Early the next morning, the brigade had already entered the territory under the jurisdiction of Texas.

Ouyang Ying didn't see any patients except those who starved to death along the way. Xiaoyaozi saw that there was nothing to do, and it was only a few dozen miles away from the county seat of Dezhou, so he told Xiong Yi to take Ouyang Ying to Kaifeng.

Xiong Wei led the team to Texas City. This time, he deliberately noticed that there were really only old people on the road, and there were no young people or children in sight.

The weather was hot, and the soil in the fields was so dry that long cracks opened on the way. The weeds on the hillsides have also turned from green to yellow. A gust of wind blew, rolling up the mud and sand on the ground, and everything looked even more desolate.

From time to time, I saw a few old people starving to death on the side of the road, their tattered clothes fluttering in the wind.

The closer they got to Texas, the more people were affected, and after every distance they walked, they were surrounded by people and unable to move forward.

Xiong Wei rode his horse, and from a long distance he saw some old people leaning against the dirt slope, dying. Some old people on the side of the road have already gone west.

When they saw the procession delivering food, they ran up to block the procession, and an old man was still dragging Xiong Wei's horse.

Xiong Wei felt sad for a while, and ordered his men to distribute food to these victims.

Xia Yun stopped Xiong Wei and said, "You can't do this, these things must be sent to Dezhou City, handed over to the magistrate, and then distributed by him." ”

Xiong Wei frowned and said, "That's so troublesome, in the end, it's not going to be sent to these victims." ”

Xia Yun also frowned and said, "That can't be distributed now." ”

"Maybe it won't reach the hands of these people yet. After Xiong Wei finished speaking, he glanced at the victims again, "Brothers, hair!"

Xia Yun saw that Xiong Wei didn't care about anything, and he couldn't stop it, so he distributed some of the food. He told him the reason for this, and said, "You have sent things to the victims in advance, and the number of things you have arrived in Dezhou City is not right, and the county magistrate may say that you have embezzled grain, and then report it." ”

"Alas, when these things are in the hands of their officials, they will not be corrupt? And then they will report how long these people will starve, and if these old people starve to death, it will be a great sin. Anyway, I have a clear conscience, and I didn't embezzle a grain of grain. ”

"That's right. But have you ever thought about it, if you do. It would be unfair. ”

"How can it be unfair?"

Xia Yun knew that it would no longer work to stop Xiong Wei directly, and she had to find another way. "Normally, we have to go to Jinan Mansion and give all the money and food to the prefect. He then distributed food according to the different conditions of the disaster in each place and the number of people in the population. ”

"I wanted to go to Jinan or Linqing first a few days ago. After seeing so many refugees affected by the disaster, I felt that it was important to go directly to Linqing and provide relief to the victims. No matter what bullshit rules he has, it is the king for the common people to eat and not be starved to death. ”

"What if they frame you with this?" Xia Yun said anxiously.

"So many pairs of eyes watching, so many brothers doing their work. I didn't embezzle a grain of grain. It is useless to say. As he spoke, he went to see the victims, and Xia Yun heard Xiong Wei's nagging from a distance, "If you want to say that I am corrupt, I can't eat so much food." ”

When Xia Yun heard his words, she was almost angry with him. Xiong Wei has never done anything in the court, and such a thing can be big or small. Although he is all for the common people, some people with bad intentions will definitely make a fuss about this matter.

Xiong Wei looked at these old people, and they were very happy to get the food. However, although some elderly people get food, they can't eat it because of their age, so they can only put the ears of wheat in their mouths and chew them slowly.

Xiong Wei's heart fluttered again, how could he bear to see these homeless old people sleeping in the open?

"Someone. We're here for a day today. Dig a few pits in the woods and let the deceased old man be buried in the ground. Also, set up the stove and let these old people eat with us. Also, ask if these old people have fled. Find a way to send them all back. ”

When Xia Yun heard Xiong Wei's orders, she was almost stunned by him. She knew that these ideas were very good for the victims. But in this case, some people in the court will definitely say that he is too ignorant of the rules.

"Xiong Wei!" Xia Yun was so anxious that she was about to cry, "You can't do this." It's going to be gossiped about. ”

When Xiong Wei heard Xia Yun's words, he thought: If I do it, people will gossip? Then wouldn't it be good for the emperor to find someone who won't be gossiped about.

"The mouth grows on others, they can say whatever they like, whatever. ”

Xiong Wei looked at King Fu sitting in the carriage, and estimated that he was sleeping in it now. This was the case all the way, as soon as he got out of the station, he slept in the car until the next station.

"Let him resist. If he did this, it is probably not gossip. That is, His Royal Highness King Fu loves the people like a son. Anyway, the emperor asked me to come with him to inspect the disaster, so let's start now. ”

Xiong Wei thought and rushed directly into King Fu's carriage.

No sooner had he lifted the curtain of the carriage than he heard a snoring sound like thunder.

Xiong Wei patted King Fu's fat face, but King Fu did not react and continued to sleep. Xiong Wei said helplessly: "I've gone to the post station to eat." ”

King Fu still didn't react. Xiong Wei said, "There are assassins who want to kill you." ”

King Fu immediately stood up, looked around, and said, "Where is the assassin, where is the assassin?" He looked at Xiong Wei with sleepy eyes, and said with an ugly expression, "It's you stinky boy who is playing tricks on this king again." ”

"Get up, I'll let you do something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You go out and say to these victims, you are the third prince of King Fu, and you have come to comfort them on behalf of the emperor. Ask the soldiers to give them disaster food. ”

"What, you're going to distribute food now? These have to be given to the prefect of Jinan Prefecture and let him distribute them uniformly. ”

"Hmph. You still have a bit of common sense. The corners of Xiong's mouth turned up slightly, and he said, "It's not too late." I've posted it now. Didn't you come to inspect the disaster on behalf of the emperor? Saying that, Xiong Wei dragged King Fu out.

As soon as King Fu came out and saw a lot of victims, the scene was unbearable, and he wanted to get back into the car. As soon as he turned around, he hit Xiong Wei's chest.

Xiong Wei looked at him with his head held high and said, "What do you want to do? Hurry up, don't try to escape!"

King Fu said reluctantly: "Folks, I am the third prince of King Fu. The emperor's grace is immense. On behalf of the emperor, I will send you the food you need. Be of good cheer. ”

Xia Yun watched King Fu speak in front, Xiong Wei was clubbing in the back, and King Fu moved slightly, Xiong Wei grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Xia Yun was very helpless, sighed and said, "There is one more crime here, and I will commit the following crimes." There's no way around that. However, it was a good thing for the people that he did so. ”

Xiong Wei listened to King Fu's words and looked at the common people again. The expressions on their faces told Xiong that it was obviously much more reassuring to look at the grain.

He walked over to Xia Yun and said, "No one will gossip now." ”

Xia Yun didn't know what to say, and replied reluctantly: "Yes, no one will gossip, only someone will say that you will commit a crime." ”

Xiong Wei frowned and said, "Why is it so troublesome." I do something good and there are so many rules. It's still not as comfortable as the rivers and lakes. ”

"There are more rules. This is outside the palace, and the rules in the palace are even more ......," Xia Yun said again.

"Lord Xiong......" Suddenly, a soldier came back to report.

King Fu took the opportunity to look at it and said, "It's so hot, I won't stay here anymore, and go in and sleep." After saying that, he hurriedly ran into the car again.

"What's wrong?" asked Xiong.

"Some of the elderly are already homeless, and I can't say anything if I ask them. What about these old people?"

Xiong Wei supported his right hand with his left hand and his chin with his right hand, these old people saved them, and they had no labor anymore, but they couldn't let them starve to death like this.

He thought for a moment and continued, "Well, let's take all these old people with us first. Send them home if it's close. It is estimated that there will be some homeless elderly people along the way, and when we arrive in the county seat of Texas, we will find a way to build a special place for them to live. Let them live first. ”

"Yes!"

"Ahh Let these old men all sit on the same horse as the soldiers on horseback, they are all so old. Don't let them be tortured any longer. Xiong Wei commanded again.

They continued on their way to the county seat of Texas. Along the way, I met some more old people. Xiong Wei still uses the same method. Along the way, Xiong Wei didn't see a young child. The doubts in his mind were even more serious.

It was supposed to be a few hours away. They set out in the morning and only arrived in the evening to the county seat of Texas.

The magistrate knew that they were coming, so he greeted them at the door early. When Xiong Wei saw the magistrate, he asked, "Why do you only have old people in this county, and I don't see a few young people?"

"At the beginning of the drought, there were still young people. Then the young men fled. So there are only old people. ”

"Is that so?" But Xiong Wei still felt weird, "It can't be because of the drought that I went up to the mountains to become a bandit." ”

"This, this, this is also possible. The county commander said in a hurry.

Xiong Wei stood, looked from top to bottom, and said, "If you ask, it's useless." ”

Xiong Wei glanced at the grain and grass and said, "Brothers, hold on a little longer and unload the grain and grass first." ”

"Hey, Lord Xiong......" The county commander hurriedly stopped and said, "You have come from afar, how can you let you do it? ”

Xiong Wei looked back at the county order and said, "That's good." When you send it, take an inventory of the grain and grass by the way. Tomorrow send out the rest of the grain and grass. By the way, I forgot to tell you that I have already helped you distribute some grain and grass on the way. ”

"Lord Xiong, what about these old people?" The soldiers who took care of the old people also came.

Xiong Wei smiled slightly, looked at the county commander and said, "Lord the county commander, you see that these old people are also pitiful. I don't know where all your young people have gone. Can you find a place to house them first? ”

"It's not difficult, just leave it to the lower officials. The prefectural order agreed without even thinking about it.

Xia Yun's reaction to this county order was a little strange, under normal circumstances, the county order would be delayed. He didn't expect this county order to be so readily agreed.

"That's good. After Xiong Wei finished speaking, he walked towards the old man.

"Hey, Lord Xiong, what do you mean by helping me send it? The prefectural order asked again.

Xia Yun hurriedly helped Xiong Wei explain to the magistrate.

"This ......" the magistrate didn't know how to say it.

Xia Yun smiled slightly and said, "You check the bill, just truthfully register some of the grain and grass that has been distributed." Anyway, it's all sent to the people of Texas. ”

After saying that, she also chased Xiong Wei. Only the prefectural magistrate was left there staring blankly.
