Chapter 119 Chaos

With the arrival of relatives from Jiang Dalin's ancestral family, there were many refugees in the county unknowingly. Jiang He went to the county and came back to ask his family not to go to the county for the time being, because the county is a bit chaotic now.

Ning was worried: "Does the government not care about it?"

Jiang He shook his head: "The local government's ability is limited. There are so many refugees appearing at once, even if they want to, they can't do it. But if the imperial court is willing to take action, the situation should be brought under control soon."

"It stands to reason that if the prefect of Qingyang reported the disaster situation immediately, the support from the imperial court should have almost arrived."

What Jiang He didn't know was that in the capital thousands of miles away, the emperor was unconscious because of an assassination, and his life was dying. The emperor's dozen sons were divided into several factions, and they were fighting for the position of the emperor. The courtiers are also busy standing in line to grab seats, how can they have time to deal with natural disasters?
The prefect of Qingyang did hand over memorials one after another, but they were not taken seriously at all, and there were several memorials asking for help from the imperial court because of natural disasters, but all of them were ignored without exception.

Seeing the passing of time day by day, there was no response from the court. The prefect of Qingyang could only bear the pressure and lead the people to rebuild their homes. In fact, rebuilding their homes is simple, and the most important thing is food.

So many affected people were destroyed not only their homes, but also their food.

A person can live without a house for a month, but he cannot live without food for a month.

The daily rations of so many affected people is a very large number.

The grain reserves in Qingyang Prefecture are limited, and even though the prefect of Qingyang has saved every province, the grain in the warehouse is still decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As time went by, some frail victims died of starvation and disease one after another...

This is the case even in Fucheng, and even more so in surrounding counties.

As the disease raged among the victims, but the imperial court remained unresponsive, the emotions of the victims became more and more unstable.

On this day, Jiang Ning went to the city to pick up the mace he had customized more than a month ago.

The owner of the iron shop was very happy to see Jiang Ning: "It's not peaceful in the county recently, I plan to rest for a while, I have been waiting for you for the past few days, fortunately you are here."

After Jiang Ning checked that there was no problem with the mace, he readily paid the balance and took advantage of the opportunity to learn about the situation in the city with the blacksmith owner?
The boss told Jiang Ning that there are thousands of victims in the county. These victims were arranged in the north of the city at first. The county magistrate sent someone to build a grass shed for them. He would arrange a meal for them every day, but because the imperial court has not supported them. The news came that the magistrate's rescue ability was getting smaller and smaller, so after the victims died of starvation and disease, the victims had begun to refuse to obey the discipline.

Now there are lootings by disaster victims in the county every day. For safety, many businesses are closed and no one is doing business. There are few people walking alone on the street. A pretty girl like Jiang is not easy Going out, so the boss suggested that Jiang Ning take the mace and go home quickly instead of staying outside.

Jiang Ning thanked the boss, picked up the mace and left the blacksmith shop, thought for a while, then turned around and walked north of the city.

Before she could reach the north of the city, she saw many victims who were starving and emaciated.

When these victims saw Jiang Ning, they wanted to come forward to beg for things, but they were afraid of the mace she was carrying on their shoulders and dared not go forward.

Jiang Ning walked all the way to the temporary shelter set up by the county government and saw more victims.

In such a short period of one month, most of these victims lost their appearance.

When Jiang Ning appeared in the shelter, some victims cast eager eyes on her, and when they found that she had no food except a mace on her shoulder, these victims turned their eyes back.

But not everyone is not interested in Jiang Ning.

No, when Jiang Ning was looking at the victims, several men stood up from the victims and surrounded Jiang Ning calmly.

Jiang Ning noticed that with the appearance of these men, the gazes on her suddenly became more intense. Some of these gazes were mixed with concern, some were mixed with spectators, and some were mixed with malice.

Jiang Ning calmly looked at the men who surrounded him, they were all guys who didn't look like good people: "Get out of the way!"

One of the men asked Jiang Ning what his name was and what he was doing here, and even stretched out his black claws to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning smiled at the man, and then directly put the mace on his instep.

The man screamed in pain.

Seeing this, the men's companions wanted to beat Jiang Ning to save his companions, but Jiang Ning kicked them away one by one, leaving only the man who was kicked by him.

The man whose foot was hit originally wanted to take the mace away, but the mace on his foot seemed to have taken root, and no matter how hard he tried, it would not move.

After seeing Jiang Ning kicking his companions away one by one, the man realized that Jiang Ning was not easy to mess with, so he apologized to Jiang Ning and asked Jiang Ning to let him go.

Jiang Ning silently glanced at the man, then picked up the mace.

The man immediately collapsed to the ground hugging his feet.

At this time, a woman rushed out from the shelter of the victims and ran to the man crying and howling. When she saw the man's feet being smashed by Jiang Ning, she was so angry that she wanted to attack Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning directly raised the mace and pointed it at the woman. The spikes on the mace almost pierced the woman's eyes.

The sudden sense of oppression made the woman dare not move.

If she hadn't stopped so fast just now, her eyes would have been pierced by the spikes of the mace, which made the woman break out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Ning looked at the woman coldly: "It was your man who brought a group of men around and tried to touch me. I was just fighting back. Why, they can bully me, but I can't bully them back?"

"Your man doesn't look like a good man with his mischievous eyebrows. When he came out to bully people, he didn't see you to stop him. When he was hurt, you felt distressed. You are not a good person."

"If you want to play tricks on me, first ask yourself if your head is as hard as my mace!"

woman:"……"

Jiang Ning looked at the other victims and found that many victims looked at him with a little fear in their eyes, but some victims had gratitude in their eyes. If nothing else, these victims with gratitude in their eyes should have been tortured. She kicked away the bullying of these men.

Thinking of the blacksmith's boss saying that the victims of the disaster are more irritable recently, Jiang Ning thinks that someone must be deliberately inciting everyone's emotions.

In fact, it has been more than a month since the earthquake. Except for the most severely affected Qinglin County, the victims in other places can go back to their hometowns and rebuild their homes. They don’t have to wait for the rescue of the court. In society, most of those waiting for rescue died in the end, and those who survived chose to be self-reliant.
