Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1183 Still need to move forward

"Somebody come!"

With an order, several close guards knelt down in front of Liu Yao.

Liu Yao spoke loudly: "Xiao ordered the remaining seventeen counties to implement the disaster relief regulations in an orderly manner while taking the best precautions."

"Everyone must be more vigilant. If there are any omissions or failure to fulfill their responsibilities, I will pick off their heads after taking their positions."

The guards all said in unison: "Yes!"

As a result, seventeen documents were quickly drawn up and sent to various counties.

In addition to Liu Yao's orders, the document also attached the real-time situation of each county, indicating that they were well aware of the situation in various places in Jiangbei.

If there are officials who want to cheat, they can't hide it from their eyes.

Therefore, if these officials want to obey the law and violate the law, they have to weigh the cost.

From Liu Yao's order to the document being sent out, the whole process lasted for nearly an hour.

The accompanying officials were all as silent as a cicada.

The atmosphere is quite heavy.

During this period, Magistrate Yu was always kneeling.

By the end, his legs were stiff and his body was covered in sweat.

Because he has long realized that he is the poor chicken being used to wait.

If his incident cannot play a role in knocking other counties down, then he will only be worse off.

Until his example can shock the rest of the county.

Thinking of this, his body trembled heavily.

He asked with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

Liu Yao's voice seemed to come from deep in the clouds: "Not yet, take these people back and resettle them."

Magistrate Yu did not dare to delay and quickly ordered the government officials to take the surviving people with them.

Just when the county magistrate was about to say goodbye and leave, Liu Yao looked at an official named Wei:

"The situation is serious, and when the county magistrate may be unable to do anything, you go and assist the county magistrate until the disaster is over."

The official surnamed Wei said respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness."

Magistrate Yu lowered his head and turned his eyes around, but in the end he did not dare to say anything and led the Yamen servants to lead the survivors to leave.

At this time, after Bai Mingwei returned, more than a hundred guards sent out also completed their mission.

They dug a big pit to bury the massacred refugees.

A big dirt bag with hundreds of lives buried inside.

The tombstone was simply erected, with no one's name engraved on it.

Just remember the date and the number of people killed, male and female.

Letting the refugees who were able to pick up the corpses to rest in their graves was the limit of what they could do at this time.

Those who survived were unable to say a final farewell to their loved ones, so they could only follow the county magistrate and government servants towards the only way forward where they had hope of survival.

When the team left, the cries of farewell still lingered in this ancient and gloomy dense forest.

Watching the mighty team drifting away, with the sound of crying still blowing in the wind in his ears, Liu Yao took a few deep breaths.

He looked away and shifted his gaze to his hands.

The palms and backs of his hands were stained with blood, but he didn't care.

When the hand was clenched, the swollen veins made the blood stains even more hideous and terrifying.

He asked Bai Mingwei: "Can these girls and children who were taken away...can they survive?"

Bai Mingwei answered decisively: "Your Highness, don't worry, Shecang will take care of them."

Yes, while Liyang County is implementing disaster relief strategies. Bai Mingwei has arranged for Jin Chaozui's forces to penetrate into every county.

As long as the county magistrate implements disaster relief policies according to the model of Liyang County and attracts wealthy households to build communes and warehouses, the support she can provide to the people can be given out in a steady stream under the cloak of communes and warehouses to benefit the people.

Maybe she can't save everyone, but she will definitely spare no effort.

Liu Yao said in a heavy voice: "Just now, a child smelled the scones on my hand. He took my hand and licked it there."

"He is still so young, but so thin, and his eyes are bulging. I don't know how he can survive until now."

At this moment, neither Bai Mingwei nor Yu Jianling responded.

The next moment, Liu Yao continued to speak: "There was a lot of blood on his body and on his mouth. I guess it's not his."

"In addition to exchanging children for food, I remember reading in a book a story about a mother cutting meat to feed her children during the famine. I always thought it was a lie."

"I think that that little, thin boy must have a mother who is willing to lay down her life for him if he is alive to this day."

Speaking of this, his calm expression suddenly changed.

It seems that in the next moment, he will burst into tears.

But at the end, there was grief and regret in his eyes, but there was no hint of collapse.

The guards who had buried the people came back one after another and stood there neatly.

There was blood and mud on their bodies.

Neither of them said a word.

The solemn atmosphere is even more oppressive than this vast forest.

And the corpses of the bandits were all piled together.

Dead branches and leaves are mixed in between each layer of corpses.

There was also a thick layer piled up around and up and down.

Finally, Liu Yao put his hands behind his back and said: "General, it is urgent to find out the source of the flood. I order everyone to set off."

After saying that, he got into the carriage.

Days of running around made him lose a lot of weight.

They are completely different from the flowers and butterflies they encountered before the expedition.

But at that time, he was wearing the most gorgeous brocade clothes, his hair was meticulously combed, and his unconcealed nobility still made people reluctant to look at him.

Now he has a haggard face, and his clothes are ordinary and shabby, but his responsible body makes people involuntarily admire him.

After checking the rope for him, Bai Ming said softly: "Let's set off immediately."

The guards were quick and ready with everything they needed.

The wheels rolled over the muddy road, leaving behind the tall dirt bag and the mountain of corpses.

Then he ran over the blood-soaked land and continued driving forward.

When the carriage passed the mountain col and climbed over a small hillside, bursts of green smoke billowed out from behind.

The dead branches mixed with rosin were burning vigorously, and the corpses of the bandits were slowly burned in the raging fire.

A strange stench spread in the dense forest.

There were hundreds of people in the team, but no one made a sound.

After experiencing the tragic situation just now, most people feel heavy at this moment.

Silence is a way for them to express their emotions.

But in this silence, Bai Xiao, who was accompanying Meng Ziang, came to Bai Mingwei: "Miss, Mr. Meng has something urgent to ask you."
