My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 593 Rotten Qingzhou

Liu Mingzhi got up and looked at the wild vegetable pancakes and a bowl of unrecognizable porridge on the table, startled for a moment.

Glancing at the two who were staring at them, they grabbed the pancakes and porridge and devoured them without hesitation. Well, the taste is pretty good, not to mention a bit bland.

The reason why Liu Mingzhi feels that the taste is good is nothing more than the fact that he is used to rich food, big fish and meat. Occasionally eating a meal of miscellaneous grains will naturally feel novel and delicious. If he eats like this every day, his eyes may turn green.

Just look at the disaster victims outside. They are yellow and thin and their eyes are dull. Wild vegetables can fill their stomachs, but they still cannot compare with food in terms of nutrition.

Zhao Qi looked at the voracious Liu Mingzhi with a satisfied look on his face. The pancakes had no face, the porridge had no salt, and there was no sign of strangeness in the food that could be eaten voraciously, which meant that Liu Mingzhi was really hungry, not just pretending.

After belching, Liu Mingzhi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands: "Thank you, Big Brother Zhao, for the meal. If you have any orders, I will definitely be there for you."

Zhao Qi put away the bowls and chopsticks and went. Brother He thought for a while and looked at Liu Mingzhi who was wiping the corner of his mouth: "Brother Liu, how many guards were there at the city gate when you entered the city?"

"There are more than 20 people, quite relaxed, not strict at all."

Brother He got up and looked at the sky outside with his hands behind his back and sighed: "It's loose on the outside and tight on the inside, there are five thousand guards on the top of the city hiding in it, if you want to go out of the city without the token of the Qingzhou government officials, I'm afraid there will be no It's possible."

"Brother, we are back. The four city gates all seem to be loose, but they are actually full of dangers. If you want to send Master Qiao out, it is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. The surname Tong and the surname Gu do not intend to let us out of the city at all. .”

"That's right, brother. Seeing that food is getting scarce day by day, one meal of porridge a day can only last for about half a month. After entering a refugee camp, you can't get out at all. Three bowls of clear soup a day, these bastards can do it. Mansion Can the 20 shi of grain in the warehouse be used up? It’s not a solution to consume it like this.”

While talking, two more men walked in, wearing coarse linen clothes but with bright eyes.

Brother He raised his hand to signal, sighed and raised his hand to signal: "Wait a little longer, there will always be a chance. Besides, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. I don't believe that things about Qingzhou Mansion can't be spread. I starved to death for nearly three years." Thousands of people, how can they block this hole?"

"Thirty thousand? If this momentum continues, there will be more than one hundred thousand. Corpses are transported out of the refugee camp in the west of the city every day and buried outside the city. Qingzhou is a prefecture, and Pizhou, Hezhou, and Shengzhou are a few The situation in the state can be imagined, if this is the case in the state city, let alone the states and counties."

"Let me just listen to what my elder brother said. On the contrary, the old emperor sits on the dragon chair but doesn't know the sufferings of the people. Is he planning to give up the people of Qingzhou Prefecture? Qingzhou Prefecture only has 5000 soldiers, plus the counties and prefectures have the most soldiers. There are [-] people, but there are nearly [-] refugees in Qingzhou. If you don’t give the common people a way to live, you will be against the mother. How can the officials under his rule eat corpses without regard to human lives."

"Lu Shan, Mr. Qiao said that it should not be done unless it is absolutely necessary. The emperor will not watch the officials of the Qingzhou government act like this. Wait a little longer."

Lu Shan glanced at the person advising with righteous indignation: "Zuo Yi, you must be afraid, anyway, I listen to my elder brother, and I will do whatever my elder brother says."

Brother He frowned and looked at the two people who were arguing: "Okay, listen to the master, the rebellion is just a moment of anger, if the emperor is a real Mingjun, how can he really rebel."

"Brother, look at these people outside, they can last a few days, adults are better, there are hundreds of children, do you have the heart to watch them starve to death? The youngest of them is only about three years old!"

"Anti-anti-anti, you don't have to use your brains. Thousands of people in our yard agree. What do you think can happen? Even if all the people in Qingzhou Prefecture force the people to turn against the people, so what can you do? You are fighting against the imperial court, do you know? I know what you guys are talking about is angry, but these words must not be continued cough cough cough cough cough cough or find a way to get out of the city!"

Liu Mingzhi, who was stupefied listening to Brother He and the others, suddenly heard a vicissitudes of life voice behind him, his tone was a little lacking in confidence, and he turned around curiously.

A pale-faced man in his 50s or [-]s stood behind him and was supported by Zhao Qi. It seemed that he had suffered from a cold and was not treated in time and was malnourished.

With a sound, the shabby clothes were covered with a coat that could no longer be seen. Although the walking was difficult, there was a distinctive aura.

Liu Mingzhi thought for a while, and he could directly conclude that this person was appointed by an official. Brother He and the others had different auras from ordinary people. Liu Mingzhi had a vague guess, but he couldn't be sure.

Brother He went up to greet him directly: "Master Qiao, why are you getting up before you recover, go back and lie down quickly."

Master Qiao sighed slightly, walked to the stool and sat down: "I can't lie down, the tens of thousands of people in Qingshan County don't know what to do, how can I lie down."

"How so!"

"Master, tell me, my little one, listen up!"

"Try to get more food for the children. They are growing their bodies. If the root cause of the disease falls, this life will be over. For us old people, one less meal is one meal. Children can't do it, so let's get more."

Brother He looked at Master Qiao in embarrassment: "Master, it's not that you are cruel to let these children starve. Food is really running out. If we can't leave the city, we have to go to the refugee camp to drink clear soup three times a day."

Master Qiao trembled and looked at Brother He: "Hey, if you can't, just hand me over. They want me. You use me to pretend to submit to them, wait for the opportunity to go out of the city and go to Beijing to file a complaint, and report the situation of Qingzhou Mansion to Your Majesty." Listen, hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture will be saved."

Brother He shook his head resolutely: "No, let's not say that the master's kindness to He Qi is as great as a mountain. Even an ordinary person cannot hand it over at will. The master in Changshan County has been executed on the charge of treason. Even a corpse collector There are no people, why can't you watch the master go to die in vain, these guys are already crazy for the chair under their buttocks, master, wait another two days!"

"Ugh."

Master Qiao plopped down on his knees and clacked his head three times against the setting sun: "God, open your eyes, save Qingzhou Mansion, save the people of Qingzhou Mansion."

"Master, get up quickly, how can your bones be so tossing."

Liu Mingzhi stood aside and looked at Master Qiao who was kneeling on the ground. No, it should be said that the eyes of Qiao Changjing, the magistrate of Qingshan County, were a little sore.

What kind of rotten Qingzhou mansion has become? What a mess the emperor asked himself to clean up.

"Hmm, Brother He, Master Qiao, when I was traveling in Xiangzhou, I heard that the capital seems to have sent an imperial envoy to Qingzhou Mansion. I think it should be here soon."

Qiao Changjing and the others hurriedly raised their heads to look at Liu Mingzhi standing in the corner with a surprised look: "Really?"
