After a tragic death, the mismatched female partner was killed back

Chapter 121 The Wrong Queen in Gong Du Wen 27
Even the air he breathed into his lungs felt extremely hot.

During the day there is almost no trace of human presence.

Bai Zhaozhao felt his heart twitch when he saw it.

In the capital, we only knew that the south was suffering from drought, but we didn't expect that it had reached such a serious stage.

Wen Nanxi took advantage of his good kung fu and went directly to the front to inquire about the situation.

Bai Zhaozhao followed the others to rest under the shade of a tree.

Drink some water from the bag.

I just feel better.

A quarter of an hour later, Wen Nanxi came back sweating profusely.

Bai Zhaozhao looked at his sunburned face and quickly asked someone to bring him water.

Wen Nanxi felt alive after drinking it.

"Miss Bai... I just went to the front to check, and there was no one around at all. Maybe the weather was too hot, and the people went to take shelter in the shade.

I think we can rest where we are first, eat some dry food, and wait until the sun sets before we go exploring around the city.

Let’s see if the relief grain distributed by the imperial court has been distributed to the people? "

After hearing this, Bai Zhaozhao nodded in agreement. Everyone was very tired from the journey, so they each found a shady place and rested on the spot.

Bai Zhaozhao was a little tired all the way, because he was doing some research at night.

She closed her eyes and rested.

And the four handsome men who spend money have always stayed by Bai Zhaozhao's side conscientiously and never left.

As night fell, Bai Zhaozhao went to the southern city.

As it gets darker, some villagers have already appeared one after another.

Each of them has a sallow complexion and thin skin.

His eyes were full of anxious longing.

Are you just in a hurry and don't know where you are going?

Han Wenbai grabbed a dark and thin old man and asked, "Old man, where are you going?"

I saw the old man sizing up Bai Zhaozhao and his group.

His eyes were shining, and his voice was hoarse and he begged humbly: "Do you have water bags on you? Can you give me some water? I have several children at home who are dying of thirst."

Bai Zhaozhao asked someone to take off the water bag and hand it to the old man.

The old man's eyes immediately turned red when he saw this.

He didn't have high hopes, considering how precious water resources are now.

Of course he knew it was more valuable than gold.

This group of people are either rich or expensive in their clothing.

But he was willing to give him the water bag. He didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.I could only kneel on the ground and kowtow continuously: "Thank you for your great kindness..."

Bai Zhaozhao had someone help him up.

Did they ask if they had received the relief food distributed by the court?

The old man drank some water and said slowly as he walked home.

It turned out that there had never been such a severe drought in the south before.

The people used to live a life that could not be said to be rich and noble.

But he can still rely on his hands to be self-sufficient.

Because they are rich in resources, coupled with the climate and unique local environment.

The crops are very productive every year.

The grain collected by the imperial court from them was twice that elsewhere.

Originally, they were not too worried about the severe drought because they had plenty of food.

Unexpectedly, the former southern county magistrate did not care about their life or death for the sake of his own political achievements.

It is necessary to collect grain according to last year's amount and hand it over to the court.

They must turn it in on time, otherwise they will be arrested and locked up in a cell.

The common people were unarmed and did not dare to confront the Yamen officials who were armed with weapons.

He had no choice but to hand over food.

After paying for the food, the family bottomed out.

Many people have no food to eat and have to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

But the weather is too hot, and more and more people are digging wild vegetables.

In the end there was nothing left and they were thirsty and hungry every day.

Everyone thought they would not survive this year.

At this moment, relief grains from the imperial court were distributed.

I heard that the county magistrate was changed at this time.

That's why the food was distributed to the people.

Although it wasn't much, they were finally able to survive.

Bai Zhaozhao knew that when Rong Xuan became emperor, he was just fighting for fame and fortune, and he didn't care about the lives of the people at all.

It was she who reminded her grandfather.

My grandfather had just sent the previous county magistrate to be escorted back to Beijing, and he was already in jail.
