Chapter 131: Two Months

Xu Chong didn't speak, his eyes were extremely complicated.

"The old man just feels it, you don't need to take it to heart."

Jiang Zhihong waved his hand, "You have your way, don't get involved in this matter." ”

"You plan to continue saving people?"

Xu Chong spoke, "There is still a steady stream of people on the way. ”

"Nothing."

Jiang Zhihong didn't care, "The Dao seed can only collapse once, I am now washing my body nine times, and my strength is enough, it's nothing more than being tired and can't die." ”

At this time, a servant came in and said that a group of newcomers had gathered outside the city, and they were waiting for treatment in a separate area that had been divided.

"I'll go right away."

Jiang Zhihong nodded to the yamen, and then looked at Xu Chong, "You are a blood-clothed guard, and you have no experience in yamen management, so help me take care of the security in the city." ”

After saying that, he strode away.

"Is it a quarter past three?"

Xu Chong looked at the sky and walked out of the yamen in one direction.

Theoretically, the people of Canglong County are also to be arranged outside the city.

But in order to make everyone safer, Zhao Liu took the initiative to provoke high-risk work at the city gate.

This allowed the surviving people of Canglong County to move into the city and occupy an abandoned fang city similar to the Canglong Black Water Dock.

Not to mention any conditions, except for a few simple houses that have not completely collapsed, it is the kind of simple scaffolding outside the city.

Li Xiangxue is also among them.

When Xu Chong arrived, Li Xiangxue was hiding in the corner alone, holding a wooden stick, writing and drawing on the ground.

That's three names.

One is Li Quanan and the other is Cui Wan.

After writing it, Li Xiangxue thought about it and added another one.

Wang Hezhi.

"Learn."

Xu Chong called softly.

Li Xiangxue stiffened and slowly turned around.

"It's me."

Xu Chong nodded.

"Uncle Xu......"

Surprise erupted from his dirty face, and Li Xiangxue threw himself on Xu Chong's leg, "You die, you don't die!" ”

"Daddy is dead, grandma is dead, and the county order grandpa is also arrested."

"Xiang Xue thought you were dead too......

Children who are less than five years old can already use the word 'death' so proficiently.

"Yes, I'm not dead."

Xu Chong touched Li Xiangxue's head.

I have so much to do, how can I die?

Li Xiangxue suddenly let go of Xu Chong, unbuttoned his shirt, put the tablet tied to his waist on the ground, and then knelt down and kowtowed respectfully three times.

Xu Chong saw it clearly.

The tablet reads, Xu Gong worships the position of immortality.

This is an immortal tablet.

"May God bless Uncle Xu, no illness and no disasters in his life, many blessings and longevity, and the people Li Xiangxue will kowtow to him."

Li Xiangxue repeated it a few times, and then kowtowed three times.

Only then did he get up and solemnly tie the tablet back to his waist.

"You...... Always with it? ”

Xu Chong asked.

"Hmm."

Li Xiangxue nodded, "This is what my father confessed, and I said it again when my mother died." ”

When he said this, Li Xiangxue's face was calm and his tone was smooth.

I didn't see any sadness.

"That's right, Uncle Xu."

Li Xiangxue raised his face and asked, "Is Grandpa County Ling dead?" ”

"Hmm."

Xu Chong replied softly, "I buried him in a place with a good view, and I will take you to see it if I have the opportunity." ”

"Okay."

Li Xiangxue nodded seriously, and then asked with hesitation: "Grandpa County Order...... Is he really a thief? ”

"Whether he's a thief or not, what does he do to you?"

Xu Chong asked rhetorically.

"This ......"

Li Xiangxue seemed to remember something bad, a trace of fear appeared on his face, and he said uncertainly: "It should be good, although it is very strict...... Then why did the imperial court catch people? ”

"It's up to you to find the answer to this question."

Xu Chong said seriously.

At this time, Zhao Liu appeared not far away.

"Go to bed early."

Xu Chong patted Li Xiangxue and walked towards Zhao Liu.

"Your Excellency."

Zhao Liu clenched his fists, "In the entire Canglong County, except for some who have a way to escape to Fucheng, all the people who are still alive are here, a total of more than 10,000 people, most of them are ......"

"I saw it, most of them were in the prime of life."

Xu Chong was not surprised, "It's not easy to survive so much, you should have suffered a lot." ”

"I'm not alone."

Zhao Liu shook his head, "There are many of the officials and brothers in the county who have helped together. ”

"Since the news of Fenggu County spread, we have gathered people who are still alive, brought all the food we can find, and migrated here together."

"The current Canglong is an empty city."

When the Yin God was in a hurry, Xu Chong saw it.

On the Canglong side, there are only dots, adding up to less than a thousand red dots that are so rich that they turn black.

"Don't worry, there won't be any more deaths."

Xu Chong sighed.

"yes, there won't be any more dead."

Zhao Liu nodded, and he was also greatly relieved: "Jiang Xianzun just said when he went to the city to treat the victims, and the imperial court will soon send food and medicine for disaster relief. ”

"Disaster Relief......

Xu Chong was noncommittal and stepped into the darkness.

The meaning he expressed had nothing to do with whether the imperial court provided disaster relief at all.

……

……

Jiang Zhihong assured everyone that he would be able to survive this famine.

Then he acted vigorously and confiscated all the grain stockpiles.

All the residents of Fenggu County, whether poor or rich, willing or unwilling, were forced to contribute their own food.

If you don't pay it, you have to leave the scope of Fenggu County, risk getting sick, and go to other places.

Staying here, although there is only a bowl of porridge, half a radish, and half a steamed bun every day, it is far from being full, but at least it can still live.

Everyone thought that as long as they could resist the relief of the imperial court, everything would be fine.

Unfortunately, they were wrong.

Half a month has passed, and no one has come to the imperial court, but there are still victims from all over Yongzhou.

A month later, the number of victims outside the city has exceeded 100,000, and the number continues to increase.

Fortunately, Fenggu County is located in the plain, and the terrain outside the city is open, and it is only a trivial matter to accommodate 100,000 people, but the scaffolding is not enough, and the nearby mountains are all cut down.

However, no one from the imperial court came.

At the same time, as the number of people increases, the standard of food for all people has suddenly shrunk.

Now, every person per day, only half a bowl of porridge, and some unrecognizable plant rhizomes.

It's okay outside the city, it's a refugee, so it's not so particular.

But the aborigines of Fenggu County in the city have been boiling and the county government is surrounded by water.

"Dog official Jiang Zhihong! You come out for me! ”

"Come out and give us an explanation!"

"If you don't come out again, grandpa, I'll fight with you!"

“……”

The faces of the officials were yellow and thin, and the hands holding the waist knives were a little trembling, firmly blocking these people from breaking in.

"Shut up!!"

The leading Dian Shi Chuwei shouted, "Lord County Zun saved your life, how dare you be so disrespectful?" ”

"Huh? Save our lives? ”

One laughed angrily, "Listen, everyone, he said that the dog officer saved our lives?" ”

"Save the fart! We weren't sick in the first place, and we needed him to save us? ”

"It's just a little headache and brain fever, what kind of epidemic is purely an excuse for the dog officer to get our food!"

"That's it!"

"Give us clear water and radish every day, I'm afraid that I'm hiding in the yamen with big fish and meat, right?"

“……”

Chu Wei looked at these people coldly, and his heart felt a chill.

It's only been a long time, and it's just a dog official.

Have they forgotten that when they were sick and dying, how did they call the heavens and the earth unforgiving?

If it weren't for Jiang Zhihong, these people would have turned their corpses into white bones, how could they still have the strength to speak?

As for the big fish and big meat.

It's a joke.

Everyone, including the officials and officials, had the same standard of food.

The county lord is the same, and he may not be able to eat a bite in three or five days.

Chu Wei pinched the handle of the knife tightly, eager to rush up and tear these people's mouths apart.

"Hey......"

At this time, with a long sigh, Jiang Zhihong appeared at the door.

In an instant, everyone's emotions were ignited.

"Dog officer!! Give me back the food!! ”

"Didn't you say that the imperial court would come to provide disaster relief? How long has it been now! If you don't come again, the big guys will all starve to death! ”

"Jiang Zhihong! We believe in you, and we will cooperate with you to take out your own food, and now you must give us an explanation! ”

"What else do you need to explain?! He's sure he'll lie to us, and he'll be there soon......"

"Yes, I don't want you to explain anything, I want my own food!"

“……”

"Everyone!"

Jiang Zhihong flicked his sleeves, and his calm and old voice made everyone quiet slightly.

"Wait another month."

"After a month, if the court still doesn't save you......"

"I, Jiang Zhihong, come to the rescue."

Jiang Zhihong said slowly.

"You? Joke! ”

Someone sneered, "You are just a county magistrate, how can you save so many people?" ”

Jiang Zhihong did not answer immediately, but waved his hand and asked a kind of official to retreat.

Then came a punch that hit the frame of the gate.

Boom Boom –

Starting from the gate, half of the wall that connected the gate cracked and collapsed in an instant, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

One punch, the wall collapsed?

The wall, which is more than ten zhang long, one foot thick, and one zhang high, and is full of solid blue bricks, collapsed like this?!

Is this a dream?

This must be a dream!

The inhuman power made everyone stunned in place, and one by one their eyes widened, looking at the collapsed wall in disbelief.

Jiang Zhihong slowly walked towards the yamen.

"Just because I'm a martial artist."

Warriors?

What do you mean?

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what this meant.

The only one who understands is Chu Wei, who is a canonical history.

Chu Wei's complexion changed again and again, and he ordered the officials to drive away the troublemakers, and quickly followed Jiang Zhihong.

"Your Excellency, ......"

Chu Wei wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

"Don't rush just yet."

Jiang Zhihong smiled faintly, "There is still a month, maybe, it won't be so bad as that?" ”

"One month ......"

Chu Wei felt bitter in his heart, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, within this month, my subordinates will not let any chaos occur in and out of the city." ”

And just like that, time passed day by day.

The one-month deadline was fast approaching.

However.

Whether it was the appointment clerk, the relief of food, or the minister, there was no appearance.
