Chapter 400: Jiangnan Prefect

In a robbery, the people who grabbed the food happily carried the food to the corner to eat, or went to find their own family, and the family gobbled up the food, and looked at it and ate it bite after bite, as if the food was their life.

It is indeed fate, and it is the only way for them to survive.

Those who did not grab the food showed despair, some sat directly on the ground and cried and shouted, and some looked at the people who grabbed it with hideous faces, eager to go directly to grab their food and eat it themselves.

It's just for some steamed buns, rice, and wheat, and there are already a lot of people scuffling together.

With every punch they threw down, they used all their might, as if they wanted to kill them all so that they could live.

"Spit it all out! It's all mine, it's all mine! ”

"I want to eat, I want to live!"

"Please save my grandson, my grandson will really die without this mouthful of steamed buns! He's really going to die! ”

A very thin looking woman clutched the steamed bun in her hand, her dirty face full of pain, her mouth open and screaming at the person who grabbed her things, as if trying to defend her food.

But where do the robbers care about this?

I can't live anymore, and other people's children are nothing.

The big man snatched the steamed bun directly from the mother-in-law's hand, he kicked the mother-in-law away with a cruel smile, and the kick went straight to the mother-in-law's heart, causing her to collapse to the ground, and she did not slow down for a while.

"Dead is dead, what is there to live as a child like this? I think you don't care about that grandson, it's the most important thing to find a way to live this life, anyway, this steamed bun is mine now, if you still think about it, come and ask me if my fist agrees, dare to rob me of food, I will definitely beat you to death with a fist. ”

The mother-in-law looked like she hadn't eaten for several days, and she was starving to death, where could she beat this man?

Even if she eats enough, the thin arms and legs will not be a man's opponent.

The mother-in-law lay on the ground crying in despair, but the man stood in place and ate the steamed buns in his hand, and the people watching around him had long been numb.

"At first, I originally wanted to give some food to this mother-in-law, at least so that she and her grandson would not starve to death, but then I thought about it, it was useless for me to help her at this moment, she had no power to protect herself, and she would only be robbed of food if she held it, so the most important thing at the moment was to open the granary as soon as possible for disaster relief."

All the granaries in Jiangnan gathered together, and Su Xiaomu calculated in his heart that if all the grain was opened for disaster relief, the people of Jiangnan could support it for a month.

His Majesty attaches great importance to the disaster situation in Jiangnan, and when Gu Jingcheng finds the prefect of Jiangnan to explain the specific disaster situation, he should be able to receive the disaster relief food soon, so that the broken embankment can be rebuilt, and the disaster in Jiangnan can be over.

As a result, Su Xiaomu no longer continued the heart of the Virgin, and she and Gu Jingcheng and her party continued to go towards the prefect's mansion.

There were many victims gathered at the entrance of the prefect's mansion, and unlike the streets in front, the victims here were obviously full of anger, their faces were full of hatred for the prefect, and the victims standing at the front were all holding weapons in their hands, and they stood facing the guards guarding the prefect's mansion, and the eyes of the guards were also full of hatred.

The prefect himself enjoyed happiness in the mansion alone, abandoning all the people affected by the disaster, this is really a good parental official!

Gu Jingcheng's face was inevitably blue with anger, and then he directly stepped forward to grab a victim at random, and asked indignantly: "Big brother, what are you all doing when you gather in this prefect's mansion?" ”

"What? It's not for this damn prefect to hand over all the grain, he didn't open the granary when Jiangnan was hit by the disaster, but secretly transferred all the grain to his mansion, so that we, the victims, couldn't eat a mouthful of food, and didn't leave us a way to live. ”

The homeless man who was pulled by Gu Jingcheng was angry when he talked about this prefect, his face was distorted, and every word he said wanted the prefect to die.

"Those of them who are officials and have money are usually powerful and prosperous, but now they only know how to covet pleasure when they are in trouble, and we are gathered here not to let them hand over the money that belongs to them for disaster relief, but just to let them spit out the part that belongs to the people, and the granary full of grain is only grain in it? That's the life of our people! It's our life! ”

As he spoke, the man who was originally full of resentment suddenly lost his emotions and cried bitterly with a sad face.

"Has it come to this point......

When Gu Jingcheng heard this, he never thought that things would develop like this, and he couldn't hide the sadness in his heart at this time.

The people are not the people, the officials are not officials, this is the Jiangnan at this moment.

Gu Jingcheng forcibly suppressed the grief in his heart, he walked to the prefect's mansion alone, faced all the displaced people affected by the disaster, and said loudly: "Everyone, my name is Gu Jingcheng, I am the champion of this spring festival, and I am also the special envoy sent by His Majesty to provide disaster relief, the disaster in Jiangnan is sudden, and the imperial court is shocked to have time to do a good job in disaster relief in the first time, His Majesty originally hoped to open a granary with the prefect of Jiangnan to help the people, but he never expected him to be such a person who is greedy for pleasure, rest assured, when this official finds out that the prefect has privately detained the granary, he will inevitably deal with this matter with the law, I'll give you an explanation. ”

"Since I am Your Majesty's envoy, then please believe me at this moment, at most two days, I dare to guarantee that the granary can be opened, and everyone in Jiangnan can eat grain, and people can eat grains and grains, I understand your sad feelings after the disaster."

What Gu Jingcheng said was not sincere, but at the moment, no matter how beautiful Gu Jingcheng's words were, it was just an empty silver ticket.

Who would believe something that cannot be cashed in?

The eyes of the people are still full of suspicion, Gu Jingcheng met these suspicious eyes, and still put on his most sincere face: "I know that everyone is suspicious of Your Majesty and the court because of the prefect's affairs, thinking that Your Majesty did not take Jiangnan to heart, but I came from thousands of miles away, and I can assure you that in Your Majesty's heart, the heart of the imperial court is not always in mind about the disaster-stricken Jiangnan, and today his prefect only knows his own pleasure regardless of the people, which is against the original intention of being an official, and once I find out the truth, I will definitely do it for Your Majesty, He took out this evil breath for all the people and personally corrected him! ”
