The little wife of the general's family is cruel and flirtatious

Chapter 74 Fate is as cheap as grass?

Chu Qingyun protected Xiao Xiaoxiao and forced her way out of the crowd.

"Girl, you are here! Look at this..."

The porridge in the pot has bottomed out, but there are more and more people queuing up.

Chu Qingyun: "Ask someone to cook more."

Xiao Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide: "Qingyun, you are just too kind, I think their minds are very bad, they should starve to death."

Chu Qingyun didn't explain, if there were other ways to survive, this group of people wouldn't want to live without dignity like this.

Half an hour later, the second batch of porridge was served, and the group of people rushed forward like crazy.

Crowding, trampling, wailing and cursing were endless.

"Girl, get out of the way, this group of people are desperate for food!"

When Chu Qingyun realized that something was wrong, someone had already rushed towards her, probably because of the only jewelry on her body, the warm jade hairpin.

Chu Qingyun's eyes changed, before the man got close to her, Chu Qingyun's feet had already moved, kicking him back into the crowd.

"Intending to attack the imperial court official, it seems that I have to be sent to the villain's house for two days."

Chu Qingyun is not the Holy Mother, no matter how difficult she is, she can't have bad thoughts.

Butler Liu grabbed the man's collar, trying to drag him away, but the man shook his head: "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, my sister is starving to death, my lord, please help my sister."

Chu Qingyun followed his gaze, and saw a drenched girl lying under a tree, as thin as a stick, with two big sunken eyes, and there was only fear in them.

She was about the same age as Chu Qiuchi, and Chu Qingyun was soft-hearted, and she couldn't see children suffer, so she walked over.

"Tell sister, what happened to you?"

The girl shook her head.

"If you don't tell me, how can I help you?"

The girl looked at the captured man in a panic, and continued to shake her head.

"Little." Chu Qingyun nodded slightly.

Xiao Xiaoxiao: "For the sake of this little girl, let me ask you again, where are you from, where are you from? Why are you here?"

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense. The people who were fighting for porridge just now stopped and stared at the man's reaction.

Chu Qingyun continued: "I can save your sister, she will starve to death if she doesn't eat."

The man broke free from Uncle Liu, crawled over and grabbed Chu Qingyun's clothes: "I say, I say!"

"I……"

The man's words were stuck in his throat, his eyes suddenly widened, his pupils dilated, and his whole body fell back stiffly.

"Qingyun, look behind." Xiao Xiaoxiao pointed at the back of the man.

Chu Qingyun turned the body over, and saw a dagger stuck in the back of his chest. The dagger was tilted from bottom to top. From the perspective of the wound, it was done by the people around him.

Someone killed someone right in front of her eyes?

Chu Qingyun looked at the people at the scene who all lowered their heads to avoid her eyes, and the uneasiness in her heart became even greater.

With such a short distance, it is impossible for no one to see the murderer, but everyone lowered their heads, as if they were protecting a secret together.

"Brother—brother—" the girl roared, and ran over from under the tree. After walking a few steps, she fell to the ground due to malnutrition. Chu Qingyun felt guilty, and she approached the little girl: "Don't run, I The murderer must be found."

As she said that, Chu Qingyun wanted to touch the little girl's arm, but the goddess withdrew her hand with a "whoosh--".

"Uncle Liu, it's a good time to be buried. Let's make more porridge for everyone."

……

At night, Chu Qingyun went outside the city again. This time, she put on coarse clothes and found the girl from the day.

The girl recognized him at a glance, her face was full of panic, she opened her mouth to shout, but Chu Qingyun covered her mouth.

"Don't be afraid, I won't harm you." The little girl opened her big hazy eyes, which were full of vigilance.

"I'll eat it for you." Chu Qingyun took out a sweet fruit stuffed with red dates and bean paste, and took a bite of it herself: "It's not poisonous."

The little girl wanted to pick it up but didn't dare to pick it up, Chu Qingyun spread her hand, wiped his fingers clean with a handkerchief, and then put the sweet fruit into her palm.

The girl couldn't resist the temptation in the end, and stuffed everything into her mouth.

"Slow down, don't worry, there is water here."

The girl coughed lightly and gasped, "Give me something to eat, you are a good person, good person, go away, this place is scary."

"What do you mean?" Chu Qingyun's face changed, and she looked around cautiously.

The girl shook her head: "I can't say, they will kill me, they will kill me."

Chu Qingyun saw her miraculously becoming more and more flustered, and the scene of her brother's tragic death sounded in a hundred days, she slowed down her tone, and said politely: "Okay, I won't force you, why don't you tell me about your friends? Or family members?" ?”

The girl's eyes were red, and tears were streaming down: "It's gone, it's gone, they are all dead, and my brother is also dead."

Gone?

"Starved to death?"

The girl shook her head: "Sick, dead, many people, many people died."

Chu Qingyun pieced together a bit of shadow from her fragmentary information.

She glanced at Nanzheng, and asked in a low voice, "Have you heard of any floods and droughts recently? Or a disease?"

Nan Zheng shook his head.

"Yesterday Lord Huo came back from court and said that His Majesty is very happy, and that there will be no disease or disaster this year during the war, which is a good omen."

Chu Qingyun looked back at the little girl coldly, if it was not a last resort, who would throw away their family and work and come out to beg?
……

On the way back to the city, Chu Qingyun passed the teahouse.

Because His Majesty is happy, there will be a three-day celebration. On this big night, the business of the teahouse is still booming.

Chu Qingyun was not in a hurry to go home, but instead ran to the teahouse, where she sat and listened to stories from books.

"There are more refugees outside the city?"

"Where did this come from?"

"Who knows, those people didn't say anything, but what I heard sounds like the accent of Lin County."

"Didn't the county magistrate of Lin County take office not long ago?"

"Yes!"

……

Chu Qingyun frowned. Lin County is one of many counties on the outskirts of Zhongzhou. Although it is a small county, it is very close to Zhongzhou. Once something happens, there must be movement in Zhongzhou.

But now, the refugees have all fled outside the city gate, but the officials in Zhongzhou turned a blind eye, as stable as Mount Tai.

The more Chu Qingyun thought about it, the more wrong she became.

"Nan Zheng, go to Lin County to find out the truth!"

……

Nanzheng hurried on and returned within a day. During this day, the number of refugees in Zhongzhou City doubled.

"My lord, come out..."

"Nanzheng." Chu Qingyun glanced around, making sure there was no one around, and then asked, "What's going on?"

"My lord is very predictable. I went all the way to Linxian County. Linxian County ordered people to seal off the county seat, but there were still many people who dug holes and got out from the opening of the city wall. I heard from them that there was an epidemic in Linxian County."

Chu Qingyun's expression sank. In the ancient times when medical treatment was underdeveloped, the epidemic spread rapidly, and the treatment almost relied on earthen prescriptions. Once it spread, it would often lead to the destruction of the entire village and the entire city.

"My lord, what should I do?"

Chu Qingyun rubbed the pattern on the teacup with the hand holding the teacup.

Lin County is under the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou, she doesn't believe it, the magistrate of Lin County dares to hide such a big matter and not report it?

But in the huge Zhongzhou City, it was peaceful. It was obvious that someone intentionally disturbed Emperor Shengde's audio-visual, and regarded human life as cheap grass.

She shouldn't care, but she just can't give birth to such a hard heart.

Chu Qingyun suddenly exerted force on her hand, and the bone china teacup shattered into powder, fell on the table, and disappeared without a trace with a gust of wind!
