Chapter 150 Interrogation in Court
"So what? The catastrophe is coming, so why not make some preparations? Landlord Zhang's family has no idea how many people are watching, and I just let them die for comfort."
Zhao Renyi was not to be outdone.
"The refugees **** food for starvation, but you only kill for your own selfish desires. When you die, you don't need to put money on your face."
Kong Lingxiu looked at the person he once respected in disappointment.
"I thought you were just greedy for food, but now it seems that it is enough to be a death penalty, so let's take it away first."
Yan Keshou said with a headache, that in recent years, the officials selected by the imperial court have been uneven, and people with corrupt conduct like this do not know how they were selected.
"You people who don't want to die, occupy my food and return my food to me!"
Zhao Renyi shouted with red eyes, but no one paid him any attention. Because everyone is thinking about where the food in that warehouse should go.
Yan Keshou has traveled all the way here, and he knows the situation in the northwest, not to mention county officials like Zhao County Magistrate, and the situation in larger provincial capitals is not much better. In his opinion, the overall chaos in the northwest is only a matter of time. thing.
At this time, only one person came in from outside the lobby, and the pine-like and handsome temperament added a lot of brilliance to the dark lobby.
Yan Keshou quickly greeted him. Although Kong Lingxiu was still a little surprised, he was also full of gratitude for the person in front of him.
"For today's matter, I still have to thank Young Master Bai for his help."
Kong Lingxiu said.
At the same time, he became even more curious. The few people sent by Bai Gongzi seemed to be ordinary, but their skills were first-class. More than 200 thugs were taken by The seven took them one by one.
If not, they will not only lose food, but also cannot make porridge normally.
Who is this white man?
"Your Excellency Kong County is very kind."
Xiao Xuan's face was not smug, Yan Keshou saw that Xiao Xuan seemed to have something to say, so he waved his hand and backed away the servants around him.
Yin Miao was ready to go out when she saw this, but heard Xiao Xuan say, "You can do it here too."
Yan Keshou glanced at the woman behind Xiao Xuan in surprise. This was King Xuan who was the only one in the capital, and he had never seen King Xuan treat anyone like this before.
However, what surprised him was still behind, the woman even waved her hand and said, "No, I'll take a look outside here, you guys can talk about you."
Yin Miao was not interested in the conversation between the three men, Xiao Xuan didn't hide anything from her anyway, she wanted to take the opportunity to see the situation outside the door.
The gate of the county government office was closed, and Yin Miao did not dare to open the door from the main gate, but sneaked out through the side door near the alley.
The number of refugees on the streets of Pingtong County has been reduced by half. Some people are sitting or lying in the shadows by the roadside. If you look closely, they are old and weak people.
Yin Miao did not go up to ask directly, she wiped some wall ash on her face and hands in the alley, picked up a tattered bowl, and then slowly walked to the side of the road and sat down with the dull-eyed homeless people on the road.
Next to her was a skinny grandmother. When Yin Miao saw her, she thought of Granny Zhang from Changling Village, and she looked even thinner than Granny Zhang.
"Why didn't Grandma go to get porridge?" Yin Miao tried to ask.
The grandmother was wearing a grey headscarf with a kind face. When she heard someone talking beside her, she slowly turned her head and glanced at Yin Miao and said, "Young lady hasn't seen it yet, like our old bones, think about it. It's still too difficult to squeeze in and ask for a bowl of porridge."
"Grandma, I did just arrive in Pingtong County, but I heard that the queue has already started?"
Yin Miao asked. When they were leaving yesterday, they saw that Kong Lingxiu had arranged the porridge scene properly. Even if people who had eaten porridge and went out through the side door wanted to queue up again, they would have to start at the end of the queue. Get ready for a gang fight.
It stands to reason that under such conditions, Kong Lingxiu's approach is quite fair.
"When people are old, they must have the consciousness of being left behind. In this troubled world, it is time for young people to survive."
said the old grandma.
This is...Is there no desire to survive?
Yin Miao has seen people who give up on themselves, but there is no doubt that such people are in deep despair. As long as they can see a little hope, who can be willing to give up their lives?
"A little girl like you, it's better to be careful. Many young girls have been missing recently. I heard that someone came to buy girls and bring them to other places, especially beautiful ones like you."
The old grandma took a deep look at Yin Miao and said in an old voice.
"Thank you grandma, I got it."
Yin Miao sat here for a while after she finished speaking, and when she felt that Xiao Xuan was about to finish chatting with people, she walked along the alley towards the back door of the county government office.
Grandma on the street didn't notice when the little girl beside her left.
When she turned around, she suddenly felt something strange on her body. When she reached into her pocket, she felt a few round things. When she realized what it was, she took one out and found that it was actually full and cooked The little taro…
When Yin Miao came back and found that the three of them had not finished talking, Kong Lingxiu said excitedly:
"Xia Xia was alone and wandering outside. If he could lead the disaster victims in Pingtong County out of the sea of misery, his life would not be in vain."
"What should I do with the grain in Zhao Renyi's warehouse?"
Yan Keshou looked at Xiao Xuan.
"But it's up to two people to deal with it." Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, his expression very relaxed.
Yan Keshou was surprised again. There was a lot of grain in the warehouse, but King Xuan was unmoved. He really was just like the girl said, there are thousands of hectares of fertile fields and granaries!
Yin Miao was also a little surprised, didn't he say that the food would be harvested by them for their own use?
As he was talking, a man with the appearance of a servant rushed to report anxiously from the door: "Sir, it's not good, Zhao Renyi is already surrounded by refugees, and those refugees are about to break through the door to **** food!"
"what?!"
Yan Keshou was shocked. Didn't those people have been directly sent to prison? Who exactly leaked the rumors?
"Oops, I only had people blocked there, and I didn't leave anyone to guard."
Kong Lingxiu stood up and was about to rush outside, but was stopped by Yan Keshou.
"The refugees all know the county magistrate Kong, and you will only add fuel to the fire in the past, maybe you won't even be able to get in!"
Yan Keshou said.
"Then what should we do? Is it possible that all the food will be taken away by the refugees?"
Kong Lingxiu knew that what Yan Keshou said was the truth, but the food would be of great use in the future, and it would be a waste for the refugees to rob them all.
Yan Keshou frowned and thought, seeing that only one of the people present was calm and relaxed, he suddenly thought:
"Master Bai, if these grains are placed with you first, I wonder if Master Bai has a way to solve this urgent need?"
"Since Mr. Yan said this, Bai must have a way."
Xiao Xuan laughed.
