Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

The few thorns like those just now, especially the unruly mobster who was so bold and dared to fight against the government officials, should be cleared away quickly. Otherwise, keeping such people will sooner or later be a disaster. If something happens, the first mob will That's the kind of person.

"It's good that you understand."

Chen Kuan looked very happy.

Of course, even if the stick is beaten, the sweet dates still have to be given, or the cakes still have to be painted.

If it were in the past, there would be no need to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but now the situation is special, and the buttocks that need to be wiped still have to be wiped.

"Okay, let's start distributing food now."

He sat back on the stool and picked up the book beside him.

Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and while opening the booklet, he said: "Actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic. The County Lord knows that one stone of food is not enough to move Montenegro, so he is now thinking of ways to prepare food everywhere and try his best to help you spend your time." If you get through the difficulties, at least you won't lose your livelihood as soon as you arrive in Montenegro. After you get the food and go back, you can just wait with peace of mind."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and then a glimmer of light quietly flashed in their eyes.

At any rate, this is a glimmer of hope, isn't it...

People always tend to believe what they want to believe, and soon, everyone became more honest.

"Thank you, Lord County Lord, thank you Lord Registrar!"

"Your Excellency, what a good official!"

"Master Qingtian..."

Seeing this scene, Chen Cang shook his head slightly inexplicably, with a hint of indifferent smile on his face.

After an unknown period of time, all the grains placed behind the government office were finally distributed. In order to express the government's apology, Chen Kuan also ordered some more grains to be distributed to some elderly people who were obviously "highly respected".

After receiving the food, everyone left the county government one after another and returned to Montenegro.

At the same time, Yongping Village.

"Hmm..."

Chu Baoer groaned, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Wake up."

A magnetic voice sounded in my ears.

Very strange voice.

Chu Baoer turned his head drowsily.

A moment later, when her vision returned to clarity, a handsome face appeared in front of her.

strange face.

stranger? !

In an instant, she was horrified, the chaos in her mind disappeared instantly, and then she hugged the quilt and retreated back.

"You...who are you? Why are you at my house?!"

The one who looked at her with frightened eyes was naturally Lu Chen.

Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the panicked look of the little girl in front of him who looked a bit like a certain black girl in his impression.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but at this moment——

"Oh no!"

Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded outside the door.

Chapter 211

The sound coming from outside the door immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Including Mr. Chen and others who saw Chu Baoer in the room with a frightened face and were about to explain.

Gu Simiao and Fu Hua walked quietly to Lu Chen and turned around. Lu Chen also stood up, frowning slightly.

"It's Aunt Li's stone!"

Old Chen's expression changed slightly.

Others also looked shocked.

"Didn't he and Uncle Chu go to the government to ask for food? What happened?"

"Could it be..."

An unknown premonition rose from the hearts of everyone.

Not long after, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, more than a dozen young men who were obviously farmers came to the gate of the Chu family courtyard and appeared in front of everyone.

They were sweating profusely and looked anxious. Just by looking at their faces, it was easy to tell that something bad had happened to them.

And the bad things that happened when you went to the government to ask for food...

Except for Lu Chen and the other three, everyone else looked stern at the same time and did not dare to think any further.

The next second, as if to confirm their guess, the youngest of the men took a breath and shouted:

"Uncle Chu and Brother Chu were beaten to death by the government!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned pale with shock.

"what?"

"Old man Chu and brother..."

"how can that be?"

People screamed in disbelief, their faces full of disbelief.

"what?!"

Suddenly there was an exclamation behind everyone, and then only a muffled sound of "bang" was heard. However, after hearing the news, Chu Baoer climbed up from the bed and subconsciously walked outside without a single step. Stable, the whole person fell down and rolled to the ground.

"Baby!"

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Chen's wife hurried over and prepared to help Bao'er up.

However, before she could move, Bao'er, who had fallen to pieces, stood up on his own, then strode to the door regardless of the pain on his body.

Unsteady, she held on to the doorframe and asked Shitou and the others outside the door eagerly:

"Brother Shitou, what did you just say? My father and brother were...beaten to death?"

Seeing Bao'er coming out looking extremely weak, the young man named Shitou was suddenly shocked.

"Sister Bao'er, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine!"

Chu Baoer gritted his teeth and looked extremely anxious.

"Brother Shitou, please leave me alone and tell me what happened? My father and brother... they... how did they..."

As she spoke, her voice became more and more trembling, her eyes gradually turned red, and tears shone in her eyes.

When asked urgently, Shitou reacted quickly, but when he saw Chu Baoer's expression of pity, he hesitated subconsciously, with a look of intolerance on his face.

"Say it!"

Mr. Chen urged in a deep voice.

Shitou took a deep breath, then looked at the others, his face gradually showed a sad look, and slowly told what happened today.

As he told the story, everyone's expressions became more and more ugly, while Chu Baoer's pupils shrank suddenly.

Mr. Chen's old hand on crutches tightened suddenly: "You mean, the government claimed that the mutual aid grain in Xicang was burned down by evil spirits. They originally promised to give us ten shi of grain, but now there is only one shi left?"

"Old man Chu and Brother Chu came forward to argue, but they were all beaten to death by the county chief for disturbing the public and resisting the government?"

Shitou nodded heavily.

"That's right, Mr. Chen."

He said with a look of anger: "The dog officer couldn't resist, brother, so he sent the yamen officers to use violence against him. In his desperation, Uncle Chu accidentally injured two police officers, and the dog officer beat him to death himself!" "

As soon as these words came out, everyone's mood suddenly became extremely heavy.

If we can get the ten kilo of food that we originally promised, we can survive for a year and a half even in Montenegro. Maybe we can find some way to survive later, but now, we only have one stone of food... .

With this little food, they could only survive for two months at most, and then the whole family would starve to death on this bare black mountain.

Regardless of whether the evil spirits burning food were true or false, they had no way of survival.

When they thought of this, everyone became extremely desperate.

Pfft!

Only a muffled sound was heard, but it was Mrs. Chen who was supporting Chu Baoer who couldn't bear the blow and fell to the ground.

"The food...is gone..."

When she realized what she was doing, she burst into tears.

"Oh my god!! How can we live like this?!"

A shrill cry rang out.

Everyone was silent.

It is true that the unfair experience of Chu Zhan and Chu Yu is outrageous, but...how can their situation be better?

What qualifications do they have to pity Chu Zhan's family?

And after Chu Baoer heard that his father and brother were beaten to death with sticks, his vision went dark, his eyes turned white, and he almost lost consciousness again, but he no longer had the strength to support his body. Without the support of Aunt Chen, his beautiful body He leaned forward and fell headfirst onto the ground.

Her head was about to hit the muddy ground, and at this moment——

slap~

Only a soft sound was heard, and a spiritual shield appeared out of thin air in front of her, barely blocking her.

Gu Simiao slowly retracted her hand.

"What a great Taihe County, what a great mutual aid food."

Her voice was very cold.
