Chapter 100: Arriving in Zhounan County
The county government of Zhounan County, said to be the county government, looks like a rough picture of the scale of the county government. That is, the wall is falling off badly, and even the roof tiles of the courtyard wall are not neat, which looks a little unpresentable.
There is no official at the door, this is understandable for the time being, Feng Shugen himself led the team to intercept the people at the pass, not to mention that now is an urgent period, I believe that there are no more than five officials who are still in the county office.
It was only when the group of them walked in that they found out that this was a county office, and this was a refugee camp. Not just refugee camps, but camps that only take in the dying.
The gate of the county government was open, and when you walked to the door, you could hear a suppressed moan from inside.
Stepping in, the left and right sides of the eye are all lying on the straw mat, except for the middle of the road that can be passed by two people, the entire outer courtyard is almost full of haystacks, and the haystacks are all men, some old and some young, but none of them are not dead and gray, and some of them close their eyes tightly, and they can't see dead or alive at all. Up to the ceremonial gate opposite the main entrance, which is the second gate of the county office.
They passed in front of these people, and like the people in the street, they could not attract their attention at all. Not to mention paying attention, this time it's better, and there is no one who even gives them a look.
The ceremonial door is a large wall shadow in the middle, and people enter from the left and right sides. On the left side is for people with status, and on the right side is for the people.
When a group of people entered from the left side of the ceremonial gate, they saw that in the large open space leading to the university, in addition to the stone paved walkway in the middle, the left and right sides were also densely packed with people, but here they were all women and children.
First, it must be because there are all women and children here, and secondly, there are people who can stand here, and someone finally notices them.
A little girl in a gray jacket was feeding water to an old man lying down, and when she heard the voice, she turned her head, and when she saw a group of men coming in, she immediately put down the bowl and rushed over, stopping them with both hands.
"Who are you? Who allowed you in? The men are not allowed to enter, and don't you see the sign at the door? "The little girl is quite fierce, and her big round eyes are whiter than her pupils.
"Presumptuous." Ming Liuda drank, there are two princes here, she is a folk girl, she dares to have such an attitude.
King Jing glared at him with displeasure, and played prestige at the common people, what kind of ability is it?
Ming Liu immediately lowered his head and took a step back, and he immediately understood that he was wrong. It's just an instinctive reaction, he is a subordinate, and naturally he doesn't want his master to be mistreated.
But I forgot what the master was doing this time!
King Jing glanced at the midnight beside him, and when he saw that he looked like an outsider, he understood that the nineteenth brother was leaving this matter to him.
"Benγγγγγγ We are here to find Yang County Order, I wonder if he is here? β
The little girl just saw them rushing over on the spur of the moment, and was drunk by the guard, and then paid attention to the dress and pomp of these people, she also guessed that these people must have a lot of background, maybe some kind of official or something.
Putting down the hand that stopped them, he made a standard Wanfu Chang salute to the two who were obviously masters standing in front [pressing the left hand with the right hand, pressing the left hand on the left hip bone, bending the knees with both legs together, and bowing his head slightly]: "My father has been to Zhounan County for four days and has not returned, if you gentlemen come to look for your father, please come back another day." β
As soon as they saw her salute, everyone knew that she was not an ordinary folk girl, and when they heard her words, everyone's eyes at her changed, and their faces flashed with admiration. It's really what she was wearing, and what she did just now, how could it not be associated with the daughter of a county magistrate.
The most shocking thing is King Jing, in his heart, the official lady is just waiting for marriage all day long who only knows embroidery and music, and after getting married, she is jealous in the backyard and has no serious behavior.
"The daughter of the Yang County Order?" Midnight's gaze turned to the people who were already curious and wary looking at the people next to him, "The imperial court has sent earthquake silver down, why is this the scene here?" β
Midnight and King Jing's temperament, it is difficult for people not to put them in a high position.
As soon as she heard his question again, Miss Yang immediately raised hope in her heart, and replied with a wry smile: "This gentleman doesn't know, it has been half a year since the flood, and Zhounan County has not received a tael of silver from the imperial court, only about a month after the flood, there has been an earthquake disaster, and there are only three truckloads. β
According to the specifications of Yanxi's disaster grain truck, one car is fifty bags, one bag is 100 catties [now counted as 160 catties], and three trucks are 150 bags.
With only 1,500 catties of grain, how many victims are there in the entire county, and how can they have enough to eat?
Half?
Half!
King Jing was furious in his heart, and his face was naturally not good.
When a prince's aura comes out, how can these ordinary people who could only lie down and the official lady who was originally in the backyard bear it?
Miss Yang unconsciously stepped back, and her little face, which was originally a dish, turned white.
The more vigilant the people next to them became, and some of them had already begun to struggle and prepare.
In the middle of the night, Bai Yuxiao knocked on the back of King Jing's hand, and still said with a light smile on his face: "Don't panic. [Bai Yuxiao pointed at King Jing] This is the prince of Jing, who came to Quyang on order to seek well-being for the people. Even if this king passes by, he will not ignore the afflictions of you and others. β
King Jing?
This king?
Both of these are princes!!
Miss Yang immediately knelt down in panic, "The courtiers see the two princes." β
Now the eyes of the people looking at them are no longer the vigilance just now, but all of them are looking forward to and hoping for them.
Who really wants to die?
If they can live, who really wants to just lie down and wait for death?
"Get up, this king and the fifth brother are very thirsty all the way, can you ask for water? There can be people in the palace who can act, lead the way for the king's subordinates, and invite the Yang County Order back, and the king has something to ask him. β
"The courtiers' faults, the two princes are invited."
&
Sitting in the main hall, it is also the only place in the entire county government where there are no lying people, King Jing looked out of the hall with a heavy face, and the gray figure was still shuttling among the people.
Midnight took a sip of the innocence in his hand, "Why bother with the fifth brother?" Yang County Ling loves the people like a son, you should be glad for Yan Xi and such an honest official. β
"Nineteenth brother, before you came to Quyang, did you already guess that you would see these? The people are hungry, and their clothes are not covered in the cold. The court issued nearly 10 million taels of silver, and it all went into the mouths of those damn corrupt officials? β
glanced at the emotional King Jing, and asked rhetorically without any mood fluctuations in the middle of the night: "Corrupt officials? Which corrupt officials? Who are they? King Jing, as a second-class prince, actually made such slanderous words without any basis or evidence, can you know what the consequences will be if this word reaches the ears of hundreds of officials? β
