Chapter 612 Disaster Relief
Diao Chan knew that Ma Chao was not Aunt Liu's biological son.But what Diaochan didn't know was that the mother Ma Chao mentioned was not his own mother in the Three Kingdoms era.

However, this interesting mistake ends here.Seeing that Ma Chao was in a good mood, Diao Chan said embarrassingly, "Shadow is not too prepared for this rumor. However, at this moment, the concubine has already let Duanmu Ruoyu, Tang Xiaomi, Shan Qu, Qin Shou and others go deep into the folks. , and began to investigate this rumor..."

After hearing this, Ma Chao didn't speak, and just wanted to wave his hand to signal that it's over.But in the end, he stopped this action, and said: "I think I already have a clue, Chaner, I need you to investigate whether these strange rumors aimed at destroying the reputation of the Ma family group are organized or not. Spread among the people in batches..."

"Husband means that this time the rumor was deliberately spread by someone?" How smart is Diao Chan?As soon as Ma Chao opened his mouth, she immediately understood Ma Chao's intentions.

"It's hard to say now." Ma Chao completely recovered the majestic posture that everything was under control, causing Diao Chan to be a little dazzled, and continued: "And, I think, if it is really what I expected, then this time there will be no blood. The war, I am afraid, has just begun..."

"But now the situation is out of control, and the people in the capital area are no longer willing to accept the Ma family's relief..." Diao Chan broke out suddenly, but she didn't want Ma Chao to be so decadent.And when it comes to dealing with rumors, she really doesn't have a perfect solution.

Fortunately, it seems that Ma Chao already has a plan in mind.However, what he said afterwards made Diao Chan feel that the air, which was gradually getting hot and dry, suddenly became cold to the bone...

"That's because not enough people have died!" Ma Chao stood up abruptly, his eyes blazed with coldness, and said solemnly: "The Ma family has developed to this day, and it is no longer a humble family that yearns for the hearts of all classes. At this moment It must show its strength of character and toughness! Just like Luoyang killed Han Siam, Shunchang perishes!!"

"Husband... What is this?" Diao Chan unconsciously covered her mouth in a daze, and looked in disbelief at the man who had been sleeping with her under the quilt for more than a year: "You mean, you want the people in the capital to live on their own?" Self-destruction? Abandoning them just to save the face of the Ma family?!"

"How is that different from Dong Zhuo back then?!" At this point, Diao Chan couldn't help crying: She can accept her man as a vassal, but she can't spend her whole life with a butcher with a human face and a beast's heart! !Otherwise, why did she bring her own intelligence network and defect to the Ma family without reservation? ! !
"Cicada..." Ma Chao's tone was suddenly difficult and painful, as if the pain after a serious injury.Looking at Diao Chan in his eyes, there was also an extremely painful request, and he said slowly: "It's not that I give up on them, but you forgot that this year, there will be drought and locust plagues... It's not that the Ma family wants to show its ruthlessness. , but the situation forced the Ma family to do so!!"

Diao Chan's face turned pale when she heard the words, she understood the compassion Ma Chao said, and her heart was instantly shattered.In a daze, she only felt that she was being embraced by a strong arm, as if she was about to strangle herself into his body: "What we can and should do, we have already done. Blame , just blame this ruthless history..."

Steadfast love, compassion and a sincere heart to save can't alleviate the current difficulties of the Ma family.The Ma family was still very busy, all the officials and ministers, all kinds of powerful generals, came to the front line to direct the disaster relief and the aftermath.It seems that the Ma family's posture is to fight against the world in the first year of Xingping.

However, the rumors continued and the restlessness remained.Everyone in the capital still loathes and hates the Ma family's kindness. The pride of being a servant in the Ma family has become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats.Until one day, I don't know when it started, the people in the capital began to gradually accept the Ma family's kindness again.

What led to this change was, as Ma Chao expected, the occurrence of even more tragic events, which made the victims no longer care about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and their hearts of loyalty.

June is supposed to be the month when all things recover. However, there is no rain in April in the capital. As for June, Gu Yihu (stone) has risen to 50 yuan, and the area around Sili is thousands of miles away.Although, the barrel carts and overturned carts arranged by the Ma family in advance played a certain watering effect in early spring.However, in June, the entire river flowing through Chang'an began to dry up.Due to the lack of water, the soil has turned into jelly-like hard soil, and pieces of it collapsed and collapsed on the Guanzhong Plain, as if the end is coming.

And at this time, it can be regarded as the prelude to the Ma family's war to save the common people.In the Sili area, although the rumors were still turbulent, the victims, who were already so hungry that they couldn't stand upright, could no longer listen to those boring rumors.Now at this time, whoever can give him a bite to eat, not only for spreading rumors, but also for murder and bloodletting, he will not hesitate.

The scorching sun began to exert its power in the early morning, and the temperature suddenly began to warm up.By dawn, the entire land of Gyeonggi has been infected with a dry heat.And when the sun rose, the old ravens in Weiyang Palace yelled loudly for two hours, and when the smoke was everywhere, they had no choice but to settle in the mass grave in the field.

Ma Chao managed to sleep for a few more hours today, and hurriedly got up at dawn, ordering the whole army of the personal guards to set off to personally inspect the disaster relief work outside the city.

Ma Chao is very grateful to the heavens that such a disaster happened in the hot June instead of the twelfth lunar month.Otherwise, just keeping warm for millions of disaster victims would be enough to make Ma Chao bald; but at the same time, he also cursed the sky that there must be a catastrophe after a catastrophe.Ma family, are you ready for the plague?Now is the hottest time and the best time for the epidemic to spread. Is it best to prepare for killing the people of Sili?Or do you want to take a gamble and see if man can win? !
Ma Chao's usually handsome and resolute face, as dazzling as a brocade, no longer looks like it used to.He frowned tightly, watching the disasters along the way ravaging the world.

It seemed that overnight, Chang'an, which was as prosperous as fireworks, was smashed to pieces by an irresistible big hand.The bustling streets in the past have become deserted.Outside some city walls, Ma Chao saw beggars and refugees huddled with hunger and cold. Among them, some were still trembling and lingering, and some had turned into lifeless pieces of meat that could be eaten by crows and birds; Only the cold moon was left to shine on the ruins, and the whole city of Chang'an was as desolate as a ghost.

The closer you get to the refugee camp, the more painful the tragedy in front of you.Along the way, Ma Chao could hardly bear to open his eyes.At the destination, Ma Chao found that the disaster relief work had not stopped last night. When Ma Chao arrived outside the city, there were still many torches on both sides of the road that had not been completely extinguished, still exuding a little smoke, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers Following Ma Chao, he inspected various relief situations one by one.

After walking a few miles, Zhong Yao, who got the news, hurried up.Ma Chao knew that since the start of the disaster relief work, Zhong Yao, a suave literati and Confucian scholar, rolled out his bed and took a few old servants to work in the temple outside the city, patrolling and supervising day and night, and not allowing his subordinates to slack off .It was also for this reason that all the petty officials in the Ma family hated him to death these days.However, although I hated it in my heart, there was no ambiguity in the matter of helping the victims.

However, even under such circumstances, what Ma Chao didn't want to see happened...
