Perhaps it was because of the constant floods of various sizes, but the people of Ling'an lived in high places.
It was reported that he had suffered a lot of casualties. It was only because it had been raining heavily the entire time before the flood. When the flood was about to arrive, the rain stopped, and they hadn't worked in the farmlands for a long time.
Then, the citizens of Ling'an descended to the ground one after another, and let the flood occur all year round. They were not surprised by the situation, and immediately lost their vigilance.
In addition, the ground was moist, and most of it was stained with mud. It was not easy to walk on.
When the flood overflowed the dam, the people were unable to dodge in time and were swept away by the monstrous flood.
As a result, there were heavy casualties.
They walked all the way to Ling'an County's Yamen. However, they didn't see any open yamen, nor did they see any official guarding the gate.
Su Jinruo frowned slightly. Since Ling An's County Magistrate did not come out to welcome them, they treated it as a special period and did not think too much about it.
Available...
How could a yamen not open the door?
Before Su Jinruo could think of anything, a large group of refugees appeared around them.
Their faces were indignant, and their hands were covered with a moist loess.
Before they could open their mouths to say anything, the dirt in the refugees' hands had already turned straight towards them.
With harsh words, they said angrily: "Everyone, watch them! Although they are dressed in plain clothes, and did not ride into Ling An on big horses, they dare to stand at the entrance of the yamen, then they must be the unconscious dogs and officials sent by the capital!
There was no need to say anything else. We smashed them together to death one by one, and how long has it been since the flood had happened, and now that all of our food has been eaten by them, they just promised us that the government's food aid would arrive soon.
Until now, he still hadn't come! Since they are heartless, don't blame us for being unjust, we are also people who have mothers and children, on what basis can they live so well, and yet we have to watch their families die one by one?! People say, don't they?! "
"Yes, smash them to death!"
"Right, smash these dog officials to death!"
"That's right, they are all raised by mother's birth parents. Why are they able to live so well?!"
"…"
Wet yellow mud... Smashing on their bodies with anger, the few of them were forced to endure.
It didn't matter if they were facing a disaster or not. People in high positions had to think for the people below. This is the eternal truth.
It was because the power in the hands of those in high positions was enough to change a world.
A pile of yellow mud was smashed on his face. Su Jinruo couldn't help but frown as pain assaulted his mind.
All of a sudden, his arm tightened and was forcefully dragged along by a powerful force. Soon after … A tall figure came forward.
He protected her in his arms and blocked all of the attacks in front of her.
Su Jinruo was startled and subconsciously pushed aside, an unquestionable sound of resistance drifting into his ears.
"Don't move, just stay here."
She was clearly still as strong and cold as before, but Su Jinruo felt that something was different.
Her eyes flickered slightly as she said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that with the prince acting in such a manner, it will arouse the anger of the people even more."
Originally, these refugees harbored grudges in their hearts, but now that Shen Hancheng was protecting her, they probably …
Even more so, it would arouse their displeasure.
Su Jinruo was right.
Those refugees who had already used eighty to ninety percent of their strength, were now using all their might to directly smash towards Shen Hancheng.
Shen Hancheng's expression did not change as he replied solemnly. "This king knows."
Su Jinruo frowned and began to ponder.
Shen Fan's face began to turn white. His body was never in a very good condition, and his men had also imitated Shen Hancheng and stood in front of him to block a portion of the attack from the yellow mud on the ground.
Qian Yijian grimaced in pain from the smash, but once Shen Hancheng made a move, he immediately protected him from behind.
His master was a hero saving the beauty... Oh no, a hero, save a hero! How dare he let such a arrogant master get hurt?!
Alright, he was only afraid of Qian Yi who was thousands of miles away … After knowing that he did not protect his master, even if he had to suffer a hundred blows from a military rod, he would crawl up and chase after her, beating her up to the point that her peach blossoms bloomed!
The two of them silently endured the anger of the refugees. After a long while, Shen Hancheng opened his mouth and said:
"The matter of the restaurant was not my intention."
Su Jinruo's eyes flashed, then replied: "This official knows."
Previously, she did think that Qian Yi's assassination in the restaurant was because of Shen Hancheng's orders.
At that time... She didn't know what to think, but after she discovered that the person who mercilessly and unhesitatingly wanted to take her life was actually Qian Yi, she felt relieved.
According to normal reasoning, the one who was immediately suspicious was his master, Shen Hancheng.
After all, Qian Yi followed Shen Hancheng's orders.
When Qian Yi escaped, her emotions fluctuated, but after she slowly calmed down, her heart grew suspicious.
Mu Jing's letter immediately solved the doubt in her heart.
It was impossible for the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng to lay a hand on her.
First, there was no reason.
Even if Shen Hancheng knew who set this up, with him protecting her and jumping off the cliff, she would have thought that Shen Hancheng wouldn't kill her. At least … There was no reason to kill her at the moment.
Secondly, he was a proud and rebellious person. If he really wanted to make a move on her, there were thousands of ways.
Even if he was, given Shen Hancheng's character, he would definitely not … Just like this, he would let her die by the blade. Before taking her life, he would naturally make her suffer until she dies. In the end … Only then would he deal with her.
The third was Mu Jing's letter.
There was a saying in Mu Jing's words. It was made by the assassins when Dongling Liusu was ambushed.
If Shen Hancheng really wanted to kill her, he could have retracted his orders before he made a move against Dongling Liusu, to prevent this from happening.
Although she didn't know … Why did Shen Hancheng help her carry the hatred of being dislocated, but …
What she could be sure of was that Shen Hancheng had thought of a way to help her.
Know... Within the boundaries of the Ranqi, against a foreign envoy who had a peaceful relationship with another nation, if they were to be investigated for such a crime, they would have to face the death of nine races …
Su Jinruo's eyes were calm, like a bottomless lake, but a strange light that others couldn't feel was flowing in the depths of his eyes.
Shen Hancheng gave Su Jinruo a deep glance. As the color in his eyes flickered, he suddenly let go of Su Jinruo and turned around, instantly moving to the side. In front of the first person to speak out a provocation.
The man was shocked by his sudden action. He bent down and took two or three steps back due to the fright of his upright body.
In his eyes, the red-robed youth's entire body was stained with a sticky yellow mud. He no longer had the elegance he had at first sight and was in an extremely sorry state.
However, every move he made was still calm and collected, and his entire body was emitting a light … A powerful aura that made people unable to look directly at Bei Ni's world filled them with fear.
His handsome face was cold and hard, and the corner of his lips were slightly raised. The person stared at him blankly, listening to him say:
"If you want to rely on the shocking news of people being crushed to death to obtain food so that you can fill your stomachs, This King will tell you that your only fate is …"
The corners of Shen Hancheng's eyes were filled with a cold intent, "Die!"
The troublemaker's heart and soul were shocked by Shen Hancheng's cold aura, his eyes full of fear.
When the other refugees saw this, although they were afraid of Shen Hancheng's strange and quick movements, they still...
In a life or death situation, they couldn't care so much.
They were all holding fist-sized balls of yellow mud, and using all of their strength, they all smashed towards Shen Hancheng.
Su Jinruo's eyes changed slightly as he flipped his wrist and spun his body.
After a gust of wind passed, the yellow mud that was attacking Shen Hancheng instantly fell to the ground.
His actions were as simple as slicing watermelon.
The refugees were dumbfounded.
After he recovered from his shock, he wanted to run, but Shen Hancheng seemed to have seen through their thoughts, and said:
"What are you running for? If I wanted to deal with you, I would let you smash me …" "This mess?!"
The corner of Qian Yijian's mouth twitched, and with both feet touching the ground, he flew up and blocked the way in front of the refugees.
Lv Ruo wiped the mud on his neck with a single hand and also flew up, stopping the anxious and flustered refugees.
Seeing that the road in front was blocked and that there was nowhere to run, the refugees could not help but lose their minds.
It was a disappointment built up over and over again, seeing the pain of their loved ones losing their breath over and over again. That resentment coming from the depths of their hearts was enough to make them not fear power.
They turned their heads around, and all of them looked towards the source of the voice … The troublemaker who was stopped by Shen Hancheng waited for his instructions.
The troublemaker swallowed his saliva and tried his best to remain calm, "Which one of you officials is not hypocritical?! How many times have you promised us that the food from the imperial government would arrive soon? But so far … Two days had passed, but there was still no movement from the food! Don't think that just because you endure our attacks that you will be grateful to us if you don't attack us. Just who was the one at fault in this matter?! "
As a citizen of Ling'an, he had rarely experienced two days of hunger.
Just like the Huaxia race, the people living in the south could not understand the pain of lack of water in the north.
It was all because he had never had such an opportunity to empathize with him.
Su Jinruo's eyes were still, and she remained silent.
Qian Yijian could not help but speak up, "What you say is wrong. Within the palace, the division of duties is clear. We are not people who transport food, and we are not clear about this yet … For what reason has food not arrived yet, why don't we all calm down first, please don't kill a boat with a single blow! "
Shen Fan glanced at Shen Hancheng, and then said gently: "Everyone has seen, the one who stopped everyone first, was the supervisor of this time's supervisor. He is extremely skilled, and with his skills, he wanted to take everyone's lives, but in that short period of time, it was just that. However, he did not do so. First of all, this is a question of sincerity. As officials, we are sincere in repaying the people who have suffered. Everyone, please let go of the anger in your heart and listen to our overseer … What instructions do you have for this? "
Although Shen Fan's words were for the moment, the people's angry emotions were used to comfort him, but... The so-called sincerity naturally didn't allow words to be spoken.
He was forcing Shen Hancheng to give an explanation to these citizens.
The current situation of the food was not clear, and these citizens were only focused on getting the food warm. If Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng agreed to Shen Fan's request, then the food …
If they were unable to meet the requirements, then the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng … He would fall into a passive situation.
Available... If Shen Hancheng had not given any orders, he would have lost the will of his people and died before he could even start training!
What a dilemma!
