Chapter 147: Hope is in the King of Chu! The true face of Chuhe Village!
He clapped his hands.
Suddenly, a man and a woman, dressed in white Confucian clothes and wearing a hat, walked over.
Hand-held paper fan.
"Shangguan Wan'er, meet Her Royal Highness Princess Changle."
Shangguan Wan'er bowed to Princess Changle, and immediately looked at the old man next to her, and asked, "Senior, what do you dare to ask?"
"Shangguan, there is an urgent matter to deal with, please take a trip."
"You send this letter to Your Highness, 100,000, urgently."
The old man handed the sealed letter in his hand to Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flickered.
100,000, urgent.......
How long has it been.
I haven't heard this attitude for a long time.
She suddenly took a deep breath and said seriously, "Understood."
Shangguan Wan'er came over and turned to leave.
However, instead of going out, she re-entered the yard.
Princess Changle was a little dazed.
If it's a message, isn't it going out?
Why did you go back?!
"Your Royal Highness Changle, this is the way we send the message to the Chu Palace, there is no need to worry."
"Don't worry, Your Highness will definitely take care of this matter, Your Highness will not allow His Royal Highness to lose any important person, you, just go back and rest in peace."
The old man explained with a smile.
However, he didn't say much either.
Princess Changle nodded blankly.
Although she was still very puzzled.
By the way, that person, Shangguan Wan'er?
It seems that ....... have never seen it himself.
But as soon as the old man shouted, he came out, and he could only be nearby.
In the vicinity, Li Junxian and others did not find it before.
This ....... is another master.
And the old man said so, she doesn't believe it now, but she has to believe it.
Perhaps.
Anyway, there is no second way for me.
can only be pinned on the body of the king of Chu ........
….……….…….
The other side.
Li Yan, who was arranged by Li Shimin to go to Chuhe Village, had already arrived near the boundary of Chuhe Village.
Li Yan rode on the horse, looking at the scenery outside, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow.
Miserable!
It's miserable!
Along the way, there were hungry people everywhere.
Why is this happening?
So much grain has been distributed by the imperial court, how can there still be disaster victims.
Li Yan investigated.
Then I learned that all this was because of the family.
The grain distributed by the imperial court, through layers of deductions, waited for the hands of the people far away from Chang'an City, and there was only a little bit left.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away.
These magistrates all ate human blood steamed buns and hid all the grain.
As a result, there are still so many victims in the north.
"General Lee, damn it! It's so damning! Why are these families so arrogant? Even dare to do relief food!
The guards accompanying him were furious.
Li Yan's eyes flickered, and he sighed: "This is why Your Majesty regards the five surnames and Qiwang as a thorn in your side, and what is even more terrifying is that the news of the countless victims here ....... not reach Your Majesty's ears."
"This means that the local officials in this place are all biased towards the family!
"Your Majesty, he has no control over this side at all."
The guard looked at him angrily and said, "When we go back, we will inform Your Majesty?"
….
Li Yan smiled bitterly: "The report is definitely reported, but it is just a solution.......
I can't grasp it in these words.
Will His Majesty do anything to those officials with five surnames and seven wangs?
Li Yan wasn't sure.
After all
The impact is too complicated.
"Hey....... let's keep walking."
Li Yan sighed and rode his horse again.
On their way, they were densely populated with homeless people.
They flock to find a place to eat.
They were all thin and weak, and their eyes were full of green light from hunger.
The embarrassment is no longer enough to describe the victims.
They are miserable.
It's terrible!
Those magistrates didn't give the people a chance to live at all!
Li Yan looked at them, Mu Mu was stunned, he really couldn't believe that the scenery in front of him was real.
The further north you go, the more people you will suffer.
And they did not flee to the land of Chang'an, but to the further north.
Why go there?
Die? Take refuge in the Turks of the North?
Or is there a hole in the ....... over there?!
"General, there's a Zhuangzi in front, do you want to take a look?!"
At this time, the guard next to him spoke.
"Good!"
Li Yan nodded in agreement.
Riding his horse slowly into the village of what the guards had mentioned.
He looked at the withered village, and then at the road in front of the village, which was already covered with fallen leaves and dead branches.
Here, no one should have lived here for a long time.
I think it was during the famine this year, and the host family had fled the place.
Li Yan found a house and knocked on the door, but there was no one.
Somewhat unwilling, Li Yan knocked on several doors one by one, but they were all closed and no one was seen.
Is this a Zhuangzi without people?
He doesn't give up.
I was about to keep knocking, but there was a sound next to me.
"Don't knock."
"Who are you looking for, descendants? The people here have fled the wilderness before, and only the old man and I are left."
At this time, an old man came out of the courtyard next to him.
He hunched over with a stick in his hand.
His hair is gray and his beard is white.
His eyes were cloudy, and he should be very old.
"Uncle!
Li Yan hurriedly walked over and supported him.
"What about our people here? If I remember correctly, the locust plague in Chang'an has been resolved, and the imperial court has also distributed a lot of food, so why are there still a lot of victims along the way."
The old man sighed, shook his head and said, "Natural and man-made disasters can be solved, but people's hearts ....... difficult."
"I heard that the imperial court issued grain, and many people came back to Zhuangzi, but as time passed, it has been some time since the imperial court issued grain, but no food has reached the hands of our Zhuangzi people.
"Don't talk about this Zhuangzi, the surrounding Zhuangzi, one by one, are all about the same, and those who can run, all of them have run."
"The rest are only us, the old, and the childless, where are we going? I can only stay and die."
The old man choked.
Hearing this, Li Yan only felt panic in his throat, and his hands were clutched, glowing red.
….
"Then, old man, haven't you ....... looked for this reason? The food of the imperial court will never disappear out of thin air."
Li Yan asked again.
The old man smiled bitterly: "What else can it be, many people know that this reason is that it was detained by local officials, and there were also other Zhuangzi people who went to Chang'an to report, but the official who listened was also an official of the family, and the person who reported it died that night."
"It's been going back and forth a lot, who would dare to report it?"
Li Yan's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn! Wild! These family officials are really lawless .......!
This kind of thing,
He inquired a lot along the way, and every time he asked the same question, the answer he got was almost the same, and his ears were calloused.
But still ask!
And every time I hear it, I can't stop being angry!
The old man waved his hand helplessly and said, "No way, this matter is like this, let's just discuss more powerless anger, there is no need to talk about it."
"By the way, look at you dressed as southerners, so spirited, and brightly dressed, I don't know why you came here to suffer and suffer, if you don't dislike it, and you don't have a place to stay, come and sit in my house, I'm an old man, I haven't spoken for a few days."
"Before I die, I can chat with you and solve your doubts, which can be regarded as blinding."
The old man said.
Li Yan hurriedly helped him in.
The yard of the house was dried up and cracked into small pieces.
They sat down at the base of the wall, which was still a little shady.
"Uncle, can you tell me more about the government here?"
Li Yan asked again.
Several guards also looked at the old man instantly.
"The government here? At the beginning, the imperial court was slow to distribute food, and some of us went to ask the county lord, but the county lord said that the imperial court's disaster relief grain has not been distributed, and there is no food to provide disaster relief."
"Ridiculous, ridiculous! In the granary of Ming Ming County, it is full of grain!
The old man shook his head and sighed.
When Li Yan heard this, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"And that's the case?" Li Yan was furious.
"Yes, the grain is a store, but they will not give it to us, the people."
"It's easy to want it, buy it, but the price is scary, and the people don't run, what can you do?"
The old man said.
"Aren't they afraid of the court holding them accountable?" The guards next to him were also angry.
"Accountability? Who chases? The people who came down to hold them accountable, maybe they were the same as the people who went to Chang'an City to denounce them, and the officials were their relatives, there was no way."
The old man was already desperate.
His whole body trembled as he spoke.
But in the end, he sighed heavily, and seemed to give up the struggle and accept all this.
Li Yan clenched his hands.
"yes."
Li Yan nodded and said, "The clan gate valve is like a towering tree, they shade the descendants, this tree is getting bigger and bigger, the root system is becoming more and more developed, and it is dead and close to the Central Plains under the earth, no way, no way."

, can only kneel directly and kowtow several times.
Li Yan's footsteps were a little faster.
Waiting for the horse, the atmosphere was a little solemn.
"General, where are you going?"
One of the guards asked.
"Continuing north, I'm going to see what so many people are going to do there."
"And ....... Chuhe Village that Your Majesty said is also further north."
Li Yan said.
I couldn't stop thinking in my heart, could it be that ....... these victims were related to Chuhe Village?
Random thinking is a taboo for military generals.
He immediately shook his head, and the men rode their horses again.
On the road.
Li Yan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his throat hurt, and he looked at the bleak window around him, his breathing was a little uncomfortable.
Ma Er came up with Zhuangzi.
All the way north.
On the way, they also passed through several Zhuangzi.
The situation is not bad.
Even, it passed through several county seats.
In the city, I can finally see some figures.
These are people who have a little money and can buy enough food.
However, if you continue to walk, there are fewer and fewer people in the county.
At the same time, there are fewer and fewer victims on the road.
"General, where have all the victims here gone? Something is wrong, is it all gone? Defect to the Turks?"
One of the guards wondered.
"Yes, General, let's come here, there are fewer and fewer victims, is there no one here anymore?"
Another guard scratched his head, not understanding.
"General, look ahead! There's a bunch of people ahead!
At this time, the voice of the guard at the front suddenly came.
Li Yan and the others immediately looked over.
Sure enough.
There were a large number of people in front of them, but they didn't move, as if someone in the middle was telling them something.
"Let's take a look!
Li Yan immediately ordered.
This bunch of people.......
The complexion is much better.
He suddenly had a guess in his mind.
"Hurry, hurry!
After getting on the horse, Li Yan urged again.
They came to the crowd.
Li Yan and the others dismounted.
There were a few guards who immediately went to squeeze through the crowd and took Li Yan to the front.
In the middle of the crowd, there was indeed a person giving an excited speech.
"Don't hesitate, really don't hesitate!
"When you arrive, you will know that Chuhe Village is the real northern immortal place, where you can have enough food, and the village chief of that village will also give us land to help us build our homes."
"In addition, the village chief of Chuhe Village, there are many guards, who will be responsible for our safety, and now outside Chuhe Village, all are homeless, if you don't go, there may really be no place in the back, after all, it is just a village."
"Everyone is a fellow countryman, I can lie to you, if you get there, you are not satisfied, I will personally send you back."
This person's voice was loud, and as he spoke, the fist in his hand slammed into the air a few times, and his movements were extremely skillful and energetic.
He's full!
So it's infectious.!
"Really, come with me, the situation over there in Chang'an City is indeed very good, you can eat enough there, but it is too far away from us, I'm afraid you will starve to death on the road before you get there."
"And in Chang'an, you can eat enough, but in addition to farming, you are a slave to the clan lord, but Chuhe Village is different, and you will never think of their way of working, you can have money for everything."
