Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 523 Hunger Drives People Crazy

All the generals responded in unison, but in fact, most of them were a little bit disapproving.Dealing with political affairs, the herdsmen's side, is the job of the civil servants, and they are rough people, as long as they are proficient in fighting the enemy.

Gongzhi probably guessed what they were thinking, so he didn't persuade them deeply, but only added, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

A few of them's eyes lit up, and they were a little moved, but most of the generals still didn't respond.

Gong Zhiming was not in a hurry, he waved his hand to signal them to back off.The seeds have already been planted, as for how many will germinate, it depends on God's will, and it also depends on their own hard work.

Who said that a military general has nothing to do with governing the world, he has killed countless enemies, and he also governs Dong Hao's government and peace?
Not to mention how the army hurriedly prepared to pull out the camp, how confused the two anti-kings were and fortunately no one was chasing them, just say that this moment outside the capital was exactly as Gong Zhiming guessed, the cold and hungry victims were like a pile of dry firewood, almost a pile of firewood. Lighting a fire can blaze and destroy the capital.

In the southeast of the tall capital city, the city walls are used to resist the harsh northwest wind. The victims who fled here directly built temporary sheds to the base of the wall.Some are better, made of wooden boards that I don’t know where to find, and some are simple, simply made of branches and cattails piled together randomly.

The gray-haired old man and the ragged children huddled in the shed, covered with dark and tattered quilts, shivering from the cold, poking their heads out whenever anyone passed by, looking forward to the porridge from their parents and relatives Come back to comfort a screaming stomach.

It's a pity that the porridge that was distributed every noon in the past, I don't know why the distribution didn't start until the afternoon.

The porridge shed at the gate of the city was full of people, seeing the women in the shed chatting and laughing with the officials, but there was no fire to cook the porridge. Make a fire and cook porridge, my old lady is still waiting to bring the porridge back!"

The official servant in the shed was joking with his wife, and was very displeased when he was suddenly interrupted. He rolled his eyes and scolded, "What are you shouting for? A bunch of starving ghosts know to open their mouths to eat every day, and they treat us as grain growers." Ah. The city doesn’t bring food, how can we cook porridge!”

The man was furious at being scolded, but he didn't dare to resist, so he could only hold back his anger and asked, "Does the official officer know when the food will be delivered from the city?"

"That's right, Mr. Guancha, we only count on a bowl of gruel every day to survive. It's this time today, why haven't we sent food. Let's just let it go, the children and the elderly at home can't wait!"

"That's right, Mr. Guancha is kind enough to ask for help!"

The woman's heart softened, and a woman sitting in the corner of the shed warming up by the fire whispered, "Today is indeed much later than in the past, why don't you ask?"

The officer thought for a while, and then yelled at the victims, "Wait!"

After all, he was about to go back to the city to ask, but before he got out of the shed, an official sent a horse to the door and shouted, "Liang Kuguan is caught in the wind and cold, and no one is releasing food today. Huo, come back tomorrow."

"Okay, I got it, I'm going to trouble the three of you, I'll treat you to a drink some other day!"

The officials in the porridge shed smiled and exchanged polite greetings with the visitors, and after seeing off the knights, they called a few women to pack up their things.

Although the refugees heard vaguely, they knew that there was no porridge today.

Someone couldn't help but shouted loudly, "Master Guancha, can't you go to the city to ask? If you don't serve porridge today, many people will starve to death."

"Yes, please do me a favor, Mr. Guancha. In such a cold day, without even a mouthful of porridge, my child will die!"

"Master Guancha, please take pity on us!"

Everyone begged one after another. At this moment, facing the situation where their family members were dying of cold and hunger, their integrity and dignity were no longer important. They just wanted a bowl of hot porridge. Maybe it was so watery that there were no rice grains, maybe they couldn’t get enough to eat at all. It's the hope of living...

Unfortunately, sometimes, hope is often used to annihilate.

The official's envoy was deaf to the begging of the people, and the women who led the things were going back to the city.

The door of the shed was tightly blocked by anxious victims, so he waved the scabbard in his hand and cursed, "Go away, I have a way, so I won't come here every day to hang out with you starving bastards!"

"Get out of the way quickly, ask for food, and go to the city to find the warehouse manager, what does it have to do with me!"

No matter how much he scolded, no one moved out of the way.

This official was also used to being arrogant, so he raised his hand and smashed down the one and a half children in the front.

Normally, it would be enough to have a bag on the head this time, but this half-child was already very hungry and his face was pale from the cold, so he passed out immediately after being hit suddenly.

The official was stunned with his hands raised high, and the victims also silenced their voices. For a while, the silence outside the porridge shed was extremely strange.

I don't know who suddenly shouted loudly, "Officials don't serve porridge and kill people, everyone has no way to survive!"

"Kill Gou Ri's officials and grab the food!"

If it is said that the people were blocked outside the city by the wind and rain, and the pain of starving and starving accumulated into a pile of dry firewood, then if they did not distribute porridge today, it would be a fire, and the beating by officials would be a ladle of hot oil poured on them later!The entire south city gate was on fire immediately, and before everyone was caught off guard, civil unrest was about to erupt!

Everyone's resentment for suffering was poured on those officials and women. Several officials, especially the one who took the lead in beating people, were knocked to the ground and dragged out before they could draw their long knives out of their sheaths.

In an instant, countless feet stepped up, ruthlessly, again and again, until he could no longer move...

The women ran around in horror, but the red-eyed victims still remembered no shame or morality.The people who rushed into the shed at first rummaged around for food, but after being disappointed, the women became the objects of hatred...

At such a critical moment, a large group of people arrived in the distance.When the young general who led the team saw this appearance, he was about to rush forward with his men, but was stopped by Cheng Dayou who came running to pat on the horse.With a cruel heart, he took the only bamboo tube from his arms and lit it, then threw it far away.

The loud thunder made everyone lose their souls in fright, and the subordinates naturally stopped.

Although the young general had seen the power of thunderbolt bullets before, he still shook his dizzy head, held up a long knife in his hand, and shouted, "Squat down, anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

"Squat down and don't kill, squat down and don't kill!"

Ten thousand soldiers, armed with spears and knives, rushed forward like a tide and quickly surrounded the victims.

Even if the number is far greater than the number of soldiers, refugees are refugees, no matter who is more aggressive than soldiers.Especially when they were frightened by the sudden explosion of thunder just now, they squatted down almost subconsciously.

Some soldiers quickly rushed into the porridge shed, found out the victim who was on top of the woman, and dragged them out like a dead dog.

Immediately, the woman's heart-piercing cry came to mind in the shed, and the victims who had just come to their senses were a little dazed, obviously they just wanted a bowl of porridge, why did they kill someone, and almost ruined it? A woman from another family?
The young general looked at the officer who had died a long time ago, and frowned fiercely.

Before leaving, he waved his hand and gave an order at the general's instructions, "I'll arrest the person who caused the trouble earlier, as well as these few who insulted the woman. The general will come back in three days before he will be convicted!" "

The soldiers agreed with a loud bang, and they struck ruthlessly and quickly, arresting more than a dozen people in the blink of an eye.Some people in the crowd became impatient for some reason, and loudly incited, "Fathers and folks, these officials are all protecting each other. If you arrest someone this time, it will be our turn next time. Don't show them some seriousness today." Look, maybe we won’t serve porridge again in the future!”

Hearing this, the refugees who had already been frightened became agitated again.

The young general looked stern, and with a cold snort he wanted to arrest the soldiers again, but Cheng Dayou stepped forward and said loudly, "Fathers and folks, please listen to me, I am the general's manager. Although the general The soldiers were away, fighting against the two anti-kings, and guarding the safety of Dayue. But the general did not forget the fathers and villagers who were hit by the disaster, and told us to collect the wrong food everywhere. Today I am here to deliver food to everyone. Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late, and almost caused everyone a big disaster!"

"real? "

"Are you really here to deliver food?"

"We don't have to starve to death, the general still remembers us?"

A group of disaster victims suddenly heard that someone still missed them, and even delivered food at this moment. They couldn't believe it, but they looked at Cheng Dayou with eyes full of begging and hope.

Cheng Dayou looked sad, thinking that his family was also kicked out of the shop by the shopkeeper because of the flood in his hometown, so he went to Qingping County to sell himself for a living.

As a result, the family was lucky, and met Uncle Yun to buy manpower for the master, and fell into a lucky pit ever since.The daughter-in-law was taken as the right-hand man by the mistress, and became a big steward herself, and the two sons also grew up eating and sleeping like the little master.

If the master and his family didn't treat and take them in so kindly, even if their bones were not cold, they would still be living in an unknown place to suffer, just like these disaster victims in front of them, without food and clothing, and precarious.

Thinking of this, he became even more excited, and simply shouted loudly, "Fathers and folks, you may not know that four years ago, like everyone else, I lived in begging with my wife and children. The general rescued us, and our family survived. The general is merciful, which is rare in the world. I heard that the drought has reduced production, even though I was fighting on the battlefield, I didn’t forget to ask me to buy food. I just want my fathers and villagers to spend this winter safely! Look, the carriage behind here is full of grain! It’s a full three thousand dan, and there’s still grain coming in, as long as you wait at ease, the general will never let any of his subjects starve to death!”

As his words fell to the ground, the soldiers behind simply moved out of the way, and the refugees clearly saw the high bulging sacks on the carriage, bulging and full.That's not food, that's their lives!
