"I went around the city, there was no one on the road at all, I knocked on the door and asked a few, there was no surplus food in each household, it was cold and snowy, I couldn't dig two wild vegetables if I wanted to, and I couldn't hold it for two days, there were many such situations, and the people in the city were basically in this situation now."

Sheng Mingyi used hot water to clean the mud spots on his body, sighed, and was a little helpless.

According to this situation, within a few days, there should be a big mess in the city.

I heard that there were people who made trouble before, but if they were forcibly suppressed, the disaster would not be eliminated for a day, and the food for disaster relief would not be available for a day, and sooner or later there would be chaos.

With this little force in the county government, it can't be suppressed, Sheng Mingyi shook his head.

Sheng Mingzhu's expression also became solemn, the city was in chaos, no one could run, the spark could start a prairie fire, if someone took this excuse to gather the victims from all over the country to make trouble, civil strife together, the imperial court would definitely send troops to suppress it, and there would be countless casualties at that time, and the unlucky ones would be poor innocent people.

In his previous life, the King of Chu had meritorious service in disaster relief, but now, can he still follow the trajectory of his previous life?

Sheng Mingzhu was not sure.

"Where is King Chu now?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now in Guizhou Mansion, Longan County borders Guizhou Mansion, and the disaster situation over there is far more serious than here, and it is estimated that it will not be able to pass for a while and a half.

"Are there rich people in the city?"

"Why do you want them to donate food?" Sheng Mingyi listened to the voice and knew what Sheng Mingzhu had in mind, the treasury was empty that day, there was no money to repair the temple, after crowdfunding from top to bottom, not only did he have the money to repair the temple, but there was also a surplus in the treasury, and there was not much surplus grain in the granary of the county government.

It's just that I don't know how feasible it is.

Sheng Mingyi doesn't know the customs here, and the relationship between the various families is involved, so this matter still has to be discussed and implemented by the prefect and the county order.

came back and had breakfast, the sun was getting higher, and Sheng Mingyi took people out again, but this time it was for Meng Zhaoyue's business, and Sheng Mingzhu followed him.

According to the guards who came back, their convoy should have encountered robbers on the official road outside Long An County.

The situation in Longan County, they all see it in their eyes, the poor and the bad water out of the people, even if it was not before, now that they are forced to do such a job, maybe someone will take the risk and make a road block and robbery.

Several people searched the surrounding area of the nearby official road, but did not find any clues, and several nearby mountains where people could hide were also searched, but they still found nothing.

It has been more than half a month since the incident, and even if the robbers destroy the corpses, it will be enough time.

After carefully exploring the official road for dozens of miles along the way, Sheng Mingyi followed the footsteps of pedestrians on the road, pointed to the village not far from the official road, and said, "Go to the village and ask." ”

If there are bandits in the vicinity, the villagers who live here should know best.

Besides, something so big shouldn't there be no movement at all.

The road into the village was rugged and difficult, the frozen soil slowly warmed up and melted, and it was muddy all the way.

Sheng Mingzhu followed behind, and there was nothing good, but fortunately, the road was not counted, and it would take a while.

The village was very quiet, and when the head of the village saw that there was no one at the end of the village, Sheng Mingyi led someone to knock on the door of the front household.

The door was opened by a middle-aged strong man, with a dark face, a thin man, and a wary eye.

"Who are you looking for?"
