Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 50 Guess
He didn't act on the surface, but he didn't expect to be so thoughtful. Officials would change from time to time. It would take countless hours to fill in so many positions, and he had always exhausted his thoughts.

He landed his hand on a part of the map and explained to her: "The area I pointed to is under the jurisdiction of the prime minister's elder brother. Although the land is vast and rich in resources, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. It rains heavily all the year round, and countless dams were built to prevent floods. "

Su Lijin lowered her eyes upon hearing the sound, but saw that in addition to the names of the officials, the location of the dam was also marked with a red pen. Looking at the continuous red traces, she realized the seriousness of the matter and frowned.

But I saw Xiao Shengyun holding a vermilion pen, circled the name of the person on the sheepskin scroll, and let out a long sigh: "The reason why the riot was caused was because the people were flooded because of a problem with the dam. , either did not report it, or was shielded by the prime minister."

The picture of the common people living in dire straits and starving all over the place seemed to appear in front of them through a few words, even Hei Qi, who was the most deserted among the three, couldn't bear to think about it, Su Lijin's eyes were full of disgust.

"To cover up is to be an inhumane official, to connive elder brother to abuse the common people, and to not cover up is to bully others and pretend to be a tiger. In any case, he should step down as soon as possible, and give justice to the innocent people." After saying that, he clenched his fists, as if he wanted to teach the prime minister a lesson. .

The original dull atmosphere was broken just because of this, Xiao Shengyong smiled sullenly and looked at the person in front of him, wearing black clothes and making these actions, every time it was beyond his expectation.

He shook his head when he heard the words, and when he thought of the guy who was still safe and sound in Beijing, he sighed: "It's not as easy as you said to get this old fox out of power, if you can do it with a touch of mouth, it would be great .”

Although it is half joking and half serious, it is undoubtedly the truth.

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment, Su Lijin half propped her head in thought, saw Xiao Shengying put away the sheepskin roll, and then changed into clothes.

Su Lijin was just about to ask where he was going, when he turned around with a solemn expression.

Xiao Shengyun looked out the window, it was not two hours since he had just finished eating, but there were a few more strange beggars on the street, and things were far worse than he imagined.

After pondering for a moment, he made a decision: "You guys pack up, tomorrow we are going to the town with the most mobs."

At dawn the next day, Xiao Er helped a few people to bring the horse.

They drove off into the distance in a hurry, and Xiao Er looked thoughtfully at the traces of the few people leaving, and murmured: "That's Qinghe Town."

This time it was not as far away as the previous trip, and it only took three hours to reach the destination, looking at the three characters engraved on the stone tablet next to it.

Qinghe Town.

Su Lijin had heard that there are beautiful mountains and rivers here, and there are many wealthy businessmen, but the scene in front of him shattered his fantasy.

The street in front of me was full of refugees in ragged clothes and sunken cheeks. Some of them were even fighting for steamed buns soiled by sewage.

"Be honest and don't fight! If you dare to make trouble again, you will be thrown into prison."

A few yamen servants with knives were patrolling the street. They said that the prison was actually just a few simple cages. When they saw someone fighting, they hurried forward.

Seeing the light of the knife, those few people naturally didn't dare to continue to make mistakes, and ran away quickly.

Most of them are refugees with their eyes closed, not knowing whether they are dead or alive. This is what the three of them saw in Qinghe Town. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a purgatory on earth.

After the yamen servants with knives left, the refugees who had kept their own law and order became restless again, but this time their goal was not the steamed buns just now, and these people walked towards this alley with bright eyes.

Not long after, I heard an immature child's voice, crying in a crying voice.

"Don't take my pie! Don't take my pie!"

When Su Lijin walked to the entrance of the alley, she saw the poor child being pressed to the ground, holding half a piece of cake in her arms and refusing to let go. Several skinny men were there grabbing the little girl's food.

Looking at this scene, she couldn't help but rush forward.

Su Lijin, who has martial arts, is no match for ordinary people who don't have enough food and clothing to keep them down.

She lifted the children on the ground and asked them angrily: "Don't you feel ashamed to bully a child?"

Unexpectedly, what he got in exchange was a sneer.

A few people were so hungry that they didn't care about the so-called face at all. They picked up the wooden sticks on the ground, pointed the sharp side at Su Li, and said in a high-sounding way: "It's none of your business. Who doesn't need food now? It's not as cheap as it is." It’s better to let us live on if you don’t use the girl.”

Seeing that the woman in black had no intention of backing down, she still protected the child behind her back, not giving an inch.

Their patience was worn out by hunger, and they cursed ferociously: "Go away, don't meddle in your own business, be sensible and hand over your things, don't think you are a woman and we will be soft-hearted!"

One of them couldn't even hold back and threw the stick in his hand.

Su Lijin raised her hand to catch it, and then crushed it in front of several people. She looked at these people with contempt from the beginning to the end, and sneered aloud: "Don't dare to do it, after all, you can do it to little girls. How can I, a woman, be lucky?"

Only then did they remember that the woman in black in front of them had knocked them down all by herself, but...

The strongest one held the stick in his hand, whispered a few words to the brothers around him, and then rushed towards her together: "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

mean.

Su Lijin cursed secretly in her heart, she wanted to do something, but the black figure rushed outside her to settle the matter, Xiao Shengyun appeared in front of several people with a smile, behind him was Hei Qi who was elusive, and there were a few people on the ground who were beaten Afraid, did not continue to climb up.

But maybe there was too much movement, attracting other people, and the situation was not so good for Xiao Shengyun and others. A familiar voice came.

Xiao Shengyun said with a smile: "Tomorrow there will be porridge here, but there will never be troublemakers like you."

The refugees who were about to move stopped when they heard the word "porridge", and then burst into chirping discussions. There were many voices of suspicion, but there were cheers mixed with them.

How many people still have hope for this, and being alive is more important than anything else.

Hearing those words, those who grabbed the cake just now stumbled up from the ground, and ran away after a while.

After watching those people run away, Su Lijin squatted down, looked at the dirty little girl in front of her, her eyes were full of distress for her.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped the little girl's face: "It's all right, we drove those people away."

A good child, who became like this because of the famine, the more Su Li looked at it, the more distressed she became.

The extravagance in the capital is in stark contrast to the starvation here.
