice did not stop.

"The regent is above 10,000 people under one person, and his status is extremely noble, such a perfect man, he only holds the young lady in the palm of his hand, the young lady is really blessed." Xuanzhu said.

Although she thinks that the king of war and the young lady are more compatible, but the king of war and the young lady have dissolved the marriage contract, which has become a thing of the past.

Ling Luo listened to her words, shook his hand, looked back at her and said, "Who is rare with this blessing, don't say this again in the future." ”

"Miss, the slave is too talkative." When Xuanzhu heard this, he lowered his head and said.

The young lady's expression was a little terrifying, which she had never seen before, and she knew that she had said the wrong thing and did not say anything more. I originally thought that the young lady liked the regent, but I didn't expect her to react like this. It seems that she still can't forget the battle king. In that case, why break the marriage contract again?

After lunch, Xuanzhu walked in, his expression was a little sad, and he stopped talking when he saw Ling Luo.

"What's wrong?" Ling Luo put down the book in his hand and looked up and asked.

"Miss, I just heard from the housekeeper that dozens of people died in the slum in the west of the city last night, and all of them were frozen to death, which is really tragic."

"How could such a thing happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" On Chinese New Year's Eve, Kyoto was lit up with lights and firecrackers, and who would have thought that there would be people in that corner who went to the Yama Hall because they were not well fed and clothed.

After all, Great Xia is also a golden appearance, and it is defeated. The blockade that supported the entire Great Xia had been hollowed out by a hundred years of moths, and the entire Daxiang Dynasty was already in a crumbling state, and as long as it was gently pushed, it collapsed and ceased to exist.

In a luxurious city like Kyoto, such a thing happens, so far away from Kyoto, I don't know how many people starved to death and froze to death.

And these royal relatives and nobles sang every night, dressed in fine clothes and food, and had a group of slaves, which is the reason why Great Xia is about to perish.

"Miss, this matter is only the tip of the iceberg, if Miss sets foot in the slums, you will know how miserable it is, those people are all living in water and fire, they do not even have the most basic ability to make a living, there are not a few people who are starved to death and frozen to death. In addition, they have to watch the fruits of their labor being robbed by that group of bandits. "Now the scenery of Great Xia is only on the surface, in fact, I don't know how many people have been starved to death in secret.

Many people in order to make a living are down the mountain for Kou Zhanshan to be the king, every year when the autumn harvest comes, they go down the mountain to grab food, if they meet those who dare to resist, they will directly end their lives with a knife. People in the slums are not because they are lazy, but because they have no ability to resist at all.

"Bandits? Are you saying that there are bandits in Kyoto? Ling Luo didn't dare to ask confidently.

"Well, they're on a hill fifty miles west of Kyoto. Every autumn harvest, they go down the mountain to grab food, which is the root cause of starvation and freezing death in the slums. ”

"If it's so arrogant, doesn't the government care? After all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Doesn't the emperor know? ”

"That group of bandits are all strong in martial arts, and the officers and soldiers are not opponents at all, and after fighting like this a few times, the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and then they no longer care about this matter, and they will rob them every autumn harvest. The bandits will not rob all the grain, the rest of the grain will be handed over to the public grain, and the official uniform will turn a blind eye to the grain, but the hard-working people have no food and clothing. ”

Xuanzhu was very angry every time she talked about it, she had experienced being robbed by bandits before, and at that time, every year when it was dark for the autumn harvest, she watched the bandits rob the golden grain. Later, in order to support the family, her parents sold her into the Ling Mansion.

From now on, she no longer has to live that kind of frightened life, she eats and drinks well in the Ling Mansion. And her parents were beaten to death during a fight with bandits for food. Even the bandits she hated very much, but there was nothing she could do, and she didn't have the strength to avenge her parents.

"Humph! It's time to get rid of this group of moths. Ling Luo's eyes sank, and he said coldly.

When Xuanzhu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he knew that he could finally take revenge this time.

For a few days, Ling Luo stayed in Luoyanju and didn't see anyone. In order to tie up Lingluo, the famous families in Kyoto all visited Lingluo on the grounds of New Year's greetings, but Lingluo was not seen.

"Miss, some young ladies from the minister's family have come with gifts today. They left behind the precious jewels and left, which I exchanged for broken silver and grain, and put them in the warehouse in the west of the city to wait for the young lady to give alms. ”

"Well, got it. Choose a few decent young ladies from the family, and tomorrow I will have a banquet in Deyue Tower. Ling Luo's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly.

"Got it, miss, I'll do it." Xuanzhu answered, and then left.

Xuanzhu is also capable, and after a short time, he selected a few well-known ladies of the family and sent the invitations out. At sunset, Bian Du received a reply.

The next day, Ling Luo prepared a banquet in the Tianzi private room of Deyue Building, and invited all the ladies of the family, who had the right to speak in the Miss Kyoto circle.

"I've seen Miss Ling!" Ling Luo is now a goddess, and everyone is naturally groveling and admires her very much. I was naturally very happy to get his invitation. It's time to show off in their circle.

Nowadays, the entire Miss Circle in Kyoto is talking about the proximity to Ling Luo. After all, in addition to being a goddess, she is also close to the regent, and she also enters the court to listen to politics and participate in national affairs.

"Sit down, and invite a few of you here for the sake of what is happening in the slums west of the city. It is believed that dozens of people froze to death in the slums on Chinese New Year's Eve. Everyone should have heard of it, and I was shocked that there was such a place at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Ling Luo paused at this point, glanced around, and finally continued.

"You are all famous ladies in Kyoto, and you have a heart of compassion, I heard that a few days ago you sent your money to my place, hoping to hold a charity in the slums west of the city, I think this matter is very meaningful, so I exchanged the treasures of silver and jewelry for grain and broken silver, and planned to jointly hold a charity meeting."
