The heavy snow has been falling all day, and there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger, Lin Zheyuan is worried, there is no other reason, they can't come forward, they can only stay in the inn, Jiang Qingyue and Zhou Rui'an are fighting with each other at every turn, he is a peacemaker in the middle of the round, it can be said that he is exhausted.

Lin Zheyuan has never done such a thing, and after a whole day, it can be said that he is physically and mentally exhausted.

There was a temporary truce in the evening, Lin Zheyuan volunteered to go out to order food, and after a while, Lin Zheyuan came back with a solemn face.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help asking, "Senior brother, what's wrong?" ”

"In the middle of the night last night, there was an avalanche outside the city, both villages were buried, and the official roads were blocked, and now there is a commotion in the city!" Lin Zheyuan said in a deep voice.

Jiang Qingyue and Zhou Ruian's faces changed.

Zhou Ruian said: "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

A few people walked out of the room, the door of the inn had been closed by the shopkeeper, and a lot of tables and chairs were used against the door, which was worried that there would be victims outside.

Lin Zheyuan inquired with the shopkeeper about the situation outside and found that the situation was not optimistic.

"The city gate was sealed, but the workers in the shops in the city were all villagers from the affected villages, and the whole family was in their hometown, and when they heard that there was an avalanche, they all ran to the county government to make a fuss, forcing the government to save people."

Jiang Qingyue's brows sank: "What?" Something so big happened, didn't the government even go to save people? If things get bigger, won't the county order worry about going up to the peak and lowering the crime? ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at her and didn't speak.

Lin Zheyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Qingyue, you are too naïve, the so-called official words, the following situation, how to say what the officials say, how many people died, and not the number written in the county order?" Don't look at the joy of the victims now, as long as a few leaders are caught and the monkeys are killed, everyone else will be honest. ”

"How arrogant are they? With so many people dead, can they also calm things down? Jiang Qingyue was shocked.

Lin Zheyuan sighed, although Jiang Qingyue is smart and smart, but in the end, he still has too little experience in the rivers and lakes, and situations like this are commonplace, but she was shocked, and she didn't know what she did before, how could she be so ignorant of officialdom.

"The so-called people don't sue the officials, what can they do?" Lin Zheyuan glanced at Zhou Rui'an: "They are all ordinary people, who can stand up for them?" When the sedan chair is stopped on the street to sue the royal complaint, it is all drama, and the people sue the official, first they have to be subjected to 30 boards, even if they can stand through, people will not have half a life, who dares to sue? ”

According to the person who set this rule, if you can't even get through the 30 boards, it can be seen that there is no grievance, if the civilians can go to the official casually, the official does not have to do anything else every day, just waiting to be the defendant.

After Jiang Qingyue listened, her face turned pale, she was born in the market, and she was also very smart, but she had never experienced anything in the officialdom, and now seeing this situation, she couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in her heart.

"Could it be that we just look at it like this?" Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but ask.

Lin Zheyuan fell silent.

Jiang Qingyue walked out with a spear: "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Zhou Rui'an and Lin Zheyuan also followed, the situation outside was even worse than they imagined, many villagers in the affected villages in the city almost surrounded the county government, there were more than 40 people outside, but the county order still avoided it, and there was no intention of showing up at all, but there were many officials outside to maintain order.

But the villagers were emotional, and if it weren't for the fact that they were still a little jealous of the government, it is estimated that they would have broken in.

"Why don't you go out and save people?"

"Where's Lord Li! He is a parent official, why don't you go out to help the disaster? ”

"What's the noise? What's the noise? The snow outside is heavy and the mountains are closed, and you can't even walk the road, save people? How to save? In the event of another avalanche, the lives of the villagers are fate, and ours is not fate? The head catcher who led the interception said.

"Are you talking about human words?!" A villager shouted angrily.

"I'm telling the truth! How many people are there in the yamen? You go and see the snow outside, is that what we can save? After the head catcher finished speaking, he sighed: "I want to say, this is fate, the heavy snow that has not been encountered for decades, just let us catch up, and we can't accept fate." ”

"No! Go out and save people! My son...... My son is only a year old, he is only a year old......" said a man with an anxious face.

"A year old? I guess I won't be able to survive, so don't think about it! The head catcher said with a sympathetic face.

The man was furious and grabbed the collar of the head catcher: "You are still not human, go and save my son!" ”

The head catcher's brows sank, and he kicked the man to the ground with one kick, his face sank, and his whole body exuded a sense of anger: "This person gathered a crowd in front of the yamen to make trouble, and was arrested according to the law!" Catch him in there! ”

This is also to make an example of a hundred people, originally thinking of catching a person and rubbing the sharp spirit of these villagers, which has been done in the past.

The two catchers lifted the man up one left and one right, and just about to take the person away, Jiang Qingyue suddenly grabbed a fast catcher's hand, and with a slight force, the catcher let go.

"Bold! Who are you?! The head catcher said angrily.

Jiang Qingyue looked at him coldly: "There is no one in the yamen to save people, but it is very good at arresting people!" ”

Jiang Qingyue's mouth, that is the person who can make Zhou Gongzi half angry, the head catcher was choked by her, and he was even more angry, but just now Jiang Qingyue showed his hand, at first glance, he was not an ordinary person, and the head catcher did not want to conflict with her.

Jiang Qingyue looked at the man: "It's better to ask for others than for yourself, the yamen refuses to save others, we save ourselves!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was awakened, and they were all their relatives, and it was better to go by themselves than to beg the yamen.

Without saying a word, the villagers turned around and walked directly out of the city.
