57. Relief
Li Pei returned with a blue face within a few minutes. "The magistrate refused to meet him on the grounds of being busy with official duties!"
She knew that this was the striking of the magistrate - the royal nobles should also be able to make some sense and not make too much noise.
Although Li Pei is very capable, his foundation is still shallow after all, and he has nothing to do with many things.
After thinking for a while, she said, "If it were not forbidden, I would not be willing to use force against the victims. Let's go outside the city to explore the situation first!"
~~~~~~~~
Several people were still driving by Zhang Jin out of the city to check the situation as they did last time.
But when I arrived at the city gate, I found that the gate was closed and I could no longer go out.
Li Pei suddenly had a bad premonition and quickly climbed the city wall.
Seeing the situation outside, she was always calm and calm, and couldn't help but speak out in surprise: "How come there are so many!!!"
I saw that all the skinny and dying hungry people were crowded with the outside of the city.
I especially remember that there were only ten thousand people two days ago, but now there are crowds of people, with at least 100,000!
~~~~~~~~~~
Under the city, there was a malnourished child begging weakly at the city.
His limbs were like numb rods, his ribs were clearly visible, making his belly look particularly large.
Begging non-stop, he said at the same time: "Dad, there is a noble man coming to the city! I saw the officers of the state soldiers accompanying me. If I kowtow a few more, I might get rewards."
A thin middle-aged man with protruding cheekbones moaned to his son weakly: "Zhuzi, stop moving, keep your energy..."
Zhuzi kowtowed a few more times before slowly coming to a woman lying on the ground, "Mom, I got a reward from you for buying food..."
The woman's lips were dry and chapped, her face was withered and pale, and several flies were drilling in and out of her nostrils.
Zhuzi tentatively breathed, but shrank his hand like an electric shock, quickly climbed to his father and cried, "Mom is dead..."
The middle-aged man opened his godless eyes and glanced at his wife, with a tone of relief: "It's okay to die, it's okay to die, you don't have to suffer if you die..."
Several people with green eyes also found the body, and they licked their lips and came over.
~~~~~~~~
"A year of severe drought, people eat each other..."
The short six words in history books are the scene like a purgatory on earth in front of you.
Lu Yao frowned, but he didn't expect that this was the case outside the city in another world.
Born in Blue Star, the peaceful country, knows nothing about famine. Now the people of Xia are worried about a series of health problems caused by obesity.
Li Pei's face turned pale and turned around to ask the state soldiers standing beside him: "General Xu Shen, does the magistrate know about the situation here? Why don't he send someone to provide relief!"
General Xu Gan hurriedly bowed and replied: "Princess, there were not so many people, but they suddenly gathered in the past few days. I have already reported it urgently, but there is no news yet."
This person is big and slutty, looking a little silly, but he is a master in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, but his strength and identity are far inferior to Li Pei, so he dare not act rashly at all at this moment.
~~~~~~~~
Li Pei took a deep breath and said decisively: "This situation is like cooking oil in a fire. If a little spark goes on, it will cause a big problem. Zhang Jin, please bring my princess to the top of the city."
Zhang Jin was shocked and subconsciously advised: "Princess, this move will be impeached..."
But he quickly shut up. He knew who his master was. Although he was a daughter, he could promote profits and eliminate disadvantages, and he would not lose his passion for the country and the people.
Zhang Jin left with a complicated expression.
Li Pei turned to Lu Yao and the others and said, "Martial arts are not omnipotent, you can go back first."
Lu Yao stepped forward and said, "I have some 'surplus grain' in my next home, and I am willing to help with disaster relief..."
"Mr. Lu is kind-hearted, and I appreciate the kindness." Li Pei smiled bitterly. No matter how rich a person is, he will be a drop in the bucket.
Liao Ya also said: "My junior brother has some skills, maybe he can really help you, Princess..."
At this time, a neat footsteps interrupted the brief conversation of several people, and countless soldiers were escorting a man in a big red official robe.
The soldiers were full of vigor and high morale. They were the model soldiers of the prefect.
The man is Wen Renliang, the governor of Yunzhou.
It was said that it was a good thing that he came so quickly, but Li Pei had a bad face and couldn't help but curse: "This old bastard!"
~~~~~~~
Lu Yao quietly explained to the two sisters:
"This guy came so quickly, and he was clearly prepared. He obviously calculated that the princess would not ignore it. In this way, he not only could leverage his power, but also had one more person to take the blame for something in the future. It's really easy to plot~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Wen Renliang Wen prefect climbed to the top of the city.
Behind him, Lu Shijie, the assistant military officer with a dead horse, looked like a horse.
He was forced to come from the prefect. The Bingbeidao had the power to supervise the local army, and he, the assistant minister, was also a wonderful candidate for the blame.
Lu Shijie never expected that the rioters would reach 100,000 yuan. At this moment, he felt a little happy. The big pit that was originally prepared for Li Pei is now trapped in one piece!
~~~~~~~~
Li Pei looked cold and said, "Mr. Wen, you have also seen the tragic situation outside the city. Please help the victims immediately."
Wen Renliang is very good at speaking, very innocent. "Princess, it is hard to cook without rice. I have to maintain the concession and provide new troops with surplus grain relief?"
"Purchase from grain merchants or force them to be charged! Today, people must organize their hands to 'porridge'!"
Wen Renliang looked calm: "It's so let the princess know that most of the grain in our Yunzhou City is in the hands of your future husband's family, and they are stocked up to be sold at high prices."
"!!!" Li Pei's expression changed and he was speechless for a long time.
Wen Renliang said slowly:
"The importance of Yunzhou is not necessary, and there is no need to be misunderstood. I just received a tip-off that the people outside the city were bewitched by the demons of the "Mahayana Sect" and were ready to besiege the prefecture.
This cannot be called a "disaster victim", but a complete rioter. The official immediately ordered the state soldiers to be wiped out, but you need to report a joint report afterwards."
Lu Shijie, who had been silent, responded first: "The magistrate is right, and I will sign the memorial in the memorial!"
The Liao sisters can't hold on! This is clearly meant to characterize the victims as rioters and eliminate them violently!
Just as he was about to speak out without hesitation, Lu Yao grabbed him and glanced at Li Pei.
The short-haired princess who was incompatible with the feudal dynasty looked at the purgatory outside the city and said softly:
"We have guns, cannons, and powerful warriors. It's easy to crush these ants..."
Lu Shijie hurriedly said, "That's the most labor-saving method. They starve to death outside the city, so it's better to give them some fun."
Li Pei raised the corner of his mouth and turned back to the woman with a proud and contemptuous face, and smiled:
"Mr. Wen, I don't think you are willing to give porridge and relief on your back. I'll collect grain from the so-called "future husband's family."
