After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 399
"We have to send a team of people out to explore the road first, and find out how the disaster situation in the south of the Yangtze River is. This time it came suddenly, and I don't know how to ask the local officials if they have sorted out the record of the disaster."

Su Xiaomu frowned and thought about what they were going to do next: "But we brought few people out this time, if we spread them out, we won't be able to do other things for a while, and right now...our safety is at stake. Find a way to stay safe."

The current situation in Jiangnan is unknown. Although Su Xiaomu is very eager to get the people out of the current predicament, he has no intention of putting them in a dangerous situation.

The people in the south of the Yangtze River now lack food, clothing and housing.

Of course, there is also a lack of a solution to the flood.

The broken dam also needs to be repaired as soon as possible.

"That's the reason. Let's move forward together. Things can be more complicated, but we must not lose our safety."

Gu Jingcheng brought Su Xiaomu with him this time. Su Xiaomu is a smart person, but he doesn't know much about self-protection.

The same goes for Gu Jingcheng.

Both of them need the protection of the people around them, so there is no need to act so fast at this moment and cause any trouble for themselves later.

They walked forward together, and the number of refugees and beggars on the street only increased a lot.

These refugees and beggars who were affected by the disaster didn't have much reaction when they saw Su Xiaomu and the others. Everyone was so hungry and tired that they didn't bring anything to eat. There was no need to loot them, so they only occasionally looked curiously. Take a look at them, and then lie on the ground weakly, trying not to waste any energy.

Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng's plan was to go to the government office to check the situation first, but before they walked out of the street, they suddenly heard a commotion, looked up and saw a large group of people suddenly rushed into the street, gathered in front of the street to make a noise Yelling, it seems that there are signs of mob riots.

This is strange. After the disaster, there was no food or drink. Most of the people were lying on the road and only had the ability to breathe. so serious.

Su Xiaomu pulled Gu Jingcheng and quietly approached those people, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

But those people were too loud, Su Xiaomu and the others didn't take a few steps, and they heard everything they said.

"How long have we been flooded in the south of the Yangtze River? It's okay that the imperial court has not sent officials to relieve the disaster. They even refused to open the granaries around them. People who suffered from disasters would not be able to eat a mouthful of hot food. They still look at the food in the granary. The pile of food is full of stares, which court has such a reason? The emperor doesn’t care about those of us who are affected by the disaster, and the magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River only cares about his family’s life and death. Such an unkind court, unkind and frugal parents and officials, Do we need to work hard for him again?"

The big man standing at the front was insulting the local officials of the imperial court.

There was not even a shred of respect for the imperial court in the words, and they pointed directly at the emperor.

And the people around him also echoed a lot, and everyone was excited, wishing to go directly to the capital at this moment, so that the officials who enjoy themselves in the capital would also feel the feeling, what is meant by a catastrophe.

"Brother is right! We people in the south of the Yangtze River will never sacrifice our lives for the emperor! We will not sacrifice our lives for the imperial court!"

"Anyway, we won't be able to eat. Instead of continuing to eat soil and gnaw bark, we might as well just go and break up those granaries. Look at these refugees lying on the ground. Whose life is their life? That's how it is going to be. Do you want to continue to ruin? That rotten man lived a comfortable life. He closed the door and continued to eat and drink. The guards surrounded the house every day. There was no chance for them to go in and catch him. The lives of the people are very important to these officials. , it is not as good as an ant on the bottom of their feet, and the ant will let them live."

"..."

After hearing what these people said, Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng's expressions became very ugly.

Su Xiaomu really couldn't find words to describe his mood at this moment.

It is true that the imperial court has never sent officials to provide disaster relief, and it is true that many officials in Beijing only know how to enjoy themselves and are unwilling to come to this troubled water.

But they did not expect that there was obviously a granary in the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, but the magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River was reluctant to take it out. He actually lived alone in a corner to enjoy himself, without paying attention to the life and death of the people at all.

"Right now... we still need to find the prefect of Jiangnan quickly."

Su Xiaomu himself was too embarrassed to go up to the people and tell them not to have any objections to the court, after all the emperor had sent Gu Jingcheng, a special envoy.

It is normal for people to have opinions.

It was they who were hit by a disaster, and their family was displaced, and they had to live a miserable life of displacement.

"The people in the south of the Yangtze River are so dissatisfied with the imperial court. If the local officials don't care about it, I'm afraid it will cause a catastrophe. The south of the Yangtze River is not far from the capital. If there is a rebellion here, and the people from the Western Regions are still in the capital, then this... will definitely be Big Chen, big crisis."

Gu Jingcheng could clearly see the pros and cons of this, and knew that they must resolve the Jiangnan crisis as soon as possible.

The flood is over, and the broken dam must be properly repaired.

"The truth is indeed the truth. Right now we are not suitable to have disputes with these people who are angry in their hearts. The prefect's mansion is not far ahead. I want to see whether the prefect who is greedy for pleasure is in the middle of a catastrophe." How did you live a good life?"

Su Xiaomu hated these officials who did not regard the lives of the common people as life. Although she wished that the magistrate would die at the moment, there was still a sense of clarity in her heart, which made her think clearly.

Why didn't those granaries full of grain release grain to the people?

Why can officials watch people die?Let them linger on the streets, refusing to repair even a temporary place to stay?

They continued to lead the people forward, and when they were about one street away from the prefect's mansion, Su Xiaomu and the others heard punches and kicks coming from the front again, and looked over, this time, it wasn't that someone was loudly plotting against the villains, Instead, they gathered crowds to make trouble and started grabbing food.

The victims on this street are still ragged and unkempt, but they look much more energetic than those on the previous street. At this moment, they are all rushing to a carriage, and their countless arms are crazily grabbing into the carriage. It is to tear the carriage apart.

Su Xiaomu's sharp eyes saw the steamed buns on the carriage, and all the rice was snatched up.

In today's situation, I don't know who has the ability to pack so much food.

But it's useless right now, because everything has been robbed.
