Chapter 398: Opening the Warehouse and Releasing Grain
"I see that you have plenty of light and no shortage of water, and that the crops should be easy to grow, so why is there no food to eat?" Tao Kite asked a little strangely.
When she first arrived at this place, she felt that the sunshine here was very good, which was very suitable for the growth of crops, and she always thought that the people here were rich, but it was indeed strange to see these people so short of food and clothing.
"We are a woman's family, where do we dare to talk about this?" The girl's mother was a little embarrassed, for fear that this would cause some trouble, and after knowing that Fu Yinxiao's identity was not simple, she didn't dare to speak as mean as before.
"You don't have to worry, this official is a minister appointed by the emperor, what is the suffering, even if you say it, this is also the duty of this official." Fu Yinxiao saw the trembling appearance of the girl's mother, and also expressed understanding, after all, it was normal to be afraid after being oppressed by corrupt officials for so long.
But the more this happened, the more Fu Yinxiao wanted to know what happened to make the mother and son so jealous.
Hearing this, the girl's mother realized that Fu Yinxiao's identity was so powerful, and finally let go of the timidity in her heart, and the previous meanness was gone.
She seemed to hold back for a long time, and poured out the bitter water at once: "Our local official is a corrupt official, since he took office, he has wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment, ordinary people like us, where dare to resist, life is naturally miserable, and even worse, because of this, he was directly killed." ”
Speaking of this, the girl's mother became excited, and suddenly knelt on the ground, completely without the domineering attitude she had last time, and kowtowed to Fu Yinxiao: "Master Qingtian, save us!" How can we live on such a day! We can hide from this time, but when you leave, how will we live as mother and daughter? ”
Fu Yinxiao and Tao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help the girl's mother, they came here, knowing this problem, they naturally would not let it go.
"Sister, hurry up, it is our duty to eradicate corrupt officials, you don't need this." Tao Yuan looked at the tearful girl's mother, and couldn't help but feel sympathy, in this era, it is really difficult for ordinary people who are oppressed by officials to have a way to live.
"In addition to looting the people's fat and people's ointment, will the robbery of the people's women happen often?" Fu Yinxiao remembered that the officers and soldiers he had encountered before robbed the people's daughters, he didn't know if this was an accident or a regular occurrence, and thought that since it was to be solved, he would simply gather all the evidence of the crime together and solve it together.
"Yes!" I only heard the girl say categorically, there are indeed frequent incidents of officers and soldiers robbing people's daughters in their place, and because of the protection of the officials, the victim's family does not dare to take any action at all, even if it makes trouble, not only will there be no result, but they will even be punished.
"These officers and soldiers don't do anything serious on weekdays, and the most common thing they do is to rob people's girls, saying that they are to add to the fun of sex, and they completely ignore the reputation of other people's girls." The girl's mother spoke, and the hatred in her tone was obvious, after all, her daughter had almost been murdered before.
Hearing this place, Fu Yinxiao and Tao Yuan both felt uncomfortable, there was such a reasonable place at the feet of the Son of Heaven and nowhere to talk about, but now the top priority is to open a warehouse and release grain.
Now that the granary has not been opened, the people's own grain has also been exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and countless people have starved to death.
"Someone!" Fu Yinxiao immediately summoned his subordinates and instructed them: "Tell me to go down, immediately open a warehouse and release grain, and relieve the people!" ”
"Yes!" The men under him received the order and immediately turned around and went to do it.
The girl and her mother naturally heard Fu Yinxiao's command, but the strange thing was that the girl's mother was not happy because of this, but cried bitterly.
"What's wrong? Now that the order has been given to open the warehouse and release the grain, you will soon be able to rise to the grain. Tao Kite thought she was worried about the food, so she comforted her.
The girl's mother shook her head and wept bitterly and said, "I'm not here for food, but now our mother and daughter have nowhere to go, and even if we get food, we have no fixed place to live, and sooner or later we will die outside." ”
After saying that, the girl's mother began to cry again, and the girl couldn't help but cry tears in the corners of her eyes when she heard her mother crying so sadly.
Tao Yuan originally pitied their plight, but at this time, she couldn't help but sympathize, without the slightest hesitation, and directly promised: "If there is no place to go, then I will take you in, and I will arrange a place for you." ”
As soon as Tao Kite's words fell, the mother and daughter in front of her had already knelt down and kowtowed to Tao Kite: "Thank you for your repeated rescue, our mother and daughter will repay you as cattle and horses in this life and the next life." ”
"I don't have to repay it, I just want to feel at ease." Tao Yuan opened her mouth unconcernedly, she didn't help these people for the sake of their mouths.
When it was time to open the grain warehouse, for some reason, the masses were a little hesitant, Fu Yinxiao and Tao Yuan glanced at each other, and they both didn't understand the situation.
"Go see what's going on?" Fu Yinxiao commanded behind him.
The person behind him received the order and was about to go, when he heard a voice from the crowd: "It is said that if you eat food, you will be slaughtered by the Qincha, so let's not go." ”
Fu Yinxiao listened to what this person said, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, I don't know who spread such a folk rumor, it is complete nonsense, if he eats grain, he will be slaughtered, then why does he have to open a warehouse to release grain? Wouldn't it be easier to kill it directly?
"You don't have to think about it, this official is the emperor's hand-appointed messenger, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, no one will kill you, and the suffering you suffered before will end soon." Fu Yinxiao stood up, laughed first, and then explained to everyone.
Although these people knew that Fu Yinxiao and Tao Yuan didn't look like ordinary people, they didn't expect that Fu Yinxiao was the minister of the Qincha, and there were discussions on the scene, thinking that Fu Yinxiao didn't look like a bad person, but because of the rumors, they didn't know whether to believe Fu Yinxiao's words for a while.
"Rest assured, if I really want to slaughter you, why should I open a warehouse and release grain? Wouldn't it be more convenient to get your hands on it? Seeing that everyone still didn't want to believe him, Fu Yinxiao had to explain again to show that he had no malicious intentions, but just wanted to help them.
