The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1064 Entering the city?Impossible!
Who would be willing to separate the flesh and blood?After signing the contract of sale, he will be a slave for the rest of his life, and his children and grandchildren will also be slaves.

Of course, those mean people who sell their sons and daughters for some money are by no means ruled out.

"Fellow folks, please listen to what I have to say." Gu Chengyu took a deep breath, raised his inner strength, and shouted loudly.

"Stop, the imperial envoy is here."

Several yamen servants behind shouted and pushed Ren Yazi, who was dragging the two little girls, aside.

"Don't move, the imperial envoy has something to say."

The victims looked back at Gu Chengyu, seeing that it was the official who drove them to Yingnan Mansion when they were in Hangtian Mansion, they couldn't help but get excited.

"Look! It was the dog officer who sent us to Yingnan Mansion to settle us properly, but what happened? We are still starving and have nowhere to live."

One of the victims pointed at Gu Chengyu, full of righteous indignation.

Seeing this, the victims on the side quickly pulled him back.Several people covered his mouth with hands and feet to prevent him from speaking out loud again.

Gu Chengyu's act of shooting and wounding victims in front of the city gate of Hangtianfu was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. These people still remember Gu Chengyu's cruelty to this day.

This person abused him so much, who knows if the official will become angry and kill this person, and then vent his anger on them?

Insulting the court officials and disregarding the superiority and inferiority should have been punished.

Gu Chengyu looked at the disaster victim, and when he saw the anger and sadness in the other person's eyes, Gu Chengyu knew that this was a real disaster victim, not a spy sent by others.

There were many men, women and children around the man, and they all looked at him with terrified eyes.

Gu Chengyu sighed, and didn't care about what this person called him a dog official.Such a day is indeed fucking and infuriating, and it is normal for him to be scolded a few times.

He can understand the other party's difficulties, but he must not tolerate the other party's wanton abuse of him.As an official of the imperial court, he should maintain the image and dignity of his official.

Gu Chengyu could bear it for the time being, but Ming Mo couldn't.

"What a wolf-hearted thing, who will provide you with food and drink along the way from Hangtian Mansion to Yingnan Mansion? Has your food been cut off in the past two days? Not to mention that the whole family has a few steamed buns to fill their stomachs a day. These are all bought with the money my lord tried to raise. In order to prevent you from starving, my lord racked his brains and offended many people. You ate the food sent by your lord and scolded my lord, Have your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

Ming Mo looked excited, looking at the victims with anger in his eyes.

"The disaster relief money issued by the imperial court is still on the way. If my lord hadn't tried every means, you would have starved to death."

Ming Mo complained about Gu Chengyu's grievances, feeling aggrieved.

My lord hasn't had a good rest since he came to Jiangnan.Fight wits with those merchants and officials every day, and have to find ways to raise relief money.

For this reason, in just half a month, the adults in his family have lost a lot of weight.

Ming Mo's accusation made the victims present speechless for a moment.

What this entourage said was indeed the truth, whether it was Hang Tian Mansion or Ying Nan Mansion, who would manage those officials?If it hadn't been for the arrival of the imperial envoy, they would have been at the end of their ropes long ago.

Gu Chengyu didn't interrupt Ming Mo's words, in his opinion, one should speak out when one has done a good deed.Otherwise, it would be like traveling at night in brocade clothes, no one would know.

Doing good deeds without leaving a name does not exist for Gu Chengyu.He does not deny that everything he does has a purpose.

But he has benefited, and it has also benefited others.

"Everyone, I know that you don't want to come to Yingnan Mansion, but think about it, can you get a proper resettlement if you stay in Hangtian Mansion? There are about [-] victims in Changtian Mansion. With so many victims, a Hangtian Mansion cannot I can't eat it. Since I have brought you to Yingnan Mansion, I naturally have a way to settle you."

"The disaster relief money issued by the imperial court is still on the way. The food you eat every day is what I licked my face and asked for by others. Whether you are resentful or grateful to this official in your heart! Things in this world cannot be done like this. Favorable, I want to be worthy of my heart!"

Gu Chengyu glanced around the victims, seeing that some had lowered their heads in shame, so he eased his expression.

"We admit that the imperial envoy is a good official, but you see, my lord, we have been staying outside the city gate, without eating or drinking, and we don't even have a place to stay. My lord, our requirements are not high, we only seek A place to shelter. If the Lord lets us enter the city, we will be grateful if we can find a place to cover ourselves with a tile." A person in the crowd suddenly suggested.

Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes, and quickly looked in the direction of the voice.

It's just that the victims were crowded, and he really couldn't find that person for a while.

"Yes! My lord, please take pity on us! Let us go to the city. Didn't you say that there is a nursing home in Yingnan Prefecture? Why can't you take us in?"

One person started, and the rest of the victims also begged, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Gu Chengyu's eyes sharpened, "Entering the city? Absolutely impossible!"

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, the sword came out of its sheath with a bang.Seeing this, Ming Mo and the yamen servant behind him immediately drew their swords to face each other.

"If someone wants to break in, then ask the sword in my hand. Those who break in will be regarded as rebels and thieves, and they will be punished by the nine clans."

Gu Chengyu's fierce eyes made the disaster victims who were about to make a move tremble, and the gleaming silver sword made everyone flinch.

When there are too many people, it is easy to be deceived by people with ulterior motives. Gu Chengyu scanned the crowd, but found no obvious abnormality in anyone's expression.

It seems that this person has much more superb acting skills than the person in Hangtian Mansion before, so after saying this, he immediately shrank back in the crowd and did not dare to show his face.

Gu Chengyu raised the sword in his hand, and his tone was slower than before, "Don't worry, everyone, I want to build a temporary shanty for you first, so that you can have a shelter. Next, Yingnan Mansion also needs The head of each village selects 120 strong people to be registered in the register."

After Gu Chengyu explained the matter, he glanced at the crowd again, then turned and left.

The victims couldn't help smiling when they heard that the government wanted to recruit river workers again.

There are 120 middle-aged people in a village, and one family has one. The wages earned are used to buy food, so the whole family will not starve to death.

"Let go, my daughter is not for sale anymore." A man dragged back a little girl who had been dragged away by a steward. He couldn't die of hunger. Why would he sell his daughter?

"Hey? Didn't we agree earlier? Why did you go back on your word? I took out all my money."

The person in charge immediately became unhappy, isn't this going back on promises?

Regardless of the chaos behind him, Gu Chengyu walked towards the city with Ming Mo and the yamen servant.

"You have sent people to keep an eye on these disaster victims in the past two days, and if you see any suspicious people, report them to me immediately."
