Chapter 413: The Officials Forced the People to Rebel

The accused officials didn't like to hear this: "This matter was originally led by Lord Tang, and it was Lord Tang who said that the emperor was in a hurry to ask for food, so that the people should hand over all the food in their hands, and also donate the iron pot and pot at home, as well as all the cloth, cotton clothes and quilts." ”

Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the lack of food is already miserable enough, and then take away the pot and cotton and so on, which clearly does not let the people live, what is it to wait for no rebellion!

Hearing this news, Mo Huaiyu was also stunned, how could he not know that he had given such an order.

"It's very likely that someone is behind this matter, let's go and see if we can find clues on him first, and then go to the people to ask.

You will hurry up and ask the cities to post notices tomorrow morning, Daqi has never asked the people to hand over all the grain, let alone iron pots and quilts, and the court has never issued such an order. Ji Nuan was also anxious, and secretly scolded in his heart, and he didn't know who was so lacking in virtue and actually smeared Mo Huaiyu behind his back.

Lord Tang was now placed behind the yamen, lying lifeless on the bed, Ji Nuan could see that there was a black gas between his eyebrows, and there were several ghosts and resentful spirits around him.

"This must have something to do with Shen Wang!" Ji Nuan hated that he couldn't strangle Shen Wang to death right now.

"It was he who used these resentful spirits and ghosts to control Lord Tang and make him do these things, right?" Mo Huaiyu asked the goddess.

"In the final analysis, he is greedy in his heart, and he doesn't care about the lives of the people, otherwise he won't be used by the people of Youlan Villa." The goddess sighed.

Mo Huaiyu stretched out his right hand, and the golden vine branches at his wrist stretched out, scattering the ghosts and resentful spirits around Lord Tang in a few clicks, and the branches were shortened back to Mo Huaiyu's wrist.

After Lord Tang woke up, he ran out to ask his subordinates, those people who participated in the riot have been arrested, and they must deal with this matter before the emperor knows about it.

Those who discussed things didn't expect Lord Tang, who had been in a coma for several days, to suddenly wake up, because he was the prefect of Streamer City, and everything couldn't get around him. The officials below considered it for a while and told him that nearly 10,000 people had been killed and injured in the riot so far, and that this matter could not be hidden, even if they did not make a decision, Lord Mu would inform the emperor.

Lord Tang didn't expect the matter to reach such a serious point, he asked the merchants to go back, find his subordinates and let them hire killers, and deal with his sworn enemy Lord Mu tonight.

This person not only mutilated the people, but also killed his colleagues, and there was no way to save it.

Mo Huaiyu wrote a lot of notices in the space, stating that the imperial court has not raised taxes in the past two years, and some taxes will be reduced or exempted after reporting and verifying in the affected places, and the imperial court and the emperor have never let the local government requisition the iron pots and cotton clothes of the people.

If such an order is issued in any place, the local officials make their own decisions, and the local residents have the right to write a letter to report, and they can directly go to the capital to complain or entrust the governor of the nearby city to make a complaint.

The emperor's seal was also placed on it, and after half a night's effort, these notices were posted on the walls of the yamen of several nearby cities, the most prosperous areas, and the homes of local officials.

They spent another half night checking the current situation of the people in Streamer City, not to mention the grain in the nearby villages, and the bark on the mountains was all cleaned.

"Tomorrow, I will find the village chief to count the number of people and release grain, and I will go to other cities to buy miscellaneous grains, and the family will give a few catties of japonica rice." Seeing those bare trees, Ji Nuan didn't feel a good feeling.

She changed into men's clothes and went to several nearby cities to knock on the door of the grain store, wanting to buy brown rice and mixed noodles, but now in the middle of the night, the attitude of those grain stacks that were knocked open was not very good, and some even scolded and scolded, Ji Nuan didn't care about these, and bought all the brown rice and mixed noodles inside.

Some grain stacks sat on the ground and raised prices, Ji Nuan and Mo Huaiyu wrote down their names, and waited for the things in Streamer City to settle down and then settle accounts with them.

When passing by a city, Ji Nuan saw the plaque of the Nanchu Warehouse, and asked the sixth brother to take his father to buy grain, she went over to knock on the door of the Nanchu Warehouse, and Mo Huaiyu followed behind her.

The attitude of the people in Nanchu Warehouse was much better, Ji Nuan took out the token that Nangong Linyou gave her, Mo Huaiyu frowned and stared at the token in the hand of the little wife, and had to think of taking the token away after going back, although Nangong Linyou didn't have that kind of mind now, Mo Huaiyu still didn't want Ji Nuan to keep the things that he was once a love enemy.

"Are you the Ji family?" The man at the warehouse asked.

"I am the Ji family and a friend of Nangong Linyou."

The shopkeeper of the warehouse brought Ji Nuan and Mo Huaiyu in, Ji Nuan still had a lot of things to do, she took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels from her sleeve: "I urgently need brown rice and miscellaneous grains now, if you can buy trouble and help me send it to Streamer City in the fastest time, I will live in Yuelai Inn, you go and say that you are looking for the surname Ji, they will receive you." ”

The shopkeeper promised to do it immediately, he knew the shopkeeper of the grain store in the city, and it should be no problem to gather 20,000 catties of grain.

By dawn, Ji Nuan and the others returned to Streamer City with more than 50,000 catties of food that they had temporarily scraped together.

After a hurried meal in the space, the group was divided into four groups Ji Lianyou with Xue'er and two hundred pomegranate seeds, Ji Ruinian with Xiaoque and two hundred pomegranate seeds, Ji Nuan with three hundred pomegranate seeds, Mo Huaiyu also took all the people to the village to distribute food, and Meng Yi was waiting for the people from the Nanchu Warehouse in the inn.

When they heard that some people had come to deliver grain, the people rushed up, and some of them had been hungry for several days, so they called the village chief of each village and brought the household registration book to distribute the grain according to 20 catties of brown rice per household, 20 catties of mixed noodles and 3 catties of japonica rice.

At first, some people couldn't believe that this was true, but when they saw someone carrying bags down from the carriage, and then looked at the grains and brown rice in the open bags, the people were boiling, and they were even happier than the New Year.

The village chief hurriedly asked the villagers to line up, what kind of chaos became, if it annoyed the great benefactor who released the grain, what should I do if the people don't distribute the food?

Halfway through the distribution of grain, someone from the yamen came, and the official asked Ji Nuan who asked her to put grain here.

"The government doesn't care about the people, isn't it allowed for others to take care of it?"

"Who said that the government doesn't care about the people!"

"Oh, then what do you do, let's hear it!" Ji Nuan was not annoyed, she asked the pomegranate seed child to continue to put grain, and walked to the opposite side of the official messenger to ask.

"The government is about to force us to death, not to mention the grain, and let us hand over the pots and cotton clothes and quilts at home, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, isn't this trying to force us to death?"

"Even if the emperor comes today, we also want to ask in person, Daqi can't do it if he doesn't accept the people's pots and quilts, isn't it, my mother's health is not good, there is no food at home, there is no quilt, she was frozen to death and starved to death, what kind of world is this!"
