Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 637 The Poor Man
The man was in his thirties, and although he was in his prime, he was very thin and his back was bent.He was not as strong as Zijin, so he didn't grab it all at once, so he greeted the others.

"Everyone surround them quickly, everyone will have something to eat!"

With the sound, these people rushed over in a swarm, surrounding Liu Yunxiang and the others.

Zijin hurriedly protected Liu Yunxiang, and at the same time drew out the sword at his waist.

Liu Yunxiang looked at these people, men and women, old and young, all dressed in rags, staring at the bamboo basket in Zijin's hand, many swallowed.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

A five or six-year-old girl was dirty all over, with withered and yellow hair and a yellow face. She was probably very hungry and cried when she spoke.

These people surrounded their master and servant tightly, Zijin was afraid that these people would rush up, and she would not be able to protect her master alone, so she turned around and said, "Girl, slave, please give them this basket?"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly said, "No way!"

"But……"

"Don't give it to them!"

Seeing Liu Yunxiang's resolute attitude, although Zijin was worried, it was worth holding on to the food box in his hand.

"Madam, we haven't eaten for two or three days. We finally escaped from the inside. We just want to survive. If you don't lack this food, just give it to us." It was an old woman who spoke. This child is about the same age as the little girl, "I'm old, it doesn't matter, just give my grandson a bite to eat."

Others begged Liu Yunxiang, and others wanted to grab it.

"People outside of them think we are mice, so they don't care about our life or death. Don't talk nonsense with them, just grab them!"

"Yes, seeing how well they are dressed, they must have brought a lot of money with them, so grab them together!"

"Anyway, the people from the government are arresting us everywhere. If we are caught, we will be killed. So what are you afraid of? We can live every day!"

Someone booed, and these people began to agitate.

"There are buns in the food box, meat buns, just out of the cage." Liu Yunxiang shouted.

When these people heard this, their eyes lit up one by one, and several children couldn't help drooling.Someone wanted to come up to grab it, but the quilt blocked it with a sword.

"But there are only three buns."

She took it for Yan Mu, so naturally not many.

"Give it to us!" shouted a man in front.

"I can give it to you, but how do you divide it?"

There was a moment of silence below, and the middle-aged man shouted: "Of course whoever snatched it!"

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, "So what should you do with those who are destined not to be able to grab them?"

Old and weak women and children, look at me and I look at you. There are only three buns, and there are not enough young and middle-aged people in the crowd, let alone them.They couldn't help lowering their heads one after another, and some even stepped back.

Zijin now understands why Liu Yunxiang refused to give them the food box just now, "The girl is afraid that when they are fighting for it, the old and the young will not only be unable to grab it, but may also be injured."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "However, the fire broke out in the Shannian camp last night. They escaped last night. How can they say that they haven't eaten for two or three days? Could it be that the court cut off their food while they were inside?"

The family members of the guilty officials were reduced to slavery, and Yazi sold them first, and those who could not be sold were imprisoned in the Shannian camp.This kindness camp is like a big cage, the people inside will be locked here for life, unable to go out, naturally they will not be able to make money.The imperial court will distribute silver, at least to ensure that they will not starve to death.

The imperial court actually didn't want to give this amount of money, so after the Ninth Prince ascended the throne in the previous life, Jin You wanted to secretly deal with the people in the Shannian Camp, and Lu Chang'an pleaded for them, which resulted in his death.

Later, a fire broke out in the Shannian camp, and the court refused to open the door, and everyone inside was burned to death.She still remembered that after the fire, the people of Shengjing clapped their hands and praised, saying that the gang of rats finally died.

But those are human lives, hundreds of human lives.

Just like last night, if Yan Mu hadn't rushed over, these people would have been burned to death.

"Ma'am!" The old woman knelt down on the ground, "I beg you to give my grandson one, he can't stand it anymore!"

"Why, we haven't eaten for several days, and we can't bear it anymore." The young and strong shouted.

"Give it to the children!" Someone suggested.

"Big fellows who don't want to live, why give it up to others."

"We in the Shannian camp are all affectionate and righteous."

"Hey, I can't save my life, love is nothing."

They were booing inside, talking to each other, and they were about to fight.

Liu Yunxiang came back to his senses, sighed first, then took out his purse and lifted it up, "I have money."

When the big guy saw the bulging purse, he rushed to grab it impulsively, but the quilt was kicked out.

"With money, can you buy food? Look at this street, all the shops are closed." Liu Yunxiang put away his purse, "But if you trust me, I will buy it for you."

Some people didn't believe it, but Zijin's fist was hard, and he would beat anyone who rushed up.After convincing the young people who took the lead, the remaining old and weak women and children knew that they couldn't grab it, so they might as well believe in Liu Yunxiang, and they might be able to eat.

Liu Yunxiang asked these people to wait in the alley, and she took Zijin to knock on those closed shops and bought all the buns and steamed buns they hadn't sold.

They took it back and distributed it to these people.

Everyone got it, the big guys were really hungry, and they were eating one by one.

The Shannian camp was a major concern of the imperial court. It couldn't be dealt with, and the arrangement was improper, making Shengjing uneasy, and the treasury was tight.Liu Yunxiang asked the old woman sitting outside how the fire started last night.

The old woman shook her head, "Who knows, it caught fire suddenly, and once it burned, it was a large area. Anyway, when we escaped, half of the house had been burned."

A skinny man next to him said, "It's winter again. Although those houses are broken, they can at least provide shelter from the wind. Right now...hey, I'm afraid the imperial court won't care about us."

"We can survive today, but I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this winter."

Liu Yunxiangmo, she knows that this year's winter is very cold, not to mention the Shannian camp, many people outside also froze to death.

When they were about to eat, the official sent over.These people did not resist any more, and obediently lined up and followed.Probably because he knew that there was no way out outside, so it was better to go back, Xu Chaoting could still take care of it.

Liu Yunxiang, master and servant, came out of the alley. There were many officials on the street. The fire should have been extinguished, and they were arresting those who escaped from the Shannian Camp.

Dahei was seen on the road, and he and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment were maintaining order on the street.

Liu Yunxiang walked over and saw that Dahei and the others had arrested someone, and they were swarming around.

"Cover the criminal, help him escape, and commit the same crime, do you understand the law?" Dahei was a little annoyed.

Liu Yunxiang went around and saw that the one he was scolding was actually a little girl.

The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, frowning and pursing her lips, obviously not convinced.Liu Yunxiang tilted his head and looked around, feeling as if he had seen this girl somewhere.

When the girl saw her, her eyes lit up, "Sister Bodhisattva!"
