Chapter 489: The Truth About the People's Breakthrough
His eyes were full of fear. However, there was a clear sigh of relief.
Jiang Chao looked at the other party and didn't say anything more, although the words of this guy in front of him made him very angry, but Jiang Chao also knew that this person didn't think like this.
As he said, he probably thought at first that he would be so cruel as to kill all these people in order to prevent and control the epidemic.
After all, if these people are locked up, they won't think about it. Coupled with Jiang Chao's ruthlessness towards the Japanese people, he had to be afraid in his heart.
Just now, if Jiang Chao really said that he would suppress it by force, this guy would definitely be desperately admonished.
"Get up, I'll deal with this matter myself!" Jiang Chao went over and patted the city lord of Yongcheng and helped him up.
When the city lord of Yongcheng heard this, his face was stunned, and he was a little more respectful to Jiang Chao in his heart.
Jiang Chao didn't punish him, which surprised him, but he was also a little happy.
At least, Jiang Chao doesn't seem to be so cruel to the Chinese people. If he had followed Jiang Chao's treatment of the Japanese people, he was afraid that he would have died a long time ago.
It's just that when he heard that Jiang Chao was going to deal with this matter in person, he couldn't help but be a little apprehensive.
Not only because it is a hard-hit area, and the river tide will be very dangerous in the past, but more importantly. If Jiang Chao is not controlled, he really lets the army suppress those who make trouble, I am afraid that it will be troublesome.
But Jiang Chao didn't give him a chance to speak, turned around and walked out, and several generals on the side hurriedly followed Jiang Chao out.
Ah Sheng followed Jiang Chao's side, with a worry in his eyes, and he said to Jiang Chao: "Sir, let me deal with this matter!" You're waiting here for news from me......"
There are a lot of patients in isolation in Puxia Village, although most of the patients have been isolated because of the appropriate measures, but who knows if there are any sick people among them.
In addition, if those people make trouble and hurt Jiang Chao, they will be in trouble.
Jiang Chao shook his head when he heard this, it would be better for him to deal with this matter personally, and let others handle it, in case it gets out of hand, it is not a good thing.
Ah Sheng had no choice but to follow behind Jiang Chao, and the generals who followed him could only follow.
Soon, everyone rode to the side of Puxia Town, and the town in front of them was not big, but it was not small. The surrounding area is blocked by wooden fences.
More than 50,000 people were all quarantined in the town, and the daily life of the townspeople was taken care of by the officials who were also sealed in it. All supplies were sent in from outside.
All living materials are currently free of charge, and all are the responsibility of the Chinese government.
Jiang Chao came to the entrance and exit in front of the town, and nearly a thousand people gathered in front of him, their clothes were ragged. At first glance, it is the poor people of the town.
The first young man shouted.
"Let us out, if we don't let us out, we're going to starve to death, are you really going to kill us all? Didn't Mr. Jiang save us poor people from fire and water? Why do you treat us like this......"
As the young man shouted, the people around him also shouted, their eyes full of anger.
Seeing this, Jiang Chao frowned, he walked closer, and at this time, the commander of the junior military battalion guarding here saw Jiang Chao coming and hurriedly trotted over.
"Sir, why are you here?" He said with a respectful expression and a nervous face.
"What happened? Why should they break through!? Jiang Chao asked the battalion commander.
When this person heard this, the expression on his face showed a look of embarrassment, he glanced at the city lord of Yongcheng beside Jiang Chao, then at Jiang Chao, and finally, he said in a slur manner:
"The people said that we had locked him up and would not let them out, but we would not give them food. They are not allowed to work, and their lives are not guaranteed. You want us to let them go out to work and earn money! ”
When Jiang Chao heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Because of this epidemic, he has transferred a lot of food and materials from the interior. In recent years, due to the popularization of hybrid rice and greenhouse technology, the food problem has been able to meet the needs of the catastrophe.
With so much food and materials sent in, even if there are 500,000 people inside, it will definitely be able to meet the demand, so why do these poor people have no food?
Seeing Jiang Chao frowning, the battalion commander hurriedly said: "The materials have been sent in according to your requirements, but it is the mayor of Puxia Town who distributed the materials." He is responsible for the distribution of specific materials...... Why this is happening, I don't know ......"
In the end, the battalion commander had a look of embarrassment on his face. Because, Jiang Chao's isolation requirement is that they only enter and do not leave, and their children must be responsible for guarding here.
You can't go in at all, once you go into the town, you can't come out, and in terms of materials, of course, it's impossible to distribute them in person.
Hearing the other party's words, Jiang Chao instantly understood what the problem was, the materials were sent in, but the person in charge of this matter was afraid that he had done something about it.
So many poor people did not distribute supplies, so it can only be said that these materials have been embezzled by them.
A wave of anger surged from Jiang Chao's heart, and the killing intent couldn't stop radiating around. He couldn't have imagined that at this time of crisis, there would be people who still wanted to make a fortune in the country.
He turned his head to look at the city lord of Yongcheng behind him, this person's name was Liu Shuping, and he was also a relatively capable person. It was originally an official under the seat of Mingzhou Zhizhou.
Because of his outstanding ability, the organization department at that time kept him because of the extreme shortage of talents.
Just now, the battalion commander of the subordinate army turned his head to look at this person, it was definitely not untargeted, there must be something hidden in this.
Seeing Jiang Chao looking at him, Liu Shuping's face changed instantly, and he quickly knelt on the ground. He bowed down to Jiang Chao and said respectfully:
"Sir, the mayor of this Puxia Town is a nephew of my Liu family's partial house. It's just that we haven't seen each other for decades. Since I became an official, I have cut off all contact with my family. I'm also afraid that my family will use my momentum to bully others. ”
Speaking of this, his tone changed, and he continued: "Sir, if I really did that bastard in this matter, I, Liu Shuping, will personally take him to ask for guilt to you, sir!" ”
When Jiang Chao heard this, he looked at Liu Shuping lightly, on the other party's resume, it was indeed as he said, since he became an official, he has not had any contact with his family for more than 20 years.
People from his family had come to him several times, but he had refused. In addition to the parents and brothers at home, these immediate family members are next to them. The other clansmen did not recognize it.
The Liu family is also a big family in Yongcheng, and when he does this, he is afraid that his family will rely on his official authority and do evil everywhere.
After all, there have been some high-ranking officials in the Liu family before, and some people in the Liu family are almost known to everyone in Yongcheng.
