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

Chapter 401 is Light
When Gu Jingcheng said so many words, Su Xiaomu wondered if the people below believed him?
She only knew that she was watching and listening to every word he uttered, and she admired and admired his appearance at the moment.

Su Xiaomu always thought that Gu Jingcheng was a weak scholar, even though he had shown his extraordinary talent in the court's strategy, but those were just brainstorming, mostly for himself.

People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.

Su Xiaomu doesn't admire the core of this sentence, but to some extent he doesn't deny the "rightness" of this sentence.

But at this moment, Gu Jingcheng made Su Xiaomu truly feel the radiance of being a parent official in him.

It is really for the people to seek practical things and worry about the livelihood of the people.

The process of investigating the Jiangnan magistrate is not troublesome. All the people in Jiangnan city can prove that the magistrate usually corrupts the people and anoints the people. After a disaster, he does not care about the lives of the people. To put it bluntly, Gu Jingcheng can participate in his deliberate rebellion with these actions of the Jiangnan magistrate.

Half of the entourage who went to the south of the Yangtze River with Gu Jingcheng were the Imperial Forest Army dispatched by His Majesty, and half were the soldiers of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

Although there are not many of them, only more than [-] people, all of them have been selected after thousands of selections and training. Therefore, facing the soldiers of the prefect of the south of the Yangtze River is like touching an egg with a stone. Backhand power.

This Jiangnan magistrate is called Chen Yulian, who originally lived in the fourth rank of the imperial court and has a bright future.

But I don't know who I offended, and was demoted to Jiangnan after being read by a civil servant. Although Jiangnan is a rich place, the people's civilization time is too short, and its status is not comparable to some bitter cold places in the north.

So this Chen Yulian didn't take Jiangnan very seriously all the time. Thinking of his hopeless career, he often drank and had fun in the mansion, and completely lost the nature of being an official. Every day when he locked himself in the mansion, he lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, most of what he thought was to survive today, who cares what will happen tomorrow?
When Gu Jingcheng sent troops to arrest him, he didn't even resist at all. After laughing a few times without hesitation, he directly hit his neck on the sword to die.

According to this incident in Jiangnan, this Mr. Chen must not be regarded as a good official.

But Su Xiaomu also heard that he also came from a small place in the past. He just became an official for one of his parents. He also loved the people like a son and really cared about the needs of the people.

But I don't know if the capital will really change a person, or if he can't bear the influence of prosperity and wealth, he has long forgotten the way he came here.

Gu Jingcheng cut off Master Chen's head with his own hands. He picked up Master Chen's loose hair and lifted it up. When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he threw it on the ground for the people to see.

When the disaster-stricken people saw Master Chen's head, they all laughed heartily.

Those who had the strength held their stomachs and laughed, and those who had no strength covered their mouths. The tiny smiles appeared from between their fingers. Everyone was very happy that such corrupt officials had been rectified.

"It's good to die! It's really good to die!"

"My family has never survived this flood except for me. It is a pity that they were not drowned by the water, but they were starved to death without food. If the special envoy can come earlier and kill this dog officer earlier, we The whole family will not reach this point! My poor little granddaughter will only be one year old!"

"Only one child died in my family, but it was my child who was pregnant in October. He was fat when he was born. I thought he was the strongest child in our family. I didn't expect that he would have no milk after giving birth. He was actually starved to death!"

The common people each have their own grief, each has its own misery.

But the only thing that was the same was that they were celebrating Master Chen's death.

After Mr. Chen died, all the food in the prefect's mansion was emptied.

The imperial court should have provided relief food, but Gu Jingcheng didn't know if the third prince would release the food so easily.

So right now he can only rely on this batch of grain to temporarily let the people in the south of the Yangtze River survive the dangerous situation, and at least let everyone have the ability to build dams after they have enough food.

Thousands of grains, of course, will not all be placed in the magistrate's mansion.

Chen Yulian hid them in other places. After his death, the people under his command could not be said to be loyal. Before Gu Jingcheng had time to force them to ask where the food was kept, they had already honestly told the whole story about the food.

The whole three granaries were full of grain, and Gu Jingcheng used them all for disaster relief with a big wave of his hand. It was still at the gate of the magistrate's mansion, and the life-saving grain was distributed to the people one by one, so that they had the ability to survive.

"Finally eat! Finally, I won't starve to death!"

"What a delicious porridge! I almost forgot what rice tastes like."

"I'm so hungry, give me a bite first! These steamed buns are so white, I can eat two in one go!"

"Is there any rice soup? Please give me some rice soup. The child is too young to drink porridge."

Seeing the piles of food piled up in front of the magistrate's mansion, and seeing Gu Jingcheng and Su Xiaomu serving the porridge in person, the victims were full of desire for food and grateful for the two of them.

All the victims gathered around, but no one robbed them. Seeing the food full of food, everyone felt confident, and then lined up in unison.

The people of Dachen are the people of Dachen after all, even at this moment, everyone has never been irrational.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jingcheng twitched his eyebrows slightly, and his emotions became more complicated, but he didn't speak, but picked up the spoon and started serving porridge.

Su Xiaomu was in charge of distributing the steamed buns. She looked at the bony bodies of the victims in front of her eyes, looked at their eyes full of hope, and their fighting spirit. She couldn't help but think of the ones she saw in TV dramas and the history books. those that were written.

I only know that in the face of disasters, people who are helpless are mostly miserable, but they are not as miserable as they thought.

Her heart was beating violently, and she didn't know what to say about the distress in it.

Fortunately, everyone still does not lack hope in despair, and still has a positive heart.

The old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, men, women, and children all came to receive food honestly.

No one looted, and no one questioned that the portion in their hands was not enough, and they greedily wanted more.

Everyone is trying to seize every chance to survive, to seize their only hope now.

This is the most helpless and distressing scene.
