Revenge of Rebirth: Intrigue

Chapter 645
But Uncle Guo died of a serious illness a few years ago. Although there is a queen, her family has declined, and there are only a few official positions left, and these people are no longer successful. With the queen around, everyone was corrupt and broke the law. Fortunately, it was a trivial matter. The emperor didn't care too much about them for the queen's sake.

Even so, the empress is also a person who should not be underestimated. It's a pity that she doesn't have a good son like Tang Jing. Otherwise, how can there be a noble concubine and Tang Jing today?
While Mu Huaxian and the others were dealing with Tang Jing, Murong Yun was not idle either.

The news that the imperial envoy was going to investigate the disaster relief had leaked out long ago, and Tang Jing even wrote a special letter to remind the prefect and the adults who were greedy for food during the previous disaster relief.

Therefore, the prefect calculated the time of Murong Yun's arrival and made preparations in advance, donating thick rice porridge every day, and sent a message saying that every disaster victim could go to the gate of the prefect's mansion to sign and receive a tael of silver.

However, these high-sounding actions did not fool Murong Yun.

Because, the prefect originally thought that Murong Yun would come with many guards, riding horses and sedan chairs with great fanfare.Unexpectedly, Murong Yun changed into a coarse linen shirt on the way, let one person pretend to be an imperial envoy, and divided into two groups with the escorting imperial envoy, making others mistakenly think that the imperial envoy was in the brigade, but in fact he only brought two The skilled guards rode fast horses and rushed to Hehanzhou first.

Murong Yun mingled among the victims, and saw everything before the eunuch took measures to deal with the imperial envoys.

On the way into the city, he saw that the people were skinny and sick, many of them were so hungry that they gnawed on tree bark and ate grass roots, and women who had just given birth were so hungry that they could not even give their children a mouthful of rice soup. He could hear the child crying heart-piercingly, and later, Murong Yun saw the woman bit off her finger, put it into the child's mouth, and let the child drink her blood.

The old people are even more miserable. The filial children will take the old people to flee famine together. The unfilial ones think they are in the way and leave them alone.

As a result, many old people can be seen leaning on the ground skinny and stretching out their hands to pull the grass next to them to eat.

Murong Yun was heartbroken, this was the first time he had personally visited the disaster-stricken area, and the first time he had seen these shocking scenes with his own eyes.He distributed all the silver and dry food that he brought with him. As soon as he took out the dry food, the eyes of the people around him immediately turned green, and some even rushed over to grab it.

In an emergency, Murong Yun had no choice but to throw out the package containing dry food, and then a group of people rushed over, scrambling to snatch it like hungry wolves, and some even fought for a piece of steamed bun.

Seeing that scene, Murong Yun suddenly regretted it, maybe he was too reckless just now.

His heart was depressed like a big stone, thinking of himself and all the ministers, as well as the emperor, concubines and others who were eating fish, meat, shark's fin and bird's nest every day, looking at the scene before him, he really regretted it.

This also aroused his desire to find out those corrupt officials. Originally, he asked for this errand only because he wanted to take advantage of this to clean up a few more of Tang Jing's subordinates. Now that he saw the suffering of the people, he I feel that the previous purpose is not important anymore. The important thing is to solve the disaster situation, catch corrupt officials and avenge the people.
