"Great good man, do well, give us a bite to eat......"

"Have pity on us, great good man, we are so hungry."

“……”

One by one, scrawny people struggled to crawl towards Bai Luomei.

One on top of the other, with all fours, a pair of cloudy eyes, long lost their light.

Seeing these poor people, Bai Luomei couldn't help but burst into tears.

What is the situation in Tianyuan Mansion?

Why are there so many poor people?

These people have yellow faces and thin muscles, and there is no trace of fat on their bodies, all of them are like walking corpses, constantly wailing, as if purgatory on earth.

Bai Luomei, who is accustomed to seeing tragic situations, never thought that under the prosperous era of Kangxi, there would be so many poor people among the people.

Dozens of people are crammed into a dilapidated place, with only a grass hut on top to shelter from the wind and rain, and the surrounding walls are in disrepair, as if a rain and a gust of wind can destroy it.

Bai Luomei looked at those people and was stunned.

People say that Kangxi is prosperous, but this is a purgatory on earth!

"Get up, get up quickly......"

Bai Luomei's lips were trembling, "Where are you all from, why are you gathered here, isn't the yamen already distributing relief food, why don't you go and receive it?" ”

"Even if you go outside and find a place to cultivate crops, you can ......"

"Whoa! Girl, you speak lightly. ”

"Don't hide it, girl, we are all residents of this place, a few years ago, a heavy rain, washed us away, originally we were counting on the government, for the sake of our people, to give us some food, spare our taxes."

"But instead of exempting taxes, the government has increased them, making it even more difficult for us to survive."

"In January of this year, people from the government suddenly poured into us and robbed us of all the valuable things in our house, not even a grain of grain for us!"

"In order to survive, we can only go out at night to see if there are any leftovers thrown out of the big family, or go to the back of the restaurant to pick up some water, and barely maintain this life......"

When everyone heard Bai Luomei's inquiry, they poured bitter water on her.

At this moment, the surrounding people rushed in and blocked the door tightly.

Looking at the people who rushed over, Bai Luomei was sad.

"Why don't you go out of the city if there is no room for you here?" Bai Luomei looked around, and all she saw were helpless people.

Seeing this scene, Bai Luomei had mixed feelings in her heart.

If it weren't for the thief who stole her purse and chased after her, how could she have seen these scenes?

The men shook their heads helplessly and sighed.

"Did the girl see it? This is the imprint of the government on us, but whenever we want to leave the city, those officers and soldiers will check our hands, and once they see that we want to leave the city, they will either be arrested and put in prison, or beaten and sent back. ”

"Girl, when you came, didn't you see anyone guarding outside?"

As soon as everyone spoke, Bai Luomei was surprised again.

Who?

She ran all the way in, but she didn't see anyone guarding outside.

Bai Luomei's heart was sour, "How long has this happened?" ”

"From the years to the present."

"Girl, you have pity on us, give us something to eat, if this continues, winter is coming, we are afraid that we will not starve to death, but also freeze to death!"

"Look at my child, I'm so hungry......"

The people complained with a handful of snot and tears, which made Bai Luomei unbearable.

I saw Bai Luomei take out the remaining silver from her sleeve and was about to give it to them, but they waved their hands again and again.

"Girl, we don't need these silver tickets, we just want to have a bite to eat."

"We don't know where you came from, we can't care about a lot, if you can save our lives, we will treat you as a lifesaver!"

"Those rice shops and cloth shops have been discussed with the government, but if they find us to buy rice and cloth, they will all be arrested, even if we have silver, we will not be able to buy grain and cloth......

"Hey, don't say it, the government is thinking that we will starve to death and freeze to death, and if we are cleaned up, the government will be able to ask for merit and reward in front of the emperor!"

Deal with all the poor, and the rest are some rich people.

And this part of the people has money and power, and they can build Tianyuan Mansion into a city where everyone is rich.

His heart is damned!

When Bai Luomei thought of this, she couldn't help but complain wildly in her heart.

In this world, how can there be such a sinister and cunning person?

"Jing Mu, in the Tianyuan Mansion, has it really reached this point?"

Even if she saw it with her own eyes, Bai Luomei still couldn't believe it.

Tianyuan Mansion is only two hundred miles away from the capital, could it be that Emperor Kangxi didn't know anything about the situation here, and let Cai Yongzhen harm here for many years?

Jing Mu nodded silently, "According to the minions, originally there were 100,000 households in Tianyuan Mansion, and there were many people, but since Cai Yongzhen arrived, Tianyuan Mansion has been much deserted, but no one can explain why." ”

"There is a lot of speculation that some people have moved their families to other places, but no one dares to think about it......"

"Bai Gege, these are all caused by Cai Yongzhen, if he is allowed to be an official in Tianyuan Mansion again, I don't know what the Tianyuan Mansion will become in the future, and the people here will be destroyed by him!"

Every word, revealing sadness.

Bai Luomei sneered, "This is the so-called Kangxi Prosperous Age!" ”

The rich are so rich that they have no hope of survival.

Immediately afterwards, a thin man squeezed out of the crowd tremblingly, holding a purse in both hands, "Girl, this is yours, the villain was on the road just now, not intentionally stealing your belongings, but the villain smelled something wrong here, and saw Cai Yongzhen's dog thief meeting you, you scolded him." ”

"The villain thinks that you are a good person and can't bear to watch you have something, so he led you here and told you the truth."

Having trouble with your purse?

Bai Luomei subconsciously took the purse, looked up and down carefully, and failed to find anything abnormal.

I saw the man motioning for her to hand over the purse to him, and the man opened the purse and took out the herbs inside.

"This thing is called a mandala, a poison from the Western Regions, some of which have been ground into powder, and as the wearer inhales these mandalas, it will cause fainting and hallucinations, and in severe cases, it may even die."

"Girl, you don't notice anything is wrong?"

The more Bai Luomei listened, the more mysterious she felt, she bought this purse on the street, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

She had only been wearing it for half an hour, and there was nothing abnormal on her body.

That's right.

Bai Luomei woke up suddenly, "Fourth master! ”

If it is really as he said, wouldn't the current fourth master be dangerous?

"Jing Mu, you have to find a way to settle them, buy some food and clothes for them, and be sure to ensure their safety!"

With that, Bai Luomei ran out.

Fourth master, you can't have anything to do!

Bai Luomei muttered in her heart, and returned to the inn as fast as she could, looking for the fourth master.
