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

Chapter 400
A looting, the people who grabbed the food happily carried the food to the corner to eat, or went to find their own family members, the family wolfed down the food, and seemed to be eating steadily one after another, as if the food was theirs Same fate.

It is indeed life, and it is the only income for them to survive.

Those who didn't get the food showed despair, some sat down on the ground and cried, and some looked at the people who got the food with ferocious faces, wishing they could go up to grab their food and eat it for themselves.

It's just for some steamed buns, rice, and wheat. Many people have scuffled together.

Every punch they punched was exhausted, as if they wanted to tell those people to die so that they could live on.

"Spit it all out! These are all mine, all mine!"

"I want to eat, I want to live!"

"Please save my grandson, my grandson will really die if he doesn't have this mouthful of steamed buns! He will really die!"

A woman who looked extremely thin tightly held the steamed bun in her hand, her dirty face was full of pain, her mouth opened and kept screaming at the person who robbed her, as if she wanted to To defend her food.

But where do people who grab things care about this?
I can't survive myself, so what are other people's children?

The big man in the shape of a husk snatched the steamed bun from the woman's hand. He kicked the woman away with a grinning grin, and kicked the woman's heart straight with that kick, causing her to collapse on the ground for a long time. Did not slow down.

"Death is death. What is the life of a child like this? I think you don't care about that grandson. The most important thing is to find a way to live this life. Anyway, this steamed bun is mine now. You If you still think about it, come over and ask me if my fist will answer, and if you dare to grab my food, I will definitely beat you to death with one fist."

The mother-in-law saw that she hadn't eaten for several days, and she was starving to death, how could she have the ability to beat this man?
Even if she had enough to eat, the one with thin arms and legs would not be a match for a man.

The mother-in-law was lying on the ground weeping in despair, but the man was standing there happily eating the steamed buns in his hands. The faces of the people around him were already numb. It is very common for you to fight for me in today's Jiangnan matter.

"At first, I wanted to give some food to this woman, at least so that she and her grandson would not starve to death, but after thinking about it later, it was useless for me to help her at this moment. She has no self-protection power. Holding food will only be robbed by others, so the most important thing right now is to quickly open the granary for disaster relief."

All the granaries in the south of the Yangtze River were gathered together, and Su Xiaomu made a calculation in his heart. If all the granaries were opened for disaster relief, the people in the south of the Yangtze River could be supported for a month.

His Majesty attaches great importance to the disaster situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and when Gu Jingcheng finds the prefect of the south of the Yangtze River to report the specific disaster situation, he should receive the relief food soon, and then rebuild the broken dam, and the disaster situation in the south of the Yangtze River will end if he wants to.

Therefore, Su Xiaomu did not continue with the Heart of the Virgin, and she and Gu Jingcheng and his party continued to go to the magistrate's mansion.

Many disaster victims gathered at the gate of the magistrate's mansion. Unlike the streets in front, the victims here are obviously full of hostility. Their faces are full of hatred for the magistrate. The victims standing at the front They were all holding weapons, and they stood face to face with the guards guarding the magistrate's mansion, and their eyes were also full of hatred when looking at those guards.

The magistrate enjoys happiness in the mansion by himself, abandoning all the people affected by the disaster, this is really a good parent official!

Gu Jingcheng's face was inevitably livid with anger, and then he directly stepped forward to grab a victim at random, and asked indignantly, "Brother, what are you all doing here at the magistrate's mansion?"

"Why? It's not to make this damn magistrate hand over all the food. He didn't open the granary when Jiangnan was hit by the disaster. Instead, he secretly transferred all the food to his mansion, so that we, the victims of the disaster, can't eat a bite of food and have no way to survive. Don't leave it to us, right now we all want to force him, we are all here to force him out, let him immediately sacrifice this disaster with blood!"

The refugee held back by Gu Jingcheng was so angry that his teeth itched when he mentioned the magistrate, his face was distorted, and every word he said wanted to tell the magistrate to die.

"They are officials, rich people, it's okay to be a domineering person at ordinary times, but now they only know how to enjoy themselves when they encounter disasters, and we are not gathered here to let them hand over their money to relieve disasters. I just want them to spit out the part that belongs to the common people. Is there only food in the granary full of grain? That is obviously our life! It is our life!"

As he spoke, the man who was originally full of resentment suddenly lost his temper and began to cry bitterly.

"Has it reached such a point..."

When Gu Jingcheng heard the words, he never thought that things would develop like this, and he couldn't hide his sadness at this moment.

People are not people, officials are not officials, this is Jiangnan at the moment.

Gu Jingcheng suppressed the grief in his heart. He walked to the magistrate's mansion alone, faced all the refugees who were affected by the disaster, and said loudly: "Everyone, my name is Gu Jingcheng. I am the number one scholar of this spring, and I am also the special envoy sent by His Majesty to relieve the disaster. The disaster in the south of the Yangtze River was sudden, and the court was astonished to do disaster relief in the first time. Your Majesty originally hoped that he would open a granary with the prefect of the south of the Yangtze River to help the people. He never expected that he would be such a pleasure-seeking person. Don't worry, I will wait for you After finding out about the seizure of the granary by the magistrate, he will definitely deal with this matter according to the law and give everyone an explanation."

"Since I am the special envoy appointed by His Majesty, please believe me at this moment. In a maximum of two days, I can guarantee that the granary will be opened, and everyone in the south of the Yangtze River will be able to eat food, and people will eat whole grains. I understand everyone. Sadness after the disaster."

Gu Jingcheng's words are not insincere, but right now, no matter how beautiful Gu Jingcheng's words are, they are just empty promises.

Who would believe in something that cannot be fulfilled?

The eyes of the common people were still full of doubts. Gu Jingcheng still put on his most sincere face when he met these suspicious eyes: "I know that everyone has doubts about His Majesty and the court because of the matter of the prefect, thinking that His Majesty does not take Jiangnan to heart. , but I have come from thousands of miles away, and I can assure you that the disaster-stricken Jiangnan is not always in your majesty's heart and the court's heart. Today, he presides over the government and ignores the people and only knows how to enjoy himself. Chuxin, once I find out the truth, I will definitely speak out this bad breath on behalf of His Majesty and all the people, and personally punish him!"
